LIFE AND LOVE.

Life has hurried Love away,
AS though he never knew its birth.
Love holds no lasting fealty here,
Upon this solemn earth.
Love. the bondsman, came an hour
To sport above t se web of things;
Life, the master, went his way
Crushed are the irised wings.

BLIND To FACT.

Grover Cleveland persists in maintain
ing that the United States marines ac-
complished the revolution in Hawaii. If
he had read The NEWS interview with
ex- Minister of Finance p. 9. Jones, he
would have learned what was the fact,
that the United States forces were in no
position to participate in the bloodless
war; that on learning that trouble was
expected, they assembled where they
ought to have been, about the residence
of the United States minister and consul
standing ready to protect non-combat-
ant American interests; that Captain
Wiltze, of the Boston, refused to recog-
nize the provisional government in
stalled in the government building
until the barracks and police station
had also been captured, which was done
expeditieusly inasmueh rs they were
surrendered that the naval commander
and the United States minister
acted independently one Of the
other, on their individual judgments, as
neither had any authority over the
other; that the revolution would have
occurred any way IL there had not been a
Yankee gunboat within thousand miles;
and that it would have certainly sue
ceeded because of the exceedingly simple
fact that the revolutionists comprised
200 determined and we'll armed men, and
the queens army but 20 badly scared
natives-and that the postscript which
the queen wrote to her acceptance of
the inevitable that she Surrendered to
the superior forces of the United States" I"
was simply poppy cock, the clever idea
of her willy paramour, Marshal Wilson.

MISLEADING REPORTS.

JUDGING specifically from the reports
of the commercial agencies of Saturday,
the conclusion to be drawn was that the
tide had turned and that business re-
vival was at hand. If this We're true it
would indeed be good news but such
news cannot be expected while the finan-
cial and business world remain in their
present unsettled condition. Both Brad
street e. Dun reported that more business
enterprises were starting into activity
than were shutting down, and from this
the conclusion was speedily reached that
turn had come and that once more
prosperity was returning. How quickly
in times like these do we clutch at the
little straws with the energy of drown
ing man, but unfortunately like the
straws these signs are too fragile and too
weak to stand the burden that is put upon
them. The mills that are starting up are
doing so in obedience to orders, not be-
cause of returning confidence. The
Wilson bill is not yet passed and Ameri-
can made goods still have the call. The
long period of idieness has exhausted
supply and the demand must be met.
Mills start up spasmodically in re-
sponse to this demand. They will run
only so long rs may be required to sup
ply the demand and then close down
again, aud thus we shall have alternate
periods of activity and depression until
the great questions of the tariff and Of
finance are satisfactorily disposed of by
the congress of the United States.
The financial world is ava ting the
solution of no less serious questions and
as yet no satisfactory policy has found
origin in the ranks OF the party at pres
ent in control OF government. The
legality of the issue of bonds by Secretary
Carlisle for other purposes than those
designated in the act under which he
derives his authority is questioned by
the ablest constitutional authorities in
congress. Yet the fiat has gone forth
and is being carried out that until the
tariff is disposed of no financial legisla.
tion is to be attempted.
These are the reasons why the reports
Of returning prosperity are discredited.
Until they are answered by the solution
of the questions themselves there can be
no pernanency to any seeming return
of prosperity.

THE SUPREME BENCH.

There is evidently good deal of mis-
apprehension among Democrats and
those who have it in their
power to dictate the disposition
of high officers as to the status
OF the supreme bench. Traders in
political pie seem to be of the opinion
that the bench is to be used as O reward
for party service just as much as the
crossroads postoffice. 1t is naturally
considered sweet and very succulent
piece of pastry and TO be doled out only
in return for very important services TO
the ruling administration, but a reward
nevertheless.
The trainers of the constitution had
no such object in view when they
created this government. The supreme
court was not intended as a medium of
exchange in the adjustment of political
debts. 1t was meant by it's founders to
be far above the highest stratum of
pClitcs. 1t should and our forefathers
meant that it should be wiser and better
than even the president OF congress.
IL is the last resort of great and per-
picking problems Its judges should be
men above politics in the narrow sense
in which the term is commonly
used. They should be chosen
for their qualities of ability, integrity
and legal requirements, not because they
have a record for political wire-pulling.
Hornblowers nomination was actuated
by desire on the part of the president
to discharge a political obligation,
for he "was very active in the recent
campaign" presumably with dollars.
Tammany turned him down because it
needed the vacant judgeship to liqui-
date little obligation of its own. No
matter who tie appointee may prove to
be he will be used to square some po-
litical |. q. u.
Under these circumstances hope of
the continued spotlessness of the ermine
stands in need Of an invigorator.

An extract from the now famous
'letter No. D." until Saturday held 10y
the presidenvfrom congress, shows again
that Minister Willis, unlike Blount. has
his eyes wide EN- in Hawaii although
bound TO carry out his instructions.
Here Is what Mr.. Willis writes in a
stage whisper: From these and other
facts which have been developed. I feel
satisfied that there will be concerted
movement In the event Of restoration

DEPRESSION IN HAWAII.

Il seems to be fate that every indi-
vidual, corporation or power that comes
within reach of the Administrations
tentacles should suffer from complica.
tion of financial as well as political
troubles.
Hawaii is already feeling the baleful
touch of Mr.. Cleveland's business hoodoo
although it has not yet completed its
political experience with the interfering
ruler of the American nation. Stagna-
tion is settling down upon her industries
and planters and growers complain much
that Growers fine Italian hand is stir
ring up no end OF muss In their onoe
prosperous marts of trade. Political
uncertainty has created business uncer-
tainty and timid capital refuses to put
forth its verdure until 1t has been de-
termined whether its roots will find
subsoil of nourishing Republicanism or
be compelled to wither and die In the
sterile sands of rotten monarchy.
Over in Hawaii the business men as
we'll as the statesmen are saying some
harsh things about Grover Cleveland.
He is engaged in the pleasant and
profitable task Of taking their bread as
well as their political rights away from
them and Justly they rebel.
Will Mr.. Claus Speckles, who Is
somewhat intimately connected with
the sugar industry in Hawaii, please
arise and deliver another phillippic upon
the monarchy?

which would mean the overthrow ct
constitutional and limited government" I"
Aud here is another gem from the
proposition a. submitted by the queen to
Minister Willis: "An analysis OF the
list Of special advisers, whether native
or foreign, is not encouraging to the
friends of good government or American
interests. The Americans, who for
over half century held commanding
place in the councils of state, are
ignored. and other nationalities, English
especially, are placed in charge"
It Is small wonder the president
wanted to hold this back but to do it
was good deal like impudence.

DEMOCRACY REPEATS ITSELF.

( fFrom the me ssage Of
President James Bu-

"Since the adjourn
ment OF the last congress

gree OF health. The earth

THE NEWS PRIZE STORY.
How About This I?

To THE EDITOR OF THE NEWS:
SIR-I have a question TO ask about THE
NEWS prize story competition. In the private
schools and in the High school there are
number of students who are taking special
courses and not pursuing the prescribed cur
ricuum. Does the fact that these students
are not taking the regular courses rule them
out of the competition2
SPECIAL STUDENT.
The News certainly has no objection
to such young men and women particle
pating. Has any body?
The concensus of opinion from q num-
Der of interested correspondents Is that
one prize ought to be divided In two parts,
but not In three. Accordingly The News
will make the first prize $500 and the
second prize 1000.
al. D." writes to ask for an extension of
time from the last day OF January. 1t is
set forth that for a whole week after the
first stannouncement In THE Ne WIS vacation
time and the holidays absorbed
attention from the story. The News has
no objection to giving all the time that is
wanted by majority OF the contestants,
and II knows another good reason for an
extension namely, that the paper
Is circulating nearly three times
as many copies today as IL
did when the competition was opened
and consequently, some readers had op-
portunity for earlier ..imformation
than others, about It. At the
same time several stories have
already been received, and there may be
objections TO extending the Time accord
ingly. What do you say? y
BY the way, when you send your story,
sign IL with nom de plume or motto. Then
enclose with II your real name and address
In sealed envelope, addressed 90 ths edl-
tor. The committee will then not know
whose story IL is that they pass upon.

force a market for its manufactured
goods in the manufacturing centres OF
Europe?
Why should we seek to carry coal
to Newcastle?
Why should Fall River undertake to
sell cotton goods to Manchester? When
two localities each engaged in the same
kind of manufacturing undertake to sell
their wares in the market of the other,
prices naturally fall to the lowest posi-
bic price that commercial solvency will
permit.
Why, then, should these markets have
such an attraction for us when there are
other nations. not manufacturing pa
tions--our natural markets-that lie on
this side of the water and where we as
yet have obtained but bare foot-hold.
The nations of South and Central
America are the natural tributaries TO
the markets of the United States. They
are not and never can be manufacturing
nations. They produce certain things
that we want, that we buy and pay for
in gold, which we do not and cannot
produce owing to the difference in cli-
matte conditions.
Mr.. Blaine with that far seeing states
manship which characterized his later
years saw with clear vision the bene-
fits to be derived. by the cultivation of
better trade relations with these coun-
tries and his magnificent project OF reci-
procity had this end in view-to find
market for our surplus product where it
could be disposed of at a profit and
where in return we could purchase the
things we need. Instead of paying for
our coffees, spices, tobacco, dyewocds,
sugar, rubber and other tropical pro-
ducts in gold. we could pay for them in
manufactured products at double ad-
vantage TO ourselves.
The Democracy shutting its eyes to
these markets continues blindly to long
for oiher markets where from the very
condition of things we can not hope sIc-
cessfully to compete. We have some
products that Europe must buy. Our
wheat, our bread stuffs, our great range
of provisions of every nature, machinery
and other articles Europe must have,
but it is by far better that Europe should
pay fer them in gold. than that this
country should be drained of gold to pay
for the manufactured goods of Europe.
The largely increased expectations
under the Mckinley bill show that pro-
lection does not, as the free traders
claim, close against us the markets of
the nations we are protecting ourselves
against.
Let our statesmen lend their energies
towards developing our natural mar
kets, the manufacturing nations,
and cease trying to secure the markets
of the manufacturing nations by throw
ing open our own markets to them, and
we shall see America prospering and
happy. To abandon protection and give
free access to our own home markets to
the manufacturers of Europe is the
height Of political imbecility.
