THE Governors of the Southern States
in convention at Richmond, last week,
an appeal to President Cleve-
land in behalf of the commercial inter
ests of the South. This they subse-
quently decided not to present for reasons
not stated, yet the subject matter is
interesting. The address notes the fact
that in spite of climatic conditions, the
rigorous North is far in advance of her
sister States of the sunny South in all
lines of commercial progress, and then
attempts to cite reasons for the condi-
tion. OF course, their chief grievance
is against the Republican party, and
they allege that it has been the policy of
the Republican party to slander the
South and to appoint to consulships
men unfriendly to the South.
The South will witness the prosperity
it longs for when it can point to the fact
that laws are obeyed and that all persons
are secure in their rights while living
under the Southern Stars. They COM
plain that the truth has been told rather
than that they have been slandered.
Capitalists making investments 90
among law abiding people, and when
the South becomes such, there will be
prosperity come to them as it has to the
North.

WE have had six weeks of "Four
Y ears more of Grover" and if the present
pace is kept up, history will have an odd
four years to record. Mr.. Cleveland s
grotesque Cabinet has already written
itself asinine and picturesque, and it
may be inferred that the Cabinet is only
obeying suggestions from headquarters.
Secretaries Gresham and Carlisle cried
out that the allowances for the ex-
penses of the United States Commits
sioners to the Behring Sea tribunal of
arbitration now in session at Paris, were
scandalous. But their picayune squeal
was shown to have been simply an
economical posing for effect, both un-
patriotic and absurd. The Commission
ers have conducted themselves as BELTS
counsel for such client as this great
country, have spared no trouble or ex-
pense to get evidence.
Then the order went forth from Post
master General -Bissell that the lists of
appointments to fourth class post offices
should no longer be made public. Such
star chamber methods were too much for
the stomach of Democrats, and in
obedience to protests, the ukase was
withdrawn, much after the manner
that the President in his former term
withdrew his famous rebel flag order.
The attempt, however, to conceal from
the public the anti-civil service reform
operations of Mr.. Maxwell's bureau
must be serious reflection upon the
sincerity of the second Cleveland admin
istration.
Another blunder more serious still in
Mr. Cleveland's official household is that
of Attorney General Olney in failing to
resign as counsel in two railroad COM
panies, either of which he may be re-
quired to prosecute as the Nations
attorney at salary Of $4,000 year,
and at the same time defend as their
private counsel at salary of S25, 900 a
wear.

THE American flag which has waved
over Honolulu since the protectorate
was established by Minister Stevens,
has been hauled down by order of Com
missioner Blount, who was sent by
President Cleveland to ascertain the
Hawaiian sentiment on the subject of
annexation. The explanation of Blount's
course has not reached this country, but
large amount of indignation will await
its coming. The flag was hoisted by
Hawaiian invitation, and the action of
Commissioner Blount is tantamount to
surrender of the claims of America
upon the Islands This marks the first
retreat of the United States from terri
tory over which their flag has been
raised, and to the blot of shame which
attaches to the act, Grover Cleveland and
his personal representative are entitled.
There is another phase of the matter,
too, which will receive attention: The
Constitution distinctly provides that
Ministers and Consuls and other such
officers, shall be appointed by and with
the advice of the Senate. But Mr..
Cleveland, without one particle of
statutory authority, and in defiance of
the Constitution, commissions Mr..
Blount to supersede the United States
Minister at Honolulu, distinctly saying
that Mr.. Blount's authority sis para
mount"
In giving Mr. Blount such alleged
authority the President has, in the
opinion of many, laid himself open to
impeachment. A number Of the men,
bers of the Senate Committee on Fol-
eign Relations have been asked if the
President had any right to supersede
the United States Minister at Honolulu
in the way he has done, and without
exception every member replied that 80
far as they knew there was not particle
of legalized authority for the President s
action and that Mr.. Blount's order was
in defiance to the Constitution and laws
of the United States.
