CABLE to the Hawaiian Islands would have paid for Itself in the past few weeks.

THE worK of reforoi in St. Lonin is having some good eiiects, after all. A lawyer over there has turned preacher.

THB government was able for a time to suppress the news from Honolulu, bat it's very small business for the government to be in.

A NEW JERSEY man has been fined ten dollars for winking at a pretty girl at a church social. One by one the privileges •f the sterner sex are being taken from them by the autocratic courts.

THE universal celebration of Andrew Jaokson's birthday on Monday, accentuates the injustice of a ballot law that prevents that worthy patriot from being voted for when election time rolls around.

OBSCURITY, do^p and dark, is yawning for some of tho^e government officials who continue to act as if it is noneof the public's business what is being done by United States representatives in Hawaii.

IT costs the government overa million dollars a year for salaries of officers of the army who are on what is called detached duty. This is in many cases a useless expense that could be cut off, and the congressman who has the hardihood to attempt to fight the army ring that dominates Washington can make a name for himself and save some money for his country.

*For'"* nyUyears the 'people have had I din^P,aFiny?heir ears that our present tariff syftexn is a pernicious thing, an infamous "war tax" that ought to be wiped off the statute books. Yet when the opponents of the system come into power the first thing they propose to do is to pass the law taxing incomes, itself one of the moHt odious and unsatisfactory features of the laws that were enacted during the war period. However, it Isn't a law yet, and possibly will not become one.

THERE were 570 more suicides last year than in 1892, and a total of 4,436 in all. Of these 2,010 wore caused by despondency and business losses. It is a curious feature of human nature that at times when the future is not pleasant to contemplate, and greater personal efforts are needed to conquer the present, with too many men it is the rule tosurteader In the face of the danger. They selfishly forget the interests that depend upon them, and avoid the trouble to themselves bv takinir th"tr own lives.

AN Illinois sheriff is being oensured lor furnishing a murderer in his oustody with a razor, with which the prisoner attempted suioide. If a few more murderers would commit suicide they would get their just deserts, death, and mt the same time save the public vast sums of money spent to secure their •onyietion. The dignity of the law •ould uot be vindicated in that way, it's true, but it seldom is properly in the «ase of murderers. With 6,615 murders committed last year there were but 126 hangings, too small a percentage in the interests of justioe.

Star-Eyed Goddess of Reform,'*

sired by Henry Watterson, dam "Free Trade," 1* not at all pleased with the Wilson bill. Mr. Watterson, who speaks publicly for the Goddess, in an address before the Watterson Club at Louisville, Monday night, denounced the new tariff measure in the most unmeasured terms—not because it reduces the revenues too much, but because it doesn't cut them down enough. He styled the bill as a dose of "revenue powders in protection capsules," and in other words equally as bitter expressed his utter contempt for the law whose passage an originally presented can hardly be looked for. With many Democrats fighting it because it makes such radical reductions, others opposing itbecause it isn't radical enough, and the Republicans united in their opposition to it, the bill, if it could speak, Wnuld probably ask, u\v here am I hi?" After many fruitless* efforts a quorum Meumi in the House on Monday, and was finaOy decided to ta.fce a vote on the bill the 29th Uist. without Utt. There it will pass, but when it goes to the Senate will be subjected to a series of attacks

lifill#

that will„no doubt disfigure it to-sach an extent"that its own father will not be able to recognize it. It is not known yet, or it is not announced, if known,whether the internal revenue law changes are to be incorporated in the tariff measure, and if they jure, with the added complications of the income tax, then the fate of the bill, both in the House and the Senate, becomes more doubtful. Altogether, the condition confronting the mnj rity is one that is likely to ke^P the»ri awakp of nights.

a the World's Ka'.r grounds were destroyed by fir# on Jkiouday, and the man­|he ufacturer's building partially, ruined. The destruction of the peristyle sterns like a rude awakening from a beautiful dream. Artists and poets have vied with each other in attempts to portray the striking beauty ^nd grandeur of this work of art, but words and pictures were almost powerless in the efforts. However, now that it is gone, it is pleasanter to think of the structure being wiped out by fire than by the destructive hands, of the men hired to tear it down, with each day's work leaving it a more and more unsightly ruin.

MB. CARTER, of Montana, who was chairman of the Republican National Committee in the last campaign, and Ex-President Palmer, of. the World's Fair commission, announce that ExPresident Harrison is not to be considered a candidate in the next contest. Some credence is placed in their talk, as both are supposed ta be close to the expresident. Very frequently, however, those who are supposed to be "close" to men of prominence, do not talk with authority, and it may be possible that it. is true in this case. The ex-president is attending to his own business, and practicing law in Indianapolis, and so far as the public knoWs expresses very little concern as to who is to be the candidate in 1896. The next campaign however, is along way off, and before it rolls around many public men will be made and unmade, and he can contentedly bide his time.

THE race ring that has controlled New Jersey for years past, although defeated signally in the last election, would not surrender without a struggle. At the opening of the legislature this week, the race people refused to recognize the anti-racing representatives, and closed the doors against them. The latter were battered in, however, and the anti-race people organized the Senate and insist that they will not surrender their advantage if they have to fight it out on that line all summer. The boodlers have had such complete control in that state for so long that they are blinded to the fact that the people have tired of their rule, and hence will do ail they can, lawfully or unlawfully, to maintain their corrupt control. It's a wise politician who can realize that his race is run, but this particular lot in New Jersey do not seem to have any desire to be placed in that class.

MB. HORNBLOWER'S nomination to a place on the Supreme court bench has been reported adversely on by the Senate committee on judiciary, thus assuming his rejection by that body. He can now devote his time and attention to the interests of the corporations in whose employ he has been for many years. There will be little regret at his rejection, for, while none dispute his honesty or ability, much of his time has been spent in defending corporations, and the training of a life time will surely tell. We expscfc our judges to be honest, and believe they are, but they are no more than human. There are many men in the party of as high legal attainments as this rejected appointee, with the experience on the bench that he was lacking, and no doubt an appropriate man will be named. It will be wise, however, for the president, if he expects an appointee to be confirmed, to select some man agreeable to the Senators from York State, who gained a personal victory in Mr. Hornblower's defeat.

some funny things in this

world, when we have no kodak with us. Our Supreme court furnished aspe*t»cle this week, that Is highly edifying to the public at large. The fee and salary law was before the court, in an. argument as to its constitutionality, aud among the lawyers attempting to prove its unconstitutionality was a gentleman who was a member of the legislature that enaoted the law in question, and who was even a member of the committee, that reported the bill and recommended its passage. Now he thinksthe law is unconstitutional, unjust and a tax on justice. It is not often that a man is called on to go into court to prove that he is wrong, and because it is so rare the present case is rendered the more striking. The Attorney General, took occasion to "roast" the gentleman for the parts he had filled in the case, but the roast failed of all effect. In the passage of the bill the lawyer was supposed to be on the side of the people. Now he has a retrainer from the other side.

Within the past two years it has, by adopting pro* gressive methods and injecting push and enterprise in all Its departments forced itself into the very front rank of great Chicago newspapers.

Uncompromisingly Republican on all National issues, The Inter Ocean does battle for what it believes, to be the true faith in a manner that at once commands' the attention of the public and respeot of all. It oan be reoommended to those who desire aclean, reliable, enterprising metropolitan family newspaper.
