Jöch-e(i)tn again, Governor, lest the people Berry Rich. Would that his excellency would rise up and teil his dear people why he carne to be looking for that error in the returns on the salaries amendment. It is reported that Master Workman Sovereign of the Knights of Labor. will ask for an injunction to restrain Secretary Carlisle from issuing bonds. In the recent examinations at the West Point military academy.twentyone cadets were found deficiënt and discharged from the service. Among this number was N. K. Averill, of of Michigan. Ex-Governor William Gaston, the twentieth governor of Massachusetts and the first democrat to hold that office, died at his home in Boston last Friday. He is said to have been one of old Massachusetts' best. The Detroit Tribune manifested remarkable enterprise, when with the assistance of his Excellency, it scooped all of its contemporaries in exposing the "Comedyof Errors"(?) in the Governor's political household. If his excellency is in doubt as to the proper course to pursue in dealing with the perpetrators of the "mistake" made in canvassing the returns on the salaries amendment, we would respectfully refer him to the example set by his predecessor. Although the democrats are charged with the entire responsiblity for the business depression which the country isnow passing through,it can be shown that this depression began in July, 1892. In the six months immediately following this date, five of them previous to the election, statistics show a falling off in in exports of $91,000,000. The panic was at our doors when the republicans surrendered power. It was simply good luck that enabled them to get out of power before the crash came. The state central committee, of Illinois, has written a letter to the democratie congressmen of that state urging the early rilling of federal offices. We believe the position of the committee is well taken. Where changes are to be made without reference to the term of appointment of the incumbent, they should be made with the least possible delay, and where the old official is to be allowed to serve out his term, the new one should be commissioned to take hold at once on the expiration of that term. There are no interests to be advanced by delay in such cases. That business has distinctly improved since the beginning of the new year, all commercial agencies admit. While the gain has not been large it has been sufficiently marked to lead to the belief that the corner has been turned. That the improvement will prove lasting also is indicated by the fact that it is not alone in the speculative markets, but in the production by industries. The necessities of the people have led to increased sales in various lines and this in turn has brought about the necessity for production which has led to the starting of a number of large establishments in part force, while according to Dun's Review, more small concerns have started than have stopped. The same authority believes also that the issuance of bonds will have a good effect on industrial improvement. When the bilí to repeal the purchase clause of the Sherman act was before the Sonate, and just before its passage, Senator Henry M. Teller, of Colorado, in contemplating the utter ruin which he claimed would be wrought in his state by its enactment, actually shed (crocodile) tears. According to the Denver News, however, that state is not worse off during this time of general depression than her sister states. In proportion to the population, it says, there is less real want and fewer willing workers out of employment, while the indications of returning prosperity are nowhere more pronounced. The banks of the city have been improving so rapidly as to elicit commendatory notices from the comptroller of the currency. Thus has another prophecy of dire calamities to result from the repeal of bad republican legislation fallen to the ground. The republicans in the House of Representatives thought they saw an oppcrtunity last Thursday to put their democratie brethren in a hole, and to make political capital for themselves, by voting against the amendment to the tariff bill, offered by Chairman Wilson, extending the enactment of the free wool clause of the tariff bill until August. They accordingly united with the democrats who were in favor of the free wool clause going into effect immediately on the passage of the. bill, and defeated the amendment. Thereupon Chairman Wilson said he would not offer an amendment which he intended to offer, making the duty on woolen goods take effect December ist, but instead would let these new duties go into effect immediately on the passage of the bill also. It was then the turn of the republicans to go in the hole, as they were anxious to have the time of going into effect of the new duties on woolens deferred. It is now reported that the provisional government of Hawaii has for sometime been engaged u"pon the draft of a constitution for an independent Hawaiian republic. It is said that this constitution is in form much like those of our states, with a president and vice-president, and two houses of the legislature. An educational qualification, ability to read and write the English language, will be required for voters for members of the lower house, and for inembers of the upper house a considerable educational and property qualification will be required. The electors for the upper house will also constitute the electorate for the executive. This provisión will place the election of members of the upper house and the executive in the hands of the more intelligent white population. The upper house and the executive acting in concert will have power to prevent obstruction of necessary legislation by the lower house. It is claimed for this scheme that it will give the native population all the political rights they have ever had, and that the royal and executive power will be practically transferred to the intelgent white. This constitution, it is said, will not be promulgated until after word is received from Minister Thurston as to whether there is any possibility of any kind of political union with the United States.
