Cleveland Asking 10 he Let or.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 23.-The holiday recess
occurs opportuneiy for the Administration,
and for those Democrats In Congress- who are
disposed to help II out Of it's many difficulties,
specially the Hawaiian. There Is no doubt
that MIR. Cleveland is asking for help In the
present emergency. 1t is said he admits the
failure OF his plan to restore the rotten saw
age monarchy. He has not only failed to per-
petuate the barbarian throne. but has cleared
the way for new republic in the Pacific. As
he admits. everything has gone right the op-
posite to the way he meant 1t should co,
nothing creditablo remains for him to do In
the case. Under the Morgan resolution he
hopes to escape direct censure. but how to
have things work to this end is the problem
for those who are willing to crafty him.
II hnlf the reports anoat are true. the Presi-
dent Is disposed to come down several pegs.
In fact. he shows tho white feather and has
siGniAed wish to be let alone. During the
recess. conferences will take place as TO this.
1t Is admitted that 1t is not the Provisional
Government at Honolulu. but Cleveland that
Is most in danger. The Provisional Govern
ment has proved itself too much for the Queen
| and Cleveland both. and is now master OF the
situation. Some part OF the anxiety felt at
Honolulu has been transferred to the White
House in Washington. These circumstances
appeal in behalf OF Mr.. Cleveland. and there
are those who will listen to the appeal.
so when Congress cones together again, IL Is
not unlikely II will be with som ething like a
resoute purpose to let the President down
gently, mercifully, regarding the Hawaii bus-
ness Who or how many will participate in
this scheme is very uncertain. 1t is not GER
tain even that enough will join TO control or
even temper the decision o: Congress. An
attempt will be made to save Cleveland's 8

With that he will be satisfied, It is satd.

Legislature 10 stand up and make war on
Hawaii for Queen LILrUoKALAN1:

Good Now. let some untamsble advo-
cate Of the deposed get up in Congress-. and
move to send out military expedition to re-
store the savage Queen. to put down the
wicked missionaries who have rebelled
against her, and TO maintain her and her
successors upon the throne forever.

who the grave and dlgnined Senator. that
will come manfully forward and make this
motion And how many votes will he get
20 support it1 What an interesting list
the yeas and nays would offer!
The motion should also include an order
for q formal official service OF worship to
the hereditary goddess OF LIL1UoKALANI
and the Hawaiian idolaters generally. to be
offered as soon as she is made Queen again.
This divinity Is known as PELE. and the
chief feature OF this solemn ceremony OF
alteration would be the throwing OF black
pig into the boiling lava OF Mauna Loa. Tho
statesman. whether Senator or Repre-
sentative. who FIRST makes the motion In
Congress, should have the honor OF sling
ing the pig. while LrIUoKALASI could cay

ne Rn,eht of the Thistle.

Mr.. HSrsY G. HAxsBBouoH is Senator
from the comparatively new commonwealth
Of North Dakota. We dare cay his name is
not very familiar TO our readers. We pro-
pose to make IL better known.
Mr.. HANsBRouoH has . strong sntipathy
to vegetation in the form Of the thistle. 1t
is not the ordinary American thistle. how
ever, to which he objects. 1t is the Russian
thistle which he would tear up. root and
branch. and cast into the fiery furnace. at
the expense Of the United States. For this
purpose he desires to have the Secretary
OF Agriculture appoint ten agents. who are
to receive elk dollars a day and their ex-
penees and who may employ and direct all
necessary help in the determination Of the
Russian thistle aforesaid.
Mr.. HANsBRoUaH's scheme is set out In
full in Senate bill No. 1887. introduced into
Congress last week and entitled. "A bill
providing for the destruction and extermi-
nation Of the noxious plant or weed known
as saltwort or Russian thistle or cactus"
The finest part Of this production is the fol-
lowing provislon:
The compensation OF persons employed in the work
ef destroying and exterminanR the thstes as afors
sad shall not exceed "a per diem for adult males and
81 per diem for females and for males under is
As thistle exterminators. the Republican
Senator from North Dakota estimates wom-
en- at Just half the value OF men and as
equal only TO boys under fifteen. Is this
fair1 Certainly. as far as boys are con-
cerned. every farmer knows that a smart.
active boy will clear out weedy patch
moro quickly than any grown-up hired man
that ever worked on q farm.
Still. this defect In Mr.. HANsBRoueH's
bill may be remcdied by amendment. and
we trust he will not be prevented by ad-
verse criticism from going on with the
measure. At q time like this. when such
trite and insignificant matters az the Tariff
bill. the Hawaiian question. the income tax.
and the proposed Federal tax on legacies
are before the national legislature for con-
sideration and determination. the tran
scendent Importance OF extermlnating the
Russian thistle by men at two dollars day
and women at one dollar Is too manifest 10

In the aggregate value Of the msrchan-

The gracious custom Of making Christmas
gifts is as prevalent as ever, but. the people
having less money to spsnd the average
cost OF tho articles bought by them has
been much smaller.
Moreover. prices are lower and money
goes further The advertisements OF tho
merchants that they are selling goods at
bare cost are not deceitful. The eagerness
to dispose OF stocks on hand Is so great that
oitentimes profits are sacrificed. Houses
with plenty Of cash capital have also been
