MINISTER STEVENS RELIEVED.

There appears to be absolutely no
doubt left as to the reported recall of
Minister Stevens from his ispresent post
as minister plenipotentiary from the
United States to Hawaii. Responsible
officials at the State department,
about whose position to know where
of they speak there can be no question,
do not hesitate to confirm the report
that ex-Representative BIount will be
appointed minister resident to Hawaii.
1t has been supposed that Minister
Stevens would remain In charge of the
legation until May "a, at which time
he had announced his intention of
sailing for San Francisco. 1t is now
known that Stevens has been instruct
ed to forthwith turn over the lagation
to Commissioner Blount, who has
been appointed his successor. There
is reason TO believe that Mr.. Stevens
was not allowed TO remain in charge
of the legation until the Oath instant,
because of his activity in behalf of an
nexation. 1t is further stated at the
department that Messrs. Bowen and
Sewell, who went to Honolulu shortly
after Mr.. Blount's arrival, have been
active in their efforts to stimulate the
sentiment on the island in favor of an
nexation. Secretary Gresham has in
formed Mr.. Blount that the president
repudiates everything said and done
by these gentlemen. Mr.. Sewell was
an applicant for the position of third
assistant secretary Of state under the
present administration, but failed 10
secure the appointment.

vINDICATIoN OF THE SOUTH.
An Appeal from Partisan Prejudice
to Reason and Justice.

To all just and generous minds there
comes a feeling of unrestrained glad
ness at the thought that, after all these
long years of passion, prejudice and
partisanship ON the part of the North
ern people toward their Southern
neighbors, at last the narrow wall of
sectional hatred is fast being destroy
ed. Each day the hand of the master
workman, experience, equipped with
the irresistible weapon of truth, sue
ceeds in widening the breach in this
once solid and seemingly impenetra-
BILE wall, whose envious stones have
frowned in derision, down upon all ef-
forts to dislodge them. AT last, be-
meath the iron hand of patient deter
mination welding the sledge hammer
of enlightened truth, we see this stub
born barrier give away and watch the
effect of The rays of light as they enter
the darksome caverns of ignorance and
prejudice beyond. Nor has this glo-
rious result been achieved by any one
person or set of persons, but by the
united efforts of liberal and enlighten-
ed patriots from every portion of this
broad land. True it is, as has been
well said, that, of recent years the
South itself has done much to dissi-
pate this prejudice by sending forth
the sweetest and truest voices into ht-
erature, and contributing the strong
est and freshest gifts to the nations
thought. But it will only be when
travel and nearer personal relations
have brought the sections into closer
knowledge of each other that the
Northern people will appreciate the
refinement and culture which is the es-
sential characteristics of Southern So
ciety, and the gentleness and beauty
which marks our domestic life and fills
the atmosphere of our homes. In all
truth, this foolish want of knowledge
is only felt in the North. The South
ern people have Travelled, have seen,
and judged. The critics of the North
have sat at home, like the patricians
of Greece, and have known of no good
outside,Attica. The time is at hand
therefore when even the fiercest par
tisans of the North, and the most ig-
norant inhabitant of its farms and vii
lagos, will see with great wonder
that they have been condescending to
the noblest men, the most scholarly
and thoughtful of the nation, and to
women who could have held their own
in the proudest salon of the Paris of
Nine. Neckar.
Daily Texarkana Democrat., 1893-05-11

with mingled sorrow and regret by
the people of this city on yesterday.
Mr.. Addington was recognized as a
bright and promising young business
man, who during years Of residence in
Texarkana, had won for himself
warm place in the hearts of his asso-
ciates. The deceased leaves a widow
and several children to mourn his un
timely death. The remains will be
brought to this city for interment, the
funeral to take place from the resi-
dence Of Mr.. G. b. Turner, father-in-
law of the deceased, at 10 O'Clock a. m.
tomorrow. Interment at Rose Hill
cemetery. The DEMOCRAT unites
with our people IN rendering to the
bereaved wife and fatherless children
the deepest feeling of commiseration

THE PRESIDENTS NEW RULE.

The recent order made and promul-
gated by the President, relating to-
the time and manner of receiving Wis.,
itors at the White House, has been
the subject of almost universal dis
cussion by all classes of people at
Washington, resulting in almost every
instance in the complete vindication
of Presidents course. While the
order, or rather request, of the Presl-
dent may prove a source Of annoy
ance and inconvenience to the more
importunate members of the vast
army Of office seekers who are wont
to throng the streets, boarding houses
and public buildings of the Capitol
City, eagerly awaiting the first appor-
tunity to pounce upon the President
and deafen his already wearied ears
with their tales of political woe, yet
to every other class, from the Presi-
dent down to the humblest office
holder, the measure is blessing
in disguise. In recent discussion
of the subject Senator Butler, of South
Carolina an excellent authority on
many questions of public good, was
heard to say;
"Presuming that we had hundred
million of people, which will be the
case in ten years, and the doors are
thrown open to them, how can any
business be transacted? | have the
greatest belief in the Democratic idea
of simplicity of government, and that
the President should be accessible to
every American; but there is business
to transact, and it must be transacted.
This business is not political, 1t is
governmental. The people demand
that it be attended to. 1t must be
attended to-"

Bering Sea Arbitration.

Public interest does not appear at
present nearly SO great over the pro-
ceedings of the Behring Sea Arbitra-
ton as it has formerly been. In
neither the United States or England
does the final adjustment of the
Fisheries question the same attention
which has heretofore been bestowed
upon it in both countries. The court
is just now occupied IN hearing the
closing Of the able and exhaustive
argument of Mr.. Condert, counsel
for the United States. Among other
things, IN the course of his argument
Mr.. Condert related the history of the
pelsgic sealing and showed that since
the adoption of the modus vivendi
pelagic sealers had increased their de-
mands. Mr.. Coudert demonstrated
the necessity of putting a stop to
pelagic sealing. In dealing with the
question of damages advanced by
Great Britain, he said the British
claims with respect of the prospective
catch were untenable.
