Tucker Applies the Brakes.

Hon. II. St. George Tucker has
put down the brakes and stopped
the train. On Thursday last, he
offered the following preamble and
resolutions in Congress-
Whereas. The President of the
United States has recently sent to
the Senate Of the United States a
message proposing the annexation
of the Hawaiian Islands and sub
hitting the text of a treaty with
the provisional Government of said
islands by which the said annexa-
ton is hoped to be accomplished
and
Whereas, The subjects embraced
in the stipulations Of the treaty
are among the subjects which by
the Constitution of the United
States are submitted to the power
of Congress and over which Con-
gress has jurisdiction; and it being
necessary for such reason that the
consent of Congress shall be given
to the said treaty before the same
can have full force nj effect; there
fore, be it
ReSolved, That in view Of the
above declaration the President be
requested, if not Incompatible with
the public interest, to lay before
the House said proposed treaty and
all correspondence in connection
herewith Spectator.
Highland recorder. (Monterey, Highland County, Va.) 1877-1972, 1893-03-03

The ratification of the Hawaiian
annexation treaty is now consider
ed doubtful, 50 doubtful that Mr..
HarrisOn's friends in the Senate
are afraid to have it voted upon,
lest it be rejected. The democrats,
while not at all opposed to annexa-
ton, are almost to man opposed
to ratifying this treaty at this time.
Senator Morgan, of Alabama, is the
only democratic Senator who has
made speech in faver Of immedi-
ate anntxation, and his duties as
one of the Behring Sea arbitrators
have called him to Paris. 1t is the
general belief that no vote will be
taken upon the treaty at this SEES
sion. In that case President Cleve-
land may withdraw the treaty and
direct that a new one be negotiated
if ne favors annexation, or he may
send a message to the Senate rec
ommendlng the ratification Of the
present treaty, if it meets his ap-
proval. II Dir. Cleveland wishes'it
the treaty will be acted upon by the
Senate when it meets in extra ses-
sion to act upon his nominations,
etc.

"President Cleveland" said

"President Cleveland" said a
democratic Senator who was'oppos-
ed to Cleveland's nomination, and
who is for that reason called by
those who know no better and an
ti-Cleyeland man, never did a wis
er thing than when he smashed
precedent, which at times binds us
all too closely, and announced his
cabinet in advance of his Inaugural
tor. That must now be evident
to even the most careless observer
of things political, IS reflected in
Congress. The oppoo.5ion which
invariably follows the announce
ment Of new cabinet has been
given time to work itself out. ana
the result will be- that the new al-
will start out with the
party which placed it in power in
an unusually harmonious condition
and although there Will be quite a
number Of individual disappoint-
ments as the distribution Of patron
age proceeds, [ see nothing ahead
that leads me to believe that this
harmony will be seriously disturb
ed during Mr. Cleyeland's admins
tration." This Senator declined TO
allow the use of his name, because
lie has no desire to be accused Of
giving President Cleveland ''taffy, "
or of having his words construed
into bid for public pap.

Tomorrow Grover Cleveland will
for the second time be inaugurated
as President of the United States.
It is intended that this shall eclipse
all precedent inaugural ceremonies
in pomp and display. For months
the preparations have been gnng
on steadily, and the only thing the
managers now fear is that the
weather may be Of such nature as
to prevent the carrying out OF the
full programme, but be the wealth
er as it may, the ceremony will be
grand and imposing. While most
countries have to be content with
coronations at rare intervals, the
United States can boast of being
the only country in the world that
can be depended on for Inaugural
tons every four years.

Mr.. Harrison is ready to leave.
Most Of his private property in the
Executive Mansion has been box

it may be said that the various Gao

ago that President Harrison was
offered a fee of $4,000 by the lie
land Stanford University of. Cali

it is now said that he will not ac-
cept the offer for the present.

Mr. Harrison is now willing that
bonds shall be issued to increase the
gold balance in the Treasury, pro-
vided that Secretary Carlisle viii
take any such responsibility by re-
questing Secretary Foster to issue
them. The bonds have been en-
graved and can be issued at a days
notice, but there is no probability
that Secre airy Carlisle will take
any such responsibility before he
becomes Secretary of the Treasury,
and the making Of such a sugges-
ton by Mr. Harrison was nothing
more nor less than pleading the ba-
by act.
