that he outranked minister who repre-
sented merely nation and not mon
arch, but stood for my rights and re-

Here the religion of precedence is not

KEY TO the dominion of the American
Pacific demands their neutrality, to
which end it will earnestly cooperate
with the native government. And if
through any cause the maintenance of
such a position of neutrality should be
found by Hawaii to be impracticable,
this government would then unhesita-
tinglv meet the altered situation by
seeking an avowedly American solution
for the grave issues presented.
The time foreseen by Mr.. Blaine has
come Neutrality is no longer possible
for Hawaii Some greater power must
control this invaluable maritime strong
hold, whose possession guarantees the
domination of the North Pacific. Great
Britain, with her Gordon of fortified
outposts menacing the United States on
every side, is eagerly covetous of the
prize. 1t must not be permitted to fall
into the hands. that have girdled the
earth with British fortresses. The only
solution of the Hawaiian problem to
which the people and government OF
this country can consent is an "Ameri-
can solution" solution that will plant
the Stars and Stripes at Honolulu for all
the time; that will extend the firm pro-
lection of the American people over the
archipelago that is our natural outpost
in the Pacific; that will assure to the
commanding American commerce OF
the future the indispensable advantages
of a naval and mercantile station in
Hawaii.
Only three days ago the premier
American of his time was borne to his
grave. The nation that mourns him,
the people to whom has come fuller
realization of the greatness Of his
services and the intensity of his patriot
ism, will not forget the prophetic words
of James G. Blaine Hawaii can not
remain independent. 1t must not be-
come British. Either by formal pro-
tectorate or direct annexation the United
States Government will bring Hawaii
within the jurisdiction of this Republic;
and Neither protest nor threat from any
foreign power will cause it to deviate
| from the course marked out by American
honor and American rights.

A Bright Horse and a Clever Dog.

Few telegraphers are better known in
New York than George Mudgett. of the
postal Office, and there are fewer still
who have better fund of stories. He
tells of certain horse who accompanies

This horse can see broken insulator
quicker than his rider, and always stops
when one is reached. 1t is hardly neces-
sary to add that the horse can telegraph
with his feet, but no one knows what
he ''signs." The same lineman owns a
dog who can tell by the bell attached to
the district messenger register when a
certain firm rings a call. The dog at
once runs to the store, takes the message
in his mouth and delivers it safely at
the telegraph Office. George Mudgett

Notes About Allirators.

There is nothing that gator likes bet
ter than fresh pork, and he will toddle
three miles from water for Florida
razorback. In cool weather he buries
himself in mud and becomes dormant
until it grows warm. Hunters still make
a living by killing him for his hide and
teeth. The killing of alligators from the
decks of river steamers in Florida has
been stopped by law. Tourists became
very careless in their use of firearms, and
would endanger the lives of passengers
in their haste to get shot before the
boat got by plump saurian. Yet it is
remarkable that only one person, a
woman. was ever wounded in these
reckless fusillades.-N York Sun.

Can AMERIcAN SOLUTION. "

New York Press.
Like the other great. statesmen who
preceded him in the office of Secretary of
State, James G. Blaine thoroughly un-
derstood the supreme Importance of
keeping the Hawaiian Islands free from
European control. His official utter
ances in regard to this matter were not
less clear and unmistakable than those
of Daniel Webster, William L. Marcy,
aad Hamilton Fish, in their positive
assertion of the paramount rights of the
United States. In a dispatch to Mr..
Comfy, the American Minister to Ha-
waii, bearing the date December l, 1881,
Mr.. Blaine, in his capacity of Secretary
of State, outlined the position of the
United States Government in the follow
ing words:
The United States was one of the first
among the great nations of the world to
take an active interest in the upbuilding
of Hawaiian independence and the Gre
alton of new and potential life for its
people. 1t has consistently endeavored,
and with success, to enlarge the mater
ial prosperity of Hawaii on such indie
pendent basis. 1t proposes to be equal
ly unremitting in its efforts hereafter to
maintain and develope the advantages
which have accrued to Hawaii, and to
draw closer the ties which imperatively
unite it to the great body of American
commonwealth. In this line of action
the United States does its simple duty.
both to Hawaii and itself, and it can not
permit such obvious neglect of national
interest as would be involved by silent
acquiesence in any movement looking
to lessening of those American ties
and the substitution of alien and hostile
interests. 1t firmly believes that the

A wild exhilaration thrilled him. He

"She loves me, she loves me-" was the
thought that chased madly through his

"Else why does she thus speak to
me?" he argued with his faint doubts.
Asin a dream he sought the conserv-

majesty the lily at her side.
A smile Illuminated her glorious
countenance.
