AN ABSURD STATEMENT.
No bangor of Trouble From the Japan

No Danger OF Trouble From the Japan-
Csc in Hawaii.
WASHINGTON, May l0.-The attention
of Minister Kuriuo of Japan was called t
a dispatch from San Francisco, published
yesterday, intimating that there is liza
bility of trouble from the Japanese in the
Hawaiian Islands. Kurino character
lied the statement as absurd and ridicu-
lous. The japanese in Hawaii, he says,
are an orderly and industrious people.
Most Of them are farmers, and none have
received a military training. They have
shown no disposition TO be turbulent or
TO do anything more than preserve the
status secured them by the treaty.

Olney for Heir Apparent.

The latest gossip from Washington,
which seems to be inspired" is to the
effect that Mr.. Cleveland realizing the
impossibilty of hoping for third term,
will transfer his influence to Secretary
Olney, who is to become the adminis-
tration candidate. An important part
of this programme is to be supplied by
possible complications in our foreign
affairs. Should opportunity arise, it is
announced that Mr.. Olney will blossom
out as jingo of the first water, in the
hope of withdrawing the attention Of
the country from the administrations
humiliating failures in domestic af-
fairs.
The rock upon which this hope is
builded is the Monroe doctrine, which
Mr.. Olney is to assert in an emphatic
fashion just as soon as the Venezuelan
episode shall reach an opportune turn.
1t is explained that the secretary of
state has already addressed to Lord
Salisbury note which, when its con-
tents shall have been made public, will
be found to embody a vigorous and
virile enunciatiOn Of American seati-
mert. The publication of the text Of
this communication may occur shortly
after the assemblage of the next con-
gress. If it shall not suffice to stir the
public pulse, it will be supplemented by
yet more vigorous deliverences, until
the whole country shall resound with
applause for Mr.. Olney's courage.
One obvious difficulty with such a
programme Is the likelihood that it will
not be accepted as wholly sincere. The
precedents Of the present Cleveland ad-
ministration are against it. At no point
has there been justification for an hon.
est confidence in the sincerity of its
Americanism. The public will be likely
to recall the gravamen of Lord Sack
ville's contention that jingoism in
American diplomacy is plant which
| blossoms shortly before election day
and goes into eclipse shortly after. Mr..
Olney may be the firm and fearless
patriot that this prospective role calls
for, but If so he has been singularly
slow in giving tangible evidence Of the
fact. His connection with the Cleve-
land administration would be O handi-
cap rather than help.
The popularity Of an honest and sys-
tematic enforcement of American senti-
ment in our foreign relations is not
open to question. But the country is
aware that 1t can expect such an en-
forcement only from Republican ad-
ministration. The sympathies of Re-
publicanism have never coincided with
the schemes of foreign monarchies nor
played into the hands Of dissolute for
eign sovereigns. The traditions Of the
party of Lincoln and Seward, Blaine,
Frelinghuysen and Harrison hold out
no encouragement to the foreign seix-
ure of American territory or to the
Impoverished Of an American colony
by the outrageous tyranny Of Euro
pean despoilers. Mr.. Olney will be

THE NEXT SENATE.

seven senators as result of the Republi-
can wave. and this year they lose four
more. In the last congress they had for
ty-rour senators, one more than a major
ity Of the senate as then constituted,
there being three vacancies. In the con-
gress to meet next month they will have
only thirty-eight senator's After March
senate will be reduced to thirty-three. In
1894 the Democrats lost two seats in North
Carolina and one each In New Jersey,
south Carolina, West Virginia, Delaware
and kansas; OF this loss the Republicans
took four. the Populists two and one seat
remains vacant. With the present con-

The Identification of Tompkins.

The editor of the esteemed Wilkes
Barre News-Dealer, about two weeks
ago, was afflicted with an acute Curl
osity to know who Chairman Tompkins
was. He appeared to believe that be-
cause MIR. Tompkins was not hard
ened veteran in the devious ways of
Wilkes-Barre politics, he would prove
unequal to the responsibilities of the
charmanship of the Luzerne county Re-
publican committee. This belief took
the form of various daily illusions to
the alleged verdancy of Mr.. Tompkins,
some purporting to be full of sympathy,
others tipped with satire or trimmed
with ridicule. At the period of which
we speak the morning organ of the Lu-
zerne unterrified was daily study in
riotous humor and effervescing self
conceit. 1t was the period of Editor
Boyd's hilarity, and he improved 1t to
the uttermost.
1t will be remembered by those of our
readers who are interested in Luzerne
politics that The Tribune, one day well
before the recent election, recommended
Colonel Boyd to recall to his mind the
familiar circumstances of the boy and
the bull, wherein. as the story goes, the
boy laughed trife too soon. This
reasonable precaution was, however,
wasted upon our distinguished Wilkes
Barre confrere, and the fusillade of his
oh 1ya~ Of
the day of balloting. During this period
Mr. Tompkins, as became the discreet
young man that he is, said never a
word. But like Bre'r Rabbit, he 'Iay
low" and those who were within his
confidence knew full well that when
his account with the Wilkes-Barre
News Dealer was balanced finally, the
item of laugh would not rest wholly on
the News Dealers side.
1t so happened since last Tuesday
that the mention of the name of Tomp-
kins within Brother Boyd's hearing has
a rasping and an enervating effect. No
longer does it elicit the festive shaft Of
humor or call forth the playful joke
Our esteemed contemporary present
attitude toward Chairman Tompkins is
one strongly suggestive of chagrin and
irritation. 1t is beginning to dawn on
the News-Dealer's mind that it gave
vent to its hlarity prematurely. Tomp-
kins has been heard from. His identity
has been revealed. And Colonel Boyd,
who erstwhile wanted to bet his world
ly wealth that Mclean would beat
Bennett for judge, now retires to his
sanctum sanctorum and in the quiet of
the night sits there and thinks.

Increased Responsibility.

Representative Dalzell has confided
to the Washington Star some charac-
teristically interesting views of the re-
cent elections, Mr.. Dalzell is not in the
habit Of dulling the public's senses with
words that have no meaning. In this
latest instance he has something to say.
and ne says 1t, to the point. He begins
by abruptly rejecting the theory that
last weeks Democratic defeats were
primarily a condemnation Of bosses ana
their methods. IT think" says he,
that 1t would puzzle q man vino should
assign that as a reason t. give the
name of the boss the people in New
York state rose up against. What
bosses were there in New Jersey? The
only color Of such a claim is that Mr..
German in Maryland headed the de-
feated party, but Maryland went large
ly Republican at the previous election,
when there was no question of bossism,
and to me the state seems simply to
have made another step In advance. I
have no doubt that :fr. Gornan's atti-
'ude as boss in Maryland had a good
deal to do with the electior there, but
j think the genral dissatisfaction OF the
people with the Democratic atl,uir..g-
tration had quite as much to 10 with 1t.
II this Demo.:dtic defca. was a con-
demnation of bosses, why is it we have
heard nothing about Republican
bosses? They don't seem to have en-
countered any such opposition"
THE American people," Mr.. Dalzell
added IN terse genraliza'. on which
embodfes keen political philosophy,
"have no faith in the ability Of the
Democratic party to administer the af-
fairs of the government. That party
has always been great in obstructive
and destructive tactics, but 1t seems
utterly devoid Of the power of admin
istration and construction" 1t might
be added with entire Justice that the
recent and rapid spread Of popular in
telligence in this country has greatly
Increased the responsibility Of the party
in power, whether It be the Democratic
or the Republican. The accountability
of the public servants to their en-
ployers, the people, Is today more real
and more direct than ever before. In
the last two elections this fact has op-
Grated to the swift disadvantage Of our
friends, the enemy; but Republicans
win soon have to face the same stern
test themselves, and they should mot
count too much on the permanency of
the popular distrust Of the opposition.

Within the past year, under what has
become known as the Pingree plan, the
poor people of Detroit have planted in
all some 500 acres of vacant land in
potatoes, the crop realized being es-
timated at 10000 bushels, worth s25,-
000 This sum will be sufficient, ac-
cording to Mayor Pingree's estimate,
to maintain during next winter almost
all the poor of Detroit. and it repre-
scnts the highest form of philanthropy,
the creation of an opportunity for self
help. The attempt to introduce the
Pingree plan in Scranton last year did
not appear to meet with very sudden
success, but it is good plan never

cally that has been it's destiny in larger

COMMENT OF THE PRESS.
Interest on State Funds,

Philadelphia Press: NO individual OF
private corporation would think of keep
ing several millions of dollars where II
was earning nothing. The banks would
pay interest on the state moneys held by
them just as readily as they pay on indi-
vidual deposits. The state ought to avail
as the city of Philadelphia did several
years ago after it had experienced q
pretty severe lesson on the subject. and
just as the city of Pittsburg has now con-
cluded to do. When interest Is paid TO the
state on its balances in the banks and
made matter of public record, just as the
receipts OF all other revenue is, there will
be an end of these partisan assertions. foi
with interest paid to the state no ground
would be left for even a suspicion that II
was going elsewhere"

An Unjust Complaint.

A good deal of nonsense Is finding
its way into print just now by reason
Of the success of Judge Smiths candi-
dacy for the Superior court bench.
Numerous journals throughout the
state. some Republican ones as well as
many Democratic ones, have begun to
intimate that his election was due to
unfair means, and that treachery to
his associates on the Democratic state
ticket was one of those means.
Without assuming in any sense to
speak for Judge Smith, and without
even admitting that his case stands
in any special need of defense, it occurs
to us that most of these structures are
essentially unjust. The cry of treach-
cry was inevitable from the circum-
stance that out of six candidates only
one could be chosen, leaving, in either
Of six chances, five men to feel sore at
the sixth mans success The fact that
Judge Smith received more votes than
Judge Yerkes or Judge Noyes is prima
facie proof that a larger number of
voters wanted him for judge of the
Superior court than those who wanted
his various colleagues; and by the con-
ditions Of the race this ought to settle
the matter, without whimpering.
We do not see any reason why when
six men start upon race which only one
Of the six men can win, any one of the
number should stop and wait for the
other fellows to overtake him. Looked
at in this light the complaint against
Judge Smith appears supremely ridic-
ulous. II any blame attaches to any
person or persons in this connection it
would seem to belong to the Demo-
cratic state convention for subjecting
six able jurists to the trouble of run
ming for an Office which it knew only
one of them could get.

saw that pretty girl all in gray, with checks tinged rosy by the generous blood, her red epaulets, slender gigot sleeves and white-fronted blouse bodice, flash past in the park. Her bonnet is a brilliant red Tam, turned up upon the left with clasp and a gray feather, her bloomers are not only wide, and neatly cut, and she wears wide white cuffs, detachable, washable. It is all nonsense to say that mems hearts will be steeled against such vi- sions if they became numerous. The question must be settled in otherwise.
 Paris, which Is foremost in the lSniclt- erbocker ranks; Paris, where great la- dies adopt the reform dress as they have neither in London nor New York, does not, therefore, forswear the dainty conceits which have earned it's fame as a capital of fashion. It is Paris which now accentuates the slope of the shoulder by bringing the seam well down over the point, and fre- quently by hanging the fullness of the sleeve nearly at the middle of the up- per arm. Perhaps the slope is still further accentuated by cape-like effect of f1uted chiffon above the full ness of the sleeve. A very new Paris gown thus quaintly devised is in glace silk in mauve, the bodice draped with
