Washington Notes.


On Thursday 1t was said that the Wilson
bill would be presented to the House the
following Wednesday. There was strik-
ing spectacle presented in the corridors
leading to the committee room where the
Democratic members Of the Ways and
Means Committee were holding their star
chamber deliberations over the tariff
schedules Of the Wilson bill. They were
thronged with anxious representatives of
nearly every industry Of the United States
all desiring to plead for some modification
of the changes that threatened their pros
perity, IL not their very existence. But
they were given no hearing. save when
they could p-.llj r"nr their petitions into
the unwilling ears OF some member on his
way to or from the conference.
1t was a scene that the whole people Of
the United States should have witnessed
and well deserved ex-Speaker Reeds
caustic comment: "Tbe Democratic
members of the committee are holding a
back-stairs conference, where they are
disposing Of the country's Industries at
retail"

The Queen Of Hawaii.
New Yorld World. Dem

New Yorld World, Dem.
The idea of the United States setting up
anybody in the monarch business IS gro
tesque. 1t is likewise shocking to all the
sentiments bred in us by lifelong study
of the Declaration of Independence and
other documentary expressions of funda-
mental American ideas on the subject OF
government.
But the opera bouffe suggestion is mag
nified in its grotesqueness when the pro
posal is that odr Government shall engage
in this sort of work on behalf of such
queen as Liliuokalani 1t is worth while
to ask, Who is this women, anyhow What
are her claims and qualifications
She enjoys, for one thing, the distinction
of being the granddaughter of the first man
ever hanged in Hawaii for wife murder.
She Is the daughter Of drunken kanaka'
a Honolulu hummer who was elevated 10
the throne without the least shadow OF
claim even under the successions laws
This man, Lunalilo, was "elected" under
certain forms and was specially urged TO
quit his dissolute habits by way OF nam
tanning his kingly dignity. But there was
no Keeley cure in Hawaii then, and he pro-
ceeded with truly royal disregard OF the
proprieties to drink himself to death In a
year.
At the suggestion of Mark Twain, ''king
Bill, " Kalakaua, Lunalilo's son, succeeded
to the throne and the sideboard, and when
he drank himself to death in due course ne
named his sister, Liliuokalani, as his sue
cessor.
She was the reputed wife at one time oil
John Domino, mongrel of American and
Kanaka decent, who seems 10 have been
descent fellow deserving a better fate.
Death kindly released him long ago.
Since that time his Kanaka royal spouse
has led dissolute life so openly in def
ance of decency that decency has ceased
to complain oft. Her present paramour is
one Wilson, mongrel OF Kanska and
Tahitan extraction, whom she made mar
shal of the palace and practical ruler oftbe
realm.
Lihuokalani is about 55 years old-old
enough to knew better. But her dissolute-
ness of life remains untempered BY the
discretion of advancing years. She is u
Kanaka only few generations removed
from cannibalism. She is slow ofintellect,
but furlively shrewd in intrigue. Her tastes
are Kanakan and uncivilized. Her ambi-
tions are reactionary.
This woman undertook so set aside the
somewhat enlightened Constitution framed
under American influence for the restraint
of her ignorance and barbarism. Out OF
this attempt at reaction grew the revolu-
ton which created Provisional Govern
ment That Government is composed of
the best men in Hawaii, mostly Ameri-
cans.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 8.-Levingstone Nc
QUESTION, W. A. Forquer, G. NJ Heinemau
and Col W. T. Mechling, of Butler, were
here to-day in the interest OF the latter foi
the United States Marshalsiip Of the West
ern District. IL is understood that Col
Mechlng is being pressed as a compromise
candidate, but the supporters Of the other
candidates don't see u that way. Mr.
Sibley claims that, as the United State'
District Attorney came from Mr.. Kribbs''
district, and the Collector of Internal Rev
enue from Mr.. Sipes's, the Msrshalship
should 20 to his. As the matter stands
now. il looks as though Maj. Walker. OF
Erie, had the best show for the appoint
ment
Tnc Butler visitors seem to be the only
persons heard from who are indiffent as to
placing petroleum on the free list. Mr.
Forquer said that the excitement in tle
oil regions over the matter was all hum
bug. "Only few cranks are raising all
the fdss," was his statement AS these
gentlemen were here on an offce-hunting
expedition, they were probably wise in
standing in with the powers that be.

in the Chamber of Deputies yesterday. He
made confession this morning.
The bomb was thrown while the Cham.
Der was engaged in routine proceedings
The floor was filled with Ministers aud
Deputies, and the galleries were crowded
with spectators. The bomb, which, in ad-
dition to the explosive, contained u lot OF
horse shoe nails and scrap iron, was drop
ped from an upper gallery and was explod
ed by time fuse before it reached the
floor OF the Chamber, hurling its deadly
contents in all directions. A shrek OF
horror arose in unison from the members
and spectators, AID amid the binding
smoke and cries and groans Of the injured,
the thousand people in the Chamber made
wild rush to reach the outer rooms.
Nobody was killed, but about 100 people
were more or less injured. Many will
bear the marks0 of their wounds for life.

His speech was loudly cheered, and fol
lowing his courageous example, NJ. Mont.

feclly steady voice took up the discussion
of the question before the House as if
nothing had happened. When the discus
sion closed, NJ Cdsimir- Perier, the Prime
Minister Said that he felt compelled to AS
sure the House that the Government
would do its duty. He said:
Society has laws with which to defend
itself against such crimes as the one Just

Scranton Republican.
Among the large number of names sug-
gested for the succession to the seat in Con-
gress made vacant by the death of General
William Lilly are those of many Republi-
cans of ability and some of them of former
valuable service to this country, but there
is one who in all respects looms high above
all Others That one is the Hon. Galusha
A Grow. of Susduehanna County, long ago
retired from active political life, but robust
as ever in his Republcanism as well as in
| his physical and mental vigor We can
| thiak of no Republican in PENNSYLVANIA
upon whom this waiting honor could be
conferred BY the party more deservedly
nor with more grace As Speaker OF the
! National House of Representatives in the
| stirring war DAYS of 1862, as father of that
! great national blessing to the 200 m mtL-the
| homestead law, as the fearless champion o1
| free speech, free soil and free men before
| whom Southern fire eaters and slave drivers
covered. Galusha A. Grow achieved a
| national fame which has not become dim
| med by inteTV ening years
''To confer upon this still vigorous sur
vivor of the army of grand and fearless Re
publicans of the early days OF the party the
honor of seat in the National House o
Representatives from the State at large
would effect far more distinction upon tn {

1t would be a most commendable and grace
