A Reluctant Admission.

The New York Tribune, in an article
discussing the Hawaiian documents sent
10 congress by the President the other
| day, says: eve take pleasure in saying
that the part Of this last document
which. by approving the course Of Mr..
Willis. exculpates 'the president from the
charge of seeking to evade responsibility
for the humiliating issue Of his scheme,
is the one thing in all this wretched bust
ness which does him credit.
Throughout this whole Hawaiian bust
ness the republican papers have not hest
tated to make the most outrageous
charges against the President for which
there was no foundation whatever. They
have not only exceeded the bounds Of
decency in their attacks upon him, but
they have deliberately attributed mean
motives to him without any excuse for
doing so, for the purpose Of bringing him
into discredit with the people
When it was announced that Minister
Willis had made demand upon tie pro-
visional government 10 resign and per-
nit the restoration of Queen Liliuokalani,
they said the President would endeavor
a
by declaring he had gone beyond lis in
structions when he continued his efforts
for the queens restoration after she had
declined to agree to the terms upon which
her restoration had been undertaken
They were so sure that he would not as
sure the responsibility for the minister's
acts that they could hardly find words
sufficiently strong to express their con
tempt for him and his alleged cowardly
conduct.
When the correspondence was published
and they found that the President as
sumed all responsibility for what had
been done, only the Tribune had the de-
cency to admit that it and other republi-
can papers had been guilty of contemplate
conduct in making charge against the
President for which there was no founda-
ton
The record the President has made in
the Hawaiian affair is highly creditable
to him. It is a record upon which he can
afford 20 stand, and it is safe to say that
it is approved by nine-tenths of the people
of the country.
1t is doubtful if the President feels any
particular interest in Queen Lilioukalani
His purpose in what he has done was
to protect the national honor. The facts
show that the revolution would not have
been successful, and perhaps would not
have occurred, if the representative of
this country in Hawaii had not en-
couraged and aided it not only
with his sympathy, but also
with an armed force of the United States
This country therefore occupies
the position of having overthrow the
government of Hawaii, the government
that is wanted by the great majority of
the Hawaiians, and having set up pro-
visional government composed of carpet
baggers and supported by foreigners. The
President believed it to be the duty of the
government to undo the wrong that this
government had done, and to the extent of
his constitutional power he endeavored to
undo it. That is the whole case The
people of this country approve what the
president did and congress will iudorse
the policy he attempted to carry into
effect

A dispatch that illustrates the terrible
effectiveness of modern weapons of war
comes from Sierra Leone, South Africa.
Forty men of the frontier police" it
says, defeated a force of 1000 Sofas.
Two hundred and fifty Sofas were killed.
Including their chief, and $50 of them
were taken prisoners" And all this was
accomplished by forty Euglishmen and
hnglieised Africans in a few hours! The
police, though outnumbered by 100 to /,
defeated their antagonists, killed more
than six times their own mum Der, and
took a body of prisoners four times as
large as their own. These extraordinary
results were accomplished with aid of the
Maxim machine gun, the terrible small

IT is to be hoped that the tariff debate.
under the tive-minute rule, will be as
much a bona fide discussion of
the tariff as it was during the
time of the set speeches. So
far the speakers have confined themselves
TO. their subject, and injected very little
acrimony into their remarks. Mr.. Will
son, in opening the debate, set a high
standard of candor and consistency, and
most Of the speakers have endeavored
faithfully to follow his lead. Even the
republicans have, to marked degree, for
them, stuck TO the text.

Twenty factories at Danbury have been

A new political order has been formed
at Lansing, Mich. 1t is oathbound, and
has grips and passwords, the members
swearing that they will not divulge its
secrets upon pain of terrible penalties.
The objects of the order, it is understood,
are ito work against monopolies and in
favor of the masses, to encourage a semi
military form of the order, to labor
against any foreign influence in the af-
foirs of the nation, either political or re-
iTious, to break down trusts ana to pro
mote liberty. They want absolutely no
interference by foreign powers in any
thing, desire the government to issue
enough money for the business of the
country, will demand postal savings
banks, want all unearned land grants re-
deemed for actual settlers, the reforma-
ton of all legislation, the exclusion of
pauper labor and the guarantee of equal
rights to all" From the foregoing it NAV
be inferred that there is a close bond of
fellowship between this new party and
the populist party. Its purposes are Of a
decidedly populistic nature.

There is a movement among the cotton
manufacturers of Georgia looking to the
organization of southern cotton maufac-
turers' association. The initiative, it is
believed, was taken by certain mill men of
Augusta. What the prospects of success
are cannot be stated at the moment, but
it seems that there should be little diff
Guilty in bringing the southern manufac-
turers together for the purpose stated,
namely, reading papers on matters of
mutual interest. discussing improvements
in machinery and explaining experiments
made for the benefit of the mills and the
trade. The New England manufacturers
have such an association, and have found
it to be of considerable benefit to them,

rilden and the Income rax.

The proposed income tax is the same in
principle as that which was repealed
| twenty years ago. The proportion of rich
to poor population at present is not ma
terially different from what it was then,
especially at the north. The total of popula-
tion has increased greatly since that time,
but the proportion of the number of per-
sons who would come under the income
tax to the number who would be exempt
remains approximately the same.
In New York state when the income
tax was in force there were a great many
more persons without taxable incomes
than there were having such incomes, just
as there are to-day. About that time
Samuel J. Tilden was in the ascendancy
as party leader. He was OPP
posed to the income tax. Just
previous to his nomination for
governor suit was brought against him
by the government to collect back taxes
which it was alleged he had failed to pay.
The suit was clearly brought for political
purposes, to show before the people that
he had evaded taxation. 1t was believed
by his opponents that the masses favored
the taxation of incomes and they hoped
to influence the masses by holding up Mr..
Tllden as rich man who sought to shirk
his share of the burden of government.
But, Notwithstanding the suit and the
! accuation, Mr. Tilden was nominated and
elected. And subsequently he was elected
to the presidency of the United States.
Had the unpopuarity of the income tax
been confined to those vino paid it, the
fact would have been apparent in the re-
suits of the Tilden campairns.

War Talk in England.

There seems to be genuine war panic
in the newspaper offices of London. They
are SO well satisfied that England will be
engaged in great European war within
the next few weeks that they are employ
ing war correspondents and making other
arrangements to get early and full ac-
counts of battles. The London Telegraph
the paper which has the largest circula
tion in England, has been urging the gov
eminent to require the subsidized steam
ships to take on board an armament
at once. 1t expects that war
will come quickly and Unexpectedly, and
it thinks the government is criminally
negligent in not making preparations for
it.
But the government leaders are not APP
prehensive of war. Mr.. Gladstone has
gone to pleasanter climate for the bene-
fit of his health, and other leaders are
not in the least excited by the news
paper talk. The people are not alarmed
and the money market is showing no
signs of the predicted disturbance.
1t seems remarkable that only in the
newspaper offices is there war scare.
And yet it is admitted that the newspa-
pers are sincere. Have they information
that justifies their alarming statements
1t is not believed they have. They are
basing their action upon the unsettled
condition of affairs on the continent. 1t
is true that in Italy the people are exhib-
iting signs of unrest, and elsewhere there
are indications of a desire for a
change. The accidental attack
upon English soldiers in Africa
by the French may cause trouble,
though it is asserted that the French will
make an apology that the English govern
ment cannot very well refuse to accept
While it is true that war may be immi-
neut the chances are that it is a long way
in the future. No one of the nations is
likely to precipitate, without the bsst of
reasons a contest that might result in
materially changing the map of Europe.

If EVERY DEMOCRAT is challenged in
the Democratic primary today who
voted in the Republican primary
Thursday. it will be hardly worth while
for the Democrats to open the polls.
But probably it won't cost any more to
buy them today than it did on Thurs
day. So if some ambitious Democrat
has the coin they will conclude after all
that they were Republicans on Thurs,
day for revenue only.
