most confidently promised have not

turning the ship back toward the pro-

Straight Democratic Comment.

Following are specimens of comment
by straight democratic journals, which
might be indefinitely extended.
If anything was lacking to prove the
folly, the criminality even, of Cleve-
lands policy in the Hawaiian question,
the budget of correspondence published
to day supplies it. Never has an ex-
ecutive of the United States been forced
to supply such complete material for his
own overthrow. Out of the mouth of
his own minister he is condemned. He
is hoist by his own Chicago
Times.
DID Minister Willis realize that in
reading aloud to President Dole, as the
exqueen's mediator, document signed
Liluokalani, r." he was recognizing
her claims to sovereignty and thereby
committing an overt act of war against
the Hawaiian government? Is there a
copy of primary treatise on interna-
tional law and the United States con-
stitution anywhere in Honolulu or
Washington?-Lockport Daily Sun.
THE republic has requested the ex.
listing government of the queens former
kingdom to surrender its offices, and
has been met undoubtedly with firm
refusal. A nation of 70,000,000 of peo-
pie, which in just cause would face
the combined armed forces of the
world, has been defied by 1000 men,
and is unable to resent the affront be.

position which Americans like to oc-
cupy, and they will not thank the ad-
ministration for putting them there
San Francisco Examiner.
So Mrs. Dominis had it in mind to
chop off some headsl And Minister
Willis seems to have been obliged to
use some persuasion with the old girl,
and to bring in the attorney general,
who allowed, in patronizing way, that
the beheading point might be yielded
out of regard for the dignity of the gov
eminent of the United States. The
extraordinary Christian and humane
influences that surround the provisional
government are amply demonstrated
by the fact that Mrs. Dominis and her
man Wilson still wear heads. How
shocking the idea of representative of
the United States treating and pleading
with brutal queen who wanted to be-
head the Americans to whom he was
accredited as minister How disgrace

Thus far, we have shipped about one

From the Land Of Oranges.

In a pleasant letter from Winter Park,
Florida, Mr.. @. III. Ward says:
We are having an Old-fashioned winter
here so the old settlers say. We have had
so far, only one light frost. To-day we had
fresh from our garden, new potatoes-both
common and sweet-green peas, tomatoes

and, last but not least, fine ripe strawbe

two.days' journey, they can reach the land
where they can sit with doors and windows

day. Rev. and Mrs. Gates, and their son
Carl and Miss Lillian Brown Of st. Johns
bury, have a pleasant cottage for the win
ter short distance east of the Seminole

summer than winter. Miss Lizzie Ward of
DuXbury is spending the winter with us.
There are also many other Vermont people

MIR. HARTMAN, republican, of Mon
tana, in the tariff debate, said that in
the extra session the leader of the
democracy had predicted that the re-
peal of the purchasing clause of the
Sherman law would relieve the coun-
try of its financial depression, and he
was making the same prediction now
in regard to the Wilson bill. Was he a
democratic prophet or the son of a
prophet, or only the mouthpece of the
stuffed prophet of Buzzard's Bay? TRa-
publican laughter and applause.
"MR. PRESIDENT" said Mr.. Hoar,
" there is but one point of sympathy
between the present executive of the
United States and the deposed queen
of Hawaii, and that is a purpose on the
part of each recklessly to disregard the
of their own Countrywide
only difference being that the president
of the United States disregards our
constitution recklessly and without
provocation, while the queen of Hawaii,

it only before the great tenn ptation of a

MINISTER STEVENS has given under
oath, before the senate investigating
committee, the story of his connection
with the Hawaiian revolution. Among
the points not made in any of his public
statements is the one that the deposed
queen made no objection to the landing
of the United States forces, and,
twenty-five hours after such landing,
entreated Mr.. Stevens to use the forces
in her behalf This entreaty of the
queen, some two days after the troops
were landed, is a sufficient indication
that she was then of the opinion that
the object of the forces on shore was
the protection of American interests
alone, and not the overthrow of the
government or the establishing of the
provisional government; and that if
these forces, landed by the minister's
request, had been instrumental in effect
ing the revolution, the queen would not
have sought their services in her de-
fence. Mr.. Stevens says further that
he gave no orders for the landing of
the troops. He made a request of
Commander Wiltse, and it was for the
commander to decide whether, under
his commission, his oath, the constitu-
ton and laws of his country and the
regulations of the navy department, he
could comply with that request. Such,
said Mr.. Stevens, had been his custom
during thirty years of diplomatic ex-
perience. To Commissioner Blount's
statement that Mr.. Stevens reply to
the request of the committee of safety
to land troops was not on file, with the
imputation the statement conveys, the
ex-minister answers that his reply is
not on file for the sufficient reason that
he made none. Replying to Mr..
Blount's assertion that he had prom
ised to assist the committee by the
landing of the troops and by the United
States forces, Mr. Stevens said the
statement of Mr.. Blount was en-
phatically and categorically untrue.

IN his annual report of the work
done at the Kelley Institute at the
western branch of the national home
for disabled volunteer soldiers, located
at Leavenworth, Kan, Colonel Andrew
j. Smith, the governor of the home,
gives some very interesting statistics.
He cites the fact that 1856 inmates have
been treated since the institute was es-
tablished there in 1862, and proves by
statistics that since that time 1854 gradu-
ates have left the home and have since
been able to maintain themselves.
Very few graduates have returned from
furlough the past year, which indicates
that the object of most of those absent

SECRETARY CARLISLE announced, on
Wednesday of last week, his purpose to
issue $4,000 900 in fve-per-cent bonds
by virtue of the authority contained in
the act of 1875 10 provide for the re-
sumption of specie payments. These
bonds are not issued to obtain gold to
maintain the reserve for the redemp-
ton of the greenbacks, but to supply
the exhausted treasury with funds to
meet current demands. The bonds are
redeemable in coin at the pleasure of
the government after ten years from
date. No proposals will be received at
a lower rate than SLY. 223, which is the
equivalent of three per cent at par.
In the face of an existing deficit in the
treasury, to supply which the govern
ment is compelled to borrow money in
a time of profound peace, the demo-
cratic party is forcing through congress
a measure that will create a deficiency
of SIS 100000 in the nations revenues.
The secretary's proposal is very sharply
criticised by democratic senators and
representatives. The existence of au-
thority for the issue in the act of 1875
is stoutly denied. 1t is argued that
legal authority for the issue could be
had only in special act of congress.
The secretary's needs were, however,
too pressing, and the uncertainty of
speedy and favorable action by con-
gress too great, to admit of consulting
that department of the government.
So the secretary was fain to accept the
contention that the right to issue bonds
exists under the act of 1875, although
the issue is made for purpose not con-
templated by that act.

THE New York Sun says: "Mr, Ide
of Vermont, who rules Samoa as chief
justice under the triple protectorate,
has begun his administration in an ex.
cellent way, and is already far more
popular than was his predecessor, the
Swede Cederkranz. Mr.. Ide gets along
finely even with the German govern
ment, and that is very difficult thing
for any man to do. He has drawn con-
cessions from Germany that must be
very advantageous to the Samoans."
