to build up an American navy and re
place the American flag on the eeas
again. The substitution of the Ameri

It is an open secret that oflere of port
folios in Mr. I leveland's ablnetare go-

declined the Secretaryship of S:nte, ac
cording to reliable information, and near- i
ly every other .sjbition in the Cabinet
has been refused enceer twice by men
Mr. Cleveland has approached oa the
su j-ct. The reason given in the m?j r
ity of cases has been that they could not
stand the expense of maintaining the po
sition 03 th s ilary of a CVio -t ollio ?r,
fs.inOa. year. This explanation ia not
regarded as a':tgether satisfactory. The
c t of living in Washington h.n nut a 1
vanced materially in the last few year.',
and while it is admitted that Cabinet of
ficers cannot save any part of their oiii
c al salaries, it is unusual to have the
tender of a Cabinet appointment declin--d.
Mr. Cleveland has bad more Cabi
net declinations than all of the Presi

The long Sanatoria' agony in N'ebratka
Lover at last. The Itemocrats all went

ree, Judge Aiin, by gl round vote.
The billot stood, A. S. Paddock o', W. V.
Allen 70.
This was the logical outcome of the sa
nation. The Democrats w anted the Re
publicans to go over to them and help
elect J.Sterling Morton, or some soch
dyed in-the-wool Bourbon, and the Re
publicans cn the other hand, tried to get
the Democrats to help them elect Mr.
Tbcrbton, but reither would have been
justified in accepting such overtures, and
i i is a matter of congratulation that the
Republicans stood by their guns faith
faily. While the election of a Topulist
was the logic of the situation, as we have
said, it would have been a mietake for
the Republicans to Lave taken the re
sponsibility of such result. The Slate is
naturally llepubliean, and will swing
back into line when the present cyclone
Las passed by. The Democrats Lave
nothing to lot. They can alTord to low
er their colors and run up another ilag.
Tn: Sherman Silver Purchase act w ill
not be repealed by the Fifty-second Con
gress. This was placed beyond question
by the action of the House Thursday in
refusirg to vote cloture for the purpose
of forcing tlruugb the repeal measure,
and in recommitting the special crdcr
providing for the ccr.iidtretionof repeal j
to the custom oi uie iuniiii:uie on
Rules. TLe iaHie of repeal was de
with in the House as in the Senate, with
very Litle recud to party lines. Tte po
litical forces of the two great parties
were about evenly divided, 107 Demo
crats and 3T Republicans placing them
selves cn record again the repeal of 'be
Sherman law, while 104 Democrats and
39 Republicans voted in favor of the
cloture resolution on which the advo
cates of repral based their hopes of s uc
cess. The ten Pcpnlist Representatives
held the balance of power. Their votes
turned the scale and assured the contin
uance of the present silver act. The so
lution of the silver problem is one that
thf Democracy will have to face during
the administration cf Mr. Cleveland. The
responsibility for dealing with this vital
question will rest solely on the party
which will have control of all branches
of the federal government.
There is no question now that the
Democrats will control the United States
Senate after March 4. That body will
contain five Populists who have. already
announced that they will act with the
Democrats in effecting an organization.
This alliance will place the, Republicans
in ti e minority and give the Democrats,
for the first time in over thirty years,
complete ascendency in legislation at the
federal capital. While this prospect is
to be deplored, on account of the grave
interests which are threatened, it will do
away w ith mixed responsibility, for the
course of political events at Washington.
Heretofore the Republicans have retain
ed their supremacy in the upper branch
of Congress, and their adversaries Lave
been able to hold trem jointly accounta
ble with themselves for the legislation
which was enacted. This condition will
no longer exist after the inauguration of
Mr. Cleveland. The power with which
the Democrats will be invested will be
tremendous, and in view of the radical
"reforms" they propose to undertake, to
gether with the socialistic vagaries with
which their allies are affected, it is not
strange that the nation awaits the com
ing wholesale change with dread. What
ever mischief follows there will be no
question as to where the blame for it
lies.
A Protectorate Already.
From &e N. Y. Pre.
Hawaii has already been brought un
der American controL United States
Minister Stevens, with the support of
Captain Willse, of the cruiser Boston,
and the approval of the provisional au
thorities, has declared a lormal protecto
rate over the islands pending negotia
tions at Wsshington. The stars and
stripe-s are floating over Honolulu, and
the marines of the Boston, in conjunc
tion with the soldiers of the Provisional
Government, are employed in enforc;ng
order in that city.
TLe change in the condition of affairs
is hardly less radical -than the change
hich deposed the corrupt and despotic
native (t'leen and established a tempo
rary government composed of the con
servative and substantial residents of the
islands. Minister Stevens is a man of
firmness, sagacity and patriotism. A
close friend of Mr. Blaine, he was ap
pointed t represent the United States at
Hawaii in order to assure the full main
tenance of American rights in the Arch
ielsgo. It issafe to assume that he had
an: pie justification for his aclion. There
is no reason to donbt the statement that
the peace of the islands was threatened
bv the alliance between the native ad
herents of the dethroned Queen and a
cabal of unscrupulous Europeans w ho
were Lent on obstructing the annexation
of Hawaii to the Lnited States. Mr. Ste
vens' course seems to have been necessa
ry if American supremacy was to be
maintained and disorder and bloodshed
prevented.
The proclamation of a protectorate
simplifies matters greatly. It is a notice
served n all the rest of the world that
the United States proposes to allow no
inte-rference from outside parties in its
dealings with Hawaii ; in announce
ment that American interee's are para
mount in the stronghold of the North'
Pacific, and that American rights will be
unflinchingly upheld. The raising of
the American flag at Honolulu should
definitely settle the annexation ques
tion. The emblem of American sover
eignty should not b-' lowered. Hanaii
is now under the protection of the flag of
the United States. That protection should
not be withdrawc No time should be
lost at Washington in framing legiala-
tion that wiil make Hawaii American
territory.
An Important Decision .
HrsTiKoi), Pa , Feb. 11. A case in
volving the rights of a telegraph company
tolcate ils line of telegraph wirrs on the
land ofa private owner was decided here
to day by Judge Fuirt, and it will stand a a
precedent for the countless oth?r si milar
cafes throughout the Siaie. Tortr Skinner,
of Huntingdon county, titioned for the
aj pointmriit of viewers to assess damages
caused by the Postal Tele'raph Cable com
pany locating in line on p-ibiic roads
through his firm. The viewers reported in
bis favor, filing the damages at tsT and
cw;9. 1 lie telegraph company excepted to
the vii-a-rrs' report, alleging irregularities in
the proceeding and appealed from the as-stj-ment
of da-oages as eiiBsive. To-day
the whiiie proceedings were set aside by
J jdjre Furet, and Siinner was d;rec'.ei to
pay the c jsi, a-nounting t-j 1 1 , it l.-iiig
ciearly shown that if any injury was done
to the lands tifSkinner it was- of so triflirg
a nature, and incansiJeraV.e aoi uit, as to
n.: warrant action at law, taelin being lo
cated along public ruads and at abrupt turns
of the highway, passing through lands of
Skinr.er only by erecting po'.ci which did
not in an; way interfere with the use of the
highway for the occupant of the land. The
tritumicg of the trees w as regarded as nec
essary to properly operate the telegraph
lines, and the damage to the owner was so
trilling as to not bear computation. A
number of land owners w ho contemplated
action against the tel graph company in
the event cf Skinner's success, ahaudoned all
claims in view of Judge Funst's decision.
A Protectorate Over Hawaii.
Sis Faiscifco, Feb. U. The steamship
Australia this ruoraine brought the news
frvra Honolulu that United States Minister
S'.evens had established a protectorate over
Hawaii pending and sul j-jct to the negotia
tions at Washington. Minister Stevens it
ued the following prcx lama! ion :
" At the request of the provisional govern
mei.t of the Hawaiian Islands I hereby, in
the name of the United States of America,
asu rue protection of the Hawaiian Islands
fur the protection of the life and prorerty,
and occupation of public buildings and Ha
waiian toil, so far as may be necessary for
the purp lees speciSed. b::t not interfering

the provisional government. This action ss
taken pending and subject to negotiations

TLe case of Hugh O'Donnel!, the first

Committee, was called for trial before Judge

Especial interest will be attached to this

the Homestead aSray, and to the fact that
in his case a line of defence other than tbe
alibi used in tbe two former trials will be
followed. O'Donnell was a leading figure
all through the strike, and for this reason
the identification of him will not be so
difficult aa the others. He will probably
show that he was on the bank as a peace
maker.

of g)oda and materials to tbe alms house by

terms as secretary of war and vice president;
Henry Clay, who lived there while secretary
of State in the administration of John Quin
cy Adams, and even President Polk, who
cccupied apartments in it while repairs were
beipg made to the executive mansion. Hia
rooms were the same as those occupied by

In the early part of President Lincoln's
administration Secretary of State William
H. Seward took the bouse. It was in a room
on the second floor where he lay, confined
to his bed from an accident while driving,
when his assassination was attempted by a
member of the band of conspirators So
which John Wilkes Booth, who sbot Presi
dent Lincoln, belonged. Mr. Seward was
stabbed several times, and bis son, Frederick
W. Seward, who came to hia assistance, to
day carries a scar on. his bead received from
the same knife. The government rented
the bouse after the war, and then for a num

aa the office of the commissary general of
subsistence tr several years, when it was
again vacated, and Mr. Blaine rented it. He
mads many alterations, especially in tbe

WaSBtiwiTox, Frb. 8. A radical change
in the tenaiou roller ia prorod- The
change will be backed by a majority of the
committee on appropriations, and will be
fought tooth and nail by the P.epiibliean
minority assisted by Representative Hol
maa. chairman of tbe committee, who is
ordinarily tbe most strenuous advocate in
tbe committee of a reduction of expendi
tures.
The proposed change b&s in view a con
sidtrabla reduction of the pension rolls, aud
of Ibe enormous amount now paid out for
pensions, by purging the list of names of
those now on it, by making more difficult
the procurement of a pension under the
laws ; and by turning over tbe whole pea
aion bureau to the war department. Among
the amendments which will be off-red U
the bill m one providing mat nereauer no
widow, who married a soldier of the bite
war shall receive a pension, where she mar
ried the soldier more than five years after
bis discharge, thus making it apply not only
to the war of the rebellion, but to Icdian
and all other wars.
Another amendment excludes from pen
sions under toe disability act, ail persons
not disabled from mannal labor and who
are in receipt of an income of more than
t0 a year.
On motion of Representative Mutchler, of
Pennsylvania, a new amendment was adopt
eel providing mat tbe rating of pensions
for the same class of pensioners for like dis
abilities shall be uniform, and that all pen
sions heretofore or hereafter granted in pur
suance of the dependent and disability act,
shall be rated upon the inability of the pen-
tioner to earn a living by manual 1 a'oor."
The object of this amendment is to correct
inequalities which have arisen in the ad
ministration of the laws.

Against the Economltea.
The commonwealth of Pennsylvania has
entered the legal battle for the possession of
the immense wealth of the Economite so
ciety. The matter is now in the hands of
Attorney General Hensel and is being prose
cuted by tbe best legal talent of the Alle
gheny and Beaver county bare. The pro
ceedings will be instituted at once and will
be far reaching in its results. If successful
it will involve tbe absolute surrender of all
the property of the Exmomite society to tbe
state. It will be a proceeding in escheat
based on established precedent of eminent
lead authority and an act of assembly for
bidding the conduct of societies where prin
ciples are at variance with public custom
and against the spirit of the constitution.
The archives have been searched and it is
claimed sufficient authority has been ob
lained to disrupt the celibate community
and turn its goods and chattels in toth estate
treasury.
The act of assembly making it unlawful
for churches and religious sects to bold
property in excess of a specified amount will
also be brought into the case and ued as
one of the strong points on tbe plaintiffs
side of the case. The proceedings have no
connection with the suit filed in the Beavtr
county courts to-day by tbe Fechls and
other Economites asking for the appoint
ment of a receiver to wind up the affairs of
the organization.
On the contrary, the two battles will be
fought on entirely different lines, the issues
being contrary, as the success of the state's
case would necessarily mean the failure of
tbe prosecution on behalf of the malcon
tents of the society.

New Road Law
The new road law which is now under
consideration by the Pennsylvania legisla
ture provides for the appointment of a county
superintendent of roads by the courtsof each
county. In addition each township is to
elect a road commissioner, and these road
commissioners, in conjunction With the
county superintendent of roads, are to con
stitute a board of road directors.
The boards of road di rectors shall meet
at such tiroes and places as may be necessary
and agreed npon, examine and investigate
the location and condition of the public
roads throughout tbeir several counties, di
vide tbe same into two classes to be known
as "highways" and "roads" taking into con
sideration the natural location of the roads
the general necessities of the people aud the
facilities for perfecting and keeping in repair
such highways and roads with a view to
the probable future Condition and require
ments for tbe accommodation of the public,
and shall also act as a board of viewers for
the location and vacation of highways and
roails under the provisions of existing laws
governing such matters."
These road commissoners with tbe town
ship auditors are to fix the tax levy. Tbese
taxes are supposed to be paid in cash, but it
ia provided "that any taxable person may
prior to tbe fifteenth day of April of each
year notify the rood supervisor of his district
or either of the road commissioners of hia
desire te work his rocd taxes in lieu of pay
ing cash lor the same in which case tbe super
visor shall give him notice of tbe lime, man
ner, and place of working such taxes which
matt be done under tbe supervisor and satis-
factory to tbe said supervisor timler penalty
of discbarge and forfeiture of the right to
work such taxes."
Tbe r ad commissioners have the privil
ege of appointing assistant supervisors. One
fourth of all the taxes levied are to be paid
into a general fund to be expended as the
board of road directors may direct. It is also
provided that a state appropriation be paid
to the road fund somewhat similar to the
present school appropriation.
