PARTY AUTHORITY.

In an article discussing the attitude
of Kentucky towards Secretary Car
Isle, the New York Times SAYS he
is as faithful a Democrat as he ever
was. On the currency question it says
that his stand is the one that Thomas
Jefferson and Andrew Jackson would
take IL they were living How the
Times can know this is hard to un-
derstand II is a hard task to speak
for the living; it is much harder task
to speak for the dead. It-then proceeds
to say that the stand taken by the
free silver men is novel; that there is
no party authority for it.
That is a very strange statement:
No party authority for the stand
taken by the silver men, There is but
one source of authority IN the Demo-
cratic party; that is the people. To
the delegates whom they elect to state
Or national conventions authority is
given to declare what the party holds
to be its principles and policy. There
is no disputing this. How, then, can
the stand of the silver men be novel?
1t can only be novel in that the ques-
ton of the gold standard or the double
standard, which connotes free coinage
for gold and silver, is new question
IN the party. 1t is no more novel than
the stand taken by the gold men.
The money question being he para
mount issue, the issue upon which the
ensuing campaign will be decided, the
party must take stand. What that
stand should be the Democratic ma
tional convention which meets in, Chi
cago on July will decide. There is
the party authority on this question,
and nowhere else. Its authority re-
garding all matters of party policy is
ample for all purposes If the silver
men control that convention, why will
they not have authority for their
stand? All they ask is that silver
shall be coined into money on the
same terms as it was prior to it's de-
monetization IN 1873, on the same
terms as it was in the days of Thomas
Jefferson and Andrew Jackson Is this
novel stand?

Under this head the New York Min
ing Journal of the 9Th instant has a
very good article on our mining in
dustry. 1t says that this state has
been passing through an experience
much like that of her sister state.
Colorado; so long as those interested
in her mines persisted in looking back
ward instead of forward, regretting
the passing Of old-time conditions. of
great silver bonanzas, the promotion
OF big English stock companies, good
prices for the silver and lead product,
and general extravaganza in mining
and metallurgical methods, so long did
depression, which reached its nadir in
1898, continue. But the mining men
Of Utah. ike those OF Colorado, soon
awoke to the realization that a new
order of things had set in, and methods
and aims must be adjusted to changed
conditions. Hence, there has been a
healthy reaction of late, and all have
been watching with admiration the
energy and recuperative powers of
the Utah mining industry.
That, although, as elsewhere in the
far west, gold was the main object OF
search at the outset, people later be-
gan to consider silver mining the main.
If not the almost exclusive, reliance of
Utah: and it is only within the last
few years that the gold possibilities of
the new state have begun to be re-
cognized. Thus in enc sense the silver
depression has been beneficial. by fore
ing attention toward other resources,
and particularly toward gold mining.

eater will wish for him a somewhat
more felicitous reception than he re-
blage in 1884, when he arose to place
Senator Sherman in nomination; and
the presumption IS fair that he will
receive it, for this time he will have
the good fortune to champion man
who may be said to have already been
nominated, and whose selection now
only awaits ratification. On the
former occasion. as will be remem-
bered, he made the unfortunate mis-
take, in the prelude to his remarks, of
incidentally mentioning the magical
name of the illustrious person who,
few hours later carried off the chief
honor of the assemblage. The fatal
slip was the signal for such a demon
stration as is seldom witnessed in a
political gathering in this country. For
full twenty minutes the great building
fairly trembled with the mad yells of
the Blaine shouters. Foraker made re-
peated but abortive efforts to check
the noisy vociferation and resume his
speech, but finally, discouraged and
disheartened. he withdrew to the rear
of the platform and threw himself Ian
guidly upon a sofa, realizing the utter
futility of attempting to proceed until
the phenomenal enthusiasm for the
Plumed Knight should measurably
wear itself out. This came at last,
through sheer exhaustion of lung pow
er, but the patriotic decorations of the
hall suffered almost complete destruc-
tion during the episode, and Foraker's
remarks after it commanded scarcely
more than respectful attention. This
time he will speak for the man who
arouses the enthusiasm.

the experience and practice that an
actress has after a long time.
From this it is certain that Belasco
believes in realism in the drama. 1t
is rather surprising that Mrs. Carter
was not told to join football team or
enter the prize ring This may have
been too mild. though. Belasco says
he taught her how to weep over a
murdered husband. When he was en-
gagged in pulling her around the room
by the head of the hair she must have
felt like weeping for a live husband
What really wonderful constitution
Mrs. Carter must have.
All this will be a. great encourage
ment to stage-struck young ladies. If
their hair is not of the thickest and
strongest they could doubtless have a
rope around the neck substituted. This
would be excellent practice for the
part OF Desdemona, the sensations en-
suing from death by strangulation be-
much like those from death by suffo-
cation. Did the great Sarah Siddons
or the great Sara Bernhard reach the
highest form of the histrionic art
through such a rough school as this ?
Or did they have the divine gift of
great acting from birth?
Either Belasco or Mrs Carter is en-
titled to sixty-f1ve thousand dollars in
damages. Most people will be of the
opinion that it is Mrs. Carter.

ANNEXATION OF HAWAII.

The New York Mail and Express
says that the Republican party should
not and will not ignore the voice of
Hawaii repeating the appeal of that
young republic for annexation to the
United States. 1t follows this up by
saying that the St. Louis convention
should declare clearly and unequivo-
cally for the annexation of Hawaii. 1t
is scarcely probable that 1t will do so.
The argument is not put forth that the
Hawaiian islands are geogra phically
part Of this country, though it is a
stock one with those who favor annex
alton.
The annexation of the Hawaiian is
lands by this country would be but the
annexation of whole lot Of trouble.
They are now a republic, chiefly in
name. Those who overturned the ma
tive government were so very anxious
to confer the blessings of freedom up
on all the people of the islands that
they resorted to the despotic method
of taking al; the trumps out of the
deck before they dealt the cards for
voting on the adoption of the consti-
tuition. OF course this was all in the
interest of freedom and not of them
selves.
A revolution very similar to this
Hawaiian one was attempted but a
very short time ago in the Transvaal.
The would-be revolutionists signally
failed in their attempt, and the whole
American people cfleered for that really
grand old Dutchman Paul Kruger. Yet
the attempt of Jameson and the Uit-
handlers was in every way as worthy Of
commentator and success as the do
ings of Dole and his followers. The
annexation Of the Transvaal by En-
gland would be as justifable as the
annexation of the Hawaiian islands by
this country.
Along with the spread of jingoism
in this country has grown the idea that
Americans can do no wrong. And that
is why the high handed proceedings of
Americans in small group of Pacific
islands have not met with the con-
demnation they should have.
But the question of annexation is
aside from all this This country has
no use for the islands. They would be
a dependency thousands of miles away
from American influences According
to the census of 1890 the population
was 1880. Of this number 81, 436 were
natives, 6,1S6 half castles, 15,3O1 Chi
nese, 1850 japanese. None of these
nationalities can become American cit
liens under our present naturalization
laws. Of the rest Of the population
the far greater part are Portuguese,
they being almost as two to one of the
Americans, English, Germans, Norwe-
gians and French.
This population would be a great adj
dition to our already too Heterogeneous
population, while its effect on
the body polite would be far
from elevating. How absurd to
demand more restrictive immigra-
ton laws and then to talk about
annIexing a, lot of islands whose popu-
lation is of the very kind congress has
thought unfit to become American cit
liens. Let the country first assimilate
its present foreign population instead
of making the problem more comnlex

PROVERBS Up TO DATE.


The worlds a cycle and the folks
Are nothing but the cycle spokes.
One man may seat a cyclist fair.
But ten men cannot keep her there.
She rises brightly with the dawn.
While yet the dew is on the lawn.
And ere it's dried from hill and plain
She rises many time again.
A novice and her wheel soon part,
And pride is humbled at the start
The upright rider winneth praise,
But who can mend the bumped ones
ways?
Behold the woman riding down,
Swift as the lightning through the town.
She scorcheth through the outer gate
And goeth far and stayeth late.
Her husband in the market place
The elders mocketh to his face.
Thou buttonless,'' they cry "all hail,
Go clasp thy raiment with nail"
He plucks his beard and saith a swear
But he doth not his garments tear.
For no one bides at home to darn
(Saye orally) his suit of yarn.

TALES OF TIE DAY.

The robust-looking old farmer had for
the first time travelled on train with
dining car. He had read about the high
prices for train meals. so when he sat
down at the table he ordered some bread
and butter and a cup of coffee. The
waiter looked at him and whistled softly.
After the robust farmer had concluded
his slim repast a ticket for 81 was handed
him.
Great Scott! Do you charge a dollar
for what little 1 eat?" he asked
Yes sab; one dollar is the price of the
meal, no mattah what you ordah"
What did you charge that man there?"
demanded the farmer, pointing to man
who was eating heartily.

SOME EDITORIAL COMMENTS.

1t is to be regretted that the president
is obliged to approve or disapprove all APP
preparation bills in their entirety. 1t often
happens that d very Objectionable item
is allowed TO stand because the president
does not feel justified in stopping the
work of a whole department by uisap-
proving the appropriation bill contain
ing it. If the president had the privilege
of approving some of the items in an
appropriation bill, while Withholding his
approval from others, there might be
less eagerness shown by members of both
houses to load down an appropriation
bill with wholly unnecessary expendi-
tures.-New York Herald
