FREE SILVERITE PRINCIPLES.
A Declaration That Is mt Variance
with Honesty md Good
Government.

A "declaration of principles has been
drawn up for the democratic free silver
club which is being organized as a rival
to the Iroquois. AS was to be expected,
some Of these principles" are so word
ed as to conceal the real views of those
who are going to join the club.
For instance, it is stated in one place
that Eve oppose the single gold stand-
ard and favor the restoration OF BIZ
metallism." 1t would have been much
more honest to announce that 1--WE" do
not want bimetallism, with its concur
rent circulation of gold and silver dol
lars, but the single silver standard and
silver monometallism.
The declaration that 1--WE favor the
largest liberty to the individual" is de-
fective in that it does not signify the
particular kind Of individual liberty
longed for. The organizers of the club
want every man to be at liberty to bor-
row gold value money or buy property
on time on the basis of gold prices and
then repudate so per cent. OF his in
dcbtedncss with the assistance of a
retroactive free coinage sixteen to
one" law.
Another principle" is: eve favor
an economical administration Of gov
ernment." That is, 1--WE" would like to
cut down expenses by paying the old
soldier pensioners in Accent silver dol
ars instead Of 100-cent gold dollars. 1t
would be more economical" also, to
pay the bonds of the govcrnment-prin-
cipal and intercst-which it sold for
gold value money in money whose pur-
chasing power is GO per cent. less than
that of the money received for the
bonds.
IL will be seen that even when as sim
pie matter as drafting the principles
OF an eating and drinking organization
is involved the free silvertes cannot be
honest, and persist in using language to
hide their real thoughts and Plans

A Melancholy wit.

That laughter is by no means an in
fallible symptom of a merry heart is
proven by the story of Carlini, at one
time the drollest buffoon on the Italian
stage at Paris. A French physician, be-
ing consulted by one who was subject
to the most gloomy fits of melancholy,
advised his patient to frequent scenes
of gayety and particularly the Italian
theater. And" said he, IF Carlini
does not dispel your gloom, your case
must be desperate. indeed"
"Alas, SIR" said the patient, 81 am

His silver message rang:

Nor turn thought to sorrow;
Gull all the sweetness of to-day
There may be no tomorrow"
An hour found me dropping low.
And whispered In mine ear:
Your JOY lies in the long-ago;
To-day alone is drear.
Think how the sunny past was long.
Yet could not last for aye
or yesterdays a happy throng.
And but one sad to-day"
The morrow came. and was dead.

Nor pain nor grief befall;

Lord Bacon relates Of Queen Eliza
beth that she could not be persuaded
that a book containing reasonable
matter was really not written by the
person whose name it bore. She said
with great indignation that she would
have him racked to produce its author.
Bacon replied: "Nay, queen, he is doc

his story; and will undertake to judge
whether he is the author."-Detroit

THE TERRITORY OF HA w
Is the Name Decided Upon by the An
~nexatiOn COmmittee-The Islands to
Have a Territorial Legislature and
Restricted Local Self Government.

San Francisco, September 9.-The
steamer Coptic from Yokohama and
Hong Kong, via Honolulu, brings the
following advices to the Associated
Press from the latter place under date
of September 3rd.
1t will be "the territory of Hawaii"
That is the name which the annexation
committee has decided to recommend
to congress.
The form of government will be
modelled on that of existing territories.
There will be no further departures
from his than local conditions and Ia
tiOnal political considerations make
necessary. 1t is probable that in work.
ing out the details the form of gov
eminent will not approximate SO close
ly to that of state government as the
ordinary form of government does; but
the ultimate possibility of statehood
will not be barred.
Local self-government will be given
through the extension of the munich
palities. The stands will be divided
into municipal districts, having con-
troll, under restrictions and limita-
tons, of purely local affairs.
The question of a territorial legisla-
ture has been fully settled. There will
probably be one. but with limited pow
ers. All the attributes of sovereignty
will be exercised by the national gov
eminent of the United States. The
people of Hawaii will be called on to
consider themselves Americans, look
ing to the national government as a
source of national power. In local af-
fairs they will have the opportunity
of exercising the highest tribute Of
American citizenship, local s~elf-gOvern-
ment. The form of government the
| committee will recommend will be one
I calculated to do away with the asso-
Citations of national independence
which nave grown up in the last eighty
or ninety years and to create associa-
| tons and the feeling of union with the
| United States of America.
1t is pretty clear from what has
| been said by members of the commit
tee from time to time that in framing
a form of government for the islands
they have also been charged by the ad-
ministration with forming a model
which can be adapted to Porto Rico
and other new possessions the war had
brought the United States. The COM
mittee is trying to so shape it's work
so as to be able to conclude it's iabors
