KELLOGG, of the Alert. has concluded
that prohibition-the convenient kind to
be had in North Dakota, is a delusion
and a snare. He says: prohibition may
prohibit, but its prohibitory nature is of
such evanescent, ethereal, imaginary
character that its substance fades into
thin air, on approach. In theory pro-
hibition waxeth great, and is not cast
down; in practice it slumps like the
wheat market after silver repeal.'

The Nebraska State Journal puts it
very nicely when it says, in speaking of
The coming prospective wrangle on the
tariff question, that the result will be
another conflict in congress, in which the
ineficiency and divided condition of tbs
democratic party will be more clearly
shown than ever; then We will get q
shambling, bulky, unsclentifc new tariff
law, and after that a new congress and
q change of administration.

The solicitude of Mr.. Cleveland's ad-
ministration for the feelings and the
sacred rights of the native citizens of the
Hawaiian islands, says the New York
Press. is z of the most entertaining
things revealed by the documents just
made public. MI. Bloupt, coming from
a southern state which has robbed it's
Iegro citizens Of the franchise, and
which is represented in congress by a
delegation that would never have had
the smallest chance of getting there
upon a fair vote, was shocked when he
reached Hawaii to discover that the re-
volut!onists had not consulted the opin-
ions OF the natives. Probably there are
few negroes in Georgia who are not more
enlightened and more capable of per-
forming the functions OF self government
than the great mass of the Hawaiian
Islanders. II the plan of giving the
suffrage to our own southern black peo-
pie Was a mistake, as Mr.. Blount and his
friends think it was, the idea that the
settlement of a question Of such i'm.
portance as the disposition of the Sand
which islands should be left to people
like the natives is wholly ridiculous. Mr.
Cleveland shared the regrets of Mr..
Blount. 1t panied his feelings to find
that the Hawaiian colored people had
not been summoned to the polls to ap~
prove or repudiate the revolution. And
yet Mr.. Cleveland holds his high Office
because of a great political revolution
effected in this country last year by
almost complete suppression of the votes
OF millions Of colored American citizens
No intelligent man believes that If the
south had had not been held solid by
fraud for the democratic party he could
have won the victory of 1892. Nobody
believes that the democratic party would
now control national legislation, or that
it could hope to win in another national
election, but for the infamy which per-
mits the southern white people, in some
OF the states q minority of the population,
to keep colored citizens from voting. The
white people of Hawaii have all the
intelligence there is in the islands.
They own most of the property. With
out them and their influence in suprem.
acy anarchy would befall Hawaii within
a brief period; and their seizure of the
government was necessary to their own
protection and that Of all respectable
interests in the country.

always startling to a stranger in the jun.

Aninvestigation was accordingly set on

that the alarming roars had been emitted

That the natives should not have rec

For Free Wool.

The imports of raw wool into the

167, 7,7S4,090 pounds, against 139, 9,S17, ,571
pounds in 1891, an increase of 2S, ,466, SIS
pounds. This increase was made up OF
IA, ,459, 1888 pounds clothing woods, 164, ,24e
pounds combing woods and 18,s42, ,44C
pounds carpet woods. These figures
strongly support the position held by ad.
vocates of free wool. They show the i'm
potency Of the present tariff to check the
importation of the foreign staple. The

The absence of Queen Victoria in Flor

in the London newspapers the migrate
full declaration of man employed as
carter on her Windsor private estate.
The man was defendant in civil action
involving the payment of money and
pleaded poverty. The queen, he said,
paid no better than other people, and her
people had to work harder. His wages
were 10 shillings a week and lodgings
found, which did not leave him much to
spare after feeding himself.
"Ah," said the magistrate trying the
case, "you should think Of the honor"
The defendant sturdily replied, to the
amazement of the court, that there
wasn't much honor to be got out of 10
shillings week.
1t would seem from this case that the
queen pays her farm laborers and work.

She would not in any case read the in

because she reads only the Tory Times,

when at home, and not one of these
would venture to hurt her feelings by
referring to such matter. During her
