NO LONGER IN ACCORD.

The New York Evening Post is
thoroughly dissatisfied with the
Democratic party. It's views on a
variety of topics have been ignored,
and this is the result:
There is an anti Democratic wave
sweeping over the entire country,
and its effects are felt in reduced
Democratic majorities," even in
Texas. The hard times have much to
do with this, but the main cause is
laundering incompetency exhibited
by the Democratic majority in Con
.gress, aud especially in the Senate.
The whole country is so weary and
with a party that can do
nothing but daily and talk, when
trade and industry are in suspense
and can be restored to activity only
by prompt action, that it is with ex-
treme difficulty that any man of in
telligence can say word in defence
Of the Democrats, much less vote
with them.

Advocated Revolution.

LONDON, May 3.-Lord Roseberry
spoke at Manchester tonight, ex-
pressing the opinion that the
Liberal party would soon carry the
conviction of the English people in
favor of home rule. He was not
sanguine that the various measures
which had already been presented
would pass Parliament at the pres
ent session. This was because of
the abuse of procedure in the
House of Commons in the form Of
obstruction. He believed time was
not far distant when the people
would protest against this abuse
and demand strict account of all
the transactions by Parliament.
He advocated revolution as
remedy for Parliamentary con-
gestion.

States does not hold to the doc
trine of perpetual allegiance, it is
equally true that she presumes a
citizen to intend to retain his
allegiance, In the absence of an
express Remuneration of it. 1t is
very important to notice in any
case that the secretary does not
express any positive opinion, and
his reply is not therefore by any
means conclusive of the question,
as il has arisen here.

GREsHAM's RULING.

The ruling of Secretary Gresham
on the question of the oath of allie
glance taken to this Government
seems to have shaken the iron
nerves of our contemporary, the
Star. There does not, however,
seem to be any occasion for solici.
tude. There are hundreds of Ha-
waiian-born foreigners, who have
attained years of maturity without
suffering for the want of any pro-
lection beyond that which little
Hawaii has been able to accord
them. These Hawaiian citizens have
even been able to travel, moving
freely and boldly from place to
place, without molestation. If one
lives quietly and peaceably, with
out breaking the laws, the chances
are that he will live and die with
out ever becoming the subject of a
diplomatic complication. On the
other hand, if ore goes into "
revolutions, he must take his
chances, without expecting any
great advantages from the protec-
ton of any government except the
one he aids in creating.
A man said the other day !:
"When we shouldered guns to
fight Uncle Sans sailors and ma
rines. we were not asking for any
protection" This seems to hit the
nail fairly on the head. IF we
mistake not, the editor of the
Star was one of those who
were foremost in advocating
the. course of courage and honor,
In those somewhat doubtful De-
cember days. He was not looking
for any protection then.
AS to the law of Secretary
Gresham's ruling, it seems to be of
a very dubious quality, and hardly
in accord with the invariable tradi-
tons of, the State Department.
While it is true that the United

THE current number Of the Re.
view of Reviews gives up two
pages to a discussion of the Ha-
waiian question and its present
status. It IS, if possible, more out
spoken in favor of annexation than
ever. The Review takes the some
what hopeful view that annexation
may be obtained even before the
close of the present Administration,
as it claims that Cleveland has
done nothing which would be in
consistent with his acceptance of a
treaty, when negotiated with an
other government.

GOOD WORDS.

will remember Professor Sharp
Secretary of the Academy of Ma
tural Science of Philadelphia, who
spent some time here not long ago
He is a warm believer in the Pro
visional Government and in the
future of Hawaii. Under a late
date he writes as follows:
Everyone with whom I have
spoken in this quiet town of Phila.
delphia is in favor of annexation
and on my return many friends
wanted me to go on to Washington
and talk with Brer Cleveland.

of President Dole's answer to Cleve-
land.
"But this is Philadelphia, and
you will remember that it is called
an overgrown village, and that it
was William PENIS hope that his
settlement upon the Delaware
should grow to a beautiful, green
village, and some facetious New
Yorker said that, in this respect,
it has far surpassed Williams
widest hopes.
We'll, Philadelphia, as green as
it is, is strong for annexation, and
at the next Presidential election [
think that if it be possible to find
a Clevelandite he will be glass
cased and placed in a. dime mu-
scum as a curiosity"
Friends in Boston, who have
superior opportunities for observing
the course of affairs, also write in
very encouraging strain. One says:
" A plebiscite of the United States
today would show more than two
to one in favor of the annexation of
Hawaii"
A gentleman in Scotland, who
keeps a close watch on Hawaiian
affairs, writes:
" 1 am glad to observe that the

MR.. WILLIS SALARY.

In the recent debate lii the
House of Representatives at Wash
ington, several Republican mem
bers objected to the item of salary
for Mr.. Willis, the Minister to Ha-
wall, on the ground that he had
failed to discharge his duty, and
the omission to vote him the usual
salary would cause his recall.
The Washington Star, in its news
columns, refers to the matter as
follows:
| The clerk then began to read the
| bill by paragraphs for amendment.
Mr.. Lacey offered the amendment, of
| which he had given notice, to strike
out the appropriation for minister
to Hawaii. In his opinion, the people
of the United States were heartily
ashamed of the conduct of our Minis,
ter at Honolulu, and his presence
should be withdrawn. This could be
accomplished by cutting off his sal
airy.
The amendment reopened the Ha-
waiian controversy, and was partici-
pated in by Messrs. Grosvenor (Ohio),
DinsmOre lark. Van Voorhis IN. W,
Milliken (Maine), Springer Ill.), and
Hit Ull.)
The latter, the head OF the foreign
affairs minority, declared that ordina-
rily he would oppose the withdrawal
OF a minister, but the current bust
ness at Hawaii could be transacted by
the Consul General. The withdrawal
would not be permanent. The ire
sistible force OF public opinion would
constrain the administration to change
its policy, and if this amendment were
adopted it would be construed as an
expression of the disapprobation of
the representatives of the American
people.
SO far as the people of these
Islands are concerned, we do not
believe that they sympathize with
any such proposal.
Mr.. Willis, as the agent Of the Pre- |
sident, followed out a certain line of |
policy. Little discretion was allow
ed to him. He was directed, on
landing here, to "roar as gently as
any sucking dove,". for the purpose
IF restoration. Perhaps Talley-
.and or Metternich could have
lone it successfully, but Mr.. Willis
S not to be blamed if the roar, as
directed from Washington, failed
o fracture the walls which environ
he Provisional Government.
Mr.. Willis was bound by every
consideration, to act Loyalty to-
Yards his chief, and for SO doing,
would certainly be unjust and
Unfair to punish him, as it would
re unjust to punish the Captain of
warship for executing an order
,iven by his superior.
Aside from the incident of the
ttempted restoration, Mr.. Willis
as shown himself to be an intelli- i
ent,. able representative of the
United States, and he has now
God knowledge of the political
ituation. His later dispatches
how that he has correctly "sized
p" the prominent men here, on
9th sides of the political ques-
ons, and if he is left to the use of his
wn judgment, in diplomatic affairs,

A Mothers Instinct.

In the western part OF Massachusetts
n man had a fine stock-farm, but a few
weeks ago fire broke out in the barn
and burned not only the structure and
the hay, but most OF the animals also.
After the fire the owner walked over the
ruins 1t was sad sight 70 see the
charred bodies OF his fine Jersey cows,
and his high-splrited horses. to say no
thing Of the money lost with them, but
at the end of the barn he saw sight
which touched him mora than all the rest.
There sat an old black hen. He wondered
that she did not move her head TO look
at him. as he came near her. but he
thought she must be- asleep. He poked
her with his cane. and, to his surprise, the
wing which he touched fell into ashes.
Then he knew that she had been burned to
death. But out from under her wing
came faint little peep. and pushing her
aside with his cane, the man found-what
do you think?--ten little live, yellow
chickens! The poor hen had sacrificed her
own life to save them and had held her
place in the fire - Cas- abianca held his
on the burning deck. That sight topohed
tho man more than anything else.
