SITUATION AT HONOLULU

According to one view of the
hauling down of the American flag
at Honolulu the republic has mo-
mentarily loosened its hold in
order to take tighter and more
tenable grip. Uncle Sam is warn
ed, however, to take note of the
fate of the Irishman, who, climb
ing a rope hand-over-hand, was
dissatisfied with his hold of the
rope and VINO let go unanimously
and all at once in order "to spit on
his hands"-with disastrous re-
suits.
The meaning and effect of the
withdrawal of the United States
are not yet clear. 1t does not
necessarily follow that this admin
istration has resolved to reverse
the policy of its predecessor and to
cut loose from Hawaiian entangle-
ments. The raising of the Amer
lean flag was disavowed by the
Harrison administration, so far as
the act appeared etc impair in any
way the independent sovereignty
of the Hawaiian government by
substituting the flag and the power
of the United States as the symbol
and manifestation of paramount
authority" If Mr.. Blount finds
that this condition of disavowal
exists, the withdrawal of the flag
is in pursuance of the govern
ment's previous policy, and is not
inconsistent with the desire to as
sume or retain such control over the
islands as will protect and develop
American interests. On the other
hand many persons believe that the
withdrawal is the first step in a
fixed policy of abandoning all in
tervention in Hawaii and leaving
American interests there to look
out for themselves. Has Uncle
Sam made wise move which I'M
proves his position in negotiating
for a protectorate, or has he let go
entirely of the Hawaiian rope and
tumbled in heap to the ground?
Public opinion in the United
States demands the full protection
of American interests In Hawaii
and the prohibition of control by
any foreign power. The smallest
amount of political Intervention
which will accomplish these ends
is what is desired. If a protector
ate will be effective, then protect
crate let it be. If some form of
annexation is essential, then with
the greatest precautions in the pro-
vision of safeguards let Hawaii be
annexed. But public opinion will
not tolerate the abandonment of the
actual control of the islands in
which American interests are so
great, and their virtual surrender
to Great Britain or Japan.-lWash.

A HOT FIGHT.

The fight over the position OF Uni
ted States district attorney for West
Virginia is becoming pretty hot. The
candidates have been Gen. G. G.
Watts, Hon. r. F. Kidd and Hon. j.
B. Sommerville Gen. Watts, who is
a perennial Office holder, had the place
under Mr.. Cleveland's first admins
tration and has, we believe, the en-
dorsement of the Senators and Con
gressmen from this State, though it is
generally believed he is really not
greatly beloved of them. Mr.. Kidd
recently came into the fight, but sud
denly withdrew in favor Of General
Watts, in whose behalf he wrote a
strong letter to the President. Upon
the appearance Of this letter Mr..
Sommerville also wrote a letter, in
which he said that Mr.. Kidd had
promised to withdraw in his favor,
and had gone so far As TO recommend
him to the President, incidentally re-
ferriLg in most uncompllmentary
terms to General Watts. Mr.. Kidd
hos nothing to say on the subject, but
he is believed to be not altogether
comfortable in his straddling perform
ance. Just what the outcome will be
it is impossible to tell. We believe,
however, that Mr.. Sommervillc is the
choice OF the people Of the State by
considerable majority, for there is an
intensely strong feeling against per-
petuating what has been termed the
Office holding dynasty. Gen. Watts
has had Office for 10, these many
years 1t is not just the thing to put
him in place and turn down Demo
Gratis OF greater ability and worth.
Mr.. Sommervile is as well qualified
for the position as any man in the
State, and his services to the party
entities him to recognition.

THE DEMOCRATS ARE KICKING.

We think it advisable for the Sena-
tors and Congressman from West Vir-
ginia to 60 TO some pains to ascertain
something Of the public sentiment in
West Virginia concerning the dispo-
sition OF the offices. They should get
this information from the people
not from the office seekers. The of
fee seekers are all in some political
combination that prevents them
from giving unbiased information,
and what they would have to say
would be colored by the effect upon
their own prospects.
Take just one instance. There is a
ground swell of Indignation agsinst
the endorsement OF Mr.. JOS. s. Miller
for commissioner Of internal revenue
that Senators nor Congressman nor
anyone else can afford TO ignore. AS
the Parkersburg Sentinel says, Mr..
Miller is political drone. He Is
never heard from except when the
offices are being distributed. He has
been at the public crib ever since he
was of age, always holding fat job.
What has he ever done for his party
Where has he been during the past
four years! His voice was not heard
in West Virginia until the fight was
over and the prizes ready to be given
ont Now he receives the unanimous
endorsement OF the West Virginia
delegation in Congress. As we uh-
derstand the matter, the President
signified his desire to appoint Mr..
Miller to his old place. AT once our
Senators and Congressman endorsed
him. Instead of naming West Vir-
ginia's wants, they allowed the Pres
ident to dictate the candidate.
If Mr.. Cleveland wished to appoint
Mir. Miller he should have been re-
ouired to do so upon his own respon-
sibility. The endorsement of Mr..
Miller by the party leaders is intense
lv distasteful to the Democrats OF the
State. They are kicking hard-and
so they should. There's precious lit
tie encouragement in working for the
party when the rewards are reserved
for the do.nothings. Mr.. Miller is
doubtless a man Of ability, but his
fitness for the Office is not SO great
that he should be chosen above every
other man in the party. We have
plenty of men III the State who can
fill the position quite as well as he
can.
AS before remarked our represen-
tatives at Washington will do well to
ascertain the feeling among the Dem
ocrats in West Virginia-snd act &C
cordingly.

Thou art gone, dear brother, to the realms
above,
Where all is comfort, Joy and love,
Where kindred friends have gone before
To live immortal forevermore.
We miss your greeting nj early morn,
Your manly love that knew no scorn;
We miss your smiles at eventde,
Your joyful face and manly pride.
Sorry and sad that thou hast left us;
But God alone, He has bereft us
OF some OF our dearest earthly ties,
To take them home beyond the skies
Where sin and sorrow meier penetrate
In home inside the eternal gate,
Where we some day Will join the throng,
To ming e in hosaunas aud angelic cong.
Deaths cruel dart may strike us unawares.
Think not of sorrow or OF cares;
But think in time, before the Christening rod
Calls you TO your reward and God.
Our brother we know has gone to heaven.
Where only sweet peace can eer be given;
He has DO world cares, his troubles Ger
In eCstacy he'll dwell evermore.

Bio Fire at Cumberland.

While high wind was blowing
Tuesday evening fire broke out in
Cumberland, Md, in the warerooms
of the Cumberland Hardware Com
pany. The wareroom was a frame
building, and was surrounded by
several Business houses on Mechanic
street, besides being just back of one
of the principal business blocks on
Baltimore street. The flames spread
with fearful rapidity and the sur
rounding buildings were soon on fire.
The new building OF the New York
Clothing Company, on Baltimore
street. was the first TO catch. Next
were the stores of j. I. Greenfield, j.
L. herman, II. l.. Coulehau, Charles
White, d. K. Kean and j. L. Stern,
on Baltimore street, and the residence
OF Frances Laing, hotel of John Cor
man aud two saloons and restaurants
on Mechanic street.
Tive volunteer fire company with a
limited supply Of hose and apparatus
fought nobly the raging flames which
at one time threatened TO wipe out
the city. For three hours the fire
was uncomfortable, and famed by a
fierce wind, quickly consumed every
building it touched. AT II o'clock
the fire was under control, the vol
unteers having succeeded in sur
rounding it.
Scarcely had the Baltimore street
fir broken out, when another WAS
discovered in the southern portion of
the city. As all of the fire apparatus
was in service at Baltimore street,
the other fire was left go unattended
for time until some hose aud q hand
engine could be sent there. Seven
frame dwellings were destroyed at
this fire. AT the same time n fire was
raging in the mountain north Of the
city.
When it was found that the fire
was beyond control dispatches were
sent TO Bedford, Martinsburs, Pitts
burg, Washington and other cities ask
ing tor help At 91i Chief Paris, of
the Washington fire department. left

THIS administration is pla wing hav-
oc with some OF the government fos-
sils in Washington. Men who have
held Office for twenty or thirty years
are being rudely awakened to the
fact that their positions are not for
life, after all. and when it is found
that they are inefficient they are re-
moved just like ordinary individuals.
There is considerable class of per-
sons Of this sort at the national CAPT
tol, who have been placed in Office
and retained there by political infu-
ence with no regard for fitness or
ability There is no reason to pension
them upon the government, and it is
we'll TO clear them out.

AS the facts are coming to light
there is no wonder that the last Re-
publican administration left the
Treasury in such bad condition. 1t
is simply startling the way the money
was squandered. Mr. John w. Eos
ter, a professional lobbyist who was
made Secretary Of State by President
Harrison, not only feathered his own
nest mighty well but enriched his
friends besides In the case of the
Boring sea commission he allowed
himself rs agent and each Of the CON-
missioners S10,00Glor services. Sena-
tor Morgan and Justice Harlan were
allowed S12, 900 each. Elijah Halford,
who was made a paymaster in the
army by President Harrison just be
fore he went out of Office, gets fifteen
dollars a day and travelling expenses,
besides his regular pay as major in
the army and communication of quarters
and rations. j. Stanley Brown, an
other party favorite, was appointed
an expert on seal fisheries and seal
life, when he probably couldn't tell a
seal from hump back whale. But
he gets fifteen dollars a day for his
labor on the commission, ten dollars
a day more as an investigator OF seal
life for the Treasury Department,
and his travelling expenses besides.
In all, ]. Stanley draws the snug sum
OF S25 day, expenses and, doubtless,
perquisites. The other officials on
the commission are provided for on
the same liberal scale.
It's a wonder the Treasury stood
the strain Of a Republican admins
tration as long as it did.

THE Secretary Of the Treasury con.
tinues his good work OF shaking up
the dry bones. He has ordered the
preparation of list of the employees
of the Treasury Department, with
the salaries they receive and the State
from which they were appointed.
He will endeayor to do justice to each
State by appOrtioning the offices as
fairly as possible The District OF
Columbia is credited with more than
1000 out of 1000 employees, when its
quota, it is stated, should only be
eleven persons. Secretary Carlisle, it
is understood, intends 10y every means
in his power TO reduce the District of
Columbia list Of employees, that the
States may receive their proper quota
of appointments.
