A SMOOTH DEAL.

When the question of aiding the I'M
employed was being agitated last fall
the president OF the park board asked
to have $4,000 put into the tax levy for
the parks, so that that amount could be
anticipated from other funds and ex-
pended for Immediate improvement.
1t was depicted that at 81 per day a
great work would be accomplished in
the parks.
At the meeting of the conference
committee yesterday, when little di-
version of the park money was suggest
ed, the president explained that $4,000
had been used for the unemployed,
$4,000 for an overdraft, and it would
require S2S. 0c0 to maintain the parks
next year. Hence the fifty is gone.
Under cover of charitable work, the
park board pays an overdraft and Sc
cures funds for next years malnte-

/ CHICAGO, Dec. 12.-The delegates to
the convention of the American Fedora
ton OF Labor began today's session by
announcing that during their stay in
Chicago they will not attend theaters
where non-union stage workers are en-
ployed. A protest had been sent to the
federation complaining that managers
offour theaters here employ non-union
men, and on this the action was taken.
There was considerable discussion over
a proposition to print 10000 copies of
the speech delivered yesterday by
Henry D. Lloyd. 1t was finally de-
cided to have the pamphlet published
before the convention adjourps. A
delegate moved to allow Gov. Altg cid
to appear and address the convent on.
but was ruled out of order by President
Gompers. A proposition to request
Editor Stead to address the delegates
was also dropped, and David Labin, an
economist from San Francisco, was
called upon for speech. a delegation
OF Chicago ministers was admitted to
the convention, and DR.. d. II. Thomas
made an address, in which he assured
the delegates that he and his fellow
clergymeH are in sympathy with the
federation and its sentiment.
President Gompers thanked the min
listers for their presence. and said: "Too
long has the ministry not talked to the
Workingman but down to him, at the
same time Understanding his force or
character and nobility. We go down
among the great army of the unwashed
and make its followers appreciate their
honor and their rights. As our work is
better understood we will have the CO.

Minister Thurston Ignorant OF the
Situation in Hawaii.


SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 12.-Hawaiian
Minister Thurstou arrived in this city
today on delayed overland train from

today will tell you more than can of
the state of affairs on the islands. AS
explained in an interview at Chicago, L

as to be able to make the earliest pos
sible reply to official communications
reaching me by the steamship Oceanic.

any reason for my pres ence there, but

matter AS anybody else.
Il cannot say what the outcome will

that the provisional government was
never stronger in the support of the
best elements of the Hawaiian people
than it is today. l cannot enter into
any discussion of matters that affect the
relations of the provisional government
with the administration at Washington.

Minister Willis are, and, of course,

Mr.. Thurston declined to say any
thing i'll relation 10 Blount's report in
the way of addition to his published
statement, in which he replies to Ger
tain assertions made by the commits
Sioner and having personal bearing.
81 may remark, however" said the
minister, "that the report of Mr.. Blount
contained many misstatements in mat.
tiers of detail, upon which must now
decline to enter. All of its material
statements in respect to Minister
Stevens have already been completely
disproved. And, no matter what the
sympathieS of Mr.. Stevens may have
been, it remains true that he did MOTH

the circumstances, and acted in strict
accord with his diplomatic instruc-
TONS"
In regard TO the labor problem as af-
fecting annexation, Mr.. Thurston said
that every resident sugar planter ON the
Islands faVors annexation. There are
but three others, who are Claus Spreck-
els. an Engiishman and German. The
fact that all resident planters favor an
neXat ion Mr.. ThurSton regards as a
complete answer to any objection on

Democratic party to afford to every citi-
zen the fullest liberty Of opinion and
suffrage. The right to vote on all oues-
lions of public concern is guaranteed by
the constitution. and the agents of any
party who attempt to interfere with that
privilege are guilty of high crime
against the government and against
free institutions. The federal election
law was conceived in spirit of hostil-
ity to universal suffrage, and the powers
it conferred have been exercised with
the deliberate purpose of DISTINGUISHING
hundreds of thousands of our citizens.
In all the large cities the federal super
visors have undertaken the privilege OF
deciding as to tine qualifications of
electors-a power belonging exclusively
to the judicial officers of the govern
ment. They have threatened Demo-
Gratis with arrest, although knowing
them to be duly qualified electors,
and in New York. Brooklyn, Chicago
and other cities have been guilty
of the most fragrant abuses of power.
Under the direction of John l. Daven-
port more than 5000 arrests were made
en- the last presidential election day. the
pretense being that the parties so ar
rested were about to vote in violation of
law. When the cases came to trial all
were dismissed on Dayenport's own
motion save two; and these, after full
hearing, were discharged by the court.
BY these tactics Davenport reduced the
Democratic majority in New York. but
fortunately failed in his purpose Of
| giving the state to the Republican can
didates.
This outrageous relic of oppression
and political intolerance should be OBJ
liberated from the statute books, and
Senator Hill will deserve we'll of the
country if he shall succeed in securing
its repeal. If the Republicans shall
succeed in preventing the repeal, they
should be treated to a liberal dose of
their own medicine. If they shall be
| made to feel its oppressiyeness by hav-
ing their voters hustled to prison on
! election day at the caprice of an ire
sponsible official clothed in little brief
authority, they may learn where the
shoe pinches. The pretense that the
law is necessary in order to secure fair
and free elections is absurd and unwar-
| ranted by the facts. The Democrats
are as deeply concerned in the effort in
that direction as the Republicans, and
will commit no act whereby the right of
every qualified citizen to cast vote
shall be abridged. or by means of which
any person not legally entitled to the
privilege shall be permitted to exercise

iican protective policy.
Mr.. Cullum-l do say that the con-
duct which l have described as having
occurred in New York state, which in
my Judgment gave the majority to the
Democratic party, and which resulted
in the election of a Democratic senator,
has been condemned by the people OF
New York, by nearly hundred thou
sand majority, in defeating the Demo-
cratic candidate, Judge Maynard, for
judge.
Mr.. Hi!l-Had the elections anything
to do with the question of the tariff?
MIR. Cullom-No, except that the Dems
ocratic party in convention adopted
platform. and ever since has declared
tllat 1t intended to carry out in law what
1t proclaimed in its platform at Chicago;
and that has alarmed the people and
helped to give the majorities which
have been recently given in favor of the
Republican party and against the Dem
ocratic party.
Mr.. Hill-The senator need not lie
awake nights over any anxiety upon the
subject of whether the Democratic party
proposes TO carry out its pledges upon
the tariff question. | can assure him
that the party does intend 70 carry them
ont faithfully. honestly and impartially.
Mr.. Cullom then went on with his
speech, referring to the pulling down of
the American flag at Hawaii. which
could not have been accomplished by all
the power of monarchcal Europe, but
which had been committed by the order
of an American president upon the adj
vice OF newly baptized Democratic

OF the federal election laws. He soon

TINKERING TARIFF.
Malt Taxed 80 Per Cent Ad VaIo-
rem and Cut Diamonds Re-


uuCeQ.
WASHINGTON, Dec. IL. = Before the
adjournment today the committee on
ways and means completed the Sched-
uleS of the tariff bill and devoted a por-
ton of the afternoon upon the adminis-
tratiye portions of the bill. Republican
members of the committee do not be-
lieve that the bill Will be submitted be-
fore Saturday next. while the Demo-
Gratis insist that twill be reported much
earlier. possibly on Thursday. AL
though forty members OF the house
have requested a caucus on the tariff
bill, it is not sure that the bill will re-
ceive such consideration. Chairman
Holman, of the caucus. to whom the
request was presented. Immediately
held a conference with Chairman
Wilson, of the ways and means
committee, but nothing was definitely
agreed upon. Mr.. Holman was taken
sick before the conference ended,
and went ZONE. If Mr.. Holman
should not recover before the bill is re-
ported it is not likely that he will issue
call for caucus. 1t is now known
that all of the members of the ways
and means com mittee and many of the
leaders of the house on the Democratic
side have no desire for caucus on the
tariff bill. Some of the Democrats who
are most anxious to have changes made
in the schedules are opposed to eau
Gus. They believe that forty or fifty
Democrats can be found who will vote
with the Republicans, and that thereby
the bill can be amended in the house.
When the ways and means committee
took recess at II O'clock today'the
spirits schedule of the tai if bill had
been reached. The sugar schedule was
undlsturbed. The Republican MEM
bers did not make any effort to secure
any change in this schedule. Some talk
was INDUCED in by the Republicans
over rice and peanuts, which still re-
main or the dutiable list, but no amend
mentS were offered
The committee changed the malt
schedule again, increasing it from 25 to
80 per cent ad yalorem. The duty on
cut diamonds has been reduced fro IN Il
per cent i'll the first bill to the pre- sent
rate, 10 per cent.
Among the members who signed the
call for the caucus were: Morgan,
Missouri; Cockrell. Texas; Richardson,
Michigan; Paschall. Texas; Champ,
Clark, Missouri; Smith, Arizona; Kyle,
Mississippi; Capehart, West Virginia;
Stockdale, Mississippi; Anderson, West
Virginia.; Washington, Tennessee; Gull

FEDERAL ELECTION LAWS.


Senator Hill will endeavor to secure
action at an early day on the house bill
for the repeal of the federal election
laws, and there seems to be small doubt
of the passage of the measure before
the holiday recess. The Republican
senators have announced that they will
not endeavor to delay action by obstruct-
i've tactics. They no doubt see that
these would be Of no avail, as thew
would ultimately be defeated, and would
render themselves subject to severe
criticism for delaying necessary legisla-
ton if they should pursue the tactics of
the silver senators on the repeal of the
Sherman bill.
Opposition to the federal election
laws is not confined to the Democratic
party, nor should it be regarded as
a partisan question. 1t is true that
Democrats have been the chief suffer-
ers from its enforcement thus far. for
the reason that the Republican party
has been in power. and has had control
of the appointment of the deputy mar
shals and supervisors of election. If it
chose to do so. the present Democratic
administration could exercise the DOW
ers conferred by the act to Cypress and
disfranchise Republican voters, as pre-
vious administrations have used the law
to the injury of the Democratic party.
But the Democrats have no such de-
sire. They are firm believers in the
ability of the people to decide who shall
be the rulers of the nation. and, freed
from all obstructive laws. they are con-
fident that the people will decide wisely.
lthas been their contention from the
first that the election laws were uncon-
stitutional. and they do not propose to
stultify themselves by employing un-
lawful means to perpetuate their own
power.
1t has ever been the policy of the

ZELLA WAS FIXED.
She Has Sailed on the Normannia
for Naples.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1S.-The Herald
says: Mrs leila Nicolaus has left
New York, and she says she is glad to
leave. She has abandoned the prose-
cution of her suit against George
Gould to recover $4,000, the
amount of check which she claimed
he had taken from her. Mrs. Nicolaus
refused to tell what motives had prompt
ed her in her abandonment of the law
suit. She would say only that the mat
ter had been arranged" and that the
arrangement was satisfactory to her.
Mrs. Nicolaus sailed yesterday morn
ing on the Hamburg-American liner
Normannia. Her destination is Naples.
Her guardian Al Ruhmann, to
whom has been attributed also
the names of Gray and Newman, sailed
in Mrs. Nicolaus' company. They did
not sail, however, as Mrs. Nicolaus and
Mr.. Ruhmann, her guardian. They
were booked as Mr.. and Mrs. n. w.

WITH two such momentous matter
on its hands as the tariff and the Ha
waiIan affair, congress promises to be
kept pretty busy during the present
session. and there seems to be little
prospect for a final adjournment before
late in August. Both matters will come
up for consideration at the same time.
but which will have the precedence is
yet to be determined. 1t looks as if the
situation in Hawaii would be seized
upon by those having a grievance
against President Cleveland in order to
attack him. Prejudice will enter largely
into the discussion, and as there are no
precedents to govern the action of con-
gress in such matters the debate Will
doubtless take wide range. AS addi-
tlonal light is shed upon the subject
Mr.. Cleveland's course receives in
creased warrant of authority and JUS
tice, and hence his opponents are en-
deavoring to force the matter to an issue
as early as possible. But the president
has no doubt fortified himself thor
oughly, and will be found in good DO.
sition to resist attack. He is we'll ar

Changes at White Earth.

WHITE EARTH AGENCY. Mimi, Dec.
12.-There has been a little shift in the
agency here, the result of which is that
DR.. A. l.. Mahaffey, who has been
stationed here, is transferred to the
Leech Lake agency. III his new posi-
ton he will act as agent in addition to
his professional duties as physician.
The change was necessitated by the
refusal of DR.. Wyman TO perform the
clerical duties at Leech Lake. DIR.
Wyman was sent from New Mexico to
take the place of DIR. Walker, who, it
will be remembered. was transferred
from Leech Lake to the CoiYille agency,
