LIT a Breakdown. or a Trick 2

How did it happen that the steamship

the very day on which Mr.. CLEvELAED's
intentions we're made known to us. and
which arrived In San Francisco on Nov. IS,
failed to bring news OF the overthrow Of
the Hawaiian Government1
Evidently. Minister WILLIS had found II
prudent to defer the execution OF the pro-
Qramme which President CLEVELAND had
arranged, and which he must have expected
would be carried out soon after the ar
rival OF the Minister But why did Mr.. VIII
LIS postpone compliance with what must
be presumed to have been his instructions
Was 1t because. In San Francisco. and on
the voyage thence. and after his arrival at
Honolulu, he discovered that the Hawaiian
Government was too firmly rooted in the
respect and confidence OF the Hawaiian peo-
pie to be upset without an odious resort to
violence2 Assuming this to have been the
case, are we to infer that Mr.. WILLIS was
instructed not to attempt to destroy a
friendly Government by force, provided
It should show itself resolved upon resist

gress; and that when the petty power
showed willingness to fight. our bluff was

IIs's failure to carry out Mr.. CLEvELAND's
programme within week after his
landing at Honolulu. can mean only
one Of two things. 1t Is either a
backdown or Q trick. Which 1t Is. we
shall learn the moment Congress re-
convenes. when all the papers in the
Hawaiian business will be peremptorily
called for. Mr.. CLEVELAND will find out
that, instead OF having Congress on his
hands. as he Is fond OF asserting. Congress
has him on Its hands to an unpleasant ex-
tent. and will keep him there till 1t has
taught him a fundamental lesson touching
the depositary OF war-making powers un-
der the American Constitution.
Should 1t turn out that Mr.. CLEVELAND
has ordered the preparation. OF an act Of
war against q friendly Government. we do
not know whether Congress will think him
worth the trouble of impeachment. but GER

Such were the sentiments which the Hon.
ALBERT S. WILLIS recently expressed to the
head OF the Hawaiian Government In behalf
OF the United States and at the dictation Of
Mr.. CLEVELAND.
Does Mr. CLEVELAND still think that It
Is the duty OF his Administration to give
the lie to these friendly and honest senti-
ments2 Does he still persist In manifest
ing the spirit of peace. friendship. and hos
pitality by overthrowing the Government
that represents peace. friendship. and hos

Mr.. CLEVELAND still has 1t In his power
to recall an act Of treachery to American

All that he has to do to demonstrate his
recantation OF non-American policy is to
let Mr.. WILLIs's friendly words be trans

Rewards and Pun,.hment. from the White

WASHINGTON. Nov. 20-Among the curiosities

punltory blows upon a number Of Democratic
Senators for their course during the silver re-
peal debate, 1t Is unnecessary to particular
ize II Senators Vest. Cockrell. Pugh. and
others do not understand all about 1t. then no

lights in paying debts. or rather grudges. Of
that sort.
1t can be said that the President Is doing a
good deal OF that kind Of business. with much
more In reserve. lie remembers all OF those
Senators to whom he was liberal but VINO
went back on him at the extra session. II is
an interesting feature Of his system otrewards
and punishments that he remembers those
who desire rewards, particularly those who
pretend to be friendly. but who really are false.
He doesn't hesitate to name them.
There Is report that Mr. Cleveland has q
list OF Republicans he intends to appoint to
good Offices in recognition OF the action Of
certain Republican Senators at the extra ses-
sion. There are debts in that quarter that he
intends to pay with good interest The APP
pointment Of scott Harrison at Kansas City is
not precisely one OF these. but 1t was an APP
Dointment that Senator Cockrell at least will

TsriH Reform BECOMES Diumer as the In-

WASHINGTON. Nov. 20-The head promoters
Of the Income tax are confident that u would
be wise financially and victorious politically.
They arc almost exclusively from the South.
Tennessee. Missouri. Texas. and so on bein9
the schools Of statesmanship from which they
we're graduated. Chairman Wilson has from
the Start been an ardent promoter he having
reached his convictions by hard thinking for
which the air Of West Virginia is specially
favorable. All OF Bourke Cockrans warning
and sense were lost on him. and Representa-
1.-Two McMlDin Of Tennessee agrees with Will
son. Tariff and internal taxation revolve
around the income tax. That particular meth
cd Of raising revenue Ia considered by the
statesmen who are constructing the Admins
tration's financial policy rs the hub OF the
wheel. tho embodiment Of all the available
wisdom needed for the occasion.
At the very moment OF the loudest promises
to have the new Tariff bill we'll on its way
through Congress before Christmas the most
earnest protests are making In the Ways and
Means Committee room by representatives OF
business interests from nearly every part OF
the country. particularly the South. These
representatives get little satisfaction, whereat
they declare to Chairman Wilson: III YOU

The favorite idea as to an income tax Is to
make lit work on sliding scale with an
oscillatinR notion: that Is. the tax must be so
framed to produce as much money as the Gov
eminent happens to have occasion for. For
example. a. between an appropriation OF one
or five millions or any other sums. IL would be
an easy matter to go to almost any figure. so
long as the income tax could be adjusted
correspondingly. Difficulties as to appropria-
lions frequently disappear when It is known
there exist the means for supplying the money
The prepondering idea. as MIR. Bryan. the Ne
braska statesman. boldly declares. is to make
the tax popular" by distributing the exemp-
lions and burdens. Few persons in Nebraska
and certain other States would pay anything
at all. but the reverse would be the case in
some other States. These income takers seem
to have got the science OF the thing down fine.
or at least they think they have.
Mr.. Bryan pattern in levyinR income taxes
Is Prussia, whose system he has studied
deeply and can repeat by the hour. Prussia
and the United States he thinks are strikingly
similar az to taxation. From this point OF
view he will argue the question in Congress
as he has done in the committee room.
