A Democratic Celestial.

The most aristocratic, exclusive, and demo.
cratic of people are the Chinese, says the
Washington Post. And theirs is the land of
topsyturveydom. where men wear skirts and
women pants; where the compass points south
and white is the color of mourning: where a
man S relatives are punished for his crimes:
where Doctors pay stops when his patients
get sick; where children work and old men
play. something OF that peculiar Oriental
flavor attaches itself TO the members Of the
Chinese legation in Washington. In official
ceremony they are strict observers of the very
letter of etiquette; in private life they are sim
pie and unaffected, with the joyous DISPOSE
ton of lot of school boys. young
lady was walking in the Geological park
a few days ago when the Chinese minister
passed her gong out. He was followed by
a lot of boys. The young lady was worried
lest the boys were aOout to do something
rude to the minister, and she called one of
them to her.
DO you know who that is?" she asked.
Yep; Chinaman, was the laconic reply,
He is the Chinese minister said she i'm

Stevens Plea For Annexation.

No one can read in the December mum
Der OF the North American Review the
plea of ex-Alinister Stevens for annexa.
ton of the Hawaiian Islands TO the
United States without reaching the
| conclusion that he has not been thor
/ oughly honest in the public statements
/ he has made in respect to the part he
/ played in the Hawaiian revolution, by
| which the monarchy was overthrown
and the provisional government was es-
| tablished. He has pretended that the
| leaders Of the revolution did not know
what his sentiments in respect to annexa-
ton were, but member of the provis-
ionaI government states that it was well
known what they were. 1t would have
been impossible for man like Mr.. Ste
vens to have kept his opinions upon a
matter of such importance at Honolulu
from becoming generally known. The
question of annexation was a subject that
was frequently discussed, and all of Mr..
Stevens associations were with those
who favored annexation.
In his plea for annexation Mr.. Stevens
utterly ignores the rights of the natives
Va Ia " cllAs 1lC AAtGS LDb oGELA " bA4Llh
they have any rights, although greatly in
the majority, simply because they are not
as civilized as the Americans and other
foreigners who are residents of the
islands, and who have secured large
property interests there. He takes the
ground that the missionaries, traders and
planters of foreign birth have greatly i'm
proved the productiveness and trade of
the islands, and that, therefore, they
alone should be consulted as to the kind
of a government the islands should have.
They have control of the schools, courts,
newspapers and business, and in his
opinion, they should have control of the
government. They number about 10000 in
all, while the native population numbers
about $4,000.
Mr.. Stevens idea seems to be that no
respect should be paid to the wishes of
the native Hawaiians-that their govern
ment should be taken away from them be-
cause it is not a government that
pleases the foreigners who have made
their homes in the islands, and he thinks
that this country should help the Ameri-
can and other foreign residents to desDoil
the natives of their rights. According to
Mr.. Stevens view, force represents right
and that because the Hawaiians are weak
and inoffensive they should not be con-
suited in any matter pertaining to the
islands. And yet Mr.. Stevens says he
had no part in the overthrow of the mon
archy, and declares that the report of
Commissioner Blount is so prejudiced as
to be unworthy of belief.
1t did not require the Presidents Ha-
waiian message to make known the kind
of a man Mr.. Stevens is. What he has
written himself shows him in his true
character.

The Hornblower Nomination.

1t takes the judiciary committee Of the
Senate long time to find out whether
young Mr.. Hornblower is q fit man to be
an associate justice of the supreme court.
II has been about four months since his
nomination was sent to the Senate, and
/ yet congress adjourned for the holidays
/ without any intimation from the judiciary
/ committee as 10 whether it would be re-
{ ported favorably or unfavorably.
[ Nobody seems to know just what kind
[ Of a fight is being made against the nomi-
nation. BY some it is supposed that Sen
ator Hill is trying TO defeat il because
Mr.. Hornblower opposed the election of
Judge Maynard to the court of appeals in
New York. Judge Maynard is Senator
Hills great friend, and Mr.. Hornblower
was one Of those who stated openly and
often that Judge Maynard was not fit
man to be on the bench of the highest
court of New York. But unless Senator
Hill can show other and better reasons it
is not probable he can defeat Mr.. Horn
blowers nomination, though he may Sue
coed in delaying its confirmation.
II is also said that there is a good deal
of opposition to Mr.. Hornblower among.
some of the older lawyers of the Senate.
They don't think that such fat plum
should be given TO so young a man, espe-
cially as he has rendered no particular
service to his party. Hints have been
thrown out that MIR. Horn blowers record
as a lawyer is not such as TO justify
him in aspiring to so high
place. He has not had many cases
before the supreme court, and
he lost nearly all of the cases he has
had. The fact that he lost cases, how
ever, ought not to be brought against
against him unless it could be shown that
they were lost through lack. of legal abil-
ity or neglect.
AS a matter of fact, however, Mr.
HornD blower is not lacking in ability. He
has made his mark at the New York bar,
and it is asserted that he stands in the
front rank of the lawyers of that city
Notwithstanding his youth.
The judiciary committee ought to do
something with the nomination. 1t ought
to report it and let the Senate take what
ever action it thinks advisable. The
services of another associate JUS
tice are needed because there
are many cases waiting the courts action.
The justices complain that they have
more to do than they can do as quickly as
it ought to be done, and they are anxious
that the vacancy shall be filled as soon as
possible. The nomination of Mr.. Horn
blower ought to have been confirmed or
rejected weeks ago. If it should be re-
jected the President would quickly make
another nomination.
