1t will be great fun for outsiders if at
the next session of the senate the case of
Senator Roach of North Dakota should
be taken up for investigation. Demo-
cratic senators declare if it is thus taken
up they will unearth every mean thing
every Republican senator has done in
his life and lay 1t before the public.
Merely to get even of course the Repub-
ican senators would be compelled to
take the same course with regard to
Democrats, and between the two there
would be merry go round such as the
country has not witnessed in years. We
vhall see who is afraid and who dares not.

Descended From Columbus.

Don Christobel Colon de Toledo de la
Corda y Ganta, duke of Veragua, mar
quis of Jamaica and admiral and adelan-
tado mayor of the Indies, is his name, and
he is thirteenth in direct descent from the
great discoverer of America. In spite Of
both name and descent, however, Don
Christobel Colon de Toledo, ETC., ETC., etc.,
is good deal of a man. For this reason
quite as much as because he is descended
from Columbus the Duke of Veragua
comes to us as chief of the representa-
tives of Spain at the Columbian fair. His
ancient blood is indeed no great things
in Spanish eyes, for the real yellow old
grandees Of Spain trace their blood back
centuries before Columbus was born.
In appearance the Duke of Veragua re-
sembles somewhat our own Chauncey
Depew. He does not take tooratory and
railroading, however, but to agriculture
and livestoc breeding. He is Liberal
in politics and at one time was royal
commissioner of agriculture. He is
chiefly admired among his fellow coun-
trymen because he breeds the champion
animals for the public bull fights at
Madrid. The Veragua bulls are the
most ferocious and famous of all those
that appear in the ring in Spain-among
the most savage that ever killed their
man or horse before the eyes of a delight
ed audience. A thousand dollars is not
uncommon price for the Duke of Vera
qua to receive for one of these animals.
He is good fnancier, and partly from
ancestral estates, partly from live stock
breeding and other business operations
not beneath the notice of a noble duke,
he has managed to accumulate an annual
income as large as the salary of the presi-
| dent of the United States.

The Grand Naval Review.

We are all glad and proud that our
country is SO large, and there are those
who hope TO live till they see it bigger
yet. But there are always few incon-
veniences attached to greatness of every
kind, and one of our Inconvenience just
now is the impossibility of even thou
sandth part of the people Of this great
country seeing the magnificent naval pa
geant which will be displayed the last
days of this month all the way from
Hampton Roads to New York harbor.
April 81 the vessels will perform their
evolutions in New York bay and the Hud-
son river.
The old countries of Europe are so
glad Columbus discovered America and
gave them spot ON which to dump their
surplus population that they will join
heartily in the review, proceeding to
Hampton Roads for that purpose. The
first to arrive ON the ground was the
Russian flagship Dmitri Douskoi, and
she gave salute at Fortress Monroe
which included one gun for almost every
thousand Jews we have taken off the
czar's hands. Brazil and Argentina will
be represented, because on their part
they are so glad Columbus discovered a
continent where great republics could
be founded and every man Of common
blood, if he had brains, could have a
fighting chance for the best this world
has to give. Yes, the guns ought to
boom long and loud, over the waters and
through the hills. Let the eagle scream!
More than 40 war vessels will partici-
pate in the review, besides scores of small
craft. The largest vessel built for trav-
ell will be the monster British protected
cruiser Blake, 1900 tons. There, too,
will be the quaint little "caravels' Santa
Maria, Pinta and Nina, built in imitation
of the vessels constituting the feet of
Columbus. Eight of our new cruisers, all
named for cities in this Union, will take
part, besides the combined dynamite

suvius will be the ship of the American
navy which will attract the most atten-
ton from foreigners, she being Of type
that is unique. The flagship will be the
Philadelphia, and in this Admiral Che
rardi will lead all the rest, home and
foreign. Our gunboats Yorktown, Con-
cord and Bennington will also be in the
show.
The grandest sight of all will be wit
messed in New York harbor. There all
the ships will draw up in two lines. Be.
tween them will pass the huge monitor
Miantonomoh, having on board Presi,
dent Cleveland, and as he passes each
vessel will fire a salute until 800 guns
have burned their powder in honor OF
this glorious republic and its president.
It stirs the blood to think of the booming
guns, the waving flags, the splendid ships.
The Union forever!

Hawaii,

The absolute change of policy in the
administration of this government is no.
where more marked than in the hauling
down of the American flag from over
Hawaii. From Jan. II to April 1 it
foated there in triumph and glory. Had
Harrison remained president, Hawaii,
for better or for worse, might now have
been United States territory. Commits
sioner Blount has proved that he could
keep secret at any rate, for nobody
knew he had orders from President
Cleveland to order down the American
flag.
Commissioner Blount appears to be
President Cleveland's political Satolli,
not an apostolic legate precisely, but a
presidential legate. President Cleveland
writes of Mr.. Blount:
have made choice of James H. Blount, one
commissioner to visit the Hawaiian Islands to
make report to me concerning the present
status Of affairs in that country. He is well
informed Of our sincere desire to cultivate and
maintain to the fullest extent the friendship
which has so long existed between the two
countries, and In all matters affecting rela-
lions with the government of the Hawaiian
Islands his authority is paramount.
We have the assurance of Mr.. Blount
that no other nation will be permitted
to take possession of the islands. But it
will be now more difficult to prevent
this than 1t was before. Blaine, then
secretary Of state, wrote Dec. 1, 1881,
that the possession of the Hawaiian Is
lands was in the range of questions of a
purely American policy, and that if eve,
there came time when Hawaii would
no longer be able to maintain her OWL
neutrality "this government would then
unhesitatingly meet the altered situation
by seeking an avowedly American solu.
ton for the grave issues presented"
