The Talk OF Iape u c b ment.

WAsHINGToN. Jan. 1.-THE talk about I'M
parchment is extremely annoying to Mr.
Cleveland. so much Is known. though at
present the prospect Of impeaching him
may not be such as TO make any ono con-
fident it will be attempted. 1t sknown that to
him 1t Is 6 very disagreeable topic in the news
papers and private conversation. 1t 10 not
known yet to what lengths Mr.. Cleveland has
gone or may 90 in the Hawaiian infamy. This
is frequent remark. As a single sign II can
be stated that very recently Democrat OF
long standing in Washington had for his
guests something like q score OF gentlemen
all like himself undertaking adherents of
the party. Among them all Mr. Cleveland had
not one iustiteT. and few excuses The re-
mark that his present course continued much
further would lead to serious consequences TO
himself was not demurred to. Possibilities on
this line are disagreeable- Mr. Cleveland. It
is ascsrtained takes no one into his counssls.
He advises with others only SO far as suits his
pleasure. He seeks no suggestions as to what
course he should pursue. lie decides for him
self. and lays out the course for others.
In the present complications no two with
whom he has talked agree as to what he has
done or proposes to do. lie tells no one any
more than he thinks would DO ssTviceable to
his own purposes. Not within tine recollection
OF punlie men of tho day has there been a
President who has SO persistently stood aoof
from advice and advisers. lie wants servants.
not cOunsclors 1t is wonderful how common
ly this is said Of him Of late by members OF
both parties. Only short time ago he spoke
OF having Congress on his hands as an extreme
hardship. Now he Is referred to as an afflie-
ton which Congress has on its hands and it is
noteworthy that II should DO proposed to I'M
peach him to get rid OF the burden.

that IN persistently and successfully urg-
ing Mrs. DoMINIs 70 accept the prescribed
| conditions OF her restoration. and in sub
sequently making under circumstances
, which implied n threat OF force. a demand
for the surrender Of the Hawaiian Govern
ment, Mr.. WILLIS Loyalty complied with the
orders Of the President, both In the letter
and in the spirit.
There is another plea put forward by the
Herald in It's generous eagerness to save
Mr.. CLEVELAND from the consequences Of
violation OF the Constitution. "If."it says,
"the Administration has any reason to re-
greet the policy it pursued, it is because it
did not direct Minister WILLIS to stop In
terpositiou in behalf OF the Queen, the mo-
ment 1t heard OF her unwillingncss to com
ply with the conditions originally exacted."
This, Of course. is an admission that there
was nothing in the last instructions" to
justify Mr.. WILLIS In abandoning his ef-
forts to carry out the original order. But.
proceeds the Herald. lin justification Of the
Administration failure to do this, 1t can be
stated upon authority that the President
was convinced tho Queen would remain
firm in the extreme views she held against
acceding to the offer OF the United States.
at the time Minister WILLIS informed
the State Department that check
had occurred to prevent carrying out
the restoration policy" Pltiful. indeed.
must be the state OF the President's
apologlsts, II this is the best excuse that can
be found for the failure Of the instructions
OF Dec. 0 to Indicate by so much as syllable
what Mr.. CLEVELAND now pretends that he
expected. What Was All American Min
lister to be left for weeks at Honolulu in the
belief that he was ordered TO violate both
international law and the American Constl-
tuition by demapding the abdicatlon Of a
friendly Government under n threat OF
force2 And was the sole obstacle relied upon
to avert such infamous offences, Mr.. CLEvE-
LANDS assumption that vicious colored
woman would persist in her vindlctive
purpose to refuse amnesty to her former
subjects
II such are the best defences that his
partisans can make for him. the President
may well cry. Save me from my friends!

In a speech delivered at Louisville on Jan.
8. HENRY WATTERsoN recalled. the history
OF the Democratic tariff plank OF 1892. and
dwelt upon the solemn. unmistakable. and
direct rejection by the Chicago Conven-
ton OF the Republican or semi-Republican
theory OF the tariff. and the substitution OF
the Democratic and constitutional theory.
Prof. WILSON and his acconplioas have
now substituted the Republican theory for
the Democratic theory. repaired and patched
the old robber tariff instead of making a
new tariff on an absolutely different prin-
ciple. tariff for revenue only. Mr. WAT
TERsON has not forgotten or swallowed his
principles as they have. The Star-eyed
Goddess Is not TO be hoodwinked. Anger
aud disgust now shine In her fair Inca
ments. and her strong white hands itch for
a cowhide. and to give ninety lashes to the
backs Of the jelly-hearted towards who are

He Must Make Reparation.

rs Mr.. CLEVELAND has done wrong to
LIJIUoKALAsI which ought to be undone !;
and as Congress will not undo 1t, he must
make the reparation himself.
O. When she was put off the throne last
January she dropped into private life. and.
under the civilized system OF law now
established In Hawaii she was able to live
comfortably and peacefully She had money
enough to support herself luxVriously. and
the new Government did not interfere with
her enjoyments. She was getting on pros
perously, and apparently was not diseon-
tented. for her desire for comforts was
gratiaed. She did no: dream OF restoration
% tie throne by any aid from this republic
Even her darkened Intelligence looked upon
such hope as absurd. Probably she made
up her mind that her old business as u
Queen was Irretrievably gone; and she set
tied down TO make the best she could OF
the situation.
In this state Mr.. CLEVELAND found the
woman when he went intO the White House I.
and at once he proceeded TO destroy her
peace OF mind. He whispered to her that
he. In the abundance of his power. would
restore her to the throne and make Queen
of her again; aud TO prove the sincerity OF
his purpose he OYerrO1e or stretched his
constitutional authority by sending sort OF
body servant to Honolulu 90 make up a case
In her favor. ON which he could lift her to
the throne again,
he got exactly what he wanted, Of
course. and thon he sent constitutional
Minister 10 Honolulu, with secret instrue-
tions to push through the job. Mr.. WILLIS
kept his intentions from the knowledge of
the Provisional Government. but he in
formed the Queen Of them. Ho told her thai
even Mr. CLEVELAND was afraid of putting
her back by the armed force Of the United
States. but he kept mum On the subject
with the Provisional Government. and pro-
dueed on them the impression that he was
prepared 10 use such force in her behalf
he bluffed them, in other words.
II everything had gone ia accordance with
the plot. he would have rushed the woman
into the palace almost Immediately. and
before the assembling OF Congress; but

The city Is about to begin the construc-
tion OF a public park. TO be known as the
Harlem River Driveway. great in oppor-
tunties OF landscape and in usefulness
to the public. to cost several mil
lions OF dollars. Public opinion has
boon expressed with siugularly emphatic
unanimity that this new park should
be laid out in a certain way. namely,
that there shall be an exterior sidewalk
whereby the particular strip next to the
river shall be devoted to the service OF the
many thousands Of pedestrians. to whom
1t would be OF special value. instead
OF to few hundreds OF drivers to whom
II would be OF 10 advantage whatsoever.
After the patient study of the landscape

all concerned have agreed that the water
front should be for :ae public.
Every art society in New York has united
In protest against the plan insisted upon by
the Park Commissioners. which provides
one sidewalk. far from the river bank. All
the other and various organizations which
have spoken upon this question and they
have been many. have expressed the same
wish. The trotting horse drivers them

have joined with the artists cheerfully. not
only out Of consideration for the public on
foot. but in defence OF their own good name
as citizens possessing the common desire
to improve and beautify the city. and to
respect the enlightened methods it has
habitually approved.
Finally the New York press. absolutely
without a single exception. have advocated
the plan Of two sidewalks. and the Mayor
has put himself on record with the ma
jority. Both the officials OF the park sys-
TEN. whose function IL Is to deal with such
enterprises. plead earnestly for this plan.

undesirable scheme upon the city. through
their power over the public money. then in
deed is the city in a pitiable state of helpless
ness. At this time the City Club has made
a conspicuous effort for usefulness by an-
nouncing it's determination TO see whether
the law can be 80 despotic and oppressive
as to sustain project so offensive and I'M
justitiable. A failure Of their effort can
make nothing but discreditable victory
and a lasting damage to the prestige and
