Initantly duuemlnated to th press of the whole country Who I Ho For twelve ycari twelve long year for the vanquished twelve nhort years for tho vic ¬ tor n desultory Irregular Intermittent nnd factional battle has been going on In the politics of this town between tim Repub lens of the Union League Club THOMAS COLLIEK ILATT It began lon I 1883 It has been carried Into three National Republican Conventions It ha f been fought out In eleven State Conven- tions ¬ and a the record shows the re- sult ¬ of It has usually been that Brother PLATT has come out ahead and has kept o control of both theruddorand the pilot box The conditions of this contest have been much that the wonder Is that with such unequal odds such a battle should have con- tinued ¬ BO long On the ono side has been the Union League Club a social and quasi I political organization representing the sta- bility responsibility publlosplrlt and vested wealth of the Republican party of this town r On tim other side has been tho active but isolated PLATT a citizen and voterofaziother- county distant from New York supported f by some Republican district leaders and by t personal friends whose loyalty has been t sincere and unwavering Despite tho apparent Inequality of the f conditions Mr PLAT has almost uniformly- been the victor in tho contest a circum- stance creditable t his character and gen- eralship ¬ A few weeks ago he was success- ful ¬ I in securing the election of the Hon EDWARD LAUTEHDAcn as Chairman of the Republican County Committee over the combined forces of all tho Republican op- positions ¬ against his leadership backed to t by alleged pledges of support from tho STROO municipal administration- The trouble with the Union League or i nntlPLATT Republicans of ths town has Constantly been the fact though rich In pecuniary resources intrenched from personal attack by business and social con ¬ nections and ready and able at al times t force the fighting against common enemy the Man from Tioga they have lacked the power of political concentration They have had no leader to tke without overtly seeking it the prntcl direction of their puissant but fore But now since February came in Mr PLATTS foes have found tho man they re- quired a a necessity of their campaign They have found the man they were seek- ing ¬ or perhaps he has come to them As THE 8m has heretofore reported the De- partment ¬ of Public Works becomes tho ral- lying ¬ point of tho strongest antlPLATT com ¬ bination yet made In this town Some cnn wlriK hand some busy brain some forceful i b mind somu resentful spirit alert t the possibilities of opportunism has brought into the peculiar complication of Republi- can ¬ city politics all the elements of hostil- ity ¬ to Mr PLATT and yet there can be no i certainty cf the final result Who Is this unknown political genius f Why in tho hour of Republican triumph should he cross PLATTS successful path way a the recognized Republican leer and take the front in arraying one faction of that party against the other f Clevelands Responsibility- The latest news from Hawaii which we published yesterday gave a full account of the royalist conspiracy which had it not been broken up on the very eve of execu ¬ tion might have proved successful and in any event would through the Intlde use of dynamite have caused an slaugh- ter ¬ of men women and children in Hono ¬ lulu A review of the evidence produced a before the court martial makes it plain enough that the American Cuckoos SEWARD and GULICK wore among the ringleaders of the plot The man SEWARD seems- to havo been conspicuous In arranging for the lauding and distribution of the guns pistols and dynamite bombs pro cured from San Francisco while GULICK acted as the statesman for tho gang and drafted the monarchical Constitution which wns to be proclaimed and the commissions for Cabinet officers astutely reserving for himsel tliu post of Finance Minister In w such evidence tho court martial had no alternative but to condemn these men to death ali should the sentence bo mitigated by President DOLE there Is rea- son ¬ to tar that the act may be attributed t f by tho excited natives t weakness rather than to clemency J American sojourners in Paris had ben found guilty of plotting against the republic lu tho Interest of BOURBOK or ItoHAIAllTC pretenders we should expect them to Iwi promptly shot How does the ese of GULICK and SEWARD differ from the npposcd case of Americans conspiring against tho French republic P It does differ thanks to tho shameful conduct of Mr c CLEVELAND and his Secretary State i and the very difference renders it the more needful to make an example of the offend- ers ¬ f A rightful sense of selfrespect and V the duty of hilfpreservatlon may constrain President DULY to notify CLEVELAND and GREBlf AM by a stern act of justice that these wretched men who have acted on their covert Instigation and relied upon their moral support cannot escape the punish- ment ¬ of crime Every link In the chain of evidence brought out by the court martial brings home t to GRoVER CLEVELAND the re- sponsibility ¬ for the guilt which has sub- jected ¬ his dupes and tools t the death penalty Who procured In San Francisco the weapons and dynamite bombs Intende for the slaughter of the a friendly Government P It was WIEDKMANN one of those emissaries of Mrs DOMINIS who vero addressedl last August by Mr CLEVELAND as Commissioners and to whom ho sent an effusive letter regretting that I health prevented him from keep- ing ¬ > promise to receive them and t I deploring thu failure of his own plans 01 their behalf It was after that r visit t < Washington In the course uf I which tin Commissioners I saw Secretary GitisiAM tli WlKjihMAXN took incaiurti t nrovldo the royalist conspirators with munitions of war Another fact which justified the Rrwaltaa rebels counting on L U Uh j r i the sympathies of Mr CLEVELAND waa the effort made to doter Americans residing In Honolulu from continuing to support the established republican Government In this direction our Executive went further than even the representAtive of Great Britain In Hawaii I appears that when the Hawaiian newspapers published tho Instructions given- to Admiral BEARDBLEE that no protection should bo given t Americans who either op- posed ¬ or mpported the republican regime 1 number of Englishmen at once applied to Mr HAWKS tho representative of their country to know whether ho Intended t tko a similar course Mr HAWKS replied on the contrary ho deemed It In tho highest degree proper for all Kngllnh resi- dents ¬ to do everything In their power to up- hold ¬ In the Interest of law and order tho established Government By so doing ho aded they would violate no international would forfeit none of their rights M English citizens Who I can contrast this declaration as sound In law as It Is upright in spirit with tho Instructions given to Ad ¬ miral BBARDSLEE and not recognize tho dishonest Intention of our Executive to rob the Hawaiian Government of tho support which It deserves from American residents- to whom It gives hospitality I SEWARD and GULICK tho American rnleller In tho royalist plot havo any II this country the latter should not blame tho Hawaiian Government for discharging tho Imperative duty of self protection They should put the blame where it belongs namely on the head of our own Executive I the misguided agents of- a plot artfully encouraged I not actually hatched at Washington are hanged In Honolulu Mr CLEVELAND will b respon- sible ¬ for their doom The New Slavery The bill for the establishment of the in- stitution ¬ of slBver in tho State of New York which been introduced Into the Assembly by tho Hon DANFOUTH E Aiss- WOUTH of Oswego county Is under tho guise of a Labor bill By the terms of it It applies only t corporations and their em- ployees ¬ but the principle of It maybe uiado applicable to any industry which workers- are hired and wages are paid The first section of the AlNswoRTn hi provides that every corporation doing ¬ ness in this State shall enter Into a written contract covering a definite period of time with every person employed by it In which contract the kind of service the amount of wages the hours of Ibr and the manner in which service performed shall be prescribed The second section of the bill provides that this contract shall not b broken or terminated by either party to unless that party gives at leastthree months notice In advance of its termination Ser- vice of such notice shall be made in the same manner as 1 summons is required t b served t commence an action in tho Su- preme ¬ Court of this State The first sentence of the third section of the bill is In these words BEo 8 Any odlcor ot corporation or other person tmployino a pnnlo ofralo and every em- ployee who nn any an for a corporation n- tioJa on of the provisions of the first section of thI at hal b

for each every offence This measure when enacted shall take effect July 1 1805 The terms of the AraswortTH bill are in violation both of the freedom of labor and the rights of corporations I l Is a bill for the establishment of Is slaverylmted I an interference with lbrtes of the parties with which It proposes to deal and would leave neither of them free to act a his Interests or necessities might at any time prescribe The wage earners a well a the wage payers ought to remonstrato against Its passage The provision of section 8 that ever employee who renders any service for a corporation outside of the contract Ihal b guilty of a misdemeanor must b as objectionable to the laborer as the provision that any officer violating the terms of tho act shall b like guilty must b- et the employer The AINSWORTH bill is in every way ob- noxious ¬ t the rights and interests of em ¬ ployer and employed I they dcslro to contract with each other they have now full power so t do They want no meddlesome high mightiness t toll them that they must hereafter do business only on the con ¬ tract system with misdemeanors and pen- alties ¬ attached- We are opposed to the establishment of tho abominable insttutlol of slavery in any shape or or upon any pretence whatsoever or under any legal disguise in tho State of New York or in any other State Both labor and capital must be protected In

tho Do- minion ¬ whereat a leading object for tho United States was telegraphic connection with Hono ¬ luu with n possible extension of time line there- after ¬ to Japan Four years ago In tho Fiftyfirst Congress the Senate by a very decided vote even moro striking thnn this one recently taken paused a measure for securing a large guarantee or sub nlily to n company or a projected company which Ilroposl110 construct n cable to Hawaii Thu was practically sufllclcnt to cover the estimated expense of tho whole undertak- ing ¬ For this purpose a provision was Inserted In tome of the regular annual appropriation bills to pay thl company SoOOOO a year to bo con- tinual ¬ during llfteen years The bil recently passed by tho Senate assumed time total cost constructing time cable would ho covered by 3iono000 of u lilch 5iOO Out Is furnished forthwith It will bo seen therefore that the old proposition of four years ago was really that of lurnlblilng the entire amount needed In that respect rcsumbllng the present proposition The essentlnl point of difference Is that In tho latter case tho Uorcrnmcnt construct tho cubic by contract nnd In time company was to lay it H is worth noting that nt that former session a resolution adopted by the Senate Immediately on convening instructed the Committee on For- eign ¬ Kelntloim inquire Into the advisability of authorizing a survey ofa route to tho Hawaiian Islands thence via Samoa and Now Zealand to Australia1 Probably that route was eugLCstcil on account of tho great Interest taken In bamoa- ut that time by our iovcrmucut through the determination to prevent Its subjugation by European powers Sir lilnlnc however pointed out that while tho State Department felt a deep Interest In comoletnl a cable between the Lnlted East via Hawaii nnd while Germany nnd Great Britain had oven made advances for concurrent action toward IIlnl a cable to samoa via Honolulu Japan undoubtedly welcome a direct line to tho United SttfteR anti that such a lint might also receive encouragement from China However It was recognled by Mr Blalno that tho first timing to be done was to have a line between Ha < wall and tho United states promptly con- structed ¬ by American effort and with lie sanc- tion ¬ of Government jmoresfc in 1110 new project increased anti a bill was introduced to Incorporate the 1acltlc Cablo Company But before action was taken on that an amendment for u similar purpose H as proposed to the Diplomatic anti CoosularAppro ¬ priation bill Mr Kdmunds suggested a secret MMion on time subject amid ono of four hours was In tact held lho result was the provision already referred to appropriating for telo graphic communication for n period of not less than fourteen years n sum not SOUOU for each year In and exccelnl such communication shall be so In operation and during which such engagements shall be so In course of execution not exceeding twenty years anti tho total sums paid under this author- ity ¬ ehnlnot exceed SlidOOOOO was Icioptedln open session by time remarkable vote yeas to Ua nays The house having declined to concur In It a confer- ence ¬ committee agreed to substitute for the words not exceeding e what follows provisions that the lfllelttel should nave the right to purchas at any tine within fifteen years on paying the actual cost nnd tire per cent annual Interest and also that Hawaii should pity the company for llfteen II1ISnl equal onethird of that which wns by the United States Although the House finally disapproved this report of the conference committee It will bo seen that even four years ago the project of 1 cablo to Hawaii was as fully under considera ¬ tion as It is now And yet at that time Hawaii Was tl n monarchy and had made no over ¬ tures annexation to our country The project as then entertained was based on tho general view of time advisability of time cable of time need of Inclclll our hold upon tho Piclflu anti no manifest destiny of Hawaii hardly less clear then than now Both branches of that same Congress agreed to provide for a preliminary suney of a route for the cable at thn expense of time United States SJ3UUO being appinprlnted

Boumlings linvlng been taken at alternate intervals of ten nnd two miles arid that a practicable route hind been found for the cable If we look simply nt the question whether this lino will pay for
