Ni-ither I're.-ident'.'levelnnd mr StTii-iary Oreslwun have any apologies to make for tlx' action of Coinmi'sioii',r I'loiuit in carrying- out his in st ruction, declaring thepro tiM torate proclaimed by Min ister Stevens, w i'hoat a shad ow of legality or authority, at an end, and in withdraw ing the protection of the II. S. fi tgand marines fr mii the provisii-iial Government of Hawaii. And the attempt of a few republicans to use the incident as a means to cre ate bad bl'iod between mem bers of the two parties has f-illen very flat, as far as Washington is concerned. Tli-re is no politics in t h e matter. It was simply a ques tion of riuht ud w rong which was olhVially acknowledged to be vvrmg ly tli Harrison administration hut was not righted then, as if should have been. If the provision al Government, of Hawaii is not strong enough to main tiiin itseif witliout the United Sialics it w not strong en ough to be p-cogtiizi d in any negotiation looking to an nexntiou ur any o'ht-r settle ment of the present pro!m. What has been done i nei tlici for nor agairr-t dnnexa tinn. in fact, has no bearing hniev r upon it.. It is si in -i:lv a Riej) towards doing the ri'tit thing. ;s soon as t h : right thing shall beeowe ap parrnt. M"ai'r.vhil the ad ministration i-s fcllv deter- tiined th.t no ot!;M- nation shall interfere with Hawaiian affairs. Senatoi Butler, of South Carolina, scored a point, as he nsual'y does whenever an opportunity is given him, when Senator Lodge, oF Mas sachusetts, offered an entire ly needless resolution, diree ting the Secretary of State to inform the Senate by whose authority the American fl ag was hauled down at Honolu lu, by offering a ti Htneniiuent adding the words "and mIso by whose authority the Ha me was hoisted.' Mr. Lodge knew that the President was responsible for lowering the (lag, and the resolution was only offered for buncombe Secretary Hoke Smith is in Georgia attending to some pressing pi ivate business. He will return to his desk this week. Extraordinary efforts are being made .by republicans to put the democratic Sena tors in a false position be fore he country in regard to the pioposal to investigate Senator Roach's connection with t)ie alleged hank embez zlement fourteen years ago. The republicans wish it to ap pear that the democrats re fused to allow the investiga tion because of their wish to protect Mr. Roach. No such conclusion can be reached, except'by a wilful distortion of the facts. Senator Roach has from the first personally desired that theinvestigation be made, as he manfully told the Senate last week; he ha asked for no protection, and what it mere to the point, he wants no protection. The op position of the democratic Senators to this oranyother inves'igation of even's in a Senator's life before he be came n Senator is based up on the highest authority in he land the Constitution ofthel'nited States, and it is mighty small business for anybody to try to make it appear otherwise, but then, you know, small business is second nature with some peo pie. The first enstallmentof the investigation of the Weather Bureau has been completed, and the immediate results will be the dismissal of sever al minor officials for their in abality to distinguish the difference between their own prosperity and that of Uncle Sair. and thefinul result ma v le striped suits for them. Thesecond instalment, which deal with bigger fish, will be started this week, and it is expected that it wdl result in showing that the big officials regarded the positioiiK under thh Bureau in about thesmne light that the minor officials regarded the property of the Bureau. President Cleveland told a Senator Saturday just before the extra session of the Sen ate aujourued that he had not taken up tha question of the appointment of a lib!ie Fruiter as yet, but erpecte i t do so very shortly. There is no lack of candidates and the most of them are men wlmse reputations are such that it will be extremely dif ficult to choose bet ween them. Secretary Carlisle isn't hoi -rowing any trouhleabout the prospects of another run on the gold in the Treasury for shipment abroad. He Ins. as the law directs, suspended the issue of gold certificates for the present, and is thor oughly confident of bis abil ity to meet nil deman is that are likely to be made, but, although he will not say bo, it will probably be necessary to issue a few bonds in order to do it. The Kentucky colony, tem porarily in Washington, was reinfor.'ed b y Hon. Henry Wattemon, on Saturday. Mr. Watterson called uttheState Depaitmeut but said he mere ly en1 led to p.iy his respects to his old friend, Secretary Gresham. He also paid hit resptc'sto President Cleve land, and it is not improba ble that he put in a word or two for some of his numer ous biends who are anxious to have a 'go' at official life. No office in the President's gift is big enough to tempt Watterson away from his pa per. A Rome correspondent to the N. Y. Herald says: "I be lieve that whoever fondles a dog from its birth, dreases, combs, washes and feeds it like a child, and causes it to become inflicted with dyspep sia, gout, etc., and so de stroys its nature that it no longer enjoys raw meat, fleas cat fights and all the cog nate joys which make up a respectable and natural ex istence of a dog, is guilty of a crime against nature and of excessive and uncalled-for cruelty that should be severe ly punished." Await Coming Event. Wilmington Messenger. The Chicago I'.iniwrs Voire believes that the Weaver gang will be in the Held in great strength in the next Presidential contest. But why? This Administration is evidently favor.ible to men of that party, having chosen its ablest man for the highest Cabinet place and regards others perhaps with a favor able side glance; Then it prom ises well as to reforms. Wait until the new Congress gts to work before predicting a Third party fight. If the democrats do not stand up square and fair to the prom ises made in their platform t he law of last year and the Congiess does not doits best in the way of retrenchment and reform and lower taxes, then let the l iitnj party go it with all the'r might. But if they ever d J anything sen hibie and lor thegood oi their country they must revise their platform, strike out all the wildeatism and centrali zing torn-foolery about gov ernment ownership, pawnbro kers government shop, pa ternalism, etc., and put men of sense, of honor, of respon sibility in the lead. Give Grj eer Cleveland and th demo cratsin Congress a good chance before setting "jp an antagonizing party. it may be that (Jen. Weav er, the old gal Lease, Peffer, Dr. Macune. Alary Ann But ler, and some of the othei small try political minnows will be favored with good pay ing offices before lS'JfJ rolls around. A good sized pone of bread striking a very hun gry fellow abaut the centre has been known to work, a wonderful change, (see GreBh am'n zeal now) in said fel low's feelings, and to have a roused the lookers on, for, to quote Tennyson, it wai 'a sight to shake the mindruff of Despair with laughter." So the Weaver gang should watch and wait and fill in all respects Dr. Johnson's defini tion of a patriot. See his dic tionary at that word. Await in patience coming events. Rome was not built in a day nor the Guano Islands in a month. Gen. Lew Wallace has re turned to his home in Indi ana after a reason spent in AsheviHe. He appears to be in excelent health, and a Cin cinatti reporter who inter viewed him when he passed through the city was impress ed by his "unmistakable mil itary air, florid complexion and splendid physique." Ad vancing years have sprink led thesoldier-auihor's beard plentifully with gray. Gen. Wallace iias with him, for fi nal revision, the proof-sheets of his new oook, "The Prince of India; or, Why Constanti nople Fell," on which he has spent nearly five years of careful work. He has taken far greater pains with it than he took with ' Ben Hur,"and has devoted especial atten tion to the historic accuracy of the story, which deals with the reparation of the Greek and Latin Churches. Hie volume will be issued b the Harpers within 2 months and will be 120 pages longer than "Ben Hur." -Cat oilman. Prml-tfnt iin-'r''"tt'u''-North Carolinian. There has bpen a persistent effort on the part of the lead ers of the J, party to misrep resent the ncti-jn of the Leg jishitiire in regard to the Alii- l I I .... MM. .. ..... 1 1. . ii in rrii.ii ier. i utr iriiiu uiim to be told. The only thing the Legislature did about th charter was to provide that any man who had put mon ey in the business agency fund could Jraw it out if he desired to do so. That is all. Mr. Win, A. Graham, Trus tee of the Fund, nil the Alli ance officers and their attor neys in their speeches said that they were willing to this, and ns a matter of fact they first suggested i to the committee that, was consider ing the repeal of the charter. Now some oftt hem say that they voted for or advocated this under fMercion; that they were afraid if they didn't do so, t he whole charter would be repealed; and that it was a wieked.thing in the Legis latuie to permit men to draw their own money out of aeon cent they ha d helped to make. We no not believe that any honest man can object to the Legislature. It was just and fair, and Mr. Atwator and every other Alliance Senator voted for the bill as it pass ed. Now they plead the "ba by act," and tr. to work up sympathy for themselves because they need to raise the cry of "Persecution" to keep their party from going all to pieces. The people are not fools. They lost thou sands of dollars two years n go by holding their cotton at the behest of the party men that they are now told that the dvmocrats are ras cals because the Legislature unanimously passed a bill al lowing poor farmers to take their money out of the busi ness agency fund if they wan ted to do so. That is all the Legislature did. Is that the realcaii8eof the great hue and cry we hear? No. There are two reasons: 1. The party junta feel the need of a rallying cry. If they can make the people be lieve they i;re persecuted and ill treated, they think they can prevent their utter rout and annihilation which i sure to 'ivcrtake them. They see the hand writing on the wall, and like drowning men they are grabbing at straws. 2. J lie i party men are mad because they cannot use the interest on the business agency fund to propagate their false notions anil con tinue their deception of the people. I hit; is the milk in the co coa nut. "Grab a Reot." Judge. "Pat what have you to say in your defence? Youi re brought up here for being drunk." Pat.' ' May i t pi a se y e h o n- or, but Oi was not dhrunk, Jevil a bit of it." Judge "But Pat the of ficer said you could not walk aiid had to hold up by a lamp-post. That is my idea of a drunken man. When do you call a man drunk Pat?" Pat "Faith and be jab bers Jedge, but Oi call a man dhrunk whin he has to grab a root to keep from falling off the face of the earth." Judg.

Yrvit V t'iniijHii.ii, A gr Hip of p l CIS ;f s one day last summer "trail ing through the throne room of the palace at Versailles, such as is too often duplica ted among Americans in Eu rope and at home. A father and mother, loud voiced and richly dressed, somewhat pompous in man ner, stood near a -picture, glancing anxiously whenever they spoke, as if in dread of criticism, to a young git 1 who held herself a little apart from them. Her features show ed that she must be t heir daughter, but in other re spects she was as different from them as if she had been born in another rank of life. Her dress and manner were quiet and w ell bred, her voice low and clear. She spoke to the guide in Parishian French and was as gentle and lack ing in self-assertion as they weie coarse and pretentious. In a word, they had bought for her the education and training which they never hud had. They followed her with fond admiring looks mingled d most with awe, while she dU cussed the portraits in. 1 1 -galleries with a friend. 1 n good buildingcontriictoraiiu his wife had seldom heard of these famous Bourbons and De Medicis of past ages with whom she was so familliar. She answered their questions with cold civility, but when it was possible, she ignored them altogether. It 9eemed as if she would gladly have forgotten that they were in the gallery, or, indeed in her life at all. Presently she stopped be fore a Mondonna which has been ascribed to several pain ters. The girl had keen, well " trained, artistic sensi'.tie, and she looked vith kiadiing eyes at the outline and color of the beautiful figure which for three centuries hari de lighted the world. "And to think," she said to her friend, turning away with a sigh, "that even the name of the painter is forgot ten. He must have given years of his life to this pic ture, and yet nobody remem bers him or is greatful" That sort of thing happens oFten in the world," said her friend, looking thoughtfully at the old couple who were wandering about neglected. They had poured out their money, their cares, their pray ers md love to make this wo man what she was, and she was the first to ignore them, to disown the debt I Ungrateful and unloving, she lacked the essential qual ities that are charms of true womanhood, and with all her culture was less worthy of re spect than the parents she despised. "B..B. B.' J. D. Watkins, Blakely Ga. writes: "Old sores covered my entire person and itched intensely night and day. For seyeral months I could not work at all. I commenced the use of Botanic blood Balm and commenced to grow bit ter the first week, and ar: now sound and well, f .v-c from sores and itching n.vi ut work again."
