Heroic Conduct Of One OF the NoveliSt'a
Characters.

Heroic Conduct OF One OF tho NoVeIstA
Characters.
The original OF Scotts character in
"The Heart OF Midlothian" was Helen
Walker. Charged at an early age with
the duty Of rearing and caring for her
little sister, she experienced the great
grief Of bringing the latter to years OF
maturity only TO see her charged with
child murder. At the trial Jeanie was
subpenaed TO give evidence. She knew
that her evidence, II truthfully given,
would condemn her sister, and yet,
even in the emergency, she declined TO
tell falsehood, swore 10 the truth and
saw her sister pronounced guilty and
sentenced TO the gallows
Immediately after the trial, as, &C.
cording to Scottish law, six weeks mus,
intervene between capital sentence
and its execution, Helen started on foot
TO London with q petition detailing the
circumstances Of the case and imploring
pardon for her sister. She reached
London, and after some trouble had an
interview with the duke Of Argyll, to
whom she made known the facts, and
, upon their confirmation pardon was
extended 10 her sister. tr-.
Henry Walker was buried In ths
churchyard Of Iron Gray, six miles
from Dublin, and on her tombstone
was an inscription, written at the re
quest Of some Of her friends, by Walter
Scott himself.--N. Y. World.

sELF-EvIDENT ARGUMENTS.

Concerning the cession of Goat Island to
the State for the use of railroads the ChroR-
icle says:
The arguments in favor OF such cesslon are
so self-evIdent that it is wholly unnecessary to
discuss them.
The Chronicles arguments are perhaps
more self-evdent than convincing. When
a newspaper assumes that there is but one
side to que estion upon which the public is
divided it Is presumed 10 have been con-
yinced by arguments that 1t deems unneces-
sary to discuss. So long as the Southern
Pacific Company holds or claims all the ap-
prOaches to Goat Island the proposition 10
make that island a general railroad ter
minus is simply proposition to hand it over
to the Southern Pacific Company.
Not very long ago the Southern Pacific
convinced ten members of the Board of
Supervisors that the comDany's business re-
quired that certain streets in this city should
be closed to public use The arguments ad-
vanced in support of this proposition were
so self-evident that the solid ten voted in
silence. The value of good deal of prop
erty in the vicinity of the railroad sixty-acre
grant was impaired that the company might
own the land which had formerly been pub
lie streets. Goat Island is an old want of
the Southern Pacific. Having secured all
the avenues of approach it could proceed
quietly to construct city of its own.

PROPOSED ISLAND COMMISSION.

The Cleveland programme now seems to
be to send a commission to the Hawaiian
Islands to ascertain how the natives sta nd
on the annexation proposition. What will
be doneif a majority should be found in the
negative no one as yet knows. The general
opinion is that the islands cannot be given
back to native rule. II the United States
does not annex them some nation will seek
to establish a protectoIate over them. The
ex-Queen viii be likely to favor any plan
which will give her nominal throne. She
would be more patriotic than the average
man or woman II she should consider the
question from an impersonal point of view.
The real question, then, is whether the
United States shall annex the islands, or
whether we shall drift into a policy that
will result In a European protectorate. AL
most fifty years ago much greater man
than Grover Cleveland announced the no
annexation policy. He thought that the
burning question of slavery might be elimi-
mated from national politics by an adherence
To- a no-more-territory declaration. AppIe-
hensiOn of a war for the preservation
of the Union in case the admission
OF new territory should continue the
contention as to whether new territories
should be free or slave formed at least a
reasonable basis Tor the no-extension policy.
But conditions have since changed. New
territory was annexed, the contention over
the spread Of slavery was continued, and
finally the war for the preservation of the
Union was fought The condition which in
1872 made an annexation policy perllous n o
longer exists. Daniel Webster thought
that the States composing the Union in
1872 were enough for great nation and that
peace with them was better than war as a
result Of acquiring more territory. If his
views had prevailed there would have been
no annexation of Texas. no acquisition of
the territory now constituting the Pacific
States, and consequently Z need to acquire
the Hawaiian Islands. But Webster's ideas
did not prevail. Great as he was, he could
not stand in the way of manifest destiny.
CleYeland's policy toward the islands NAV
make necessary war to prevent them from
falling into European hands, but In the end
the islands will become part of the Ameri-
can Union.

STILL IN THE FIELD.

There is movement on foot TO organize
q new head for the Republican party in this
city. The rank and file of the party saw
the State turned over to the Democrats last
November. not because a majority of the
people had lost confidence in the principles
of the party, but because they had lost con-
ldence in party leaders. 1t might be more
correct to say that the body Of Republicans
never had any confidence in the men who
figured as leaders in the last election. The
party boss and the party leaders are easily
distinguisbRble. The former controls pri-
maries, that he may dictate nominations to
conventions and through the election of his
candidates secure the distribution of the
spOils. The latter leads public opinion in
the way he believes 10 be right. He may
have something to say about the distribu-
ton Of offices, but he never seeks to place
Himself IN position TO profit pecuniarily by
the nomination of this OF that man by a
convention or by the appointment of this
or that man by the executive. The boss
seeks to acquire a kind of ownership In the
party. He spends money to carry primary
elections He argues that when he places
price on q nomination from a convention ne
controls he is only applying business
principles to politics. If he acquires
control OF convention by the use ot
money he asks if lie is not in equity
entitled TO handle the convention in the
way best suited to his interests. The people
answered this question in the negative in
1890 and again in 1892. They pronounced
against the boss system Of politics. They
declared that they would not elect men to
whom the bosses had sold nominations.
Neither would they elect men, otherwise re-
spectacle, who had accepted nOmin atiOns at
the hands Of the bosses.
Any attempt at the reorganization Of the
Republican party must recognize the verdict
Of the people against boss methods. The
party needs leaders who will inspire the
masses with confidence that the principles
of the party will be carried out. At the
last election the bosses were not In any
sense leaders They were not on record on
any great public crisis. They had no ideas
beyond the acquisition of Office. The am-
biton of one unfit man to be Senator cost
the party thousands of votes. There will
be need for the Republican party to be in
fighting trim in 1885, II Mr.. Cleveland car
ries out the principles of the platform upon
which he was elected, the Republican party
will by that time have another call to save
the country,
