Hawaiian Matters.

On March 9Th the President sent to
Congress the latest correspondence in
relation to Hawaii, being three let
tiers with enclosure from Minister
Willis, covering period from Feb.
10th to Feb. 18th inclusive. An i'm
portant feature of the correspondence
Is a statement that steps have been
taken to provide for a new constitu-
ton and a new form of Government
for Hawaii. Minister Willis men,
tions the changes in the Executive
Council. He reports that Dole will
prepare a new constitution and says
a spirited contest is now in progress
looking to the introduction of a "rep-
resentative system into the Councils
of the Provisional Government.
In this connection he mentions a
resolution passed at a mass meeting
on Feb. 18th, favoring the enactment
of a law increasing the membership of
the Advisory Council from fourteen to
twenty-four, the new members to ''be
selected by the suffrages of loyal citi-
zens in a manner tC be hereafter pro-
vided." The reasons of the demand
are: The Council is not now repre-
sentative; that the legislative depart
ment Is too compact and small; that
it has been made Objectionable by the
action of the retiring members in
practically selecting their own success
sors; that the personnel has been
changed, and in these changes the
mass OF the supporters of the Provis-
1oDal Government had no voice.

There was a tremendous speculation
in Sugar Trust stock during the week.
James II. Keene and s. V. White had
the bears cornered, and on favorable
inside reports from Washington they
run the stock up from IS to 100 on the
9Th. The stock fiuctuated about %
for awhile, but the bears were terribly
cinched. 1t is said that the day cost
them about S., 100000. In all Isl, 465
shares of stock were sold. 1t was said
that Keene and White were in with

The Senate Finance Committee has
made known its deliberations on the
Wilson bill. While duty is placed
on sugar, q provision is inserted that
requires the President to terminate
the reciprocity treaty with Hawaii in
side of twelve months.
The points of the dispatch relating
to these matters are as follows:
"Sugar not above eighty degrees
pOlariscope test, i cent Il pound; for
every additional degree or fraction,
not above ninety degrees, l-100th Of u
L.. ah0 nd
above ninety-six degrees, 100ths of a
cent per degree; above ninety-six de-
grees, II cents per pound.
"Molasses, testing not above fifty
six degrees by polariscope, cents per
gallon; above fifty-six degrees, 4 |
cents. |
Gin the Internal Revenue section is |
a new provision directing the Presi |
dent to Immediately notify the Ha-
waiian Government that the United |
states will terminate in twelve |
months the treaty with Hawaii made |
in 1875"
Senator Jones of Arkansas, chair
man of the tariff subcommittee, is /
of the opinion that the bill as reported |
would produce a revenue of about |
$40, 100000 or $4S0,000,000, without |
taking into account the increased |
amount which would be the result of |
Tie IcuuCliOho III bhC ldiih IdISS
made.
Senator Gallery, who, with his late
colleague, Senator White, led the
fight for the sugar duty, expressed
himself as satisfied in a modified |
degree with the action of the COM
mittee.
Senator Brice was not altogether
with the bill, but will, no
doubt, support the measure after try
ing to- have it amended in some par
Senator Hill declined to say any
thing on the bill until he made his
speech.
Senators Allison and Aldrich, Re-
publicans and members of the Finance
Committee, said they had had no
to examine the bill so as
to make any comment upon it. Re-
as a rule, decline to express |
any opinions for the same reason. |
The POpulist Senators are also reti-
cent. saying they have been more
in the silver debate than in
the tariff bill.
TheCOast Senators generally express
themselves against the feature of the
bill which abrogates the treaty with
because so many people of
the Coast have large investments in
sugar plantations and the
of the Coast has been greatly
aided by the sugar industry.
The action as regards Hawaii is
considered a concession to |
the Louisiana Senators.

BETTER BUTTON 1T UP.

We are told by a doctor, says the
New York San, that the vest or waist
coat worn by men in modern times is a
cause of suffering, disease and death.
He says that the waistcoat ought to be
made so as to button up to the neck,
in order that the chest may be properly
protected against the cold, especially
at this season of the year. By wearing
a three button waistcoat, leaving the
bosom but lightly covered, men render
themselves the more liable to pneu-
monia, pleurisy, bronchitis, rheuma-
tism and other diseases, which have
become far more prevalent and fatal
in this country in recent times than
they used to be in the days of old. The
English of past generations wore high
buttoned waist coats or other protect
ing raiment in front of the chest. In
no country of Europe do men expose
their breasts to the weather like the
men Of this country, though, IN our
climate, that part of the body ought to
be well RuarO0N. 4u0 OaVAO4AC pAAOoWH
do not wear a low w%aistcoat or show a
white shirt front, but are warmly and
wisely clad up 10 the throat. The elo-
ouent and verable Baptist Preacher of
this city, Rev. DR.. Cone, now deceased,
who was an actor, a soldier, an editor
and an office holder, before he became
a clergyman, used to wear a velvet
waistcoat, buttoned up to the neck, and
it was very becoming to him.
Even in the cold month of February
YOU ear see men in Broadway and
other streets every day displaying the
plaits of their shirts, and with but
light apparel between their ribs and
the frost. Such ought to think OF the
danger which they thus incur OF catch
ing pleurisy, pneumonia, bronchitis,
rheumatism or some other ailment.
We have no doubt that the excellent
medical practitioner who for sanitary
reasons dieapproves Of the open
breasted waistcoat could sustain his
case bv a first rate and most conVlnc

The proprietor of the shop is q smart
young Frenchman. He says he furn.
ishes an expert poodle clipper at a
moments notice, and that he has the
bulk Of the business of shearing pet
dogs in the city. It appears that the
dog barber does not practice on gentle
men callers at the shop; he just attends
to the poodle branch Of the trade.
Jean is out attending to Mrs. Frank
Leslie's poodle this morning, said the
shopkeeper. He makes more at car
ing for the pets of fine ladies than some
of the men in fashionable barber shops
where patrons are clubmen and mil
lionaires. He could tell you many in
torosting things about his business if
ne were here. He suggested this branch
Of my business to me. One day he
came into my shop and asked for a
job. He said he could not shave well,
but could could cut hair artistically.
He told me that in Paris he made a
good living by cutting the hair of the
fashionable ladies' dogs, and he asked
me to let him try the experiment in
this city.
lone day he read a etory about the
pet dogs owned by the rich ladies of
the city. He had some cards printed
and mailed them to these ladies. 1t
was not long before he received letters
to call, and now we are thinking of
hiring an assistant for him. He has
made certain styles prevalent in Paris
in clipping poodles all the rage here"
What price is charged for clipping
one of these pets9"
Jean charges s. for clipping, bath
ing and purfuming, and often gets as
much more as a gift from some of the
wealthy patrons. Would you believe
it, some of these rich New York ladies
have their pets dine off golden dishes.
When Jean was considering with me
the proper price to charge, 1 thought
it best to charge as high as S., for,
unI:@s you charge a great deal, a rich
woman will think you are not an artist.
I told Jean he was an ar ist and should
fix his price high, as all artists from
Paris do
Jean tells me that the usual decora-
tions consists in leaving the hair on
the poodles full length in the form of
little anklets about the hooks. two
little tufts on the hips and one on the
back. The forelegs have Gnklets and
knee bracelets, and the body is clipped
close to the breast, up to an ornamental
collar of long hair. Amustache is left
on the muzzle, which is clipped smooth
up to the eyes. The ears are left long

Reform With q String to II.

The late lamented Hancock
cratic candidate for the Presidency in
1SS0-made no mistake when he de-
clared that the tariff is local ques-
ton. He was ridiculed and criticised
and cartooned for having uttered the
sentiment, but he spoke truth, just the
same, and history has vindcated him
abundantly.
Hancock should have lived until to-
day. He should have waited for the
first Democratic opportunity to carry
out the boastful promise of quarter
of century. He should have looked
on at his party in the hour of authority
and responsibility. Then he would
have recognized himself as prophet
and clairvoyant. He would have
seen the Hon. Ed Murphy, of New
York, an ardent tariff reformer until it
came to collars and cuffs. He would
have seen the Hon. Matt Ransom, of
North Carolina, consccrated to free
trade, holding aloft the banner of the
perfect craftsmanship, and protesting
his longing for martyrdom in that holy
cause, until the procession ran up
against the car load or Sc of mica pro-
duced in his progressive State. He
would have seen the Hon. j. NJ. Palmer,
of Illinois, paving the earth and bel
lowing defiance to the cohorts of pro-
lection, making the echoes palpitate
with denunciation of the "robber bar
ons" and wooing the star eyed goddess
with the linked sweetness of his melody,
until he pulled up short at barbed
wire fence with not another note of
music left And, finally, he would have
seen the Hon. N. c. Blanchard, of
Louisiana-seen him through a sorrel
nimbus of whiskers, as it were, alert,
