The latest returns from last week 5
election do not tend to show that it was
less OF a Republican victory than had
been supposed. The majority for Nc
Kinley, for governor of Ohio, figures up
over $4,000, and naturally the talk about
him as a presidential candidate in 1896 is
resumed. There is much rejoicing in
New York ahd New Jersey over the
downfall of the unworthy rings that
have controlled things in those States.
while in Kansas and neighbOring States
there is n feeling of relief that the Popu-
lists and their crazy schemes have had
their day. The effects of the election
upon general business have been good,
probably for the reason that business
men do not see how congress men who
value their official heads can take Iadi-
cal steps in the direction of tariff reform
in the face of these returns. Such a
notion of the meaning of the voting has
penetrated even the usually dull intel
lect of the London Times, which re-
marks: "rhe election seems to point to
a reaction against Mr.. Cleveland and

THE ADMINISTRATION AND HAWAII

Renewed interest in the affairs of the
Sandwich islands has been aroused by
the publication of long letter from Sec

In which the whole Hawaiian business
from the outbreak of the trouble up to
date is reviewed. The secretary charges
Mr.. Stevens, the former United States
minister to the islands, with having con-
spired to overthrow the queens govern
ment; he condemns the present govern
ment of the islands as revolutionary he
advises the withdrawal of the annexa-
tion treaty, and, in conclusion, SAYS the
United States is in duty bound to assist
in the restoration of the former govern
are:
A careful consideration of the facts
will, / think, convince you that the treaty
which was Withdrawn from the Senate

Can the United States consistently IN

independence of Hawaii, while not re-

last to acquire sovereignty over them by
force ana fraud.
1t is taken for granted by the press and
the public that the giving-out of this let

ever is concerned that this is the admin

of protest has been raised all over the
country. The New York Sun says, with
its characteristic yigor:

SUPREME COURT DECISIONS.

The decisions in three Addison county
cases heard at the recent general term of
the supreme court in Montpelier have
been handed down.
The first was that of Phelps B. Smiths
eXr VS.. Nancy NJ. Smith-the famous
BridpOrt will case. The case was tried in
the county court in August, 1892, result
Ing in verdict for the executor; that is,
the jury decided for the validity of the
Will. The contentious of the contestant
were that Mr.. Smith had not capacity to
make will and that ne was unduly ihflu-
enced; but only the question of ncapaci-
ty was submitted to the jury. The su-
preme court now says that the Jury should
also have had submitted to them the ques-
tion of undue influence, and sends the
case back to the county court for new
trial. Hon. +. r. Hard of Burlington,
eX-Gov Dillingham; of Waterbury, Gen.
Grandey of Vergennes and Mr.. Bliss
were the counsel for the proponent-the
eXecutOr-in the trial in county court,
and Hon. Henry Ballard of Burlington
and Messrs. Stewart S Wilds of Middle.
bury appeared for the contestant.
The second case decided was that of
Abram WilllamsOn's admr. VS. Curtis II.
James of Cornwall. The problem be-
fore the court was the meaning of the
will of Mr.. williamson, whose daughter
was the mother of the defendant, Mr..
james, who inherited, or supposed he
did, piece of land from her. The court
decides that Mr.. James is entitled to the
land. w. III. Button, Esq, argued the
case for the administrator, and did it
well; while Messrs. Stewart e. Wilus
represented Mr.. James.
