Secretary Morton wan Keep Efficient Men
in His Department.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March IL
Secretary Hoke Smith has set a hot
pace for his subordinates in the amount
of hard work he does each day with
comparative ease. He does not, how
ever, reach his office moment too early
to suit the crowd Of office-seekers, many
OF whom he finds when he arrives wait
ing around the doors OF the department
until the hour OF o'clock errives, when
they are admitted TO the building.
Secretary Morton to-day plainly indl-
Gated his purpose OF retaining the ef-
ficient EN- ployes OF the department with
out regard to their politics. Several OF
the experienced employees OF the depart
ment will shortly be notified that no
change will be made In their positions.
The Secretary desires to bring the de-
partment Of agriculture up to the high
est degree Of usefulness, with view to
BETTING the farmers OF the country.

Hnl,. Can on Cleveland.

New YORK, March 11.-Referring TO
Senator HIPS cali upon President
Cleveland the Washington correspon-
dent Of the Herald says: Politicians
have come TO the conclusion that Sena-
tor Hills visit to President Cleveland
has no special significance. 1t is now
assumed that Senator Hill merely called
in common with other Senators and
Representatives so that q continued
staying away from the White House
would cause no comment. 1t is quite
likely Senator Hill assured President
Cleveland that the latter's administra-
ton would be supported by every means
that lies in the Senator's power.

+ WAR WITH ENGLAND.

By reference TO the correspondence
of Robert Graves, in the last issue of
THE PRoGREss, it will be seen that it
is the opinion of able statesmen that
the annexation of Hawaii to the
United States means inevitable war
with England. The reason assigned
for this opinion is that Hawaii is the
kew TO the Pacific, aud that England
will never give her up without Il re
course to arms, aud her defeat by
this means.
In our opinion var with England
is bound TO come 0oner or later, and
Ue Relieve in the D distant future.
The United States and Great Britain
NOW ,tapd as the rival nations OF the
world. While there is apparently the
uttermost friendly relations existing
betwoen them, there is continually
growing the ambition to be queen
of the world, the recognized lord OF
creation. Both claim it IN spLrlt
now. and this Of course Will
discontinue to arouse sprl'
resentment Believing then
as we do, that it is only matter OF a
few years anyway, we say annex
Hawaii, if it will rebound to our ben
oft as some claim, let the conse
ouences be war with England. W.
do not wish to be understood as court
ing war with this great Nation; ia
from it: but if the point has beel
reached that England has become s.
domineering that the United State
dare not acquire possessions, no"
ever honest and legitimate, withou
coming IN conflict with graspin
and bullying Nation, we say let tn
fight commence. or rather, acquir
these profitable possessions, thong
its price be declaration OF war fror
England.
In taking this position we do
with full consciousness of the terribl
results. We take into considerable
the powerful, perfect navy whic
Great Britain can speedily put iot
active service, but We likewise tax
into consideration the fact, to OF
satisfaction at least, that war is ine'
table anyway, and we might as we
have it now as to wait until Englan
has acquired all the valuable acce
sions and points of advantage, an

will try it, because nothing but
GOOD, irst-class whipping will que
her domineer.ng and gr.s ping disp
sition. And whom she does jump o
the United States she will soon res
ize her mistake.
But We must add one proviso, tn
is, that Congress removes Il
present disaualifcations OF Southe
men holding higher offices than fiji
sergeants. For unless the field
promotion is open to all alike, no trr
self-respecting Southerner will stri
