THE WESTERLY CASE.

As we announced yesterday In our news
columns, the Democrats Of the House OF
Representatives will be asked to consider
the question of ordering an election to
fll the vacancy in that body from the
town OF Westerly caused by the failure to
elect the first Representative from that
town on the annual election last April
Representative Thomas w. Robinson Is to
present 1t for the consideration OF the
members. The House, under the consti'
tutionai limitation, has declared that the
persons claiming the seat OF first Repre-
sentative from Westerly IL not entitled to
the same because he was at the election
chosen to represent the town OF Westerly
in the Senate.
Article ", section @, provides that
"Each House shall be the Judge OF the
elections and qualifications OF It's MEM
bers." There Is not nor can be any con-
troversy over that point. When either
House records It's decision II Is hnal and
binding and appeals are useless, until an
appeal to the people can be made as was
the case In Newport.
Now, under section "a Of chapter 10 OF
the public statutes the House Of Repre-
sentatives can order an election to be held
In the town Of Westerly. 1t has not to
seek either the aid or countenance Of
either the Senate, Governor or any other
power to make the order.
Section 2s OF the same chapter provides
a fine OF $500 for the Town Clerk II he re.
fuses or negiects to issue his warrant for
such an election, and in this case the
Town Clerk Is the man whose seat is In
dispute and who was elected Senator, but
at the bidding OF his bosses refused to
qualify.
Section 20 OF chapter i31, known as the
"Ballot Reform law" provides a penalty Y
Of from $50 to $1,000 fine and imprison-
ment not to exceed one yea, or both, upon
all public officers who shall wilfully ne
glect to perform the duties required OF
them by the act, or who perform It In
such way as to hinder the objects OF it,
This provision would cover any per-
sonal objection the Secretary OF State
might have to printing and furnishing
ballots for such election.
But even II Secretary Utter, being
Westerly man, allowed his party feeling,
to get the better OF his judgment, and re
fused to print the ballots as required b,
law, there is another clause In the Ballo
Reform law which is as follows: "Tha
in case no ballots are provided at an,
voting place in accordance with the pro
visions OF The act, or in case no such bal
lots are at the polls and ready for tn
use OF the voters, the voters at such votin,
place may use any ballot and provid
themselves Herewith"
From every point OF view the case o
the Democrats is impregnabie. The Re
publicans, through their town clerk, coul
have done this at any time since tn
House adjourned last August. Failing I
have done so they have now no ground t
complain that period OF 20 days or NOR
will elspse before the town OF Westerl
will be fully represented in the lowe
branch Of the General Assembly.

THE CUCKOos RESPONDED.

Never since the organization Of the gov
furnished a more remarkable illustration of
cringing cowardice and trucking sub
servience to executive dictation than it
did yesterday in adopting the McCreary
resolutions on the Hawaiian affair. The
resolutions were drafted in the State De
partment and came from the committee
on foreign affairs with a virtual demand
from the President that the House adopt
them. In order to give them the appear
ance of a vindication of my plans they
assume as an established fact the utterly
exploded falsehood that Minister Stevens
aided in overthrow1ng the monarchy in
Hawaii by the illegal use of United States
troops. The administration has chung to
this lie with the utmost tenacity since the
beginning of the controversy, yet the evil
dence is overwhelming that Minister Stevens
did not do anything of the kind The first
resolution censures Stevens for something
he never did. The second expresses ap-
IL III ny NHC
President of the United States that inter-
ference with the domestic affairs of an in
dependent nation is contrary to the spirit
Of American Institutions" Yet for ten
months past the President has been inter
fering in the domestic affairs of Hawaii
and rying to overthrow the established
government Of the islands.
Scores of Democrats who voted for these
whitewashing resolutions have expressed
themselves privately as Disguised with the
Presidents throne-restoring policy, yet
when the White House clock struck they
FASTENED to do the cuckoo act. The action
Of the House comes very near being an in
suit to the Senate. where the foreign re-
lations committee has been making a
thorough investigation of the whole subject
and is nearly ready to report. TT House
committee has made no investigation and
its resolutions carry no weight. They will
have no effect on the action Of the Senate
nor on public opinion. The popular verdict
upon the subject is made up, and 1t is not
a vindication of the policy Of infamy. The
cuckoos have shown their subserviency and
stultified themselves to no purpose.

Each generation is apt TO imagine thai
the social problems with which il has to
deal are altogether novel and more COM
plicated than any that have ever gone be-

most of the problems Of to-day have existed
in some form or degree for a very long
much from one generation to another. and
While conditions do change they are them
selves but an outgrowth of human nature.
1t might be supposed that if any social
problem were distinctly a nineteenth cent
even that is very old. That il is not of re-
cent origin. even in this country, is shown

NO COLOR QUESTION IN HAWAII.

In his speech in favor of the repeal of
the national election law, Senator Palmer
charged the Republican party with insin-
cerity and Inconsistency because. while
in this country, it supported the revolution
which deprived them of their rights in
Hawaii. 1t was. he said, a colored mans
party in this country and a white mans
party in Hawaii 1t would be easy to turn
this charge against the Democratic party.
which. while 1t claims to be pre-eminently
the white mans party in this country, is
opposed to white men governing in Hawaii.
But the charge is not worth turning. The
argument is frivolous and unworthy to
be made on either side. A schoolboy should
be ashamed to introduce into n serious dis
cussion matter so irrelevant. In the first
place. neither the Republican nor the
Democratic party, as q party, has
taken any position in regard to Hawaiian
affairs. 1t is true that a large majority
Of Republicans sympathize with the pro-
vislOnal government because It represents
an nti-monarchica movement and stands
for liberty and progress, but so do many
Democrats. Most of fthe Democrats in Con-

injured by the influx OF cheap labor in the
form of incompetent workmen. There was
no trades union at that time, and the Sc
lectmen of Boston having no power to reg

ers went on to ask the General Court that
power be granted the selectmen for a regu-
lar and effectual execution of all such or
ders as are or may be made, referring to
the admission of inhabitants; that trades

They argued that the first was absolutely

and that the other was "of necessary con-
sequence to the good of trades and also
to the Commonwealth in preventing I'M

the protoplasm, as it were, of the labor
unions and organizations of to-day, which
are so intolerant of unorganized labor and
so clamorous for legislation in favor of the
unions? The labor problem has existed as
long as labor itself. and will last as long
as the world does.

SUCCESSOR TO DIR. MALL.
Rev. Charles Grieg, of Paris, Spends a
Day in the City.

One OF the foreign interests which the
Christian women Of this State have at heart
is the McAll Mission, located in Paris.
France, and the surrounding districts. This
mission was started many years ago by DIR.
McAI and his wife. who went from Eng
land They were evangelists. They worked
long and faithfully, and their efforts have
been greatly rewarded. A short time ago
DIR. McAu died. and his successor was
chosen from among the workers. Rev.
Charles Grieg. who had been a coworker
with DR.. McAll, was selected.
Mr.. Grieg is now making a trip through
the Eastern part of the United States, and
came to this city yesterday afternoon from
Chicago. The purpose of Mr.. Grieg's visit
is to tell the people Of the work done in
Paris.
1T is not for the purpose OF asking con-
tributions." he said. though IL any arc
offered they viii not be refused. 1 call IL

people of the work. IL will be continued

Does the support OF the mission halls
i'm Paris come entirely from the United
States?' was asked.
'There are now twenty two halls in Paris
and six in the provinces. There are sixty
auxiliaries in the United States, but much
assistance comes from England, Scotland
and France. Switzerland also contributes
TO the support, but the greatest amount OF
pecuniary help comes from The United
States. Indiana supports Sale Indiana in
Paris. Some Of the halls are supported by
a special auxiliary, as Sale Indiana Is:
others are not. however.
What is the relation OF the mission 70
"The mission is not denominational: II Is
simply evangelical. IL does not found
churches. a great part OF our work is TO
introduce the converts into the churches"
he said.
How is the mission succeeding haan-
cially
"At the time OF DR.. McAlrs death there
was a large deficit. The organization started
a McAH memorial fund TO meet IL, and the
greatest amount has come from the people
who attend the meetings at the halls. The
financial condition OF this country has not
as vet affected the amounts sent from here.
Our fiscal year has not closed. The dona-
tions to this work are small sums. 80 cents
or 81, occasionally S. The contributors ara
persons who feel their religious obligations.
and we anticipate no decrease for these two
reasons"
Mr.. Grieg is making a six weeks trip.
He leaves this morning for Cincinnati. he
was the guest of Mr.. and Mrs. T.. G. Cor
nelius while here, and yesterday afternoon
from 4:30 to 6 O'Clock received members OF
the local McAl auxiliary Informally. Last
evening he spoke in the interest OF the mis-
sion at the Tabernacle Church.
