out of the parade on their counter

The New Minister to Hawaii

The nomination of Hon. Harold
Sewau as minister to Hawaii was
quickly confirmed by the Senate Thurs
day and it is said with good degree OF
plaus Utility that the need of a minister
at Honolulu at this time is appreciated.
The reports also indicate that the
friends Of Hawaiian annexation are
much pleased with the appointment
Mr.. Sewal is generally believed to IA
yor annexation and his course in
Samoa affords very coed evidence that
he may be relied upon in whatever ca
pacity he is to oppose any yielding of
American right wherever that right
exists.
Though but IS years of age Mr..
Sewall has had diplomatic experience
that will be very valuable to him. In
1886 he was appointed vice consul to
Liverpool and in 1887 consul general to
later that year was the attache of the
Berlin commission which adjusted the
to Samoa that he disagreed with the
do-ECthing, unAmerican policy of Sec
rotary Bayard.s Mr. Sewall was edu-
Gated in the Bath schools and at Har-
ward, graduating from that college in
1882 and from the Harvard law school
in 1885. He has Travelled quite extern
sively and will not baa stranger either to
the Hawaiian people or to the duties of
his new office. 1t was disgust at the
foreign policy of the Cleveland admin
isstration which ultimately resulted in
his leaving the Democratic party and
espousing Republican principles. Au-
gusta people will recall the ringing
speech he delivered in this city upon
the subject of the foreign policy in
Samoa and Hawaii. In the State CAM
paign last fan he did very effective
ability in the last Legislature and his
speech upon the question of a larger
appropriation fer the sea shore fish
cries commission was one Of the ablest
made during the session. Mr.. Sewall
had a very strong support for the posi-
ton of minister and President McKin-
| ley has made, we believe, an excellent
appointment. The Maine men hitherto
selected for that important post GER
tainly demonstrated the wisdom of the
choice and we look for Mr. Sewall to do
the same though the situation promises
to be one which will require wisdom
courage and firmness in marked degree.

The death of Representative Holman
of Indiana on Thursday removes one OF
the most widely known and conspicu-
Gus figures i'm Congress. Fifty-foui
wears of his life had in some way been
connected with public office. His con-
gressional career began in the Both
Congress and but four congresses since
that time have found him absent from
his seat. The reputation he got as the
Great Objector'' will not soon be for
gotten. 1t was not popular role nor
che requiring the highest statesman
ship and it gave him reputation such
that in sustaining it he was sometimes
led to oppose measures that he should
have supported. But he was man Of
integrity and high character and he I'M
doubtedly was the means of securing
some measures of economy that other
wise might not have been had. He
was a Union Democrat of the staunch-
est kind sustaining the war measures
of President Lincoln. He was a native
of Indiana and was in his 18th year.
