The West Virginia Legislature ad-
iourns sine die to-day. having completed
and passed the appropriation bill.
The body on the whole has been a
good one and although the REGISTER
has felt called upon to criticise some OF
its acts and omissions it has furnished
fewer causes for criticism than most Of
its predecessors. 1t mas shown ability
and industry, although it passed re-
markably few measures, which, how
ever, is nothing to its discredit.
Among the important acts was the
massage Of 3 substitute for the OBJ
noxlous "Maried Woman's Act" the
enactment OF the anti-Pinkerton law,
and the amendment Of the new ballot
law.
In appropriations it displayed com
mendable spirit OF economy while deal
ing literally with institutions that de-
served lberality.
II all our Legislatures had done as
we'll and exercised as much wisdom as
this one the people would have little
cause for complaint in tbeir laws. It's

ance that they have ful6neA their duty.

CARLIsLE.s MIeHFY TAsK.

Never in the history Of the world has
minister Of finance been confronted
with a more serious, intricate and per-
picking situation than that which Sec
rotary CARLISLE now faces. He has
not only to provide against financial
panic and keep the wheels OF the gov
eminent going with little or no money
to do it with, but has to guard against
the consequences and evils of depre-
clated currency, redeem that currency,
and formulate, or aid in the formulation
OF tariff bill that will conform to the
exIgencles Of the situation, produce the
needed revenue and at the same time
give the people the relief promised
them in the platform of his party.
ANY one OF these tasks is sufficient in
itself to tax to the utmost all the pow
ers and ingenuity of the wisest states
man. Combined and interlocked and
dependent each upon the other as they
are, they present a stupendous problem
whose proportions are simply appalling.
To succeed in rescuing the nations
currency and finances from the immi-
nent perils in which four years Of ex-
trsvagant and incompetent Republican
rule have placed them, Mr.. CARLISLE
must have the prompt aud earnest aid
and sympathy OF Congress, as he will
have the support and sid of the Presi-
dent and his brother members of the
Cabinet.
The country knows Mr.. CARLISLE
we'll enough to have confidence in his
ability to keep the Treasury of the
shoals for which it was headed under
the guidance OF the late administration,
and this confidence, in itself, counts
for much. The people breathe ireer
now that the helm is in other hands.
The danger is not passed, and may not
be for months, but it was high time for
a change Of steersmen to prevent actual
panic.
II Mr.. CARLISLE shall come from this
crucial test Of his abilities unscathed
and place the currency and finances Of
the government, now sick unto death,
once more on a sound and healthy foot
ing he will have earned for himself an
undisputed title to the foremost place
among the statesmen Ofthe world.

President Cleveland May Send Com
mission to Look into the Matter Thor
ouhghly.
New YORK. March IA morning
paper says: An intimation that Presi-
dent Cleveland may appoint commits
sion to visit Hawaii before acting on the
annexation question, has caused chill
to run up the backs OF the Hawaiian
Commissioners. They had hoped for
something better than this. III the an
nexation scheme failed to receive the
approval Of the new administration,
they hoped at least to return to provls-
ional government, and say that the
United States. would be willing TO nego-
tiate for the assumption OF protector
ate over the Islands. The appointment
OF a commission, they realize, would not
only occasion a delay in the settlement
Of the important questions, but would
deprive them Of any OF the honors or
profits connected with the negotiations.
They are therefore 10th to believe the
rumor, which was current this after
noon, that the new administration y
talking Of appointing commission 10
visit the Islands, with authority 20
treat with the provisional government
upon a plan giving supremacy over the
Islands without mourning all tbs re-
sponsibilitles accompanying annexation.

Crack Joke and Pass On.
WAsHrNeroN, d. c., March THE
steady teamp, tramp Of the office-seek-
ers sounded through the White House
all day. There was practically no cessa-
ton in the line of people who assembled
the stairway leading to the Presidents
room, and nearly all who came saw Mr..
Cleveland. They found him in Jovial
humor, and he. cracked jokes with OLD
acquaintances whom he had not seen
since his departure from Washington
four years ago. While large number
of those who saw the President were
candidates for Office, few OF them at
tempted to press their claims and Con-
gressmen with long lists Of constituents
who are willing to work for Uncle Sam,
were discreet enough not to ask for
favors but to simply pay their respects.
The members of the United States SUI
irene Court, with the exception OF
Chief Justice Fuller and Justice Har-
Ian, came early in accordance with Gus
tom.
Congressman Meredith, of Virginia.
came with a delegation of friends; Con-
gresham Henderson, of North Carolina,
was on similar duty. Congressman
Bland, of Mo-, left his hobby Of free
silver outside OF the door when he went
into Mr.. Cleveland's room. Congress
man Holman, of Indiana, cracked his
joke with the President.
Ex-Congressman Rogress, OF ArkanT
sas, who was mentioned as q candidate
for the Attorney Generaship In Mr..
Clevelaud's Cabinet, came, so he said,t
renew his acquaintance. BE was not
after an Office, said Mr.. Rogers, and II
the lightning were to strike him he
would be the most surprised man In the
world.
The great bulk of the visitors were
Democrats, of course, but there were a
number OF Republicans in the throng.
Among them were Senators Mitchell, OF
Oregon, and Henderson. of Nebraska.
and Congressman O'Neill and Dalzell,
of Pennsylvania. Another caller was
Charles II. Taylor, Of Kansas City, Mo-,
ex-Minister to Liberia, who is after the
scalp of Recorder of Deeds Bruce.
Congressman Rockwell, Senator HiiFs
great friend, was also numbered among
the elect admitted to the Presidents
| room.
= Mr.. Cleveland was so busy receiving
callers that he did not 90 down stairs
to see the hundreds of people waiting
for him in the East room. The room
became so crowded, and the crowd out
side waiting admittance was so great
that the East room was cleared and a
line formed so that people might pass
in and out and thus have an opportuni-
W OF seeing the apartment. Fully i've
thousand people went through the
White House in this disappointing man
ner.

lists marked up their loans to-day. AT one
time q per cent per diem in addition TO the
legal interest OF 6 per cent annum was paid
by borrowers. This means that some stock
exchenge borrowers had to pay at the rate
of 81 per cent per annum. Some refused to
stand the "shave" and liquidated their
stock accounts which added to the bearish
feeling. The streets looking to Washing
ton for relief and the daily rumor that the
government would shortly invite bids for

One Of the leading drawers Of foreign ex-
change has reduced posted rates ofsterling
