ABSOLUTELY PURE
Hawaii and the Administration.

says the Philadelphia Record Mucb
stress is laid in the Senate debate on
hawaiian affairs by the friends of the
administration on the intrigues of ex-
minister Stevens and the exhibition of
united States marines in support of the
reVolutlonists in Honolulu. But as
sumlng all this to be true, it does NOT
prove by any means that the Pro-
Vlslonal Government of Hawaii would
not have been established without tbis
foreign aid. The perfect ease with
winch the Provisional Government
maintains itself now that this extran.
eous support has been withdrawn iusti-
nes the opinion that the revolution did
not need such support for its success
queen Liliuokalani is utterly helpless
even with the moral support of the Ad.
mlnistration at Washington.
When President Cleveland eptered
upon his office he found an established
Government in Hawaii. This Pro.
Vlslonal rule had been acknowledged
oy other nations and was subsequently
acknowledged by his own Administra-
uon. Any interference with this Gov.
eminent in Hawaii, then, was a provo.
cation to war. By most nations how.
ever feeble, it would have been a case
oi war, since such interference is an ar
rogant invasion of a sovereign RIGHT
Queen Liliuokalani would have been
entirely Justifiable, apart from the con.
slderation of military weakness. in de.
clarlng war against this Government
assuming that Minister Stevens did
lend the aid of United States marinas
Tor her overthrow. On like grounds
the Provisional Government of Hawaii
would have been as fully justified in
declaring war against this country he
cause OF the interference of the present
Administration at Washington with its
domestic affairs.
There is, however, a marked diAar.
ence between the two cases which e
any thing but favorable to the present
Administration. President Harrison
ana his Secretary of State, with all
their excess of zeal for annexation
utterly denied, disowned and repudia.
ted any and all official interference Of
Stevens with the Government
Of Hawaii.
Ihis Administration, on the other
hand has openly carried on negotiations {
Tor months with the ex-Queen in the
capital and under the very nose of the ,
PROVISIONAL Government. In this conn
ry the power to declare war belongs |
'nly to Congress; and no Administra-
ION has the right to push a quarrel so ;
ar with an independent Power as to :
make 1t case of war. The fact that th '
'roVisional Government of Hawaii is '
90 feeble a military Power to resent {
oreign interference only serves TO t
leepen the public immortality of this !
transaction. There is scarcely a Gov t
rnment in the world, no matter how
eeble, that would not respond by the d
annon's mouth to so arrogant chal- n
enge Ofit5 rights and its sovereignty. 6
With rejecting the plan OF annexation :,
ne business of this Administration in =
laval would have properly ended. a
he quarrel between the Provisional c
-oyernment and the Queen is no more u
lr concern than is the result of the /
vil war in Brazil. n

The suggested transfer of the Hon.
George Gray, of Delaware, from the
Senate of the United States to the
Bench of the Supreme Court, though
highly appropriate in itself in every
respect, might not prove advantageous
ia the public interests at this junction.
Eminent lawyers can be found in suffi-
cient number for the Supreme Bench.
but it would not be easy for Delaware
or any other State to adequately supplv
the place of the Hon. George Gray in
the Senate. In ability in debate.
Judicial learning, experience concern
ing the needs of legislation and i'm
practical common sense he has no
superior in that body. His withdraw
from the Senate in the prime of his
usefulness would cause a serious void
In its councils. But should he be nomi.
mated for the Supreme Court he would
be confirmed without dissenting voice.
As to the shrek of locality, it would
not be heard if raised against the name
OF George Gray, who belongs to the
country as much as he does to Della

TWO waists, one made as a long coat
opening over vest and the other low

FUR.

The use of fur trimming is frequent.
With or without the lightest garnitures

Boston, July 2l-Thomas Jordan. an
July l6 In the village Of Cordaville. died
here last evening as the result Of his in
Juries. Jordan was set upon on lonely
road and terribly beaten. He was thrown
into the ditch and was not discovered un-
ill daylight Cordaville has been in
tested by lawless mobs for sew eral months
This makes the case one of manslaugh.
ter, bnt 1t is understood that no arrests
have been made up to the present time.
although "a number of persons supposed
Co be mem bers Of the gang are under sus-
pioion.
Jordan was u laborsr, and was EN-.
ployed by the Boston water board on
basin No. O. He had only been In the
town about week when the assault oc-
CURED. The story of this assault was
told In these dispatches. together with
the finding OF Jordan In the water In the
old cellar In Cordaville.
When found blood was flowing from
outs on his face and he was
UnabIe to Move Hand OF Foot.
The men descended into the cellar and
lifted the body out on TO the bank sur
rounding the wall
He was removed to the city hospital in
this city, where he has fingered between
life and death the past week When he
was brought to the hospital he was un-
conscious and remained In that condition
for several days
IL IL stated that Jordan was able TO tell
the doctor at the hospital Just how he
was assaulted. He said that he was met
by two men on the road and asked n he
had any money. He informed them that
he had not, whereupon ne was struck a
stunning blow In the face, which felled
him. He could not rememb Der what hap
psned after this
He lay In the cellar where he was found
all night, and his death Is probably due
60 the loss of blood and the fact that he
was unable to take any nourishing food.
After Jordan was removed 20 Boston an
Investigation was Immediately begun by
the police and Off cials OF the town, but
mp 20 last night
No Arrests Have Been Made.
T. L. hougnt that the men who ~.
saulted Jordan are responsible for the In
cendiary nres which occurred In the town
last Saturday night, which entailed loss
OF almost $4,000
For the past few years q gang OF toughs
has been operating in that town. They
do not hesitate TO commit even murder
and start Oft periodically on the rampage,
destroying almost anything they lay their
hands on.
Jordan is the third person who has been
treated at a Boston hospital on account
of injuries received at the hands of a gang
at this place.
He had the reputation Of being An In
dustrious and peaceful citizen, and IL is
said has bank account as the result Of
his labor.
