When Grover Cleveland was elected
President the second time the first thing
he did was 10 withdraw from the Senate
the treaty for the annexation of Hawaii
and order the American flag there 10 be
hauled down. The Democratic party ap-
proved this action as brave and patri-
oiic. He prevented annexation as long
he could and the Democratic party
applauded every step he took.
Finally. in the second year Of McKin-
ley's administration annexation was com
pleted and the islands entered on new
career of prosperity. Now no Demo-
cratic speaker would dare to advocate
the surrender or evacuation Of Hawaii.
A few years hence it VIII be the same

area Of liberty and that advocates haul-

been legally and rightfuIly raised is not

self of something even worse than iusan-

any community than lunatics, for luna

anarchists. by their words and deeds. are

Hehin who succeeded Congressman
Thompson, had a fight with his Republi-
can opponent. Captain B W. Walker, on
Sunday. Smarting under this, he attack
ed Walker 6ercely in his speech. He de
scribed him as "a black and tan serpent
kissing at the feet of honest, upright
Democrats" He said it was the desire
OF the Republicans TO have Walker sent
to Congress so they could say: Here's
a friend of Booker Washington. and it
shows how he is looked upon down there
and how the people uphold him"
If Parker is elected President" he
said land Booker Washington goes to

Country Ha, Suffered Because Of 1t
when that Party Was in Power.
Whenever the Democratic party has
had n chance at power its course has
been like that Of the donkey in the fable
which died Of starvation while trying TO
decide which 10 eat first. its oats or its
hay
il was this way when Buchanan was
President. and could not make up his
mind whether or not 10 suppress by force
tie secession movement in the South,
aud so postponed having anything done
until Lincoln could become President.
This dilatory policy was largely respon-
sible for the enormous cost in money and
lives Of suppressing the rebellion.
When Cleveland was President the
country suffered quite as much from az
onizing uncertainty as TO what tie Demo
Gratis were really going to do, as from the
actual evils that they did do. On Meth
er the tariff nor on the money question
was there any unity Of opinion amongst
the Democrats, and never was it possi-
bic TO forecast just what would be done.
The Democrats took one year and five
months to work up and pass their vii
son bill after the Inauguration Of Pres
