President Dole's compliments to

It would not be quite so bad if the
democrats in congiess knew what they
wanted to do and had the courage to do
it. _j __
If pledges of demociatic senators can
be relied upon the Cleveland tariff bill
can never pass the senate in its present
shape. _ _ _
Thebe is but one American Hawaiian
policy, and that is not the one that Mr.
Cleveland was compelled to reluctantly
abandon._^_
An exchange says “the democratic
party it on the road to ruin.” It would
seem that it had already arrived, and
that It had dragged the country along
with it.
Ho man is so blind as he that refutes
to see. That is the kind of blindness
Mr. Cleveland is exhibiting in insisting
that congress shall carry out his policy
of restoring queen Lil.
Bo it was by mistake that Secretary
Morton’s speeches were dead-headed
through the malls as official business.
There seems to have been several mis
takes connected with Mr. Morton’s offi
cial life. ' _
, The democrats in congress decided to
separate the Income tax from the Cleve
land tariff bill because of their fear that
both would be defeated If they did not.
Those having the welfare of the country
at heart expect both to be defeated any
f, way. ._
A tariff that would swipe the stuffing
out of Yourtown and put a high duty
on everything turned out in Mytown
represents the views of many democrats
and is about as near to practical com
mon sense as the average democratic
congressman ever gets,
Liliuokalani is now open to Ameri
can dime museum engagements. She
guarantees to reproduce the cannibalis
. tio stare, at every performance, which
was on her face when she informed
Minister Willis of her Intention to be
r head the members of the provisional
' government.
Democrats appear to have expected
that "the tolling millions” all over the
. " ‘ land would arise and “call them bles
sed" for free wool, free pig iron and free
coal and "taxed sugar.” But why this
silence among the tollers? Has any
body heard the shout?'Will they hear
|| It? That is the rub.

them by the Cleveland tariff bill, but
they lack the moral courage to publicly

- “Tan figures of the cabin passengers

Indicate that foreigners patronised the
1? World’s fair to an appreciable extent,"

total number landed was 128,000, and out
of these it is estimated 100,000 were re
turning Americans the remainder is de
V, '. cldedly beggarly."
. Nearly every democratic congress
' ' man of prominence who has spoken in
- favor of the Cleveland tariff bill has
. admitted that the bill would reduce
v wages in this country and that it is in
tended to do that very thing. If they
^ bad only been as frank before the last
presidential election the countrv would
have escaped much misery.
Democrats were terribly anxious two
years ago to havo Minister Egan re*
called because be was “non persona
grata." Well, how is it with Minister
Willis, at Hawaii? Is it likely that the
conspirator against the legalized govern
ment is held in high favor .there? Call
him home. The quicker the better. He
.ought to have sense enough to take pas
sage on the first ship that sails.
Tun gall of the few democrats who
have span oat find theories on the bene
fits that are concealed in the Cleveland
tariff bill, while ignoring the deplorable
practical condition to which the country
has been brought by even the prospect
w-- of such a bill becoming a law, has never
been equalled on the floor of the house.
It was like a man telling a lot of people

eternal summer, and was quite as con

DEMOCRATIC PRATER.
Tlie following prayer was recently
made at a democratic convention out
west. We publish it by request:
Our almighty and all-powerful Cleve
land, who art in Washington when not
fishing; thou who art the father of Ruth
and Ruth’s sister, and of Marin Ualpin’s
boy, Oscar, and the godfather of the
democratic party, (its father wouldn't
own it if ho were here). We hail thy
name as the great political prophet of
the century. We bow down before thee
in humble political obedience. When
thou gayest go, we go; when thou sayest
come, we come. We have no desire but
to serve thee. If thou gayest black is
white, we will swear to It and lick the
cverlastin’stuffin' out of the man that
disputes it. When thou takest snuff we
will sneeze; when thou sayest tree silver
we will echo thy words; when thou gay
est gpld, then gold It is. We are all
democrats after the Improved modern
type. Our business is to vote the ticket
and vote 'er straight. What is it to us
whether we have free silver or not? We
are but dogs that eat the crumbs that
fall from our master’s table. When the
crumbs fall we wag our tails; when they
don't fall we stand and wait until they
do. This is democracy. This is the
kind of democracy that elected thee,
our great and almighty Cleveland. Oh,
most adored master, we love thee for
what thou hast not done for us. We
love thee because thou art Cleveland.
We humbly surrender ourselves to thee.
Do with us as thou wilt. Though wheat
is but 40c a bushel, we love thee; though
cotton is low, we love the; though busi
ness is dull we love thee; thousands,
millions, are out of employment, still
we love thee; though our children are
clothed in rags, we love thee; though
our wife, the dear companion of our
i bosom, is scantily dressed and looks so
shabby she cannot go to church, we love
thee; though we are sinking deeper into
debt. and poverty is knocking at the
door and hunger is staring us in the face
we love thee still. This shows'our great
faith and love for thee. Our wives and
children are willing to sacrifice, even as
thr Hindoo mother sacrifices..her off
spring by throwing it^under the crushing
wheels of the Juggernaut. Oh, mighty
Cleveland, words cannot express our
love for thee. We love our party too.
What care we abbut the many promises
made? We know it promised free sil
ver, but we lied when we said it. We
thought that we had some manhood
about us but we aint. We have ho in
dependence. Thou, oh, mighty Cleve
land, hast all the manhood and inde
pendence in the party. We are fools,
liars, lickspittles, mudsills. We haye no
business to want anything or to say any
thing. Last year we favored free silver,
and now we have to oppose it. We
favored it then because we thought it
was right. We oppose it now, most
adored master, because thou tellest us
to. Aint we a honey of of the first
water? Did ever dog serve his master
more faithfully? Did ever dog get less
for it? Oh, mighty master, we are ever
ready to serve thee and party. All the
pay we ask is to be patted on the back
by some local politician and called a
good democrat. We aint got any sense
We don’t want any, only enough to vote
the ticket. It don’t take any sense to
be a good democrat. What a joyful
thought I We don’t have to worry. Our
work is all mapped out for us. All that
is expected is to do what we are told to
do. We thank thee, oh Cleveland, that
we ate democrats. We thank thee for
the panic. We thank thee for the idle
men and women in the land. We thank
thee for low prices. We thank thee for
the banka that have busted and the
thousands of business failures since thou
hast come into^iower. We thank thee
for the hard times. We thank thee tor
the clothes our wife needs and can’t get.
We thank thee for what thou bast done
for the banker and what thou hast not
done for the people. We thank thee for
all these things because it is our duty as
good democrats to do so. It may be
against the grain, but we will take our
medicine. We will work our wives to
death, starve out children, sacrifice our
homes, crucify liberty, and kill property,
but will never go back on our dear old
party, and on thee.our most adored
Cleveland. Thqu art more account than
all of us put together. Thou knowest
more than the South and the West. Call
ns fools; spit in our faces, wipe your
feet on us, we will love thee all the
more. And now, our great political
father, we leave us in thy care. Do with
us as thou wilt. Pitch silver into the
middle of the nelt century; give more
privileges to the national banks; foster
trusts; bribe congressmen with patron
age; fish whenever thou carest to, and
we will indorse everything thou doest,
carry Cleveland roosters, campaign
torches, and forever sing thy piaise.
Amen t
. The tbe democratic policy of revenue
only has been turned into appeal “ob,
for a revenue.”
——--—
In a letter to W. S. Griffith, of Tur
ner, Senator Mandereon, in speaking of
tbe Wilson bill, says: “It is a measure
that I believe is fraught with much
mischief to the best interests of tbe
country and calculated particularly to
injure the agricultural west. I cer
tainly propose to do everything in my
power to defeat it, and expect to vote
for an amendment which shall retain
the present duty on wool.”
