The Mining News laments that Nc
Gee was not better known in Custer
county, and assures its readers that had
he had larger circle of acquaintances
down here, the result would have been
different. The News man may dry his
tears and thank his lucky star tha his
candidate was not better known, for it is
a notorious fact that Mciee lost half
dozen votes during the few hours he
passed in Custer about ten days before
election.

to precisely the same charge that
he had made against Minister Stevens,
OF unlawfully undertaking tosoverthrow
an established government in a foreign
country by intrigue and intimidation.
Both the things happened which Mr..
Cleveland had he been a far-seeing
statesman, would have anticipated-his
method of righting the wrong proved
an iinglorious failure, and large spart
OF the people dissented from his con-
clusion that there was any wrong to
right and today the self sufficient ex-
ecutlve is in the humiliaitng position
of being compelled to go before Con-
gress and confess that his scheme for re-
storing the Queen has utterly failed.
What he arrogantly undertook to do
himself he now wants Congress to do for
him. 1t is perfectly safe to say that
Congress will not do it. The end of
the attempt to restore the Queen has
come. From the pinnacle of ominipo-
tence upon which Mr.. Cleveland had
undertaken to seat himself be has gone
down all in heap He ought to learn
from his experience that he is not the
whole government of the United States,
and that there is a legislative branch =,
which is entitled to a voice in determin-
ing the policy of this country toward
other nations.

The President admits in his message
that his plan for restoring the Queen of
the Sandwich Islands, whatever it may
have been, has failed, and turns the
whole matter over to Congress to deal
with as it sees fit This is what Mr..
Cleveland ought to have done in the
first place. AS soon as he was convinced
that the revolution at Honolulu was in
spired by the represen tative .of the
United States he should have laid the
facts before Congress and left it to that
body TO say what steps should be taken
to right the wrong that he protested to
believe had been done by our represen-
tative. Instead of adopting that open
and manly policy he went to work Sc
cretly, without taking Congress or the
country into his confidence, to undo
what he conceived was a wrong done to
the Queen of Hawaii, by process, the
chief feature of which seems to have
been intimidation. If Grover Cleveland
had been an infallible being and the
correctness of his conclusion admitted of
no doubt, the method he adopted to ac-
complish what he thought ought to be
done would have been bad one for this
reason, if for no other, that there was
no certainty that it would be effective
Congress could, if it had seen
fit, have adopted method which would
surely have been eficacious, because
it could employ force. Cleveland could
not do that without violating the con-
stitution But Cleveland was not in
fallible. His conclusions in regard to the
way in which the Provisional govern
ment was created were liable to
prove erroneous or be so considered
by a large number of his countrymen,
and hence he exposed himself

The despatch from Minister Willis
which President Cleveland suppressed
on the ground that it's publication
would be Incompatible with the interests
of the country, is generally understood
to have contained inform alton that Mr..
Willis had found the situation very
different from what Paramount Blount's
report had represented it. The incom-
patibility was not SO much IN conflict
with the interests of the country as with
Mr.. Cleveland's argument contained in
his message. But we suppose that
incompatibility with Cleveland's views
is the same thing in the opinion of the
executive head of the government as in
compatibility with the interests of the

Let mo tell you what one old woman
hiss done at Chicago while attending the
Worlds fair-the greatest fair ever held
on this planet.
An old lady who last April was fired
with the enthusiasm Of this progressive
AGE, which she entered 7s years ago, de-
teymined TO 10 TO the Worlds fair. She
had never been beyond the limits Of OF
Aeko county. N, Y. She had mot the
mpney to pay her fair to Chieagoand did
ndt know what she wonld do If she suc-
eaeded ia getting there. First she tried
tolborroW the money of those she called
friends, but all discouraged her and
thought her almost insane TO 90. But
she was determined, and after many re-
btffs she succeeded in borrowing and
wrote TO friend in Chicago to find her
a place where she could work end have
tiqa privilege of day or two each week
to aEtend the fair,
iA place was found for her by this
friend, and Mrs, Preston, the old lady,
came from her home in Otsago county
TO the big city Of Chicago, Her friend
met her on arrival and took her to
where she was to help in the house,
Bnt the fortunes Of Mrs, Preston were
in the ascendant, One day, as shs was
looking about the fair, she went intothe
n0ld Time Home and Kitehsn,H There
she espied large wool wheel, with the
soft white wool rolls lying on the bench.
The sight was too much for Mrs. Pres
ton II took her back to her girlish as
seciatiansa She forgot where she was.
This surroundings seemed like her old
homs. Stepping up to the wheel, she
tenderly picked up one Of the soft white
Eolls and began 10 spin yarn from It, as
fshe had doRe in the olden time, That
aet was the passport to the hearts Of the
ladies who had charge Of the building,
and after getting a release from her EN-
ployPr Mrs, Preston was at once installed
as queen Of the spinning wheel, She ex-
hibits to the daily thTong the way the
wool was GonYertedinto yarn long years
ago.
Sic had beeH piI0tegrap aphea with The
wheel, and her photos are for sale at
the olden home. From these she re-
ceiyes revenue, and the lady manager
pays her well for being there to show
the working of the wheel, She has been
honored with calls from high dignitaFies
fFom all parts Of the world, One wealthy
old gentleman wanted to take her home
with him to Denver. But she prefers
TO return 10 her childhood's home, happy
that she has accomplished what she un-
deFtook, and is honoTed fer her parse-
Yerence, She has won hosts Of friends
and has made more than enough money
to pay back what she borrowed. She
will return to her home with an expert
ence that few younger women have had,
but which every young woman might

perience shows what d woman can do,
