Bellioose Towards the q. s.

LONDON, Sept. 20,-The Globe this
afternoon in an editorial on the
futility of arbitration, with power
which disregards alike the legal
prescriptions and ordinary courte-
sizes of civilized nations, says: "Lord
Salisbury has treated the United
States with kindness they do not
deserve, always wearing the silken
glove, until America has forgotten
the existence OF the iron hand be-
meath it,"
In conclusion the Globe remarks:
"The idea of our being afraid OF a
fourth-rate power like the United
States could only have occurred to
sufferers from a severe attack OF
swelled head. America has lost all
sense of proportion and has forgot
ten she plays only a minor role in
the affairs Of the world. We hope
our relations with America will here
after be- distinguished by frmer
tone, as the only way to avert trou-
BILE is to make her plainly under
stand that we are determined not to
he shouted out of our rights"

Hawaii and Washington.

Judging from present appear
ances, II appears not to be improb
able that England and France may
be invited by the United States to
relinquish whatever rights they pos
sess in Hawaii President McKin-
ley lately dsngled the annexation OF
the group before the American jim
goes, with view to diverting their
attention from the more dangerous
grabbing OF Cuba, and the idea
seems to be making quick way. As
sertion is even made that the scheme
has already reached the advanced
stage of a drafted treaty, shortly to
be placed before the Senate for rati-
fcstion. Whether that assembly
will render more obedience to the
President in this affair than in other
matters remains to be shown. But
the question, being essentially Of an
international character, cannot be
disposed Of by decree emanating
from one Power alone. England
and France stand in precisely the
same positions towards Hawaii as
the United States; more than half a
century ago. they jointly recognized
its Independence, and the reyolu-
tions which have lately taken place
produced no alteration Of interna-
tional status. Nor is it at all GER
tain that the natives desire to be
placed under the spaugled
banner; the American residents try
to make it believed that this is the
case, but travellers tell very differ
ent tale. Even, however, if these
easy-going people so decided, the
geographical position occupied by
their little State would have to be
seriously considered by nations hav-
ing either naval or commercial in
terests in the Pacific. In our own
case, Hawaii, if converted into a
strong naval station, would practic-
ally command our alternative route
from Vancouver to Australasia and
the Far East. England has there
fore every possible right to be con.
suited before the annexation scheme
is carried any farther. The nation
will count upon Lord Salisbury
making it clear that England will
not permit the independence of Ha-
waii to be abrogated without British
consent being previously obtained.
And that consent should not be
given unless guild pro quo be given
US for tearing up the present treaty.

NO FEMALE ANGELS.

These are times when the theories,
fancies and supposed truths OF the ages
are successfully being overthrown'
scattered and obliterated. PHILOSOPHERS
and religions. the deductions OF science
ard of experience, are being proven
worthless and cast aside as OF no more
account than so much folklore. Mrs.
John Richard Green but yesterday In
the Century, undertakes TO prove that
woman's mental and physical INFERIOR
-,ty is not attributable TO long centuries
of repression and therefore heredlty,
but that being born, Graded and preo
bv the same parents as her brofhers'
that woman's weakness is fundameni-
nj. inherent, of the marrow lncarnated
Or something like that. Now comes
Baptist preacher, in New Brunswick,
New Jersey, last Sunday night, deciar-
ing in his pulpit there are no female
angels 'sThey are all men and they
will be a mighty army" is the IAN
puage of the Scriptures. angels are
the messengers of the Almighty" said
ne. ''and the Bible no place speaks or,
or alludes to, female angels Well.
What next? Every representation OF
an angel ever essayed by sculptor
oainter or poet, every conception OF an
angel, has been represented as wo-
man with wings, a woman or Deausllui
form and bright face, long waving halr
and diaphanous wings, female OF dell
cate hands and feet. from cast anu mold
perfection. No woman angels, indeed.
The papers say that the congregation OIL
that minister opened their eyes, the wo-
men half of it, in startled Way. The
Reverend Needham, however, before he
got through eased the situation or by
declaring that the souls of the redeem
ed were a higher order of being than
angels. The sigh of qualification which
greeted this admission strained the
walls of the sanctuary. Still the artist
who attempts TO represent an angel as
a man with great muscles sticking out
on his legs and arms, male with long
struggling, coarse whiskers, and bun
ions on his toes, is going to fall down
on his job. The female angel is the only
one which will go with this sensuous
and degenerate age. The sylph-like
female form, gently recumbent in the
ambient air, long, floating hair, love-lit
ewes. and the rest of it, is the only kind
of angel that will take for the present,
the solemn declaration of the awful
Rev. Needham to the contrary notwith-
standing.

having practically decided to take care
of the Hawaiian Islands, the japanese
program is going TO run into trouble
in the event of insistence. That people
can hardly be ignorant of the real pur-
poses of the government OF the United
States. Whatever questions may be
submitted to Honolulu will eventually
have to be answered from Washington
If Washington says "arbitrate," it will
be arbitration or nothing for JAPAN
Had Cleveland not in his bull-headed
way gone to work to Overturn and dis
credit the real wise and timely steps of
President Harrison, the Hawaiian ques-
ton would have been long since set
tied and Japan would never have sus-
picioned that she was cutting any figure
or had any interest in those islands.
Cleyeland's notification acts now bid
fair to lead to trouble. Other nations
than Japan, who now conceive thar
they have a great interest in Hawaii
would not have given the matter a sec
ond thought had Cleveland carried out
the patriotic policy and purposes OF
BENJAMIN Harrison. As for Japan, that
people not having been flushed with
self-importance by their victory in Ala
mosa, would never have dreamed OF
questioning the policy of the United
States or of meddling with the affairs
of Hawaii.

KEEP OFF THE GRASS.

This sign seen everywhere in the pub
lie parks of cities is equivalent to
spreading a tempting feast before a
furnishing man and then forbidding
him to partake. The public owns and
pays for the keeping up of public parks.
The whole idea, that which inspires the
reserving of public parks, was the
health and happiness of the people. But
as conducted, there is nothing free or
public about them except the free air Of
heaven. The city of New York, after a
hundred years, has awakened to a real
ization of the outrage implied by the
sign of keep off the Grass" and an
order has been issued to take them
away. The result was a happy sur
prise to the people. Thousands welcom-
ed and took early advantage OF priv
iIege which after all is but a natural
and rightful one. 1t does the invalid
or the sick child no good, nor can any
possible benefit be derived from trudg-
ing YEARLY about winding paths and
roads, baking hot in the sun, only to
look at the fresh green grass out under
the trees away from reach. In London
the only signs read Keep Off the Edge
of the Grass" 1t is the lawn edge thai
is most easily injured, and warning
against such damage would seem to be
the only prohibition proper to insist

CLEvFLANp's PENSION ORDER

If President Cleveland was preju-
diced against one principle of the gov
eminent more than another, it was its
liberal pension policy. His antagonism
countable True. he was not in the
army himself, but he sent substitute,
who must have earned his gratitude
and sympathies. Yet, as president, he
lest no opportunity to belittle the sery-
ices of the soldier who, crippled and dis
abled, asked for the pension provided
by law. He vetoed special pension bills
in patches, little caring whether the act
was denounced or applauded. One OF
his last public acts was to abolish one
half OF the pension agencies of the
country, not on the score of economy,
apparently, but because the pensioner
would be delayed and put TO more trou-
bic in obtaining his money. Had Cleve-
land been in Lincoln's place the repub-
lie would have ceased to b a quarter
Of a century ago. The right of seces-
sion would have been recognized and ar
least four new governments would have
been antagonizing each other where
there is the one of unity and harmony
of today.
President McKinley's determination
TO revoke the order of Cleveland reduc-
ing the number of pension agencies
from eighteen to nine is in the public
interest, although loudly and bitterly
criticised by the worshippers Of the
Cleveland dynasty, by the admirers Of
the president who hated soldiers. The
proposed consolidation would have
served no useful purpose, but have
caused no end of inconvenience TO the
feeble and decrepit patriots. To start
with, the consolidation scheme would
post the government an immediate out
lay of 100000, as estimated by the de-
partment, and would have resulted N
no ultimate reduction in the expenses
or cost of the pension service. 1t would
have probably rendered the remaining
pension agencies more important, bene-
flied the locality, but upon the other
hand, just as greatly injured the other
localities. The order seems to have
been simply a last effort of hard Halter
to deliver last and telling kick Presi-
dent Mckinley, having been n soldier
himself, without prejudice against the
old soldier, bur upon the other hand low
ing and respecting him, revohes the I'M
called for order.
