Certainly no man here has any right to
hold him up as such an object without his
consent. No man. or body OF men, in Chi
cago or elsewhere. has his authority for
issuing an address to the public asking sub
scriptions to fund for his relief. The mon
who have given notice Of their purpose to
do SO have taken liberty with his name
which he has never empowered them to
take, and which he must always associate
with memories that cannot be pleasant to
recall, and which will not rebound TO his
credit in that eminent land OF which he Is
native and resident. He still holds his In
herited estate in Spain; no still draws Its
revenues; he is still a beneficiary Of the
royal Government; he is still the posscssor
OF very valuable effects that can be turned
into money; he must still have q stand

or France. 1t is possible that the accounts
OF his pecuniary straits sent to this
country and proclaimed from the house.

abroad by his best friends.
We must trust. therefore. that the
address to the American public which
is now in the hands Of President PALMER Of
the Chicago Exposition will not be issued.
and that the books Of the vERAauA relief
fund will not be opened until the Duke has
been heard from. The project. as 1t now
stands. is little short Of an insult to him.
When he himself sends here an appeal for
pecuniary assistance. or authorizes the pub
lication Of such an appeal. 1t will be time
enough for us to take account Of the case.

ant Of CHRIsToPHER COLUMBUS.

The consolidation OF the single-vote States

quire time and encounter difficulty. because
in the case OF some principalitles the
feelings and interests OF the inhabitants

Prussia to the sturdy maintenance OF their
autonomy. 1t would not be necessary. how
ever to wait for the complete organization
OF tho single-vote States In order to turn
their privileges in tho Bundesrath to ac-
count against tho centralizing policy OF
Prussia. The value OF one OF these privi-
leges. considered as lever OF public opin-
ion. has not yet been recognized in practice.

BIsMARcKs speech. We refer to the right
possessed by every member OF tho Bundles
rath to be present and to speak at the
sessions OF the Reichstag. In the hands of
a man like BISMARCK such power Of inter-
position by personal influence and utter
ance might have been tremendous factor
In the debates on the Army bill in the last
Reichstag. and might sufflce to turn the
scale on many closely contested questions.
even In the present Relchstag. where the
Government Is relatively stronger. We

invited to carry out his programme In the

The Sun proposes that oil persons who are in

This suggestion is the most sensible idea
that has yet been advanced in connection with

appeals directly to the conscient iousnoss and
patriotism Of pensioners who are pecuniarily
able to do without their pension money. II

We Reject the Imputation.

We copy conspicuously this morning
Q manifesto respecting Mr.. CLEvELAND's
health and political Intentions. put forth In
the leading column OF the Philadelphia
Ledger OF Monday last. The statement is
Mighty interesting In itself. and when we
remember that the Ledger has once or
twice served rs n medium OF popular COM
municatlon between the White House and
the public, 1t becomes important rs well
as interesting; yet. at the same time.
we are led to doubt the authenticity and
the authority OF some OF the assertions
made with such gravity by our philan.
thropIo and non-partisan contemporary.
In the first place. familiar as we are
with the jealousy and repugnance which
n won't to prevail between Presi-
dents and Presidents. we cannot be-
lieve that Mr.. CLEVELAND can have
uttered the doubts and aspersions cast
upon Vice-President STEVENSON in the
Ledper's publication. Mr.. CLEVELAND
seems to us too cautious a man to give ex-
preston to such suspicious and unkindly
criticisms concerning tho second officer
Of the Government. They road much more
like the interpretations Of reporter than
the ideas of the man whose say
ings the reader is expected to take them
for. On behalf OF President CLEVELAND
we reject decisively this part Of the mani
fssto. It Ia not his. 1t may contain some
Of the thoughts Of Mr.. CH1LDs; tits not the
thought Of Mr.. CLEVELAND.
In tho same way We reject that part
OF tho manifesto which processes to
state Mr.. CLEvEIAND's views upon the
tariff question, and especially that
~ ~L kA~th Nnn 70 hip,
marked by Incorporating hostility to
the Chicago platform. Tho introduction OF
the phrase free trade" in this part OF
the manifesto also bears the stamp OF
o newspaper writer used to the
manipulation Of words. and not the
stamp OF careful thinker and states
man. bent solely upon the sincere dec
laration Of ideas. There is nothing about
free trade In the Chicago platform. The
theory OF tariff for revenue only.
which that platform maintains, does not
contemplate free trade or promise free
trade. All thatit pledges the Democracy to
realize Is the abolition OF protection. which 1t
denounces as unconstitutional: and with
that It promises the levying Of duties for
the sole purpose OF supplying the needs
Of the Treasury. But the Public Ledger.
an organ OF pennsylvania notions and
policies. naturally does not apprehend this
distinction. and goes on talking about free
trade Just as II the voters had not settled
the question when Mr.. CLEVELAND was
elected.
For these reasons. while we reproduce
the document as O notable part Of
the news of the day. we are not |
prepared to believe that Mr.. CLEVELAND is
the author Of it. or to admit that in all re-
spects it sets forth his views upon the
public questions which are now absorbing |
the attention Of the people.

Striking Testimony from Honolulu.

The Boston Herald Of Tuesday printed an
interesting interview with Mr.. WILLIAM
BREWSTER OLEsoN OF Honolulu. now visit
ing New England. This gentleman Is at
the head Of the institution for manual train
ing known as the Kamehameha School. and
is thoroughly III sympathy with the native
population. We present in his own words
some Of Mr.. OLEsoN's well-measured state
ments. in order that they may be compared
with recent assertions by Mr.. CHARLES
NoRDHoFF OF the Nep York Herald respect
ing public opinion in the islands:
-rhe Provisional Government is in q stable financial
condition. All the departments moving along with
great efficiency"

"fhe Hawaiians of intelligence and ability very
largely in favor of annexation. 1t 10 only the
corrupt class among the Hawaans. aided by corrupt
foreign class very few Of whom Americans who
using their influence to keep tho great mass OF the
native population from Joining tho annexation clubs"
This distinct testimony comes from a gen.
tleman whose opportunities to ascertain the
exact state Of Hawaiian public sentiment
are thousand times better than those Of
Mr.. NoRpHoFF. who went out with specta-
cles OF a certain color padlocked to the
bridge OF his nose.
There has been concerted attempt,
amounting almost to q conspiracy of I'M
patriotism. to persuade the people OF this
country that the Provisional Government
in Hawaii Is bankrupt and on the eve Of
total collapse: that vast majority OF the
native population abhor the idea of annexa-
ton: that the friends and promoters of an
nexation include only the least intelligent
and least worthy Of the natives. and the
adventurers and corrupt elements among
the foreigners.
Since Mr.. NORDHoFF went crazy and
began to plead for the restoration of Queen
L1LrUoKALANI. his remarks upon the situa-
ton have not been received anywhere with
much respect. Nevertheless. those writer's
who for one reason or another have taken
their cue from him are still industliously
engaged in their job Of false representation:
and the clear and positive statements Of a
well-informed and responsible person like
Mr.. OuEsoN are valuable at this time.
To turn away Hawaii and send her people
to seek shelter under another flag would be
apolitical blunder worse than crime To
lend American assistance in stamping out
republican government and setting up the
overthrown monarchy would DO both o
blunder and a crime.

Bismarck ON State Rights,

For many weeks we have had interesting
news from Germany. but nothing has de-
served more serious attention than the
speech delivered on Sunday by Prince Bis
MARCK to a number Of excursionists from
the principality Of Lppe-Detmold. What
he said about the Importance OF preserving
State rights. and about the methods Of up
holding them was noteworthy. whether we
regard 1t as an abjuration OF his past prin-
ciples. or as an index OF his possible inten-
tions and the suggestion OF programme
for an anti-Prussian party.
To appreciate the obstruction which
might be offered to the Emperor's policy by
statesman who was able to command the
confidence Of the minor German States. one
should recall certain features Of the type OF
federal government presented in the Con-
stituton OF the new German empire. In
Germany. as In the United States. the bull
warks Of local independence and State
rights are to be found in tho upper House
OF the Federal Legislature. The Reichstag,
like our House Of Representatives. is con-
stituted upon the principle that representa-
ton should be proportional to population.
The Bundesrath. or Federal Senate. on
the other hand. is made up OF delegates
appointed by the Governments OF the
twenty-slx constituent States. the theory
being that every State. no matter how
small. must have at least one rep
resentative. The States. indeed. are not
equally represented In the Bundesrath. as
our States are In the Federal Senate at
Washington: yet the adjustment of repre-
sentation to population is far from perfect.
Thus. OF the fifty-eight members. Prussia.
which contains much more than half OF the
population OF the empire. has but seven
teen; the seven States Of moderate size.
namely. Bavaria. Saxony. Wartemberg.
Baden. Hesse Neutrality-suspicious. aud
Brunswick have, between them. twenty
four. while fourteen petty municipalities
and three Hanseatic cities send one men,
Der each 1t is obvious that the seventeen
votes of the petty States exactly bal
ance the votes of Prussia. and that,
were they organized and bound to-
gether in the interest OF State rights.
they might become formidable engine of
anti-Prussian agitation. A combination of
the single-vote States would be the more
dangerous to Prussia. because. OF the seven
States Of middle size. four. namely Bavaria.
Wurtemberg. Baden. and Hesse. possess
