ACHI AND
HENRY CLAY
BOTH OF THEM WANTED TO BE
RIGHT BUT THE SENATOR. STOP
PED TO COUNT THE COST.

The Senate took action this morning
on one of the recommendations made
by Governor Dole in his message to
the legisla ture. This item was in re-
gard to the payment of the various
claims against the Territory arising
out of the alleged mistreatment OF
foreign subjects by the Republic OF
Hawaii in 1895.
Senator Achi offered the following
resolution on the subject:
Resolved, that the Governor is here
by requested to give an information to
this House of the amount of claims
filed against the Territory of Hawaii
by citizens of foreign countries based
upon their treatment by the Republic
of Hawaii under martial law in 1895"
Senator Achi thought that it woula
be an excellent thing to get rid of
these claims. He said that if they
were small and amounted to only a
few thousand dollars he thought the
best thing would be to appropriate
money and settle them. He would Vote
for such an appropriation.
Senator Baldwin said that a higher
motive than the fact that the claims
We're small should urge their payment.
Even if the claims were million dol
lars and were just, they should be paid.
Senator Achi was more practical
however and while he applied that Sio-
riOus and immortal sentiment of Henry
Clay who said that he would rather be
right than be president Achi applied "
in the reverse, for he said in effect thai
he would rather be right by paying a
few thousand than paying million.
In fact the senator seemed 20 think
that the Territory could be just as
right for the smaller sum as it could
for the large amount, and any how, it
would be cheaper, so he declared that
he would not vote for any million dol
lar appropriation. The resolution was
passed
The Senate transacted considerable
business this morning, there being no
acrimonious discussions to mar the
peace and pastoral repose that mark
the deliberations of that body
Senator Crabbe gave notice of inten-
ton to introduce a bill to permit the
discontinuance of the use of stamps on
transfer of corporation stock. Senator
Achi was quick to perceive the posi-
bility of the measure for he Immediate
ly gave notice of intention to introduce
bin authorizing the discontinuance of
the use of stamps on all documents of
real estate transactions.
Senator Achi also gave notice of in
tention to introduce the following
measure: A bill relating to the MEM
bers of the Board of Health and amend
ing the laws relating to the same:
Also an act giving the mortgagor his
heirs or representatives. the right to re-
deem the property within one year af-
ter the foreclosure.
Several other notices of intention to
introduce various measures of more or
less minor character were given. The
Senate adjourned until 10 o'clock to-
morrow morning.

A ridiculous piece of red tapery was
shown the other day by the New York
marble cutters union in the case Of
the marble slabs for the stairs in the
city hall. They came from Vermont,
and it was suspected that serb labor
had been employed. To purge them OF
this stain they were carted away by a

establishment, and hauled back just
as they were Then the work was al
lowed to go on, after an interruption
of 10 days.

The Cruelty of Ridicule.

New York World, Nov. F.
 There is stern lesson for the thought less in the suicide of Charlotte Thomas, Her father left her competence. One of her brothers lost all of his money. He borrowed hers and lost that also. Reared In comfort. this young girl was compelled to earn her own living.
 She became a stenographer. She was of a nervous, sensitive disposition, and when some of her fellow-employes criticized her clothing. the best that she could afford, she drank a fatal dose of poison.
 There is a Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in New York There are laws against physical brutality. There Is no remedy against the cruelty of ridi- cule.
 If a person tries suicide and fails he is arrested. If he succeeds no one is ar rested Those whose thoughtless gibes may have driven them to death go free. Only conscience can punish them.
 The person who taunted this poor girl did it thoughtlessly. But thoughtlessness is no excuse. Ridiculing the clothes that person wears or testing about his phy- sical peculiarities is an offense not lightly endured and not to be lightly committed,

rHEY COULDN'T DEcrpE.

The Portsmouth (Va.) Star, commenting on the stay-at-home voters at the late New York elections says:
 It was clearly understood that the issue in this election-the only issue-was com mon decency in the administration of municipal affairs. Yet 6000O citizens of New York presumably of the intelligent and well-to-do class. deliberately refused to go to the polls in the interest of good government. By their neglect of plain duty, Tammany has secured, for two years, the right to. prop open the lid Of yond a peradventure-thanks to the very respectable but very guilty stay-at-home voter
 j The Star should not forget the difficul- ties under which the voters labored. It may be correct as to the issue involved in the campaign, but how was voter to decide which party would insure decent city government? The partisans of each side claimed that they represented all the virtue and decency and that the other side was only an organized appetite for spells and all manner of villainy, If the people thought of the discreditable conditions existing when Tammany was in power they were compelled to admit that New York under Lows administration has not been a model of civic virtue and honesty, nor has it been exactly a para disc of goodness. While we agree with The Star that those 6OOOo non-voting citi- zens failed to do their duty we must bear in mind that here was a case where 1t was hard for a man who was only look ing for the best interests of the city to decide between the two tickets. If every man could have felt thoroughly satisfied as to which ticket he ought to support the matter would have been very much simplihed, but that is just where the diff flculty lay. :

St. Patrick's Great Speech.


 Visitors to Richmond, Va, will rememher that the road from the lower district known as Rockett's, to the city proper, runs between two of the hills on which Richmond ia buiIt on one is St. Johns Church. where in I775, Patrick Henry made his famous speech before the Virginia Convention. On the opposite hill the Roman Catholic community of Richmond has erected St. Patricks Church
 Some years after the close of the Civil War two visitors were riding in a vehicle, driven by an ante-bellum character of Richmond over this road from Rockett's, and when they had reached a point between the two church. crowned eminences the old negro who was also acting as guide. pulled up. With all the solemnity that the occasion seemed to call for and due pride in retrospection of the event, he announced Boss, this Is where St. Pat rick made his great speech"
 Indeed" said the occupants of the vehicle addressed "and what did he say?'
 He said. boss. Give me liberty or give me death.'"
 And what did they give him. uncle?"
 It seem t me they give him both, sir" This is the Richmond incident as it Is known in the South.

For Thanksgiving.

Recipes for the Thanksgiving dinner, which is now approaching, are in order, and the following may prove acceptable;
 First mince-meat for the pies: To make it. boil until tender large beef tongue that has lain in salt water over night. When cold remove all skin and unnecessary fat, then mince very fine. Separate two pounds of nice beef suet from the skin and strings which envelop it and chop to a fine powder; mince six pounds of nicely favored tart apples; chop four pounds of seedless raisins and rinse the same quantity of dried entrants through several waters. Mix all togeth- CT, and add the grated rind and juice Of four fresh lemons, four grated nutmegs, two teaspoons ground cloves, two table spoons ground cinnamon, few blades of mace, one and d half pounds white sugar, one pound citron cut into shreds. one pound of sweet almonds. blanched and pounded in a gill of rose water. Mix all these ingredients. and moisten with three pints of port wine or brandy.
 Second is a stuffing for turkey: Mix together thoroughly one quart of boiled mashed and sifted potato, two quarts of soft bread crumbs, one cup of butter nut meats, blanched and sliced very thin, a teaspoon of poultry seasoning, a tea spoon of thyme, pulverized, the beaten yolks of two eggs and half a cup of cream. Add salt and pepper to taste.
 Third for Cranberry Sauce: Add one cup of water to one quart of cranberries and cook until the fruit is quite soft; strain through jelly bag, add one pound of granulated sugar, boil fifteen minutes longer and set in a cold place until firm. This may be poured into fancy mold or into dainty individual molds. For the latter egg cups do very nicely. A shall low, square or oblong enameled pan Is also very nice for molding cranberry jelly, as 1t may then be easily cut into blocks and piled log cabin fashion on a glass plate. The rich ruby translucent squares form a beautiful color note on the ThanksRiyinR table

IT IS WORTH A STRUGGLE.

The Portland Oregonian IS sound Re- publican newspaper, but Its politics do not make it either blind or rabid. In recent editorial 1t discusses the possibili- ty of a change in the mastership of the national Senate. and after showing that in 1893 that body contained A Democrats and 3S Republicans, while now there are 57 Republicans to Ss Democrats. it adds:
 It is not a violent assumption to take 1t for granted that the return of Mary land to the Democratic column, with the consequent displacement of McComas Re- publican, by a German Democrat, just as German himself has replaced Yelling ton presages a slow but certain rehabili- tation of the Democratic Party in North ern seats in the Senate. whence it was practically driven by the silver craze. It Is of no significance how large the Re- publican majority is in a State like Ohio, which has not gone Democratic since | 1SS9 but with the return of sanity to the Democratic Party there is a fighting chance for Democratic Senators to suc- mia, Depew of New York, Kean of New Jersey, Kearns of Utah, and possibly other Republican Senators from Northern States.
 Of the seven Democratic Senators whose terms are about to expire, there is no hope or expectation of the defeat of any by Republicans. The only certain change in the Senate as the result of Tuesdays election Is the supercedure of McComas | by a German Democrat. But closer balance of the parties in the Senate Is cratici Party which inspires confidence | that it can be trusted In matters of finance and trade.
 This is all true and it shows the neces- sity of Democratic effort looking to con- trol of the Senate as we'll as to the cleo ton of a President. The Republicans have had control of all branches of the government long enough to feel secure in their title. but that is a feeling which 1t behooves Democrats to remove As The Oregonian says, when the Democratic Party shows by Its actions that the people can safely trust the affairs of government to it there will be a certainty of "a closer balance of parties in the Senate" But
 we go farther than our contemporary does and declare that the Democrats will
 again control the Senate when they
 show to the country and the people that they are to be trusted.
 The election of a sound Democratic
 President next year is important, but it
 Is not all that Is to be desired. With
 both branches of Congress against him
 his hands would be tied to some extent,
 and especially could a hostile Senate
 practically nullify all his official acts
 This is an added reason why Democrats all over the Union should work for control of their State Legislatures during the next
 few years. True 1t is impossible to
 change the complexion of the Senate at
 once, but if all the old Democratic States
 come back a Democratic President elect
 ed next year might have a friendly Sen
 ate during part of his administration.
 That is well worth working for, and it is within reach if Democrats improve their | opportunities.
