'With a view of accom- plishing this .esult within the constitutional limits ,f the executive power the present at Honolulu has received ap. oropriate instructions to this end. Thus far no information of an accom- olishment of definite results has been Neceived from Hawaii. Additional ed- vices are soon expected.

 A New Financial System.
 Alter quoting statistics from the re- port of the secretary of the treasury, the president says: "The recent repeal of the law requiring the purchase of silver bullion by the government has made an entire change in the complexion of our currency affairs. l do not doubt that the ultimate result of this action will be most salutary and far reaching. After the recent financial perturbation, ti ne ID ACQulI Co lOl bllO IO-OsIa VI business confidence. When, however, through this restored confidence money which has been frightened into hoard ing places has been returned to trade, in a survey the of situation for this object we should resolutely turn away from and temporary expedients, de- termined to be content with nothing less than lasting and comprehensive financial plan. In the circumstances I am convinced that 8 reasonable delay in dealing with this subject, instead of being injurious will increase the proba- bility of wise action." The president recommends further postponement of the Brussels monetary conference and suggests that general authority be given the president to invite other nations to such conference at any time when there is fair prospect of accomplishing an International agreement on the subject q coinage. He also recommends that the existing statutes governing the is- suance of government bonds he amend. ed az the authority of the secretary of the treasury is not sufficiently clear.

 The Navy.
 Ot the navy the president says "While I am distinctly in favor of pursuing the policy we have inaugurated in building up 8 ;hor ough and efficient navy, I cannot refrain from suggesting that congress should carefully take into account the numb Der of unfinished vessels on oul hands and the depleted condition of the treasury in considering the propriety oi an appropriation at this time to begin new work.
 Pension Frauds.

Every name fraudulently put upon these rolls is a wicked imposition upon the kindly sen timent in which the pensions have their origin. Those who attempt, in the lint of duty, to rectify these wrongs should not be accused of en nifty or an indifer. ence to the claims of honest veterans
