BIount Reports.
WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE president has
appointed James H. Blount, Of Georgia,
envoy extraordinary and minister plenipo-
Tertiary to the Hawaiian island, succeeding
John l.. Stevens, resigned. Blount's COM
mission bears the date of Tuesday and it
will be sent him by the next mail for Hon
olulu. The fact that Blount would lie
transferred from the post of special COM
missioner to make report on the advisa-
bility of annexing the Hawaiian islands to
the United States to the position of minis
ter was announced in these dispatches. ana
since the announcement was made it has
come to be understood that the change was
decided on at the cabinet meeting Tues
day.
Report Received From BIount
A report from Blount, mailed in Homo
lulu during the last week in April, came
to Secretary Gresham Tuesday morning,
and was taken by him TO the cabinet meet
ing. Owing to the confidential character
of the report it's contents are kept secret,
but it is presumed that it contained such
information that the President is determ-
ined to lose no time in commissioning a
new minister to succeed Stevens The
salary of the position is 81 500. This news
has 'leaked' out and it is understood
that the fact of Blount's appointment is
significant of a desire on the part of Presi-
dent Cleveland and Secretary Gresham to
emphasize the fact that Blount represents
their views on the Hawaiian problem.
Cleveland Opposed to Annexation.
They also wish it to be understood that
various Americans, including Minis
ter Stevens and Messrs Rowan and Sewell,
who are now in Hawaii working up a sem
timent favorable to annexation, do not in
any sense represent the views of the admin
istration. The appointment of Blount is
made for the purpose of strengthening his
hands in his dealings with the Hawaiians.
1t was found that a belief was gaining cur
rency in Hawaii that Sewell and other an
nexationists were really the spokesman of
the administration. Blount's appointment
will be a distinct notice that this belief is
baseless.
No Pressure the Hawaiians.
The administration has strongly disap-
proved from the beginning the attempts
being made to win over the Hawaiians to
annexation and has thought that much of
the annexation sentiment in the Sandwich
islands was manufactured. Lately it has
begun to take stronger ground and by in
timations to show that it is unfavorably
inclined toward annexation, though a def
mite policy will likely not be announced
until after Blount. who is proceeding eau
tiously, listening much and talking little,

Whiting for News from Hawaii.

With every added day that the country
is kept in the dark about what the admin
istration means to do in Hawaii the tide of
condemnation of the policy outlined by
Secretary Gresham, and endorsed by the
President, grows stronger. Nothing what
ever is known of the instructions given to
Minister Willis when he was despatched to
Hawaii two or three weeks ago. At first
it was believed that he had been instructed
to demand the restoration of the queen and
to use the United States naval force to en-
force the demand if necessary, but it was
seen that this action would be in effect a
declaration of war on a friendly power,
and the more reasonable surmise is that
Mr. Willis was instructed to demand of the
provisional government the restoration of
the queen, making it clear that it is the
earnest wish of President Cleveland that
this be done, but to use no force until after
communicating with Washington. Moth
ing positive can be known until the arrival
of the next steamer from Honolulu. This
vessel was due at San Francisco yesterday,
but she is a slow-going craft and may not
arrive until tomorrow.
One thing is sure; The American blood
has not been so stirred in many a day.

An Extended Free List, Largely of Raw
MaterIaIs---COnsideri Income and
Corporation Taxes.
The advocates in the ways and means
committee of an extended free list are in
control, and the chances are that the very
liberal free list, which is now contained in
the rough draft of the bill, will be retained,
says the special correspondent of the Bos-
ton Transcript. Pig tin, coal, iron ore,
wool, lumber, salt and silver, lead ore are
now on the free list. AS the bill stands
the duty on tin plate is reduced from 2 2-10
TO one cent.
The committee is now considering the
question of an income tax, and canvass
shows that a minority of one will favor a
small tax on incomes above $4,000. An
effort is being made by those who are
doubtful about an income tax to put in its
place corporation tax such as has been
discussed for the past few days. The ad-
vocates of this proposition expect to have
a majority in the committee, and although
the indications are against them now, they
still hope to win over one or two members
| to their side.

Uncle SANS New Commerce Destroyer.

Uncle Sans New Commerce Destroyer.
When the new war ship, the Columbia,
which came on to Boston early this week
for her official trial trip, was being built
at the Cramps shipyard in Philadelphia,
the workmen named her the Pirate. They
did so partly because of her rakish lines,
but more particularly because she was be-
ing constructed to out-sail any cruiser
ahoat. She is the only steamship ever
built that can carry coal enough to sail
around the world without stopping at a
coaling station. Lightly built and lightly
armed, she resembles externally an inno-
cent merchantman, but in case of need
she can deliver a frightful rain of death
dealing projectiles, and her lightnipg-like
speed can carry her in an instant beyond
the reach of vengeful but heavier enemy.
There are only two sea-going steamships in
existence which could escape her. These
are the two new Cunarders, Campania and
Lucania, and in certain conditions if the
Columbia got after them the race would
have a doubtful ending. The Columbia is
80 feet longer than the New York, six feet
narrower, and her engines are of 1900
more horsepower. She is expected to de-
velop speed of % or % knots an hour.
At an unofficial trial trip Wednesday the
Columbia made the unprecedented record
of 22.S7 knots an hour, which represent
speed of 264 miles an hour. Yesterday
was the day set for the official trial, but it
had to be abandoned because the gale had

looking over the Burlington report, how

in net earnings to take care of S65, 900, 900
increase in funded debt, and S21, 900, 900
increase in capital stock. The writer gives
the above data for the reason that Burling-
ton stock is quite favorable investment
in New England. Rock Island, to my
mind, is a much better investment.
Among many thinking men there have
been grave apprehensons as to whether
our free form of government was a success.
In recent years they have seen certain sec
tions of the country continually robbed,
law detied, indecency winked at; and he
who could lay claim to the greatest crime
seemed to be the most sought after to enter
the citadel of tyranny. This state of affairs
has been particularly true throughout the
states of New York and New Jersey. 1t
now looks as if the corner had been turned,
and demonstration given that the people
can have free government if they are sufi-
ciently aroused. 1t was a grand sight to
see the law-abiding citizens of Brooklyn
voting on election day. 1t was not ques-
ton of Republican or Democratic suprem-
acy, but rather an issue between good
American citizenship, and one of the most
corrupt political rings this country ever
saw, not even excepting the old Tweed
thieves.
Suppose, if you please, for the next five
years every patriotic citizen should forget
whether he was Democrat, Republican,
or what-not, but should support the purest
and best government obtainable. In other
words, pit honesty and decency against dis
honesty and crime, and let the issues be
fought out on that line. In order to have
healthy finances in this country we must
maintain healthy form of government.
Why so little progress in American pol
itics when the progressiveness of steam,
science and electricity has been so marked
during the past few years?
The writer wonders what the results
would be if the law made it imperative for
every citizen to vote. Every voter surely
must pay taxes, and is it not well to have
something to say how these taxes shall be
used?
We fail to discern any improvement in
the business situation since the repeal of
the Sherman law. Were not the doctors
wrong in their diagnosis of the disease? If
the knife is to be thrust into the tariff let
the surgeons proceed quickly, and thereby
remove the cancer of uncertainty.

The citizens of Brooklyn held a mass
meeting of unprecedented numbers and de-
termined spirit Monday evening, to de-
nounce the election crimes at Gravesend
and demand the punishment of their per-
petrators. The foremost men of the city
took part in the proceedings, and resolu-
tions were adopted calling for all the pow
ers of the law to be put in force against
McKane and his gang. A committee of 25
were appointed to assist the officials, and
Gov Flower was urged to appoint one or
more prosecutors especially for this work.
As a result of this demonstration Gov.
Flower has named two special prosecutors,
and there is hope that Boss McKane may
be brought to justice. He is now duck
shooting on the Virginia coast, to rest his
over-strained nerves, but announces that
he will come back whenever he is wanted
