A great deal of interest is manifest
in the report that Senator o. H. Plat
Of Connecticut will renew his efforts
to have the rules of the Senate changed
so as to limit debate in that body. For
years such rule has been proposed
but every definite movement in that
direction has been stihed. Free and
prolonged speech has been regarded as
one of the inherent rights of the Sen
ate and some of the old members were
nearly overcome when Mr.. Plat in
troduced a resolution last March look
ing toward a curtailment of this right.
Mr.. Platt's resolution provided that
after a question had been considered
for a reasonable length of time any
member of the Senate could demand
that the debate thereon should be
clsed. On such a demand there should
be no debate, and if it received a sec
ond the question should forthwith be
taken. If it should be decided to close
the debate then each senator should
have only thirty minutes in which to
make his final remarks on all matters
pertaining to the measure under con-
sideration-Concord Evening Monitor.

France mas secured a substantial
triumph in her recent dealings with
the Sultan; for the Sultan has not only
paid the debts which he declared he
would not pay, but he has conceded
the right of France to protest Latin
missions. Very little attention has been
given to the latter point in this coun-
try, only one journal, so far as We
have seen, having referred to it at
ALL but it is the real heart of the
whole situation and conflict. In admit
ting the French right to protect the
Chaldean Patriarchate which is not a
French mission, the Sultan has done
much to restore throughout the Orient
the French prestige, which sustained
such a severe blow after the Franco
Prussian war. France has not, and
probably will not, recover her old right
to protect all Roman Catholics in the
Sultans realm. The position of Ger
many in regard to German Roman
Catholics is too firm to be shaken, but
her right to protest Latin Roman
Catholics has not only been recovered,
but what is vital to France. it has
been recovered with the acquiescence
of the European powers, or the settle
ment could not have been made.-The

If the stories of Henry's behavior to-
ward Wilhelmina are true, we confess
to great resentment. In short dresses
she was a darling little girl, as q
young lady comely and sweet, and as a
queen we are sure that she is worthy
to be the wife of any man who ever
called himself king or consort. A man
who gets tipsy at table with such a
wife and hurts her feelings ought to be
banned and banished. If Prince Henry
fought a duel with the gallant Van
Tets, we regret that Van Tets got the
worst of it. Courtiers who succor
queens in distress ought to know how
to fence.-New York Evening Sun.

alton from moral views and in the

ARMSTRONG ON NEGROES.

The following interview with W. N.
Armstrong and an Advertiser man
were published this morning:
"The movement of the negro to.
wards these Islands," says Hon. W.
N. Armstrong, who was passenger,
"has interesting features. Some OF
the whites who employ negro labor,
or rent land to the negro, have a
foolish fear that all OF these people
will soon emigrate to Hawaii and
raise the price Of labor 10 thu S ,uth'
They tell the negroes that il they
reach Hawaii they WILD at once in
bondage again, and that there is no
assurance that they will ever reach
the Islands. Through large Sec

REGRET ANNEXATION.

1t must be amusing to the people
who favored annexation and now
wish that the old days were back
again, to read the following remarks
of Rev. e. S. Chapman, the temper
ance lecturer, who recently wanted
to reform Honolulu. In his interview
with the Oakland Enquirer he is re-
ported as saying:
1.-THE Legislature was in session dur
ing the latter portion of our visit, and
it was a great pleasure to look in up
on their deliberations. The most Of
the members of the House and Senate
are native Hawaiians, and the ser.
vices of an interpreter were in con-
slant demand to make known to the
native members the nature of the
proceedings and the addresses which
were being delivered in English.
There is considerable feeling be-
tween the natives and the foreign
population, which is frequently mani
fest in the measures which were in
troduced and the speeches which were
delivered.
mo, there seems to be no remnant
left of the purpose to re-establish
monarchy. When annexation came
that purpose seems to have complete
ly disappeared, but the native ele-
merft is in control, being largely in
the majority and having been entrust-
ed by Congress with the electorate.
But though there is no thought of
restoration of the monarchy, there re-
mains considerable amount OF. bitter
ness toward those who were instru1.
mental in it's overthrow, and the, for
eign element will have to wait for a
time before they secure the ascendan-
cy which will inevitably come.
1.-THE better class of Hawaiians are
anxious for good government, and
are constantly casting about for meth
DDS of advancing the interests of their
people.
1.-THE work which has been accom-
plished by the churches and: schools
is very remarkable, indeed. took
great pains to visit the schools and
the church services, and cannot ex-
press the delight with which I recog-
nized what had been accomplished
for this poor people,. l have never
seen manifestations of greater relig'
ious fervency and sincerity than was
displayed by these native Christians.
and the decorum and general appear
ance of the students at the public
schools and colleges exceeded any
thing l had ever witnessed.
"Oh yes, annexation was xjust the
thing for this people. Many of them
do not yet fully realize it, butyall are
submissive to it and are determined
to make the best Of it. The interests
of all classes unquestionably required
that these islands should become
portion of the United States. 1t will
be something of task for us to per.
form our full duty properly with ref.
erence to them. But trust We shall
prove equal to the emergency"
