Judge Lectured the Witness.

William Batische and George Bacey,
charged with grand larceny and receiv-
ing stolen goods. were on trial before a
jury in the Criminal Court Yesterday. Both
men asked for separate trials. which were
granted. The arrest OF the prisoners had
been made on the complaint of the Nell
wain-Richards Plumbing Company, charg-
ing that a large quantity of brass had been
stolen from their establishment in the form
of gas burners. When placed on the stand
the witnesses for the State were unable to
recognize tie burners as those stolen, and,
in fact, male out n very bad case for the
State. The jury decided that there was
not much in the case before the trial was
concluded and Judge Cox dismissed the
case. He also took occasion to deliver his
opinion of a set of witnesses who came
into court without any defined idea of the
case in which they were called.

A DIPLOMATIC MYSTERY.


The Infamous Policy Of C1evelAod In The
Hawaiian Affair.
Owing to the sudden and inexplic-
able silence of MIR. Cleveland and tho
state department, the American people
are left entirely in the dark as to the
situation at Honolulu. Save only for
the vision conjured up by the pictur.
eseue diction of one of the Corwin's
sailors who sung out over the rail:
''Hades's a-poppin' down there, the civ
knowledge A general impression.
founded On nothing more substantial
than the elusive ''they say"-that Min
lister Willis has presented to President
Dole a demand that he step down and
let Queen Lii step up is abroad in the
land. and conjecture as to the effect
of this diplomatic communication made
to the government to which, in APP
parent amity, Willis was accredited, is
naturally active.
The net effect Of the presidential pol
icy of concealment will be to awaken
very general suspicion that the admin.
istration has sustained a very serious
blow in Honolulu and desires to keep
the fact secret Until it can prepare an
explanation and a remodeled policy.
There are many ways in which action
in Honolulu might seriously affect the
Cleveland following. Perhaps the
most disastrous thing would be the
complete success of the Cleveland pol
icy, for news of the reinstatement Of
the queen. the return TO power of her
British favorites, the reinstatement in
the line of succession of the half-breed
princess with her British guardian,
would be to many Americans tidings
of n crime. II is possible that the pol
icy of restoration has not succeeded
and that Minister Willis has been
CURLY ordered to leave the islands
an order which President Dole as the
de facto head of an established govern
nent has entire right to issue. Or
there is still the chance that the inter-
ference of Willis has led to fighting
and that by the Quixotic appearance Of
Cleveland in the defense of an absurd
and contemplate monarchy an ordi-
narily peaceful community has been
stepped in blood. 1t is even within the
limits of credibility that United States
forces may have been employed under
the orders of Clevelaud's envoy.
Speculation upon these points is Of
course idle. but mere enumeration of
the varying conjectures in the public
mind shows how unwise is the admin
istration's attitude of secrecy. In all
probability the ruth, when it comes,
will prove i,r less sensational than the
conjectures And concealment can be
for a brief time only. The government
can anchor its revenue cutter far from
land and prohibit communication with
the shore, but the next steamer from
Honolulu must bring full and trust
worthy news. 1t will tax the magma
ton of Americans to believe that the
tidings now kept SO dark secret
aboard the cutter Corwin can add in
the slightest degree to the stupidity
and infamy OF the Cleveland policy in
dealing with Hawaii.-Chicago Times

FEAR DEFEAT.


Ane democracy IN . Pickle Over the
Tariff Situation.
There may be something in this loud
talk among democratic papers about
an alleged corruption fund to defeat
the Wilson bill which does not appear
on the surface 1t is apparent that
there are democrats of high standing
in their party who are not at all SAN
guine about that measures prospects
for enactment, and some of them
would be glad to have a chance to lay
its defeat, if it should be defeated, to
the use of money by the interests
which the bill assails Indications of
hostility to certain provisions of the
bill have been shown by democr ats in
different sections of the country, and
if the bill should fail of passage it
might be deemed expedient for the
to the corrupt use of money by the
tariff baronS" A change of five or
six democratic votes in the senate
would defeat the bill, and there have
been reports that many of the party
in that body are only iukewarm in
their devotion to it
But it is hard to see how the dem
ocrats can be benefited by laying the
defeat OF the bill to the use of money
if defeat should come. 1t would be
better, indeed, for the democrats to
have the bill fail through honest oppo-
sition to it in their party than through
bribe-taling, for in the first case the
party would be merely chargeable with
lack of sagacity and practical states
manship in being unable to frame a
tariff bill which its members could
unite on, while in the other case the
party would be open to the imputation
of insincerity and vena.ity. The coun-
try knows that the democracy has
majority in both branches of congress,
and if, in this contingency, the tariff
measure which it has framed fails to
pass the party will be PIT in an ex-
ceedingiy embarrassing position, and
it cannot escape the condemnation
which it will deserve in such situa-
ton.
The democratic party will find that
it cannot dodge or evade this tariff
issue by charging the protected inter
ests with bribery or corruption III any
form. The party has placed itself on
record on this issue both by the de-
Iiverances of its national conventions
and by the policy which it has adj
vocated and the measures which it has
framed. 1t will be Judged by the
record which it has thus made even if
the present bill fails of passage from
any cause. Retreat from its position
would be cowardly and defeat through
a surrender to corrupt influences would
be dishonorable and contemplate. 1t
has antagonized the republican party
on the leading issue of national con-
Germ, and the country wants to see
what policy it proposes as a reform tor
the abuses or alleged abuses which it
condemns. The democracy cannot re-
tain power by pleading the baby act
or by shiftlessness or trickery OF any
sort-St Louis Globe-Democrat

oTIMETo REDUCE THE TARIFF.

Government Revenue Falling or Fast
Enough Without Wilson Bill Reduction.
In view of the falling off in the gov
ernment revenues and the low condi-
ton of the treasury balance, it will be
apparent that the majority of the ways
and means committee have chosen an
inopportune time to bring forward
their bill for the revision of the tariff,
a measure which provides for a serious
reduction of the revenue from customs
As to the extent of that reduction there
was no agreement at first. Chairman
Wilson was quoted as estimating it at
different times at from SIS, OOO, 600 to
Sc, 900. 900, while ex-Speaker Reed, the
leader of the minority in the house, put
the reduction at s74, 100000. Chairman
Wilson's latest estimate is contained in
. statement lately prepared showing
the quantities and values of imported
merchandise for 1892 and 1898, with the
rates of duty and duties paid for these
years, together with the rates proposed
by his bill and the estimated revenues
under it, based upon like importations.
1t appears from this statement that
the duty received under the Mckinley
bill for the year 1892 was S173, O9S. Al.
The duty estimated under the Wilson
bill for a like period would have teen
t107, $50, 40. making an estimated year
ly decrease of Sos, 407, 900. The total
duty received under the Mckinley law
for 1898 was S1Ss, AIS. asa The duty es-
timated for like period under the Will
son bill would be $l222, Cos, 66s, an esti-
mated decrease of S75. 7O7.7s4. It APP
pears, therefore. that there is not a
substantial agreement between the
estimates Of Messrs- Wilson and Reed
a. to the reduction on the basis of the
importations for the year 1898. OF
course it should be pointed out that
these estimates are subject to the linn
itation that they do not take into ac-
count the possible or probable increase
in the revenue to be expected from in
creased importations on the basis of
lower duties A calculation of this
kind. however, leads into the region of
conjecture
