Monarchy is dead in Hawaii Dead as
the traditional door-nail Dead in spite of
the shallow friendship of Paramount Com
missioner Blount, the support of Secretary
Gresham and the ardent efforts of Presi-
dent Cleveland. Prior to the arrival yester-
day of the steamer Arawa. 1t was feared by
the stxty-five millions of anti-royaltsts who
reside in the United States that either by
hints or threats. or even an actual display
OF force. Minister Willis had succeeded in
carrying out the instructions given him by
President Cleveland. and that the provi-
sional government was no more But all
ground for fear has now been removed and
unless Minister Willts makes actual war
upon the powers cow in control OF the ISL
anus there will not be much, If any, of ser
ious trouble. In full possession OF the gov
eminent buildings and records and with a
weL-armed and determined force at their
command, President Dole and his associ-
ates are undoubtedly able to make good
their promises of independence. Should they
De called upon to defend the cause of NOR
aIty, decency and civilization against the
assaults OF Cleveland-su 2ported sayagery
they viii have such sympathy and practical
assistance from America as would naturally
be expected of this people. Offers of the
services Of several thousand volunteers
made TO President Dole from the Pacific
coast. while not accepted because the pro-
Visional government does not need outside
assistance to sustain itself, indicate unmis-
takaely that it is only the executive of the
republic and not the republic itself which
seeks to overthrow good government and
restore savage royalty in Hawaii

1t may be that by this time the promoters

II may be that by this time the promoters
of wirter-racing who have planned to de-
moralize Washington by locating them
selves at Ivy City are aware of the fact
that Washington and Gloucester do not re-
semble each other In any way; that the
law here Is live something to which
decency never appeals In vain. But the
bookmakers and the other varieties of pro-
fessional gambler are not to be the only
objects of legal and moral missiles. those
who patronize will also be arrested and
brought to trial That there is ample law
for such procedure Is most gratifying and
It is hoped by the great majority of the peo-
pie who reside In this city that the statutes
may be so operated as to put an effective
and final stop to such alleged racing as
Is ON the Engernann program. A careful
survey has determined that the greater
part of the track and grounds is within
one mile of the city limits. and the act
of Coz gress, which was approved March 2.
1881. m axes II unlawful for any person

Columbia. within one mile of the boundaries
OF the cities Of Washington and George
town. to bet. gamble or make books or pools
on the result of any trotting or running
race of horses" District Attorney Birney is
fully justified in notifying the police that an
infraction of the law is contemplated and
should be attended to. Spasms of virtue in
other portions Of the country have resulted
in the arrest and almost immediate release
of law-breaking bookmakers. but the fights
have generally been brief. We do things
differently here. The bookma&er and the
bettor will be hauled in not only on one
day. but on as many days as they transgress
Col Moore will see to that He will have a
sufficient force of officers on hand and will
know that none OF them are In sympathy
with those for whose repression they are
engaged and paid. There is good and suffi-
Gent reason for believing that the way of
the race track transgressor in the District
OF Columbia is going to be especially hard
this winter

Two or three recent railway catastro-
Plies, fortunately OF the minor sort, have d.
rected public attention to the fact that the
use Of coal stoves for heating purposes and
oil as an illuminant Is still INDUCED in by
ancient and mossbacked corporations, to
which the safety of passengers is appar-
entity a minor consideration. Public senti-
ment should be strong enough to work the
necessary reform, but the trouble about
public sentiment Is its failure to declare
itself until some frightful combination Of
collision or derailment and conhagration
arouses general indignation. The Pullman
and Wagner companies-worried over even
the small quantity of oil used for cooking
purposes in their buffet oars-have complete
ly banished the dangerous fluid and will In
future do their cooking with gas, thus re-
moving every element of danger that can
possibly be gotten rid Of. The public should
insist strenuously upon the universal adop-
ton of every safeguard. and the time to
insist is in advance Of and not after q great
railroad horror.

The Commissioner of Immigration-who
probably Is not in need of a stirring up-
would do well to be especially watchful Just
now. In all the European countries there is
at this time strong governmental effort to
get rid OF all anarchists and anarchistic
sympathizers. France is expelling the MUIR
deroas disturoers at a great rate, and, as
their movements will be closely watched so
long as they remain either on the continent
or In Great Britain, it is probable that they
will turn their faces westward and seek
shelter in the United States To this none
or the European powers will offer the least
objection: they have been dumping their
reruse upon this country for many years
and will continue to do il so long as we offer
no protest and take no obstructive meas
ures- We have too many anarchists here
now-most of them imported. Two or three
nave become governors of states, a few-too
few-have been hanged, some are In iail. the
others are unmitigated nuisances, who need
suppression as badly as they do baths and
clean clothing Keep the European anarch-
list out

If men would only profit by the expert
ences Of others very many serious plumbers
that have brought unnecessary suffering in
to existence would never have been heard
or But there Is too much of perverseness
in human nature and too much self-conf-
dence. The man Of today il 30 easily salts
fed that he can succeed where others have
failed ignominiousiy. so certaiA of his
superiority over adverse circumstances, that
he is frequently deaf to friendly warning.
When the Lancashire coal miners were
about to go out on strike 1t was evident to
onlookers that failure was assured. but the
strike leaders would not see the truth. 50
the struggle commenced. For sixteen weeks
more than a million miners were purposely
idle, and then they returned to their en-
ployment on the terms to which they had
for nearly four months objected strenuously.
1t has been copseryatively estimated that
the workmen lost over ninety-one millions
Of dollars, while the mine owners, iron
masters and railroads lost about sixty eight
millions. There may be some satisfaction to
ness caused their employers great loss. but
the qualification could only have been of
the empty sort, for the strike did not bring
starvation to the employers homes, as it
did to the cottages of nearly three hundred
thousand strikers. There is a lesson in the
combat and its consequences, but those who
are most interested will heed 1t least.
