Turning to Hawaiian annexation,
President Cleveland said: president
Harrison was too hasty in sending in
his annexation treaty. He should have
examined the situation down there,
learning conditions and what was not
only necessary upon our pant, but what
was desired by citizens Of Hawaii. We
shall make an investigation. [ shall
probably send a committee there, and if I
find that annexation is desired and de-
sirable, I will renew the treaty. If other
relations are preferable, those I shall
recommend to congress"

Republicans in League.

About fifty delegates Of the state re-
publican league met in Topeka last Fri
day and relieved themselves of the usual
amount of superhuous words. They
were regsled by bombastic speeches
from such Of the old and young crowds
as Dan Anthony, E. N. Morrill,, Ralph
Burton, Ed Hoch, Cubbison, Long, Lob
dell, Douglass, Hudson and Mrs. Johns.
Some of these speeches, especially that of
Morrill,, were of the most infammatory
nature, being directed against the state
administration, and abounding in praise
for those who opposed it in the late
trouble. Had not the speeches met
with so little response from the tired
audience they would have caused more
alarm among law abiding citizens.

like an Indian idol glum and grim"
Grover blinked and endured the sdu-
lation, and the stupider and blsnker he
looked the more wildly in love the
American sovereigns became over their
brand new servant. American sovsr-
eigns by the thousands brsved the dread
full weather with scsnt clothing and
every evidence Of abject poverty for the
strange delight Of looking at man
whom their votes had placed in q posi-
tion which pays $4,000 per annum and
furnishes palatial residence at the ex-
pense Of the proud sovereigns
The fiction Of self government is re-
vealed in all it's thresdbareness at Wash
ington. There was never an absolute
monarchy more governed by men Of
royal blood than are Americans by plu-
tocracy. And fat, stolid Grover is plu-
tocracy's plant tool. Whatsoever the
gold bugs desire of Grover that will he
do, and all in the name Of "the cUnstitu-
ton"
II the tsttered American sovereigns
cannot get glimpse Of the great Grover,
the next best thing is to see Lady Frances
or Princess Ruth. Then how they do
shout and rave. The sight compensates
for the fact that their own wives and lit
tie ones haven't decent clothes to go to
church in and no expectation of ever in
their lives being able to earn enough to
enable them to buy the humblest sort Of
q cottage home.
God grant that grand old Abraham
Lincoln spoke truly when he said, "You
can't fool all the people all the time" for
then there is some hope that the next
four years will teach the American SOW
ereigns that their chief servant Grover
is not theirs at all, but merely the figure
head Of the money power Of Wall street
and universal gold buggery.
Nothing could be more fortunate than
the fact that democracy has everything,
the executive and both houses Of con-
gress. There can be no more shirking,
no more shsmming. One more session of
congress will settle the whole business,
and then q long-sufferlng, patient and
much befooled people will open their
eyes and say, "What pro6teth it that we

Will the readers of the ADVOCATE
please jog their memories with reference
to the last presidential campaign and
notice that the tariff was the great and
only issue. Then will they please notice
that the said great and only received no
attention whatever from the late de-
ceased congress. The money question
fsilver-was the great question when it
came to legislation; but during the cam
paign, while there was danger that the
American sovereigns might become a
little enlightened as to the manner in
which their servants were dealing with
money matters, both the old parties fran
ticallY shouted "tsriff," and the accom-
modating sovereigns howled about free
trade and protection until one November
day, when they went and cast ballots for
Messrs. Gold Bug Harrison or Cleveland,
as the case might be. II the house Of
Harrison had been continued Prince
Baby Mckee would have been the occu-
pant Of the national palace, but as it
turned out, Princess Ruth is the lucky
party, and that's about all the difference
it makes to the masses of unemployed,

eigns.

SAVED GY THE DADY.

The Crying Of q Child Aroused the Father
and Saved the Family From Cremation.
A 22month-old baby saved the lives Of
six people early yesterday morning and
aroused the neighbors and saved the
property of her father from destruction
by fire. William Holdsworth and his
son have a wheelwright and wagon
works ct Fifteenth street and Paramount
avenue. The second story of the factory
is occupied by William Holdsworth, Jr,
and his family. and in the third story
George Gaskin, his brother-in-law, and
Eina klund have rooms.
At O'Clock in the morning Mr.. Holds
worth, Jr.. was awakened by the cries of
his child, and smelling smoke he aroused
his wife. The child was swinging in a
hammock in the kitchen, and when Mr..
Holdsworth went into the room he found
flames eating up the woodwork.
The smoke was SO thick that the IA
ther found his child with difficulty. By
this time Mrs. Holdsworth had rushed
into the room, and wrapping the bed
clothing around the baby and an older
child tried to effect an escape. In her
haste she almost ran into the fire. Mr..
Holdsworth saw his wife's peril and
grabbed her before she was burned.
He gropcd his way down stairs, fol-
lowed by Mrs. Holdsworth and the chill.

An officer Of the Ninth district saw the
blaze and turned in an alarm. In u
half hour the fire was under control.
Mr.. Holdsworth said last night that
when he heard the child crying and went
into the kitchen the flames were close to
the hammock where the infant had been
asleep. He was sound asleep himself,
and If the baby had not cried he is sure
that all in the house would have been
burned to death.-Pniladelphia Press.

In some respects the crank is more
dangerous than the outright lunatic. The
latter usually gives warning Of his in
tention, and he makes his assault on the
first man within reach. The latter in
spires carelessness by the very contempt
in which he is held, but when he gets
ready for his bloody work it is not the
next bystander, but the most conspicu-
Ous-freQuently the most beloved and
useful members of the community
whom he has marked for slaughter. Is
his worthless neck really SO precious that
We should take this chance for it? The
indulgence Of law and authority for the
crank should come to nm end.
Whenever and wherever q man is
known to have made threats against any
one, whenever rmenacing letters are traced
back to him, whenever he is Shown clear
ly to be of unsot,nd mind and possessed
by delusion, lie ought to be placed under
some restraint or surveillance, and when
ever he carries his pecuiiaritles to the
length of murder the community should
be rid of him.
The insanity defense has done its work
by saving few real madwen from the
scaffold, to drag out the rest of the liv-
ing death that life is to them in asylums
or to plot new dangers to the communi-
ty, but it has offered untold encourage
ment and immunity to crime. and it has
deprived IFS of some Of our bravest and
our best. The tolerance of the crank
digs the mine and lays the train by which
innocent men and valued citizens are to
come to their death whenever some pc
culiarly stimulating and exciting cir
cumstance sets the disarranged mind of
the crank on murder. Embryo assassins
walk the streets Of nearly all our large
