menting on President Cleveland's message,
says: 1--WE admire the American govern
ment and people for refusing to be drawn
into the vortex of annexation. Mr.. Cleve-
land will not have Hawaii, though the fruit
was not merely ready TO drop from the
tree but was actually in his lap. Mr.. Har-
rison easily deposed the Queen and Mr.
Cleveland has set her up again. The queen,
before refusing to consent to amnesty
should read the history of the American
civil war, which would show her that the
shortest way with a rebellion is 10 treat its
participants with mercy as soon as 1t is
put down. The Queen probably thinks that
a victim two is essential to her dignity,
but she will get over that"

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S-The people of
this country are out of pocket 100000 on the
postal note experiment That is to say the
difference between the postal notes sold by
the government and those redeemed from

nous sum. A postal note lost is as surely
gone as currency dropped through hole

that the postal note has done and still carry
the government guarantee and protection
against loss. The money order system Is
made simpler. The rates are reduced. For
ten years the money order business has not
increased, while other branches OF the pos

rea son of this is that people have turned 10
