UNsEENILY HASTE.

President HARRISON, i'll the closing
dayS of his administration, sends to the
senate message announcing the nego-
tiation of a treaty with the represent
atives' of Hawaii, transmitting copy
of it and the correspondence of Minis
ter STEVENS, and urges the immediate
ratification of the treaty.
What are the known facts? A couple
of thousand citizens of the United
States have settled in Hawaii and en-
gagged in business. With their usual
thrift and craft, they have obtained
large property interests there. They
have imported into the country large
numbers of coolies to work their sugar
plantations. They have grown wealthy
and rapacious as their wealth IN
creased. They are not content with
the gains made under our treaty with
that country, and which they are
deprived of by the MCKINLEY act
They want share in the bounty given
to sugar producers in this country. Io
get this they must make the Islands a
part of our domain. They organize a
conspiracy to overthrow the Legitimate
government. They carry it into effect
The government is helpless with its
army of less than hundred soldiers.
The minister Of this country, without
other preteXt than a pretended fear OF
trouble, recognizes the usurpers and
establishes protectorate over the coun-
try, and our man-of-War sends It's armed
force to sustain the usurpati0n.
;eio Ic
and send commissioners to this country
to offer the islands to us. They refuse
passage to representatives of the gov
ernment on the same steamer. They
find a ready reception at the White
house. Meantime representatives OF the
deposed queen come to make their pro-
test. The natives send by them pro-
test before whose simple words OF pa
thetic remonstrance, greed, avarice, ra-
pacity, should stink away ashamed.
Protests and remonstrances, the rights
of the native people. of their rightful
government,are unhoeded. a president
of this country, retired for cause by his
people, on the verge Of oblivion. takes
lid the cause of the spectators and
recommends this country to grasp that
which they offer, but have no right eX-
cept that of might to give.
The GLOBE has Dot thought it posi-
BILE that the president would take this
course at all; much less that he would
take if with such indecent haste. 1t
trusts that there will be found among
the senators enough with finer sense
of right than the president has shown
to defeat the plans of these freebooters.

A COMMISSIONERS OF AGRF-
CULTURE.

The GLOBE has felt compelled to
criticise with more or less severity so
many of the paternalstic measures in
troduced into the house Or senate that
it turns with feeling of relief to the
consideration of bill so purely phllan-
thropic and humanitarian. SO free from
iobbery and selfish aspirations, and so.
forth, as is the bill which proposes to
create the office of commissioner OF ag-
rculture for this great agricultural
state.
The GLOBE, in common with most OF
the people of the state, has felt for
years that the state was suffering from
a ''long-felt want" without knowing eX
actly what it was. Things have gone
wrong everywhere. Crops have been
falling in some parts of the state; drouth
has hit one portion and wet another,
while premature frosts have fallen on
immature harvests. Prices have f1nctu-
ated with unaccountable cuSSeduesS.
The elevators and millers have raw
ened on the products of the fields un-
checked. B0omS in real estate nave
grown and blosSomed and died away,
leaving pockets empty of cash and title
boxes filled with worthless dirt. The
GLOBE is satisfied now that this is all
due to the singular omission of the state
to provide herself with commissioner
of agriculture 1t reioice5, of course,
that the error is to be rectfied. Moth
ing does any one, and especially state,
so much good as to have long-felt want
we'll filed.
Briefly let the GLOBE refer to the pro-
visions of this important measure. Ihe
commits ,ioneris to make reports to the
governor annually of the condition OF
agriculture, with observations and re-
marks. Fifty thousand copies are to be
printed and distributed by the commlS-
sioner, and, to guard against the forget
fuineSS of man and the ravages OF
moths, 100 copies are to be preserved
for the admiration of future ages in the
state historical Society's vaults. w hat
ever vagueneSs there may be about the
specification of duties of the commls-
s0ner, the provisions relating to salar
and so-forth are perspicuity itself. lie
lie examiner, some S3,5 800 a year, with
$1,000 year for clerk hire and $500 a
year for incidentals. In order that sub
sequent legislatures may not be both
cred with putting the salaries and So
forth into the annual bills, the appro'
priation is made a standing one. 10
relieve the governor from the painful
duty of selecting commissioner. no
| term of office is set, but the incumbent
holds until he dies, resigns, removes ''or
otherwise"
The GLOBE feels that this note of this
filling of long-felt want needs no otheI
or further comment than the conclud-
ing section. which it quotes:
Section 4. on account of his long resi-
dence in the state, acquaintance with It's re-
sources and his experience in making inves-
legations and reports upon agricultural SUBJ
iects Gen. CHRIsToPHER c. ANDREWS is
hereby appointed commissioner under this
| act.

CARLISLE'S FAREWELL.
Parting Dinner Given to Fosters
Successor by His Senatorial
Successor.
Senator Vest Gives a Little Piece
of Inside Political
History.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-1he parting
dinner given to Senator Carlisle to-
night by his laee associates in the Sen-
ate, at the Arlington hotel, was mem-
orabIe affair in more ways thaD one.
The dinner itself was the best
that could be served, and the company
included almost the entire senate. Pres
ident Pro TEN. Mandersop,o of Nebraska,
presided in the absence, of Vice PreSl-
dent Morton, who later in the evening
appeared and made a happy little
speech.
Mr.. Carlisle, in rising to respond to
the speeches. was greeted with a
warmth that manifestly affected him.
He carefully avoided touching upon
any questions affecting the financial
policy of the next administration,
although Senator Stewart was obviously
on the watch for some indication
that he could lay hold of. Mr.. Carlisle
directed the closing of his remarks to a
discussion of the growing non-pariisan
character of the senate. He spoke of
the senate as being in the person or
each individual senator the represen-
tative of the whole people OF each state
and not of any one political party.
The senate" he said, "does not con-
sist of two hostile parties. but is COM
posed of eighty-eight individual mem
bers, each one of whom finds hlmself
occasionally vielng with his political
opponents as we'll as against his polltl-
cal friends"
In the course of subsequent speech
making MI. Vest gave little piece of
inside political history. He said: II
hope l do not violate any personal rela-
tions in stating that when the president
elect of the United States called upon
Mr.. Carlisle to assume the duties OF
the office which he has since ac-
cepted. it was my pleasure and duty
to 20 TO him and ask him to take this
place, stating the public service called
| upon him to make the sacrifice, and that
there was no member of the party who
could in my opinion fill this place so
we'll as himself. He replied: 'Ey-
cry desire ] have; every hope |
have cherished would be dashed
to pieces by going into this cabinet.
1t would virtually end my public ca
reer. | responded 10 him: You are a
political soldier, engaged in tight
which is partly won, but which, unless
! you now come to the front, will be a
mere worthless victory. You are
|, ordered by the general i'll COM
7 mand, to whom we have given
all the influence we possess, to
take a dangerous post. You are the
only man, in my opinion, and that OF
thousands of others, who can take it
with hope of success With full
knowledge of the dangers before him,
John q. Carlisle rose to the occasion
and deserves the thanks of every honest
man. These remarks were received
with general applause.

of Canada is flocking to the United
States for homes at rate which threat
ems to leave in a few years only band
of opinionated Tories to live together In
a mutual admiration society. However,
all the Tories are not of the stripe of
the Empire; some of them are broad
minded men. A good many of these
have lately become citizens of the
United States; others would like to
come over, but are detained by property
interests, and nearly all the remainder
are at heart as much in favor Of annex
ing with the United States as the most
enthusiastic Liberals.
The Canadians are generally an intel
ligent, industrious, home-loving people.
No other two races in the world are so
nearly alike as the Canadians and the
people of the United States. They
have their home broils; so have we.
They have occasional bloody butcheries;
so have we. Only the most narrow
minded on either side of the line would
cast at the other nation such slur as
that of the Empire.

of the Columbia river, Oregon, from

Passes to the mouth of the Ohio river,
from S2,665.000 to S2,000,000; for
the Missouri river from $780,
900 to S650,000; the amendment
providing that. not more than three
fourths of the appropriations for the in
ternational improvements shall be eX-
pended durin g the next fiscal year, ex-
cept as to the Mississippi and Missouri
rivers and Hay Lake channel, was
agreed to.
The next reserved amendment was
one striking OUT of the provision that no
money shall be used for warrants or ar
rests or prosecutions under the internal
law. The words, ''or the laws relating
to the members of congress-" This
brought on discussion concerning the
merits and demerits of John Davenport.

DENIED BY CARLISLE.
He Has Made No Statement That
He Would Issue
Bonds.
New Plan to Get q Vote on the
Suspension of Silver
Coinage.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16. - Secretary
Foster said this afternoon that, as far
as he was advised, the shipment
of gold for the balance of the
week would not reach more
than 81, ,250,O0O. "The treasury"
he said, mas on hand something
over IS, ,O0O,0 900 free gold. The situation
shows a slight improvement, the re-
ceipts being heavy" Ex-senator Car
Isle was asked what authority there
was for the statement credited to him
that zone OF my first official steps will
be to issue bonds, and this will be fol-
lowed by a special session of congress
The Sherman act will be then repealed"
He replied: II have had no interview
on the subject and have made no such
statement TO anybody. L desire to say
further. that l have not announced to
anyone what the policy of the incoming
administration will be on the subject
mentioned, and do not intend to do So"
There is a new plan OH foot to get
vote on the suspension OF Sllyer-pur-
chaSeS. 1t consists i'll obtaining Spe-
cial order from the committee on rules
fOr the consideration OF the Stewart free
coinage bill, which passed the senate
last summer, and then moving a SubStl-
tute suspending further purchase OF
bullion under the Sher man law until
the bullion i'll the treasury can be
coined.
NEW YORK, Feb. 16.-The decision Of
the cabinet at Washington not to issue
government bonds to maintain the gold
reserve is still the leading topic dis
cuSSed i'm financial circles. Brayton
Ives. president of the Western National
bank, says:
1T is natural that President Harrison
should not wish to take such step in
the last days Of his administration,
which might commit his successor to a
policy he would not wish 10 follow.
The benefit to be derived from such an
issue would be at least only temporary.
We must, of course, keep up the parity
of gold and silver but see no reason
why the payment OF certificates should
not be made from the Sl00,00O,000 gold
reserve. 1t is perfectly legal, L think,
and the only trouble is the Impairment
of public confidence that might follow.
| believe we can tide over the present
trouble, as we'll as we have past crises
of a similar kind. and so long as the
present silver law is i'll force the danger
will remain
f. X. Wright, president of the Ma.
tional Park bank, says: Il think bonds
will have to be issued either by this adj
ministratioh or the next. Something
must be done, but the benefit, OF course,
will be only temporary. The trouble is
the present foolish purchase of silver.
Ii the silver law should be repealed and
bonds issued, the bonds would form the
basis for stable bank currency which
would take the place of the silver, and

A TORY SLUR,

The Toronto Empire, the rankest of
Tory papers, speaks of Russia and the
United States in this way: Both are
land-hupgry; both are liable to out
breaks of internal savagery; both have
people which in many respects appear
to detest the restraints of law and
order" The Empire is one of the
sheets that vigorously encouraged Cam
adian seal poaching in the Behring sea.
and recommended violent resistance on
the part of the poachers; also that they
be defended by war if necessary. 1t is
not many years since Canada was
stirred up with bloody rebellion. 1t
is not long since at the instance of such
sheets some of the local measures of
Manitoba were vetoed, and the province
came near rebelling. During the past
twenty-five years they have repeatedly
had riots and butcheries in the streets
of Toronto and other large Canadian
cities which were as bloody as the mas
sacre of ST. Bartholomew. But it Is a
waste of time to handy words with
such sheets as the Empire. 1t is suf-
ficient to know that the best blood

matter of keeping their children at
school. The children OF such parents
would generally need to be supplied
with new text books every few weeks,
in case they did not quit school alto
gether shortly after receiving an install
ment. The people have certainly done
enough in furnishing free schools, and
such public paternalism would be an
extravaganza which would be unjust to
he ,axpayefs and an advantage to school
book contractors.

Rockafellow. IS Affairs Found TO Be
in Bad shape.

WMKEsBARRE, Pa, Feb. 16.-The
assignee of f. V. Rockafellow & Co.'s
broken bank has made preliminary
report. He finds things in a very
bad shape. The bank has been
insolvent for ten years. Rock
afellow, he says, never made
report of the banks condition i'll
twenty years. Rockafellow was short
in his accounts five years ago. He at
once began race with the inSolvent
bank He insured his life heavily.
Had death overtaken him previous
to 1890 the bank would have won
the race, and the depositers would have
been safe. In the meantime the banks
surplus was growing less and the inSur-
ance premiums were harder to pay. As
a result the banker was compelled to
drop several policies. At one time he
was insured for 100000. According to
the figures furnished by the referee it is
doubtful if the bank will pay its depoS-
itors more than 20 cents Oh the dollar.
