The administration has never more dignified than during all of the senseless excitement and which followed the publication of Sec- retary Gresham's concerning Hawaii. out its programme Willis left Washington contrary made the slightest change in that programme or in its instructions to Minister Willis. It has from the first been convinced that its course would be fully endorsed It had mapped Minister notwith- before and standing ments it has jamerous not the unprejudiced public when the facts upon which action was taken became known and it has dedlined toallow pub- lie clamor to cause it to change its plans facts should be feeling is as to when these made public.

The have | been preparing the various schedules | ofthe new tarift bill have finished their work and the completed bill is | now being considered by the full Dem- | ocratic membership of the committee | on Ways and Means. While minor changes may be made in the] bill before it is made public it is prac-| tically finished and the Republican | members of the committee will proba- | bly be furnished with printed copies | of it within ten days, so thatit will be | ready to report to the House during | the first week of the The bill | has been approved by the President and his cabinet and by the executive commniittee of the National Demoerat- fe committee, and will not be submit ted to a caucus before being reported to the House. Iam not at liberty to give any details of the bill at this time but can say without violating confi- dence that it is from beginning to end a thoroughly Democratic measure. It fs the present intention of the party leaders to push the bill through the House before the Christmas recess. It is probable that the National Democratic committee will open head- quarters in Washington in time to take a more active part in the prelimi- nary work of the Congressional cam- paign of next year than it has been customary for the National committee to take. It is not intended that it shall in any sense supercede the Cone gressional campaign committee, but that it shall act in conjunction there- with. In all of the departmental annual reports which have been completed there is one noticeable feature that is essentially Democratic—recommenda- tions looking towards economy in pub- lic expenditures. Wherever reduc- tions are possible under existing laws they will be made, but it will take time to undo the results of a long se- ries of extravagant Republican legisla- tion, but it will be done, and at the earliest possible moment, President Cleveland was never ap- parently in better health than at this time.
