'If the writer's of comic operas
ignore the Hawaiian incident" said
a successful comedian to a New
York Herald interviewer the other
evening, "they will simply cast
away the latest and juciest theme
that has offered itself in ten years.
"Look at the possibilities of the
case! a fat queen is driven from
her throne by the decent people of
her kingdom. The Stars and Stripes
are raised over the royal palace,
and the first act ends with chorus
of Uncle Sans marines in the fore
ground and the United States war
ships in the harbor of Honolulu in
the distance.
"Act 2 occurs in Washington.
Pretty Princess Kaiulani, the heir
ess apparent, appears at the White
House with her English guardian
imploring the President not to per-
NIT the revolutionists to swindle
her out of her crown. The Presi-
dent listens to her song and says
nothing, but after her departure he
sends for the Secretary of State.
Together they resolve that the de-
throned queen must be restored.
An envoy is dispatched to Homo
lulu to replace the queen on her
throne. The act closes with a re-
frain something like this:
We're going to restore Queen Lii.
We m do and Won hot xx,a
She's our dusky sister, and now we
must assist her,
And Uncle Sam will foot the bill.
"The third act is laid in Homo
lulu. The first scene shows United
States marines hauling down the
United States flag from the palace
and the representative of Uncle
Sam escorting the queen back to
her throne. Dramatic enough and
extravagant enough, isn't it? The
second scene shows semi-barbar-
Gus celebration of the restoration
of the monarchy-a native fete
with ballet dressed as hula dan
cers-the queen and her followers
in picturesque orgy. The third
and final scene shows another up
rising of the civilized people of the
islands against the licentious mon
archy. The queen appeals to the
American representative for pro-
lection and support, only to be
told that the United States Gov
eminent merely undertook to re-
place her on the throne, but not to
keep her there. The climax is
reached in the overthrow of the
monarchy and the rehoisting of
the American flag.
"Think of the humorous and
pictorial possibilities of the story
The harbor of Honolulu, the volup-
tuous sub-tropical scenery, the
American ships and their dressy
marines There is no end of the
fun involved in the situation. 1t
contains the material for one of the
best operate burlesques ever put
on the stage. "-Philadelphia Re-
cord

After many years of slumber--due, prob
ably to the vitiated air breathed by occu-
pants Of the hall Of the House Of Repre-
sentatives-the House Committee on Ven
tilation and Acoustics has awakened to the
fact that 1t il not an organization without
employment that 1t really has duty to
perform. This fact has been apparent to
many other people for several years. The
atmosphere in the House Is VIGOROUSLY
poisonous, and to that condition the chari-
tabiy-inciined critic can ascribe many Of
the otherwise inexcusable things done by
the House or by individual members Of that
body. Had there been an ample supply of
fresh air in the great chamber when an ef-
fort was being made to help the unem-
ployed Of the District by making imme-
diateay available an appropriation that
must come in July, there would probably
have been no objection to the humane pro-
ceeding proposed. Good legislation Is i'm
possible where the legislators are compelled
to fill their lungs with invisible but none
the less potent impurity. Let Chairman
Shell of the Committee on Ventilation and
Acoustics stir UP his associates to frequent
and investigatory session, and there will
surely be more Of common sense and less
of inexplicable vagary in some Of the pro-
ceedings Of the House.

In very many social and governmental
matters there are radical differences OF
opinion between Americans and English
men and there has been. save in one par
ticular but little of relationship in the
methods employed to make the respective
nations great. The one point Of resemblance
"a parallel for many years-was as to
state department. policy. Administrations
came and went, but the line was un-
broken by partisan interference until some
seven years ago. That departure from SEN
sible precedent was the first severance OF
The continuity Of administration in what
il probably the most important branch Of
this nations executive force. But that first
breach IS OF no present interest. What was
done by Secretary Bayard as to the fisher
les trouble Is a topic Of minor Importance;
the subject deserving present attention
and arousing international interest Is what
has been lone by President Cleveland and
Secretary Gresham as to Hawaii. The
policy Of the present administration has
been in this matter to reverse and discredit
every act of the administration which 1t
politically supplanted. That such an I'M
patriotic and partisan procedure should
be fruitful Of blunders and eliminate in
failure Is not surprising; 1t deserves no
better fate. Inferiority marks many Of
the features of Great Britain's govern
ment, but 1t cannot be denied that British
diplomacy is a success. Great Britain has
invariably secured all 1t ever went for in
a diplomatic way and while exception could
occasionally be taken to some OF the
methods employed the general result has
been civilizingly and commercially bene-
fetal to all the parties concerned. Had the
successive premiers Of Victoria's realm en-
deavored ts becloud the acts of predeces-
sors there would be no British empire such
as today challenges admiration. The United
States has TO schemes of conquest, Is not
afflicted with hunger for new territory, but
1t may. nevertheless. learn a valuable lesson
from the experience Of the mother-eountry.
There were thousands of English radicals
who. when Gladstone succeeded Beacons-
field. clanored for reversal of Beaconsfield's
foreign policy. but Gladstone refrained from
taking such course. and time has made

Mr.. Wheeler II. Peckham is a very con-

and is unquestionably a man of ability. His
nomination for the Office of Associate JUS
tice of the Supreme Court of the United
states however, Is not credtable to the
PRESIDENT, and ought not to have been
made. Its plain purpose is not so much to
put the right man in the right place as to
put an affront upon the Senators in Con-
gress from New York, toward whom Mr.
Peckham has long occupied the attitude of
bitter factional opponent in state politics.

RAN DOWN A MOUNTAIN.
The Cars Pile Up in Cut and severa,
Men Killed.

Asheville, N. c., Oct. "a south bound
freight train on the Asheville and Spar
tanburg road ran away down the grade on
saluda mountain at 5 O'Clock this
morning. The crew remained on
the flying train, which ran
to the bottom Of the grade, four miles.
and then left the track, the engine and
twelve cars piling up in a deep cut The
latest reports say that Engineer Broom
and colOFed train hand have not been
found. Firemen York was seen buried
under the wreckage and it is thought he is
dead. Conductor VIII Patton had a leg
and hip badly crushed.
The first train from the wreck came in
tonight bringing the body of Neal
Ewing, of Asheville, stone
cutter, who was stealing a
ride south Ii is now believed that three
of the crew were killed, although the
bodies OF Engineer Broom and Brake
man Allen have not yet been found.
Fireman YorS's body was found, but
the wrecking crew have not been able
to reach it yet.
Conductor Patton had leg crushed
and his skull slightly fractured His
leg was amputated, and there are chances
for his recovery.
John Miller, a colored brakeman,
jumped, and was only slightly hurt
Others of the crew stood to their posts
to the last.
Daniel Owens, a stockman, was in the
caboOse, but was unhurt. He had car
load of cattle in the train and everyone
was killed
Flagman Hunter escaped without
scratch though he was on top of a car
when the wreck occurred.
1t is reported tonight that two boys.
friends of Ewing, were beating a ride
with him and We're killed, but this can
not be verified.
The grade where the train ran away is
four miles long and averages 100 feet
to the mile. The runaway began half
a mile from the top.
