Reformers with Goosefesh.

1t is painful to notice that there Is a diff
ficulty among the saviors Of society. The
saviors of society are otherwise called the
Executive Committee of the Citizens
Union. and among them are such men as
the Hon. j. KENNEDY TOP, the Hon. JOHN
COLUMBUS CLARK, the Hon. JAMES b.
REYNOLDS, the Hon. JOHN b. PINE, and
the Hon. RICHARD WATSON GLIDER, the
sweetest cicada of reform. When such men
are in difficulty, it must be a very difficult
difficulty. 1t is: Shall they nominate or
indorse a full ticket That is their ques-
ton and their difficulty.
We revere these eminent friends of re-
form and their associates as much as any.
body else can, but we must reprove them
for faintness Of heart and lack of knowl-
edge of their wv strength. The election
laws of the State of New York are good to
the saviors of society. 1t takes only 2, 900
signatures to get n certificate of an indie
pendent county nomination. 1t takes only
1000 names to get a certificate OF an indie.
pendent district nomination.
Why, then, does doubt furrow the earnest
brows of the Hon. j. KENNEDY TOP ct al
Is 1t 30 much trouble to get 1000 or 1000
signatures in support of a great popular
movement

The so-called labor convention which is
to meet for conversational purposes in Chicago
to-day can be depended upon to produce largo
loads Of property fire and thunder, and there
will be general surprise II there is not q heavy
rainfall when the resolutions are read. In the
matter OF resolutions much will be expected OF
this meeting. and the preambles ought to fall
with q sound as OF q thirty-story building. 1t
has been said that tho fre.tipped resolvcrs who
are about to project themselves upon the world
from Chicago represent nobody but themselves
and are disowned by responsible labor societies.;
but this will not diminish their power OF detona-
ton. 1t does them good to explode and it will
not hurt any body else.

tractors expect to strike oil on Monday" II

arise, and the unfortunate Mr.. MILLS. as heat

He cannot but hope that the oil will fail to flow

A man with q thousand acres cannot help being

The Return to Palestine.

The official report of the Zionist Congress
recently held at Basic, in Switzerland, has
been published in pamphlet form by the
London Jeufsh Chronicle. AS there are
passages in it that cast more light upon the
Zionist movement than has previously been
obtainable we print an abridgment of the
document in another place.
1t is not surprising that the Jewish
people of this country, who number prob.
ably a million, stand aloof from Zionism,
even though they have kept a close watch
upon it ever since 1t was put into its pres.

Although the plan to send the great bat
tleship Oregon to Honolulu has been post
poned, the hurried despatch of the gunboat
Wheeling thither from San Francisco and
the almost simultaneous departure of the
Yorktown from the Asistic station for the
same point, show that the Administration
will not neglect Hawaii.
We have now in Hawaiian waters the
cruiser Philadelphia and the gunboat Ben
nington. The former is to come home for
docking, but she will be replaced forthwith
by the Baltimore, which is bigger and
faster and carries a more powerful battery.
It is expected that the crew OF the Phila-
delphia will be available for the Baltimore,
and the Wheeling has also taken out more
men for the Yorktown. The Philadelphia
will not start homeward until the York
town reaches Honolulu, SO that the latter
and her sister ship, the Bennington. with
the Wheeling, will be on guard until the
Baltimore gets there. This new step Of
sending out the Wheeling to aid them Is
really the most significant feature Of the
affair, since 1t betrays 80 plainly the care
with which the Administration Is watch
ing events In Honolulu, and its determine
ton not to be taken by surprise during the
short interval that now remains before the
annexation of the Stands.
The Wheeling, it is understood, had been
assigned to relieve the Concord at Sitka,
although one report had represented her as
likely, after an experimental trip to San
Diego, to continue southwark and join the
Alert in Guatemalan waters. Her start for
Honolulu in place Of performing either of
those tasks shows that every precaution
will be taken to keep up our strength in
Hawaiian waters.
II the Philadelphia does not hurry back,
we shall have there, for a time, that cruiser
and the three gunboats Bennington, York
town, and Wheeling. When she does sail
for Mare Island the Baltimore will be
hurried back to take her place, be-
cause the Naniwa Is armed with much
heavier rifles than any OF the three
gunboats. The Baltimore is bigger
than the Naniwa, and probably could take
care of her alone, both being unarmored
vessels. When the Yorktown resumes her
homeward voyage we shall still have left
at Honolulu the Baltimore. Bennington,
and Wheeling, at least until the last departs
for Alaska. Meanwhile, should the Naniwa,
which is understood to have gone home
for docking. reappear at Honolulu with a
powerful ~consort, the Oregon will be ready
to restore the balance in our favor.
1t is safe, in a word, to assume that, at
any cost, ours will be made and kept the
dominant naval force in Hawaiian waters.
The islands are to come under our flag, aud
we shall take no chances of a'plot or an ac-
cident to prevent this result.

From the London Standard.
DR.. Eduard Engel has written the following iette7
to one of the Berlin newspapers
" In q lecture I delivered some years ago to the Ber-
lin Society of stenographers, who use stolzo's
system. I suggested that those accurately acquaint-
ed with the oldest English shorthand systems OF
tho sixteenth century should try to ascertain
whether many OF the deficiencies OF the text
OF Shakespeare might net be explained by steno-
graphic mistakes. This idea was suggested TO mo
by the old and well.founded conjecture OF Shake
spearean scholars that the oldest copies of SHAKE
speare's plays-the bo-called quartos-were printed
from stenographic notes. taken in the theatre, and
that many of the unintelligibilities of the text arc
due TO this. Ny suggestion fell on fruitful soil, and
have now the pleasure OF making the excellent work

stenographic system used " as that OF Timothy Bright,
who was born in 1880. and that innumerable mis-
takes in the quartos. innumerable contradictions
between them and tho nrst authorized folio edt-
ton. can be at once and most simply explained by
the defects OF that stenosraphIc system and the in
dexterity OF the stenosraphers OF that time. Herr
Dewischeit has confirmed my conjecture almost be-
yond my own expectation He Is at present the only
person who possesses all the requisite qualifications
for this quite new kind Of text Investigation. and II Is

for the nrst time from arbitrary fautasticality 10 the
