AN IMPORTANT CIRCULAR.

Superintendent II. G. MoTerney Of the
Eareka Con. Mining Company received q
batch of circulars a few days since from
Hugh N. Camp, Treasurer Of the St.
Joseph Lead Company, with the request
that he use every effort to have the arti-
Gle widely distributed both personally
and through the press. The circular
treats Of a subject that is Of vital i'm
portance to the mining industry Of this
State and Eureka District in particular
the question of lead. That our readers
may be enabled to more fully understand
what injury will be done in sections pro-
ducing lead ores by the clauses in the
Tariff bill now before Congress, we here
with publish the contents OF the circular.
The SENTINEL hopes that the newspa-
pers Of Nevada will lend q helping hand
10 this matter, and assist in warding of
this additional blow directed at one OF
the chief industries Of the State. The
circular reads as follows:
The Tariff bill imposes a tax OF 10 per
cent ad v~alorem on lead dross and on
lead II lead ore, and allows all lead in
ore which is higher in silver value than
in lead value to come in free. The pro-
vision in either clause will parslyze the
lead industry in this country.
The former will be Is per cent on the
lead price ct Spanish or Mexican ports,
which price is not above the equivalent
of II cents por pound, or say. about 10
cent per pound duty. The latter means
free lead in vast quantities, or allowing
that lead comes in half and half on the
above schedules the duty on the total
quantity will be on the average only 10
cents per 100 pounds. AT present that
would mean refined lead laid down at
SO 80 to 50 40 in New York city, which
price for lead would net only about 1t
cents per pound to the Western shipper.
Any American mine owner can calculate
where he will come out on that. Nor
must we be deceived by the specious
plea of those who desire this low tariff,
and say that the demand from America
will advance tho European market to q
81 cent limit, for the best authorities
state that Spain. Australia and Mexico
can turn out so. 900 tons per annum from
their reserves without advancing prices
more than one.quarter Of q cent per
pound.
We. therefore. ~strenuously urge every
miner to write to his Congressman and
Senators q protest against these lead
clauses, and we also urge every mining
camp to organize q movement against it
and to unite and form a general State
and to have them organize q
central committee. We urge all officers
Of lead mining companies to write and
authorize Hugh N. Camp, of So Liberty
street, New York, to attach their names
TO 9 petition to the Committee Of Ways
md Means praying them to alter the bill
70 Is TO give lead in ores, Dresses, etc.,
} reasonable protection. The amount Of
the product Of their several mines should
also be added, so IS TO give weight and
value to the petition. Work in this di.
will pay better than mining just

WHAT GETS THEN

The aorobatic performances Of some OF
the Democratic Senators is beginning to
attract general attention. Several OF
them have recently been known to change
their opinions upon the questions Of the
day in the most radical manner. 1t is
significant that the change is always to-
ward ''the other end Of the avenue"
Voorhees,, the veteran Senator from In
diana, had always been a staunch friend
OF bimetallism. But he abandoned his
opinion in Difference to the White House
and voted for the repeal OF the Sherman
Act. There is an ill-natured rumor
shoat that all the Voorhees, family have
been provided with postmasterships n
tirely beyond their deserts. II must be
said that the "Tall Sycamore Of the Wa.
bash" always exhibited a shifty ten
dency. In the war times. then better
known as Dan Voorhees,, he turned many
sharp corners. But more stability was
expected from other Democratic Sena-
tors who have recently shifted their
ground, apparently at the command OF
Mr.. Cleveland, or to curry favor with
him. II was not generally supposed that
Senator Morgan of Alabama held his
opinions lightly, or was likely to change
them at the dictation Of anybody. But
at first he was very much opposed to the
silly antics Of the administration on the
Sandwich Islands. 1t is now said that
be looks upon them with a more lenient
eye, and is more likely to become the
a~pologist of the administration than its
impartial critic,

WHAT THE PRESIDENT MAY DO.

Mr.. j. Alexander of Oakland
puts IN the following form a ques-
ton that has been often asked
EDITOR MORNING CALL: In consider
ing the assumption that the Provisional
Government of Hawaii, established to
exist until Hawaii is annexed to the
United States, ceases to exist when
President Cleveland rejects its applica.
ton for annexation, permit me to in
quire whether it is within the preroga-
tive of Mr. Cleveland to decide whether
foreign territory shall be annexed to the
United States. and whether therefore his
attempted rejection of annexation will
have any meaning? The determination
of the Presidents prerogative in his
dealings with Hawaii may be as i'm
portant as the acquisition of valuable
new territory.
The President of the United
States may submit proposed treaty
to the Senate, or he may withhold
one. His submission of one implies
such favorable action on his part as
may be necessary, III the event of
the ratification of the proposed
treaty by the Senate, to its procla
nation as an agreement binding
upon the Governments that are
parties to it. The action of Pres
ident Cleveland in Withholding the
proposed Hawaiian treaty was in
accordance with the provisions of
the Constitution. The proposition
[ 20 o,,ax, Tho Ie1oaJ, ;,,,o1,-aJ =,
matter Of policy which an incoming
President has a right to dissent
from. The submission of the treaty
by President Harrison was not in
the nature of an act accomplished
which succeeding President was
bound to recognize. The rejection
of the annexation proposition by
President Cleveland will have the
meaning of postponement. There
is no process known to the consti-
tuition by which the President can
be forced to a policy Of which he
does not approve. Public opinion
may induce him to change his
, course, but neither Congress MOI
the courts can compel him to so long
as he acts within the limitations
the constitution places upon his
Office. There is no ground for the
assumption that the Presidents
| action is not final during his adj.
ministration if he chooses to make
it So But there is no necessary
, limitation to the existence Of the
Provisional Government, except
that it shall cease to exist when the
| Islands become a part Of the United
? States. Mr.. Cleveland may be able
to prevent annexation during hi:
term; but not after his term expires
/ If the Provisional Government
should maintain its authority unit
March 4, 1897, and if the succeed
ing administration should favor an
nexation, the act might then be
accomplished Call

BRITISH STRATEGY.

Certain British representatives
here are engaged in spirited game
of bluff which they may as well
know has been fairly measured and
can have no effect upon the deter
mined stand of the supporters of
the Hawaiian Government against
the return of the monarchy to
power.
For the last fortnight it has been
their policy to drop, with an mad
vertance that is studied, the remark
that five minutes after the Queen
has been restored the flag of Brit
ish protectorate will have been
raised. Obviously, if this is the
real intent, the matter would now
be kept in the confines of diplo-
matte silence and the fact that
such action is freely limited abroad
proves its total insincerity. As
suredly the tale has no other object
than to make the supporters of the
Provisional Government feel that
resistance to Cleveland's unconsti-
tutional diftNm would be rash and
futile because they would have
Great Britain to deal with as well
as the American marines.
It may be set down as a self
evident proposition that, whatever
conflict he may be in with the Ha-
waiian authorities, Mr.. Cleveland
will not abandon the Monroe doc
trine, as would be done by his per-
hitting foreign interference on this
soil. Once surrendered here that
doctrine could not be enforced any
where else; and as it is one that is
vital to America it must be sturdily
No administration
could escape impeachment which
should formally or constructively
yield it up, particularly to aid the
designs Of Great Britain.
AS to Mr.. Cleveland, his views ON
the matter are perfectly we'll known.

AN ISDEFENsIBLE PROCEED Nc.

n
After months of opportunity for
consideration, the Administration
that now controls the official acts
of the United States has decided to
suppress the Government which the
best residential elements i'll Hawaii
had set up on the ruins of one OF
the rottenest thrones ever sat on by
debauched and debauching mon
archy and to give such moral sup
port as this country has entrusted
to its care to the woman who claims
by descent and by divine right
authority to sell the interests Of her
Subjects to the highest bidding
lottery sharks and the opium SNUG
glers who will divide most literally
with her majesty the proceeds of
their illegal acts. The uprising of
the better elements of Hawaiian
population, sympathized with by a
vast majority of the American peo-
pie, is therefore to be nulifed by
influences that while officially
American are more nearly Brit
ish in the manner of their work
ing. With American residents
owning more than one-half of
Hawaiian property and conducting
the greater portion of Hawaii's
trade and with practical acqui-
escence by most of the natives in
the situation as it was before Min
lister Paramount Blount was in
iected therein, this Government
concludes to upset conditions that
are at least semi-satisfactory, elects
to encourage conspiracy and pro
yoke bloodshed, joins hands with
the outlaws who have manufactured
the uproar against the republican
idea and all to the end that a far
from admirable specimen of woman
hood be reclad with power to work
great evil. To say that such a
position is an astounding one is to
speak mildly,
That the course of the admins
tration is indefensible must be ev-
ident to all reasonable people. 1t
matters not now how the revolution
was brought about; that it occurred
is history, but with those causes
the President can have nothing to
do. Both President Harrison and
President Cleveland have recognized
the Provisional Government as a
power, the latter having sent to
that Government two representa-
tives. President Cleveland might
withdraw the American Minister if
he simply desired to let the two
factions fight it out among them
selves; that would be an unfriendly
act. But to- drag the throne from
out the royal woodshed and after
busting it off with the frizzled hopes
of honest Americans, replace the
low comedy Queen on its cushions
is an act ofhostility toward friendly
power which neither the Americans
Of Hawaii nor those of the United
States are likely to forget. Re-
sponsibility for the destruction Of
American interests md influence i'll
Hawaii and for bloodshed and loss
of life, which may result from the
effort of the great republic to bolster
up rotten pro- English monarchy,
will be upon the administration OF
President Cleveland. And the
burden will be heavy. washington
