THE SENATE AND HAWAII.
The Relations of the Two Countries
Consldered In Ixecntive Session.

The Relations OF the Two countries
Considered In Executive session.
WAsmNoroN, Dec s-llawaii and
the relations OF this country TO that
country occupied the senate for about
an hour in executive session yester-
day The subject came up informally.
There is really nothing before the
senate except the presidents message
on the Hawaiian question, and the
adoption of Senator Hours resolution
of inquiry was supposed 10 have taken
the matter entirely out of the senate
for the present The president had
not replied to the resoluti IN of in
quiry. and there was some interest
EXPRESSED TO know what course he
would take. or whether he would de-
cline on account of the general well
fare for the present TO make public
the instructions 20 Minister Willis.
The senate evidently did not expect
to receive a great deal more informa-
{ on on the subject than the president
has already transmitted. Senators
are anxious TO have the matter cleared
up. it was understood this was the
tone of the discussion in the executive
it of ult-finding, because Of the
failure of the president TO make plain
his course, than OF criticism OF what
had been done. Indeed. it was adj
mitted that so long as there was no
in formation as to what had actually
occurred, there was no other course
for critic SIN TO take.
Du ring the session Senator Palmer
took exception TO remarks made by
some OF the Republican senator's and
responded in a speech of some length
in defense of the presidents policy.
He was freely piled with questions,
all Of which he answered in a manner
satisfactory to the senate. No con
clusion, was, Of C urse, arrived at
for there was nothing 90 come To a
conclusion on, and the session Wa )
concluded after Mr. Palmer had iiu-
ished his remarks.

We are glad to hear of the progress

the armory of the Stuart Horse-Guard.
The building is much needed aud the
money for it was long ago appropriated.
IL will be erected on the Seventh-street

of our troops.
The cavalrymen not only give time and
work to their military duties, as the
others do. but whom parades are ordered
those who are not owners of horses have
TO put themselves to the expense of hiring
mounts. which makes this arm of the SER
vice moro costly to members than any
other arm. 1t Is therefore all the more
binding upon us to encourage these gal
liant and patriotic troopers. Let the
armory be built as quickly as possible.

State Banks of Issue-Hawaii.

As we have heretofore stated, we have
no objection to the chsrtering Of as many
banks as the widest State-bank advocate
could desire, provided these banks shall
not be permitted to put out circulating
notes. Nay. more: we would allow them
to issue notes Of circulation, provided
their hands shall be so tied as to prevent
them from issuing an amount OF such
notes two or three times as great as the
sum total of the pald-up capital OF the
SAID banks: for we are confident that
NOT one State bank of circulation
would ever come into existence If all such
banks were permitted to issue circulating
notes only upon condition that they
should have a dollar IN specie in Their
vaults for every dollar of paper promises
20 paw they might palm of upon the I'M
suspecting victims who. we are told.
would prefer the "promissory notes OF a
State bank 10 the greenbacks issued by
UNCLE SAN. And here let us remark That
n Democrat has as much right to dissent
from the teachings of the Chicago plat
form upon the question OF abohshing the
10 per cent. tax on State bank notes as TO
dissent from the teachings of that plat
form upon the silver question. Indeed,
we have little doubt that the President
elect is opposed 20 the repeal OF the law
taxing State-b bank notes; but as We have
no ouotable evidence 70 that effect we
will not say SO.
Confidence is plant of slow growth. "
II would take perhaps hundred years OF
favorable experience 10 enable the masses
10 place the same confidence in State bank
notes which they now place in greenbacks
and tbs notes Of the national banks. II
does not help the case 10 say that the peo-
ple al home will not receive the state
bank notes unless they are well secured.
How many persons would in each county
or city know whether the banks rignt al
their doors were trustworthy or not! But
even If the people OF each county and CITY
knew that their home banks were sound
such knowledge would not be possessed
by people outside the counties. We re-
peat to-day that il 10 just as necessary for
the banks 20 possess the confidence OF the
people as II Is for them 10 deserve the conf
dence of the people; and the former Is
what no State-b bank issues will ever do
when they get away from home.
II is said that the tax in question was
levied upon the Issues of State banks in
order TO enable the Federal Government TO
keep ITS head above water during the
war just so. Would not its repeal have
the effect of flooding the country with the
zane sort Of irredeemable paper which
that government was years ago obliged to
drive from the channels of trader

other side. which says that the telegraph,

How Far Is a Platform Binding?

In reply to an lnterrogatory addressed TO
us several days ago. we expressed the
opinion that q Democrat was not bound
by the platform Of his party adopted IN
national convention unless he had in some
way committed himself to the support of
that platform. We added that we claimed
the right 10 refuse 10 support the section
Of the Chicago platform which called for
the repeal Of the 10 per cent. tax on the
issues of State banks. We have now as high
authority as can be produced on any party
question for claiming that we were right IN
the opinion. Read what the leader OF the
Democratic party III the United States said
on that point in the United States Senate
last Monday.

The talk about the "70-cent dollar " is
silly. 1t means that the bullion in a silver
dollar ~ worth only 10 cents. Very well.
What is the paper IN a greenback or

thing. A thousand dollars in silver COINS
is worth intrinsically but. say, 500. But a
thousand-dollar greenback is worth in

The Hawaii question has come TO the a..

tho 10 per cent. tax on the issues of State
banks. II tells us what may result from
tampering with the national currency. IL
any complications shall arise which

eminent may be forced to sell few hun

there will be no longer even plausible

More he will be reckless defender OF the
old independent State-bank system who
shall find IT in his heart TO contend that
the notes Of the banks OF the State OF
Hawaii will, after the annexation OF that
State to the United States, DO better than
