Brief Note. on q Dishonest Document.

The letter OF the Hon. GROVER CLEvE-
LAND 10 the Hon. CHAUNcEY =. BLACK is
. dishonest document. No other adjec-
tive describes II.
At q time when the fate and future Of
the Democracy are at stake, when the
party which elected Mr. CLEVELAND is
nearer TO dissolution than ever before.
savs once. In the hundred yenrs OF Its
history, this selfish. stubborn politician
and disoredited leader has no better use for
his pen than 70 misstate deliberately the
peril that eonfronts us.
PARTY principles and party integrity
and party existence are at stake. he says.
True. but whyp Not because. as he de-
clares. there Is a possibility that he may
fail In his attempt TO force through Con-
gress the protectionist WILSON bill and the
Bocisllstio income tax. but because he per-
sists In that attempt to win advantage for
himself at the price OF ruin and destruction
for the Democracy.
He talks OF the degradation and disgrace
Of failure to redeem the pledges upon
which our fellow countrymen intrusted us
with the control Of their Government" and
asks Congress to vote the Reputation OF
these very pledges.
He talks OF "a continuation OF Demo-
cratic supremacy" and hales the Democ-
racy on TO the degradation and disgrace OF
q surrender to communism and anarchy.
He talks Of" striving for principles In
stead OF spoils." and strives to compel the
Democracy to accept for its own the Popu-
list principle that the few must be despoiled
for the benefit OF the many.
He talks OF " the Importance OF q dissem-
inetion OF Democratic doctrine" and uses
the power OF his office. to a degree unprec-
edented. to disseminate doctrines odions to
Democracy. and poisonous to Its life.
He talks OF "the Advancement OF true
Democracy" while waving ut the head OF
the column the blood-red flng OF commu-
nIsm and anarchy.
He urges every Democratic agency Ito
labor increasingly and earnestly to save
our party" while he labors increasingly and
stolldly TO destroy that party.
IL II . wonder that the Democrats OF the
North and East are falling away In disgust
by hundreds and thousands every day from
the red banner which the author OF this
letter holds upf
Meanwhile. new recruits are rushing from
every part OF the country to join his Social
list standard. The CoxEYs and the KELLRys
aud tho FRYEs at the head Of their bowling
hordes are concentrating upon Washington
In response to the invitation in the Pres

means the abandonment OF Pago-Pago Bay
a harbor Of refuge for American commerce
In the Pacific for all time to come.
New Zealand is said to be ready to under
take the responsibility Of governing Samoa.
No doubt OF It'll The annexation OF the
most desirable and only unappropriated
group Of islands In the South Pacific to the
British system has long been favorite
project Of Australasian policy. Turning
the islands over to New Zealand means
turning them over to England. That means
that our treaty rights in Pago-Pago be-
come worthless at once.
We have paid for these rights by arduous
diplomacy and in hard cash. and with tho
lives OF our naval officers and seamen.
They were worth the purchase. The prop
osition to withdraw from the joint control
OF Samoa is simply n proposition to haul
down our flag In Pago-Pago harbor and to
transfer gratis either to Germany or to
Great Britain possession OF inestlmable
value with regard to our future commerce.
The idea OF maintaining in British or Ger
man territory. and under British or Ger

chant marine OF the United States. is pre-
posterous. As for surrendering 1t. We think
that the American spirit Is little inclined
to tolerate further any such games OF
give-away.

Queens Speech Opening the Next
Session to Be Important.
Practically to Open a New Chapter
in National History.
An Unfortunate Time for the Dissen-
sions In the Irish Party.

LONDON, March 8--The First Cabinet
Council under the Presidency OF Lord
Rosebery was held at noon to-day.
The Ministers were mainly occupied
with drafting the Queens speech, which
is to be delivered upon the approach
ing opening OF Parliament. This speech.
1t is said. will be IA most important docu-
ment. as 1t will practically open a new
chapter In the history OF the United
Kingdom. Considerable interest is
manifested in the coming speech, not
only among the Liberals, Conservative
and other parties represented in Par
lament. but among the Queens subjects
at large.
There Is continued dissenslon In the
ranks OF the McCarthyltes, and the Healy-
ties, who number twenty-slx. have decd-
ed that unless Lord Rosebery il prepared
to give the most explicit assurances In
regard to Home Rule and the Evicted
Tenants measure. they will divide
against the Government.
1t is reported that. IL the Diilonites
show any inclination to carry matters
with high hand at the coming meet
ing OF the party, Messrs. Healy and
Arthur O'Connor will refuse to serve any
longer on the Committee. In that event,
1t is added, Messrs. l5smonde and
O'Driscoll will resign the duties OF
whips. and important changes In the
Committee are predicted.
1t Is said that Michael Davitt will
again be a candidate for election to the
House of Commons.
1t is unfortunate at this critical period
In history that there should be dissen-
sions In the Irish Parliamentary ranks
as even the Conservatives admit that
the constant and admirably conducted
warfare waged by the representatives
of the Irish people In Parliament has
finally resulted in practically convincing
the Tories that Ireland must have Home
Rule In some shape or form.
So long as the Irish demands are re
fused British legislation can only be q
tedious and unsatisfactory process, ant
the Irish Parliamentary party, actins
together. now has 1t In its power tc
overturn Lord Rosebery's Government
unless the new Premier has succeeded
in making a deal with the Unionists
which would amount to completely drop
ping the Home Rule question. This, Il
Is thought. Is not likely to be possible
and thus II Is that the Irish now have
the best OF all opportunities OF assert
ing their strength and winning the
measure of self-government. which al
llberal-minded men admit they are Just
ly entitled to.

tinder and large tongues Of flame shot
In the air. The fire Illuminated the sky
and passengers on the Jersey City ferry

THOMPSON LOST HIS TEMPER

TRENTON n. j., March s-The
Thompson investigation before the
House Committee on Elections. was re-

room. Max Salinger was the only mem.

keys.
Mr. Thompson's temper got the better

"Tll tell what Wartman wants tt

After a few more words the Commit.

case proceeded.
During the testimony OF Mr. Cubbler
the Committee produced ballot box fol
his Identification, which was used In the
Second District OF the Second Ward
known as the Race Track District. This
box was big surprise. The top of the
lid was broken I'm such n manner as to
permit OF the lifting out of the corner
posts. thus making II easy to remove
glass sides and get at the ballots.
Mr.. Storrs, who did the examining for
the Committee, was very dramatic wher
he removed without any trouble the side
OF the box and took out the ballots

apart to convince the Committee that
the ballots could be extracted withou,
any extra force or strength.
The witness. who was Judge OF elec.
ton in the district where the box was
used, could not swear that the box was
broken on the day OF the election. He
examined the box and found that the bal.
lots and books inside were In exactly
the same position which he placed then
at the close OF the polls.
There were 80 many ballots IN the box
