HILLS CHANCES.

We suspect that many of the delegates
who got up on chairs and desks at Sara
toga and shouted themselves hoarse in
honor of Senator David B. Hill are by
this time asking themselves if they are
really quite SO sure as they thought that
David B.Hill can carry New York State
this fall, and that when they undertake
to them which did not present them
selves during their attack of emotional
insanity, for that is what Enthusiasm of
the sort manifested in the Saratoga con-
vent ion really is.
1t must always be borne in mind that
New York is very large State, and a
very uncertain one When it's immense
vote is considered it will appear
that it is also one very evenly divided.
and for many years past very small
per cent. of change would have been
sufficient to swing the State from one
side to the other. 1t is State, too,
in which there is a large number of in
dependent voters, and of voters whose
party ties sit very lightly upon them.
There is to be sure great mass of
Democratic voters who are completely
under control of the bosses, and will
vote or not vote as the bosses command.
This vote CAN be used effectually to de-
feat any candidate the bosses don't like,
but it is not enough of itself to elect
man the bosses do like. So that really
Democratic success depends upon the
attitude Of the better element of their
own party and of the independents. With
all three Of these elements in line the
State is pretty certain to go Democratic.
But with any one of them out the
chances are against it.
TO succeed in New York this year the
Democrats have got to keep these three
elements in line, and they have got to
get most all of the individuals which
compose them to the polls There
is no question but that David B. Hill
will arouse more enthusiasm among Ger
tain elements of the Democratic party

Hill, 7" says a prominent Democratic
leader, would not have accepted a nomi-
nation if he had not believed he would
be elected, for Hill is shrewd, calculat-
ing politician There is something in
this, but not very much. In the first
place Hills nomination was forced upon
him under such circumstances that he
could not decline without abandoning
his party to hopeless disorganization
and defeat. All the big men had per-
emptorily declined to take the nomina-
ton. There were a lot of little men who
were ready to take it, hut the ncmina-
tion of any one of them meant a campaign
of lethargy and overwhelming defeat.
In this condition of despair the conven-
ton turned as one man to Hill as the
only Moses who could possibly lead them
out of the wilderness. After having had
so much at the hands of his party
it would have been the basest
ingrattude to have abandoned it in its
forlorn condition. Besides even if he were
might well, have reasoned that his aban-
donment of the party at this crisis might
ALLEVIATE their support from him at some
crisis in his career. But even assuming
that he accepted the nomination because
he thought he would be elected and
thereby would make himself inyincibIe,
that need give no one alarm. The
shrewdest men make egregious blunders,
indeed it sometimes seems as if they
made the biggest ones-long success in
Fspiring them with the notion that they
are men OF destiny, SO that their eau
tion is destroyed and they become rec k
less.

THEY'RE AFTER HIM.
The Chinese Have a Fancied Griev.
ance Against Mr.. Morgan.

The Chinese colony, for some
reason, has taken offense against
James F. Morgan, the councilman
and well known auctioneer. Po-
litical reasons are said to be the
cause of their resentment. They
are to get even for fancied wrong
by carrying into effect a custom
patented in Ireland, and known as
the boycott"
Mr.. Morgan was informed of the
fact yesterday by Chinese friend,
who told him that Chinatown was
decorated with placards requesting
all Chinese not to do any business
with the auctioneer under pain of
being punished in some manner.
Mr.. Morgan is not losing any
sleep over the alleged boycott, and
at the same time he is at loss to
know just how he queered himself
with the Chinese. The nearest ap-
proach to a solution of the affair is
that committee, of which Mr.. Nor
gan was chairman, recently report
ed in favor of bill that called for
the deportation of any future Chi
nese immigrants who would not re-
sign contracts to work in the fields
as laborers.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1894-03-02

Here was the President loaded with
a duty which, if il were one, he was
bound to perform, if at all, without
conditions. What business had he to
say to the queen: "My duty is to
restore YOU to your throne because
my Government put you off it; but l
won't do that duty unless upon condi-
ton that you will forego a large part
of your queenly powers ?" Thus keep
ing a poor discrowned queen out of
powers which her laws gave her as an
independent sovereign, and off of her
throne until she succumbed to his die
tation as TO what powers she shall not
use.
Understand, am merely discussing
the question of the right of a great
power that has wrongfully driven a
queen from her throne, to refuse to
restore her unless she will stipulate
not to execute a part of the estab-
lished laws of the kingdom.
From the moment of her refusal, ii
was our President that was dethron
ing the queen by his imposition of
conditions
In the light of common sense how
absurd this monstrous farce appears,
of our President undertaking to upset
or destroy a foreign Government that
his predecessor and he had over and
over again recognized as an existing
power, to be treated with as an indie
pendent nation, and in its place to set
up throne occupied by queen who
lost it through her usurpatiOns which
overturned the Constitution On which
it rested.
There is no warrant in the laws of
God or man to justify the President in
his course. Nor is there the slightest
reason why the Congress of this great
nation should declare war to accom-
plish such a purpose, or give any
sanction to the past or future inten-
tions of the President.
We do not want Hawaii at the eX-
pense of any war. Our relations 10
her and hers to US must be peaceful
and commercial; and while we can
not consent that any power of the
world, except her own, shall possess
or control her because of her peculiar
position on our Pacific Coast, we will
hold over her the perpetual shield of
our long established policy toward all
nations, known as 1.-The monroe Doc
trine."
We are neither "setter--up'' nor
"putters-down" of kings or queens.
The Provisional Government of Ha-
wall under President Dole has shown
itself under circumstances Of Su-
preD1e trial worthy of a seat among
nations. Our plain duty is to recog-
nize it by commercial and friendly
treaties that shall secure its indepen-
dence as a nation, and to US an ally
that shall be perpetual safeguard of
our western coasts.

Chinese Laws.

A law the influence of which
may be felt far beyond the domin-
ions of the Emperor of China is
now under consideration by the
officials of the Celestial Empire.
1t is nothing less than repeal of
the old statute which forbids the
Chinese to emigrate under pain of
decapitation. Although obsolete,
this ancient enactment is used by
informers and the local mandarins
as a means Of extorting heavy
tribute from returned emigrants in
order that they may secure i'm
munity from Its penalties. The
exactions and blackmail levied
on these returning Chinese
seem almost incredible; but there
are several well-attested in
stances in which wealthy Chi
nese from Singapore have been
stripped of their entire personal
possessions before having reached
their homes. 1t is estimated by
the Chinese Consul-General, at
Singapore, that of the 100000
Chinese residing at the Straits Set
Element at least one-half of them
would Immediately return home
but for fear of these exactions.
The new law might go far toward
solving the Chinese immigration
question. 1t is the wish of every
Chinaman to go home to die, and
many would doubtless depart each
year if they could be protected
against the official rapacity which
is fostered by the existing law

WILL WRITE A BOOK.
Mrs. Ellen Blackmar Maxwell Is
Here for That Purpose.

Mrs. Ellen Blackmar Maxwell
who has been in Honolulu for
about a month, has come here at
the request of her publishers, Hunt
& Eaton of New York, to write a
story of island life. The Hawaiian
question has aroused so much at
tention in the United States, that
everything regarding affairs in the
islands has an absorbing interest.
1t is for this reason that Mr. Max
well is to write her novel.
81 cannot tell you just what the
outline of my book will be-" said
Mrs. Maxwell yesterday. Il have
not been here long enough yet to
have completely formed my plans.
All can say is that the scene will
be laid in the islands, probably in
Honolulu.
81 have already written Il book
on life in India, that made ii great
success. 1t was called The
Bishops Conversion and treats of
missionary work in India. Within
a year after its publication, this
book had gone into a sixth edition.
The work on Hawaii, however, will
not deal with missionary TOPICS at
all, but will be purely work of
fiction"
'The Bishops Conversion" has
been most highly spoken Of by
both the press and public. The
story relates that a Methodist
bishop who was half inclined to
believe the current rumors that
the missionaries lack zeal and
earnestness and are extravagant in
their living, decided to spend a
year with them, living their life
and sharing their work and expe-
riences. The bishops wife is a
thrifty housekeeper and has the
true missionary spirit too, and
while she secretly hopes that the
missionaries will be vindicated
and her husband convinced, she
insists that they must only appro-
pirate as much for their expenses
as the salary allowed to the mis-
sionaries. Bravely and unfiinch-
ingly they try to adapt themselves
to the customs and climate of the
country, but before the year is out
the bishop is thoroughly converted
to the belief that those who stay at
home and criticize don't know
what they are talking about.
Mrs. Maxwell was a Methodist
missionary, and was for some time
stationed at the Lucknow Station,
in North India, which position en-
abled her to become conversant
with her subject. She will remain
here some time yet, and will
closely study many details of life
in the islands.

BEARDSLEY MILLIONS
A WIDOW SHOWS UP WITH A CLAIM
on THE BIG ESTATE.
Beardsley Died Aged Efghty-FOur
and the Woman Says Her Baby
Is His Child.

AUBURN, n. Y, July 25-Nelson
Beardsley, president of two local banks,
and director in all of the others; president
Of the Oswego starch factory, and many
times a millionaire. died on Jan. 10 last.
simultaneously a widow narled Mrs. Laura
A. Armstrong, living in a less pretentious
house in a quiet street, a mile away. as
sumed widows weeds and gave evidence
Of the most poignant grief. She sent floral
tributes to the dead millionaire's home. but
instead of being placed on his coffin they
were consigned TO the ash heap. She made
frequent visits to his grave in Fort Hill
Cemetery, and attracted much attention by
the publicity she gave to her acts. She
personally visited the tradespeople of the
city and announced that she was the
widow of Nelson Beardsley, ordering that
thereafter all bills should be made out in
the name of Mrs. Beardsley. Portions of
his estate were given to his numerous re-
lations, but the bulk of it was left in trust
for his six daughters. Nothing had been
said in his will of wife.
A bomb was exploded to-day, which gives
color to the woman's story that she in
tends to fight for share of the millions.
Through hers attorneys she has commenced
proceedings to establish her right of dover
as the lawfully married wife Of Nelson
Beardsey in his lifetime. she had lived
with him until the time of his death, and
claiming one child, Nelson ID. Beardsley,
survives as the issue of such marriage. Mr.
Beardsley was eighty-four years old at the
time of his death. The infant who bears
his name in these proceedings is two years
old.
Action was also commenced to recover
on two notes alleged to have been given by
Mr.. Beardsley in 1891 and 1892 The first note
is for $4,000. and is in the widows
possession. The other is for $4,000, which
she says was deposited in her private
apartment in the safe in Mr.. Beardsley's
bank. That note, she declares, is missing
from the box. She brings suitsagainst the
executors to recover the value OF the two
notes and interest. Her attorneys say they
commence proceedings in a few days to re-
cover the sum Of s70.000 which, she de-
clares, is the value of certain securities
given to her by Mr.. Beardsley in trust for
their infant child and which are also said
TO be missing from her private apartment
in the banks vault The public announce
ment of these facts created sensation to-
day which has never been equaled in the
community.
