President Cleveland didn't dweil any great length of time on the Hawaiian matter. Here are his exact words : "Since communicating the voluminous correspondence in regard toHawaii, and the action taken by the Senate and House of Representatives on certain questions subniitted to the judgment and wider discretion of Congress, the organization of a government in place of the provisional arrangement which followed the deposition of the Queen, has been announced, with evidence of its effective operation. The recognition usual in such cases has been accorded the new government." Very brief. No kind and encouraging words for the plucky little republic of the great Pacific sea. No friendly hand extended. No words of cheer and comfort. Xo nothing, only "recognition." Well, tliat cost Mr. Cleveland and his green-eyed secretary of state many and many a pang. But it had to come, for that brave little republie has the keenest sympathy of the people of this nation, irrespective of party, and should any power on earth ever atteinpt to ïnolest her in any way, thousands upon thousands of brave American hands would spring to her aid, and force this country to action in her behalf, whether it desired to move or not. But one thing is certain, no administration to come will ever daré, for a moment, to take an attitude unïriendly to Hawaii. The Monroe doctrine will. extend to the Islands of the sea - in this instance, at least. Max O'Rell, the noted French'man, who can see nothing in Americans except the ridiculous, says tliat the American woman lias a soft berth. Max prob' ably confines his statements to the class lie has had the best opportunity to observe. He ought to see the class- altogether too large - of nomen compelled to earn i living by manual labor, for a shiftless and drunkeu husband and a lare fiimily of children, - Fenton Independent. Lawyers stand up in court houses before juries in the presence of immense audiences and denounce men as liars, scoundrels, perjured villains, and when the court adjourns the men thus abused appear to harbor no ill feeling airaiust them. Bnt let a newspaper faintly intímate that a man's character is not entirely without blemish, and the editor has to confront a pistol, stand a libel suit, or at least sufFer the greatest of all mortifications - lose a subscriber. - Xorthville Record. Yes, it makes a difFerence, you know, and the lawyer is just as thin skinned about it, as anvotherman. President Cleveland has at last reconsidered his declination, to send a delégate to Armenia to inquire into the recent horrible outrages there, and liavmg called apon the American legatioo at Constantinople to nominate a manEor the place, Milo A, Jewett, United States consul at Sivas, was selected to act as the representativo of the United States in making the investigation. Mr. Jewett was boni in Sivas, ïurkey, of American parents, his father being a missionary. He carne to the United States in his youth and was educated in Massachusetts. lic became a physician. He was appointed consul to Sivas by President Harrison in ISÍI2 and is regarded as peculiarly fltted for the inquiry with which he ischarged.
