PH1ULSTHK0PH1 mi: ans tlio love of all mankind; tut v ;u philantbrouuv hat bo lore to waste ou the auarchiatic T i thrower, i i HAWAIIAN PROGRESS. Iloneit Americans of all sbadea of partisan belief onijht to read with pa -cuiiar pleasure current reports of tho Steady prorets that Inn been made by the hardy patriot of Hawaii iu their efforts to establish governuieut by the people ou the ruins of a rotteu bar barism. The new that I'rMident Doli and his associate cllicials of the pro visional government have tucceatfully tltvised a plan to prpetuat eonstltti tijual rule by nieaus of fair election, to be participated iu by intelligent and responsible nltiltOJ, i doublv gratify ing in view of the abortive rtT.irt inado ty our misuiJed chief executive to throttle this republican uprising and fortify in it place the wanton auto cracy of a brutal n'.ieerj. This atrocious act of rtnrepublioau diplomacy, although happily uiuuc OtMful, has given to the bettfr ele ments of Hawaiian cltiaioihip a paeul lai and an intimate claim upon true American y:upatuy. Q lite apirt from the natural destiny of the islauds. which noiuu uneiriusly to ultimate political uuion with the Uaited SUtes, the fact that tho first successful effort of these sturdy Pacific patriots to break the fetters of lioentions birbarism as imposed by a vengeful and impsrialis tic queen, was for a tim? jioparod thrnngh the deceived obstiuacy of the Very executive wh should hava given to it hit heartiest moral support has imparted to the new experiment an clement of extrniinliuary iuterest. The great tnaai of Americans feel sympa thetically drawn toward it. They ex perience an uncommon aeus of mutu ality iu this aggressive anl wisely di rt(?td striving for free institntioas liniiUr to our own, t The draft of the proposed constitu tion has yet to be submitted to the electorate for approval or rejection, Cpcn its fac-j iteems fair and jotj and it is to be hoped that its essential ptinciples, if not iti exact phraseology, may be overwhelmingly ratified at the Hawaiian pollj. The provisional gov ernment wh'.ob, with only a handful of irave men behind it,could triumphantly Tt slat the combined intrigues of the opposition, the hostile machinations of the great Sprecklet sugar oligarchy and the un-American plotting of the American executive, beating every an tagonist fairly and squarely with bis own chosen weapon?, thoroughly de aerves to bo prolonged until such time as returning reason shall bring to its support influences now unjustly ar rayed against it, The defeat of inch a cause, after the wonderful successes tuat it baa met, would attain the pro portions of an international mi'S'--tnne.

On the contrary, it is whoUaom.', nutritious and pleasing to the taeto Cheiuittrv prove that as a substitute for dairy butter it fulfill all tho nutritive fuuctious of the purest product of the churn. It hat the ad ditional advantage of being cheap. To many poor families It 1 the only kind of butter accessible. If tt law per mits and protects the manufacture of poisonous drugs, why should it stretch out an inhibitive hand against the making of tometliing that is indisputa bly utefulaud wholaeouut No statute should eucourage decep tion. There should bo a law requiring the plain tabling of oleomargarine wherever oleomargarine is expoiud for sale. People ibonU know what they are buying. But, that doue, the proper duty of the legislature ends. It is no part of the legislature's duty to fortify the dairy farmers against fair and open competition. To begin thit spec ial legislation would be to gat a uust dangerous preoedent. If the batter that comes from the mellill lout u liters of well-fed Keystone cows cannot commaud a reasonable market price strictly and eolely upon its merit, our dairy interests should not expast the ttate to savo them from financial losi at the expeus ot its individual OililSOS O0XBIDI8INO HOW soon Brazil's lat est revolution was done for, w cannot repress wonder as to what it was baguu tor. TWO CHANGES. John H. Blackwood, for nearly two years city editor of The Tuiulnk, bat resigned to accept the management of the new Frothiughain theater, u posi tion for which he i eminently fitted. Mr. Blackwood' relation with tuo owners and manager of TBI TbIBUHB us well as with hi fellow employes, have been of fio most cordial ohar aeter. Prompt iu the extaation of his duties, n gentlemau ot unwavering probity and a writer of veratile gift, Mr. Blackwood leaves none but friend bthiud him, and assumes his new posi tion with the very best wishes of all. The position of city editor, thus va cated, has been filled by the appoint ment of James V. Mitchell, who has been a member of Till TRIBUXI stall continuously since its first number. Mr. Mitchell has proved iu many trying emergencies a newspaper man to tbe back bone, lie wields a facile pen, is indefatigable iu pursuit of new?, possesses Rood judgment and lias never been known to betray a con fi ieuce. The years that lie has accept ably acted as assistant city editor are good assnrauces that he will prove worthy of this larser trust. HELP THE HOSPITAL. There is probably no institution in Bcrauton that is more worthy of the universal support of its citizens than the Lackawanna hospital. An institu tion that affords shelter and relief to the nffl cted regardlers of sect or creed, His one that should receive tnconr ngra'nt in tho way of contributions that would obviate the necessity on pirt of tho management of ever calling for aid to meet running expnee. It wonld sem that the people who freely give their lime to the management of the institution should not be hampered in their work by the lack of sufficient funds. The announcement that the hospital it short of funds therefore is a cause for ragret. The recent improvements and the establishment of a school for nurses bave increased the expenditures to such an extent that tbe cash on hand has been insnfflclent ,Jo liquidate outstanding bills, and the officials in seme instances have been obliged to ndvance money from personal funds to pay the salaries of employes in th hospital building. This is a state of affairs that should not exist in gener ous, open-handed Scraoton, and it is to be hoped that the management of the Institution will not be obliged to take n otep buckward by reducing the facil ities of the hospital through lack of funds. A business man's csrnival for the benefit of the hospital has been an nounced for a date in the near future. Let tbe enterprise be supported and patronized in a way that shall testify that tbe earnest workers at the noble institution have not been forgotten by the good citlzans of Ssranlon. "Bloody Bridles" Waits, of Colo rado, will need to put a check rein on bis egotism or else be prepared to tako n large and earnest licking. w AS TO OLEOMARGARINE. It it an agreeable indication of re turning common sense among tbe farmers ot tbit state that they are lest bitter than formerly toward the man ufacture of oleomargarine. In insti tute at Pittsburg the other day, repre sentatives of Allegheny couaty agri culturists passed with practical unani mity, a resolution requesting the leg islature to remove its inhibitions on this manufactured substitute for butter and enact instead a law simply guard ing agaiust deception in tho sale of oleomargarine. The principle upon which legisla tion prohibitory of oleomargarine's manufacture and sale ia based is mani festly a vicious principle. Oleomarga rine is not, like alcohol or strychnine, a poison. It does not ruin either the oEN ator yL'AY doubtless imagines that in grave financial crises like the one which Democratic blnnderlai: has just precipitated, the nation is justi fied la setting maney any way it can I'pon no other hypothesis can wo ex piaiuhis vote to coin a vacuum. THE EVIL OF IT. It is contended by apologists ;for ths liland seian.orage measure, and Darli- cularly by those who wish to excuse Senator Oiay's affirmative vote upon this bill, that the proposition, if not wholly eonnd in principle, is virtually harmless in fact. Tue uiry assertion is mide that Lncle Sam's credit is good and will not break down under the new strain imposed by this creation of $"O,00O,O00 worth of additional obliga tions. Comfort is also derivsd from the fact that nobody in particular, un less it be Mr. Bland himself, is visibly happv over the bill's victory, and that tliTerore, it cinnot lairtv oe termed a triumph of the iuflitioniats, but rather an innocuous compromise. ihe siierman act or i- was also a compromise. Wnen it was passed in response to a pressure by the silver pro ducing interests that momentarily overcame the scruples of champions of honest money there wae just such a cry as tbe one to which we are now being treated. It was hailed with general re joicing as a "harmless" makeshift which would serve to ease the clamor of the white metal single-standardlsts and do the real business interests of the nation no particular harm. Yet the records of this very congress are big with eloquence denunciatory of what was unsparingly nallbd the "criminal cowardice" of the Sherman com promise, and the monetary interests are yet trembling responsive to the bankers' panic of last summer which was laid to this same "harmless" act We do not anticipate any dire conse quence from the Bland bill itself, thould it receive executive approval, which is doubtfnl. But there is no limit to tbe possibility of evil which can resnlt from the continued applica tion of its vicious and revolutionary principle. Either tho commercial pa per of tbis governmtnt mart nave nn honest dollar in coin btrbiad every 100 cents' worth of its prtUuitd face vsln, or it mint not. If we accept the latter view, it should be accepted fully and frankly. We should get rid utterly of coin ns a standard of value and fall at once to creating wealth by sheer act or printers inK. ihat is what flit folly meant That is the underlying vice of this mythical seigniorage coining I HI oood citizmt of Troy are mov ing with praiseworthy energy upon the abuses of Mnrphylim with their ghast ly culmination of murder. They hnve intrnstod the details to a committee of safety comprising 100 of the br-atcil- izens, and representing, in its member ship, every possible differoiioe in raoe, creed and politics. Preparation are in progress for a probing of tbe long fortified ring which threatens to be ex emplary in ita thoroughness. Sanaa tioual disclosures aro promised in the premise, and agents of the terrilisd boss are already endeavoring to avert the gathering storm by spreading false rumors appealing to religious preju dice, in tbehopoof creating dllMO sIouh among tha reformers. Kortuu ite ly this is an old and also a transpirent trick. It will not avail this time. Mur pbyism is clearly slated for the worst drubbiug it over rec.dveJ.

This is probably as it should bu, However, Mr Hardy does not in every stnsa de serve so much popularity as a creut uovelist. His 'Tecs of the D'UbMT villes," published about two years ago, was indeed a work of genins and and met with a well earned popularity success. lludvard Kipling' popularity seems rather to increase than dimiuish. His Many Inventions," published by the Appletou jusc before the holiday, has receivod much praise and from com petent critics. Mr. Kipling certainly possesses a more praiseworthy genius than many of his contemporaries. His work is certainly highly entertaining, while it doss not fail in being 'attrac tive and elevating. j WiUaimCnllen Bryant, tlra first of onr ureal .ew haul.int poets anil author ot the immortal "Tiianatopslt, was rorn a century ago Ihe Centen nial ot in hirtu will D npprounately celebrated next fall at Orat Birritii:- lou, where he was married und where he resided for several years.
