THE aAsoMErER ON NEW JERSEY AVENUE.
Several days ago the attention of the Com

ferred to the inspector of buildings for

The bill introduced in the Senate yesterday
by Senator Morgan, eoncsdedly having refer
euce 70 the form Of government of Hawaii in
case Of annexation, is understood to have the
full approval Of the President and his Secretary

Mr.. Wilder Of the Hawaiian commission said

BILL nor OF the views of the administration upon
the subject. but it was exactly what the COM
missioners desired for the islands in case an
nexation was decided upon.
I'VE must have something Of the kind" he
continued. for the present at least. There
must be some provision made by which the
native population will be prevented from taking
hold of affairs and returning to the condition
which obtained before the revolution II the
right of suffrage be conferred upon the resi-
dents of the Islands the natives are numerous
enough TO elect the candidates supported by
them. While they are bright, intelligent and
good takers" Mr.. Wilder continued, 'they are
not broad and comprehensive in their views Of
things and can see nothing beyond the coniine,

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
have read very carefully Mr.. NJ. C. Buffers
bill providing home for aged and infirm col
ored people, and can not find reason to Justify
MIR. Butler or any one else in taking the balance
due and unclaimed from deceased colored SOL
diers to erect a home for a race Of people who
should have learned by this to put their hands
into their own pockets and provide homes for
their aged and infrm as other people have
done. The money due and not claimed prop
erly belongs to the soldiers homes and should
be properly apportioned among them. There
are many old soldiers who will see to il that
this fund will not be diverted in the direction
named by Mr.. Butler and that people who
can afford to cast to the winds thousands of
dollars yearly, excurting up and down the Po-
tomac and elsewhere, and who build church
edifices worth s75,0 900 and $50 900, will not get
the benefit Of a dead soldiers labor when they
are old and infirm. j. r. BAIIAnD

Cholera and Immigration

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
/ read statement in your paper credited to
Senator Hansbrough in which he sets up his
judgment against that of most of the good
sound headed men of this country who have
expressed themselves on this important matter.
The question asked today by men of all classes
is, why let this crowd of cholera-stricken
people continue to come to our land at this
critical timer" Steamship companies are ready
to carry any thing in the shape of man, cholera
or no cholera Manufacturing institutions are
also ready to say come, because they want to
secure cheap help. What do they care if this
country loses million of her people by a
terrible plague if they can only make them
selves millionaires?
1t seems to be the general opinion among
good physicians that the danger is great of the
plague spreading all over the land during the
next two years. Shall their Judgment be
ignored?
No! Let immigration be stopped. I speak
the mind of million mothers and fathers whose
love for their children is great. The American
people as a mass cries out: ''Stop immigration
for Six months at least,'' M.V.B.
