The New Haven Palladium.

The New Haven Palladium, a
leading Republican paper, in speak
ing of mills starting up and other
details of an industrial revival says:
The tide has turned in the bust
ness depression. Factories and
mills are starting up, business is re
viving, and stored capital is getting
ready to move. The tide began to
turn some time ago, but the process
of recuperation has been slow and
painful. Hence the effects are just
be oning visible in a large sense.
1t will require a considerable time
yet before commercial and indus
trial activity will reach the normal
status, for general restoration can
not be counteracted at moments
notice. Give the capitalists conf
dence and the people the encourage
ment of hope, and the depression
will shortly give way to general ac-
tivity in commercial and industrial
lines.
This is another strong argument
in favor of immediate action by the
Senate on the Wilson bill.

How About Hawaii ?

WASHINGTON. March 13.-The indica-
lions point to a spirited debate in the
senate over the clause in the senate tariff
bill inserted by the finance committee,
providing for the abrogation of the Ha-
waiian reciprocity treaty of 1875, and
the subject is already beginning to at
tract attentions on both sides of the
chamber.
This treaty provides for a gen.
eral exchange of the products of the
two countries free of duty, and in
cludes sugar as the principal Hawaiian
export to this country, the United
States IN turn being permitted to export
agricultural implements and other ma
chinery and manufactures of wooden
and cotton textiles fabrics, as well as a
great variety of other articles to Hawaii
without the payment of duty. 1t also
contains provision that no other for
eign government than this shall acquire
title to any port or harbor in the Ha-
waiian Islands. There are a number of
senators on the Democratic side who
will object to the clause, and it is be-
lieved that the Republican party in the
senate will be almost solid in its oppose
ton.
Already objection is heard, not only
because the termination of the treaty
would deprive this country of valuable
preroSaC1VeS IN the ISLANDS, DuG because
also of the fact that the action contem-
plated would be a serious blow to the
sugar planters of the islands, whose
business, it is commended, is depende :
absolutely upon maintaining free COM
mercial intercourse with the United
States.
The clause was inserted as a conces-
sion to the sugar interest of this country,
whose friends in the senate will exert
their influence to have it retained. Dur
ing 1893 2SS, 517 1929 pounds of sugar and
81 ,234 gallons of molasses were imported
from Hawaii. These importations at the
lowest rates fixed by the senate bill
would, if the treaty should be abrogated,
bring revenue to the treasury amount
ing to s., SS5, 525.77.

The Civil Service Farce.

The American people are patient
and long suffering. IF they were
not extraordinarily patient they
would long ago have risen in their
might and forever smashed that in
stitution which, as at present con-
stituted and operated, is an absurd
ity, the Civil Service Commission.
1t does one good to hear such
plain talk as this from the st. Louis
Republic, which comes to the defense
of Mr.. Carlisle against the recent
report of Mr.. Roosevelt, of the "far-
cicat and fraudulent Civil Service
Commission" in vigorous and heal
thy style. 1t says:
In it Mr.. Roosevelt takes the view
that the commission is better quail
fed to Judge of Treasury employees
than is the Secretary of tho Treas
ury. 1t is John G. Carlisle who has
the experience, knowledge and abil-
ity for the proper discharge of the
duties of the Office, but it is Roose
welt who is to manage it. 1t is Car
Isle who has assumed the response
bility, but it is Roosevelt who is to
exercise the authority in TIE con-
duct of the department. 1t must
have been this strange contention
of the commission which Cleveland
had in mind when he referred not

How About Hawaii9
WASHINGTON, March 13.-If all the
reports about the capital be true, the
Democratic members of the senate
finance committee are taking no chances
on the failure of their tariff bill. but in
tend that it shall be such a measure as
the house win accept. 1t is said that
prominent members of the,house commit
tee on ways and means have been taken
into the confidence of the committee on
finance and all the amendments of the
senate have been discussed freely with
them so as to insure in advance fayora-
BILE action of the house conferees when
the bill gets into conference.
1t is said that the senate committee has
received satisfactory assurances from the
house committee, some of whose MEM
bers are noticed as frequent visitors in
the finance committee room of the senate.
The probable length of the tariff de-
bate is a matter upon which Democratic
senator's can not agree among themselves.
If the Democratic members of the
unanCe cOl1n1LLee cOulQ control Lne1r
own side of the chamber much of the
doubt now surrounding this question
could be eliminated, but there IS every
Indication that the DeInoeEatic side Of
the chamber will not be controlled.
Mr.. Voorhees, favors the briefest kind
Of debate. He will himself make a terse
statement when he calls the bill up, and
let the matter end there. Other MEM
beers of the committee will also speak.
But so many other Democrats are OPP
posed to certain schedules that they will
feel bound to protest and put themselves
right with their own constituents.

For One Year.

The Republican papers take &C.
casion on the 4th of March to in
dulge in doleful reviews of the con-
dition of the country consequent, as
they allege, on one year of Dcmo-
cratic rule. The panic was the
creation of the Democracy, accord
ing to their logic, but they fail to
explain why it has been worldwide
in its sweep. Democracy is pretty
big institution, but it hardly deter
mines conditions in Great Britain
France, Germany, Italy and crea-
ton generally. The Democratic
party took power on the 4th of
March, 1893, pledged to three things
namely: 1. The repeal of the
Sherman silver purchase law. 2.
The repeal of the federal election
law. 3. The reform of the Nc
Kinley tariff. Within the year
they have repealed the Sherman
law, they have repealed the federal
election law, and have passed
through the house, and have pend
ing in the senate, comprehensive
plan of tariff reform and revision.
The chances are that it will be in
operation on the date stipulated in
the pending bill-that is, on the LIST
of June. That is doing pretty well.
The Democracy is willing and proud
to stand on its record. If the Re-
publican papers are in a reminiscent
mood they will find plenty of mate
rial for reflection in a comparison of
the condition of the treasury and
finance generally when Cleveland
gave way to Harrison on the 4th of
March, 1889, and the condition on
the 4th of March. 1898, whom Har-
rison gave way to Cleveland
