WILL USE HIS DISCRETION.

According to the greatest of poets dis
cretion Is the better part of valor. So
Minister Willis seems to think. He now
proposes TO exercise in Honolulu the dis
cretion which the President did not exer-
else in Washington.
There is another point upon which Mr..
Willis might bring bis discretion to bear
Upon what authority does he assure the
public that no change in the present situa-
ti0n at the islands will be allowed until he
receives fresh instructions from Washing
ton? Who is Minister Willis anyhow?
If he is simply American Minister at the
islands how can be prevent an uprising of
the Queens supporters if they are dis
posed to uprise? Do his instructions au-
thorize him to take charge OF the ex-
Queens affairs and to compel her to use
discretion as well as himself?
The suggestion was made some days ago
that Minister Willis needs reefng. He
spreads over too much space. When he
assumes that Grover Cleveland holds the
fate of the islands in his hands ne forgets
that Grover Cleveland voluntarily relin-
Quished the right of control over the islands
which was offered the Government of the
United States. Undoubtedly the Minister
may order marines to be landed to prote ect
the lives and property of American resi-
dents, but if this force is so directed as to
pull down one Government and set up an
other somebody will have 20 answer.
When Minister Willis first arrived in the
Islands he said in substance: "The Amerl-
can policy is fixed. l am the executive
officer to put it in practice. When the time
comes to act shall not need your help nor
heed your resistance" This was strange
talk to come from an American Minister
In foreign country and under an nde-
pendent Government. The Government
he represented has never openly an
nounced such relation to the Government
to which he was accredited as to warrant
such an assumption of power

THE NICARAGUA CANAL.

During President Arthug's administra-
tion treaty was negotiated with Mica
ragua granting the American Government
all the necessary power to construct a
canal to connect the Atlantic and Pacific
oceans. President Arthur handed over
the Government to President Cleveland on
the 4th of March. 1885. Since then eight
years have passed and the canal is as much
of problem as ever Cleveland withdrew
the treaty Arthur had negotiated on the
ground that he could find no authority in
The constitution to acquire the title to for
eign territory, which the treaty contem-
plated. The enterprise slumb bered peace
fully through the Cleveland adminstra-
tion. but its prosecution was warmly urged
by Mr.. Cleveland's successor, President
Harrison. Congress, however. failed TO
give the financial aid the canal company
asked for, and the company was unable to
proceed on its own resources. Mr.. Cleve-
land now says in respect to the canal:
The United States is especially interested In
the successful achievement of the vast under
taking this company has in charge. That it
should be accomplished under distinctively
American auspices and It's enjoyment assured
not only TO the needs of this country az chan
mel OF commerc ! communication between the
Atlantic anG Pacific seaboard. out 10 the ships
of The world in The interests Of civilization. is
proposition which, In my judgment, does not
admit OF question.
This is well in its way. but coming after
the withdrawal of the Arthur treaty on the
grounds alleged the question may be asked
as TO what the President means. WhaI
constitutes distinetively American aus.
pices? What may the Government do to
insure the achievement of the vast un-
dertaking" the Nicaragua Canal Company
has in charge? OF course. the President t
is not expected to report bill providing
revenue for the canal. but 1t would be well
to know whether he sees any way by which
Congress may assist without violating Mr..
Cleveland's strict construction of the con-
etifutinp

s PREACHING AND PRACTICE"

Under this heading the Record Union
thus talks to the ladies who have signed
petitions for newspaper reform:
propositi Ion for reform is nothing without
vig0r and action behind 1t. Petition and ap-
peal never yet won against chicane and greed.
III the women want 10 promote purity in the
press they must patronze such Of the press
only as reflect their views.
The combination effected by the petition
was necessary preliminary to effective
action. Without combination and unity Of
purpose each lady would act for herself
She would not be in a position to reach
others of her way of thinking. The ladies'
have now gained a position from which
they can move with resistless force. As
they naturally will desire TO refuie the
charge that there was no real purpose in
the movement, they will proceed not ex-
actly Ell masse. but nearly so, In the dlrec-
tion our Sacramento contemporary has in

PRESIDENTS MESSAGES.

Fresldents' messages have not yet con-
formed to the change in the methods of
communicating with the public Before
the days Of railroads and telegraphs it was
well for the President to epitomize in his
message the principal work of all the de-
partments. But now these departments
speak for themselves. They reach the
public through the same channels az the
message. Why then should the message
either warm their reports over or present
a synopsis which the department will
warm over when its time comes to speak !?
President Clegeland's last message STUN
bled over all the ground that is properly
covered by reports from the several de-
partments. He did not make nearly so
satisfactory showing as the department Is
will make. The message was not accurate
in important particulars. 1t makes esti-
mates in regard to the treasury deficiency
which the treasury reports show to be
founded On theories rather than on facts.
1t takes issue with the report of the Secre-
tary of the Navy, which had been pub
lished when the message was sent to Con-
gress. An executive message dealing with
affairs in general, leaving ont the details
which are the work of the several depart
ments. would be interesting. 1t might out
line policies. state existing conditions. ex-
plain questions of foreign policy, and in
general way represent the com bined
working of the executive department of
the Government If 1t should leave details
to the heads OF departments there would
be better opportunity to invest the mes
sage with the character and scope of q
state paper.

A STORY SPOILED.
Mrs. Conly's Watch Not Present in
the Courtroom.

The many friends Of Mrs. Emma Comfy.
widow of John Comfy. are justly indig-
nant at report which appeared in sem
sational morning daily yesterday regarding
that lady. her circumstances. her son and
her watch. While it is quite true that
William Comfy in the past has not walked
exactly in "the straight and narrow path"
and that his ex,ravagances were such as
to compel his mother to take steps in re-
gard to her property which would protect
herself and her other children, it is also
true that the differences between mo ther
and son have been at an end for some time
and that there is no shadow of unfrien dill
ness rem naming between them.
The scene in the justices court was for
the most part the product Of sensational re-
porter's fertile imagination. An aftermath
OF small bills for which she is not rightly
responsible has been troubling Mrs. Comfy
for some time, and at last, to stop the an
noyance. her attorney advised her to sub
nit TO an examination as to her financial
standing and responsibility, and this she
decided to do. Al far as the watch is con-
cerned. ii was repOsing upon the dressing
case in Mrs. CoDly's own apartment at
home at The time when 1t was slated to
have been the central figure of the pathetic
and dramatic episode which the reporl er
aforesaid narrated at length in the columns
OF his unreiiab Bile sheet.

Lumber Is TO 20 on the free list. This will

plenty Of lead, and China will furnish all the
cheap labor needed.
Iron ore is 10 go on the free list This means
that British Columbia's iron deposits will be
opened before those OF Washington are. for
Canada has an abundance of Chinese labor
Coal is to go on The free list. The Vancouver
Island coal companies employ Japanese
miners, and with a wider market will be able to
give employment TO more Japs.
To this the Victoria paper replies that
the mines and mills of British Columbia
are not worked by Chinese and japanese
10 any greater extent than those of Wash
ingion. Admitting that they are not. the
points made by the Seattle paper bold
good. British Columbia admits Chinese
on the payment of head tax of $50. and
there is no limit as to numbers. The
American law prohibits them coming on
any terms. The Datural result will be that
Chinese will come in such numbers to
British Columbia that competition will
beat wages down, while in the United
States Chinese are so few In numbe that
they cannot be said to compete against
