New York newspaper SosSipS, having
picked out new man for Miss Anna Gould
to marry, are now amusing themselves and
gratifying the elevated taste of their read
ers by describing him. According to one
picture, Count Castellane Is five feet five,
of pink and white prettiness. He has hair
like yellow gold, blue eyes and very white
teeth He is as straight as an arrow, an
athlete and cotillon leader who captured
Newport last year. He dresses in the very
height of fashion, He rides well, swims like
fish, boxes and spars and flrts and drives
a mervetlle. He is not penniless foreigner,
and has entertained most lavishly in New
York and at Newport ever since his arrival
in this country last spring. On one occasion
he gave~a, flower fete at Newport which far
exceeded in lavish display anything given
during the season. His family is of the
noblest of France, his father being the
Marquis de Castellane and his mother a De
Juigre. The family estates the Cha
teaux de Rochecatte and Langeaic on the
River Loire, chateauz which famous in
French history" All this is very interest
ing, OF course, and is an excellent 'ad'' for
the Count whether he marries the lady in
question or not. No. oae is describing her as
pink and white and pretty, but with fifteen
million dollars SO in her pocket beauty
does not matter.

A FATAL SECOND TERM.

For his reputation as a President in
history as we'll as at the present Mr..
Cleveland's reelection was most un-
fortunate. He doubtless would have
come to the condition he is now in dur
ing his first term if a. Republican Sen
ate had not defeated the Mills bill and
utherwise restrained him and his party
Compared with his present succession of
b1unders, Mr.. Clevelands first term was
successful, but it was SO because he was
administering the government under
Republican policy which the mass of
business men knew that he could not
break down. But with his reelection all
of the conditions were changed. With
a Democratic Congress Mr.. Cleveland
could carry out some Of his free-trade
theories. His own bill, the Wilson meas
ure. was thrown out by the Senate be-
cause it would not furnish sufficient
revenue within 100000, O0O The much
lesser evil, the Senate BILL became the
law. and it's first fruit is an increased
deficiency. If the Cleveland tariff bill
had become a law there would have
been larger and a continuing de-
ficiency. The present law with it's sugar
duty, will presently so increase the reve-
nues as to overcome the deficiency. But
the President was firm for a measure
which would have continued it as long
as it was a law.
Before Congress reassembled it was
announced that the administration
would present a currency plan. In. his
message Mr.. Cleveland presented the
outline and advocated it. Subsequently
he did all in his power to insure it's pas
sage. With the advantage it gave to
State banks it was as bad "a measure
as could be conceived short of the issue
of unlimited irredeemable paper money.
The bill was defeated, and when it was
too late, he presented another measure
altogether different and so commendable
that he could not get his party to sup
port it. That defeated, he made con-
tract for a loan with banking syndi-
cate which puts all of the ''coin'' bonds
at a higher rate of interest than States
are paying on their securities. In other
words, he has practically raised the
rate of interest on public securities and
given an intimation that at some time
the United States may have a coin in
ferior to that in which the commercial
world discharges Its obligations
Through ignorance the President has
thus placed the credit Of the government
under suspicion.
These mistakes the President has made
when left to his own party and his own
responsibility. A more adroit man and
a leader might have influenced the DEM
ocratic Congress, but, being neither, he
pursued policy which has made him
less influential with his party in that
body than have been any of his prede-
cessors. while his own independent acts
make his inexperience and ignorance
the most conspicuous in financial mat
tiers of any man who has occupied the
position Mr.. Cleveland now holds.

Individual and municipal borrowers
throughout the country have been for
years past, and are now, giving notes
and bonds payable in gold coin of the
United States They are doing this be-
cause they believe the honor and credit
of the government are solennly pledged
to the integrity of our currency and the
maintaining of all forms of it at parity
with gold. To do this the government
must be prepared to pay and must pay
in gold all its obligations when they
are due and presented for payment:
otherwise these obligations will depre-
ciate in value and the individual and
municipal debtor will have to pay a
premium on the gold with which to
liouidate their notes and bonds. While
Congress stubbornly refuses to provide
the gold with which to pay these obli-
cations it should not be matter of
surprise that foreign capitalists decline
to take our bonds payable in COIN
except at an exorbitant rate of interest.
Instead of paying this exorbifant rate,
why not make popular loan. The peo-
ple will take the bonds at per cent

4 pRAMATIC MURDER TRIAL.

The tragic elements in the Hayward
murder case at Minneapolis might form
a theme for great dramatist. The in
cidents, If related by a fiction writer,
would be pronounced improbable or
overweight, but as developed in the
courts and reported from day to day in
the Unconditional and commonplace fash
ion proper to legal records, probably few
who follow the course of the trial real
ize the dramatic bearings of the affair.
There is one brother giving testimony
against another of a kind that, if sus-
tanned. must send him to the gallows.
He does it with visible reluctance and
distress. but with an appearance of
truthfulness. Assuming that he does
speak the truth and speaks it with re-
greet, his position is a narrowing one,
and before judging him each critic must
consider what he would do in like case.
Would he. being himself innocent. stand
by the guilty man through thick and
thin, conceal all knowledge of the deed
and let a mere tool or possibly guilt

would he tell what he knew and let JUS

WASHINGTON, Feb. ia bill to in
corporate the International Pacific Cable
Company for cable from California to the
Hawaiian Islands and thence to Japan and
other points in the Pacific and the mainlands,
Asia and Australia. introduced in the
House to-day by Representative Stone, of
Pennsylvania. The incorporators are Will

well, Edward B. Pond, John Irwin, Ray
Stone, A. G. Hawles, Herman Oefichs,
Charles Fl. Bishop, G. w. McNear, Lewis
B. Parrott. William Bunker, c. L. Taylor,
o. D. Baldwin, Henry F. Allen W. j.
Adams and John D. Spreckels. The bill
proposes to give the company the right to
hold requisite connections, land offices and
stations and to exercise such power as may
be granted by any other governments, with
the proviso that nothing in the act shall Ee
construed to commit the United States to
any financial liability or guarantee for
carrying out its contracts.
The capital stock is to amount to S. eco
in $1,000 shares of 500 each with the right
to increase to 100000 shares by vote of
two-thirds of the stock, and the stockhold-
ers are to organize when s1000.000 of stock
are subscribed for and 10 per cent. of the
subscription paid in Nine directors are to
constitute the board, to serve three years
and hold their meetings in the United
States The bill includes an authorization
for fve-per-cent. bonds to the amount of
o,000000, to constitute a first lien on the
property, and provides for an annual report
of the company's affairs to the Secretary of
the Treasury.
The cable project has been the work of
Admiral John c. Irwin who recently re-
tired from the service, and at whose re-
quest Mr.. Stone introduced the bill. Adj
miral Irwin has extensive interests in Ha-
wall and Japan. OF the other incorporators.
Mr.. Hartwell is a prominent lawyer of

Hugh Craig is prominent New Zealand
capitalist: John d. Spreckels is a son of
Claus Spreckels, and the others are prom
inent California business men. 1t is under
stood that the. incorporators VIII endeavor
to obtain subsidies from the governments
interested and will endeavor to secure the
patronage of the United States for their
company. Representative Stone says that
he is heartily in favor of the Senate pro-
vision for cable survey, and does not think
that the plan for Incorporation of this COM
pany need interfere with the governments
course is necessarily antagonstic to the
Senate plan.

Greshnm.s Opportunity.

NASHINGTON, FeD 1.-THE State De-
partment will proceed to take vigorous
measures in the case of J. Cranston, who
arrived at Vancouver, yesterday, on the
Warrimoo. an exile from Hawaii. A brief
statement of his case has been received
at the State Department from the United
States commercial agent at Vancouver, al
leging that Cranston is American citi-
zen; that he guiltless of any partici-
patton in the rebellion, and that he was
forcibly placed aboard the steamer and ex-
lied without any trial, and to his severe
pecuniary loss. 1t will be necessary, in
order to make out q case against the Ha-
Waiian government to substantiate Gran
ston's statement at every point According
to his own story, Minister Willis took his
deposition before he was elected from Ha-
wall, and the Minister is doubtless fully
Investigating the matter there. Should
Cranston's assertions be borne out by this
INQUIRY there can be little question that he
will have good claim for indemnity against
the Hawaiian government, and it win be the
duty of the State Department to insist upon
settlement.
Traitors May Not BE Hanged.
VANCOUVER. B. c., Feb. 11.-Among the
passengers by the Warrimoo was F. H.
Holmes private secretary of Hawaiian Min
lister of Finance Damon, who is en- route

Scored With the Jury.

Some gray-haired appropriations
sat in an uptown hotel talking over
their early experiences. The conversa-
ton was opened by the man from up the
State remarking:
Il see that old Dennis Keeny has just
died UP in my native town. He was one
of the last of the old-style lawyers who
relied for winning their cases not on
their knowledge Of law, but on their
acquaintance with human nature. He
was one of the best specimens of the
class, too. Stories of his retorts and
witty sayings are told all over his own
and the adjoining counties.
THE first time / ever heard him was
in the case Of a man who was on trial
for shooting into party that had come
to horn him, a form of country celebra-
ton that you have probably heard
about. Keeny appeared for the defend
ant. 1t was shown that the gun with
which the shooting Was done was load
ed with dried peas, instead of lead.
Finally, a very dirty-looking witness
was called, and testified that he had
been shot in the right leg. On cross
examination the fellow appeared rather
shifty, and finally Keeny asked him to
show the jury the exact spot where the
peas took effect. The fellow demurred,
saying that the shooting had been done
sixl>weeks before, and the wound had
healed. At last with great reluctance.
the witness drew up his right trousers
leg, exposing a limb we'll covered with
dirt. Pointing to a spot which, if pos
sible was blacker than the rest, the wit
ness said:
There: that's where they wc"t in
"Keeny turned to he jury, and in his
most impressive manner said:
Gentlemen, leave it to your ,,nowl-
edge of crops; if peas had been planted
il that soil six weeks ago they would
be in blossom now
1.-The witness retired in confusion, and
Keeny won his New York Sun.
