Judze Gresham in the Cabinet.
In tendering this office to the most
prominent and the most honored of
the former Republicans who supported
his candidacy Mr. Cleveland has, says
the Philadelphia Democratic Times,
diplayed the boldness and originality
asa political leader which have been
the most marked features of his extra-
ordinary career. It is a veritable in-
spiration. Only a great politician could
have conceived it. Only a leader con-
_ fident in himself and confident of the
people’s trust would have dared carry
it out. I
It is natural that the old-time Demo-
crats, those who have through many
campaigns “borne the heat and bur-
den of the day,” should question the
justice of awarding this great honor to
a fresh recruit. Yet he repudiated the
excesses of the McKinley bill, and up-
on every important issue now before
the country he is as thorough a Demo-
crat, says the Times, as Grover Cleve-
land himself.
The political wisdom of recognizing
in this honorable way the element
which Judge Gresham represents, and
which did so much to secure Demo-
cratic ascendancy, ought to be obvious
to all. t will Strengthen the Democ-
racy for future victories in Indiana,
Illinois and Wisconsin, and increase
the confidence of the people every-
where in the breadth of its patriotism
and the e. vation of its purposes.
There will be no lack of ability, of
vigor, of good Sense, of honesty or of
genuine Ainericanism in the State De-
Fpartment with Walter Q. Gresham at
its head. -
Mr. Cleveland has started well.

Connecticut in the Cabinet.
The rumor is again set afloat that
Connecticut is to be honored by a Cab-
inet position by President-elect Cleve-
land, and wonderment gue‘s'ses who he
is to be. ,
The eastern papers and their Wash-
ington correspondents are free in their
assertions that exCongressman Carlos
French is to be the lucky man and that
the Navy Department. is to be his port-
folio. Now this may be correct guew-
ing. but the GAZETTE ventures the pre-
diction that if the chieftianship of the
Navy Department is to be offered to any
Connecticut man, that honored person-
age will first be Hon. E. C. Benedict
of Greenwich. Whether 3dr. Benedict
could. be induced to abandon his vast
business interests and accept a Cabi-
net position if tendered him, no one but
himself and Mr. Cleveland probably
know, but that the tender would
first be made him, in the event
of any Connecticut man being selected,
we have not a doubt. Nor would ,iMr
Cleveland be able to select a more able,
practical, or thoroughly competent
man for this especial service than is
Mi. Benedict. He would not have to
have it explained to him that vessels
were built hollow, as has been face-
tionsly charged against some previous
Secretaries of the Navy. Mr. Benedict
is a remarkably wide-awake, self-made
and successful .business man, fully
abreast of the times in which we live.
It is asserted that his politics are a good
deal after the Judge Gresham high
standard, and that he is more of a
Cleveland man than a thick and thin
Democrat.
It would also be quite in the line of
ancient and honorable precedent for
President Cleveland to place the Navy
portfolio in the hands of a citizen of
Connecticut. _
It is reported about town that Mr.
Benedict is to Visit Norwalk, where he
has many friends, on Saturday.
Pardon the Great Frenchman-
The shame of a convict’s garb should
not be inflicted upon Ferdinand De
Leaseps. The spectacle of De Lesseps
fl 9. prison cell at the age of eighty-
‘von would disgrace France. It may
well be that the man whose faith, cour-
' age and genious gave the Suez Canal
to mankind will not live to enter pris—~
a: doors. But living or dying, he
flould be relieved of the penalty which
the French courts have decreed against
him, says the New York Press.
'Whatevcr DeLcsseps’ errors have been
Bum eminently probable that in deceiv-
ing others he was himself deceived.
Without the training of a practical en-
‘neer he possessed a superabundance
enthusiasm and a faith in his own
powers of achievement which is par-
”donable when we remember his mag-
nificent success at Suez, won in the
face of manifold discouragements, and
in spite of the confident predictions of
high authorities that success was im-
possible. That De Lesseps was made
a tool by unscrupulous men, that he
underestimated the insuperable obsta-
cles at Panama, that he flung good
money after bad and persisted in the
endeavor to raise fresh funds in aid of
his colossal project long after clear
I ‘ headed engineers had pronounced the
Whole scheme impracticable. is an evi-
deuce of .celf delusion that amounts
to, fanaticism, but hardly, an evi-
dence of criminal guilt. It is well to
bear in mind also the fact that “Le
' WE E K L Y -' N0 E WALK e AzE r r E "
THE. lllllllllll llillv.‘
Grand Francais” is avery old man,
whose faculties of judgement and ex-
ecution have been obviously failing for
a long time. The De Lesseps who te-
naciOusly pursued the Panama chimera
when all reasonable hope had fled was
a different man from the De Lesseps
who startled the World by cutting a
highway for maritime commerce from
the Mediterranean to the Indian Ocean.
Great as the losses have been among
the French millions who invested their
savings in the Panama enterprise, it is
doubtful if the failure of the attempt
to sever the stubborn isthmus entailed
keener suffering on any one than on
Ferdinand de Lesseps. Utterly broken
in mind, body and reputation the man
whose fame was 'one of the glories of
France and whose work in Egypt
stamped him as a benefactor-to hu-
manity, lies at the mercy of his one-
mics. History records few ovorthraws
more signal or more pathetic. The
punishment he has already endured
should atone for his-errors. President
Carnot should iiitei‘pose his preroga-
tive and save - the most illustrious
Frenchman of the latter half of the
nineteenth Century from the igiioniiny
of imprisonment among felons. The
better sentiment of France and the e' -
lightened opinion of the whole civilized
world will applaud the pardon of Ferd:-
nand de Lesseps.

cerning his restoration to health. He
stated that it was perfectly wonderful
to see the change in his father’s health
since he took the well-known medicine,
Dr. Greene’s Nervura blood and nerve

And the Hon. Mr. Iiovejoy himself
was found overflowing with gratitude
toward this great remedy.
“I was very low indeed,” he said,
“I suffered from vertigo and heart dis-
ease. I had frequent attacks of faint-
ness and failure of heart action. These
attacks were sometimes so bad that it
was with great difficulty the heart
could be restored to its natural action.

Terms on Which Uncle Sam

. WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.—The treaty of
annexation concluded between Secretary
of State Foster and the Commissioners of
the Provisional Government of Hawaii,
which was transmitted to the Senate
Wednesday, has been made public, to-
gether with the message of the President.
The message states that it was deemed
more desirable to fully annex the islands
than to. establish a protectorate. The
President says the overthrow of the mon-
archy was not in any way promoted by
this Government; that the restoration of
Liliuohalani is undesirable it not im-
possible, and that unless actively sup-
ported by the United States would be ac-
companied by serious disaster and the
disorganization of all business interests.
~Ie says:
“It is essential that none of the other
great powers shall secure these islands.
Such a ‘l ossesnion would not consist with
our sahty and with the peace of the
world. 1’:o:.i;:t action upon this treaty
is very desirable. If it meets the approval
of the Senate peace and good order will
be secured to the islands under existing
laws until such time as Congress can pro-
vide by legislation a permanent form of
government for the islands.
“This legislation should be, and I do
not doubt will "be, not only just to the
' natives and all other residents and citi-
zens of the islands but should lie charac-
terized by great liberality and a high re-
gard to the rights of all the people and
of all the foreigners domiciled there.”
Secretary. Foster says that the provi-
sions of the treaty reserve to Congress the
determination of all questions affecting
the form of government of the annexed
territory, the citizenship and elective
franchise of the inhabitants and all ques-
tions relating to the economic and politi-
cal status of the islands.
In conclusion he says that pending the
negotiation he received assurances from
representatives of the leading powers of
the world in this city, and from our own
ministers abroad, convincing him that
the incorporation of the Hawaiian Isl-
ands into the Union will be regarded by
these powers with satisfaction or ready
acquiescence.
The treaty itself provides for the ces-
aion of all rights of sovereignty over the
islands, all public buildings and property
to the United States revenue from public
lands except such as are reserved for gov-
ernment purposes to be used exclusively
for the benefit of the people of the isl-
ands.
Until Congress provides otherwise, the
existing government andglaws of the H8.-
waiian islands are continued, subject to
the paramount authority of the United
States.
Aresident Commissioner is to be ap-
pointed, who shall have power to veto
any act of said government. Until Con-
gress enacts the necessary legislation ex-
isting commercial relations of the He-
waiian islands, both with the United
States and foreign governments, shall
continue. '
Further immigration of Chinese into
the islands is prohibited, and Chinese
now in the islands shall not be permit-
ted to come into the present territory of
the United States.
The public debt of the islands is as-
sumed by the United States to the extent
of $3,250,000. The United States agrees to
pay Queen Liliuokalani $20,000 a year
during life, and to Princess Kaioulani,
$150,000.
Provision is made for the exchange of
ratifications of the treaty at Honolulu as
soon as possible, on the part of the United
States, by the resident Commissioner
provided for in this treaty.
The sugar producers of Hawaii will not
participate on the ‘ bounty provided by
the McKinley law unless Congress should
extend it to the islands.
Accompanying the message and the
treaty is the correspondence upon the
subject between the two governments,
tables giving full details’ as to the area of
the territory proposed to be annexed, the
public debt, the public lands, the annual
allowances to and revenue of the late
royal household, and statistics as to the
population and revenues, commerce and
other economic matters relating to the
islands, altogether a bulk of several hun-
dred pages.
