The WEISER SIGNAL.
THURSDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1893.
CONGRESS TAKES ITS DOSE.

covery that we have a constitution
and that said constitution makes
it his duty to deliver such message
Whether he made any further exami-
nation into the said constitution he
does not say, but we judge not from
his references to silver and Hawaii
He speaks at length of the disturb
ances in South American govern
ments, with which sI' maintains
friendly relations. He is satisfied
that Cinnamon are opposed to the
Geary law, but hears that they will
now register and avert any need to
call up the question of deportation
Our relations with England are bully
John Bully, as it werel Honduras
skins back the shot she fired at our
American steamer. He is happy to
inform congress that the relations
between the Liberians on San Pedro
river and the French government are
most pleasant and the former have
coded a little territory to the latter,
which information will greatly assist
congress in its labors. He looks at
the Nicaragua in the right light and
the SIGNAL heartily endorses him
there. His story of Modern Samoa
is of political interest and justifes
about five ''sticks" of the message.
His article on Turkey and ''compli-
cations" relating thereto, we did not
read, supposing it referred to the
Thanksgiving clash between himself
and Pennoyer, but from its length we
judge he warmed Sylvester up in
good shape. He opens the Hawaiian
matter by reference to the firm man
ner in which he yanked away the
Senate's prerogative and withdrew
from that body the question of annex
alton which it had under considera-
ton. The Queen, he says, was put
of the throne most unpolitely, so she
was, and she should be put back and
her pardon axed, but he deigns not to
utter word as to what his instruc-
tions to the new minister are. The
matter is given in the form of serial
and is "to be continued" when con-
gress will be told what to do. He
says the repeal of all silver laws was
Creature" that will be "far-reach-
ing we do not doubt that in the
least], but yet he--he-har-r -dly-
knows "what conditions will be
brought about by the change" He
surely has not been listening to the
tickings of the telegraph. But, says
he, it is first necessary to re-establish
confidence and the money which has
been frightened into its hole will
come whooping back into the arena
but, by Godl gentlemen, you are
not TO monkey with s'alluring and
temporary" expedients, but leave
silver distinctly alone until the folks
over at Brussels brussels up like a
turkey gobler and fixes the thing. He
is quite hurt, feels awful bad, in fact
that the authority given the secretary
Of the treasury isn't clear enough in
the matter of issuing bonds, and the
bonds are entirely out Of whack in
the matter of interest and time of
maturity. His meaning is cunningly
obscure, but we are led to believe
he intends to indicate that the inter
est is too low and that they mature
too quick-should be made perpetual
and if ever paid to still remain in
force-and that the treasury machin-
cry for issuing them is out of date
and should be replaced by more rapid
machinery and Of greater capacity.
He gives us the good news that more
than 1000 Firms, Poles, Swedes,
Huns, Dagoes, etc, have come over
to join the American family this fiscal
year, Of which 500 were sent home
after their folksl Nothing about
stopping the deadly swarm of blight
ing verminl Congress should not
lag in the war department. Battle
fields are being marked. Opposes
the fee system in the departments OF
justice. Goodl He gives lengthy
postal statistics and says there is
room for Improvement He gives
one true American and patriotic ring
lso far between] when he speaks Of
the navy. He says build 'er up,
build er upl Good again He says
there are glazing frauds in the pen,

posed, but no injustice is intended il
