and hope they will work to that end as
we know any number of brethren who
are of the same opinion as ourselves.

to draw a much larger crowd.

Ohio is generally spoken of IS a re-

managed during long period to con-
troll the legislature often enough to
keep one Senator. Now, for the frat
time since 1859 there are two repHbii-
can Senators from the state, and that
Senators Foraker and Hanna will
creditably represent the state is as
certain that as they have taken rank
among the leaders of the Senate.

Has Hawaii Ratified h Treaty ?

1t 10 probable that by this time Hawaii
has formally given her adhesion to the
treaty of annexation. Her Senate was to
meet last Wednesday for the purpose
Of considering it, and since our own SEN
ate Foreign Committee, after examining
the same agreement, reported it favorably
without any change, we may well believe
that the Hawaiian Senate will not find
much that is Objectionable. Yet the mat
ter Is one for careful consideration, and It
is possible that the islanders may suggest
some improvements.
1t is entirely proper that Hawaii should
tax the first step in ratifying the treaty.
Annexation, while n great benefit to both
countries, means, of course, more proper.
tionally to her. Hence, after the first treaty
for the purpose failed in our Senate, Hawaii
did not hesitate to make known her con-
tinuing desire to enter the Union. She
has also, in her disturbing relations with
Japan, a special reason for desiring to
come under our shield at the earliest date
practicable.
Since, therefore, only last year the Ha-
waiian Legislature declared overwhelm-
ingly, and, II memory serves us, without a
dissenting voice, in of annexation. the
action of its Senate on the pending treaty
is practically assured, and very likely has
already been taken.

The Petitions of Patrick.

The Hon. PATRICK JEROME GLEASON, the
battle-axe candidate of himself and many
other vivacious citizens of Long Island
City for Mayor of New York, has an
nounccd, in his usual robust tones. that he
is going TO hold a gigantic Gleason meet
ing in the Cooper Union next Saturday
night. There and then n few OF the thou
sands who have signed petitions imploring
him to be Mayor are to be collected. Upon
the text of "No Tea, No Tiger" he will ad-
dress n few of his thousands, gathered there
to verify their signatures by their voices
and to huzza for the Mayor Of Long Island
City that Is, the Mayor of New York that
would be. Upon the subject Of GLEASON,
GLEASON will dwell long and with affection
and pride, and the battle axe will smite
more than once and not in vain.
Now, the Hon.. PATRICK JEROME GLEASON
has a perfect right to bring himself, his bat.
tie axe, his motto, and n few thousand of his
rctaincrs into the Cooper Union and the adj
jacent and circumjacent streets, including
the Bowery of glorious memory and politi-
cal fertility; but there Is such a thing as
comfy between candidates, and appeals to
him to respect it should not fall on deaf ears.
a 'bih lEoN VI thO hCi6hho Va
M~orningside and political virtue is al
ready in the field ms a petition candidate.
Indeed, there is not much to his candidacy
except petitions; padded, 1t may be, but
still his own, and secured at great expense.
Is 1t urbane for Mr.. GLEASON to come right
into the heart of the town, to a hall which
will soon be shaken in the winds of Goo
Goo eloquence, and exhibit his petitions in
direct opposition to those Of DR.. Low7 Mr..
GLEASON is himself a distinguished edu-
Gator and friend of education. On this
ground, if on no other, he should refrain
from setting up n rival petition stand.
Mr.. GLEASON should content himself
with a mighty mass meeting, full Of bands
and monographs and the living voice Of
Long Island City. He should be satisfied
with the enthusiasm which surrounds him,
and leave big petitions to the devotees Of
DR.. o and non-partisanship.

The Industrial Council of Kansas City is
composed OF some of the most careful and con.
scrvativc minds now engaged in the resolution
business. The moment when tho Industrial
Council hurls a resolution into the empyrean is
n fn;eful moment in the history Of man. Such a
moment came last Sunday. and here Is the reso-
luton which was hurled. together with a pre-
amble Of excellent explosive force:
"Wherens. The corporation courts have violated
the spirit and letter OF the Constitution in deharring
our fellow citizens from these rights. and the hire
ling Officers OF these corrupt. venal. and treasonablo
courts have murdered in cold blood many OF our fell
low citizens; therefore be II
"Resolrcd, That we, an asscmblage OF citizens and
members OF the Industrial Council OF Kansas City,
Mo, unanimously demand that the Constitution be
enforced and these factional Judges DO tried. con-
victed. and sentenced to be hanged for conspiring
with the corporation owners for tho reasonable over
throw OF our Government"
For a long time these thinkers have been
hanging CORPORATIONS. and now they put the
judges on the swing. The Central Labor Union
OF this town must look to its laurels. As a Sun
day parliament OF man. the Industrial Council of
Kansas Is getting far ahead OF the New York
conventicle OF philosophers.
