| Turner Holds the Balance of Power.
1t seems to be well understood that
/ Representative Turner, of this state, Is in
| a position to say whether the demo
cratic majority of the ways and
means committee shall report for or
! against an income tax Five of the
members of the majority are against an
| income tax and five in favor of it. Mr..
Turner, it is said, has not yet ex-
pressed an opinion in respect to the mat
ter. If he decides in favor of an income
tax the committee will report in favor
of that method ofincreasing the revenues.
If he decides against it, some other
method will have to be adopted.
The question is a very important one.
An income tax would be unpopular with
all who would have to pay it, and they
would use their influence to have it re-
pealed, if law providing for it should be
adopted Many democrats would vote
with the republican party, if they thought
that party would repeal it. The great
objection to the tax is its inquisitorial
character. Most men who have large in
comes don't want the public to know how
large their incomes are.
The suggestion contained in the annual
report of the Secretary of the
Treasury that incomes derived
from investments in stocks and
bonds of corporations be taxed does not
meet with general favor. Why, it is
asked, should only incomes from stocks
and bonds of corporations be taxed! If
incomes are to be taxed at all. WHY not
tax all incomes-those from real estate,
business enterprises, salaries, etc.
tits evident that this income tax question
opens wide field for debate. 1t is certain
that tax on raw sugar will he proposed in
lieu of an income tax. A tax on sugar
has always been regarded as a revenue
tax, and it is now so considered. And, be-
sides, such a tax would avoid the neces-
sity for continuing the undemocratic
bounty Of cents pound on sugar
A Washington paper says that Mr.
Turner has returned to his home to con-
suit with his constituents as to whether
or not he shall throw his vote in the ways
and means committee in favor of an in
come tax. This statement is evidently
mistake. While Mr.. Turner has great
respect for the wishes of his constituents
he will follow his own judgment in the
matter. AS a rule he is not hasty in
reaching conclusions, but when he does
reach them he adheres to them.

The three territories that are knocking
for admittance at the door of the union
must continue to knock and wait until
wedding and a bridal tour have been
completed. Senator Faulkner, of West
Virginia, who is chairman of the Senate
committee on territories, is to be married
on Jan 3, the day on which congress is to
reassemble, and go at once on a bridal
tour, and nothing will be done about ad-
hitting the territories, probably, until he
gets back.

Judge Thomas NJ. Cooley, of Michigan,
the great constitutional lawyer, says that
inasmuch as Minister Stevens violated
this country's policy in the establishing
of provisional government in Hawaii
the administration is in no way bound to
support him in the position he
takes. ''The United States does
not need nor want the Hawaiian
Islands," says the Judge, which is
an argument that he thinks should be
conclusive. In regard to the jingoists'
cry that the United States should assist
those alleged Americans in the islands in
giving the islanders good government,
and against the restoration of the mon
archy, the Judge says we are no more
under obligation to give the Hawaiians
good government ethan we should be to
give different form of government to
the people of Russia or Italy, or any for
eign nation, if they should apply to u.s."

A military bicycle battalion has been
organized in the District of Columbia, and
the war department is considering the
adoption of the wheel in the regular army
service. The principal objections to the
bicycle in the army is that it cannot ford
streams, climb mountains or carry camp
equipments. 1t has been in use in the
British army for some time, but its use
has been practically limited to non-com-
missioned officers on recruiting service.

More Light Demanded.

It is expected that the Senate commit
tee on foreign relations will begin an in
vestigation of the Hawaiian muddle to-
day. This committee does not appear to
be entirely satisfied with Commissioner
Blount's report nor with the statements
made by ex-Minister Stevens and the
agents of the provisional government of
Hawaii II proposes making thorough
search for facts bearing upon the revo-
! luton, and it is thought it will summon
! Mr.. Blount, Mr.. Stevens, officers of the
! cruiser Boston that were at Honolulu at
/ the time of the revolution, and it may
even send a committee TO Honolulu to
get the testimony of the deposed queen
and members of the provisional govern
ment.
1t is hardly probable that the committee
will get statements different from those
that have already appeared in the public
prints 1t is certain that Mr.. Blount will
not tell story different from that which
appears in his published report and Mr..
Stevens will not admit that he has made
any mistake. Some light may be obtained
from the officers of the cruiser Boston,
but their information must be hearsay.
Beyond the fact that the United States
marines were landed from the Boston
they can know very little of their own
knowledge.
If commission were sent
to Honolulu, however, it would
undoubtedly find sufficient evidence
to justify the conclusion reached by
Mr.. Blount in his report, namely, that
few men got together lot of their friends
and sympathizers, declared that the queen
was deposed, announced that they consti-
tuted the government, and that the
United States minister recognized them
as the government even before the bar
racks had been surrendered by the queen.
The commission would also find, in all
probability that there would have been
no revolution had there not been tacit
understanding that the government of the
revolutionists would be recognized and
protected by United States Minister
Stevens.
The House does not intend to have an
investigation. 1t is satisfied that Mr..
Blount's report contains the facts and
that his conclusion is correct. There
fore it proposes to get rid of the matter
by adopting a resolution declaring
that Minister Stevens and the United
States naval forces helped to overthrow
the legitimate government and establish
the provisional government in opposition
to the will of the people of Hawaii. The
House will be through with the Hawaiian
matter before the Senate committee fin
ishes taking testimony, and its action
will be generally approved if it adopts
the resolution to which attention is
called
The leaders of the revolution have
found out that their provisional govern
ment doesn't amount to anything and so
they are making haste to establish re-
public. The republic, they propose, is
not to be founded upon the will of the
people-the native Hawaiians-but upon
the will of the foreigners, the carpet
baggers, who have obtained a foothold in
the country and got control of the bulk
of the property 1t is evident that the
Hawaiians are not to have fair chance.

Itwould appear, from dispatch pub
lished In the MORNING NEWS yesterday,
that at least one labor union in Chicago is
a very poor friend to the working people.
The bakers union is referred to. The
executive committee of that union has
ordered a strike. There are several
thousand union bakers in Chicago. A
strike will have the effect of adding all
of the union bakers to the vast army of
unemployed in the city, which already
numbers tens Of thousands and for which
extraordinary charity efforts have been
found necessary. More than this, a
bakers strike may cause a scarcity in the
supply of bread, with the result of send
ing the price up. What that means to the
starving poor of the city can be imagined
Thus, the bakers strike will not only add
to the number of sufferers from the hard
times, but will make conditions even
worse for the unemployed. The disaffec-
tion of no other trade union would be
more far-reaching in bad effects. In the
present condition of the business of the
country any labor strike is bad thing,
as the Lehigh railroad employees and the
Rhode Island mill operatives have found
out to their great cost, and as the Chicago
bakers will shortly learn if their executive
committees order is obeyed.

1t is said that the franchise in the
forthcoming Hawaiian republic will be
limited to male persons 81 years of age
and over who pay taxes on $500 worth
of property. That qualification has for
its purpose the shutting out of all, or
nearly all, of the blacks. The lingo or
gans of the north will, of course, approve
of the scheme. Suppose the southern
states were to adopt similar property
qualification as necessary to the voter

DR.. Chauncey Nj. Depew, who has Just
returned TO New York from a trip through
Europe, interviewed himself on the
steamer en- route home-wrote out a story
of his trip for the reporters he knew
would be awaiting him. His interview
with himself was 5000 words long when
he gave it to the "boys," and he wondered
show it would look' when the blue pen
ellis of the editors got through with it, In
most of the papers, it may be remarked,
the printed interview looked about 5000
words shorter than DR.. Depew's copy.
The board of trade of Key West. Fla,
has passed resolutions asking congress to
make an appropriation to secure an efficient
weather forecast service from the West
Indies and Caribbean sea, and urging the
cooperation to that end of the boards OF
trade of South Atlantic and Gulf cities.
The government has now a service from
the West Indies, but it is by no means
what it should be, because of a lack OF
money. Reports from St. Thomas, Ha.
vana, Martinique, etc. are received only
during part of the year, and not at
regular stated intervals during that part.
1t is believed that ifaregular and efficient
service were established, the weather
Office at Washington would be enabled Ia
give three or four days, or a weeks
warning of the approach of such storms
as those that visited this section during
August, September and October. The
experience of the South Atlantic coast
during last autumn should be sufficient
argument toinduce US to do everything
possible to anticipate the approach OF
West India hurricanes.

TIE comparison of Mark Twain to
Bismarck is funny. Frank r Stockton,
who says Mark is the Bismarck Of
hnmOrists. F" is something Of humorist
himself. He explains that the likeness
appears IN the courage Of the two men.
He refers, perhaps, 10 the occasion when
the educated frog Of one of Marks
heroes could not leap In the jumping
contest which had been arranged, be-
cause the rival hero had induced the
frog to swallow lead enough to keep him
steadily upon the ground. In apposI
ton or in comparison with that he
probably places the Iron Chancellor's
famous interview with the Russian
Premier Gortchakof. But we confess
the likeness does not strike us as either
pertinent or explanatory In fact, we
should feel quite as foolish as II we said
that Bismarck was the Mark Twain Of
statesmen II Mr. Stockton intended
to be funny he certainly must have sue
