Nothing could be more democratic or
unjust than the attempt to throw the
responsibility for financial disturb
ances upon the republican ex-secretary
OF the treasury. The democratic vic
tory has disturbed all calculations
growing out of the collection Of GUS
toms. The revenues will of course be
greatly reduced by importers waiting
for reform" regulations. The pres
ident has spoken without telling about
business matters, There is no certain
ty in his touch. How could there be,
when the party has no policy that he
dare avow, and has no convictions so
defined as to be put at once in form
for the specification of reformation?
II Mr.. Harrison had been reelected,
he country would have known exactly
what to expect. AS Mr.. Cleveland has
3een chosen and has taken his seat,
here is no telling what is to happen.
Ir. Cleveland is surrounded by cab
net so much his own that 1t does not
,upport him; 1t leans on him. Has Mr..
Carlisle formed policy? The proposed
liver compromise to all that we have
seen bearing his mark.

sociologists to obtain rational expla.
nation OF a tendency so universal anc
harmful as is the abuse of intoxlcatine
drinks. Hitherto, this problem has
been attacked either from the emo

moral and religious natures of lndi-
vidual men and women, or from the
political side. by the efforts to restrain
or prohibit the sale OF intoxicants, thus
removing temptation from the path Of
the weak, or the morally vicious. 1t
is only too evident that these efforts
IL not wholly futile, have been far from
completely effective. Scientific soclol-

The Portland Telegram says.


Our diplomatic service is an expen-
sive luxury for which we get very little
in return, and we see no reason why
1t should not be abolished, or at least
be cut down to strict business basis.
In these days Of cable and telegraph
communication most of our diplomatic
correspondence with foreign powers
could be conducted directly from the
office of the secretary of state without
the Intervention of ministers and pleni-
potentiaries The consular positions
could be converted into commercial
agencies, and thus nearly all the diplo-
matte service could be dispensed with.
When some crisis or grave complica-
tions arise with a foreign power, the
chances are that the accredited repre-
sentative OF this government cannot be
relied on to give an impartial state
ment Of the situation. We have an in
stance OF that in the Hawaiian muddle,
when the president is forced to send
confidential agent to look into the mat
ter, Notwithstanding we have q resi-
dent minister at Honolulu.
Under present conditions this is true,
but has 1t ever struck the Telegram
that this fact, instead of calling for the
total abolition of such offices is rather
a strong argument for a better and
more perfect system? Were our head
officials to foreign countries chosen as
they are chosen by Germany, England
or France, after careful deliberation,
and were they given the powers grant
ed by those nations, our country would
be saved millions of dollars annually
by their presence in foreign centers Of
government.

country is rich, the people are prosper
GUS, and the irrepressibile growth Of
the nation viii, by main strength, over
come the awkwardness Of the alleged
rulers. But there should be a cam
paign of education to establish in the
general intelligence the value to all,
and the poor more than the rich. of the
maintenance Of the highest standard
of money; and to hold inviolate, for
the strength Of the government and the
security of the people, the public credit.

STRICKEN DEAD.
TRUSTWORTHY STATEMENTS.
A recent New York dispatch reads

A recent New York dispatch reads:
"James e. II, a fine looking and
apparently healthy man, was observed to
stagger while walking on Fifth Avenue this
afternoon, and after taking one or two un
certain steps fell to the sidewalk. When
picked up he was dead. A physician ex-
amined the body and pronounced heart disease
the cause of death. A peculiarly sad feature
of the case is that Mr.. H was on his
way to Maine, to settle in the home of his
boyhood He had passed the previous ten
years in tile western mining country, and had
amassed a fortune. IfYOU have any of the
symptoms given in the following testimonials
you should lose no time in seeking relief.

Here is some sound common sense
from the Portland Dispatch: "Presi-
dent Cleveland, as is his custom in
other matters, is determined to act
with due deliberation on the annexa-
tion proposition so widely discussed
these days. He has dispatched a COM
mission to the islands to make thor
ough investigation of the Hawaiian
possessions and. after they report on
the advantages or disadvantages, and
other considerations to be pondered
over in connection with annexation,
the president will shape his message
on that point accordingly. This is
wise plan, for as yet we have but lit
tie definite information bearing direct
ly on our duty toward these people.
The commercial question and the need
of owning the islands In case Of possl-
BILE war, are not the only questions in
volved. That the natives are not fully
qualified to make good American citi-
zens is an evident truth, but the ques-
tion as to the good we may do them
by placing them under our protecting
egis is still an open one. In conformity
with the broad principle of universal
brotherhood this question becomes
leading one. 1t is we'll to take plenty
of time to consider the matter we'll be-
fore taking final action"
