This is indeed news. and especially to old

who was for many years q ship news collec-

to what that oval window was used for, he said
that many years before, and before tho telc-

The New Postmaster.

The positive merit Of MIR. CHARLES W.
DAYToNs appointment as Postmaster Of
this city, Is largely matter OF future his
tory, with the chances in its favor. Its
negative value is decidedly great. upon two
points, each supplying special reason for
facilitating President CLEVELAND on the
result of several months Of administrative
and political elaboration.
In the first place. Mr.. DAYTON, prom
lnent member Of Tammany Hall. is not
taken from the group Of bowling anti
Democratic vindictiveness known US tho
anti-snappers. formed Of small number OF
gentlemen who for ten years have steadily
opposed the brilliant and all-conquerlng
progress OF the Empire States Democracy.
Neither Is the new appointmentin accord
ance with the rules laid down by the
ScHURz-GoDKIN Civil Service Reform As
ISOLATION. The present Postmaster being a
stalwart working Republican. a mechanical
old hack In the Chinese cranks' eyes. was.
Of course. unfit for Office and had to 60.
The next man for favor, IL the CLEVELAND
standard was to be kept on tho level that
30 tickled its bearers In 1884. when PEAR
SON stayed In Office. was Mr.. JAMES GAYLRR.
Mr.. VAN COTT's assistant. But 1t wasn't

British adherents In the House OF Commons
stand on very different footing from that
occupied by the Liberals elected In Decem-
Der. 1885. Now every Gladstonian member
holds his seat under an explicit pledge to
his constituents not only to accept the
home rule principle, but also In the applica-
ton OF 1t to accept the guidance OF his
leader save where the reasons for desert
ing him are glaring and decisive In tho
eyes OF his constituents themselves No
such reasons are as yet forthcoming.
There Is nowhere among the Gladstonian
voters the faintest sign Of dissatisfaction
with the Home Rule bill On tho contrary,
when Sir EDWARD REED ventured TO as
sumo q critical attitude. his Welsh con-
stituents promptly notified him that they
did not share his doubts. So long as this
state of things continues, 30 long as the
support OF the Liberal masses Is assured to
Mr.. GLADSTONE, naturalization would
mean nothing short OF political ruin to all
Gladstonian members except tho two or
three to whom the Unionlsts could offcr
seats In the next House. Few, indeed. ore
the seats available for such purpose.
Az for the notion that the Natlonalists.

A Plain Reduction to Absurdity.

the annexation OF Hawaii Is unconstitu-
eional, that ends the matter. Golden as
may be the opportunity. 1t must BIO dropped.
Judge COOLEY and few other distin-
ruisbed expounders Of constitutional and
international law. are laboring to prove
that the annexation OF Hawaii is unconstl-
tutional because there Is no exact prece-
dent for it In tho history OF previous acqui-
sitions Of territory by the United States.
We showed yesterday that tho cases OF
Texas and Alaska. taken together. afford
m almost ideal precedent for all tho con-
ditlons In the present question. What is
lacking in the way Of precedent In the
Texas instance. Is supplied by Alaska.
What ia lacking In the Alaska instance. Is
pupplied by Texas.
But even supposing that Judge CooIEY
and his chorus arc technically right. that
no previous instance Of annexation affords
On exaot constitutional precedent for TAX
ting In Hawaii. and that tho Hawaiian
project Ia therefore unconstitutional and
impossible. what follows?
When Alaska was annexed there was no
constitutional warrant or exact precedent
for that measure OF American extension.
The circumstances in tho Alaska 1ase diff
Florida, or OF tho Louisiana purchase. The
annexation of Alaska was unconstitutional.
and our title to the territory and Its dis
tant islands is not good In law.
When Texas was annexed there was no
constitutional precedent for that measure
OF American extension. The circumstances
In the Texas case differed radically from
those distinguishing tho Florida and Lou
asisna purchases The annexation OF Texas
was unconstitutional. and the right OF that
great and prosperous State to membership
IN the Union Is clouded by direct viola
ton OF the organic law.
Going back still further, when tho vast
regions known rs the Louisiana Territory
were acquired by purchase. there was abso- 4
lutely no precedent for annexation In any
form or by any method. There was no pro-
vision In the Constitution for such meas
uro OF American extension. The Louisiana
purchase was unconstitutional. and SO. OF
course. was the Florida purchase.

because OF the great necessities Of the Gov.
