Cuckoo on a Field. of Hawaiian
Black.

There is trouble at the White House in
Washington, says the New York Press:
A dull, sickening, thud like blow has
been struck at American liberty, and
there is a large mud spot on the palla-
dunn of human freedom. The rights of
of the midnight marauder and the cheek
of conservation is pale with agitation.
There is a stain black as ink upon our
country's escutcheon and dark treason
occupies the chair where once freedom
sat. The stove in President CleVeland's
sentry box has been stolen. The tragic
event occurred few nights ago at the
midnight hour, when all Washington was
still but for occasional snOres, and the
White house was only sleeping cham
Der. 1t seems that there was delay in
changing the guard-some one blunder-
ed, some one hesitated, and for few IA
tai minutes the sentry box was left with
out an occupant When the tardy senti-
mel arrived the stove Was gone from the
sentry box, and there was neither trace
nor clue left behind.
Such a crime as this demands the most
thorough investigation. The very cita-
del of conservation has been invaded and
robbed. The sentry box is sacred, and no
unhallowed hands should dare even to
touch its shingles. The stove, too, was
Aol %, &c, 40,
ed the hands that held the gun that
watched the house that held the form of
President Grover Cleveland. They were
hardened hands indeed that could have
taken that stove from its nest and borne
it away, and only a hardened heart
prompted the deed. If this outrage is
allowed to go unpunished somebody
may be emboldened to make way with
the Presidents fountain pen, and then
no more messages can be written and
sent to Congress. The sentry box is Mr..
Clevelands city ofrefuge and must be
treated with all the honors of war.
1t is difficult to understand, however,
why there was no one on guard-not
even William Lonesome Wilson. Where
was Thurber, the consecrated, the omni-
present? Where was Don Dickinson, the
agile, the faithful? Where was Villas,
the impressive, the obedient? Some one
must lose his yellow jacket and his pea
cock feather The search for the culprit
should be thorough, and in the mean
time, if either Hill or German or Brice
is caught trying to sell stove bearing
the consecration trade mark, a cuckoo,
surrounded by halo, on field of Ha-
waiian black, he should be arrested at
once.
We suggest that the President offer a
reward of e1OO sterling for the capture
of the thief of the sentry box stoye, and
that the case be handed over to the Scot
land Yard detectives.

Lutte champion of the peoples rights
Charles T. Saxton. With Morton in the
Governors char, with Saxton presiding
over the upper branch of the Legislature
and a Republican majority in both
branches, thk people can rest assured
that their interests will be vigilantly and
faithfully guarded and that the mission
intrusted to the Republican party by an
overwhelming majority in November
last will be thoroughly fulflled.-New

ton is whether an act going into effect
December 1st can made applicable to
cases where the fine was imposed but
not paid before that day. The matter
was brought to the attention of State Au-
ditor Hale, who rules that, under the act
passed by the last Legislature, this right
to moiety does not attach in any case un-
less fine is actually paid in before Dec.
1st. If the fine is imposed before, but
not paid till after, the moiety should
not be paid.
BY making this ruling Mr.. Hale takes
a safe position as the auditor sworn to
keep watchfuI eye On the States mon
ey and throws the responsibility of con-
STRUNG the law on to the courts, since
some one of the officers directly interest
ed in the ruling will naturally bring a
test case.

Governor Morton's Inauguration

With the Inauguration of Levi P. Nor
ton as Governor of the State of New
York, the Republican party enters upon
a charge only less important than that
which the party expects to assume in
1897, when the repudiated Democracy
will surrender the National Administra-
tion to a Republican President. The
Empire State is now Republican State
and holds the van in the grand march to
future Republican victories. New York,
whose millions of inh abitants depend so
vitality for support on the protection of
American industry, is now in line with
the party whose platform is protection,
and whose principles are embodied in
the motto-"America before all the rest
of the world" The leading common
wealth of the Union has for chief magis-
trate that eminent Republican statesman
who SO worthily presided over the Amer
ican Senate in the Administration OF
President Harrison, and for Lieutenant
! Governor that gallant soldier and reso-

Our Democratic friends are having
trouble with the currency. The Tribune
reminds them that until the people dis
trusted the Democracy there was no
trouble with the laws as they stnnd. A
self-eVident truth that Cleveland ought
to read and remember. 1t is now stated
that Senator Hill and Grover l., have be-
come reconciled for the double purpose
of restoring the Democracy, and TO lead
the ''unterrifled" out of the wilderness.
The Moses is to be Hill and the grand
director, Grover of course. The reform
of the currency is the cry. Even with
the Democratic shadow upon it, the cur
rency problem is very simple one, and
could be disposed Of by patriotic and
intelligent Congress in week. Nothing
is needed but the withdrawn of the legal
tenders, which are now used to draw the
gold out OF the treasury as fast as the
government can borrow it. 1t has been
proposed to fund the legal tenders into a
low interest bond. This would not add
to the nations debt, as they are now in
cluded as part of that debt. But, "what's
the use of talking" Experience is a
dear school," etc., and the Administra.
ton is determined to learn in none other.

Why people will buy lands in the West
without looking at them seems an expli-
cable mystery, unless they are of that
class who when boys, had luck in trad
ing jackknives "unsight unseen" A
despatch from Bakersfield, Cal, to the
Chicago Times, states that lots are being
sold in the town of Concord to many
Eastern people, and the interest in the
subject is indicated by the large num-
bers of letters of inquiry received. 1t
states that this town of Concord is a
cactus waste, many miles from human
habitatlon, and so desolate that evsn
rabbits and coyotes avoid it. The town
is situated on a railroad, but it is destl-
tute of water, and can be irrigated only
by bringing water twenty-five or thirty
miles. The scheme is managed by CHI
cago sharpers who have no connection
with any individual or finn in California,
and do all their business on paper. And
yet purchases of this property occur
daily by people who transact the bust
ness wholly on the representations of
the spectators. 1t is only one of many
illustrations of the gullibility of human
nature in its passion to get rich quickly.

The Empire State will soon consider
the advantages of "blanket ballot"
such as is used in Vermont and most
other States. The bill provides for a
symbol, like our first Australian ballot,
of the party, SO that illiterate voters may
know which column to mark and so vote.
Whereupon the New York Press WAKES
witty as follows: "What symbol can the
Democratic party use that will represent
It's true coalition? 1t might use scene
in the Alps representing dying traveller
at the bottom of an avalanche, or a
glimpse of Sing Sing, as delicate trib-
ute to number of its former leaders.
If something smaller were needed, a
brass knuckle would be very appropri-
ate, or an English flag, an empty dinner
pail, a stuffed ballot box, OF a brace of
pistols. TO carry out the true spirit of
the law it will be necessary to have the
symbol appropriate, and this will be de-
cidedly embarrassing in the case of the
Democracy"

This Government sends six warships
to Chinese waters, where there is no Sc
rious menace to Americen interests, says
the Tribune, but refuses to. send one to
Hawaii, where the lives and property of
American citizens are threatened by
conspiracy and revolution. This con-

folly which Mr.. Cleveland committed
when he produced vacuum in the State
Department and called it craftsmanship.

"A special dispatch from Pennington
says that numerous replies to inquiries
sent out regarding tine prospects of next
seasons peach crop shows that go per
cent. of the buds are in healthy condi-
ton. The each.growers deny the state
ments made that the buds had been nip
ped and that next seasons crop would be
very slim. The extreme cold weather,
they say, will only have tendency to
preserve the buds from being frozen In
the March breakup.
Many of the truckmen report the black
berry crop ruined. The only way, how
ever, their statements can be verified Il
by judging from the Winter of two year
ago. At that time the thermometer regis
tered only zero and this Winter 1t was al
low as 8 degrees below zero. In tina
year only two bushels were raised on the
same grounds where previous seasons lie
were gathered. The cherry, strawberry
and raspberry crop promises to be good.

when the, marriage festivities are

alities Of everyday life on the march

American bride develop into as a rule?
In cases where the dowry is large and
the devotion not great, this question is

acre is little room for clashing, and, if
The circle Of friends be-, only wide and
lively enough, husband and wife will
hardly have time to grow sufficiently fa-
milfar for either loye-Inaking or quar-
reling. Surprising, however, that the
husband should be 80 unfortunate as to
have conceived any real affection for his
bride before marriage, and to have evolv-
ed any hope that she would develop into
the companion, friend and sy1npathizer,
who is the ideal wife and helpmate, he
is certainly doomed to disappointment,
He will find that there is no. domestic
side to his spouse's character. Neither
her education nor her life has been cal
culated to encourage in her the instincts
of the mother or the housewife. She
has no desire for children, less ,inclina-
ton has she to be troubled with them If
they come. She cannot be bored with
household details. She confines, herself
to issuing orders to well-drilled depend
ents, rates all nlisperformance in a loud
key, and checks the bills with the acute
ness Of a lawyers clerk. She has no
taste for home life. On the contrary,
she counts every evening wasted that she
spends at home, and would die Of enr,li
