There are those in political life who
would have had President Cleveland con.
tinue to send to the Senate as nominees
for the Supreme Bench the names sue.
cessively, of every lawyer in New Yori
state who is obnoxious tc Senator David
Bennett Hill. These so-called friends OF
Mr.. Cleveland are now acrimoniously crit.
ical because the President wisely decided
to follow a better course; better in that
1t is more dignif1ed and less likely to in
ture the party which has twice elected
Mr.. Cleveland President of the United
States. 1t is being urged by many of the
Presidents supporters that he has surren-
dered his freedom of action at the moment
when 1t was of the utmost Importance to
good government that he should resolutely
maintain 1t, but the conclusion is not borne
out by the facts. Had the President, after
the defeat of Hornblower and Peckham
submitted to the Senate the name of a
New Yorker known to be friendly to Sena-
tor Hill that might fifty have been char
acterized as a surrender, but the nomina-
ton of Senator White was an honorable
compromise and one Of which the Presi-
dent need not be and undoubtedly is not
ashamed. The only persons who appear to

of New York appointment. They will
be perfectly safe If they lay the blame

The sentence which was yesterday pro-
nounced on John Y. Mckane the Graves
end boss" will probably remove from, nub-
lie life for nearly six years one CT the most
remarkable characters ever developeI in
that extraordinary political school which
has its center in the city of New York.
Guilty of one Of the greatest crimes that
can be committed in a free country. Nc
Kane apparently fails to recognize in him
self an evil-doer. Fer years he ran the
elections at Gravesend without let or him
idrance. until at last he evidently deluded
himself into the belief that whatever he did
was right. only by such reasoning as that
could he possibly excuse his apparently sin
Sere statement made before being SEN
fenced yesterday: Il have never done any
thing wrong to any one as far as know
And he seems not to be alone in this ex-
trIordinary belief-extraordinary because
there is no doubt whatever as to the wicked
ness he has so persistently done Even in
the community where he dwelt and over
winch ne reigned, there are many seemingly
reputable people who continue 70 believe in
Mchahs- 50 far as the records are con-
cernei, Z Mckane is still superintendent of
the SheepShead Lay Methodist Episcopal
sunday school. and it was To- the teachers
ana scholars Of that body that Assistant
Superintendent TredwelI said of NcKane.s
Conviction: You all know what has hap
pencil 1t has plunged US ali in grief and
mas made things look Just bit dark TO US.

gentleman We always loved him in tie

past, and now that he seems to be in trou-
bic. we love him just as much as ever We
believe that he has been grossly encom-
passed by his enemies. We retain our be-
lief in him. / earnestly think he will soon
be delivered from his enemies and restored
to US again. You must not allow this SEEM
ing disaster to bear you down or make you
discouraged. We must go right on with
our work here. Above all, don't forget to
pray every night for him whom we miss 50
much" --.....--.. .............
Mr.. Tredvell showed much emotion as he
spoke. while half-stified sobs were heard
mere and there in the room. Speaking to a
reporter shortly afterward. Mr. Tredwell
said of his imprisoned chief: II love him
and believe in him, just as every one else
does who knows him. You can't get any
one to speak against him down this way.
1t is wrong for you to come here"
Such remarks as the foregoing would in
dictate either that some of the good people
OF Gravesend possess a low order of intel
lect, or have had their moral sense cor
rupted by association with the man who
will soon be in Sing Sing. Even at this
distance from Gravesend 1t seems absurdly
improbable that men of good common sense
could be deceived as the majority of
Gravesend people seem to bave been de-
ceived. 1t may be, and probably Is, that
the wholesale theft Of votes is not there re-
sa-ded as an offense, and if that be so,
then Gravesend has urgent need of a corps
of modern missionaries. The proposition
that McKane should be punished and
punished severely is one that admits of no
argument, and 1t may be that before his
term Of imprisonment comes to an end, Nc
Kane and those who now mourn for him
will realize the magnitude of his ofrense
against society.

History Repeats Itself.
From the Honolulu Commercial Advertiser


Surely. history repeats itself. Queen Lii
iuokalani wanted blood in January and
Mrs. Dominis wanted il again in Novem-
Der. Queen Liliuokalani recanted in Janu-
airy and Mrs. Dominis did the same ten
months later. The royal oath was simply
the breath of false, perjured woman in
the first instance, and it was nothing diff
ferent in the second-except that II was no
longer royal We may be shocked at the
bloody thoughts of Liliuokalani, while we
marvel at her folly. Yet, from the psycho-
logical point Of view, her case is a perfect
ly simple one. She forfeited her throne be-
cause she cared more for power than any,
thing else, and she lost the only chance
she ever had to regain 1t, because she had
poured all her soul into the one passion of
revenge. We may almost pity Mrs. Dominis
now. True. she has shown herself to be
cruel. revengeful and false. and altogether
undeserving of pity. But has she not been
sorely punished? Her vices have reacted
on herself. Her falsehood cost her a throne:
her malevoience cut her off from all hope
OF regaining 1t. She has been the victim
of her own evil purposes. and the pit which
she digged SO deep for others she has fallen
into.

We wonder what the Charlotte %
SerUer is going to do. It is talking real
naughty again. 1t really seems to
think that Wall street is a nuisance
and that the goldbugs r going too
far. Read what it said on the 18th:
Those people are unwise who make
themselves Indifferent to such utter
ances as those of Mr.. Enloe, of Tennes-
see, In his discussion in the House on
Thursday of the Bland selgniorage bill.
He truly said that it's opponents are
those who wish to stop the issue of
money in any fOrm-thOse who are de-
termlned to kill every other industry
except that of coupon clipping. He
believed there was on foot a scheme to
raid the Treasury and deplete it of it's
gold, acquired by the recent issue of
bonds, and thus compel a repetition of
the process. A gentleman had told
him that if the pending bill passed not
another bond could be placed in Wall
street.
MI. Enloe was right when he said,
then, that If the credit of the govern
ment Is at the mercy of Wall street it
should be allowed to go by default. He

day when the South could be terror
lied, either by bayOnets or financial
threats, had passed."
Those who are seeking to bend the
whole financial policy Of the govern
ment to their will are going too far.
They should not permit themselves to
be deceived about their strength by the
ease with which the repeal Of the pur-
chase cause of the Sherman act was
secured. That was necessary and
righteous legislation, and it did not
mean that the government was to be
handed over to them. as they seem to
suppose. They would b tier have a
care. The destruction of the credit of
the government would hurt them
worse than it would the common peo-
pie.
They would do we'll to compromise
this silver question while they can.
There are a great many very great
fools on both sides of 1T. They would
better make some concession 0 than
to seek to go further in the direction
they are bound, and in the end fare
worse.

The people have already paused and
reflected" They know how it was
brought about and who is responsible.
That is not a part of the discussion.
Those who have sense and honesty
enough to be kickers know that the
Republicans and Democrats are re-
sponsible. The Republicans are not
alone in the crime. Democrats have
had a majority in the House severa
times since the war and Cleveland was
President four years. Much of the time
no bill could have passed without
Democratic votes and they voted with
the Republicans. We can name book,
chapter and verse.
But if the above was not true, the
Democratic party has had full control
exactly twelve months. They have
President, Senate and House-absolute
power. What have they donel In
stead of wiping out what they so often
term the ''infamy" of Republican leg
