SENATOR HERRING's APPOINTMENT.

SENATOR HERRING's APPOINTMENT.
In point Of character. qualifications
and experience, State Senator Grant
Herring, OF Bloomsbury. appointed yes.

this city, as collector of internal reve-
nue. for the Twelfth Pennsylvania dis
trict, is the peer Of any Democrat pro-
posed for the place. He is n progress
sive and Industrious young man, we'll
educated, popular and showing con
siderable evidence of diplomatic abil-
ity. He has been named after a SEEM
ingly spirited struggle, but as matter
of fact. the success Of his candidacy
was assured Blk months ago. During
this period Of waiting he has given
proof Of patience and equanimity, fac
tors needful in his business. He will
have the good will Of Scrantonians
generally, and the warm congratula.
tions of those Of his own political faith
who may be looking for soft bsrths as
deputy collectors,
Mr.. Herring's appointment has signi-
fieance chiefly in the light that it
throws upon the question of the pre-
dominant influence with the powers
that be. 1t settles anew the suprem-
scy Of Mr.. Harrity and the large weight
of Governor Pattison's endorsement
when presented at the white house.
The same influences which gave US Mr.,
Vandling as postmaster, have given us
Mr.. Herring, who, politically, is not a
bad double for Mr. Vandling, as col.
lector; and these influences have prac.
tically overridden the earnest wishes OF
Mr.. Cleveland's secretary Of the trea-
sury, and ignored the written protest
Of the majority Of the congressman di-
rectly concerned in the appointment.
Re there is any Interior significance in
the Herring triumph it is that tacit
acquiessnce in the Wilson programme,
combined with personal respectability,
business character and avoidance OF
too-a active participation in the rough
work of Democratic campaigns are es.
sentials to a realization of Mr.. Cleve-
lands favor.
There will be some speculation as to
the destination of the collectorshiT
headquarters under the new manage
ment. There was a time when Mr.
Hines could have got this thing slated
for Wilkes. Barre, but it is currently
reported that no immediate change will
be made, especially in view of the
handsome federal building soon acces
sible to Mr., Herring. The commercial
if not the geographical center of thu
district is Scranton; and 1t would be OF
decided advantage to the chief business
interests Of the district were the head
quarters to remain in this city, with
such an adjustment of the deputy col
lectors as to satisfy the needs OF dis
tant portions. All this, however, be.
longs to the future. For the present il
suffices to extend compliments and con-
gratulstions to the latest conspicuous
beneficiary Of the potent Harrity pull.

The one imperative duty of the admins
tration now is to stop Mir. Willis or any.
body else from meddling further in Ha.
waii. We ought never to have been mixed
up in this revolution at all. Having got
into It, it was question whether the
wrong done could be undone or whether
1t was worth while to try it.. At the most
it could be undone automatically, and that
having failed there is nothing left but to
drop the whole business and pull out of it
as promptly aud completely as possible.

Anxious to Drop the Subject.

With the refusal Of the Provisional gov
ernment Of Hawaii to comply with the
polite hint Of Minister Willis to step down
and out, the interest OF this administration
in Hawaiian affairs has definitely come to
an end. Ex.Queen Liliuokalani and Pres
ident Dole will have to fight it out with.
out any further interference on the part
of this government. A policy Of non
intervention, which should have been
adopted in the beginning, must now be
adopted out Of necessity.

THE BREWERS WHO contributed to
the Cleveland campaign fund made as
big a mistake as the workingmen who
were cajoled into voting for the advo.
cate of Industrial destruction. IL there
is any industry in the country that
has Cleveland's good will. it is some
industry that is not carried on in for
eign parts.

1t Was Literally an Act of War.
BalLimote Anerirnn, Rep.

baltimore american, Rep.
The act OF Minister Willis was an act OF
war. aud it was directly and deliberately
ordered by President Cleveland. No bo-
gus twisting Of the constitution can alter
the simple logic Of this overt attack on a
friendly government, and congress cannot
longer tolerate this grotesque misdrection
of the functions of the administration
without actually endangerirg its own in
dependence, and bringing discredit and
shame upon the American people.

But That Is What He Has Done.
II~1sL f,afn,, InsY T,J

We cannot believe Of Mr. Cleveland
that, having once taken congress into his
confidence, he would or could be guilty Of
the breach of good faith which the re
ported action OF Minister Willis implies.
Such course Of double-dealing would de-
stroy the administration, disgrace the
country, shock the civilized world.
