tory. or ne very much mistake the American
spirit Of even the cuckoo Congressman,
who consented. under piteous pleas and I'M
e1ampled pressure, TO interpose these thin
resolutions between the person OF GROVER
CLEVELAND and the indignation Of a great
majority ~ the American people.
II lie quite true that Mr.. CLEVELAND. II
left to himself. might interpret the resolu-
lions according to the letter and not accord
ing to the spirit. "If you will do 30 and
co." said the rich old man to his needy
relative. II will promise TO remember you
In my will" The thing was done. and when
tho will was opened the eXpectant relative
found therein this fulfilment OF the promise:
81 wish tn he especially remembered to
my nephew, john SMITH" Mr.. CLEvELAND's
recent empty demand upon the Provisional
Government. TO abdicate in favor OF Mrs.
DoMISIs, shows that he is quite capable. IL
left TO himself. OF meeting foreign interfer-
ence in Hawaii with some such protest as
this: "Inasmuch as the House OF Repre-
scntatives has. by resolutions OF Feb. I, 1894.
declared that foreign intervention in the
political affairs OF Hawaii will not be re-
garded with indifference by the Govern
ment OF the United States, and as such for
eiRn Intervention has now occurred. ] wish
it to be distinctly understood by all the
Governments OF the world. that the United
States is not Indifferent. l shall do nothing
under the circumstances. but the interyen-
ton is not regarded with Indifference"
But Mr. CLEVELAND would not be left to
himself The Democrats in Congress who
have now weakly consented. under pressure
OF all practicable inducements.to shield him
to a certain extent from the consequences OF
his own astonishing blunders and perverse
wrongdoing. would be the very first to give
expression to the Irresistible popular de-
mand for sharp and decisive measures. At
the first sign that any foreign hand was
stretched forth to take Hawaii, all the hum
bug an the false pretence OF the McCREARr
resolutions would vanish like fog before
healthy gust. and the American Protecto-
rate over Hawaii would stand forth visible
to all eyes. enforced by the cannon Of the
American navy.
That protectorate exists already, and IL
has just been declared to everybody con-
cerned by the resolutions adopted in the
House OF Representatives OF the Fifty-third
Congress. It is just as complete as IL the
treaty OF annexation had been ratified.
though It maybe found great deal more
complicated and inconvenient in practice.

The police census OF the unemployed in
New York reports them at over G.. 900. repre-
senting more than 5000 families compris-
ing over 2O6.OO0 persons. Of each OF which
families one or more members are out OF
work. In these families about six-sevenths
OF those usually employed are now without
employment. About four-fifths OF these
families. comprising more than 10000 per-
sons. reported themselves to be in need OF
assistance.
This police census was taken chiefly In
the tenement-house districts, and its pur-
pose was TO include only those who are ac-
customed TO work whenever they can get
work. but are now out Of employment.

until times are better. until the State Is better
able to indulge in expenditures which are not
