Trenton's Monument.

TRENTON, \. j., Oct. l9.-New
Jerseys greatest day dawns with
the city crowded to its capacity
with the deniZens of its own and
neigh boring cities. They are gath
ering to witness the dedication of
the Trenton Battle Monument, and
to commemorate as well the ami
Versary Of the surrender of Corn
wallis at Yorktown.
The President, the Nice-Presi-
dent and the other Washington
guests are to be received at the
State House by Governor Werts
and after the dedicatOry ceremo-
MES they will be entertained at Il
collation. in Turner Hall. The visit
ing governors and StatfS will also
be received at the State House by
Governor Werts, and will be served
with luncheon IN Masonic Temple.
For fifty years the subject of the
erection of monument to COM
memOrate the battle Of Trenton
has been discussed. 1t was not
until May I, 1881. that matters
assumed any shape. An apprOpri-
alton of $4,000 was secured from
the state of New Jersey, and after
some delay the Congress of the
United States made an appropriate
ton of $4,000, and individual sub
scriptiOns to the amount Of $4,000
were secured for the proposed
monument.
The style Of the column erected
is known as the ROman-DOriC.
The base Of the pedestal is 80 feet
inches square, and, rising from
the pedestal is a hollow fluted col
umn of handsome proportions, the
top of which forms an observatory.
The top OF the granite work is l3j
feet above the foundation, and
with the - foot statue it is l4S
feet in height, or $50, feet above
the street level. The foundation is
of concrete, Ii feet deep, and the
whole monument weighs more
than 100000 pounds. The white
granite used in the construction of
the monument is from HallOwell
Me.
There is a room inside the
pedestal, 10 feet across, of cruel
form shape. In this room there are
inches, designed to receive such
revolutionary and historical
trophies as may be presented to the
association.
Access TO the observatory at the
top of the monument will be had
by means of an electric elevator.
The view from the observatory is
one of great beauty, the country
for miles around being spread out
like a panorama. Thirteen cleo
trio lights will crown the top Of the
observatory, and it is hoped that
at least five of them will be light
ed every night.
There will be two bronze statues
at the doorway, one representing
an infantryman and the other a
cavalryman. On the die above the
base are blanks on which will be
placed four bronze reliefs of events
connected with the battle of Tren-
ton and the Revolutionary war.
The principal ornament is a large
bronze statue of Washington, which
stands on the top of the historical
shaft, and was given by the state
of New York through legislative
appropriation. The New York
troops participated in this battle,
which practically settled the fate
of the country.

On his return from Samoa, ex-Gov.
Ormsbee made a short call at Hawaii,
and this is what he tells press cor
respondent of his impressions of the
feeling in that country:
"During a stay of nine hours at
Honolulu 1 was thoroughly convinced
that there is a general desire among
the people of Hawaii to be annexed
to the United States and give terri
torial government. Everything was
quiet then, and [ learned that there is
great anxiety on the part of a MAORI
ty of the people to be annexed. Min
lister Stevens expressed himself to me
as feeling confident that this what will
be done. From other sources, how
ever, | found that the deposed queen
and her friends were more favorable
to the English government"

the sooner the better, as the country
ought to know at the earliest possible
moment what the policy of the new
administration is to be. Six weeks

istration on those very lines on which
there were the greatest professions
during the campaign.

Last year Democratic supervisors in
New York made a pretension of re-
districting Kings county in that state.
In this division they put over one hun
dred thousand population in one Re
publican district, while in democrat
ic district they put only thirty three
thousand, one third as many. An ar-
peal was maze to the courts and the
nefarious matter is decided illegal
Fortunate in a time when corrupt
politicians will do all sorts of deviltry
that there is some honor yet among
judges and courts.

The labor troubles in Lancashire,
England, which ended by compro
mise, take rank as the greatest strug
gle between capital and labor which
the world has ever seen. The cam
paign, which lasted twenty weeks,
involved directly and Indirectly 125,
900 employees, and cost in loss of wag
es alone 100000. Each side was
equally willing at the outsetto engage
in test of strength, and at last they
were just as glad to call time with
honors even. Great sacrifices have
been endured, with no result save
that both parties to the conflict have
had all desire for fight taken out of
them, and the advantages of mutual
compromise are, for the time being,
fully conceded just shade more than
the masters, but, there has really been
no victory for either side.

Chicago has chosen Carter Harrison
for mayor. He will represent the
great city of the west during the
worlds fair. Elected by the votes of
the lawless classes, with Mike Nc
Donald, the notorious gambler, for
his first lieutenant and adviser, the
prospect held out to the view of the
respectable classes is of the most de-
pressing character. The worst ele-
ments secured Mr.. Harrison's election
and it will be strange indeed if they
do not surge to the front and make
the coming summer memorable one
for lawlessness and debauchery. I'm
der the most favorable circumstances
extraordinary efforts will be required
to keep the vicious classes in subjec
ton during the fair. Now the difficulty
will be doubled The injury to the
fair and the city will be incalculable
if feeling Of insecurity spreads itself
over the country and finds its way
into continental Europe.-Vt. Jour nal.
