TIsE PEACE TO WRECE GREAT
REPUTATION.

There is moro truth than poetry in the
saying. that ''the Cabinet has been
mainly q place to wreck great rcputa-
while it is not meant to ascrbe any very
great reputation to him before his adj
vent as q member OF the late political
household Of Mr.. Cleveland. yet what
ever distinction Mr.. Richard Olney
possessed In that regard prior to enter
ing the Cabinet as Secretary Of State,
has been wrecked.
No man can study Mr.. Olney's course
In the Cuban matter and not understand
that this is SO. There was q time, per-
haps. during the Venezuelan boundary
him able and patriotic and was willing to
accord him full measure of praise, but
as time went on his attitude in the
Cuban matter caused n revcrsion Of feel
ing towards him. and thousands were
not SLOW in declaring that they had
mistaken in him what they thought was
patriotism for something else.
There is no denying that Mr.. Olney
Is an able man, as there is none that
he Is crafty. Had he contended himself
with the exercise OF his ability for the
public good, and that alone, there would
not now be any cause for complaint. AS
it Is. however, he goes ont of Office and
there are no regrets. His miserable
treatment Of Consul General Lee, and
his seemingly utter Indifference to the
appeals made in behalf Of imprisoned
Americans In Cuban dungeons, is sufli-
cient TO blast the reputation he
possessed and the hope is that we shall
not hear Of him more. When General
Lee appealed to him for support he
turned a deaf ear, and they say that 1t
was not infrequent that the smothercd
cableSrams from the Consul which the
President should have had. Such con-
duct Is not calculated to add to the re-
putatiOn OF any man.

CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.

The recent bitter attack Of Congress
man Grosvenor, and other Republicans,
both IN and out Of Congress, against
the merit system, or what Is more com
monty known as the civil service, leads
to the belief that All attempt to abridsc
the rules Of that service will soon engage
the attention Of the next Congress, even
though President Mckinley, in his in
augural address, declared his adherence
to the system. There is q decp-seatcd
hostility to the service, which will find
expression in some form or other and 1t
viii be interesting to watch the fight
when 1t come on, as como 1t will, and
that too, at All early day.
TO give some idea OF how the matter
Is looked'upon by Republican represen-
tatives in Congress. 1t is only necessary
to refer 10 an instance where newly
elected member OF the House visited one
OF the departments last week to ascer-
tain what kind OF places were open that
he might find employment for friend
or two, and upon being Informed that
owing to the civil service rules there
were only about twenty positions left, he
replied, What? This won't do. Wen
have this business changed" This Is
the feeling Of 90 per cent. of the Rcpuh-
leans in Congress.
The fact is, although the sentiment OF
the country is strongly in favor OF a
strict adherence to the civil service sys-
tenn now in vogue, and that Mr.. McIIin-
ley has declared in its favor. the public
| may not be surprised to see strong
fight wagcd against it and a change ef-
fected if Republican votes in Congress
can bring it about.

AN INFAMOUS NrLL.

g The action OF the North Carolina Leg
islaturcH in passing bill empowering
Governor Russell TO appoint one-half OF
the aldermen for the city Of Wilmington,
is q disgrace to that Commonwealth.
and q measure which recalls the
carpet bag regime in that State Of
former time. The measure is Justly
condemned by the Democratic party
everywhere. as it should be by all fair
minded people, for it is an attempt pure
and simple TO deprive the people Of
home rule, and should not be tolerated.
Here is what the Daily Messenger, of
Wilmington has to say about It: 'srhc
attempt on the freemen Of Wilmington
is one Of unneasured and undilutcd in
fanny and oppression. The idea Of any
man pretending to be a lover of liberty
and equality and then attempting to inn
pose an oppressive law upon his fellow
citizens is ridiculous. Such n fellow IS
too ignorant TO be allowed TO vote, much
less TO play the role Of legislator"

wExLER's UNExpECrEu RETURN

Captain General Wey1er returned sud
denly to Havana on Thursday last from
the province OF Santa Clara, and as; he
came unheralded and unexpected. there
is some curiosity TO know the cause
thereof. When the cannon at MORO
Garlic announced his entering to the
post, the telegraph says, the news
spread rapidly ana caused somewhat of
sensation among The Spaniards, who
could not imagine why the Captain Cen
eral should have hurried to reach Ha
Vana.
Ills reception was a tame affair. He
was met by the Marquis De Ahumada
There was no great crowd present and
the scene was vastly different from that

pacitication Of the province of Ioinar
Del Rio. Instead OF riding through the
crowds Of cheering admirers, he walked
from the water side to the palace whore
he soon retired to his apartments. with
out having received any popular vel
come.
No reason is given for General Wow
,er's unexpected return to Havana, but
the opinion prevails that the change in
the administration at Washington may
lave much if not all to do with his
return. and he has been led 10 believe
that President Mckinley will not sane

HAWAUANS LEAD.
Roster of the Honolulu Customs
Service

SSTNISc.
Deputy Collector of Customs, F. b.
McStocker, has recently compiled a list
of names of employees of the Customs
Department showing the age, national
ity and position of each employee, time
of service and armed organization to
which he is attached. The list is in
teresting from the fact that it shows
the nationality of the men employed.
OF the As in the service, &c are Hawai-
ian born, IA Americans, Germans, 1
Scotch, 1 Swede, 1 Portuguese, 1 Brit
ish and 1 Canadian. The term of SER
vice varies from one month to 26 years,
the latter being w Chamberlain, First
Statistical Clerk. The time of resi-
dence in Hawaii ranges from two years
to the age of the man who holds the
position.
The organization to which the office
holders belong are divided. Nine are
in the militia, 80 in the Citizen S
Guard, in the Sharpshooters' Com
pany, in Mounted Reserve and / I'M
attached. Only belonged to the militia
who now belong to other bodies and
of these retired in 1887 one in 1898.
2 in 1896 and in 1894.
In supplying this data, Mr.. McStock-
er said: Il was tempted to make up
the list after the publicity given to the
affair by the newspapers. If you will
notice the list carefully you will find
that a number of the men employed
are for the purpose of guarding the
shipping and it would be impossible TO
relieve them to attend to the duties OF
a military connection. 1 would enjoy

Yesterday, another party, conduct

with the object of propitiating the
deity and obtaining rain. The god is
said to have received them with a
