Mr.. CLEvELAND's anxiety to prove to
Congress that he has not been guilty of
double dealing in relation to Hawaii is
the first creditable feeling he has shown
in the whole business, but whether he
has experienced a change of heart or is
afraid of being ~impeached is more
than we would undertake to say,
although the known circumstances
favor the latter. His anxiety to let the
country know that Congress is a coor-
dinate branch of the government comes
late and probably would not vet have
come except for his desire to escap
some of the responsibility for his mis-.
cradle failure as a setter up of disrepu-
table fallen dynasties. Congress is not
deceived; it takes his acts for just what
they are worth and if there is one drop
of American blood spilled he will be
held to a strict accountability.

THE members of the Republican Ma
tional Committee in attendance at the
meeting of the Executive Committee
held recently in Washington City are
all enthusiastic over the outlook for the
party and unanimous in the belief that
the country is anxious to return the Re-
publican party to power, and that it
will make a beginning by electing a
Republican House next November. In
the language of Tom johnson, the Ohio
Democratic free trader, in a speech
made in the House this week, ''What
would be the result of an election held
tomorrow? The November elections
have told us, we would be beaten out
of sight" Mr.. johnson for once was
right.

abolished if the Cleveland tariff bill
becomes a law as it now stands, was
the first Democrat to make a speech
against that bill in the House. His
speech might have exercised more in
fiuence if he had not declared that he
would support it if the schedules
against which he especially spoke were
amended so as to leave the industries
