ALExAN DRIA, V "A.
THURSDAY EVENING. FEB. 8, 1898.

THE FARMERS of the country should
thank the flibusters in the U. 5.
House ofRepresentatives who last Mon
day prevented the anti-option bill from
coming up in that body. for with that
bin in operation their lot would be a
hard one at best, and would be unbear-
able if, in addition, as is now threaten
ed, Great Britain, in retaliation for the
inimical spirit evinced toward her by
his government, shall impose prohlo-
DRY tariff tax upon their produce.
With foreign market shut OFT, and
reverted from selling their crops here
until harvested when the home market
would be glutted, and then to receive
the diminished price therefor IN SILVER
dollars worth sixty cents, farming in the
United States would be a decidedly nr-
profitable business.

As ANTICIPATED, the bill to repeal
the Sherman silver act was killed in the
House to-day, as it was in the Senate
last Monday. Its fate will be the same
in the next Congress, so there will be
NO need of calling an extra session OF
that body to act on any such bill. But
th;s only makes the need of such call
the more urgent, in order that the tax :
may be taken off the necessarles OF lie

QUEEN LIS SIDE.-A letter has been re-
ceiycd at St. Louis from John f. Colburn
minister of the Interior, of Hawaii, to be
forward to President Harrison. in which he
outlines the position of the deposed Queen.
The bill protests against the action of United
States Minister Stevens and the Commander of
the Boston, and says the dcthronement Of the
Queen was uncalled for and unwarrlnted, and
was violation of the rights of the native
Hawaiians. He says the Queen and her Cabi-

THE DEMOCRATS are willing to attrl-
butte the nomination of Judge Jackson
for a seat on the Supreme Bench to the
best of motives on the part Of President
Harrison and, if republicans would have
it otherwise he must lay the blame upon
them. for they say that in making it he
was impelled by the ignoble desire for
"getting even" with his personal oppo-
nents in his own party. If what they
saw be true, however, it only adds am
other instance to the many that prove
the truth of the old saw that when a
certain class of people fall out, honest
men Get their dues.

AS STATED in Yesterdays GAZETTE,
Mr.. Morgan of Alabama on that day ln-
troduced in the U. s. Senate y bill, not
only to annex Hawaii, but also any
other foreign country with which this
government is at peace, but in which a
few disnaturalizcd Americans, with the
assistance of troops from I. ;. ships
NAV, for their own special and selfish
purposes. organize 4 revolution and de-
pose the legitimate government thereof.
Though Mr.. Morgan risked his own
life, and that of all the people OF his
section, and lost all his and their prop
erty, in defense of home rule, he would
now enforce American rule upon the
people of the Sandwich Islands without
even so much rs listening to what they
may have to say upon the subject.

CONGRESSMAN who fought and bled
in defence of States rights now, appar-
entity at least, have no hesitancy what
ever in voting to subordinate State, to

do so. They vote for the substitution OF

taxing State, for the benefit of national
banks, for bills 10 make commerce IN
States subject to the rules and regula-

THE New YORK Herold, urging Con
eress TO pass the bill to repeal the sher-
man silver act, says "our exhortation Is
that the democratic party-its leaders,
Congressman and President-elect-oe
faithful and loyal to campaign prom
ises." Just so. But the chief of those
promises was the removal of, or the re-
duction in, the tariff tax on the necess''-
ries of life. Compared with that, the
repeal of the silver act is of minor con-
sideration for it would be ofiitilc or no
concern to man whether he pay for
what he has to buy in orderto live with
gold, silver or paper, if to do so take
all the money he has, good or bad.

THE LATEST news from Hawaii Is
lust what was expected. The so-called
revolution there was no revolution at
all. but simple seizure of the govern
ment of that country by the U. 5. MIN
lister there and the military force at his
command. The legitimate government
and the people of country protested
against the seizure, but agreed to sub
nit 10 it, in order to save bloodshed'
until the authorities at Washington
could he heard from. The first act OF
Mr.. Cleveland, after he shall have been
inaugurated, should be to recall Minister
Stevens and have meted out to him the
punishment he so we'll deserves.

WHAT kind Of a governor is

pointing his friends, and his most
inveterate enemy can find little in

brought before him receives his
careful attention. He does not

New YORK Tribune: Several
grand army posts have been
prompt to condemn and protest
against the desecration of the Get
tysburg battlefield by persons to
whom a dollar appears to be far
more interesting than the scene and
memorials of sublime sacrifices and
a noble triumph. Popular hostil-
ity to this sordid project deserves
to be encouraged in every way. It
is not doubtful that multitude of
persons in all parts of the country
are indignant and grieved at this
display of contemptuous indiffer-
ence to sacred claims, but their
feelings need to find public and
emphatic expression, to the end
that other venerable places and
relics may be secured against fu-
ture invasion, even if it be too late
to save Gettysburg.

Dark for Home Rule.

LONDON, June 24.-The pros
poets of home rule for Ireland are
darkening. Almost every hour
since Mr.. Gladstone presented his
new financial scheme has brought
disheartening news of wavering in
the ranks, of mutinous threats of
defiance. or plots Of detection at
decisive moments, of boastfulness
among the foes and discourage
ment among the friends of the
Irish cause. The promise of the
situation to-day is that the home
rule bill will hardly leave the COM
mittee before next Christmas, and
that it will come back to the house
of commons ngled and worth
less document, which neither gov
eminent nor opposition will care
to acknowledge as it's own. New
financial clauses of the home rule
bill which we're presented by Mr..
Gladstone in the house of COM
mons on Thursday, have not been
accepted by any party as either
clear or adequate. The exact OBJ
ject of the plan now proposed as a
substitute for the old one is a
mystery which even Mr.. Glad
stone could not enlighten. The
Liberals and anti-Parnellites, al
though less open in their criti-
cisms than the Parnellites, say
that the new clauses are far from
satisfactory, although not so bad
as to justify the wrecking Of the
bill. The Unionists express con
idence that the last proposals will
be found to be fully as inexpedi-
ent as the first ones and are pre-
pairing pages Of amendments cal
culated to illustrate the correctness
of this opinion.

A Conplaisant Court.
Minneapolis has Just

minneapolis mas just been
treated to singular exhibition Of
the administration Of justice. "a
number Of young men were ar
rested a few days ago on the.
charge Of burglary and thieving
on a large scale carried on with
great industry and adroitness for.
a number of months. Being
brought into court they all plead
guilty Of the ofenses charged, and
were fined by the court $25 each.
As they were all respectfully con
nected, . their fines we're promptly
paid and the promising young
criminals restored to the bosom of
their respective and respectable
families. If they had not be-
longed to respectable families the
young thieves would have been
sent to the reform school or the
penitentiary. But being well con
nected, having been well brought
up, not having been tempted by
necessity or driven by want into
the commission of crime in other
words, being absolutely without
other excuse than their own innate
viciousness for their midnight bur
glaries and wholesale populations,
their felonies are treated as the
merest trifes and punished by the
imposition Of merely nominal
fines. If they had been youths
bred in poverty, who had never
enjoyed the advantages of educa-
ton and good and pious exam
Piles, and had no respectable rela-
tives to intercede for them with
the complaisant court and pay
fines, there would have been no
straining Of the quality of mercy
for them, but the law would have
been allowed to ''take its course"
The moral of this remarkable ex-
hibition of police court justice is
so obvious that we need not waste
time in pointing 1t out.-Miraaae-

cause it affords a yearly opportunity
for our innumerable budding orators to
let loose their pentup eloquence upon

to the other, but the grandest of all
will occur at the Worlds Fair grounds,
Chicago, when the exposition manage
ment, backed by the great city, will
make a stupendous effort to surpass all
the gatherings hitherto held on that
day. Can you observe the day more
tittingly, or more protitably, than by
spending it in viewing what has been
accomplished by our country in the
way Of educational, material and artis-
tic progress since the foundation of the
republic? Here will be the United

O, YES, Canada has a model
government. Corruption in office
is unknown there. For instance,
the sum of $175,000 was voted for
the purpose of building two bridges
across the Lachine canal, leading
into Montreal. The work of build
ing this canal has already cost
100000 and is not half completed.
Competent engineers estimated
that the original amount appropri-
ated was amply sufficient to build
the bridge.
