ADJUSTMENT TO THE WILSON BILL.

'If we could be that Congress would
pass the Wilson bill, the business of the
country could adjust itself TO it," is the re-
mark heard among men who complain OF
the paralysis of business. To be sure, it
could. Man is SO constituted that he can
adjust himself 10 most anything. The per-
son who cannot afford TO live in man
sion can adjust himself TO a cottage, and
if a cottage is beyond his reach, he adjusts
himself To an attic. Just now. people who
have hitherto been having a house to them
selves are TO use the phrase of a rental
agent, doubling up" which is leaving
many houses to be piacarded for rent. Peo-
pie who have been in the habit of eating
sirloin can adjust themselves to forequarter
cuts. but the adjustment is not pleasant.
The man who has had good clothes from
the taiors or their rivals selling the best
ready-made can adjust himself TO second
hand misiits, but the adjustment is a degra-
dation, moral and intellectual. as well as

Yesterday a native of Russia came into
the Journal office with a piece Of news,
which was that d child when taken to be

The rejection Of Mr.. Harrison by the
Senate for surveyor of customs at Kansas
City, was practically reaffirmation Of the
old heresy that Senators have the right to
portant officers. The Missouri Senator'S had
selected man for the position, but he was
not the man whom the managers of the
Presidents organ in that city, the Times,
wanted, so he was not nominated by the
President. Now the Missouri Senator'S have
secured the rejection of the Presidents
man. And yet the Constitution confers the
making of appointments upon the President.

The statement that the exQueen of Ha-
wall will file a claim against the United
States for damages in a very large sum is
probably true The Journal suggested, sew
eral weeks ago, that this might be the out
come of the matter, and that if it were the
ex-Queen would be able to make a strong
case out of the official statements and ad-
missions of President Cleveland and Secre-
tary Gresham. In their insane desire to car
ry out their policy of spite they have gone
great lengths in. asserting the rights of the
Queen and the responsibility of the United
States for the overthrow of monarchy.
Shrewd lawyers can make very effective
use of these official statements. If the
claim is filed 1t will be without a pre-
cedent in history and would certainly prove
very embarrassing to the government.

ural, speaks of the result of ten years Of
prohibition, as follows:
A trial of ten years has demonstrated that
in many counties the prohibitory law has
fully met the expectations of it's friends,
having successfully driven the saloon sys-
tenn out of existence in those counties While
this is true, there are other localities where
open saloons have existed during this period
of time in spite of the law and in spite of
the most determined efforts. TO close them.
In such localities the open saloon exists
without restraint or control, q constant
menace TO the peace and safety OF the
public.
That is, prohibition has proved most ef-
fective where a strong public sentiment has
sustained it, but where it has not the liquor
traffic has been as free as if there had been
no law whatever. The majority Of the
friends of temperance, in view of such re-
suits. would have local option-prohibition
where the majority declares for It, and high
license as the alternative elsewhere.

Not the least important of the many dis
closures made by Minister Willis's report
is that concerning the character and abil-
ity of Liliuokalanis advisers. OF one Mr..
Willis says: He displays very little knowl-
edge of the structure and philosophy of the
government which he so long represented"
of another, "his reputation is very bad;"
of third, 'he has had no public expert
ence;" still another is "the notorious half
breed, who engineered the revolution of
1885," and finally Mr.. Willis admits that
there are but two of them to whom min
isterial bureaus could be safely intrusted."
This, remember, is the testimony of Mr..
Cleveland's own minister. And these are
the people whom the President of the
United States would place at the head of
the Hawaiian government, together with a
Queen who in this day and generation calm
ly talks Of beheading her political oppo-
nents! A truly American proceeding,
surely.

OF corruption. The citizens of New York
knew in vague way that their municipal
government was corrupt, but it was not
until Dr. Parkhurst and his society under
took to bring about reform that the full
extent of the criminal dishonesty was
known. His disclosures were revelation
TO them, and have created a feeling of
shame and Indignation that has already
had its effect upon guilty officials. causing
them to make certain concessions TO the
reform sentiment In spite of the high
handed measures of Tammany and the
strength of the corrupt element the ma
jority of New York people are undoubtedly
in favor of clean and honest management
of their public affairs, and it is probable
that a continued agitation of the matter,
which Parkhurst and others seem likely to
maintain. will before long result in an over
throw Of the tyrannous power.

Court Yesterday.
Henry Z. Highton as attorney for Alice
Edith Dickson or Blythe has filed in the
Supreme Court his transcript on appeal
from the order Of Judge Coffey denying a
motion for new trial of her claims TO the
millions left by Thomas II. Blythe.
This is the absolute last of all the ap-
peals in the celebrated Blythe case. The
judgment of the lower court has been
affirmed in every instance and all the or
ders denying motions for new trials have
been sustained, with the exception Of this
one, the transcript being only filed yester-
day.
The petitioner claims to be the widow of
the deceased millionaire. and while not
dlsputng the claims OF Florence Blythe
Hinekley as daughter OF the deceased, yet
asserts her right to a share of the estate.
given therein by Judge Coffey, who, in re-
ship with the deceased, closed his iudg-
ment with these words: 1T NAV be a case
of hardship, but the petitioner was not the
wife and is not the widow of Thomas II.

The transcript is extremely long and
Hill cause dismay to the Justices, who
thought they had done with the Blythe
case forever. 1t is evident that Florence
Blythe is to be kept out of her property a.
long as lawyers can devise means OF DELAY.
Il is said that John ID. Spreckels has sup
piled most of the money for the alleged
widows lawsuit.
