AN EX-QuEEN's CLAIM.

Liliuokalani, ex-queen of Hawaii, has
reached San Francisco on her way to
the nations capital to confer with the
president relative to certain confiscated
real estate, valued at $6.OOO,OOO, which
her dusky highness claims is crown
land" or private property.
The experiences of this government
with Queen ILL.," as the press famiI-
iarly called her. have been varied and
amusing.
She lost her crown once upon time
and blamed the United States for it.
She could not have been deDosed, she
claimed, had it not been for the action
Of United States minister, backed by
United States marines. In order to OBJ
tain quiet. and to have a chance to
proceed with other government bust
ness in hand, the president reinstated
her; she was placed in what the law
yers call statu quo, and laymen call
the same old place; but her crown never
seemed TO fit her afterwards
She has pestered presidents and con-
gressmen at irregular intervals for sew
eral years. But now she has a big
claim against this government. She
wants back the property that belonged
to her people, to the government of
Hawaii at the time of the annexation,
property that was public in its nature
and uses, land that she held, not as an
individual. but as ruler: and con-
gress may have to give her a deed to
get rid Of her. Lii has had consider
able experience as a lobbyist.

ALMA AND HIS WEAPON.

''T'he Hon. Alma Eldredge talks right
out in the matter of the proposed con-
test against 3. II. Roberts in the house
Of Representatives at Washington. He
says he has a weapon that will be alb
solutely fatal to Roberts in case of a
contest etc, remarks the Republican
organ.
1t also prints am interview with Mr..
Eldredge, in which ne is reported to
have claimed that he held lin his
hands the weapon necessary to over
come Mr.. Roberts in a contest"
This is awful! When giants like the
Tribune become enraged the earth is
sure to tremble; seismic upheavals fol-
low as a matter of course. But the re-
suits are not always devastating; the
undulations are usually quite gentle;
the hoarse rumbling which attends
may spread alarm among the timid or
the superstitious. yet Charleston sur
vived : very serious earthquake.
The damage is not liable to be great
or lasting. A few houses may rock,
some window panes may rattle from
their places, women may gasp and
children scream, but those who under
stand the phenomena of the agitation
are simply laughing in their sleeves.
There is no real occasion for appre-
hension about the organs rumbling. 1t
may annoy, it may stop the clocks, it
may roll the car of progress back a
little ways, but such consequences
make a demand upon the fortitude and
patience of the people, and the worst
viii soon pass.
With Alma Eldredge it is different.
When the Colossus of Coalville gets
his teeth set and his feet together.
something is going to drop. In the
year 224 B. c. it was the original Colos-
sus that dropped. And history seems
about to repeat itself.
The attitude of Mr.. Eldredge is really
alarming. He is only just beginning
to get aroused, but precautions should
be taken in time. He has a weapon,
too, a fatal weapon; and he is ready to
use it the moment the Republican state
committee drops a handkerchief. He
does not enlighten wondering and
terror stricken public as to the charac-
ter of that instrument of death, nor
does he say that he has ever used it
before. But a fatal weapon in the
hands of a disappointed political Brob-
dignag makes the appointment of a
committee on public safety an imme-
date necessity. Just what such a com
mittee could do is not exactly clear at
this time, but, being forewarned the
people should be forearmed.
A merciful Providence seems to be
about the only resource in this emer-
gency and, TO judge from the contest
press bureau, there are grave reasons
Cor believing that only upon Provi-
dence can we implicitly rely, if Alma
cannot be restrained.

they shall be vigorous and resolute, or
otherwise in their opposition to free
silver, their antagonists will contend
with determination and energy to re-
vive and make it the issue of 1900, as
they made it that of 1896. They Will
show no apathy. no indifference regard

mercantile depression next year, or the
year after, may give them the vantage
of the ground. If free silver is really
dead, assaults upon it may be proved

ADJUSTMENTS.


The drain Secret Service" made on
the pockets of theatre goers, combined
with the minstrel show running at the
other house, had a paralyzing effect
on the attendance at the Theatre last
evening. But while the turnout was
small. the enjoyment was genuine and
those in attendance voted the enter
tainment in all ways deserving of a
full house. AS it will be repeated to-
night, it is to be hoped it will receive
it. The Brehany company includes
some very capable people. Miss Bre-
hany herself, the soprano, possessing a
beautiful voice, and her charming lit
tie neZZO, Miss Waters, is not far
behind her. Both were heartily encored
for their solos in the first part, and
Miss Brehaney made a specially deep
impression for her rendition of Il
Heard d Song" in which verse of
The Swanee River and Home, Sweet
Home" are introduced. Miss Waters
sang the familiar BEL Raggio" very
sweetly. The girl violinist, Miss Prin-
gle, is also decidedly clever, and Mr..
Sauvlet is brilliant pianist and a rare
accompanist. The baritone, Mr..
Dethelfs, has some good tones, though
neither he nor the tenor, Mr.. Wheatley,
can be called as acceptable as the Ia
dies. The second part, an act from

And since the war, Spanish diplomacy
and skill in the art of making peace
has occasioned all sorts of explanations
and delays. Spain has just been given
another extension of time
What Macaulay calls the majestic
art has been cultivated by Castilian
statesmen from time immemorial.
Queen Mary received description of
Spanish craft from one of her cour-
tiers. 1t fits the case today:

dome, reform and bryden theyr owne

AT the beginning of the negotiations
it was believed that our commissioners
would be able to hold their own, under
the circumstances, without the aid of
diplomatic strategy. Indeed. one ad-
ministration organ insisted that five
bulldogs who could be depended on to
hold instructions in their teeth" would
be able to cope with the "wyse" men
of Spain.
But skill in dialectics and ''mischiev-
Gus maners" seem to have ''razzle-
dazzled' our commissioners. The con-
cessions made to Spain, the offerings
of money. the extensions of time, make
one wonder where it is going to end.
1t is to be hoped that peace negotia-
tons will not conclude with an apology
for whipping Spain, and a cash indem-
nifty for the damage done her in the
war.

Colonel William Jennings Bryan, who
is still confined to his room in the De
Soto hotel, in Savannah, Ga, has just
received a magnificent and interesting
testimonial from the miners of the
Klondii-e, on the Yukon river.
The presents were encased in hand

as they are magnificent. That for
Colonel Bryan is a gold watch chain,
made of gold nuggets, just as they were
picked up in some of the running
streams of the Klondike, or uncovered
where running streams once flowed.
They are carefully fastened together in
chain form, and the charm is a large
nugget, nearly the size of a $40 gold
piece, with one side smoothed off for
the inscription, which is as follows:

A Great Preachers Courtsnip.
Pittsburg Dispatch.)

An extraordinary book, indeed, is
the autobiography of Charles H
Sturgeon, the noted Baptist preacher
of London. He is particularly illumi-
mated in this book by Mrs. Surgeons
contribution, in which she describes
quite fully their courtship and mar
riage. The preacher was barely q
years old when he began to court his
wife, and oddly it happened at the
opening of the Crystal palace of that
year-he had already given her a copy
of the Pilgrims Progress
The Westminster Gazette thus
selects from Mrs. Surgeons story:
AS we sat there talking and anus
ing ourselves as best we could while
waiting for the procession to pass by,
Mr.. Sturgeon handed me a book into
which he had been occasionally dip
ping, and, pointing to some particular
lines, said: What do you think of the
poets suggestion in those verses?' The
volume was Martin Tupper's Pro
verbal Philosophy then recently pub
lished. The pointing finger guided my
eyes to the chapter on Marriage of
which the opening sentences ran thus:
Seek a good wife of thy God, for she is
the best gift of His Providence;
Yet 80 rot in hold confidence that which
He has not promised.
If thou art to nave a wife of thy youth
she is now living on the earth;
Therefore think of her and pray for her
veal
g Do you pray for him who is to be
your husband?' said a soft, low voice
in my ear-so soft that no one else
heard the whisper. 1 do not remem-
Der that the question received any
vocal answer; but my fast-beating
| heart, which sent a tell-tale flush to
my cheeks, and my downcast eyes,
which feared to reveal the light which
at once dawned in them. may have
spoken a language which love under
stood"
And when the fornalities of opening
were over Mr.. Sturgeon asked Miss
| Thompson to walk around the palace
with him, and it was all settled. Is it
not charming to learn of union of
hearts revealed through Martin
| Farquhar Topper! Mrs. Sturgeon,
after more than forty years, still can
write thus about those days. still can
print without a qualm her husband s
pious love letters, and describe the
honeymoon and the tradesmen's bills
| There is a slight shock felt in the fact
that the honeymoon was spent in
Paris. Mr.. Spurgeon in Paris is al
most inconceivable.
