Pherson and Mr.. Sherman. The latter
characterized it. as be had done the other

bonds, proposition which would also be
wrong from principle. The fear that the
government wonld pay It's certificates In
silver had created distrust. Such propo-
sition would shake the foundation OF the
governments credit. Nobody doubted that
the government was strong. rich. powerful

it was not able to assume new obligations

Senator Cockreil replied to Mr.. sherman
and advocated the the amendment. He
argued that there was no difference In the
government liability between Rreenbacks
and national bank notes. because the
holder of national bank notes could de-
mand RreenbacKs for them. and could then

We hcar q good deal OF vague talk about
an American 'protectorate" over the Ha-
waiian Islands. What Is a protectorate ?
We know what a State is. and what a Ter
ritory Is. but protectorate is n strange
word In the political nomenclature OF the
United States.
As far as we can make out. 1t means that
the United States shall take the RESPONSE
biIity without the power OF governing the
Sandwich Islands. II tho Hawaiians get
into a rumpus with England or Germany or
France or Japan or among themselves. the
United States will do the fighting and pay
the piper. The protectorate seems to be
somewhat too one-sided.
Or Is the United States Government to
pull the strings Of an Hawaiian puppet
show. setting up and pulling down Minis
tries and regulating them with an eye to
the main chance? Is Washington to press
the button on Honolulu just as Downing
Street does for Cairo?
Let US either take Hawaii or leave 1t
alone. The protectorate idea Is bosh. Car
ried out. it would involve US In difficulties
without dignity. 1t would not give Hawaii
the Government she needs. and. worst Of
all. 1t would give to the United States an
impossible role. The protectorate Is not q
form Of government practicable for US.

The Next Harlem Bridge.

We believe that the Department OF Public
Works Is now having borings made In the
Harlem River preparatory 10 building a
bridge at Third avenue, to clear the river
by twenty-four feet. Here is q splendid OPP
portunity to establish tho far-seeing policy
proclaimed by Mayor GILRoY In his In
augural message. Build the new bridge
with a permanent span. instead OF with a
draw. 1t will save $2O0. 900 to the munich
pality In constructions: 1t will avert the
regular charge Of $1,000 or $1,000 annually
for working the draw. and it will add mil
lions to the value Of property south or north
Of the river.
Shaped rs New York Is. long and narrow.
a cross track like the Harlem River Is
like a ligature that chokes the circulation
Of the blood. When We contrast what tho
Harlem does toward increasing the value
Of q certain small area Of property and
what it does in the way OF block
ing the main pathway OF traffic Of
a community Of five millions or more
OF people. the stream appears as in
finitely more OF a curse h a blessing.
Why shouldn't the comparatively trivial
OF the Harlem be regulated with
the same regard to the land travel as the
colossal traffic OF the river Thames ?
There is not a drawbridge over the Thames.

latter part Of March. by which time the fato
of Hawaii may be decided.
Turning now To Admiral HoTHAM's
! squadron, actually OIL the Pacific station.
we find that nt the latest accounts the
greater pnrt OF 1t was still of tho coasts OF
| Chill and Peru. the Warspite, Melpomepe.
Champion. and Pheasant being In South
american waters between Callao and VAL
~paraiso. The Wnrspite Is an armored YES
sci OF $500 tons displacement md
10000 horse power, which gives her 16a4
knots ut the maximum, carrying fourteen
guns md 470 mon. She Ia the only armor-
clad on the station. and tho only vessel
equal TO our Boston. The Melpomene Is Of
1886 tons displacement, and carries six G.
inch guns. The Champion is OF 1850 tons.
has n battery OF four G-inch and eight D.
inch guns, and her complement is 2fS
men. The Pheasant is q gunboat OF 75j
tons, smaller than our Petrol. n hns a
speed OF IS knots or moro. carrying half a
dozen 4-inch guns n rs men.
On the coast OF Mexico, at Acapulco. at
last accounts. was the Garnet. OF 2.l2O tons
and fourteen runs. but OF no great speed. At
Esquimault were the Nymphe. Of LAO tons
and eight 5-inch guns, having about four
teen knots speed and n complement OF Isl
men: and with her was the Hyacinth. OF
1920 tons. 1.19O horse power. and eight guns.
The Daphne. as has been said. was last
heard from as having gone to the Fills.
She is a sister ship OF the Nymphe.
This. then. makes up Admiral HoTHAM's
actual force. and 1t will DO seen that. with
the exception Of the Warspite. 1t is not a
very formidable array. British ships may
be summoned from Chinese waters to Hon.
olulu. as 1t is also possible to call upon
our own Asiatic squadron; or vessels
might be sent from Atlantic waters to Ad-
miral HoTHAM. Just as GHERABDI's squad
ron, on arriving ut Barbados. where 1t is
expected n week hence. could be turned
bnck to reinforce Admiral SKERRETT. But
there is no likelihood that any OF these
movements will be made. The course
probably to be chosen as most judicious
is that OF using only existing forces in the
Pacific ut the present stage OF affairs. and
simply as fleets OF observation. From the
facts just stated 1t will be seen that there
is nothing to create uneasiness in the
strength OF the available British squadron.

Cowardly Counsels.

Very naturally the Evening Post argues
against the annexation OF the Hawaiian
Islands. That Mugwump organ is always
opposed to any policy or procedure which
expresses the American national sentiment
and tends to strengthen 1t.
The main ground OF this Mugwump's
opposition is that by listening TO the
HRwalians and taking tho Sandwich Islands
into our political system We should provoke
foreign discomfort and jealousy. ut is
not likely that any power would do more
than protest against our annexing the ISL
ands." says the EreninO Post. Yet the good
will OF foreign powers is itself n valuable
possession, and should DO taken into ac-
count in every transaction OF magnitude"
II the American people had listened to
such coward!y counsols In the past. the
Unitod States would now DO a { dependency
Of Great Britain. From the foundation Of
this republic until now we have had
to get along without the good will
Of England. Because OF England's ill
will we have had to fight two wars with
that foreign power. Wo had to contend
against 1t during our civil war. and tho
whole historyo Of the United States has been
marked by diplomatic controversies to
which it gave rise.
The respect rather than the good will OF
foreign powers is what we want. Whether
thoy like our way Of proceeding in the de-
~velopment Of the strength and dominance
Of this republic In America is a matter OF
ho account. We must pursue our natural
career as it seems best to us: and the
greater our courage and determination in
the pursuit the loss probable is it that they
will undertake to Interfere with us.
Tho question OF the annexation OF the
Hawaiian Islands is purely m American
question. and the sentiment Of foreign
powers regarding 1t. whether OF good will
or i'll will. does not concern us. and cannot
influence the decision to which we shall
come. Only IN exhibition Of such timldity
IS the Evening Post displays could induce
them to run the risk OF serious opposition.

The law of b

We have inclined somewhat favorably In
the past to some OF the changes that have
been proposed in the existing libel laws OF
this State. As we have continued, however.
to reflect upon the ~transmutations that
late years have wrought in the conduct Of
certain newspapers in this town and else
where. We have reluctantly reached the
conviction that it will not do to relax the
severity Of the law Of libel.
SO long as newspapers evince a tendency
to construe liberty into license. to disre-
gard tho sanctity Of private life. to attack
the rights OF property. to foster anarchy.
and to foment sedition and disorder. the law
OF libel had better be made more stern and
restrictive rather thar less SO.

In truth. VIcToEIA's conduct seems to have

SONS was otherwise.
What was the cause OF the I.aureats's mental
confusion when he beheld the Queen OF the

Tin was when the monarch OF England
bore the title OF Our Dread Sovereign" but
that time Is past. and Queen VICTORIA bears
no title that is designed to inspire her subjects
with dread. There was no reason. therefore.
why TENSYsoN should lose his head when he
went to Osborne. He might have paid all due
homage to the majesty OF England while yet
retaining his reason.
1t is with dignity. it is with zeal and gentle
ness. with bravery. meekness. and self-com-
mand. that Americans pay homage to woman
hood. tho glory Of the world!
