After months of opportunity for consider
alton the administration that now controls
the official acts Of the United States has
decided to suppress the government which
the best residential elements in Hawaii
had set up on the ruins Of one Of the rot
tenest thrones ever sat on by debauched
and debauching monarchy and to give such
moral support as this country has en-
trusted to its care to the woman who claims
by descent and by divine right" authority
to sell the interests of her subjects to
the Understanding lottery sharks and the
opium smugglers who will divide most
literally with her majesty the proceeds of
their Illegal acts. The uprising of the
better elements of Hawaiian population,
sympathized with by a vast majority of
the American people. Is therefore to be
nullified by influences that while officially
American are more nearly British in the
manner Of their working. With American
residents owning more than one-half of
Hawaiian property and conducting the
greater proportion Of Hawaii's trade and
with practical acquiescence by most of
the natives in the situation as it was be-
fore Minister Paramount Blount was in
tected therein, this government concludes
to upset conditions that are at least semi
satisfactory. elects to encourage conspiracy
anu provoke DlOOOSneO, JOINS nanQS with the
outlaws who have manufactured the uproar
against the republican idea; and all to the
end that a far from admirable specimen
Of womanhood be reclad with power to
work great evil. To say that such a posi-
ton Is an astounding one is to speak
mildly.
That the course of the administration is
indefensible must be evident to all reason
ing people. 1t matters not now how the
revolution was brought about; that it &C.
CURED Is history, but with those causes the
President can have nothing to do. Both
President Harrison and President Cleveland
have recognized the provisional govern
ment as a power, the latter having sent to
that government two representatives. Pres
ident Cleveland might withdraw the Ameri-
can minister If he simply desired to let the
two factions fight 1t out among themselves;
that would be an unfriendly act. But to
drag the throne from out the royal woodshed
and. after busting it off with the frazZlei
hopes Of honest Americans. replace thelow-
comedy queen on its cushions is an act Of
hostility toward a friendly power which
neither the Americans Of Hawaii nor those
of the United States are likely to forget
Responsibility for the destruction of Amer
lean interests and influence in Hawaii and
for bloodshed and loss of life which NAV
result from this effort of the great republic
to bolster up rotten pro-English mon
arehy will be upon the administration of
President Cleveland And the burden will
be heavy.

There are two roads in which the demo-
cratic party will do well to go slow. The
first is that leading to the imposition of an
income tax; the other that leading to the
restoration of a monarchy in the govern
ment of the Hawaiian Islands. Judging from
the results of last Tuesdays election, that
organization is in no condition to fool with
the temper Of the American people, and tine
adoption by 1t of either of the proposed
measures referred to above will be pretty
certain to aggravate existing relations,
which seem to be badly strained. to say the
least, at the present time.

The Georgetown citizens have reorsanized

To imagine that the "bosses'' and rings
and dishonest combines were forever
crushed by Tuesdays elections is to be
over sanguine as to the coming of rlillen-
NAL times, but there is much comfort to
be extracted from the probability that the
machine politicians Of the two parties were
so heavily Jared as to ensure decency in
state and municipal management for some
time to come. A fair type OF the man who
will be prominent in public affairs. for a
season at least, is Mayor-elect Schieren of
Brooklyn. He Is a republican. but the par
tisan inclination Is subordinated almost
entirely to businesslike considerations. In
a comprehensive declaration Of intentions
he says that his appointments will be made
for the best interests of the city, and that
democrats will be recognized just as re-
publicans will-because Of their ability to
render the city faithful service. He is
satisfied that both the republican and demo-
cratic rings have been smashed out OF ex-
istence. and looks for a complete and clean
reorganization. 1.-The old republican ma

terie. 1t has been suspected for years that
they were playing together and that no
beneficial result would follow the turning
out of the one and installing the other l
do not believe that mayoralty candidate
Of the republican organization could be
elected. sweeping change in the organi
zation is bound to come. and 1t will be
brought about on the lines Of the republican
club. New district leaders who sought to
advance only personal interests. which were
ofttimes accomplished by tricky coalitions
with the democrats, have got to be sup
planted by new men," Bosses who were
apparently opposed to each other have
often been accused of thievish harmony,
and that the accusations were well founded
seems evident from Mr.. Schieren's COM
mentary on conditions past. He says that
to show that both machines have worked
together at the expense of the city 1t is
only necessary to consult the municipal
pay rolls, where you will find the names
of number of prominent republicans who
are thought good enough republicans to
be sent to the state conventions OF the
party" No decent citizen will object to
the immediate retirement OF those men.
1t is evident that neither party can afford
to throw stones at the record of its
bosses" and it Is a healthful sign when
the best men of both parties move shoulder
to shoulder against a common foe, whose
long-continued supremacy would endanger
the stability of the republic.

Views on the Breakdown.

Wash. Cor. Philadelphia Press.
There is general indignation here over
President Cleveland's extraordinary back
down in the Hawaiian matter. All classes
OF public men were interested in the Gres-
ham letter. but many preferred to wait be-
fore expressing themselves.
An indignant democrat, who took to heart
the democratic defeat of Tuesday, in a pro-
test against the administration domestic
policy said when he heard of the PROPOSE
ton to return the monarchy in Hawaii: "lf
this correspondence had been made public
three days before the election the republi-
can victory would have been almost unani-
nous. 1t would have meant an additional
10000 to the majority in Ohio at least.

democratic ticket again.

Public men in Washing ton, without regard

made public by Secretary Gresham after the
meeting Of the abinet today and wha
they may say for publication, democrats and
republicans alike privately admit that in
their opinion the Administration has gone
too far. They admit further their belief
that had the correspondence given out to-

This death rate is made higher by the ex

This death rate Is made higher by the ex.
cessive mortality among colored children.
The report shows that Washington is &C
counted as a healthy city. The death rate
among the whites Is exceedingly low. be-
ing 1885. The death rate Of the whole pop
ulation is pa, the increase being due to
the high rate Of 33.25 among the colored.
One problem, then, Is to discover why the
colored people of the District die in a
healthy city nearly twice as fast as the
whites. When the causes are ascertained
the duty of removing them. IL they can be
removed must be accepted by the people.
To neglect II would be criminal. DR.. Bill
ings' figures tend to show that this differ
ence in the death rates OF white and colored
is not due to differences in the physical
structure Of the two races. II it were the
ratio would be practically constant in every
city where there Is a large colored popula-
ton. There is. however a great variation
in the figures. The excessively high death
rate among colored children Is shown to be
an unnecessary thing, because the figures
vary greatly in different localities right in
Washington. Then. II Is fair to assume
that the waste Of life Is due to causes that
may to a large extent be remedied. Pow
erty and ignorance and their attendant
train of evils claim many lives annually.
So DR.. Billings report maps out distinctly
work to be done by the municipal authori-
ties and by citizens. The need for co-opera-
tive effort in the work Of life saving led to
the organization Of the Sanitary League.
Many citizens becoming impressed with
the practical good such an organization
could do for the city Joined 1t and, as men,
bership Is open to all, 1t Is believed that
the winter will witness large accessions to
its ranks In addition to practical investi-
cation the plan Of the league contemplates
a campaign Of education. 1t aims to diff
fuse among all the people knowledge on
sanitary subJects-knowledge that may
save many lives and prevent much suffer-
ing. The league has already taken steps
The appearance of Dr. Billings report at
this time will help to give Intelligent direc
ton to its efforts and may secure for 1t the
active aid of citizens who will learn from 1t
the Importance Of the objects for which 1t
is striving. There are two lines Of work
particularly suggested by the report. First,
the special investigation of districts in
which the mortality has been comparatively
great with a view to remedying the con-
ditions that have produced such sad results.
Second. a special inquiry into the causes
of the excessive death rate among the col
ored people and determined effort to re-
duce 1t. Intelligent and persistent effort
on these lines will answer the two most
important problems stated by Dr. Billings.
