but sometimes forgetful, contemporary,
The Journal, upon having arrived at
clear appreciation of the evils inflicted
upon the community 10y the stay-at-
home voter. Tie process of transition
which brought it To the clearer and
more reasonable view, suggested in an
editorial of yesterday, must have been
bitter. but it may possibly bring that
peace of mind which confession Of error
is supposed to produce. The murmur to
which The NEWS begs to refer called
attention to the disgraceful conduct OF
the Democrats in the Legislatures of
New Jersey, New York and Rhode
fsfauti, and went on to OBJ
serve that it was matter "of
interest ultimately to even the quietest
stay-at-home voters, and sometime the
man who encourages such conditions of
government by AN omission to vote has
to pay the cost of the struggle and the
delay in legislation"
This quotation is naive enough when
it stands alone, aud when compared
with some OF the utterances of The
Journal prior to last election it becomes
absolutely interesting. Here are few
random quotations froih The Journals S
columns as written before election and
thus thoughilessly calculated to
encourage such conditions of govern
ment" as are now deplored
On the morning of the last spring
election The Journal said

take note how badly the roads need re-
pairing.
1.-THE independent and lukewarm
partisans do not come out except when
there is some real reason or need of
them. There is not this year."
On the morning after election, The
Journal took occasion TO remark :
"Those who might have voted aud did
not simply indicated their willingness to
be governed by the forty thousand or so
of their fellow citizens who hey knew
beforehand would go to the polls"
All of which suggests 10 The News the
catch line of n pathetic ballad now quite
popular:

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING
A "Cuckoo" Sheer at the Flag.
N Y. Press

". " Press
Representative Rayner's unpatriotic
sneer Mt Mr.. Boutelle's devotion to the
American flag was significant feature
of the House debate on Hawaii last Satur-
day. The Maryland Congressman is one
of the most servile and persistent
Cleveland "cuckoos" i'm the House.
In attacking the Maine Represen-
tative for his unfiinching patriot
ism, he was acting i'm full accord with the
spirit of the most un-American admins
tration in history. Rayner's taunting as
sertion that Mr.. Boutelle chad been talk
ing about the American flag for 20 years."
and that wherever she saw a place for
the flag he wanted to haul it up" may
have seemed piece of brilliant repartee in
the White House and in certain sections of
the South; but it will arouse the indigne
tion and disgust of great majority OF
American citizens. Devotion to the sym
Dol of the Republic and zeal for the ad-
vancement of American interests are not
crimes in the eyes of the American people,
however unpleasant they may be to the
President, who treacherously conspired
against Americanism in Hawaii.

TILE TRAIN SHEDS.

The City Council very properly de-
cided last evening that there was no
necessity for rushing through its APP
proval of the plans for the new depot.
The plans may be all right, and
so far as they pertain to the
station proper they undoubtedly are,
but there is every evidence that the
Consolidated intends to attach train
sheds that would seriously de-
tract from the beauty of the
structure and the comfort Of
the travelling public, and this was the
reason that TnE News has objected on
behalf of the business interests of this
city to the rushing through of the city's
approval
The Common Council passed an amend
ment which will prevent such action on
the part of the road. The amendment
provides, "ihat as part Of the con
struction OF the building there shall
be added train sheds OF sufficient
character. the plans 70 be approved by
the City Council" This will effrctually
prevent the erection OF un-
slightly sheds ,tbat could be
erected at comparatively small cos,
and ensure an harmonious whole when
the depot is finished. The city j. giving
much to the road, and must insist mon
equal generosity from the railroad cor
poration.
