A correspondent asked the Boston
Herald: "Hasthe United States a right
to interfere with with a government
which has been formally recognized by
itself and by all other civilized powers
and to overthrow it?"
The Herald answers that decidedly
it has not, 'and for this reason we
have strongly condemned the action of
President HAREIsoN'S minister to Ha-
wall. How far the United States has the
right &c go in efforts to remove the wrong
t has thus done to a governme nt formal
ly recognized by itself and other powers
is a more difficult question to decide, and
it seems to US that President CLEvE-
LAND is acting with statesmanlike cir
c~umSpection in view Of il, There is
considerable gnashiDg Of teeth on the
part Of certain people, who are disposed
to make political capital out Of his
course" says the Herald, shut the
sounder sentiment Of the country is
with him, as usual"
This states the case in as few words
and as completely as possible.

He Lost the So.

The REGISTER mentioned the COM
ing contest, for IS a side, between Will
liam McWilliams, and John Hartzel, of
Benwood, on cigar smoking. Will
liams was to smoke an immense cigar,
made by Hannah Bros, fifteen inches
long, and three inches in diameter, in
half a day or lose his stake. A great
deal OF interest was conferred In the
contest, which came off yesterday. Roy
Cornell, of Bellaire, was chosen referee,
and quite a crowd went to the hill back
Of Bogg'S Run yesterday morning about
2 o'clock to see Williams try. He
pulled away till 10 o'clock, only smok-
ing about an inch an hour from the big
cigar. He then got deathly sick, and
the referee gave the decision to Hartzel.
The cigar was made Of the strongest
Kentucky tobacco.

We miss thee from our home, dear,
We miss thee from thy plicei
Ashadow DER our life Is cast;
We miss the sunshine OF thy face.
We miss thy kind and willing hand,
Thy fond and earnest care;
Our home Is dark without thee
We miss thee everywhere
One by one earth's ties are broken
AS We see our love decay,
And the hopes SO fondly cherished
Brighten but to pass away.
One by one ouP hopes grow brighter,
AS we near the shining shore,
Fo- we know across the river
Wait the loved ones gone before.

The following comment from the
Todd County Argus affords food for
thought:
The owners of the property demand
$3.50, 900 for the site for the new capitol
in st. Paul. Unless this is reduced at
least TO a quarter of this amount, the
people of the state will shut UP the
capitol business this fall with a snap
that Will astonish the natives. If the
city of st, Paul can't do better than
that, she will have to look many a long
day before she sees new capitol build
ing rising in her midst. .~
After much labor and tribulation the
bill providing for new state capitol was
passed last winter, and 1t now behooves
our citizens to see that the fruits of that
victory are not lost through the grasp
Ing disposition of property owners.
The capitol commission is, very prop
erly, circumscribed in its choice of sites
by being limited to within three-ouar-
