HA WAII.

The Hawaiian situation remains
unchanged. As Minister Willis rath-
err pompously declares, 1.-THE whole
question is now in allegiance, and
nothing that newspapers can say or
do will alter the statement one iota."
We presume the press of the country
will bear up fairly well under this
blow. Willis was sent on by the adj
minstration to restore the mon
archy, but he reports that Con
tingencies" have arisen which induce
him to await further instructions
from Washington before proceeding
to put Liluokalani on her throne
again. Meantime the provisional
government holds the fort. 1t may
be that these contingencies" will
develop so fully as to change admin
istration's mind on the Hawaiian
question. The country is anxious to
know just what is to be done on
these islands, where American inter
ests are so largely involved, and
good deal may depend on the next
move that is made.

DECLINED WITH TIA NKS.

The hue and cry raised all over
the country against the nomination
of Van Allen as ambassador to
Italy in return for his fitty-thousand-
dollar contribution to the democrat
ic campaign fund, has had its effect.
At least Mr.. Van Allen has written
the president, declining to accept the
position, after being confirmed by
the senate; and the protest of the
people against so open political
bargain must be regarded as having
a great deal to do with Mr.. Van
Aliens declining.
The gentleman in question does
not deny that he gave largely to the
campaign fund, and says he was i'm
PEELED so to do by a belief that "a
continuance of republican supremacy
would be a hindrance to national
progress" etc. However well or
poorly founded that belief may be,
the sending of Mr.. Van Allen to Italy
as our representative was felt to be,
under the circumstances, by leading
lights in his own party, a very dis
creditable proceeding; aud it is
matter for congratulation that the
appointee has taken the hint and
declined with thanks.
The tempest stirred up by this ap-
pointment should prevent the con-
su;nation of similar bargains by
either party.

THE MESSAGE.

President Cleveland's message was
read to congress on Monday of this
week, and it takes eight columns of
small type to get the document out
into the light where the public can
see what there is in it. The message
contains suggestions and recommend
atoms on matters of vitalimportance
to the nation, bat nothing especially
new is set forth. Considerable in
terest was felt in what Mr.. Cleveland
might say about Ha wall, but his al
fusion to this question is compare
lively brief. No definite action hav-
ing been taken as yet, he promises to
communicate again with congress
when further advices are received by
him. The following summary of the
points in the message is taken from
the Boston Journal, and will give
our readers a fair idea of the presi-
dents views on national issues
The message opens by saying that
while our foreign relations have not been
free from perplexity, no embarrassing
situation remains that will not yield to
fairness or justice.
Admiral Stanton's salute to Admiral
Mello is disavowed.
Minister Egan OF Chile is rebuked for re-
seving unsuccessful revolutionists into
his official residence.
There has been little friction with
certain OF the South American countries,
but it is all right now.
French aggression in Liberia is repro
bated.
The hope is expressed that the Near
aqua Canal project may be accomplished
under American auspices.
1t enlarges upon the "Impolcy of en-
tangling foreign alliances" as instanced
in the United States-Samoan-British pro-
tectorate OF Samoa.
1t recommends that congress make
recognition to Spain Tor the gift OF the
caravels.
Turkey is notified that American mis-
sionaries must and shall be protected.
II gives a recapitulaton of the
Hawaiian matter, and states that the
president is satisfied from Mr.. blount's
report that the constitutional govern
ment OF Hawaii had been subverted with
the active aid of Minister Stevens and
through The intimidati OF armed United
State forces. Minister Willis has been
ordered to restore the monarchy rs far
as lies in his power.

efficient.
1t summarizes the report OF the eecrc-
tary of the treasury and gives coinage
and bank statistics. The deficit in the
treasury Nov. 1 was 28.000,0O0
The effect of silver repeal, in the opinion
of the president, is salutary and far
reaching. but it is impossible to say pre-
cisely what changed conditions will be
brought about or what supplementary
legislation will be essential. We must
turn away from alluring expedients."
The president wants authority to invite
an International monetary conference
when there is fai1 prospect of agree
ment.
A more efficient national quarantine is
recommended.
As there can be no more Indian out
breaks, the redistribution Of the army is
recommended.

system as applicable to the compensa-
ton of United States attorneys, marshals,
clerks and commissioners.
A more sensible and business-like
organization OF the postmaster generals
department is recommended.
The president is in favor of consistent
naval development, but congress must
consider the depleted treasury and be
careful in making appropriations.
He AYERS that there are thousands OF
fraudulent pensioners on the rolls.
The abolition of Indian tribal relations
is urged, and the allotment of land in
severalty.
Laws for the preservation OF the for
ests are especially recommended.
The gratituous distribution of seeds by
the agricultural department is costly and
oflittle avail; it should be stopped.
The president is more than ever con-
WINGED of the incalculable benefits con-
ferred by the civil service law.
Tariff pledges must be redeemed. While
adhering to the principle OF revenue
only" discriminating care must be
exercised in the distribution of such
duties" Free raw material is urged.
The Wilson bill cordially recommended.

Gov. Lewelling of Kansas has
great scheme in mind-the construc-
ton of a gulf and interstate rail
road, which will enable Western
farmers to carry their products
across the Atlantic "at a saving OF
millions of dollars annually" Ten
states are to be asked to aid in build
ing the line, which will extend from
the British possessions to the Gulf OF
Mexico. This is gigantic enter
prise, the successful issue of which,
while not impossible, is likely to be
delayed for some time yet.
Another official head has dropped
into the basket, at St. Adams, and
C.S. Forbes is superseded by A. l..
