By an article in the Woodstock Dewo- Jfy cmt tit last week, we learn that proceed- §"*** ings has been commenced in Justice y , , Court charging that illegal fees in certain f$ ^ t cases had been charged and collected in -- the Circuit Clerks office, and that fines fv. and costs had been imposed upon the Clerk.

Right wrongs no man, but hasty censure ^ may do a great injustice, and especially in a matter of this kind. The Democrat . t;•• remarks were in very poor taste to say the least. When this matter is finally set- tfed we may have something to say in relation thereto. Until then it were far better for all to withhold their censure, and form no biased opinion in regard to the matter. f, j Unooln'fl Prophecy. In response to the request of the Chi­ cago Tribune, Senator Cullom wired to ff ;• that paper the following tribute to v7 - James 6. Blaine: ; "I regard Mr. Blaine as one of the most ' \P~ remarkable men of the age; a man of % ' great ability, great energy, great love of /i, country, and one who for a generation t?# has had a greater following than any other man ever had in America in time of peace. The civilized world will motifs his death. I have known Mr. Blaine personally since 1864. I remember being in the White House on one occasion in 1863, when President Lincoln said to me, referring to a decussion in congress ft* ^,, during the day, in which Mr. Blaine took * , part, "that young Blaine,*'as he referred 'gp-y-- to him, "is a very able man and will |A*-" soon be one of the leading men of the nation." His career from that time |I"„>v proved the prophecy of the immortal t,~, Lincoln to be true." h- . «• ' i ̂ •t&» ii i 01; Wî The revolution that has been talk- %*• ^ of for years in Hawaii and several times attempted and failed has at length |;f, ; been accomplished, the native queen, Lilinokalani dethroned, and the govern- mentis in possession of a provisional ¥$" • government of foreigners. Thieantagon- p|^b ism between the reigning family and the P|r v foreigners who do the business of the IfS island is of long standing. The queen k'< y has endeavored to strengthen her place If"; by an appeal to native pride of race to make native politics supreme. Of the ||v;, 90,000 population only 35,000 are of d r pure native blood, and the commercial p§ ; • / interests almost entirely alien, have been j|| jealous of their acquired rights. Over P; . ninety per cent of the commerce of the J^'~, . islands is with the United States, and the |l^-- sentiment for annexation with this country is predominent. There are 2000 Americans living on. the islands, and they are among the most influential citizens ft id control large amounts of commerce. The first act of the new government is to appoint a commission to ask this gov­ ernment to take steps to annex the islands^ The interests of this country are great, but every precedent in its past policy is against the acquisition of de­ tached territory. The Hawaiian would be worth having if peaceably ac­ quired, but not worth fighting all the other nations for, and it is possible that undisturbed possession would not be allowed. One great difficulty in a policy of noa-lntervention is that England is ceady to take the islands if this country allows it, and the queen is English in her sentiments. This country cannot afford certainly, to let any other nation be su- preroe there, and, possibly, must annex In order to protect itselt, as it is evident WASHINGTON, D. C. Feb. 4,1803. The Week has been one of bitter disap­ pointment to Democratic Man. They have failed fto secure for the ofMningDen- ocratic administration the credit of the annexation of, or protectorate over, Hawaii; they have faiM to cut out of the Sundry CUvil Appropriation bill some sixteen millions of dollars which had been promised the people of the country for river and harbor improvements, and they have failed to deprive the armless and legless veterans erf the late war of the pittance allowed them by the Gov­ ernment for the purchase of artificial limbs. Whether their failure in this at­ tack upon the old soldiers will be perma­ nently so is uncertain. In the prepara­ tion of the Sundry Civil Appropriation bill the Democratic committee of the Democratic House brought in a measly appropriation of $75,000 for the pur­ chase of limbs for these maimed heroes of the late war, instead of the customary $650,000 which Republican congresses have given for that purpose. This led to a long and earnest debate, the Republi­ cans of the House ineistmg that the ap propriation as originally made by the Republican party in Congress should Continue, while snch economical North­ ern Democrats as Holraan and Outh- waite. and snch Sontherji members as Docbery, Savers and Oates favored cut­ ting the appropriation down to but one- tenth of its original amount. The Re­ publicans, being a mere handfull, were, of course, powerless to prevent the measure from passing in committee of the whole where members are not put upon record by the yea and nay vote but they were successful by obtaining an agreement for a yea and nay vote in the House where they still hope to be able to defeat'it. If not, it will probably be de­ feated in the Senate where the Republi­ cans still maintain a majority. Not content with refusing the armless and legless veterans of the late war the reasonable allowance which Republicans had granted them for limbs, tbo Demo­ crats of the House put themselves on record as refusing a reasonable appro­ priation ior head stones for soldier's graves. During the consideration of the Sundry Civil Appropriation bill congress­ man Cogswell, Republican, moved an amendment appropriating $40,000 for furnishing head stones for unmarked graves of our veterans. This was offered as an amendment to the amount of $25,000 which the committee had allot­ ted. This proposition on the part of a leading Republican absolutely horrified the Democratic side. To spend $40,000 of the people's money for head stones for soldier's graves was too much and the proposition was voted down by a strict­ ly Democratic majority of more than three to one. The great disappointment of the week, however, to leading Democrats is the proposition made by representatives of Hawaii for annexation to, or a protecto­ rate of, the United States. Mr. Cleveland and his Democratic friends had hoped that this glory would come to hiaadmin- istration. This event had been quietly planned months ago but had moved so slowly that leading Democrats who were cognizant of the situation had strong hopes that it would not materialize until the Cleveland administration came in. The fact is now known that under Presi­ dent Harrison's wise and generous ad­ ministration leading men of not only Hawaii, but of Canada, Cuba and Hay ti became desirous of closer relationship with the United States and made these facts known to the President and his ad­ visors. These advances were of course favorably received and it seems probable that had a longer time been granted the present administration it would have either resulted in the annexation of, or some closer relationship with several of our neighbors,Ipeaiiaps including Canada. So as an important a matter as this and one in which so many people were active­ ly interested could not be an absolute secret, and the knowledge of the facts in the course of time passed into the hands of the Democratic leaders. When Mr. Cleveland was elected he and his friends immediately began plotting to monopo­ lize as their own this great plan which had been formulated under the Harrison administration. They hoped that the shortness of time and the slow move­ ments which usually prevail in events of this kind, would carry over into the next administration the developments which have already occurred at Hawaii and which may occur in some of the other countries already named. And they were bitterly disappointed when tlut events at Hawaii took place and it be­ came apparent that the Harrison admin­ istration would get the credit of obtain­ ing control for our country of this im­ portant Pacific coast station. Just what result would come from the nego­ tiations, oi course, cannot be foretold, but there is reason to believe that they will result in a protectorate and may finally bring about annexation. ^The Democrats are fighting desperately for control of the Senate. Having suc­ ceeded in getting a Democrat elected in Kansas by aid of the Populists they are now struggling to bring sufficient influ­ ence to bear to induce the Senate to recognize a man bringing credentials from an illegally organized legislature. The Republicans of the Senate, however, are determined to thoroughly investigate the title of this claimant to the seat and the result may be some very interesting developments in which Democratic Sena­ tors may cut an important and un­ pleasant figure. President-elect Cleveland is still de­ manding of his party the repeal of the present silver law. His latest utterance has been a message sent by Don Dicker- son to leaders here that if this congress does not repeal the present silver law he will call an extra session for that purpose and make no appointments for those re­ fusing to vote as he dictates. It is not probable, however, that even this threat will force its repeal by this congress. O. P. A. IP#; • :w9r \ stuBM known concerning the lor a reorganisation of tile party. JFtulirhatli meant by reorgan­ isation is not dtoar. If it is only pro- poesd that changes shall be made in the method of conducting political cam­ paigns in order to secure a bettor can­ vass and more accurate information as to the political affiliations or preferences of electors; to bring those who are tern, porsrily charged with the managemeaf; of the campaign and the party leader^, into touch with the masses, and to pro* * vide a more effective means for reaching the individual voter, no one will on na­ tion the necessity. If, again, by the re­ organisation of the Republican party is meant the abandonment of those princi­ ples of the party which *ge supposed to , have met with popular disapproval, snch. a reorganization is impossible. It would :' involve a final dissolution of the party. ^ Any party which can adopt new prin ciples to meet every chance emergency, and which has no higher aim than pub­ lic plunder, is not worthy to receive, and, cannot hope long to retain, the support of that portion of the country without** which no party can succeed. It has been: gravely suggested that the Republican1 party should seek success by an abandon- < ment or a modification of its position upon the tariff, by the adoption of some modified financial proposition which, would satisfy a supposed popular cteK mand, or by a formal declaration against^ federal control of federal elections. The* Republican party must look for success?; in the triumph of its principles, and not | by trimming its sails to catch every pops-' lar breeze.--Senator Dolph in North American Review. m,v.r,,,,, 0^ -ms -j I > f if: i,'*.? yjr ix * ^ • * * A-1 - " » ' rf , > • ' . % , j .

On the ice below the tide mill are about twenty of the little wood­ en box houses used by the fishermen. On one of the coldest evenings the fish­ ermen were snugly ensconced in their little houses, with warm fires, pipes lit, and lines hanging down through holes in ; ( the ice for the benefit of the smelts. It had been so cold that the water next the tide mill had frozen soliu, so thai when the miller hoisted his gate the water, instead of taking its accustomed channel, ran out on top of the ice to a depth of about six inches. The flood was upon the fishermen before they were aware of its cause. At once there was a panic. They left their warm houses and rushed headlong for the bank. Soon one of them, a genius,, hitched a rope to his house and dragged it ashore. In a few minutes all had adopted the plan, and in a twinkling the smelt village had vanished. When the water subsided they returned.--Portland (Me.) Press. To Breed Kangaroos In America. Henry G. Adams, of Sydney, Aus­ tralia, is here. From Montreal he goes to Topeka, Kan., and from that point he will reconnoiter the southwestern prairies with a view of purchasing large ranches for rearing an animal tfpver seen outside of a cage on this continent--the kangaroo. "The kangaroo is to take the place of the almost extinct buffalo," said Mr. Adams today. "I am confident," he con­ tinued, "that they will thrive in the? same latitude as that in which the Amer­ ican bison multiplied to such enormous herds. I am told that the climate is similar to that of New South Wales, but I shall soon know the truth for myself. I will spend the winter in the* south­ west, and before the end of next sum­ mer I expect to make my first importa­ tion of kangaroos."--Montreal Cor. Chi­ cago Tribune. 1 : mzm ' - ",V": W9, %•?!
