Dishonest Arguments.

1t is evident that the protection inter
ests are combining to make arguments
against the Wilson bill. They are talk
ing about running shorter hours and cut
ting down wages and doing various other
things for the purpose of creating senti-
ment against that bill.
1t has not been six months since they
were saying that the Sherman silver law
was the cause of the depression from
which the industries were suffering.
They were sincere then. There is no
doubt that that law was the cause of the
hard times. Now they are saying that
the Wilson tariff bill is causing bad times,
and they are using that as an excuse for
making times harder by cutting down
wages and running on half time.
The truth is, the Wilson bill isn't going
to hurt any industry, and the manufac-
turers know it isn't. Take the Carnegie
mills, for instance. MIR. Carnegie has re-
Gently announced that the passage of the
Wilson bill would make cut of 40 per
cent. in wages necessary, and yet Mr.
| Carnegie can afford to undersell the
English manufacturers in the very i'm
portant article of steel billets. Recently
the Philadelphia Times said: 'It is not
three weeks since steel billets from his
| Braddock mills claimed the attention OF
London buyers at as cents ton less than
prevailing English prices. This is the
same product selling at Liverpool at
$3.50, which American buyers, right on
the ground at Braddock and Pittsburg,
cannot touch at less than S23."
Why should Mr.. Carnegie say that he
is forced to cut wages or close his mills
because of the Wilson bill, when he car
transport steel billets to Liverpool and
undersell the English manufacturers in
their own markets.
It's evident that what the manufactur
ers are trying to do is to keep up the
tariff so that they can get SOB ton for a
product which they can and do sell in
the English market, after paying the
freight, at ST. go ton. Does not this
instance show, beyond all question, the
necessity for tariff such as is proposed
in the Wilson bilI2

Mr.. Charles Nordhoff, who has taken a
/ great deal of interest in the Hawaiian
! affair, having visited Honolulu as CORE
1 spOndent Of the New York Herald since
/ the revolution of June IA, expresses the
T opinion that Queen Liliuokalani, having
| rejected the Presidents proposition to
/ grant amnesty TO the members of the pro-
! visional government and its adherents in
the event Of her restoration, has no fur
ther claim upon this country. This seems
TO be a very sensible view. The President
never at any time proposed to use force
to restore the monarchy. He took the po-
sitiOn that the representative of this
government at Honolulu, having used the
United States marines TO bring about the
revolution, it was the duty of this gov
eminent to undo the wrong that had been
done through its fundamentally. At
the same time he thought the revolution
lists ought 10 be protected because they
would not have undertaken to overthrow
the legitimate government if they had
not had assurance of the moral support
of the United States minister and United
States marines.
The President has shown his DISPOSE
ton to undo as far as he could the
wrongful act of this government,
and being prevented from carrying out
his purpose by the one who would be the
chief beneficiary of his plan, namely, the
deposed queen, he is not called to inter
fere any further in Hawaiian affairs. He
can now, with honor, say that this gov
ernment will let the Hawaiians settle
their differences as they may think ad-
visable.
Ex-Minister Stevens continues to assert
that it is not true that he had anything
to do with bringing about the revolution.
His reply to the Presidents message is
only reiteration of his former state
ments. That the great majority of
the people do not believe him
is quite evident Even the COM
mittee on foreign affairs has re-
ported a resolution to the House con-
demning him for ordering the United
States marines ashore at time when
their presence was sure to have an intimi-
dating effect upon the members of the
queens government The evidence is
ample that he not only lsympathized with
the revolutionists, but that what he did
made the revolution successful. If he
had maintained an absolutely neutral
position there would have been no revolu-
tiOn.
The suggestion made by Mr.. Nordhoff
is likely to be followed. If the queen re-
fuses to acquiesce in the plan of the Presi-
dent for her restoration, the plan cannot
be carried into effect. If the provisional
government is strong enough to maintain
itself and establish a republic, it is prob
able that a republic will be formed within
the next few months and the provisional
government will go out of existence.

The Barcelona dynamiter has confessed.
He is an anarchist named Condina, and
delights in his fiendish act. 1t will be re-
membered that during a performance
at the Lyceum theater a bomb was
thrown froma gallery, exploding in the
pit and killing upwards of thirty people
When he was arrested and the crime
brought home to him, Condina made a
clean breast Of the whole story, gleefully
detailing the circumstances. The wretch
viii probably be dealt with as he de-
serves, and the authorities will be more
than ever strengthened IN their determi-
nation to crush the serpent OF anarchy.

John Kendrick Bangs, in Harper's Weekly.

The fellow looked me in the eye and laid his

The Pinch gun which, according to our
dispatches Of yesterday, the Notifications
appropriation bill provides for Fort Pu-
lsski, is the heaviest ordnance at present
being built In the United States. It is
but little smaller than the greatest gun
mounted by the British navy, that on the
battleship Benbow. The 12-inch gun on
stationary platform has an effective
range of ten miles, which is as great as
is claimed for the Benbow's gun, mounted
as it is upon the unstable platform of a
ships deck. With such gun at Pulaski,

He is outspoken in denouncing his arrest,

damages against the government for lille

printing about the preparations of the

fight for its supremacy, and their asser-
tions that "the guns of the American war

kind. The demonstrations being made by

Of terrorizing the ignorant natives from

The distinguished appearance of Con-
gresham Lester, of this district, got him
into the wrong place at Washington the
other day. The Senate was in secret ses-
sion, grinding out combinations of post
masters at the rate of about two min
ute, when the congressman strolled up to
the Senate door. The attendant at the
door, new man, being satisfied that
the visitor could possibly be nothing less
than senator, respectfully stood aside
for him to enter. The movement on the
part of the doorkeeper was understood by
the congressman to mean that anybody
might enter who would, so he pushed on
into the chamber. But he had not gone
many feet inside when he was seized by
two Senate officials and marched out
again. And it is said, the officials did
not take their hands from his shoulders
until they had him well down the corri-
dor leading to the House and his face
pointed straight for the door.
