Why on the Punjaub River.
10y Associated Press

CALCUTTA, May 2~S.-Disastrous
floods have recently caused considerable
damage in the Province OF Kulu. The
Punjaub River became damned at
%Charkkupri by a landslide, and an i'm
mense lake was formed behind the
dam.
Yesterday the waters, which had been
slowly undermining the dam, caused its
collapse, and the water swept like a tor
rent over the threatened district.
II is estimated that at least 200 people
lost their lives by this disaster. which
also caused immense loss OF live stock

Says the patriotic Boutelle, in the
House, in speaking of the Administra-
ton policy in regard to Hawaii: THE
mere formal performance of a duty on
the part of the executive which ought to
have been performed long since-the
fact that the Administration has per-
formed this duty reluctantly, haltingly,
grudgingly and secretly--does not relieve
us from our responsibility or our duty.
The outrage upon every principle of
public honor that has characterized that
so.called Hawaiian policy from the be-
ginning has been carried fittingly to the
end; and every schedule of International
probity, every idea of National dignity,
every sentiment of public honesty and
every impulse of American manhood, has
been trampled under foot by this Ad-
ministration. In the name of the peo-
pie, in the name of freedom for mankind,
in the name of that sentiment which
recognizes struggles for liberty wherever
they may exist or succeed, l ask this
House to repudiate this mass of evasion,
to come back to the bed rock of the first
principles of the Republic in its better
days and to join heartily in doing what
ought to have been done long ago,
namely to express our cordial cOngratu-
lation to the republic of Hawaii"

President Cleveland's " Puplic Office
is Public Trust has long since been
turned toward the wall. 1t did good
service during the last campaign but the
less heard of it now, the better, for the
President. His latest dickers in the
tariff discussion before the Conference
Committee gives the lie to his profess
siOns. The extraordinary statement is
made that the President has given direc-
tions that the conferrees should proceed
with the bill, and that he would see that
the louisiana Senators should vote for it.
But how the President can deliver the
louisiana vote without the bounty is not
understood. Why he should be engaged
in the delivery of votes at all will also
not be understood. 1t is significant,
however, that the tariff muddle is just as
far from settlement as ever notwithstand-
ing the Presidents attempts to override
the will of the Senate, by bestowal of pub
lie patronage "a repetition of his bribery
practices during the Silver fight. Among
his latest attempts to break the oppOsi-
ton to his tariff ideas in the Senate are his
deals with Senators Harris and Vest,
both of whom have been on the side of
Senator German. For Senator Harris,
he removes, by life appointment to the
bench, the only dangerous opponent of
the Senator, in his contest for re-elec-
ton; for Senator Vest, he appoints as a
judge, personal friend of the Senator's.
This appointment has been long sought
These two Senators are SAID to be now
hedging in their strong opposition.
Free coal, at least, may be one of the re-
suits. This common bribery, for bribery
it is, i'll becomes him, who, by hisprofes-
sions of honesty, in public and private
life, gained the alteration alike of Mug
wumps, and of the honest among the
regular Democracy, and stamps him as
guilty of hypocrisy and dishonesty, as
though he was ward politician rather
than the president of the United States.

1857. The Democratic attempt to resur-
rect Calhounism has brought down upon
the Cleveland Administration in the au-
tumn elections of 1898, and subsequent
ly the most tremendous popular rebuke
which any American administration
ever sustained in the first year of its ex-
istence, and unless all indications fail,
in the elections of this summer and fall
a still worse reputation is impending.
And in the midst of it all, we are told
that mo step backward in the destruc-
tive work of tariff reform" is the
unanimous cryn of Democratic conven-
tions and meetings throughout the coun-
try! How thoroughly, genuinely Demo
cratic, how intensely BOurbonish, is this
circumstance which this Democratic or
gan cites as the basis of self-congratula-
ton! In point of absolutely asinine in
fatuation we can think of only two his
torical parallels-one, Nero tiddling
while Rome went up in flames, and the
other, the Democratic National Conven-
tion of 1854, unanimously resolving, the
year after Gettysburg, and while Grant
was even then drawing his circle of iron
around Lee, that the war for the Union
was a failure.
If the Herald wants to warm the
cookies of his heart with another in
stance of what it euphemistically de-
scribes as Democratic loyalty, let 1T re-
fleet upon the thrilling fact that here
and there there are unterrified citizens
who still regularly cast their votes for
Andrew Jackson. Journal.

THOROUGHLY DEMOCRATIC.

If anybody thinks tariff reform senti-
ment is less strong throughout the coun-
try than it has been, let him follow the
proceedings of the Democratic conven-
tions aud meetings that are being held
in various sections of the country nova
days. No step backward is the unani-
nous cry.-Boston Herald.
In this paragraph our contemporary
Inadvertently calls attention to one of
the chief characteristics of the Demo-
cratic party-its blind and bigoted
Bourbonism. 1t is not the first time
that the political organization with
which the Herald is affiliated has proven
its sheer inability to learn, but the pres
ent demonstration of its impotency in
that direction is the most vivid and sig
nificant which it has given for third of
a century. The very menace of an over
throw of the American protective sys-
tenn has occasioned widespread disaster,
and reduced the country to the keenest
distress it has experienced since. the
shareholders tariff of 1946 reached its
logical elimination in theIgreat panic OF

President Cleveland has notified Chair
man Wilson, through Mr.. Breckenridge
of Arkansas, recently appointed Minister
to Russia, that he will divest him of the
yellow jacket of imperial favor unless a
tariff bill on Administration lines is per-
fected this week. There has been some
doubt as to whether Senator Villas of Wis
consin or Don Dickinson of Michigan
was the Ii Hung Chang of the Cleveland
dynasty, but it appears that neither of
these cuckOos holds the high position
accorded to Mr.. Wilson by the message
of the President. Mr.. Wilson has been
given an impossible task by the Presi-
dent, but the message shows the con-
tinued obstinacy of the Administration
for free coal in behalf of the Nova Scotia
syndicate, and is still another Indication
of the seemingly irreconcilable differ
ence between the Senate and House. The
President has been extremely annoyed
by the criticisms of the conduct of Mr.
Breckenridge of Arkansas in continuing
to carry out his behest on the floor of
the House and in the Conference Com
mittee since his appointment as Minister
to Russia.

The pugilist, Corbett, and his Gentle
man Jack" troupe, who have been tour
ing England, haYe returned after an un-
successful trip. In America, these plays
with Sullivan or a Corbett as the hero,
seem to touch the popular taste. In
England the popular taste refused to be
touched, which is certainly most cred
liable to the English people. The plan
of allowing a pugilist to appear as the
centre piece in high class theatre, with
nothing to sustain him as an actor but
his prize ring reputation, and of making
every word and gesture of his support an
effort to raise him to a higher elevation
in public estimation, is discredit to the
profession of acting and discredit to
the people.

The Democratic statesmen are in an
excellent position to drop the tariff bill,
for everybody can hold somebody else
responsible for the collapse of party pol
icies. The House can censure the SEN
ate for destroying Democratic measure.
The Senate can reproach the President
for interfering with the legitimate func-
tions of Congress. The President can
condemn both houses of Congress for
blundering incapacity and wanton per-
tidy. Drop the bill, gentlemen, and a
grateful country will accept your apollo
gies. 1t will not discriminate against
anybody, If you will only adjourn Cone
gress and get out of the way.

Washington dispatches of Wednesday,

of Kentucky, was presiding over the
committee of the whole in the House,
this afternoon, he was notified that Sec
retary Gresham desired to see him in

had occurred, but it was subsequently
learned that the Secretary had notified
him the Republic of Hawaii had been

"The courage displayed by the Yer.
mont Democrats in holding conventions
and nominating full State, county and
local tickets is worthy of better cause"
says the Boston Transcript. This cour-
age is far from the sublime, however,
when 1t is the price of public patronage.
For, as is truly said by the Worcester
Telegram: Had the Democratic post
masters of Vermont observed the order
issued recently by Postmaster General
Bissell directing them to keep away
from caucuses and nominating conven-
tions, there would have been no conven-
tion. Outside of the postof1ices and
other Federal offices there are not Demo-
Gratis enough in Vermont to man Dem
