The papers that are hostile 20 the policy
adopted by the President IT. respect to
Hawaii are again asserting that there is q
great deal of talk In congress among
democrats as well as republicans about
impeachlng the President for his Ha-
waiian acts. The purpose for which these
papers are making this assertion is in
comprehensive. A few malicious repub-
licans may be indulging in impeachment
talk, but even they must know it is idiotic.
Nothing is more certain than that the
democrats in congress are standing by the
President in this Hawaiian matter His
Hawaiian message a few weeks ago CON
WINGED them that he stood on firm ground
that what he had done was
right. He has done nothing
since then to which his bitterest
political enemy could reasonably take ex-
ception.
The Hawaiian question is now in the
control of congress. The President
placed it there some time ago. At sthe
proper time congress will decide what
shall be donein respect to Hawaii But
whatever is done the President will not
be censured for the policy he pursued
prior to turning the matter over to con
gress. All talk to the effect that an
effort will be made to impeach the Presi-
dent is rot of the worst sort Those who
are indulging in such talk are only max
ing themselves ridiculous.

The attorney general has furnished the
Senate, upon request, some interesting
statistics with regard to the operation Of
the federal election laws. Since 1870
there have been 6,94l indictments under
these laws. These indictments, however,
do not represent the arrests made.
Throughout the south from 1870 to 1870,
hundreds of democrats were arrested and
locked up on election days upon fictitious
charges, and discharged when it was too
late for them to vote, and against these
no indictments were ever brought. John
l. Davenport practiced the same kind of
thing in New York city, and had big
iron cage built in which to pack his pris-
oners during voting hours. OF the 6,941
indictments brought under the laws, how
ever, less than 1900 resulted in convic-
tions. More than two-thirds of the num-
Der were found by the grand juries and
the courts TO be false charges, and 4, 2S6
of the cases were mol. pressed and 77S
were acquitted. The showing made from
the records of indictments brought and
passed upon is infamous; If the statistics
of arrests for twenty years could be had
they would prove the laws in operation to
have been outrageous.

South Cardinals present regrettable
state administration sprang from a snap
convention called by the president of the
farmers alliance TO meet three or four
months ahead Of the regular democratic
nominating convention, for the purpose of
suggesting" nominees for state offices.
The call was signed by G. w. Shell, at
that time clerk of the court at Laurens,
now a congressman, and the final outcome
has been the landing in office of nearly all
the instiRators of the movement. Another
snap convention is to be called next
March, according to our dispatches of
yesterday, the purpose of which will be
to keep in power the clique controlled by
Gov. Tillman, who is the brains of his
faction. The outcome this time, how
ever, may not be so gratifying to the snap
pers as was the outcome of the first
March convention. Those 'reformers"
who have not yet succeeded in getting

They want some of the spoils and cannot
understand why they are not as much en-
titled TO them as the governors favorites,

tributed, the governor cannot satisfy the
demands of the hungry ones without
creating other new ofices-he made some
new ones last month, it will be remem-
bered-and at present he cannot see his
way clear to providing the money to pay
other salaries, even if the Offices were to
be created. In this condition of affairs
it is quite likely that fight will occur in

Until the people at large are better in

opinion that the unfavorable report OF the
Senate judiciary committee on the nomi-
nation Of Judge Hornblower was the out
come of petty political spite on the part
of Senator Hill, and misapplied senatorial
courtesy on the part of his conferees. 1t
is generally understood that Senator Hill
held Judge Hornblower as a hostage for
Judge MaYnard's election in New York.

Father Corrigan, pastor of St. Mary's
church, Hoboken, N j., who died on last
Wednesday, was one of the most widely
known Catholic priests in the country,
because of the discussion of his several
differences with Bishop Wigger and his
connection with controversies that have
arisen since Mgr. Satolli has been in this
country. His first trouble with Bishop
Wigger was over book that he wrote
some twelve years ago in which he advo-
Gated the election of bishops by priests, and
which the bishop said was unorthodox
Father Corrigan appealed to Rome, and
the pope and the cardinals sustained him
The more recent disputes between the
two were on the subjects of "Cahensley-
ism" and the public schools. The bishop
and the priest, however, were reconciled
to each other before the latters death,
and the priest received extreme ,pnetion
at the hands of his old antagonist.
