The Hawaiian Gable.

Last Tuesday elections were held in IIa-
wall for delegate to Congress and members
of the first territorial legislature. Feeling
ran high during the campaign. three par
ties being in the field The natives held the
balance of power, being numerically larger
than the white parties They had organ
lied independent movement which prom
Used success for themselves and a serious
reaction for Hawaii Their candidate for
delegate q man of degraded character
and bad policies. Their platform was OPP
position to the governors appointees and
refusal of supplies to the territorial govern
ment. The canvass aroused keen interest
in the states where the affairs OF Hawaii
had been closely studied and where the
necessity for straightforward course Of
harmony between the whites and natives is
appreciated
The result of the Hawaiian election is as
Yet unknown here. although there is prac-
tically not a single point of doubt in the
minds of the people on the mainland to
the result of the balloting in the states.
This situation results from the lack of
Pacific cable. Had there been a wire to
Honolulu the anxiety over the success or
failure of the native party in Hawaii would
have been met by facts days ago. AL
though the chances are decidedly against
such a contingency, yet it is possible that
the elections Fuesday gave rise to trouble
between the conservative and the radical
elements. the latter under the leadership of
Bob" Wilcox, who has on previous occa-
sions proved his desperate nature.
But even with the elections peacefully
conducted and with the result placdly re-
corded in favor Of the natives-this result
being at last accounts from the islands
most likely-there Will be most anxious
winter ahead. for the native party's pro-
gram is calculated TO embarrass Governor
Dole and to check the progress of the
Islands in all lines. A conflict between the
governor and the legislature will give rise
to deadlock which may cause serious
emergencies, news Of which should be had
at Washington without delay. Thus again
and again the necessity for a cable is de-
monstrated. and Congress will have no ex-
cuse whatever this winter for refusing to
appropriate literally for the actual work
of construction.

Senator McMilIan's Reflection.

Complete returns from the election in
Michigan show that the next Legislature
Will contain 100 republican members out of
a total membership of 1872. All of these 100
members favor the reelection of Senator
James Mcmillan. and so his return to the
Senate for a third term is assured under
the most complimentary circumstances. The
legislature Will be virtually unanimous in
recommiS5Onin- him for >iX-ycar term.
This is unusual experience for a ma
tional legislator but In Senator McMillan's
case it is by means surprising. He has
served his state most faithfully and has at
the same time contributed to the dignity
and ability of the Senate. The local IN
terest in the reelection Of Senator McMil-
Ian is Obvious. Since his connection with
local legislation began he has devoted him
self assduously to the welfare of the capt.
tai and his sympathy with various broad
schemes of District betterment has been Of
practical value on many occasions. As
chairman of the Senate District committee
his influence in this field Is unmistakabe
and so well and satisfactorily has he
wrought in this capacity during the pas
decade that the District stands today, along
with the Michigan Legislature, a practical
unit in favor of extending his term of ser
vice.

reliable servitors will respond to the

the Chicago enterprise worthy of imitation
everywhere, whether the housekeepers en-

That is that domestics be rewarded for
continuity of service. By such means a
premium is put upon the establishment of
just such relations between employer and

Now that election is over and affairs
have settled down to normal basis, the
housekeepers of Chicago have proceeded
TO take a fall out of the perennial servant
problem. The first token of their enter
prise and courage was home science
reception" Thursday. a. which the mis-
tresses and the servants met on a tempo
rarily level social plane To discuss the prop
er methods OF reform and mutual better
ment. The prime object Of the movement
thus far is stated as the elevation of the
household employe It is conceived that
not until this individual IS brought TO a
higher level of intelligence and to a
keener sense of the responsibility and
or the dignity of all forms of labor will
there ever be satisfactory relationship
between employer and employee. 1t Is
somewhat difficult to understand how this
end Is TO be accomplished by the social
ningling of the two classes. Social equaN-
ty is impossible between the mistress and
the cook. 1t Is unnecessary in order to
permit the cook To earn her wages by rem

Organism and CIeveIandism.

The talk about reorganzing the demo-
cratic party has followed naturally the re-
suit of the election, and it will run its
course. 1t may not lead to anything for
the present, but later it will bear fruit
Not all of it may be accepted as absolutely
sincere. Some things said are obviously put
In extreme form Tor use as ''feelers" And
some of the replies as obviously have the
anne object in view. Both factions of the
party are in bad humor. and neither is
good judge at this time Of just what the
occasion calls for Maybe for the present
1t doesn't call for anything but discussion,
and maybe the very intemperance of some
of those participating will answer by and
by as a guide to action 1t is the period
of headache for the brethren, and not until
that passes will they be in trim for wise
procedure.
Everything will turn when the time comes
for action upon what reorganiza ton means
If it means nothing more than putting the
Bryanites out of leadership and the anti
Bryanites into their places it will fail. That
would simply perpetuate the factionalism
that now tears the party. If 1t means
particular man for the partys presidential
nomination in 1904 1t will fail. 1t will fail
utterly and disastrously if that man should
prove to be Grover Cleveland. There is
more than the suggestion of such a move
ment. Mr. Cleveland's admirers are as
much in love with him ever, and sin
cerely persuaded that he is the one man
capable of leading the party to victory.
In forty years as they proudly proclaim,
he is the only democrat who has occupied
the White House.
The mathematics are indisDutable but
they do not dispose of the fact that toward
no other man III the country are the Bryan
ties much embittered as toward Mr..
Cleveland. The Chicago platform was writ
ten specifically against him and his policies:
and he and they were still in the minds
of the great majority of those who reaf-
iirmed that platform at Kansas City.
Clevelandism and Organism, indeed, are
radically antagonstic: and as Organism
drove Clevelandism out of the party, Cleve-
landism, if re-admitted, would az certainly
drive Organism out And Organism still
| means something, and must still be reck-
| oned with even if it is not again to doml-
nate the party and name it's candidates.
1t may prove to be true that these four
years Of civil strife over national policies
will have the same effect on the two great
parties that the four years Of armed strife
had There were men who up to 1850
had never voted any other than the demo-
cratic ticket but who after that never
voted that ticket again. There were like
wise old wings who became and remained
democrats as the result of the civil war
And so shall likely now see many In

atoms, and In future acting with their for

Argument for Open Cars.
n the Minnea polls Times

Physicians In the east are trying to use
the demand for open cars all winter for
smokers as an argument for the more gen
eral use of them even in cold weather. In
Philadelphia fifty open cars are now in use
on different lines which will be retained all
winter for smokers. This custom has grown
up out of general demand from the pa
irons of different lines. There is no doubt
that, where climate permits, the closed cars
could be discarded for a much later period
than many now think, and 1t would be a
distinct benefit to people VINO are shut up in
close offices all day. if. properly dressed,
they would avail themselves more of the
few open cars We have left. Our own eli
mate would not permit this all winter nor
in all weathers. but with our beautiful
clear, dry days and nights. why not avail
ourselves more Of the fresh air instead of
shutting ourselves up In closed and heated
cars. especially in the hours of overcrowd-
ing of morning and evening?

Are Being Put on the Shelf.

Congressman John J. Lentz, present DEM

Ohio congressional district and the most
pltter-spoken critic OF President Mckinley.

Tompkins by the narrow majority of eight
votes. AS the district is ordinarily demo-
cratic by about $500 votes this election
shows that Lentzs violent assaults upon
the President were not Endorsed by his
party. Politicians of the class who resort
to personal abuse instead of argument and
opposition based on principle belong to a
past age in American politics, and are rap
idly being laid on the upper shelf
