JVOL. LXVIIL. CAPITOL GOSSIP THE HAWAIIAN | BUSINESS TO BE BROUGHT BEFORE THE HOUSE. The Democrats of the House Come Out of the Week's Debate on the Wilson Jtitl With Flying Colors, WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.—"President Cleveland is an honest man, and I be- lieve he was sincere when he said he had referred the whole matter to Con- gress and would be glad to co-operate with it in the execution of any plan that was consistent with the honor, integrity and morality of the United States and for the best interests of Ha- waii.”? That was the comment made by chairman MeCreary of the House committee on Foreign Affairs on the Hawaiian correspondence laid before the House Saturday and the Senate to- day. Mr, McCreary said the commit- tee on Rules had promised him the right of way and that just as soon as the tariff bill was disposed of he pro- posed to eall up this Hawaiian busi- ness. That will make it likely to get before the House before it is taken up by the Senate as it is not expected that the investigation of the Senate com- mittee on Foreign Relations will be completed by the 29, when the House will pass the tariff bill. Much has been said concerning the abandonment by President Cleveland of his Hawaiian policy. 1 can state upon unquestioned authority that the President has not changed his opinion on the subject. On the contrary, he is now more strongly convinced than ever that it would be both wise snd just to restore the government which was wrongfully overthrown by a mis- use of the power of the United States in the hands of an intriguing Minister, and he believes that if Congress will divest the subject of sentiment and prejudice and place it on the high ground of plain right and wrong it will eventually arrive at the same con- clusion. That is just the point. Con- gress seems to be utterly unable to di- vest it of sentiment and prejudice, and for that reason, if for no other, is not likely to decide in favor of a restora- tion of the former government of Ha- wail. Secretary Carlisle has directed that the clerical force of the sixth Auditor's afternoon and immediately the tele- graph wires were made hot by these nt sational stories sent out about his hav- ing been sent for to aid the Secretary in preparing for an issue of bonds un- der the law of 1875. Your correspond- ent does not pretend to say by author- ity that Secretary Carlisle has or has not decided to issue bonds, but he does say most emphatjeally that whatever he has decided to do he has not asked either aid or advice from John Bher- man. mss A A AR A BOUND TO COME, EX-Governor Beaver Says the Waves of Business Depression Was Dae, Ex-Governor James A. Beaver, says: “To be candid, I don’t believe this depression in business is the result of Democratic policy. This wave of busi- nesss depression was coming, and it is cans that the Democrats got in in time to be caught by it. those periodical depressions that re- gularly affected the country, and noth- ing could have averted it. I don’t be- lieve the Democrats or their policy have anything to doit. It would have come anyhow, and if Harrison had worse." mmtece——— Hiuts to Correspondents, In promulgating esoteric cogitations or articulating superficial sentimental- ities and philosophical or psychologic- al observations, beware of piatitudin- ous ponderosity. Let your statements possess a clarified conciseness, pacted comprehensibleness, coalescent consistency and a concentrated cogen- cy. Eschew all conglomerations of flatulent garrulity, jejune babblement and asinine affectations. Let your ex- temporaneous descantings and unpre- meditated expatiations have intelligi- bility and veracious vivacity without rhodomontade or thrasonical bombast; sedulously avoid all polysyllabic pro- fundity, ysittaceous vacuity, ventrilo- quial verbosity and grandiloquent va- pidity; shun double entendres, pru- rient jocosity and pestiverous profani- ty, whether obscurent or apparent. In other words, talk plainly, sensi- bly and truthfully. son A AAAS A Sad Reminder of the Johnstown Comn~ Flood, Last Fiday Joseph Blyer was dig- office be at once reorganized. The re- organization includes the abolishment | of the examining division and the di- | vision of review and numerous chang- es in the other divisions, all in accord- | ance with the recommendations of the report of the Dockery committee to Congress. Some employees will have to be dropped and the Republicans in the office have an idea, probably a cor- rect one, that they will all be Repub- licans. Other things being equal Sec- retary Carlisle will give the Democrats the preference every time. The decision of the Democrats on the Ways and Means committee to report the income tax as a separate bill was obtained, like the decision in favor of the income tax itself, by a majority of only one vote. There is considerable talk among the Democrats about call- ing a Democratic caucus for the special purpose of deciding whether the bill shall be made a party measure, as the tariff’ bill is. There is no doubt about the income tax being favored by a large majority of the Democrats of the House, but there are still enough Dem- ocrats opposed to defeat it if the votes of all the Republicans could be count- ed upon, but if the Republicans follow Tom Reed, they will refuse to vote when an attempt is made to take up the bill, just as they did when the House was tour days in getting a quo- rum of Democrats together to take up the tariff bill. If they do that and the Democrats opposed to the bill also re- fuse to vote there will be no quorum and the bill cannot be taken up. The approval of the Democratic caucus would certainly make the measure more likely to pass, The House coinage committee has authorized a favorable report on chair- man Bland’s bill providing for the is- sue at once to meet the current needs of the Treasury of silver certificates for the seigniorage of silver bullion now on hand, amounting to more than $55,- 000,000. The bill will be reported after the tariff is disposed of. The Democrats of the House came out of the week's general debate on the Wilson tariff’ bill with flying colors; they met the arguments of the Repub- licans at every point, and the votes of the House upon the amendments which will be submitted by Democrat- ic members who are opposed to this or that schedule will meet the objections within the party. Theseamendments will be voted upon during the five minute debate which will go on until the time for taking the votes is reach- ed. The final result is a foregone con clusion. Becretary Carlisle is once more the vietim of the rumor mongers.

In a letter to the] New York Tribune Mr. Carnegie ex- presses many views on the Wilson bill, one of which is the following: “Isub-| mit that it is’ far better to obtain al moderate Democratic tariff bill, secur- | ing us stability and permanence satis- | tective bill passed by the Republican | continual political attack.

The coats were both lying on a table when the train, on which the bridal couple intended departing, suddenly whistled. Mr. Butler grabbed what he thought to be his cont and ran. They caught the train and came on to their home in Howard. The next day the bene- diet was feeling in his pocket for some papers when his hand fell on astrange wallet. Upon opening it it was found to contain $2700. Mr. Butler at once became excited, but discovered that he had some one else's coat on. He did not have a long time to wonder whose clothes, so rich with money, he was wearing for just then the down train pulled into Howard and Mr. Craig stepped off wearing the groom's coat. An exchange was made and now both are happy again, if tinction A Keeley Cure Bait, The Keeley institute company loca ted at Cuyahoga Falls has sued the company at Marysville, O., for $100,000 The Marysville company | i i had the right for Ohio and the local company paid §79,000 for the privilege of using the remedies ; also agreeing to pay a roysity of $20 for every patient, The local company now claims the contract was obtained by fraudu- lent ropresentations, The petition states that 40 out of the first 100 pa- tients lapsed again into the drink ha- bit.
