THE B

The message on the Hawaiian ques-
ton Is of interest only from that point
In the story where the Instructions to
Minister Willis are made public. These
instructions show that the President felt
It his duty to put affairs at Honolulu
back into the position they were In
when Minister Stevens overthrow the
then existing Government. In other
words, the speculative Government Com
mission was to retire and the Queen to
go back to her ~opera-bouffe throne pro-
vided she would promise to extend COM
plete amnesty to all concerned in her
temporary overthrow and provided the
Stevens Government Committee would
step peaceably out.
This Is just the point where opposition
to Mr.. Cleveland's policy begins. His ac-
ton has been honorable, and prompted
by a strict sense Of Justice and right, no
doubt. Our Government was clearly In
the wrong. But the American people
cannot relish any proposition to put the
black Queen back on her throne, to re-
establish a monarchy there under exist
Ing circumstances, and they would rather
shut their eyes to the long-hatched Ste
vens conspiracy Than make such condi-
lions as Mr.. Cleveland proposes. This
may be unjust, but 1t is American and
human nature after all.
The popular feeling seems TO be in
favor Of letting affairs in Hawaii work
out their own destiny; Of reorganlzing
as far as necessary the sham of a Gov
eminent in existence when Mr.. Cleveland
entered the Presidency last March, and
Of taking care to be ready to protect
American interests and American clti-
gems II there should be any fighting be-
tween the deposed Queens party and the
e lf-constituted "Provisionals."
The Presidents plan Of settlement
failed because It seems that neither the
Queen nor the Stevens Committee would
agree to It's condition. 1t now remains
to be seeen what disposition will be made
Of the matter by Congress.

A MODEL BOSS.

DR.. Chauncey M. Depew would make
n picturesque and pleasing head of the
Republican organization In this city
and county. The meetings of the Com
mittee would be attractive II only in
expectation OF the good jokes the Presi-
dent might get of, and In the hope
that something would occur to draw
from him an extended speech.
But will Mr.. Depew accept? Can he
run a railroad and a political machine
at one and the same time? VIII not the
duties of guarding against collisions on
the road and in the Committee be too
much even for his well-known admins

NJ IN MINsTRELsY.

Brooklyn society women are going to
give a minstrel show. They will black
up and tell gags and sing all kinds of
comic songs for charity. 1t is well
known that woman Is naturally gifted
for this kind OF mummery, and that
she can shake the moss off dull care
and drive the blues through a two
inch plank by the inimitable way she
rattles the bones and toys with the
tambourlne.
We are afraid. though, that these
Brooklyn ladies' will not be laughed at
as heartily IL they should. When Mrs.

Margaret Boyle Tells a Pathetic
Story When Arrested.

Margaret Boyle. of $3.50 West Forty
fourth street, was a prisoner In the JEFF
ferson Market Cour this morning.
Bella Goldman, an employee Of Enrich
Brothers. was preparing to cav the
store at 1890 o'clock last night. There
were a few customers scattered through
the place. and as Miss Goldman turned
her back she felt a tug at a satchel
hanging at her side.
She saw a woman walking hurriedly to
the elevator. and looking down, saw that
her pocketbook, containing $6 and odd
cents, was missing. She followed the
woman and saw her take the none out

"OlD lkvEN DER.''

The revival of "old Lavender. at
Harrigan's Theatre last night reminded
us that our popular actor-author-mana-
ger can be melodramatic as well as
farcical, and that although we have not
seen much of him OF late In the Hence
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES form
of entertainment, It was In melodrama
that some of his best successes were
achieved.
In "old Lavender Harrigan gives us
a consistent. we~ll-drawn. deity shaded
character sketch. one in colors OF as
fine a quality as could possibly be de-
sired. II George Coggswell, otherwise
Old Law, gets to be a bore before the
evening Is over 1t is simply because
Harrigan is telling the truth about him.
There are Just such b~eer-soaked bores In
everyday life-preachy, ~dlscursive, aTo-
matic-and one meets them far too fire.
quently. At least I do. They b~uttonhole
any one who has the reputation of being
a good listener and make his life a
misery. Harrigan's Old Lavender is
wonderfully true. Whenever he becomes
a nuisance the truth becomes more con-
%spicuous. 1t is an unpleasant part, al
though Harrigan probably thinks that
he has the sympathy Of the audience
because he gives his unkind brother
$780, 900 at a moments notice. and rescues
a damp woman from death. Lavender's
Pecksnifian talk, his sudden plunge into
the disreputable and his general grimi-
ness do not inspire sympathy.
Harrigan is on the stage all the time.
and non of Mr.. Abbey's songsters labor
more a~rduously han he. When he isn't
talking he is singing, and his voice is
In a wonderful state Of preservation.
Dave Braham's songs introduced into
'Old Lavender" have none Of the
catchy" characteristics of his other
compositions. They are tame, and they
sound like Braham tired out. More
over, 1t seems odd in melodrama to
hear the same sort of choruses hat
are used in Harrigan's farcical efforts.
The cast was. as usual. exceedingly
good, although nobody had many op-
portunities. Mrs. Yeamans. as the deaf
old sailors clearinghouse keeper, was
admirable in the small part she was
called upon to interpret, and Johnny
Wild vas as vigorously vociferous as
ever. James B.. Radcliffe. George Mer-
rift. Dan Burke and Richard Quilter
were all good. The heavy villain. John
c. Dixon, suggested the cheap miscreant
of such plays as THE Power of Gold
and THE Span of Life" He had the
usual air Of oily ~malevolence, although
he did not wear kid gloves or smoke
a cigarette. However, what's the use OF
analysing anything at Harrigan's Thea
tire. Everything goes there. and every
thing deserves to go. as long as we havt

and Johnny Wild doing their pas d,
quatre before audiences who ador,

Rescue Homes for Girls.

To the Editor:
believe that Mr.. Parkhurst is doing some good
in this city by compelling the police to do their
duty. and the only drawback to his way is that
he evlets these poor girls from their homes and
does not provide places for them to go to.
A largs number OF the girls turned into the
streets by the police don't live the way they do
from choice, but are turned out OF the house by
a drunken father or mother because they could
not obtain work. and so rather than starve they
live q life OF immortality.
think a good plan would be to set up q Sal
.p1ts.R Army Rescue Home, and as soon as these
poor girls are turned adrift they could. II they
wished. 20 to this Rescue Home and try to lead
better lives
Mr.. Parkhurst should. in my judgment, make
this proposition to the Ialvation Army and sup
ply part Of the means. The Salvation Army 10 do
ing It without Mr., Parkhurst's aid at the pres
ent times. but they have not started enough homes.
for the reason, l suppose, that they don't want
to spend ali the money on one city when there
are 90 many to look after. I hope this will catch
Mr.. Parkhurst's eye. and that he will adopt the
suggestions I am trying to convey in my note.
