Wants To Know The Truth

Senator Lodge proposes, il possible,to ascertain the truth about Hawaii. Of counse, the people oí this country concluded añore thati a year ago that President Cleveland and Secretaj-y Gresham had covered themselves with disgrace in thelr efforts to restore the deposed queen of the iisland kingdotn to her throne, and it was, a:nd is, prctty gencrally believed tliat the report which was preparod by M.r. ('lev'la-nd's commissioner, Bloujit, was made up tirely of the testi'inO'iiy or Avitnesses prejudiced in favor of the queen, with 110 attempt to get at the truth. Senator Lodge evidently imagines that the report of Admiral 'Walker, wlio was in charge of the fleet sent to the linrbw of Honolulú, wtll pent li-j,lit on the subject. The adimtnal's report has never been Kivfii tu the ]illk', probably for the rrasim Hint H was against ihp policy of ('lp-:l:uiil and (vesham. The resnhiüoin wliioh Senator Lodge inferodiuced ia t !ic Ki-u.-i tf recently is ded i: bring that report from the piueoii-hole In which it has reposed, did givc it to the public. . It (ïms rat.iier rough to further luumiliate Mr. Cleveland at this time, but as a matbex of fact he escaped much easier than he deserved from i-esponsibility for the part he played im the Hawaiian aifalr.

Tlie little band of Piigree boomors up at Graad Rapids who started in t-o oppose their own townsman, Senator Pattoai, secan to be getting swamped by the almo.st uniTereal approal the cilzeais of the second city are sliowing for theJr favored son. Tlieirs ís a. conteimptible business and wfll probably seriously affect their future cliances tor iaifluence in city and state politics. It ought to, at ajiy rate, as it seldoju comes to the good lot of a city io have the benefits and pi-esfge of a U. S. Senator. I'.ut coui-se w 11 bo of little avail, for the people of this state are coming to appreeiate the scholarly and brainy young man representag them in the Sánate'; and the sentiment for hini is growing tvory day. An iait-ei-esiting paper comes to our table in tlie C-entennial number of The Rutlmid Herald, ceU'bratiaig its one hundredth birthday. With it is a sim Ie of its first issue on December 8, 1794, when Washington was president, giv'ing the address of the American ambassador to France, James Monroe, o-r Muoiroe, as it was spelled. In the 'announcement made by tJie proprietors in tliat first issue, is the followjing curious paragraph : "The jrice of The Heirald will be nine shillings per annum to those to whom we eend the paper ourselves ; seven isliillimgs and sixpence to tliose who cali at the office and' take them; and thO lowest prices wblch are custoniary in A'ermant to those oí the posts who take them in considerable quantitbe. It will not be in our power to be at the expense of publishing the Herald till the expjration oí the winter .after tliis, without receiving some part of tlie pay, to enable us to defray the aiecessary expenses. In the course of the present winter, the gentlemen who favour us with thelr custoni, will be ed good as to advance payment for ooie quarter of a year, to enable us to supply them with the Heral J the other three quarters." The present nuimber has a history of itself frora tJie beginnng and shows a wonderful advajice from. tliat first number. Tliere are oinly thirteen mewspapars in the country wli!ch have paseed tlie cemtennial mark, all in New Bngland, except the New Jersey Journal, commemced in 1779. We congratúlate our agel but youtliful contemporary, liopimg it will live long and prosper. Tlie senatorial cojitest st 11 goes merrily on, and the people ha."ve the satisiaction of knowing tliat whatever is the outcome, Michig'ain is sure of an able representa tion. The opposition to Se.nator McMillam for the long term has not developed, nor will it, and he will undoubtedly succeed liimself. ThO contest ie ■ tor the short term, and the fight is between John Pattom, oi Grand Rapids, and J. C. Bunrows, of Kalamazoo. Botli mem have good claims and good chances, but with Burro ws airea dy elected to the house, where he is assured a leadimg positron, there is a growiing feelng that the endorsememt of Gov.
