To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Si,: When Ed

at Honolulu in 1883 he had occasion to draw
the attention OF the Hon. William H. Seward.

fact that the coolie labor system was being es-
tablshed among the planters on the Hawaiian
Islands. cargo having Just then arrived there

South Sea Islands. and Mr. McCook inform ed

The policy Of the United States in regard to
coolie labor was embodied by Congress. and

that he did not understand the bargain
made behind his back and apart from his
knowledge: and he covers the Democracy
with shame without precedent and with
out apology. His duty Is clear and impera-
tive. and IL will not brook delay.
We are sorry to see Democratic Journal

and to adopt the shame. The Daily America.

publication. argues that VAN ALIEN ought
to be sent to Rome as Ambassador because

is against him. 1t is true that
PULITZER is person OF dishonest and
unwholesome reputation. as the Daily
America AYERS; but that does not afford a
sufficient reason why President CLEvE-
LAND should proceed 20 consummate the
delivery OF public Office to a person who
10 not fit to hold it, solely because he has
paid fifty thousand dollars for 1t.
On the other hand. the NeW Yorker Stats
Zeitung. the most important and highest
toned OF our German journals. takes the
view Of this question which common
sense and common morality dictate.
III the President will not understand
what is proper In this situation" says tho
Shafts Zeitung; "if he does not act as he
ought to do. the Senate must reject the
OF VAN ALIEN. Should the Presi-
dent prefer to expose himself to this I'M
pleasant result. It would be an event deeply
to be lamented on his account and on ac-
count OF his Administration"

some OF the privations and hardships which
men and women are ready to incur in order

MIR. Cleveland's Duty.

1t Is President CLEvELAND's duty to with
draw the nomination Of JAMES j. VAN ALIEN
rs Ambassador to Italy. Otherwise he
makes himself a willing party in the scan
dial connected with this affair.
OF the reality of such a scandal and OF it's
revolving nature there is no longer any
doubt. VAN ALIEN gave fifty thousand dol
lars to the Democratic campaign fund, and
In consequence Of this heavy contribution
he has been nominated by the Presi-
dent as Ambassador. 1t has been as
serted that he delivered the money to Mr..
WHITNEY, and that Mr.. WHITNEY promised
him the Office in return. This is not true.
Mr.. WHITNEY denies 1t. and his denial Is
conclusive. In fact. we understand that
the money was not delivered to him.
but to some other gentleman: be-
sides. We are sure Mr.. WHITNEY would
never be concerned in any political trans
action 30 shameful in Its nature But that
tho money was paid by VAN ALIEN. and
that the nomination to the Office fol-
lowed as consequence. is proved by
the testimony Of Mr.. HORACE WHITE
and Mr.. RICHARD WATSON GLIDER.
They endeavored. like honest gentlemen
and devoted friends OF Mr.. CLEVELAND,
to buy VAN ALIEN off. by returning the fifty
thousand dollars to him. so that Mr.. CLEvE-
LAND might not even be called upon to send
the nomination to the Senate. and 80 that
the scandal might not be developed and
brought to the public knowledge. But VAN
ALIEN would not trade with them. He had
bought the Enthusiastically which he
wanted, and would not sell it again.
We assume that when Mr.. CLEVELAND
determined ON the nomination and sent
1t to the Senate. he acted in per-
feet ignorance and innocence OF these
hidden facts and compacts. He was
not aware that he was performing
the most important and final part in an
odious and shameful bargain Of corruption.
He was not aware that he was delivering,
for money paid. one OF the greatest offices
under the Government. and that he was
affixing brand OF dshonor upon his
own reputation and upon the name and
standing OF the Democracy. But now il is
no longer permitted us to think him igno-
rant and unaware. The facts have been re-
vealed and the shame is undenlable. When
HORACE WHITE and RICHARD WATSON GIL

to collect privately such a sum as
fifty thousand dollars in order to buy

1t is no longer possible for Mr.. CLEVELAND
to remain in doubt or indifference respect

How. then. can he hesitate? Every high

1t Is In very languid way that the yerv
lazy fighting men OF big Brazil wage their
dawdling wars In the military operations
that have been carried on in the southern mart
OF the country for over q year. both the rebels
and the Government troops have taken thipg s
very easily. and have but rarely in cd In that
mutual slaughter which is supposed to be the
business Of belligerents. In many OF the sec.
ond- class battles OF tho American conflict. the
number OF the fallen was greater than In all
the scrimmages in Rio Grande do Sui since the
outbreak Of hostllties there. The Brazilian
fighters prefer a sham fight to a murderous
combat. They never seem to be DESTROYS OF
killing each other. or even Of iniiIcting serious
wounds upon one another. Four years ago the
republicans got up a revolution again st the EN-
peror. but his army wouldn't fight for him.
and so the revoiutionists shipped him out OF
the country In peace. A few months ago an
Admiral Of the navy rose in revolt against the
Government. but he surrendered with his two
fighting ships as soon as he heard that an
other Admiral had started out in pursuit of
him. The bombardment OF the great city of
Rio de Janeiro by the revolutionary navy
during the past fortnight has been the least
sanguinary thing OF the kind In naval history
MELIo Is evidently unwilling to do much
injury to the CITY, and PEIxoTo's troops In the
forts cannot surely be DESTROYS OF doing seri-
GUS damage to the assallng feet.
Brazilian warfare is not characterized by nm
uncomfortable lust for blood. It is light The
proper instrument to play while 1t Is in prog.
ress is the mandolin. Both the army and the
navy are prettily accoutred; the revolutlonIsts
wear picturesque garb when they can get It.
The Brazilians are not towards. but they do
not care to engage in hard fighting The cli-
mate Is hot. The Portuguese race. to which
they belong. won renown in other times as
one OF the brayest races in the world Brazil
is q far lazier country than Portugal.
In tho Spanish American republics of South
America the wars are often terrific. The Chi
lians. leruvians. Argentinians. Paraguayans
and Nenezuelans fight furiously and very
often. The Brazilians have doubtless plenty
OF pluck, but they refrain from making show
OF 1t when 1t Is not needed.

We suppose that this extract from the

II would break the back OF credulity to
believe that the Democrats in Congress IRE
more timid in 1893 than the men who elected
them were In 1892. The people are behind
them. They have an order OF the peoples to
execute. With such reason for absolute con-
fidence. how can they or any Of them doubt
