Senator Gray, of Delaware, who
shares with Colonel Villas, of Wiscon-
sin, the dubious honor Of being the
cuckoo of the administration clock,
made set speech Tuesday on the
Hawaiian situation. The formal
part of it was singularly unimpor-
tant. 1t threw no light upon history,
nor did it cast any significant shadow
before. 1t was solemn and some
what perfunctory defense of Cleve-
land. But before he sat down Sena-
ter Teller, of Colorado, asked him a
question which called out highly
satisfactory announcement, one
which will afford infinite relief to the
Hawaiian government and people.
ado you understand" said Mr.
Teller, chat this whole question has
been committed to congress?" To
this inquiry Mr.. Gray replied that
'the president says So" Following
up this point Mr.. Teller again asked
whether any effort was being now
made by the accredited agent of the
government at Hawaii to restore the
queen to power. He protested that
he knew of no such effort. After some
more beating about the senator from
Delaware sailed straight into port,
albeit flying the flag of discomfort
and undisgulsed chagrin. His words
were:
| say, as an American citizen, that
[ very much regret that the president
of the United States was not able to
undo the outrage and make repara-
ton for the wrong which was COM
mitted there on January IT, 1898. |
think that the good name and fame
of this country of ours was so in
volved that it would have been d
qualification to every patriO tic citizen
had the president been able to restore
the status quo Of January 16, 1898.
Why he failed is perfectly we'll known
now. That opportunity IS noU gone
and suppose 1t wiLt neUer return.
There is nc mistaking the meaning
of this. 1t is a confession of utter
failure, an unconditional surrender.
It is Grover Cleveland at Yorktown
repeating the part of CORVALLIS. The
George Washington to receive his
sword is not so much President Dole,
of Hawaii, as the American people.
Public sentiment sin this country
stood aghast at the spectacle of the
president Of the Great Republic
secretly and teacherously conniving
to restore a throne.-Inter Ocean.

Dodge of DOlgeyille.

ST. TOWNSVILLE, N. Y, Feb. 10
Editor Chicago Inter Ocean:-I was
greatly surprised to read the following
extract in The Chicago Herald of
recent date:
"Dolge of Dclgeville, N. Y, runs a
one-horse felt factory, in which he
employs a few men, women and child
rem, at something less than the mar
ket rate of wages" and concludes
with the exclamation: "Down with
the Dolges and Dolgevilles."
1t is very evident that the writer of
the above is either an ignoramus,
and doesn't know what he is talking
about, or he does it with a malicious
intent, to further his free trade, an
archistic, and un-American ideas.
We are personally acquainted with
Alfred Dodge, of Dolgsville, N. Y, and
have occasion to visit that village
frequently on business. He is held in
the highest esteem by all of his en-
ployes, whom he pays good wages,
as the many pleasant homes owned by
his workmen, which dot the village,
indicate. He is ever looking after the
the welfare of his wage earners, not
only in giving good wages, but in con-
nection Herewith gives a share in the
profits of the yearly earnings and
after five years of service he pays the
premium on life insurance policy
for them, or if misfortune befall them
or they become infirm with age he re-
tires them on pension during life.
Mr.. Dodge has never had an upris-
ing or strike in his mill, but has
always been on harmonious terms
with his workmen.
Instead of that cold rebel war cry"
echoed by The Herald reminding one
of 1860), "Down with the Dolges and
Dolgevilles, it would have been more
within reason and common sense to
heve shouted: Cup with the Doiges
and Dolgevilles and let us have more
Of them"
About twenty years ago Mr.. Dodge
located at Dolgeville 1t was then a
hamlet Of about 100 inhabitants.
Now it has nearly 5000, and had it
not been for the Cleveland-free, trade
prosperity-crushing times it would
now have numbered over 1000 IN
habitants.
The felt mills consist of two large,
three-story buildings, 6Ox3OOfeet; the
piano supply building is four stories,
6Ox3OO feet. The satisfactory build
ing is three-stories, 4Ox2OO feet, and
it employs about 700 hands.
Looks like one-horse concern,
does 1t not?
The scribe of The Herald should be
in better business than talking
through his hat and endeavoring to
make intelligent Americans believe
his silly twaddle. His whole aim
seems to be"Down with the American
laborer, the bone and sinew of this
grand Republic, and pauperize and
degrade them" Shame on you, you
migrate.
Such churls as this writer are unfit
for any American community, and
the sooner they are banished with
their free trade, un-American ideas
the better it will be for the entire
country. IL. l.. SUTHERLAND.

The Roster Testimony.

Gov. Peck tells his part in the
steal in a most innocent and confd-
ing fashion. The simplicity with
which the governor dealt with his
friends in the matter of endorsing
notes and his dense ignorance regard
ing financial matters render him
wholly unfit for the Office he holds.
II it is pure innocence. no wonder he
fell a prey to the sharpers around
him, but in justice to the people he
should resign his office.-Rocine Jour
nal.

Gated Gov. Peck, Gov. Peck's testi-
mony indicated Col. Clark, Col.
Clark's testimony ought to be in the
direction of vindication of his friend
Gen. Doe. and as Atty Gen. O'Con-
nor has all along told his friends that
he will be able to vindicate himself,
it would seem AS if the Bows and Mr..
Tracy can do no better than to give
a receipt in full for their $15 900,
plead guilty to whatever has been
charged and throw themselves upon
the mercy of the court.-Madison
Journal
He [Gov. Peck virtually admitted
that his reason for keeping theroster
contract a secret was that he knew
he had made mistake and wanted
to correct it before launching the
whole matter before the public. The
tenor of his whole examination leads
to but one conclusion, and that is
that he depended upon the represent
ations of those about him who were
pecuniarily interested in the contract,
with thegratifying self-assurance that
such representations of validity and
legality exactly conceded with his
desire to assist The Madison Times
and his private secretary in a tinan
cial way out of the state treasury

Another Change Wanted,

Governor Mckinley spoke at the
Lincoln anniversary at Columbus,
Ohio, and denounced the tariff tink-
ering Of the present congress in fitting
terms.
Regarding the change that the peo-
pie want and will have Governor
Mckinley said:
The people want change and they
want it bad. They want it sooner
than they ever dreamed they would
want it, and they never wanted to
vote so bad in all their history as
they do to-day. They are tired Of
their contract before the period of it's
legal termination. They are tired of
this tariff-tinkering, bond-issuing,
debt-increasing, treasurydepleting,
business-paralyzing, wage-reducing,
queen-restoring administration.
The country will not, however, have
long to wait-too long, [ fear, for
many interests-untll it can COM
mence the work of ousting. InNovem-
Der next the people will have chance
to deal with the house of representa-
tives; and remembering what the peo-
pie have done in their majesty. be-
ginning last November in Iowa, Mas
sachusetts, New York, New Jersey,
Kansas, Illinois and in Chicago in
December, and in New York city in
January, we cannot be mistaken as
to what they will do next November.
The Dem ocratic house will be changed
into Republican house. Free-trade
domination will give way to protec-
ton majority. British policy will be
dethroned and genuine American-ism
enthroned; and the final work will be
completed in November, '96, in the
restoration of the Republican party,
which, through piGue and passion
and prejudice, was hurled from power
in 1892.
The true American. sentiment can
| not be trampled upon with impunity,
and when so trampled upon the ma
tional spirit swiftly asserts its mas
terry. The people of the United States
have not lost their love for their own
| country; and having for thirty years
enioyed the benefits and blessings re-
sulting from a genuine American
policy, and having had less than q
years experience with the other and
the un-American policy practiced by
! the present administration, they will
as speedily as constitutional oppor-
tunity offers displace the one and
| reinstate the other.

less than five minutes. II an order

Mary takes down the cotfee.pot,
charges IL with the fragrant berry
and the due amount or water, and
stands 1t upon the slate bureau top.
Sne then unhookS one OF the cords
and screws the glass plug into its re-

The process OF stew.ng, however,
requires different conditions. Here
1t is necessary 10 regulate the amount
OF heat so that the stew may be kept
at the right temperature. The regu-
lation is effected by wiring the cir
cults in special manner, so that the
various necessary temperatures can

Perfection in the system was not
obtained without much thought and
considerable experiment. Resistance
wires-that Is, wires which are not
good conductors, and which offer re-

process-were first wrapped in asbes-
tos. This was too crude, and the
wires were then imbcdded in enaTel.
Here the fun began. Enamel after

as the current was turned onto the
wires, crack would go the enamel,

with drawers and doors and with a

with the heating or cooking. It
merely serves as a table on which to
