THE AMERICAN LEAvEN.

It is clear that government by royal
odious to the British people by hiding
the scepter and the crown behind the
gracious and graceful bulwark of the
American girl. Lord Curzon, of Kedle-
ston, more particularly described as
the husband of she that was Mary
Letter, of Chicago, is to be lord warden
Of the Cirque Ports; to have for his
residence the ancient Walmer castle,
and to exercise all the rights that ap-
pertain to a high and mighty Office,
which pays nothing a year.
Lord Curzon and his lady are doing
a great work in the matter Of gov
erning the Britons and making them
like it. Inspired by the genius Of the
Letter family Lord Curzon did stunts in
India that made the native rajahs to
regard their elephants as selling pla-
ters. AS viceroy Lord Curzon gave the
tribesmen a touch of high life that they
will never forget. With Mary Letter by
his side he fairly made the vice-regal
elephants jump through hoops. He
drove the native shoWmen out of the
business and taught the natives that
royalty-even in the strained, proxy
state-was a thing to delight in. Now
he is to help bring the people of Dover
and the other Cirque Ports to a realiz-
ing sense Of the reality of the warden
ship.
Lord and Lady Curzon will succeed
to most distinguished line of war
dens. Henry VIII. was warden Of the
Cirque Ports. but history is silent as
to who was wardeness in his day.
James H., while he was yet the Duke
of York, held the Office. Under his
administration the good people of the
son of their industry in the pursuit of
the privileges conferred upon them by
the wardenship. They were entitled to
all fotsam and jetsam, and as wrecks
increased the volume of spoil they did
what they could to lure the mariner to
reduce his ship to f1otsam or jetsam.
The great Duke Of Wellington held the
office, as did the late Marquis of Sails
bury.
These are no light honors that have
fallen upon the shoulders of Lord Cur
zon and his spouse 1t is their bounden
duty to uphold the ancient dignities
and rights of the wardenship and to
put the citizens of the Cirque Ports
through their PAGES at times. They
will do all that is expected of them, and
more too. and they have fairly earned
their honors.
The only regrettable feature of the
rise of Mary Letter is that which first
put her in training in English politics.
If she had married Chicago man
Joe Letter would this minute be dis
pensing hospitality in the White house.

When the Democrats Meet.

Nobody, however, who will exercise
any weight in the national convention
is dreaming 5of Mr.. Cleveland. If we
were his enemy, we should desire his
nomination, because he would be dis
astrously beaten. AT present he is be-
ing adroitly used as a foil against the
Hearst nonsense. His managers hope
to scare the party into nominating him
as an alternative. But it will not work.
There will be in the coming national
Democratic convention a great many
sensible and representative Democrats,
fully able to distinguish 'twixt hawk
and buzzard, and determined to do
their duty.-Louisvi1le Courier-J Journal

OUR FIRST FAILURE.

As the annexation of Hawaii was our
first experiment in expansion, we may
expect to find our first failure there
recorded. So it is. If there be more
melancholy experience in the endeavor
to stretch our government, suited as it
is only to completely democratic in
situations, over colonial system than
is recorded in the Hawaiian islands,
we have no knowledge of it. Gov.
Carter has called an extra session Of
the legislature to meet on April 4th to
consider the finances of the treasury,
which is now bankrupt. The appro-
priations for the present fiscal year are
a million and a half dollars in excess
of income. 1t is ingenieusly suggested
that the territorial government should
be reorganized on a less expensive
basis.
Politically speaking, Hawaii has suf-
fered less than any other of our So
called colonies. We had not got used
to the business Of handling subject
populations at that time, and were still
a little delicate about plain dealing
with them. So we put Hawaii pRacti-
cally on a territorial basis and gave to
it's people very large liberty of ac-
ton. Who fsthe people" are and what
we are to do with them have since
been the questions that distracted US.
Of course the few thousand Amer
leans out of the population of the
islands who are responsible for the
revolution and for annexation have al
ways been "the people" in a political
sense. They have run the machine.
They have had the ear of the author
tiles at Washington. They constituted a
little clique, and an infinitesimal por-
ton of the population have been in a
position to grant favors to enterpris-
ing capitalists and to receive favors
in return. As far as the actual people
of the islands have any voice in the
matter, it seems to have been hostile
throughout to the United States. There
are just two opinions in Hawaii today
one being that of the oligarchy of
agents, and the other that of unconsid-
cred but oppressed and rebellious
common people.
Of course such conditions as these
breed misgovernment. There have
been jobs on every side. Hawaii has
governmental establishments suitable
to a small nation. With political ex-
penditures running riot on one hand
and greedy capitalists gobbling up
what is left, it follows naturally that
one of the richest areas of the world,
one that has been long developed and
is capable of supporting all it's people
in prosperity and in comfort, is crying
for a receivership.
The trouble in Hawaii is only an
indication of what We have to expect
everywhere. No good intentions and
no thoughtful care can prevent the col
onial system from working out other
wise under the auspices of the United
States, because it is utterly alien and
hostile to our own Institutions. The
great argument against expansion pro-
clivities is not the danger of 'im-
perialism" SO much as the certainty of
failure. For very shame we shall
eventually be obliged to lay the foun-
dations of good government in all these
so-ealled colonies by restoring to them
the principle of self-government, with
out which good government is impos-
sible.

and Associate Justices Harlan and

and are entitled to relief from the du
ties of their positions at any time when
they may choose to avail themselves
of the privilege. These retireinents
would give President Roosevelt a
chance to remember some of his
friends. 1t is said that Secretary Taft
is slated for the chief justiceship, al
though Ohio already has a favorite son

BOLD ROBBERY
/. LARSON HELD UP EARLY THIS
MORNING AND RELIEVED
or vALUAsLEs.
Masked Man shoves Revolver Uuder
His Nose. Takes Small Amount
Of Silver and Watch That
Cost Fully $500.

| What IL pronounced BY Chief OF
Police Haliock to be the first really
genuine holdnp that has taken place In
Astoria for many years occurred early
this morning at the corner OF Eleventh
street and Grand avenue. The victim
was L. Larson, well known saloon
man, while the artist who turned the
trick was a slender fellow, weighing
about 100 pounds. He went about the
job with evident knowledge Of the bus-
mess, and not only relieved Larson Of
money and valuable Of the value OF
imore than 5000. but threatened to kill
him IL he did not obey orders.
Larson started for his home shortly
after midnight. II is quite probable
that the hoidup man was pretty well
informed as TO the route the saIoon-
keeper would travel on HIS way home.
and he chose the dark corner at
Eleventh and Grand to execute his
plan. As Larson walked along the rob-
ber suddenly appeared before him, and,
showing nickel-plated gun under the
liquor dealers nose. commanded him
to throw up his hands. The persuad-
Ing appearance OF the gun caused Lar
son to promptly obey the command.
without any preliminary remarks. the
robber proceeded to search the saloon
man, taking for his pockets a small
sum OF money. Then the fellow
grabbed for Larson's watch chain. He
broke the chain in two and pulled the
watch out OF the victims pocket.
"Now, be on your way." was the
next command of the robber, and Lar
son obeyed. When he reached the west
side of the street he stopped to look
around. The robber was still standing
on the corner, and. pointing the re-
voiver at the saloon man. he called
out.
Keep on going. or I'll bore you!"
Larson went to the home OF DR.. w.
C. Logan. from which he phoned to
police headquarters. Officer oberg
reached the scene five minutes after
the robbery took place, but the holdup
man had disappeared.
The robber wore white mask that
covered his head and extended half
way to his waist. It was fastened be-
hind his head and eye-holes had been
cut in the cloth. The fellow seemed
10 have the professional knack and the
Job was done neatly and quietly.
The watch which Larson lost was
very valuable and he implored the rob-
Der to not take 1t. His request was
The signal for an oath. The robber
secured Sc or IS in silver, but over

'arried in his pocket.
