A NEW ANNExATloNzPRoJEcr.

a "O" <AN NN 6A0 AAON NOS 0N !:
A new live question has suddenly
thrust itself on our government, name
", the acceptance Of the. Hawaiian
Islands, 40 territory Of tho United
States, 1t the request Of the d. facso
government now ruling the same.
Since tho overthrow Of the slave
oligarchy ~ have had no schemes
to reach out the projecting arm OF our
government to any Ut the islands Of
the sea, and no request that We should
do 80 in IN any case, WAS anticipated.
It has been understood, i, however, thst
the European AID American residents
If these Islands were by no.means oop.
tent under the IiRhtened and mar.
row policy Of the reiKning Queen, but
the discomfort ripened into revolution
quite suddenly, and the former Queen
is herself only q subject OF govern
~ent. which for the present: is merely
provisional. :,
The new organization is evidently
not >quiteszsure Of its footinS, sillerat
home o. abro.d ~ the appeal seema. q
be for tho UniteifSlxtes TO govern thu
Islands as it governs its territories
white they are maturing their strength,
to assume the dignity Of st.tehood.
The opposition to the Queen, unfor-
tunately, seems to consist Of white
people, and the natives seem to have
no share in the revolution. The new
government is afraid to assume to be
an independent republic. as the native
votes would soon overpower the white
element, whose property interests need
protection.
The fact that this proposition comes
in the expiring days Of the present
Administration, and demands imme-
diate sction, with no opportunity fol
the incoming Administration to indi-
cate officially its opinion of it, is Of
itself IN embarrassment.
The Pacific States will be unanimous
and urgent for the United States tO rs.
sumo this protectOrate. Such a pro-
tectcrate would mean peace to the
Islands. II the United States declines
this responsibility the Queens dornin.
ion may be resumed, aud, after what
has taken place, that would mean ex.
clusion of the white people, both Eu-
ropean and American, from the Is-
lands. The trade of the Hawaiian peo.
pie is quite important t" this country.
Hence the prospect is that with the
common consent of the Union," the
Hawaiian Islands will come nndpr our
flag, perhaps before President Harrison
gives up the Executive chair to lis
successor.

HON. JAMES G. BLAINE.

The great American statesman,
James &. Blaine. was laid to rest Oh
Monday OF this week ut Washington.
Few men In public life we're ever re-
gsrded with such sincere affection, and
such hearty appreciation 40 this great
statesman. He had both intrllect and
heart. He was conscious of powers,
and he used them we'll. He endured
. the penalty sll highly endowed natures
must for the privilege OF rendering
public service, the spite of jealous
rivals. Among the rivals of Mr..
Blaine the most conspicu0us was Hon.
Roscoe C0nklinR, also man Of emin-
ont ability. But ConkIing carried
with him no suci, tribute Ut popular
affection III did Mr.: Blaine. Tile latter
had greater real strength rnd far less
vanity than Mr.. Conkling. Mr.. Blaine
always hsd to underg" \ great deal Of
misrepresentation. Bot men like Blaine.
ssd hailse ~ always treated thus, In
every ago, and under every system Of
government. The service Of Mir. Blaine
had not the glitter of fame which
soidierly leadership calls forth, but his
vocstiou-thst Of legislative aud di-
plomstic leadersl'ip-was quite as
needful rs the sword OF the conqueror
aud defender. 1t 10 to be regretted
that Mr.. Blaine did not live long
enough to write his experience of pub
lie life TO it, finish. Yet we'prize his
memory for what he did write in his
''Twenty Years in Congress. 1t is
with sorrow rs ~ell ~ reverence, that
we estand, with uncovered heads, watch
ing the retrexting forms Of 30 many
public leaders into the thick darkness
Of tho silent land. J ~

A FEMALE ENGINEER.

She Has Successfully Run An Engine for
Three Years.
To sec 4 woman running an engine in
real life is q genuine novelty. Tho fair
sex occasionally run engines in novels,
on tho stage and SO on, .but-n real. live
female cnginccr is new sensation. OF
course this ono is in Chicago, and of
course she is young and pretty. They
always are. The romance of the case is,
however, cut out by the cold-bloodcd
announcement that she is not doing it
to save husband, lover or fathers life
Or liberty. She is purely mercenary.
Tho stipend drawn at the end of each
week is all that she is after. Her name
is not known. Perhaps this is where
tho romantic part comes in. Perhaps
otherwise. Be this or that as it may,
she is flesh and blood reality. When
q reporter for the Chicago Herald called
at tho place where this novelty works
hc stated his business to young lady
clerk, and asked to see the woman who
runs the engine.
"A lady is our engineer" Uttered the
clerk, ''but she is busy and can't see any
reporters"
Can she be SEEM" was asked.
No." was the answer. ''She will see
no one. unless it is an examiner of en-
gincers, and then she will be found
ready and anxious to answer all ques-
tions."
The lady engineer, as she is styled,
has had charge of tho Bee Hive laun-
dry cngino for about three years, during
which time she had no trouble and has
apparently been we'll able to attend to
all the duties devolving upon her.
Her principal claim for competency.
however, is that she has taken her
cngino apart and placed it together
again without seriously damaging its
component parts or detracting from its
power. Questions to be propounded to
her by the reporter were furnished by
an engineer, but she declined to answer
any questions at all unless they came
from tho board of engineers. These
queries were regarding her knowledge
Of how to figure on her safety valve,
her boilers horsepower and her en-
gine's horsepower. That she can dem
onstrato properly on all these in
tricacios she does not doubt, and is
anxious to have the board Of examiners
pass on her case.
E. C. Dicey, of the board, said in re.
gard to this woman: IF . woman car
successfully pass the required examin
alton there is no law to prevent he,
continuing the practice of engineering
This case will be rigidly looked into
and unless thia 1adv on1ineer can tel
all about an engine she will have t.
give up her position to . competen
engineer"

INDUSTRIAL COOPERATION.

Among the plans suggested by
thoughtful minds for reconciling
labor and capital is one by the Hon.
David Dudley Field. He holds it
to be fundamental to the solution
of the problem that "the hirer and
the hired must agree between
themselves" and hence does not
believe that compulsory arbitration
is feasible. He says: The State
cannot compel the individual citi-
Ecu to take his workmen into any
kind of partnership but it may
compel those to whom it grants
franchises for purposes of profit to
accept the franchises on condition
of giving the workman an interest
in the product. A very great, share
of modern enterprise is undertaken
by corporations. They are the Gre
ations of the state and if they take
grants they must submit to the
terms Of the grantor.''
Mr.. Field proceeds to apply his
theory as follows: LET us imagine
an establishment rs I suggest.
Suppose factory to be chartered,
with capital of a million of dol
lars divided into two hundred
thousand shares of five dollars each,
three-tifths of them to be payable
in cash or property, as at present,
and two-fifths in prospective labor;
the former to be invested in land,
buildings, machinery, and what
ever else may be necessary for
such IN undertaking, and the latter
reserved for such workmen as may
be taken into the concern; the
skilled workmen to be allowed
wages, say, for illustration, at the
highest rates of the market, four
dollars day or more, and the un-
skilled two dollars day, and each
ono to be registered for four hun.
dred shares. If the earnings were
six per cent. on the capital each
skilled workman would be credited
in twelve months, that is to say 70,
800 days work, with $1,000 wages
and $3.50 for profit. Deductine
$500 for his supplies, including
food, clothing and lodging, there
would be left to his credit at the
end of tho year $500, which would
pay for a hundred and sixty-fou1
shares of the stock. In the next
year he would acquire a hundred
and sixty-four additional shares
and in less than three years woulc
have more than paid for all th,
four hundred. The rate of wages
the supplies furnished, the admis
sion and dismissal of share work
ers, and the discipline of the estab
lishment should be vested in all tn,
shareholders, actual or expectant
while the financial department ant
the purchases and sales should b'
in the hands of the cash or proper
ty shareholders. Capital and labo
would thus be brought into close
communion and made to lean OF
each other. To this end the re
quirement of cash or propert
capital would be in part dispense'
with aud instead of it an obligation
to labor accepted The share work
man must have the means of livin
while he is making the price of hi
shares. He must be enabled to liv
a. chsaply as possible, by havin
his supplies furnished at the loves
possible price. He must have fai
wages, and withal reasonable mair
tenanoe and the prospect of better
ing his condition by becoming
participant in the profits of th
combined labor and capital. sBut .

How to Clean Dresses.

Get five cents worth of soap bark
from the druggist about teacupfuL J
For one dress take half OF it and steep
in about one quart Of boiling water
for about half an hour or more, then
strain through cloth.
For a silk dress, while the LIQUID
IS warm, take piece of white fan
mel and dip into it at intervals. and
rub the silk or satin with it till it
seems cleansed. When done, null
the material straight and hang it to
dry. DO not iron either the silk or
satin. If the dress is very much
soiled, use clean liquor to rinse it;
but do not use clear water for silk,
or it will not stiffen up we'll.
Fol a wooden dress, dip the part to
be cleansed. or the whole of it, il
needed, into the liquor. This can be
rlnsed In the same after washing, or
In clean warm water II it is very
dirty put the dress to soak in a tub
In the liquor with more water added
before cleaning or washing. The
WOODEN goods should be pressed until
it is quite dry.
Water in which potatoes have been
boiled will cleanse delicate coIored
wooden or wOrsted goods. The dress
should be wet all over. Use no soap.
Rinse in clear warm water. Press
while still damp. This will not in
Jure the most delicate colOrs.

Why the Leaves Trembled.

While Mr.. Hudson was in Pata.
gonia he became much interested in
a scout by the name of Sosa, who was
famous for the almost preternatural
keenneSS OF his senses In most
other respects he was, as Mr.. Hudson
says, degenerate being. In par
ticular, he was an inventerate horse.
thief--a factwhich was largely over
looked by the authorities on account
Of the exceeding value of his services
in times OF Indian warfare.
In 1861 SOsa had found it prudent
to disappear for a season. and in the
company Of five or six other gauchos
also offenders against the law. who
had fled to the refuge of the desert
ne amused himself by hunting os-
triches along the Rio Colorado.
On the twelfth of March the hunt.
ers were camping beside grove of
willows in the valley, and about 9
O'Clock that evening, while they were
seated about the fire roasting their
ostrich meat, Sosa suddenly spranp
up and held his hand high above his
head for some moments
'There is not a breath of wind"
he said, land yet the leaves of the
trees are trembling What can this
portend?" The other men stared at
the trees but could see no motion.
and began to laugh and jeer at Sosa.
Presently he sat down again. re-
marking that the trembling had
ceased; but for the rest OF the even.
ing he seemed greatly disturbed in
his mind. He remarked repeatedly
that such a thing had never happened
to him before. He could feel a breath
OF wind before the leaves felt it. and
there had been no wind. He feared
it was a sign OF some disaster that
was about to overtake the party.
The disaster was not for them.
On that evening an earthquake oe.
stroyed the distant city of Mendoza.
crushing $4,000 people to death in its
fall. That the subterranean wave
extended east to the Plata and south |
ward into Patagonia was afterward
known; for in the cities of RosarI and
Buenos Ayers clocks stopped, and a
slight shock was experienced in Car.
men on the Rio Negro.

The Confederate ARMY,

Two distinct military organizations
were at first created in the south, re-
spectively known as the regular and
the provisional or volunteer army.
The former belonged to the general
or state government, says Blue and
Gray, the latter was the offspring of
the people. One was intended to be
permanent, the existence of the other
depended on the duration of the war.
In measure, however, the regular
army was merged in the provisional
organization, and its officers, who were
generally graduates of West Point and
other military schools, were trans
ferred to the volunteers and promoted
to high grades. The men were not
unlike those in the regular service in
all civilized nations and We're restrain
ed by the same rigid discipline.
On the other hand, the volunteers
were free and easy lot, who frater-
nized with their officers, and, until the
severer lessons of the war were taught
maintained an equal footing with
them. One day an alteration took
place between a captain and a private.
In the course of the dispute the sub
ordinate made an irritating remark.
when the officer exclaimed: IF YOU
repeat that again will lay down nv
rank and fight YOU" "Lay
down your rank!' was the indignant
response; shat won't make you a gem
tleman. A coward ought to fight with
straps on his shoulders, but it takes a
gentleman to fight for 81 month.
