The attempt of Senator Frye to magnify the Ut#4a royalist eruption near Honolulu into a “revolution" nnd to get tbo soikito of tho United States to expires indignation ovnr It and to bestow its unx-.illori-fW sympathy upon the “young republic” Is a Oititle ntoro “bouffe” than the “uprising" ltsedf, in which the only serious Imchlent was the unfortunate killing of Mr. Oantor, says the New York T.mes. There Is nothing (surprising In the Pic* that such a disturbsnoe rtiou'd Uoour, and iho "young ertpubllo." must export sim itar ones occastonilly.

They barteseit up a government by "the few" nnd undiirtttkeii to hold "the many” down, Inrinding the bulk of the re) tlv«* and n lirge force of -lapanese, Chinese nnd VontugiUMo “rontturt ki- horers.” They say they nan do It with out heftp and govern the people much heifer .than they could govern them selves. A* to the lifter proposition, there Is not much doubt, but when a people Is Incapable of gowerolng Itself and need* to be nil id by a small class of superior persons, it affords no ma terial far a “republloin form of govetn- n»edt," and no repuhllo con take such s peop'e into Its system wltbcut aban doning Its principle.

The young man who is emperor of China perhaps knows less of the world than the average school boy of ten years. Raised la the seclusion of a palace and surrounded from his youth up by sycophants who pr-(tended that he mis something more than human— almost a god—he has had no opportu nity to learn ithe Itruith with remind to litnwlf, his empire, or the rest of the world. Men, as he know them, were imnimol >«, i!„.r fcers before him, pretending ithat he wtas too great aud too sacred for them to look upon; but the rapid and divisive ffaHaiits of his armiiM and navy by the Japanese seem to have brought even to utils sivltul.il and deceived young man knawtelge of the truth of the SJtiUitiuo ill which be anil his empire now find themselves. He know* that the general* in whom he has been ituught to pluCe entire re liance are not goneutals at all, but cow ards and thieves, Incapable of execut ing the slmpleM mfUihry operation, and r«*p.«is'ble, 'thriHigh their pecula tions, for the wrutthed o>ml.iion of the army. He knows that though his peo ple have 'been taxed to furnish the nec- stry money, his soldiers are without .inns, without ivoihiiig. wtthaut food, and are nothing titnre than an unor- ganlzed ant! Itolplits* molt. Ho knows that his ministers, the men by whom ho has been surrounded, who are re- spons ble for Ills lgnotunoe nnd for the false ivincitptlon ho has had of his power and himself, are no batter than hi* generals; tout duy, too, have used their places and Hhelr control over him to rob' the government of hundreds df millions of ddlVtre, tbit they might be come enormously rlih, wlr.lo all tho doiurtmenta of Ithe pjareroment were starved into a, sttuto of atrophy. Hiving come to this knowledge, tho kuwt ntiws from China says the em peror his ordered ithe execution of gco- eraita, admiriUs and mlnlstere—of all the persons r.wpttuillil' fbr 'the harrif de comlitloti In wfUob Chinn noiw finds herself. lie has nlso issued nn edict, a translation of which Is ns follows: When we first took charge of the affaire of the empire It was our Inten tion to Introduce many reforms. Sud denly nnd unexpectedly the Japanese have broken the peace, taken away our Ooruui dMDondency o»»d token posses- spun of tlhe borders of our omptre. We tuave sent our generals upon Wbctm we depended, with their artnlee, to punish the enemies of peace ur.J drive them uwav. but wo never Intend ed to distort) the peace of the Japainwe empire and this our ancestors and aK foreign muttons will know. Little did we c meet Shat our generals were In competent. and In many cases utstruat- vrorthv. and that aotdlors were Insub ordinate and 11-supplied with the arms udmuate. and for Which large sums of money were appropriated by us to sup ply them with, and tt Is for these rea sons that the Japanese have gained victory after victory and place after place, which mw* us the greatest concern and makts our ancestors rest less In 'their honored graves. "All this aflltottou and trouble Is be cause we are unworthy and have em ployed unfit men. If, howetvr, the worst comes and the enemy secure our sacred altars, then there remain* nothing tor us hut to perish at the altar of our fathom and he gathered home to them, fighting to the last os thev dJd before us. for our country and our honor. When that time comes may you reverently escort the em press do waiter westward and elect a worthy man to be your emperor, look after the sacred altar* of our ancestors, rovlvw thought and wipe out their ter rible disgrace.” There la swutithing very pathetic In this. Tho young man shows some of ithe spirit with which the jutr.otlo ruler of a great nation should be r.nl- mtitaL Ait the suite time, his odlat to the utterance of a tn.ui who to !u de spair. l’ertaaps he Hills into dntpalr too quickly; Is too ready to die and nut ready enough to make a manly ef fort to retrieve the fortume of bis country. But possibly he feel* that corruption has <lme Its work, and that no effort mu now save Oh'pa. from most humiliating defeat. If he ehouid survive the iwur, however, it to possi ble dm fils awukonlngof the Chinese emperor will bring reforms that will develop she stroi*t:h of toe ctuptre, even as tost of Japan has been devel oped. and make It ode of the greatest powers of the world. An emperor who txis • tvuUsallon of the weakness of bto goveromunt, and of toe fact that it and Its ruler are objects of ridicule to the world. Instead of tho highest ob jects of napeot and admiration, ss ho had been tsught to believe they *w*. will bo something entirely: now to China. He can mslly jaccompish great resuits, whereas he was tdwe- htatov helpless On do auvttoins so long as he wus too sacred dor men to look upon him and .was kept in oouqsrte Ig norance, not only of the condition of his own country, but of tho rihttJvo im- pjrtnnce of otlhor counitr.es. A REMARKABLE GAJR UFJl. Robert E.

'Iho Harrisburg Telegraph, a strong Rqpublicuu' paper, in Its ed itorial article commenting on bto oatver as governor, said: “You made an hon est, fearless chief executive of this greut atafe of Pennsylvania. You were not afraid to do your duty, and you did It.

Mr. James Bryce, who to now $>md- (li'tat of the board of trade In life Brit ish cabluut, some years ago ere aud al to «t a It entry s-utatlon by tbo publi cation of bto “Amcrtcto Common wealth." No paltlcnl essay, for tbait Is really artntt Mr. Bryvo's book to, pul>- llshnl during retvat y*ure, bas recutvol more f ivorUdo criticism. I't v ia oon- cedcd oo every bind that Mr. Bryce ifed given the world iho bin*, umlys s of American px.tleul lusilmhons, showing hlmarif oapalile of laying aside n vtlotvil pr Jivllcia, or Dearly so, aud also oipibe of appreciating toe value of institution* foreign to his own country, and in some rwpects antago nistic to the institution* prevailing thore. Recently, a new edition of Ibis work ha* boon pub! shed, and Mr. Bryce takes advantage of the opportunity to discuss a phase of oar shnstitm which he had almost culirely mglec' d—the negro proU om. We have not seto this part of bto work, but find in on- of our exdhangre toe conclusions reached by him briefly skated. Mr. Bryco minimises the negroprob- 1*-in. pe.nt.ng out thatithe rvkatlve num ber of negroes It steadily sod raRiiLy decreasing; dun toe mass at them to drift.ng toward toe »>uth Atlantic and Go f coast, and t'auit toey nnuK lieoomo a smaller and Miullor feature in car till! ties. Stated briefly, 1)1 prophaoles ns to the future of toe negro are as follows: 1. The negro, will stay In North America. •J. He will stay locality intermixed with the white papulation. 3. He will ray socially distinct, tn ■Hen element unahnoibed nnd tomb- ■orbs Ido. Tt will be torn that this English * latest/fun takes toe view at this ques tion that to held by toe more carisrT- atlve of our own thinker*. He’s not siarmed tor toe fuuuv of tola secuon, th ough be to frank In *uyiog ton ."but for this one difficulty"—tbo preseor • of the negro-toe iSomh tnhfffe wil be thought to be 4be most promising part of toe Union; that pan whose advnnce to likuty to be swiftest, utxl whoso prosper Ay will be not toe leant secure. .‘•But for this one difficulty!" in mak ing this reservation, Mr. Bryce admits the importance of the negro prbkro. while agreeing that though It will re main unsnarled, tt wtD ritaadlly grow less tn ’.mportanec. Id oommrntlDg upon tos view* of Mr. Bryce, the Bhltadelpbla Bulletin, * R.- pubican newspaper, draws toe Infer ence hat in the opinion at this crest English writer, toe majority of c,grots are going “to s ek into deeper lgoo- ,-anoe and more he^tero cotadltlocs gen- orally.” Mr. Bryce says nothing, as We understand It, to Justify this Infer ence, beyond what -we have quoted; that to. that toe negro will drift to wards the extreme Hoiat.h and thus be come sopor.atcvl iu a large digroe from the -white people. It floBows tint In the opinion of this R-umbllcan paper, the negroes tare saved from “deeper ig norance and more helpless conditions Vonerilily,” only beoanse they are hold up by association with the Southern white people; and yet the Bulletin, along with Its Republican contempora ries, Is always quick to read Southern white people severe lessons on the cru elty and lnjustlco with which they treat their negro neighbors. A CANDIDATE AT 82. Somo people may remember that some years ago old man Pb!lota* Saw yer was a member of toe Unlfcri States senate. He did not bsve much Influ ence as a member and was never un derstood -to represent anything In tho upper house exo.pt ooe of the big for- turn-a made In the lumber bus'ncm by' a tear person* In the Northwest. Ho * out of office ss the result of tho political revolution In Wisconsin aor tal years ago, and since toon nobody out of tho immediate neighborhood of bto home has hoard of him. In fact. It was generally understood before he went out of office tint most of (Us -large fortune had been lost, utul 1 #va s conse quently aioramod that his importance ss a politician and officeholder would also promptly disappear. S'ow, how ever, the Republican* -have Spain ac quired a majority In the Wlsootwln leg islature and Mr. Sawyer emerges from his tosenrity to announce tout ho .’■ a candidate for toe United Huu-a senate. It Is somctblog ranarkabk) -that a man whose long Ufa baa been spent In bus iness pursuits Should ueur tho end of it become absorbed in politics, but this It not toe marit remarMatfle feature of Mr. Sawyer’s esse, for he Is doing something never done liy any paUtlaian before him. In that he to offering for a term In too senate which wttl not be gin nntll he has entered upon bis 82>1 year. Mr. Merrill of Vermont was elected the last -time - when 80 y.Mr* old. but elected to succeed himself, tn con tinuation of a service In toe sonata that had already extend'd over thirty years. It to not at all probable that Mr. Sawyer wlUJbe mcctMiful In hto candidacy, but thill ho Is a candidate under -the ctroamstanoes Is a striking Clnstratlon of the infatuation with poll- ttos by which many ns>n are affected.
