Now that the Republican rags OF
the State have found that things
are all straight in Surveyor Cen
eral Jones' Office, they are accusing
him of being a railroad corpora
ton tool just because he is a friend
of Mr.. C. C. Wallace. If the slob-
bering idiots who dish up the rot
ten slush that is served to the
readers of this State had half as
much sense as Mr.. Wallace or Mr..
Jones, they would understand that
the people know something about
who Wallace and Cleveland are.
Mr.. Wallace is gentleman who
has brains enough to be employed
by the c. P. Company; Mr.. Cleve-
land has been the man who has
picked up the stray pieces once in
a while for his underhanded work
for the Railroad Company. John
E. Jones has been a miner nearly
all his life, is as square man az
was ever made, and as Governor
of this State will never allow his
friendship for anybody to interfere
with performing his duty.

THE ballots this year will contain
proposition to elect United States
Senators by direct vote of the peo-
pie. This question should be voted
yes" on by all who desire to clear
the Legislature of the dirty work it
has to do every four years. When
U. s. Senator is to be elected now,
it is the main fight of the session,
and all other matters seem to be
secondary. though they are of much
more Importance very often. The
combinations that have to be made
for the senatorial vote are detri-
mental to good legislation. Give
the people the right to vote for men
for this office direct by voting for
the proposition on the 9th of next
month

A VOTE for Francis G. Newlands
for Congressman is vote for the
right man for the right place. He
has larger interests in Nevada than
anybody, and you are foolish if you
think a man won't look out for his
own interests. Such legislation as
ne can secure to aid his mining
and irrigation interests in Nevada
will aid the State and every citizen
in it. Vote for Newlands.

THE Sacramento Bee charges that
the little boy that Pharo's daughter
found in the bull rushes was her
own and that she placed it there to
fool the old man. 1t seems a little
late to dig up these scandles on the
girl and we think the Bee could find
enough sensational stories in the
back records of the candidates in
California running on the various
State tickets, without giving the
mother of Moses a rap. If the story
the Bee writes about Pharo's daugh-
ter is true she, at least, ought to get
the credit of producing one of the
greatest men in bible history. She
had no reason to be ashamed of the
boy.-Appedl.

THERE never should be doubt in
your mind about voting for the Sill
yer Party nominees for both State
and county Offices. Every man on
the silver ticket is just as capable
of filling the position to which he
aspires as any of the other party
nominees or Independents, and they
are all upright honest men. What
more do you want?

SENATOR JONES

The following is what New York
correspondent has to say:
John P. Jones is an. intellectual
giant and towers head and should
ers above any statesman in this
country with one or two exceptions.
He is acknowledged universally,
both here and abroad, to be the
greatest living financial authority.
He lie always up to date. What
tremendous energy, what enthusi-
asm, what "a power of analysis he
shows in his speeches and works.
For eight consecutive days he hurl-
ed defiance at the Cuckoo" of the
Senate who clamored for the repeal
of the Sherman act When he COM
piles one of his great speeches or
works in favor of monetary reform,
he often shuts himself up for weeks
and works day and nights like
Laboulaye, Cernuschi, or Balzac
and Dumas. And now the classic
wall Of the AstOr house ring with
his deep, penetrating voice which is
like the distant roar of the lions in
Hagenbeck's menagerie or the in
cessant sobbing of the sea on the
shores of the beach as the meadows
of amethist roll away in mist. was
accorded the honor of an inter vie W
with the Senator the other evening
and never was more imprt ssed with
his tremendous mental force and en-
thusiasm. His dark, deep set con-
templative eyes at one moment
lighting wi tn fires of some grand
thought, his deep rounding voice,
now full of disdain or pathos at the
wrongs of the people and then full
of exaltation at the prosperity and
happiness he would confer on the
people by his labor of love and vast
intelligence. His wonderful men,
DRY and his thousand historic and
financial illusions, all, fascinate
and hold his listener however much
he may disagree with him, in rapt
admiration. The Senator has the
subtlety and cast iron logic of Cal
houn or Webster, the enthusiasm of
Clay or Wendell Phillips, the dig
nifty and force of Roscoe Conkling
or Grant, charming and magnetic
equalled only by Mr.. Blaine and
knowledge of the financial question
unequalled by and man living.
Like O'Connell and Clay he is
great commoner-he wants to see
all the people employed, prosperous
and happy.

JIM DOUGHTY, the Peoples Party
nominee for Congressman, paid this
office short visit yesterday. He
is very pleasant young man and
to use his own expression, if good
looks cut any figure in the campaign
he would have a walk over with
Newlands and Bartine. The name
of the party seems to be the only
thing Mr.. Doughty is not pleased
with, had the Carson Convention
adopted the name of Peoples Party
he would have sought the nominal
ion before that body. AS it is he
has sought sort Of Independent
nomination, and is running on a
ticket the party of which has the
same platform as that of the Silver
Party. This is the first ticket of
any kind that Mr.. Doughty has run
on, and he has an idea he is sure
winner.

the United States Government and its
own officers. There is, | submit, no
precedent in International law for the
theory that such action of the Amer-
can troops has conferred upon the
United States authority over the internal
affairs of this Government. Should it be
true, as you have suggested. that the
American Government made Itself respon-
sible to the Queen. who, it is alleged, lost
her throne through such action. that is not
matter for me to discuss, except to sub
nit that. IL such be the case, it is a matter
for the American Government and her to
settle between them. This Government, a
recognized sovereign power, equal in
authority with the United States Govern
ment and enjoying perfect diplomatic re.
lations with it, cannot be destroyed by 1t
for the sake of discharging its obligations
to the eX-Queen.
Upon these grounds. Mr. Minister, in
behalf of my Government, / respectfully
protest against the usurpation of its
authority as suggested by the language of
your communication.
1t is difficult for a stranger like yourself,
and much more for the President of the
United States with his pressing RESPONSE
bilities, his crOwdiDg cares and his want
OF familiarity with the condition and his
tory of this country and the inner life of
its people, to obtain clear insight into
the real state of affairs and to understand
the social currents, the race feelings and
the customs and traditions which all con-
tribute to the political outlook. We, who
have grown up here or who have adopted
this country as our home, are conscious of
the difficulty of maintaining stable govern
ment here. a community which is made
up OF five races, of which the larger part
but dimly appreciates the significance and
value Of representative Institutions, offers
political problems which may we'll tax
the wisdom of the most experienced states
man.
For long years large and influential
part Of this community. including many
foreigners and native Hawaiians, have
observed with deep regret the retrogres-
sive tendencies of the Hawaiian monarchy,
and have honorably strlven against them,
and have sought through legislative work,
the newspapers, and by personal appeal
and individual influence to support and
emphasize the representative features of
the monarchy, and TO create a public senti-
ment favorable thereto, and thereby to
avert the catastrophe that seemed inevita-

feeling secure in our perfect diplomatic
relations with your country, and relying
upon the friendship and fairness of Gov
ernment whose dealings with US had ever
shown full recognition Of our independence
as sovereign power, without any ten
dency to take advantage of the disparity
of strength between tha two countries. If
your contention that President Cleveland
believes that this Government and
the ex-Queen have submitted their re-
spective claims to the sovereignty of this
country, to the adjudication of the United
States is correct. then. may l ask, when
and where has the President held his Court
of Arbitration2 This Government has
had no notice OF the sitting OF such tr-
ounal and no opportunity of presen ting
evidence of its claims. If Mr.. Blount's
Investigations were part of the proceed
ings OF such court, this Government did
not know 1t and was never informed of it,
Indeed. as L have mentioned above. we
never knew until the publication of Sec
retary Gresham's letter to President Cleve-
land few weeks ago that the American
executive had policy of interference ce
under contemplation. Even if we had
known that Mr.. Blount was authoritatively
acting as Commissioner to take evidence
upon the question of the restoration of the
ex-Queen. the methods adopted by him in
making his Investigations were, L submit,
unsuitable to such an examin alton or any
examination upon which human inter-
ests were to be adjudicated. As
am reliably informed. he selected
his witnesses and examined them in
secret, freely using leading questions, Civ
ing no opportunity for cross-examina-
tion, and often not permitting such ex-
plantations by witnesses themselves as they
desired TO make of evidence which he had
drawn from them. 1t is hardly necessary
for me to suggest that under such mode
OF examination some witnesses would be
almost helpless in the hands of an astute
lawyer, and might be drawn into saying
things which would be only half truths,
and standing alone would be misleading
or even false in effect. Is 1t likely that an
investigation conducted in this manner
could result in a fair, full and truthful
statement of the case In point? Surely
the destinies of friendly Government,
admitting by way of argument that the
right of arbitration exists, may not be
disposed of upon an eX parte and secret
Investigation made without the kno wledge
of such Government or an opportunity by

with US. What Mr.. Damon said
TO the ex-Queen lie said on Lis
individual responsibility, and did not
report it to us. Mr.. Bloun's report
of his remarks on that occasion furnished
to the Government its first Information of
the nature of those remarks. Admitting,
for arguments sake, that the Government
had authorized such assurances, what was
''her case" that was afterward to '''be
fairly considered by the President of the
United States ?" Was it the question of
her right TO subvert the Hawaiian consti-
tuition and to proclaim a new one to suit
herself. or was 1t her claim TO be restored
to the sovereignty. or was it her claim
against the United States for the alleged
unwarrantable acts of Minister Stevens,
or was it all these in the alternative /?
Who can say? But if it had been all Of
these, or any of them, IL could not have
been more clearly and finally decided by
the President of the United States in favor
Of the Provisional Government than when
be recognized 1t without qualification and
received its accredited Commissioners,
negotiated a treaty of annexation with
them, received its accredited Envoy Ex-
traordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary.
and accredited successiveiy two Enyoys
Extraordinary and Ministers Plenipoten-
tiary to it; the ex. Queen in the meantime
being represented in Washington by her
agent, who had full access to the Depart
ment of State.
The whole business of the Government
with the President OF the United States is
act forth in the correspondence between
the two Governments and the acts and
statements OF the Minister of this Govern
ment at Washington and the annexation
comm sisoBers accredited to il. If we have
submitted our right to exist to the United
States. the fact will appear in that CORE
spoDdence and the acts oi our Minister and
commissioners. Such agreement must be
shown as the foundation OF the right of
your Government TO interfere, for an arbi-
traitor can be created only by the act #
two parties.
The eX-QueeD sent her attorney to Wash
ington to plead her claim for reiDstatem
in power. or failing in thar, for a money
allowance or damages. This attorney was
refused passage on the Government dis
patch-b boat which was sent to San Fran
cisco with the annexation commissioners
and their message. The departure OF this
vessel was less than. two days after the
new Government was declared and the rs-
fusal was made promptly upon receiving
the request therefor. either on the day the
Government was declared or OH the next
day. If an intention to submit the oues-
tion of the reinstatement of the ex-Oueen
had existed. why should her attorney have
| been refused passage on this boat? The
ex-Queen's letter to President Harrison.
dated January Is, the day after the new
Government was proclaimed, makes no
alluslon to any understanding between her
and the Government for arbitration. Her
letter is as follows:

dent Of the United States-MY GREAT AMI

loyalty and revolted against the constitutional
government OF my Kingdom. They have at
tempted TO depose me and TO establish pro-
visiOnal government, in direct conflict with the
organic law OF this kingdom. Upon receiving
incontestabe proof that his Excellency the
Minister Plenipotentiary OF The United States,
aided and abetied their unlawful movements
and caused United States troops to be landed
for that purpose, submitted 10 force, believing
that he would not have acted in that manner
unless by The authority OF the Government
which he represents.
This action on my part was prompted by
three reasons: the futlltty OF conflict with
the United States; the desire to avoid violence
bloodshed and the destruction of life and prop
erty, and the certainty which 1 feel that you

wrongs may have been inflicted upon us in the

The arrival In port yesterday Of two
steamers from Honolulu. the City of Pc
king bringing sdvices to January and
the Australia leaving the islands one day
later, puts the country in possession of
the latest advices from the scene where
nearly all national interest now ceDters.
The two steamers reached port within a
few hours of each other, the Peking lead
ing in and having on board Hawaiian
Minister Thurston returning to his post
of duty, but there was no material differ
ence in the advices brought.
There has been no fighting at the isl
ands, but there is q tense excitement
which is apt to precpitate a crisis at any
time. The action of Minister Willis in at
tempting to carry out the discIedited policy
of restoration after the whole matter had
been referred to Congress had its legti-
mate effect in arousDg in the minds of the
party of the ex-Queen a hope that there
would he armed intervention by the
United States in behalf OF the dusky lady !;
and it is related that upon the 18th of De-
cember last the natives even came swarm
ing into Honolulu from the valleys all
about with the idea that restoration was
tn take place then and there, and prepared
for great jollificaton over it.
1t is an odd coincidence, if 1t was net
planned, that upon the day of the arrival
of the steamers with Dole's reply Pres-
dent Cleveland should have elected to give
the latest instructions to Willis to Con-
gress and the country. and TO give out also
the reply Of President Dole declining to
abdicate at the bidding of the American
chief executive. In fact, the reply OF Dole
sent out from Washington crossed on the
wires the same document sent East from
San Francisco 1t is noticeable that in his
last instructions to Willis, Secretary
Gresham takes a decidedly different toDe
instructing the American representative
that the whole matter has been submitted
to Congress and that, pending action by
that body. he shall consider all former in-
structions fully complied with and take
no further steps in the ma tier.

what occurred, TO undo the ac ion Of the
Minister aud reinstate her and the author
lily which she claimed as the constitutional
sovereign of the Hawaiian Islands,"
Also, ut becomes my further duty to
advise you. sir, the executive of
the Provisional Government and your
Ministers of the Presidents determine
tion of the question which your action and
that of the Queen devolved upon him, and
that you are expected to promptly relin-
quish 10 her her constitutional authority"
l understand that the first quotation is
referred to in the following words of the
second: (which your action and that OF
the Queen devOlved upon him" (the Presi-
dent of the United Slates), and that the
President has arrived at his conclusions
from Commissioner Biounts report We
have had as yet no opportunity of examn-
ing this document. but from extracts pub
lished in the papers and for reasons set
forth hereafter we are not disposed to sub
NIT the fate of Hawaii to its statements
and conclusions. AS a matter of fact, n o
NJ EN- Der of the Executive of the Provisional
GoverDment has conferred with the ex-
Queen. either verbally or otherwise, from
the time that the new Government
was proclaimed till now. with the
exception of one or two notices which
were sent to her by myself in
regard to her removal from the palace and
relating to the guards which the Govern
ment first allowed her, and perhaps others
of like nature. ] infer that converse
tiOD, which Mr.. Damon. then a Der of
the Advisory Council, is reported by Mr..
BlOunt TO have had with the eX-Queen on
January II. and which has been quoted in
the newspapers, is the basis of this astOund-
ing claim of the President of the United
States of his authority TO adjudicate upon
our rights as a Government 10 exist. Mr..
Damon, on the occasion mentioned, was
allowed to accompany the Cabinet of the
former Government, who had been in con-
ference with me and my associates. to
meet the ex-Queen. He went Informally,
without instructions and without authority
to represent the Government or to assure
the ex-Queen that if she surrendered
under protest her case would afterward be
fairly considered by the President of the
United States" Our ultimatum had been
already given TO the members of the ex-
Cabinet who had been in conference
