Papers are busy assigning motives for the President’s action in selecting Judge Jackson to fill the vacancy on the Supreme Bench. But whatever motive may be assigned, all are agreed respecting the fitness of the selection. Let’s take Hawaii, then Canada, then Cuba and the adjacent islands, then Mexico and Central America. That is about as far as American desire for extension has grown as yet. We don’t want the earth! Not yet!

Tim unexpected condition whichlias arisen by the visit of the Hawaiian delegation to our coun try brings us to what seems a crisis in the history of our foreign relations. Shall we hold to our traditional ideas and confine our possessions to this continent, or shall we break away, and begin a system of protectorates, or colonial governments? —that's the question. The Hawaiian affair is not so large a one in itself, but it assumes importance when we consider it with reference to our foreign policy. It is the entering wedge which will lead to almost endless complications. But if we decline to accept Hawaii ■it seems probable that she will turn to England, and England’s policy is too well known to think of her declining such an offer. The strategic value of the islands as well as their commercial value would make them a tempting , bait. Our nation has come to a time when it must decide about its foreign policy. We need uo longer fear the opposition of any of the great powers, for we are their equal. The questions connected with the Hawaiian situation are so novel as to be almost without precedent. Here" comes an independent people knocking at our doors for admission on almost any terms we may see fit to offer. Can wo/refuse? 'We are a people governed by the voice of the people. Here is a people expressing its des ; re to be added to us, can we refuse their plea, if they are able to show the requisit intelligence?

The Democratic papers which did so much howling lest President Har- 1 rison should appoint a successor to 'Justice Lamar before March 4th, have found their howling all in vain. The President has gone quietly on in the performance of hit; duty, and has selected Judge Howell" E. Jackson, of Tennessee, to fill the vacancy on the Supreme Bench. Harrison has been wise enough to select a, Democrat for the office, because the large majority of h ■ Justices are already Republican. Any fair-minded man will admit that political questions should not enter our courts, nor interfere with the determination of legal disputes. Judge Jackson is highly esteemed in the courts as a lawyer, '."'he following from the Cincinnati Tribune indicates the appreciation in which he is held : “Judge Jackson is universally popular with the bar of the circuit, and his withdrawal from the courts whore he is so well known and highly esteemed will be keenly jolt, though all will rejoice at the signal recognition of his rare equipment for the highest judicial position.”

Griffin returned Monday evening from Washington, Daviess county, where she had been called to attend the funeral of her nephew. E. B. Fishel had a narrow escape from a disastrous fire at his residence yesterday morning. The floor caught fire from a pipe passing through it from below, and when discovered the fire was making good headway. A few minutes later would have made it difficult to save the house. Mesdames Mary Woehler, C. M. Rominger, John T. Rcmy, Paul Dronberger, and Lydia Neligh spent last Friday evening with Mrs. E- A. Norman. After enjoying some of Mrs. Woehler’s rich jokes, lunch was served and the company parted with best wishes for their genial hostess. Some time ago George W. Cooper was assaulted when attempting to pass through the ticket gate at the Indianapolis Union station by one of the station officials. He brought suit and was awarded damages by the lower court. The case was appealed and the higher court has affirmed the decision of the lower court: (1) One who has purchased his ticket and is passing, at the prop<y time, from the depot to. the train, is a passenger, and entitled to the rights of a passenger. (2) One of the prime duties resting upon a railroad company is to protect its passengers from assaults and,injuries by its servants, and the question of its liability for assaults upon passengers by a servant of the company does not depend upon whether or not the servant in committing the assault is within the scope of his employment. Miss Margaret I. Dickson organized a “Y” on Tuesday evening, Feb. 2d consisting of ninteen members. They met at the home of Miss Pearl Pangburn last Tuesday evening. Seventeen members,-and goodly number of visitors were present, six of whom signed the pledge making a total of t wenty-three members at present. They will meet at the home of Miss Dora and Omer Miller, Tuesday evening Feb. 14th. How proud we are to see the young ladies and gentlemen of Hope becoming interested in temperance work. Success to them. The following names are officers of the union: president, Dora Miller; corresponding se.-retary, Nora Reber; recording secretary, Pearl Pangburn; treasurer, Anna Rights.

For The Republican. THAT NEW SALOON. WM. H. VOGLER. There is some talk of Hope having an additional saloon in the near future, on Jackson street. — NewsJournal. The license system tends to the multiplication of the saloon, and the saloon is the procuring cause of poverty, misery and crime. The presence of a saloon is a curse; its absence a blessing. But it rests upon the good people of Hope to break up the sale of intoxicating liquors by creating a taste for better things, SINCE OUR GOVERNMENT IS AGAINST her best citizens in the licensing of saloons. If it is true that self-pre-servation is the first law of nations, then in the license system and the consequent multiplication of the saloon, we are degrading our citizenship and destroying ourselves. He who, under the license system, lends himself to the sale of intoxicating liquors as a beverage, whether in the saloon or in the drug store, becomes an enemy of his kind, and, strange anomaly, the authorized and protected destroyer of the prosperity and intelligence of his fellow citizens. Would Crump & Sons allow the government to license a man to drill holes one-sixteenth of an inch in diameter. in the bottom of every war vessel ? But, to the point. Let’s talk up something better than a saloon. There has been talk of a literary exchange among a number of gentlemen in town. Now, is there public spirit enough to hire a room on the ground floor of a building, in some central and public locality, where all these periodicals will be placed on the tables for the use of anybody and everybody who will agree to act as a gentleman while in the room? During the - inter the W. C. T. U., or any well lisposed ladies, might have in connc tion, if it is desirable, a table where a bun and a cup of coffee could be had for three cents or a nickel, and in summer lemonade or soda water. This is business. Success in everything depends largely upon good health. DeWitt's Little Early Risers are little healthproducing pills. See the point? Then take an “Early Riser.” S. Stapp & Son. Origin of Valentln’tf Day* Like many another man St. Valentine—or plain Valentine before he died—was not appreciated until after he had passed from earthly scenes. He was a bishop and was noted for his love and charity. He lived in wicked, iruel old Rome. Centuries before t’ e Christian ora the Romans had feasts in the month of February called the feasts of the Lupercalia, and one of tht customs peculiar to the feasts was the placing of the names of the young women in a box, from which they were drawn by the young mei. Later, upon the rise of Christianity, it was made a festival of the church, and good St. Valentine was fixed upon as the proper person whom the custom should honor and the day celebrate. Piles of people have piles, but De Witt’s Witch Hazel Salve will cure them. S. Stapp & Son. 1,000 Shirts and Pants Just Received! GEO. L CHANDLER.
