What's the matter with Willis? 1t is
abundantly evident that he is not all
right. He was sent to Hawaii to fright
the great wrong" was backed up by
the impartial" report of Paramount
Blount, several vessels of the United
States navy, and the President and Sec
rotary Gresham, yet he hesitates. Ger
tain contingencies" have arisen which
induce him to communicate with the
government before proceeding further
What the contingencies are it is not diff.
cult to guess. Instead of finding a gov
ernmentsthat was so feeble that it could
not stand alone day after the sympathy
of the United States was withdrawn,
as Paramount Blount represented would
be the case, he found one amply able
to take care of itself. He found it, too,
enjoying the confidence and respect of
the great majority of the intelligent and
reputable inhabitants of the island. To
get rid of this government he found he
had got to do something more than in
innate to it the wishes of Mr.. Cleveland
and Mr.. Gresham. He found he had got
to use force. That is probably the con
tingency which has arisen which makes
Willis want further advice. Willis made
the mistake of believing Blount's report.

The Circuit Rider During the War.

When the war broke out times changed
to lar ge extent, and the preacher hav-
ing--to travel on both sides of the neutral
strip that extended along the banks of
the Potomac, was often challenged by
the partisans on either side whether he
was Unionist or secessionist. To the
questions he always replied that, please
God, he was Methodist preacher and
intended to stay one. Such answers
usually settled the matter. Upon one oc-
casion in the little settlement of Geno-
town a mob, headed by lanky old
mountaineer, came down to the church
to mob the preacher and stop the service
under the impression that the preacher
was a Union spy in disguise. The
preacher "however, insisted on pre- ach-
ing, and after holding forth vigorously
at the leader of the OBJ and diplomati-
cally avoiding political subjects he noted
signs of weakness in the old man, and
saying to himself, "Well we've preached
the devil half way out of him, let's. pray
out, the other half" he called on tine
leader of the mob to lead in prayer. The
old fellow got down and prayed like
a bishop, and at the conclusion of the SER
vice went out and dipsersed the mob and
promised to join the preacher in an
eight weeks revival meeting beginning
from date.
= The young circuit rider had number
of experiences with the soldiers on either
side of the existing unpleasantness. They
were not so amenable to reason as were
the lalty, and on one occasion he met a
gray clad rough rider of Gen. I'm boden S
regiment well down towards Dixie and
came near losing his horse and saddle
bags, which made up the whole of his
worldly wealth. The cavalrymen got the
drop on him and insisted on Il very un-
fair exchange of mounts and acquire
ments, but the willy minister caught his
opponent off his guard and hit him a
good straight armed Methodist blow nm
der the point f the jaw, and after a
snort, sharp but decisive tussle-rode off
with, the cavalryman's revolver, refrain
ing from giving him the benefit of it's
contents, although strongly tempted to
do so. The next day he rode boldly unto
Gen. lmboden's camp, called on the COM
Inander and returned I'll revolver, with
the, story OF how he had come to get hold
of it. A drumhead court martial soon
taught the soldier better manners
towards itinerant minister's and the
muscular preacher was provided with a
pass that afterwards carried him safe
through the lines, until at the end of a
SIX months term of service he returned
to his home north of the line very much
the wiser for his first experience as n
circuit riding minister. { Washington

The President alleges in his message to
Congress that the report of Paramount
Blount has demonstrated beyond all
question" that the Queen of the Sand
witch Islands was overthrown by the
forces of the United States. Yet Mr..
Cleveland is aware of the fact that that
is matter concerning which the proof
is confcting-so conflicting that the
American people are divided in their
opinions On the one side are the words
of Minister Stevens and the members of
the Provisional government that the
revolution was consummated without
the aid of the United States forces, and
that those forces really had nothing to
do with it, On the other are Commits
sioner Blount and the sympathizers with
the Queen. The statements of both
sides have been made public and the
opinion of the country is divided as to
which side is telling the truth. But
Grover Cleveland says it has been dem
onstrated beyond all question that Mr..
Blount is right and that those who
contradict him are liars. Mr. Cleveland
keeps giving evidence of his. self-suffi-
cheney in settling all questions, and his
contempt for everybody who may take
different view from his. The same ten
dency cropped out in his letter in the
Van Allen case. The criticism Of Van
Aliens appointment was in Mr. Cleveland
opinion nothing but noise and clamor.n

The resignation of Mr.. J.J.Van Allen
imposes very delicate. task on Mr..
Cleveland Mr.. Van Allen has resigned
because he had come to feel that the
public. looked upon his selection after hav-
ing contributed $50, 900 to the campaign
fund as q case of cause and effect. Mr..
Cleveland characterizes the public crit
icism of the appointment as merely noise
and clamor," which he looked upon with
contempt, and which he hoped Mr.. Van
Allen would regard in the same way.
But he did not, and now Mr.. Cleveland
must choose a successor. If he chooses
man who is conspicuously fitted for
the place he will be open to the imputa-
ton of giving heed to the "noise
and clamor" of the people who made a
fuss about Mr.. Van Allen. His contempt
for public opinion and his supreme con-
idence in himself will never allow him
to do that. He will have to select some
man whose career has been as obscure
as Mr.. Van Aliens and who contributed
snug sum to the campaign in order to
let the people know that he has not
backed down and that "noise and
clamor" have no effect upon him. That
is to says he will have to select another
Van Allen. though called by different
name,

1t seems that when President Cleve-
land announced near the close of his
message that an income tax upon
corporations would be recommended by
the Ways and Means committee that COM
mittee had come toAno conclusion in the
matter, which was still a subject of
grave difference of opinion among..them.
But Mr.. Cleveland favored such tax and
SO he deliberately committed the Ways
and Means committee to it, assuming,
and no doubt correctly, that after he had
done so they would not have the courage
to resist. Mr.. Cleveland in his character
of boss is not lacking in adroitness.

One feature of the Democratic pro-
gramme as laid down in the platform on
which he was elected the President forgot
to comment on. 1t will be remembered
that. the platform demanded the repeal
of the. tax on State banks just as strong
ly as the reduction of the tariff to a
revenue basis. If the result OF the cleo
ion was the equivalent of a mandate to
Congress to revise the tariff it was
equally an equivalent to the same body
to repeal the tax on State banks Why
then did not Mr.. Cleveland point out
that to fail.to repeal this tax was as
great unfaithfulness to the mandate of
the people as to neglect to pass the Will
son bill?

Some of our Democratic contem-
poraries are still hugging the delusion
that the present industrial and bushes s
depression is solely the result of the
Sherman silver law. The most of them
are doing so too long after they
know better, and for the sole, pur-
pose of hoodwinking the people as
to where the responsibility for the
present depression really belongs.
Having told the people that tariff reform
would bring unprecedented prosperity
they are compelled to explain why the
prospect of it should be accompanied
with unprecedented adversely, and their
explanation is that the silver law SO OBJ
structed the march of that prosperity
which was to follow in the wake of
tariff reform that it did not get along on
time. It's coming, however, by and by,
they say, and everybody who doubts it is
croaker and an enemy to his country.

The Boston Herald discovers every day
now an appearance Of "reviving conf
dence." Where it discovers it it is diff
cult to say. Not certainly in it's own
news columns, which are filled with
notices of mills closed up or wages re-
duced; not certainly in the testimony of
employers Of labor, who have almost
without exception borne witness to their
anxiety concerning the future, and their
fear that the passage of the Wilson bill
will kill many Industries and cripple
manymore. The only source as far as
we can determine from whence it's
discovery can come is it's own inner
consciousness. The fact apparently is
that the Herald has a buoyant
nature that rises superior to the
wretchedness and misery all around
it so long as the tariff reformers hold
the reins of govern ment. When these
reins are held by the other folks then
it's buoyancy deserts it even in the
midst of prosperity. The public has not
forgotten its melancholy croakings of

Bland.
An Exception in Diplomacy
to Be Made in the Mic
aragua Case.
EX-Gov. Swineford Appointed
a Special Inspector Of
the Land Office.

WASHINGTON, July cit is now
stated that the silver men may play a
part IN the selection of a speaker. The
announcement that there is a POSSIBLE
ity that Mr.. Bland, the champion, may
be displaced as chairman of the ON
mittee on coinage, weights and meas
ures has stirred them to renewed eff
forts. Stories of an attempted combina-
and the POpuliStS to place a candidate
for the speakership in the field unless
they have the assurance. of Mr.. Crisp
that Mr.. Bland will be retained at the
head of the committee are floating
about. but are not generally credited;
for though it is openly said by some
that Mr.. Bland will not again be chair
man of the committee, there are no
facts that would warrant such an
assertion. Mr.. Crisp has not even init
timated such a thing Among the more
conservative the impression is that Mr..
Bland will lead the committee. This
would not. however. indicate that the
entire committee will remain. If Mr..
Bland is chairman it may be expected
that the makeup of the committee Will
be so changed that a majority at least
will be in favor of the repeal of the pur-
chase clause in the Sherman law. 1t is
known that Mr.. Crisp has made abso-
lutely no pledges one way or the other,
either that this one will be retained, or
that the other will be given a chairman
ship. Senator Harris. president pro
tenn. of the senate, says there will be no
flibustering in the senate against the
bill to repeal the Sherman law.

MERELY A SUPPLEMENT.
Treaty Between Brazil and China
Not n New One,

WASHINGTON, July 6.-Nothing is
known in this city of the details of the
immigration arrangements between
Brazil and China, the conclusion of
which has just been announced in ad-
vices from China. China has no consul
nor diplomatic agent IN Brazil, and the
supervision of the arrangement. it Is
believed at the Chinese legation here,
devolves upon the new minister of the
United States. Yang 10. He was ex-
pected to leave Shanghai this week and
10 arrive here in about a month. 1t is
said at the Chinese legation that the
new convention is merely supplemental
to the general treaty between the two
countries already in existence and is
confined to the one subject OF the intro
duction of Chinese laborers into Brazil.
Mr.. Yang 10 will probably bring the
first full particulars of the document.
