RIGGINS' CONTEST.

The following letter explains itself
]. w. RIaGINs. ESQ.,:
Proprietor Waco Trading Company,
Waco, Texas.
DEAR SlR:-I have carefully read
the competitive articles handed me
by you, aud it is my opinion that the
one numbered II is entitled to the
prize offered you for the best article
descriptive Of the Waco Trading
Company's store. There were several
other articles Of merit-perhaps equal
in most respects to the one to which
awarded the prize-but they did not
measure up so nearly to the rules of
the contest which required descrip-
ton of the store. Notable among
these were NUMBER II, an acrOStlC,
and number 9, which was in the char
acter Of letter written by a visitor in
Waco to an absent friend. Had the
writer's of these two articles deal,
more closely with the store itself the
issue would have been in doubt.
Very truly,
GEO. BYRNE.
Following is the article to which
the prize was awarded as explained
above. 1t is from the pen of Mrs
II. II. Hill and its merit is there I,
speak for itself:

Upon taking charge of the admin
istration of the government on the 4th
of March President Cleveland will
find the treasury in a very different
condition from that in which he left
it in 1899. Then there was large
surplus, indicating that the people
were being taxed more heavily than
was necessary. Now there is deficit
and the treasury officials are debating
whether to raise money by selling
United States bonds or to tide over af-
fairs until Mr. Cleveland comes in and
let him grapple with the question.
By the latter course too Mr.. Cleveland
and the Democratic party would have
to bear any odium which might be in
Cured, Notwithstanding the necessity
for the bonds has arisen from the ex-
agance and profiigacy of the outgoing
administration. AS the present Off
Gals appear unable to manage the
finances without increasing the nation
al debt it might be well to let Mr..
Cleveland and his Cabinet take hold
of the matter. The New York Sun
makes the point that Secretary Foster
can not legally sell the bonds and that
an act of Congress authorizing the
issue must first be passed.

u. s. Minister Stevens appears to
have partially solved the Hawaiian
question. Without waiting to receive
instructions from the government he
has taken the bull by the horns and
set up a protectorate, formally pro,
claimed and established by sufficient
naval force, and his action appears to
have been recognized as proper by the
Representatives of other powers, who
have also recognized the provisional
government. The provisional govern
ment will have to give place to per
manent government, and it will yet
have to be determined whether such
a government can be established and
a protectorate formed over it, OF
whether the United States will have
to take actual possession of the is
lands. President Harrison ON We'd
nesday sent a message to Congress re-
commencing annexation.

The Review of Reviews.

The Revie,c Of Rerie'cs for February appeals
with uncommon force to men of action and
men of affairs in the large and small cities of
the United States. 1t is full of timely dis
cussion upon such questions as the munich
cal ownership of gas and electric lighting
works, the problems of city transit and adj
ministration, the gifts of millionaires for
public purposes in their respective home cities
and such practical questions as the inheritance
tax The beauty of the treatment of these
questions by the RecieU Of Recie,cs lies in its
freedom from mere theory and dissertation
and its reliance upon plenty OF solid and
timely facts One can always go to the Re
| view of Rerielrs without disappointment
The feature of the February number that will
perhaps attract most attention of all is Mr..
W. T. Stead's great character sketch OF the
late Jay Gould, an English journalist dealing
with as distinctive an American character as
our new Western civil ization has produced.
