Pan Michael is a story by Henry
Sienkiewrez, the Polish author, trans
lated by Jeremiah Curtin. and it de-
serves more mention than we are able to
give 1t at this time. 1t is an historical
novel of Poland, the Ukraine and
Turker, a sequel to With Fire and Sword
and The Deluge. 1t deals with the tre-
mendous struggle of the Commonwealth
of Poland and terminates with the bat
tile of Hotin, which made John Sobieski
king i'll 1874. 1t is filed with stirring
incidents, battles and escapes, and in
terlarded with stories of Polish wit,
which do not always strike the American
sense. 1t will be found book once
taken up not readily laid down again,
and we recommend it to our readers

My Child and I. By Florence Warden.
This is in Lippincott's series of select
novels issued monthly, and is mum bered
152 in the list. We trust that the pre-
ceding hundred and ffty-one are better
than this. 1t is a plain tale of vice,
crime and misfortune, with but little to
relieve it from the commonplace. We
confess to having conceived curiosity
whether the chief scamp was to be hung
by the law or killed by some victim of
his rascality, and so read it through.
Stories of the last war are always in
order, and An Unknown Heroine, by
L.. r. Chittenden is quite an interesting
one for what it purports to be-a true
story. AS rule we prefer those that
are strictly untrue. This is an histori-
cal episode of the war between the
States, the scene being laid in the beau
tlful valley of the Shenandoah. the
granary of the seeded States, which
was fought over again and again and
finally desolated by Sheridan in 1864
The tale is of good men and women of
both sides of the struggle, with just
enough meanness and villany introduced
to make the goodness better. New York

moved business would quickly start
p and prosperity return. The prophecy
has not been fulfilled. The silver law
was repealed several months ago, but
there has been little if any improvement.
Mills continues to be shut down and
wages to decrease. The number of the
unemployed is increasing rather than
some other source than the silver law
for the cause OF the depression.
Uncertainty as to tariff legislation has
been suggested That undou btedly has
had much to do with the depression.
Manufacturers can do nothing when the
conditions under which theysare to work
are uncertain. But this uncertainty in
large measure has now passed away.
The tariff bill has been made and pub
lished To be sure it has not been
passed, but the chances of defeating it
or altering it in any essential particular
are so few, that manufacturers know
with substantial certainty the conditions
under which they must manufacture
goods next year if they manufacture at
all. Yet the pracuical removal of tn is I'M
certainty hassnot revived .our industries.
1t follows that there is still a cause oper-
ating to keep them down. That cause
cannot be uncertainty in regard to the
currency, for that has passed away en-
itrely, nor uncertainty concerning the
tariff, for that has disappeared largely.
There remains nothing to account for
the continuance of the depression but
the certainty of the change of tariff as
contemplated in the Wilson bill.

One of the checklist assumptions OF the
thick and thin supporters OF the Presl-
dents Hawa allan policy is that it has
been proved that Minister Steven set up
the Provisional government The only
foundation for it is the report OF Com
missioner Blount, who went to the IS
lands for the sole purpose OF finding
some pretext TOR reversing the Hawaiian
policy of the Harrison administration,
and as IN duty bound found it. Mr..
Blount is contradicted by Mr.. Stevens
and every member of the Provisional
and almost every American
resident of the island. But Cleveland
has given his endorsement to Blount
and that, of course, settles it with the
subservient administration organs.
Whatever Mr.. Cleveland says goes with
them without challenge. Whether it rests
upon any foundation or not makes no
difference to them. The great Cleveland
is infallible. When he makes an asser-
ton the American people must bow in
hum BILE assent.

THE PRESS.
SATURDAY, DECEMBER 8.

Mr.. Talbot of South Carolina seems to
be the only Democrat in the House OF
Representatives who hasssthe courage to
stand up and demand THAT the pledges
of.the last National Platform as regards
the tariff and banks be redeemed. He
is out of all patience with sq1abbling OF
the Ways and Means committee about
schedules and wants a.tariff bill report
ed right off that will meet the require
ments of the platform by reducing all
duties to revenue basis. He wants al
so.the pledge regarding tn TAX on State
banks redeemed. When, however, Mi.
Tall made these requests-requests
which are in strict conformity with the
Democratic platform-objection was
promptly made and Mr.. Talbot was
squelched.

1t is hardly worth while for the sup
perters of the Wilson bill to deny that
industry is depressed, that business is
hard and that thousands of workingmen
are. out of employment. The facts are
altogether too patent to everybody who
has eyes and ears to admit of denial.
Every daily paper contains long list of
industries that have shut down or re-
duced the wages of their employees. All
the large cities are thronged with men
out of work, and the problem of provid-
ing for the poor curing the long cold
winter is one of such gravity that city
officials everywhere are giving it their
best thought. 1t is as plain as anything
can be that not for twenty years at least
have the industries of the country been
so depressed and SO many men unable
to gain livelihood for want of employ
ment as now.
The reason for this depression may Dos
sibly admit of difference of opinion, the
existence of it is a fact that nobody can
effectively deny. 1t is also fact that adj
nits of no truthful denial that this con-
dition OF things has come upon the coun
try suddenly. The catastrophe has been
suddenly precipitated upon us. 1t was
at first said to be due to the silver law.

D The uncomfortable position which
my administration" has got into in the
Hawaiian matter is largely the result OF
the towering conceit and self-sufficiency
of Mr.. Cleveland When Mr.. Blount
made his report alleging that the Queen

land should have laid the report before
CONGRESS and asked the opinion of that
body as to the proper course to pursue.
Instead he carefully kept the facts
from Congress, informed it that he had
nothing more to consult it about, and
as soon as it was "off his hands" pro-
ceeded to dispatch an agent to Honolulu
to restore the Queen. He had conceived
the idea apparently that the provisional
government of Hawaii would be as
obedient as his own party. and would
retire as soon as he had intimated his
wish for it to do SO. He was disappoint-
ed, and now he appears to be undecided
just what to do, evidently wanting to
use the navy to accomplish his purpose,
but not quite daring to openly and flag
rantly violate the Constitution.
