have Senator Brice recently declared
that he was a democrat for the same
reason he has red hair-he can't help it
It's the same with the average democrat.
Mrs, j. Ellen Foster is here in charge
of delegation of the female mill work
ers of New England who have come to
protest against the passage Of the tariff
bill. They are representatives Of the
Woman's Republican Association Of the
United States. They say that the bill
in its present shape means starvation for
the mill hands of New England.
Members of Coxey's army may draw
their own conclusions as to the Wash
ington welcome they will get, from tie
fate of seven men claiming to belong to
the advance guard of that body, who
we're arrested this week while asleep in
an empty freight car, charged with
vagrancy, and sentenced to thirty days
each in the work-h house by the judge OF
tie police court.
The checklist American ever born isn't
in it with Mr.. Theophilis II. Davies,
guardian of the young woman who calls
herself Princess Kaiulani, heir to the
Hawaiian throne. Mr.. Dayies is again
in Washington, he says for the purpose
OF demanding the intentions OF the ad-
ministration towards Hawaii. 1t will be
remembered that he brought his ward to
Washington early in the present admin
istration and that by means Of judicious
"taffy" from the alleged princess to Mrs.
@. he was enabled to get the ear of Mr..
Cleveland. 1t is generally believed that
the misrepresentation of this man Da-
vies were largely responsible for the
riudiculous policy afterwards adopted
towards Hawaii by Mr.. Cleveland. After
the miserable failure Of that policy and
the modification it has caused the adj
min stration one would suppose that
Washington would be about the last
place that Davies would wish to be, but
here he is as big as life, and as full of
misrepresentation as ever. After much
persistency Davies succeeded in getting
a short interview with Secretary Gresh-
am, but he has not yet succeeded in get
ting beyond the private secretary's office
at the white house. Davies is not
native OF Hawaii, but is one of the Eng
lishmen who has grown rich through the
ownership of sugar plantations there
and the manipulation of commercial fav-
ors granted by the late royal govern
ment. and has no shadow of a right to
recognition by this government.
The house judiciary committee has
practically decided against the PROPOSE
ton to amend the constitution so as to
acknowledge the supreme authority of
God therein, by voting to lay the resolu-
ton providing for the change on the
table.
Mr.. Cleveland has given the cuckoos
from the states which are to hold demo-
cratic conventions this year a gigantic
task, in demanding of them that his adj
ministration shall be endorsed by those
conventions In some Of the states
Alabama and Missouri, for instance
this will be somewhat difficult, as the
democratic senators from those states
are openly opposed to the administration
and will use their power to prevent the
adoption OF such resolution. In Mis-
souri, the administration men have al
ready decided to do what the Cleveland
men so bitterly abused Senator Hill for
doing in New York in 1S92--hold snap
convention, on May 10. Republicans
feel deep interest in this fight as they
regard Missouri as riRhtfully belonging
in the republican column, anyway, and
the split that may result will help along
the good cause.
Rumors to the effect that the demo-
cratic breakup which is now threatened
will include the retirement OF two or
more members OF the cabinet are beng
discussed in inner democratic circles
with much freedom, but it is extremely
doubtful whether any member of the
cabinet will willingly retire, and it is not
believed that Mr.. Cleveland has asked
any of them to get out--he much pre-,
fers that they should stay In, for the
present at least.
The gloomy fears and the WEAKNESS
of soul, of which so many complain
