It has beu a long tim nine the couutry heard uf BoS Smith; but it .: ;;. uoverthole, to control its grief. - Keohuanizatios 01 the Democratic putty will nerer be wholly nuccwsful uutil it takes the form of outright death aud burial. It is evident that the house OOmmit tte ou foreign uff iirn ist uitule up of si'.ckooa who have no disposition to shirk their work. It is a Republican duty not only to Tote right, in Feoruary, hut to pass the intervening time In kooJ, straightfor ward, missionary work. . The anxiety of the Democratic lead ers in the boUM to bolt their Hawaiian crow whol, is natural enough, consid ering the kind of a dish it is. Notwithstanding the fact that Comedian Siuiterly's little performance tickled the risibilities of all onlookers, we are not conscious of any spirited encore The aDStETY with which Senator Carlisle defends his proposed bond issue has a tendency to stimulate su spicion. This vacillating tiiaueier doth protest too much . As a BCSUIM8 investment the bridge improvements will pay for themselves long before the most impecunious property owner feels the burden of the increased assessment. . - i We yet MAUTAIH that the harmony bird can only he caught by the liberal use of patronag salt. It h not in the nature of a Democrat to hold out against a proftsr of orUce. Resii;natiuN9 with strings to them eerm to be tjuite the rage But Repre sentative Sibley and Rjv. Dr. Talmage will not, we think, have the pleasure of being imitated by Senators Murphy and Hill. Mk Cleveland is criticized by fel low uartisaus for bis nomination of Peckham, not because Peckham is un fit, but because he u distasteful. There could be no deeper stab at Democracy's whilom prettusious of civil iservics re form. -i If there evek wa a tiui3 when lie publican partisanship rilled the lull measure of American patriotism it is at this time of threatens 1 Industry and humiliated aational credit A vota for Grow Is a blow for a jeaporded father land Reciprocity applies in small as well as maseive issues The suction of a di vided city which expect public im provements of its own should not make the tactical blunders of opposing simi lar expenditures for tUe benefit of other divisions. leniency. The not uncommon crime of over-officious police brutality can hardly be placed too emphatically un der the ban. An intkhkstimi rumor is that which credits Hauators Hill and Murphy with threatening to rosicn in case Poclum's nomination ihidl be confirmed. It t. unquestionably miochryphal ; first, be cause the . New York legislature has passed out of Hill's lianas. and secondly, because the "vindication" blntf has never appealed strongly to Knpir, state favor. It may ba that if the echemo had all its datftltl tix-d in ad vance, with a complacent legislator ready to st'iid thu two I Bnd4 senators Kleefully back, the Conkllog-Platt epinoiio might bo dMtaad worthy of repetition on the other ! of the house. Put even that supposition is hard to swallow. The more credible be lief is that Partner Hill and Murphy will remain in t position wliore they can enjoy to the utmost Orover Clovn land's continued dllOOfflntar. (j.ne year of Clevelaudism sees the hniucr,ii . disrupted aud :. business interests of the country ou the ragged edge. Let us trust that the romaining thr-e years of the nation's sell -indicted sentence will not wholly exhaust its great resource of patience. mmm It WOULD possess exemplary valui if Dome of theie roving bandit of vagrants who, with equal facility, kidnap cliil -dren or make off with inanimate valn ables, were to be brought roundly to book. The protection which society enjoys in this quarter is none too effic ient. As an evidence of the civilizing in fluence of the daily presi comes the conviction of Shaw nnd Bates, two of the country's most expirt confidence men. They attempted to bunco a farmer out of. five thousand dollars. If that tiller of the ioil;bad not been a regular reader of the newspapers he would today have five thousand dollars less to his credit at hit bank, aud two smooth young men would be just that much wealthier. The latest diplomatic blunder of the Cleveland administration involves less serious consequences than some of its predecessors, but, if all reports be true it is just aa glaring a breach of diplomatic etiquette. That an intelli gent representative of this government should commit the extraordinary indis cretion of Niinming dictatorial airs to ward a friendly independent power is almost incredible. We must assume until the facts are clearly established that Minister Smythe's oourse has been inaccurately described. It IB not the wish of any consider able portion of tbia community to in sist upon auch severity in the punish ment of local offenders as would turn justice into revenge. Nevertheless, when an officer of the law violates that law in performance of ita behests, it would be trilling with n serious off mse not to administer exemplary correction. If there be any characteristic of the son -tenoe imposed on the Brothers Woelker yesterday, it is that It inclined toward AS TO HAWAII. It is no part of the American pol icy to pronounce at this tints against Hawaiian annexation. The element of partisanship intro.ln set by Otttkoo senators forced to defend a blundering executive is nns emlyin a discussion of foreign policy which involves con siderations weighty to our nation's future Since It was not tho wish of a Democratic president to favor Hawaii's manly appeal, and llnoa in the exer cise of bis undoubtedly constitutional prerogative Mr. Cleveland has with drawn the annexation treaty from the senate, it is pertineut only to discuss the wisdom or unwisdom of such with drawal lo the light of established facts, but not pertinent nor seemly to seek to tie the hands of future presileuts who may be confronted byoonAtiom now wholly unforeseen. In this view tho resolution of Senator Tnrpla committing this government to a steadfast policy of cold neutrality toward the aggresive yonug It-publicans, sons of our own bloj I and thsli of our rlesh, who have successfully es tablished government by the people upon the ruins of a rotten throne, is untimely, ill-advised and exceedingly offensive to predominant smitiment. Ssnator Torpie'e obvious endeavor is to 1 divert attention from past blunders in our intercourse with the Hawaiian pro visional government by committing another blunder less glaring to the sense of this generation, but more in sidious in its ultimate influences and infinitely more harmful in Its inferen tial interpretation. Those minority senators who have announced thems-ives as ready to fight this sly proposition t. tu bitter end i are to be congratulated upon their as ! tuteneea and courage. It is revealing I no secret to say that the issues con cerned in this whole Hawaiian comedy of crimes and errors wilt perform a j prominent part in the Itleotlon of the next congress and in the election of the next president P. wouid undoubt edly comfort this administration could its infamous work be now coucealed by the substitution of sotm different phase of the question Put until the Americau people havj had a chance to express at the polls their complete verdict upja the Cleveland conspiracy to re gilvanizj a defunct throne; upon the studied ef fort to defame the reputable graad- aona of Grod-faarin a haralda of Chri - tianity and its civilization in a savage laud; and upon ttie tmiorlty which has utilized the cumulous machinery of the foremost republican government of uioderu time to blight the humble ambitions of a nursling democracy whose only fault was its too-implicit reliance upon our generosity, the sub- i stitution shall not occur ; anil the dis cussion of this policy of infamy shall not bu considered at an end. THE CASE OF SIBLEY. A good deal of unjust criticism ap pears just now to be hurting at the uneasy head of Representative Julius 'AiMar Sibley If those who con demn him for his so-called political vagaries would pause to consider all the fscts in the premises it is possible that they would be more lenient in their estimates of the man aud of li is perplexities. Mr. Siblev is a fair type of the enthusiasts who believe in per forming what campaign platforms promise. He w is nominated ou u ua tional platform, which declared that protection in any form was fraudulent and unconstitutional, which threw n l.i. metallic sop to the white metal maniacs of the silver producing west, and which directly and even anxiously solicitated the co-operation of all the discontented Populistic rabble from Androscoggin to Sin Dieiro. He has been foolish enough to con sider himself bound by these protnisas. Hu has been vsin enough to fancy that the southern theorists who dominate the Dsmocracy of t iday would liva up to a strict interpretation of tho pledges upon which thslr amazing success was dishonestly won. With the ardent toinp"nnent of most impia stoned reformers, and with possibly a somewhat hazy idea of just what the country needed, be had rushed eagerly in the arena, buoyed up by the hope of naving dragons to slay and of basking in the favor of applauding and tumul tuous millions That the dragons failed to fall in response to his political thrusts was his misfortun, but not his fault That th popular temper has since veered from its abnormal restlessness of tho halcyon autumnal dnys of 180U, and has awakened to a sober realization of tho gravity of its stupendous blunder, Is to be credited to Sibley's mishaps, but not accounted as his deliberate misdemeanor. Wo have no doubt that to a man of Mr. Sibley's impulsive tem perament there was much of rapture and incitement in the prospect which dawned upon him nt tho beginning of bis congressional career, We have no doubt that he actually saw bold rob ber barons waiting to be toppled over by the patriotic lance tin mis of Dsiuo popullstlc reformers. It is quite pos sible that his vision was intoxicated with the fancy picture of oppressod homes he would liberate; of mortgaged farms he would rescue aud of down trodden lu boring men whom he would exalt into independence und blooming thrift. As he says: "Prosperity was promised by Mr. Wilson and hie friends" in consequence of their policy. "Bnt only paupers and prisons aud gravel have followed it," The spectres of idleness and want sit today where he had hoped to substantial happiness nnd joy. Is it not enough to make Mr. Sibley tired .' It has certainly wearied his compa triots. MINOR FACTS AND FANCIES. it is no more than fair to acknowledge merit, eVi-u if It pa unTlt In what ninny will think a wrung direction. The United Proatj in is report of i h it Mitchell tight, sunt not only the Urst accurate news, but idse tho host report, OOniidOfBd by journalistic standards, of all the ener getic newa purveyors represented at Jack sonville.

A good point is made by Representative I'ai r's I'ourb'r-l'rogre.ss when it calls itt teutiouto the fact that even WIN the preaent police force doubled, there would need to be individual effort ioi the part of each citizen to suppress lawlessness aud to volunteer In the general euuipaign agalBlt orimo. Hut it will strike a good many resideutiof tins city, who ure also taxpay ers, that they should not bu expected to do all the battling. When ureal ureas of the City, because of He insufficient patrol men, remain for hours exposed to the dep reciations ot promiscuous prowlers, it is proper lli t to iucreuse tho force bet ore calling upon eltiSIUI to voluuteer u mili tiamen. Senator flerriug is recommended to take a goo i, square took at Bcranton uud then to consider where else hucuM do ouu- half so well. To be suru, there are places that don't have tho woo lea blot'K pavu luuut; that don't permit cows to patrol the lawns aud parks; that give more than ouu lone policeaiau to three square miles or so of costly aud baudsoinu homes; that do not permit great heaps of ashes, cast off tin cans and brush to decorate the vn cuut lot where somo day the Thirteenth's new armory Will rear Its lofty dolus; and that are not atll.cted with kidnapping oi'uan grinders with a penchant for play ing "Daisy Bell." But every community has its foibles and its faults. Wheu the senator gets to know us he will learn to dismiss these minor traits; for be will be profound, as are all visitors, in bis appre ciation of the real Sorauton, as exempl tried iu its lucessunt data, push aud hustle. . , Able Deinocratio Statesmanship.

The Deiuocrutlc leaders in cougi es will show bun a trick worth two of that. They are goiug to abolish reveuue as a means of maintaining government and tell us h.iw to live sumptuously ou the True, the Heautiful und the Good. Confronted by the emergency of uu inadequate iucomu, they have light-heartedly doubled the do tlcieucy. Told thut there aretoo many ar ticles ou the free list already, they humor ously retort by adding to it. Asked to consider the slguillcunce ot an issue of bonds, they illustrate the folly of that course bv destroying the borrowiug ca pacity of the republic. Boom the Bridge Improvement.

It is wonderful that the people of these populous and impor tant tenders to the prosperity of the city shonld so long submit to the insufficient and dangerous means of communication with the central wards which now exist. There have bean no addition to the bridge facilities since Bcranton was a compara tively insignificant village, aud while the accomodations then might be tolerable or even creditable, they are Insufttcieat aud intolerable when the needs of a city of luu.OJU people are taken into account. - Tht Intoltrable Income Tux Ifaiatopfcn W The measure is a blow aimed by the ir responsible and the Improvident at the Hub-tnutial, the thrifty, and thu success ful.
