Now Believed She IL In Washington
for Political Purpose.

says: Liliuokalani, the deposcd
Queen of Hawaii, who las been
suffering with the grippe for the
past few days, is now GONZALES
cent. She is feeling better than
for six days previous. To day, if
the weather permits and she is in
good spirits, the Capitol will be
visited. For the past ten days
her Majesty has been planning to
see the building where our laws
are made and to see the people
who make them, but for one rea-
son or another she has failed to
carry out her purpose.
The usual number of callers
came to see her yesterday. 1t is
surprising to see what an interest
the people OF the country have
in this woman. Not a day passes
that she does not receive at least
dozen invitations to attend So
cial functions, but she has not as
yet accepted any of them. AS the
days pass and no sign of her quit
ting the capital city appears the
belief grows that she is here for a
political purpose, but just what
it is no one seems to know. The
talk most INDUCED in last night
was that she is trying to secure
assistance from the present or in
coming administration to place
her on the Hawaiian throne.

the newest and most engaging game of
them all-the buttonhole party.
10 nave buttOnhole party you provide
a small square of cambria for each OF the
guests, also needle, thread and thimble.
Inc Instructions are to go to work and
make a buttonhole, the holes being pre-
Viously cut out, all of a size Just five
minutes are allowed for the hole and the
work must be completed at the end of
that time. A committee then judges the
holes and prizes are awarded. The first
prize at one of the Long Branch button
mole parties was a pair Of silver-handled
scissors. At an another a gold thimble
set around with tiny diamonds, at another
a very elegant little carved workhox. and
so on through the list of sewing things.
The men at the buttonhole party act as
judges and give the prizes. They also pay
Tor them, and are supposed to reap suf-
hclent information concerning the attain
ments and possibilities of the summer girl
to repay them.

the "Iiege lord of CASTLE" when he saw
how fond Of each other horse and master

that such a splendid steed and so fne

with Spain too, we have a horse which,
though fictitious, will probably outlast all
the material examples. This Is Rosinante,
the horse of the immortal Don Quixote.

King william III had a favorite horse

Evasion Impossible.

Despite the assurance by Spain of a
complete change of policy in Cuba, FL
Commercio, a Weyler organ in Ha-
vana, triumphantly declares that Gen.
Blanco is continuing Weyler's conster-
nation scheme and has issued fresh
orders to that effect.
1t seems to be the policy of the Nc
Kinley administration and its organs
to cast discredit on all reports of news
papers which insist upon giving the
people the information about the Gu
ban situation carefully withheld from
them by the President.
But the vivid descriptions of Cuban
horrors accompanied by photographs
and figures and the news of the Cuban
situation sent by the PoSt-Dispatch cor
respondent cannot be ignored by the
Administration. Vague answers will
not be accepted by the public, because
the public knows that the Administra-
ton can quickly verify the facts
through American Con5uls in Cuba,
who have, in fact, verified them.
Within a few days Gen. Lee can let
Mr.. Mckinley know the truth about
the Cuban situation and the conduct of
Gen. Blanco. The means of satisfying
himself are within the Presidents
hands.

wholesale destruction of helpless wo-

THE REGISTER never was nor never
will be believer in the civil service
farce and humbug. But TO show the
hypocrisy and sham OF the Mckinley
administration in pretending to up
hold the civil service law, the follow
ing is reproduced from a recent issue
of the Giobe-DemocrGt:
The appointment of c. D. Morris to-
day as postmaster at Trenton, Mo.
ends an interesting fight. He was the
candidate of G.. A. LOomis, of Chilli
cothe, late Republican candidate for
Congress. and was Endorsed by Ma
tional Committeeman Kerens and As
sistant Secretary of the Interior Davis.
His principal opponent was Judge W.
X. Rodgers. editor of the Trenton Re
publican. Morris is also a newspaper
man and edits the Trenton Tribune.
The present postmaster is Miss Rells
Harbor. Her term does not expire
until some time next year, aud her re-
moval marks one of the very few cases
in which the four-year tenure was dis
regarded. Miss Harbor is sister-in
law of James Written. the editor of
the Trenton Times. 1t is understood
that he has made himself specially OBJ
noxious to the Republicans of Trenton
by his editorial comments on the ad
ministration. which have been unreas-
ona5ly abusive. Miss Harbor is said
to be a stakeholder in the paper.
The postmistress at Trenton was so
unfortunate as to have brother-in-law
in the newspaper business. And that
brother-iu-law printed things that did
MT meet with the approval of the ad-
ministration, and Major Mckinley,
the high-minded. conscientious be-
lever % in civil service, dismissed
the Democratic postmistress. How
like the late lamented Pecksnif! For.
we take it. the statement that Miss Har-
Dor lis said TO be stakeholder in the
paper" is only sanctimonious lie put
forth to make the end justify the
means.
