THE PASSING HOUR.

In the death of Senator Justin H.
Morrill,, his country loses useful man
who came direct from the common
people.
The people in Honolulu who had the
pleasure of meeting General Miller are
confident that he will acquit himself
correctly at Iloilo.
That German warship Irene, in Phi
lippine waters, seems to have the habit
Of being right in view when the forces
of the United States are operating.
Julien ID. Hayne ought to be able TO
talk his way out of prison somehow.
Julien D. would made an able second
to Aguinaldo in dealing with the
Americans.
General Merritt is fine honeymoon

The decision of the Rev. VIM. NJ.

| News of a shortage of 900 tons
in the sugar crop of Germany, together
with the paper of DR.. III. w. Wiley
given this morning should draw smiles
of satisfaction on the faces of local
people strong in the plantation in
terest.
One American officer has put in a
good word for the Filipinos. Gen.
Whittier, who was here with Gen. Mer-
rift, says that the natives of the new
ly-acquired Islands only desire to be
let alone. The fact is, of course, that
they are too great dormant power
to secure immunity.
1t is reported from "The City" that
the confidence men and highbinders
who opposed the election of r. Porter
Ashe to the State Senate are still after
his scalp. The peculiar point is made
by the nasty people who wish to annoy
that Mr.. Ashe was not a resident Of
the district from which he was chosen
by the crushing majority of twenty
two votes.
When the House at Washington
passed that bill extending the Ameri-
can tariff system to these islands, Mr..
| Moody, of Massachusetts, moved an
| amendment requiring that the service
be governed by civil service rules. He
was informed that the act contemplated
this. It is believed that this section
of the act will meet with little or no
opposition in the Senate, where it will
be taken up after the holidays. Mr..
Dingley called up the bill in the House
and presumably on information, urged
immediate action "for the protection
of the revenues, which are threatened
by great importations into Hawaii for
future transhipment into the United
States The importers here, according
to their written testimony, plead not
guilty to Mr.. Dingley's Indictment.

GERMAN COMMENT.

speech Very calmly.
Berlin. April 2i.The afternoon papers
here contain few comments upon Captain
Coghlan's remarks and they generally
take CAIN view OF the after dinner
speech and consider the incident closed.
particularly in view OF the semi official
note published here announcing the strong
dlsapproval of the United states secretary
OF State with the captains conduct, coupled
with the dignified tone of the American
press on the subject which IS regarded as
being noteworthy and as testify!ng to the
improved German American relations.
The Vossiche zeltung Is an exception to
this rule, and pronounoes itself in favor
of demanding severe punishment for Cap
tain Coghlan.
The North German Gazette remarks:
I'VE shall not oyerrate the political sign-
fcance OF such indIscrctons upon the part
of a single foreign officer especially as
they appear to have been committed while
the speaker was in state OF cNhilaration.
