A NEWSPAPER SERMON.

The New York Herald is not a
journal for which as a rule we
entertain a very high regard, but
we are willing to give the devil his
due. 1t publishes every Sunday
morning short editorial sermon,
and generally very good sermon
too. The warmly appreclatlve
estimate of Gen. Armstrong which
we reproduced yesterday was one
of these Sunday sermons.
The character OF Gen. Arm
strong was one which commanded
sympathy and admiration from
friend and foe. It was gentle,
strong Christian character, and
perhaps found nowhere a better
simpler expression, than in these
words of his final testament. They
express the quiet confidence OF a
courageous nature, of a perfect
self-command. The faith is not
dead which can still produce such
men.

A SOLEMN MATTER.

Mr.. Theo. III. Davies has written
another letter. 1t is plea to the
Government to "rise to deep and
solemn sense of the gravity OF the
situation"
Mr.. Davies himself takes very
"solemn view of the situation.
His situation, surrounded by an
nexationists and hard times, is like
that of Daniel among the lions. He
laments the fall of heathenism in
Hawaii. as Jeremiah lamented the
downfall of the Jewish State, and
the utter decay of righteousness.
With this marked similarity in
temperament, however, the resem-
blance between Mr.. Davies and
jeremiah ceases. jeremiah bewails
the triumph of heathenism; Mr.
Davies It's downfall.
AS to the spirit with which the
Provisional Government will deal
with its problems, Mrs Davies need
entertain no solicitude. We pub
lish State paper this morning
which is animated by the highest
sense of moral responsibility and
the most scrupulous regard for the
public welfare, as well as for those
high and permanent interests o.
liberty and civilization for which
true American hearts, and true
British hearts too, have never ceased
to beat. We commend these inter
ests to the very particular atten
ton, to the Solemn" consideration
of Mr.. Davies. 1t is the captiou
opposition of men like him which
chiefly imperils the cause of pro
gressive civilization in this coun
try. That this civilization has tri
umphed, and will continue to d.

A LETTER from an importer,
which we publish this morning,
endorses the demand for the ap-
pointment of an appraiser. We be-
lieve that business men generally
approve of the proposition, and they
are the best judges of its merits.
The position will be one of great
importance, and everything will
depend on the appointment OF a
man qualified by his character and
business experience to discharge
it's duties with fidelity and intelll-
gence.

"A NEW YEARS GATHERING.
Portuguese Children Celebrate at
Mrs. Frank Cookies.

There was pleasant gathering
on the afternoon of New Years Day
at the residence of Mrs. Frank
Cooke. Rev. Mr.. Scares, pastor of
the Portuguese Church, with the
teachers and many of the scholars
of his Sabbath school, were the in
vited guests. a variety of social
games were INDUCED in by the
party, on the lawn, where refresh
ments were served by the hostess,
who made every one feel welcome.
After this the company were invl-
ted into the parlor, where they
joined heartily in the songs which
they have learned to sing so well
at school.
The presence of the venerable
Mother Cooke, who has devoted so
much of her life to the cause of edu-
cation in these islands, added
greatly to the interest of the occa-
sion.
Some of the company, who have
left their ZONES in Jacksonville and
Springfield, Illinois, to cast in their
lot with those Of their race in these
islands, could not but contrast the
green grass and sunny skies OF
Honolulu with the ice and snow
with which their New Years cele-
brations in the home land were
always associated.

so, is an indication that the men of
intelligence and wealth who have
chosen to ally themselves with what
is worst in Hawaii, are happily a
pitiful minority.
These are very solemn" facts,
and we recommend them to the
notice of the champions of retro
erosion, superstition and usurpa-
ton, wherever they may be hiding.

PRESIDENT DOLE TO president
CLEVELAND.

We present our readers this morn
ing with the full text of the reply
of President Dole 10 the demand
made upon this Government by the
representative of the United States.
1t is noble state-paper, strong,
dignified and convincing, and will
reflect lasting honor upon the able
man who stands at the head of this
Government.
The CAGE of Hawaii against the
Cleveland Administration is SIM
ply impregnable. The Government
of the United States has no more
right to interfere in the domestic
affairs of Hawaii than has the Gov
eminent of Great Britain. Hawaii
is fully sovereign, and her sover-
eighty cannot be impaired without
a violation of every principle of ma
tural justice and of positive law.
On what does the Democratic
administration base its claim to a
controlling voice in the internal af-
fairs of Hawaii? Plainly on the as
sumption that the monarchy was ov-
erthrown by the United States and
that, therefore, justice requires that
the status quo ante should be re-
stored. The assumption in question
is false and has been proved to be so.
But supposing it were true, would it
justify the conclusion?
To answer this question in the
affirmative is simply to deny the
right of revolution. The support
ers of the Committee of Public
Safety and the Committee itself,
using the right of revolution were
entitled to assistance from any
quarter. If it had been offered
then by the American Minister, or
the British Minister, they would
have been justified in law and in
good morals in accepting it. Ac-
cording to the Cleveland admins
tration a ''great wrong has been
done in Hawaii. But on their own
showing it was their own wrong,
the work of the United States it
self, acting through its regular rep
resentatives. Mr.. Cleveland and Mr..
Gresham nowhere contend that the
Committee of Public Safety ever
violated any principle of interna-
tional law. The crime which they
charge, and which they confess, is
of their own commission, for which
they themselves are solely respon-
slble. To punish the Provisional
Government for sins which it has
not committed, and with which
it is not even charged, is the most
monstrous act which has ever been
done in the name of justice.
Ifthis is the kind of thing that
is done for the sake of abstract
right" and ideal justice" we need
be surprised at nothing further. 1t
need excite no wonder that the tri-
bunal before which we are dragged
is secret that its method is inqui-
sitorial that the accused is tried
without notice and condemned
without hearing, and that the
criminal himself, the one who on
his own confession is the sole au-
thor of the wrong, is at once prose
cutting attorney, judge, jury and
executioner.

A coon pLATE0RM

There is nothing iaint-hearted or am
biguous in the platform Of the Republic
can party OF Michigan. IL is bold and
clearly defined declaration OF principles,
in full accord with the dominant Repub-
lican sentiment Of the country. IL reai-
firms with emphasis steadfast adher-
ence TO the wise tariff policy that dis
eliminates in favor OF home industries,
home labor and home markets. IL de-
clares unequivocally for true bimetal-
ism-ior gold and silver standard money,
equal in purchasing and debt-paying
power. So docs the Republican party
OF the nation.
IL declares that the Republican party
is labor's best friend, Tor it demands for
home labor protection against free for.
eign competition, the further restriction
OF immigration and the restoration OF
such conditions IA will give profitable
employment TO American workingmen.
That is the Republican policy, always has
been, and always will be. IL has been
labor's best friend ever since il was born
TO make all men free and lift labor up
out OF its degraded level. The platform
declares that law and order shall pre-
vail; and for arbitration az the best
solution OF labor problems and settle
ment OF labor disputes.
The convention gracefully recognized
the power OF the party press in the work
Of advancing the party's cause, and gave
it unqualified assurance OF the party's
confidence in it's honesty and integrity.
Very timely and proper was the con
vention's resolution OF congratulation
and good will to the young republic OF
Hawaii. which was at the same time n
fitting rebuke 20 the Cleveland admins
tration.
The platform is sound in every plank

SUGGESTIONS TO WORKINGMEN.

SUGGESTIONS TO WORKINGMEN.
While approving of the organization OF
labor the Philadelphia Times thinks that
the present organizations are most
faulty and defeat their own ends. In
order to remedy this condition OF affairs
il suggests to workingmen that they
adopt the following rules in the forma-
tion Of one or two or even more new
labor organizations:
First. No man should be eligible 20 member.
ship who Is not a citizen OF the United States by
birth or naturalization or who has not already
formally declared his intention 10 become so.
Second. No anarchist, socialist or agitator
against law or order or the rights Of property
TO all should be permitted 20 enter the organiza-
ton.
Third. Any member OF labor organization
who shall be guilty Of lawlessness In "A strike or
who shall aid and abet violence should be
promptly dismissed from membership, and
never again be eligible TO fellowship In the as.
ISOLATION.
Fourth No president or executive commit.
tee should be allowed 90 order n strike A
strike should be ordered only by the working.
men themselves In their local organizations,
and only those who are actual workingmen
should be- permitted TO participate In the
decision OF the question Of ordering strike.
Fifth. when workingmen have any grievance
II should be presented TO employers only by the
working men themselves. Idle officials who are
not themselves laborcrs should never be per
mitted 20 represent the workingmen in any dis
pute with their employers. Nor should they be
permitted 10 have any voice IN the question OF
ordering n strike.
sixth The number Of oilers who now live off
labor by filling Official postitions has become
enormous. There ARE hundreds OF them con
stantly travelling throughout the country, living
luxuriously and about the only practicable re
suits OF their efforts are increased labor disturb
ances and the loss of millions ofmoney annually
TO labor by causeless strikes.
These rules have one fatal deiect-that
OF abolishing the professional organizers
and agitators. IL il not to be expected
that any policy contrary TO their inter
csts can prevail, so that the suggestions
OF the Philadelphia paper are thrown
away. The workingman himself would
most likely approve Of n new order Of
things ON the lines set forth by the
Times, but unfortunately he has nothing

A RASoALLy AFFAIR.

The so-called Wilson tariff bill, as il
passed the house, made extensive changes
in the direction OF ad yalorem in place OF
specific duties. At that time, says the
Milwaukee Sentinel, there was n general
expression OF the administration press
in favor OF ad valorem duties. II we are
not mistaken, the Chicago Herald was
one OF the journals that took part in the
advocacy. But IL has become alarmed
lest the iavoritism shown by the Demo
cratic senate to the sugar trust will in-
jure it's party, and, in the heat oil its
argument against the senate tariff bill, is
led TO expose the manner in which nd
valorem duties promote fraud.
Instead OF specific duty on sugar, the
friends OF the trust have insisted on an
ad valorem duty. A specific duty would
not help the trust, but an ad valorem
duty gives IL protection. The proposed
duty in the senate bill is forty per cent.
adj yalorem. The difference in cost be-
tween raw and refined sugars is not less
than seventy-fiye cents on n hundred
pounds. A duty OF forty cents on this is
thirty cents protection to the trust
The senate bill further places a specific
duty OF twelve and one-half cents hun
dred on refined sugars, giving the trust
forty-two and one-hali cents protection
on every hundred pounds.
After this exposition, the Herald pro-
ceeds to point out the further advantage
the trust will gain, under the ad valorem
system, by differentiation OF its i'm.
ported sugars. ats agents in Cuba,
incorporating as independent purchas-
ers, can pay the planters 50 per 100
pounds and then sell the same sugar TO
the trust for, say, $3.50 per 100pounds.
Thus the trust can beat the government
out Of twenty cents OF revenue ON every
100 pounds, and increase its protection
from forty-two and onc-half tosiXty-two
and one-hali cents per 100 pounds, or
twelve and onc.half cents more than IL
has under the present law. And IL IL nm
open secret that thla is precisely what
the trust is intending TO do. IL is n tricky
and rascally business throughout" "
This argument against the al yalorem
system is equally valid IN the case Of all
articles imported upon which IL is prac-
ticable to place specific duties. The sys-
tenn is direct encouragement to fraud,
and naturally has the support OF the i'm
porters who contributed largely, like the
Sugar trust, TO the Democratic campaign
fund two years ago.
