A Letter on Hawaii.

BOULDER, Col, Jan. 2.-Under date
of Dec. 9 last, Mrs. Dole, wife of the
president of Hawaii, wrote an interest
ing letter to her nephew, Guy Bennett,
Of this city, from which this extract is
taken The cause OF Cleveland's
policy of restoring the queen came
upon US like thuuderbolt. The ey
element is intense here. The proyi-
sional government rose to the emer-
gency in splendid way. l admire
their magnificent courage even while l
tremble. They fortified the leg
islative buildings more strongly
and gave out publicly that they
would resist any attacks from
whatever quarter. They are ready TO
sacrifice their lives in this great cause
the cause of freedom and civilization
in these islands. 1t all reminds me
more than anything of the old reyolu-
tlonary times IN the United States: the
same spirit and much the same cause.
only more need here, it seems to me.
Is it not good how Cleveland's plan for
restoring the queen on the 10th Of No
vember was frustrated and now
the great American people have
risen up in their wrath and will
restrain him from his outrageous designs. 1t
is fine thing TO see. And to think Of little
Hawaii causing all this excitement but there
is tremendous principle involved in the
principle Of freedom and right against mon
archical tyranny and wrong. 1t is grand to
see the spirit here. But We believe now the
people have taken up the cause and We shall
De all right. We are hoping good news from
Congress by next steamer"

ence to the duty we as Nirginians owe
to our Confederate veterans. Near by
this classic and historic capital of the
Confederacy is retreat known as the
Soldiers Home. How tenderly sad
does that term Soldiers Home" sound
to US. 1t is place where the cid Con-

The youngest enlisted in the cause

hillsides end her lowlands with graves,
and mantled her homes in the drapery

young, but their heads are silvered: the
old men of the army have been laid to
rest in their martial glory, while the
middle-aged who still survive are far
in the winter of life and their tottering
steps tell too plainly that soon they
will answer their last roll-call.
Virginia, in the plentitude of her
love,in the abundance of her gratitude,
in the tullness of her soul. will not, must
not, let poverty gnaw at their vitals
nor want sit at their doorsills. She

national treasury opens its vaults to
them. State action only can succor
them.

TUESDAY EVENING. JAN ., 1894.

Glass luminosity is almost as strong
as that Of race. Because it was the
ustom of the congregation Of Trinity
Church, New York, nearly all OF whom
belong 10 the old Knickerbocker and
exclusive "set, to drive down to the
neighborheod of that church and listen
TO its chimes ringing in the New Year,
the toughs for several years past
have assembled there on those occa.
sions and raised such clamor with
horns and drums that the music Of the
chimes has been entirely drowned.
That music was agreeable 10 the more
refined ears OF those who listened to it
in their own carriages: therefore those
VINO had no such carriages determined
il should not be heard, and they sue
ceeded, for the chimes did not ring last
Sunday night.

ONE ALLEGED objection to an income
tax, urged BY the opponents of that tax
in the North, is that, ifimposed, it would
be sectional, as nearly all Of ii would be
collected in the North. AS the North
impoverished the South, and as the ne
cessity for the tax arises from the i'm
mense sum that has TO be paid to the
northern soldiers by whom that i'm
poverishment was produced, surely the
alleged objection referred to can not be
sufficient to affect the vote of any south
ern congressman.

FIRST Court AT MASAssAs.-Court was

to move the court buildings from Brentsvillc

THE GOVERNORS RECEPTIoN.-An
informal reception was held at the En-
ecutive Mansion in Richmond last
night. The Governor and his wife
were assisted in doing the honors by a
committee of Richmond gentlemen, and
Mrs. Mckinney, Mrs. Peyton Wise,
Mrs. Kent, Miss Kent and Miss Anna
S. Kent. There were over 1000 call
ers, including Gov. Mckinney, most of
the State and city officials, and Con-
gressmen Wise, Edmonds, Swanson and
Tyler. Senator Daniel arrived in the
city last night, but was not at the man
sion. The unique feature of the night
was the appearance of the Commercial
Travellers Club and Cullingsworth's
Union Scouts, the latter in snowy uni
forms.

THE enrontery of the republicans is
50 amazingly grotesque that ii is anus
ing. Notwithstanding the patent fact
that their policy and robberies have
bankrupted the Treasury, and caused
an estimated deficit of nearly hun
dred million in the revenue requisite
for carrying on the government, they
are now demanding that Congress shall
pass bill providing for the completion
of the Nicarauga canal, at an expense
OF a hundred million more. There is
no doubt of the fact that the republi-
cans have developed the quality OF
cheek TO the highest possible degree.

RICHMOND, Va. Jan. /, 1894.
The programme of exercises as pre-
viously published in this correspond
ence relative to the Inauguration was
literally carried out to-day. The
weather was most propitious and Gov
ernor O'Ferrall's heart was made very
glad at the splendid ovation rendered
him. Fully fifty thousand people were
on the streets and it is thought that be-
tween ten and fifteen thousand people
were around the Capitol building when
Col. O'Ferrall delivered his address.
No visiting company attracted so
much attention as the Alexandria lads;
it is safe to say that none left better
impression upon the vast crowd. Their
demeanor was most gentlemanly, while
their soldier bearing and excellent
marching added no little to the coca
sion. A better selection to lead the
great line Of military could not have
been made, and that gallant soldier,
Col. Nalle, no doubt felt proud of the
splendid record of his regiment.
Governor O'Ferralls speech was a
mastery effort and he was cheered to
the echo many times. He discussed
several of the most important features
of State work.
A meeting of the cavalry officers was
held this afternoon at 5 o'clock to fill
the vacancies caused by the resignation
of w. F. Wickham and Lieutenant w.
K. Mathews. After great many bal
lots had been taken Senior Major II.
NJ. Boykin was elected Colonel and
Junior Major Charles Euker lieutenant
