slueu over Dy VIGOROUSLY absolute
woman, and all for no higher or better
purpose than that of trying to convince
the people that ex-President Harrison
was participater in a corrupt scheme
for the annexation of Hawaii.
1t is no wonder that M. Cleveland
and his cabi, ct are awaiting with fear
and trepidation the news from Hawaii
that will tell of the strangling of a re.
public and the setting up Of monarchy
by their willing tool, Minister Willis.
The manner in which the dastardly deed
was done. if it be yet done, means much
for the future OF Grover Cleveland. It
may mean simply an unbleachable
blotch upon his name as an American
and president, or Il may mean his i'm
parchment upon high constitutional
grounds and disg aceful exit from pub
lie life. Nearly every democratic con
gresham at present in Washington has
either privately or publicly condemned
Mr. Cleveland for helping to restore the
monarchy of Hawaii.
Ever since, the elections the admins
tration has been trying to placate those
democratic senators and representatives
who have openly protested against the
unjust treatment of pensioners which
has been such conspicuous feature of
Hoke Smiths management of the pen
sion bureau. Not only have the pension
officials shown an alacr tv in restoring
the names OF suspended pensioners at
the request of democratic congressman,
but, in the case of two Indiana men who
had been suspended and whose restora-
ton to the roll had been demanded by
Senator Voorhees,, they not only res.
tored their names to the roll but also
increased their pensions. The reason
was obvious. Senator Voorhees, had OPP
emily stated his intention to make set
speech earl in the coming session Of
congress against the manner in which
pensioners have been treated by this adj
minietration, and the administration will
try to prevent his doing it, by honoring
all of his demands Senator voorhees,
said, just before leaving for bis home,
that he had fully made up his mind to
] oh hot OF bn
pension policy, A similar speech may
be made in the house by Representative
ocrats to protest against the pension
policy, and who told Hoke Smith months
ago that it would if persisted in wreck
the democratic party.
If Mr.. Cleveland continues to increase
the number of prominent members OF
his party with whom he holds NO per
sonal intercourse at the same rate Shat
he has done since last March he will
soon be sat outs with every prominent
democrat in public life. 1t might haye
been supposed that the course taken by
Senator Mills upon the silver question
would have made him stand particularly
well with Mr.. Cleveland, but apparently
it did not, as Mr.. Cleveland not only re-
fused to grant the only favor that Sen
ator Mills has ask Vi of him, but he did
it in such a manner as to insult the
Texas senator, who will probably bide
his time for getting even" just as Vice
President Stevenson, Senator Vest and
others are doing.
1t is now stated with much positive
ness that the free-traders among the
democratic members Of the house WAYS
and means committee have triumphed
and that the new tariff bill is to be made
about as radical as it we'll can be made,
but the statement has not caused much
uneasiness for the very simple reason
that the more radical the bill is made
the less probability there is of its becom-
ing law. The number of democrats in
congress who will refuse to vote for rad
ieal cuts in the tariff is every day be-
coming larger.
Mr.. Cleveland paid mysterious visit
to New York this week, which created
quite a commotion IN Washington for a
few hours, because of report that he
had gone there to have a dangerous OPP
GRAFTON performed upon himself, Your
correspondent has it from a Trustworthy
source that his real object was to con
suit with certain Wall street bankers
upon financial matters.
