Resignation of Rev. D. K. McFar-
land. DID,.

The announcement that the able and much
esteemed and beloved Pastor of the First Pres
byterian Church of this city, Rev. D. K. Nc
Farland, DID, has again felt constrained in
consequence of continued i'll health, disabling
him from performing his duties as Pastor, to of
fer his resignation of his pastorate, will be re-
ceived with poignant and universal regret,
not only by members of his church, but by
the whole community irrespective of denomi-
national differences. On next Sunday a con-
gregational meeting will be held to act upon
his resignation. 1t seems strange dis
pensation of Providence that one so useful and
deserving in every respect should be disabled
by disease from rendering the sacred duties
to which his life has been so devoutly devoted.
His affiiction excites the profoundest and most
sincere sympathies of the whole community.
Could the most earnest prayers prevail to re-
store physical health, he would soon be well
man, in the vigor of robust health, for he has
the prays of all praying people who know of
and lament his bodily ailments, which so sore
ly atfiict him.
There is some consolation in the assurance
that
"Whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth and
scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.''

present from the surrounding country.
Senator Hill spoke in part as follows:
''The question Of Federal taxation Is the
dominant issue of the campaign. The
power TO levy taxes is despotic but neces-
saTy power IN every well-organlZed govern
ment The Democratic party believes in
strict construction of the Federal oDstitu-
tiOn; the Republican party believes in
loose construction of that instrument. The
Republican is willing to confer every pos
sible power upon the Government; the
Democrat is anxious to cnntine the Govern
ment TO strict constitutional limits.
Republicans say that taxes should be
levied for the necessary expenses or the
Government. There we agree with them.
We believe in a tariff for revenue with in
unnecessary revenue are unconstitutional.
L admit that the First Congress enacted a
revenue bill with a protection preamble.
Congress was coerced into the passage OF
The bill by the opportunities of selfish
pennsylvania. The succeeding Congress-
recognizing the danger of the precedent and
10 guard against future violations of the
Constitution of the same nature, enacted
an amendment providing that all powers
not expressly granted to the General Gov
ernment are reserved TO the States All
tariff bills passed since that time have been
passed as revenue bills without the recital
OF the protective Intent Let Republicans
be candid and throw off all Disguise; let
them pass Dill solely and expressly tor
protection.
"Ihe cry for protection Is growing evil.
Until recently 1t was always deemed a

friends to show single manufactured art-
Gle on which there was not duty enough

The Senator read the free list of the Nc
kinley bill and argued that the placing on
the free list of the articles mentioned did
not benefit the masses. The tariff on farm
products was a mockeTy. Democrats pro-

ANXIOUS FOR ANNEXATION.
An Ex-Agitator From Honolulu Interviewed
in Chicago

In Cnlca2o.
CHICAGO. Nov Am interview was bad
to-day with Volney V. Ashford, who is en-
route from Hon olulu to his old home In
Canada. Ashford was involved In an in
trigue with other agi'ators to overthrow
the present Government Of the Hawaiian
Islands. He was arrested, but was per-
mitted to escape, and reached San Fran
ciscs in sailing vessel. He said; Hawaii
ought to be annexed by the United States,
and might be but for the temerity Of some
OF the natives. who retain the old hatred OF
all things American. The vote of the pop
ulatlon of the island would be for aDnexa-
tion. L believe, but the island is not quite
ready for ii.
The tendency is that way. however. and
Hawaii Will eventually be annexed by some
great power. IL any Government but the
American is established there Hawaii will
be menace to the United States verita-
bic arsenal at her back door. The island is
in perpetual political stew. What with
Queen LiliukOlani fighting for the prerOga-
tive OF the Crown under the In iluencs OF an
ignorant American and the foreign element
on the island fighting for the abolition OF
tue dynasty, there is pretty broil all the
time. The republican idea is growing
steadily. and 1t is only a question of time
when the monarchy will be overthrown."
