BERMUDA ONIONS.
They Are in the Dumps Owing
to the Tariff.

BERMUDA, Nov. 29.-The tariff ques-
ton is greatly agitating the farmers all
over the Bermudas, and many, in the
belief that the mission of the delegates
sent by the colonial government to
Washington to secure a reduction
on onions and potatoes would result
favorably, planted large fields of
both vegetables. The delegates
have returned, and, as yet, they cannot
see any light on the subject. In fact.
they are worse off than before. The
farmer is in debt and relies upon this
product to help him out; instead, he is
further in debt than before. He claims
that this is caused by the high tariff.
Ore of the largest onion growers on the
Islands says that he carefully read the
matter as laid before congress by the
\ colonial delegates, and that the most
Important fact to be presented was
omitted, viz: That if the tariff was not
reduced it would eventually stop the
expectation of onions and potatoes en-
tirely. Indeed. already many farmers
are considering seriously the idea

nAWAIIAN SYMPOSIUM.
Prominent Men Express Them
selves Upon Sandwiches.

NEW YORK, Dec. 3.-The Hawaiian
situation is the subject of an important
symposium in the December nuniberio of
the North American Review, which Will
he published tomorrow. Eugene Tyler
Chamberlain contributes an article EN-!
titled "The Invasion of Hawaii" i'll
which he maintains that the broad prih,
cfples laid down in Daniel WebSter's
instructions to the United States
representative at Honolulu in 1851
were the rule of conduct of the
MIR. Chamberlain reviews the circum-
stances connected with the dethrones
ment of Queen Liliuokalani. He recalls
also the action of the English govern
ment in 1S43, when England restored to
Kamehameha LII. the Hawaiian islands,
which he had surrendered under duress
OF the guns of an English ship OF war.
Hon. William M. Springer, in am
article entitled Our Present Duty,p
contends that the only honorable course
open to the United States Is to restore
the queen to the throne. inasinuch $
she was displaced only by superior
force OF American troops.
I'VE have no more right" he says,
ITO interfere with the government of
hawaii than we have to interfere with
China, Japan or Turkey, none of which
are Christian or administered by Chris
tlan statesmen, and none of which we
have right to assume are any more
just to the subjects of such government
than is the monarchy of Hawaii to its
subjects. Such claim would make the
United States the moral and religious
arbitrator OF the world. 1t is not the
restoration of the monarchy which is in
issue, but it IS the restoration of the

armed Intervention of the United
States"
Mr.. Springer INDUCES the hope that
the example of our own government and
the advantages of our civilization may
soon induce the Hawaiians. acting upon
their own Judgment, to suppress their
monarchy and establish in its place
republican form of government. But it
is education and not armed intervention
that would bring about this revolution,
what every American citizen must
desire.
Hon. John L. Stevens. who was
United States minister in Hawaii when
the queen was dethrOned, makes
powerful plea for annexation. The

now before the American people, he
says, will deeply affect the moral

Washington Post.
In any war of the future in which the
United States may become involved her
armies will be literally supplied with
trained sharpShooters, the terror of
officers and artillerymen. During the
late war the value Of this class Of marks
men was demonstrated even by the
crude material which formed Berdon's
sharpshOoterS and other similar
organizations on the Union side, and the
famous Mississippi and Arkansas
squirrel-shooter riflemen in the Con-
federate armies. The large record of
casualties among officers of high rank
on both sides was due in a great meas
ure to the unerring aim of sharpshooters
concealed from view in their covert
abode.
Gen. G.. W. Flagler, chief of ordnance.
UNITED States Army, said that he was
taking much interest i'll the subject of
craftsmanship in the regular army,
and had formulated plan of bringing
that branch Of the service up to high
state of proficiency. Approaching the
necessity OF reliable sharpshooters in
the battles OF the future. the govern

department has provided a series of
handsome gold, silver and bronze
badges as trophies and distinguished
marks in the army, to he competed for
by privates and non-commiSsioned
officers.
There are massive gold badges for
division and regimental contests; Silver
badges for the cavalry and infantry, and
neat individual badges, each of which
becomes the personal property of the
winner, to. keep for all time. Speci-
mems OF these handsome designs are eX-
hibited in case at General Flagler's
office in the war department.
The sharpshOOter badge is silver

which is the inscription in plain black
letters, "Sharpshooters. Another de-
sign is a silver bar inscribed Marks

former and latter is that Sharpshooter
must earn his laurelS on a 1,000-yard rifle
range, while the marksman is only re-
quired to attain certain average over a
300-yard range. The Sharpshooter in
each regiment making the best score, up
to certain percentage, is then entitled
