pears that he had recently indica

thought nothing, of these melan.
cboly moods, and on the morping
Of the killing he was helping his

JAMES GILLESPIE BLAINE has
gone to join the silent majority.
Although death has removed from
the world a character who was al
ways prominent in everything he
undertook, it was not unexpected.
The prime cause of his death was
Bright's disease, and his death
would not have been unexpected
had it occurred ten years ago. His
name will ever hold place in the
annals Of political history as the
most popular leader in the Repub-
lican party.

The Hawaiian annexation ques-
ton is the all absorbing theme for
discussion at the National Capitol.
The President thinks protectorate
advisable pending an investigation
of the causes which led to the re-
volt, the dethronement of Queen
LILIUoKALANI, and the establish
ment of a provisional government.
But if nothing else will satisfy the
provisional commissioners now on
their way from Honolulu to Wash
ington, why, annexation goes. Ot
one thing there is no installing the
sentiment at Washington, and that
is that no other country will be per-
nitted to absorb the islands
