HARBIsON's HAWAIIAN TREATY

HARRISON'S HAWAIIAN TREATY.
The Administrations Hawaiian treaty
has been submitted TO the Senate. 1t
provides for annexation, which Mr.
HARRISoN thinks would be better than
the establishment of a protectorate over
the islands, though he fails to give his
reasons, except that no other power
could then get control of Hawaii.
Well, with a protectorate no other
power could get foothold there, Were
we TO make Hawaii one Of the United
States we would accomplish nothing
more in that direction than would be
done By the establishment Of a protec-
torate.
The United States do not want the
bother and responsibility OF governing
a half civilized country several thous-
and miles away, when nothing more is
to be gained by such course, than
by the establishment Of a protectorate.
We 90 not want to annex Hawaii.
THERE are now we'll grounded rumorS
that the city will shortly have to stand
heavy damage suit for the injury
done TO the street car compahy's prop.
erty by mobs. This is the natural out
come Of such senseless and lawlesS out
breaks. Some day the perpetrators Of
these outrageS may learn that their acts
are worse than useless so lar as helping
the strikers is concerned and that the
city is the main loser by them.

The Dsgo company did not arrive in
the city last night until nearly o'clock,
and Manager Genther decided not to
give any performance last night, as the
company could not do themselves JUS

positively be produced this evening
with alllts massive scenery. The tickets
sold yesterday will be good for tonight.
A few more choice seats are left and
those desiring choice seats should secure
them, as there will surely be great
rush tonight. Hundreds were turned
away last night but no one was to
blame except the railroad company.

OF Gus HU's World OF Novelties,
which comes TO the Opera House to-
morrow evening evening, the Baltimore
american says: "But few vaudeville
shows have been seen in this city which
equals the Gus Hills Novelties. Every
performance is we'll worth seeing. The
bill presented was made up Of long
list Of clever people, and long story
would not give them more credit than
this plain statement. The merits Of the
people are so evenly and universally dis
tributed, that mention OF any and not all
would be an injustice. Sufficient TO
say that each and every artist is a whole
show in himself. The performance
concludes with funny little comedy of
''School for Scandal" which sends the
people out In good humor." Seats at

This not a temperance treatise, but
it has Il bit of fact in it that the total
abstainer may show to the becr-drink.
or whenever occasion offers. The at.
tention of the New York hospital
surgeons has been directed to the big
number OF bar tenders that have lost
several fingers from both hands with
in the past few years. The first case
was that of an employe of a Bowery
concert hail. Three Of the fingers on
the right hand and two of his left
were rotted away when he called at
Bellevue n day and begged the doc
tors to explain the reaso lIcsaid
his duty was to draw beer for the
thousands who visited the garden
nightly. The man was in perfect
health otherwise, and it took the
young doctors quite a time to arrive
at any conclusion. But they did f.
nally, and it nearly took the beer
mans breath when they did.
"Your fingers have been rotted off,"
they said, shy the beer you have
handled"
Other cases Of a similar nature
came rapidly after this one, and to-
day the physicians estimate there is
an army of employees of saloons whose
fingers are being ruined by the same
cause. The acid and rosin in the
beer are said to be responsible.
The head bartender of q we'll
known downtown saloon says he
knows a number of cases where beer
drawers have, in addition to losing
several Of the fingers of both hands,
lost the use of both members. "Beer
will rot iron, | believe" he added.
II know and every bartender knows
that it is impossible to keep a good
pair Of shoes behind the bar. Beer
will rot leather as rapidly almost as
acid will eat into iron. IL l were a
temperance lecturer I'd ask what
must beer do to mems stomachs II it
eats mems fingers and their shoe
leather. I'm here to sell it, but l
won't drink it, not much"

senE PERTINENT SUGGESTIONS.

Nashville American.
The following suggestions from the
Boston Herald, and which are appro-
pirate for all seasons, are forcibly per-
tincnt in these time OF financial dis
tress
IF there is any class of people in
the community who, more than an
other, should be scrupulous In pay
ing debts, it is rich people. The sac
rifice incurred on their parts In so do
ing Is nothing. They simply dis
charge a duty, and in the act are
making for themselves habits which
will be OF benefit in their business re-
lations In life. But by thoughtless
i~nattention, or a single reluctance to
pay out money, which even those who
have much of it exhibit, they do great
injustice to others, and get into very
bad ways on their w account. When
a bill is due a mechanic or tradesman
it ought to be paid, and the man who
has the money to discharge such a
debt should take pleasure in paying
1t. lie does justice to those whom he
owes and TO himself by the acts. By
Withholding it he frequently intiicts
not only injustice, but causes scnsi-
BILE embarrassment. II not distress to
worthy people. The whole matter
may seem Of slight Importance on a
cursory view, but there is often an in
jury caused In this way, which is i'm
portant in %pecuniary as other effects.
The creditor is at an obvious disad-
vantage in urging payment, for he is
in constant fear that by so doing he
he may offend, and so lose a customer.
He ought not to be compelled to do
this. Every man who owes money
should take pleasure II clearing him
self Of the obligation thus incurred.
Next to the satisfaction Of receiving
payment Of a debt should be that Of
making payment for the same, and
we are not sure but the two should be
on a par here"
The foregoing is nothing but the
plain truth, the force Of which will be
felt by everyone who stops to reflect
upon the subject. There are uhdoubt-
eddy many people of ample means in
almost every community who think
that a debt due from them is as good
as gold, a delay in payment is Of no
consequence. 1t Is not, as a rule,
with any thought or intent whatever
Of ~inflicting embarrassment upon the
person OF limited means to whom the
debt is due that delays are made in
payment of debts when the money is
ready at hand to discharge them. 1t
is generally but a habit of careless
ness, due In a large measure as above
indicated, to a knowledge Of certain
ability to pay. But debtors Of this
class should reflect. They should
know that a very paltry sum of money
has often operated as a lever whereby
credit has been saved and ruin avert
ed. They should reflect that small
sums due poor people are in many in
stances for the time their all, and
that a dollar paid promptly to a per-
son OF this class is generally of more
value than a greater sum which they
must wait for.

Whose Notes He Endorsed,
YoUNasTowN, o., Feb, IA sepsa-
tion was caused in business, financial
and manufacturing circles to-day by the
failure OF Robert l.. Walker, promi-
nent banker and capitalist, who made
an assignment this afternoon to Hal X.
Taylor, well known attorney, for the
benefit Of his creditors. The failure
will be widespread in its effects, invov-
ing Governor Mckinley, and the indi-
cations arc now that every dollar Of
property owned by the governor will be
swept away.
AS near as can be estimated the lia-
bilities will reach 100000. most OF it
paper for small amounts hold by coun-
try banks. The failure is due to invest
ments in properties and enterprises
requiring largo outlay Of money which
have not ms vet been productive.
From boyhood Governor Mckinley
and Mr.. Walker have been the closest
personal friends. When Mr.. Walker
requested the governor to endorse his

out making inquiry the governor con-
tinued placing his signature on notes
until the crash came. In response to a
message Governor Mckinley came here
to-day to ascertain the condition Of NJ
fairs and to ascertain whether he is n
bankrupt or not. 1t is estimated that
he is on tho paper OF Mr.. Walker for
from $4,000 to $50, 200, and ifitamounts
to less than the first named figure
efforts will be made by the governor to
take care OF it. Otherwise he will lose
every cent he has in the world. The
governor expected to speak at the ban-
quet of the Ohio society in New York
tomorrow night, but will remain here
and ascertain the extent OF his liability.

The Queen of the CannibaI Isles Addresses
President Harrison.


President Harrison.
WASHINGTON, D. O., Feb. 1.-The doc.
uments laid before tho senate on Hawa-
ilan matters contain tho hitherto un-
published protest addressed by the ex-
queen to the President which reads as
follows:
His Er-elncy, BeIjaRla Harrison, President Of
the United IuLeS,
My GREAT AND Coon FRIEND:--It is
with deep regret that l address
ynn--on this occasion. Some OF
my subjects, aided by aliens, have
renounced their loyalty and revolted
against tho constitutional government
OF my kingdom. They have attempted
to depose me, and to establish provis-
ional government in direct conflict with
the organic law Of this kingdom. Upon
receiving incontestablo proof that his
excellency, the minister plenipotentiary
Of the United States, aided and abetted
their unlawful movements and caused
United States troops to be landed Tor
that purpose, submitted to force, be-
lieving that he would not have acted in
that manner unless by authority OF the
government which he represents. This
action on my part was prompted by
three reasons: the futility OF conflict
with the United States; the desire to
avoid violence, bloodshed and the de-
struction OF life and property, and the
certainty with which l feel that you
and your government will right what
ever wrong may have been inflicted
upon us in the premises. This appeal
is not made for myself personally, but
for my people. who have hitherto al
ways enjoyed the friendship and protec-
lection OF the United States,
My opponents have taken the only
vessel which could be obtained here
for the purpose, and hearing OF their
intention TO send delegation OF their
number to present their side OF this
conflict before you, requested the
favor OF sending by tho same vessel an
envoy to you, to lay before you my
statement, as the facts appear to my
self and my loyal subjects.
This request has been refused and ]
now ask that in justice to myself AID
to my people no steps be taken by
the government Of the United States
until my cause can be heard by You. l
shall DO able to dispatch mn envoy about
the second day OF February MS that will
be the first available opportunity hence,
and he will reach you with every posi-
bic hnste that there may bo no delay in
the settlement OF this matter.
pray yon, therefore, my good friend,
that YOU will not allow any conclusions
to be reached by you until my envoy
arrives.
beg to assure you Of the continuance
Of my highest consideration.
