Hawaii to the Front.

That was welcome intelligence which
was contained in the papers of yesterday
concerning the future Of Hawaii. 1t
was rather surprising, too. The admins
tration had been so cold towards the
lonely Pacific islands, which Uncle Sam
must some day acquire, that the friends
of their acquisition had become somewhat
discouraged. for it really began TO look
as If all the other great nations OF the
earth had been in effect invited to assume
the protectorate over Hawaii which the
United States Of America had decided not
TO assume.
The statement in yesterdays kilograms
goes to show that the administration has
determined to obtain naval station In
Pearl harbor as soon as possible. The
public will be apt to regard this as
surrender Of the whole question, or rather
Of all the questions involved in the Ha-
waiian situation. The President, they will
say, has determined to solve the problem
i'm the interest Of the human race. He
has shown In this matter that he can
rise above mere petty or party considera-
tions. and considerations OF consistency.
and look at the situation in the clear light
of patriotism. and due regard for the
public welfare.
1t was a complicated condition Of things
which obtared when Mr.. Cleveland went
into Office For him TO restore the Queen
to power and then leave the Hawaiians
to work out their own salvation would
have been the same thing in effect a.
putting down the Provisional Government
and thus discrediting that government in
the eyes Of the people Of Hawaii, and.
in fact. Of all the world. The better
classes of the people Of Hawaii have all
, along desired annexation to the United
States. These better classes all side with
the Provisional Government. BY the way.
the ability. sagacity, end prudence OF the
Provisional Government have furnished to
the world convincing evidence that there
is in the Hawaiian Islands statesman
ship equal to the demands Of the occa-
zion, and. therefore. sufficient TO justify
all the nations OF the world in acquiescing
peaccably in the transfer of those islands
to the United States of America.
And here we are reminded that the
Nicaragua canal ought to be con-
structed at as early a day as possible.
/, is deplorable fact that the revenues
of the Federal Government should have
fallen off just at this time. We fear that
the President and Congress viii propose
10 throw that canal overheard as too
heavy a burthen TO be carried at this
time. though II would be impossible to
appropriate Il hundred millions OF dollars
70 more meritorlOus work. There Is no
jingosm In this matter. 1t Is. on the
contrary, scheme which the United
States must find in the Constitution the
power TO promote. We shall not, how
ever. argue the question of power. seeing
that ii is just as certain as anything OF
the sort can be that Uncle Sam will
always find in the Constitution whatever
power his people may desire to possess
as the foremost nation in the world.

The Kossuth Demonstrations.

1t IS probable that We shall hear OF
more or less riotlng in Buda-Pesth and
Elsewhere in Hungary until the remains
Of Louis Kossuth shall have been laid
Away. The death OF the great Magyar
'1lberator" and the removal OF his BODY
10 Hungarian soil afford an excellent OPP
portunity to the excitabie student class
OF the capital for a characteristic display
Of their patriotism, and are all the provo
cation that could be desired by the ultra
Independent leaders for endeavorins 70
create friction between the two great di-
visions OF the dual monarchy. The gov
eminent has a very delicate question 10
deal with as respects the honors that
should be paid the dead hero, and from
motives OF policy the authorities are 10th
10 resort 10 extreme measures in sup
pressing disturbances. This the elements
referred to well know and they are very
apt 90 take considerable license in testi-
lying their loyalty 10 the Hungarian idol.
Happily FOR hungary. however there
Ii no reason TO believe that any serious
or far-reaching trouble will result from
The death Of Kossuth. or. In other words.
there Is 10 reason TO believe that the
demonstration In his honor have any
serious political significance. We say
''happily' for Hungary, for the evolution
OF events in Europe has shown that
Hungary could not stand alone.
Whlio 81 IS true that kossuth did more
than any other man 10 secure the restora-
ton OF the essential guarantees OF the
Golden Bull-the Magyar charter OF H.
berry which had time and again since 1t
WAS wrcsted from Andrew H. In the early
part Of the thirteenth century, been tram
pled upon. ne remained irreconciled and
irrec0r cilable 10 the end. While it is be-
youd question that Hungary owes him
debt OF eternal gratitude. he was a
voluntary exile who not only rejected all
advances that were made 10 him by
Nieana, but more than once since the
close OF the great revolutionary drama,
fn which he played such a conspicuous
part. endeayored 10 rekindle the fires
which Austria. with the assistance OF
Russia, 10 mercilessly stamped out He
laid the foundation OF the rights and
privileges Hungary enjoys to-day. but he
would never recognize the constitution
which many OF his associates Of lsis. who
accepted the situation when the struggle
was oyer. united in building upon that
foundation.
Had Kossuth succeeded to the fullness
OF hts ambition Hungary would probably
have long since been another Poland
under the heel Of Russia. Az II is. how

The Income Tax.

in the report or the Senate Finance
Committee to that body made on Tuesday
last-that is to say. the report on the Will
son tariff bill, or on the tariff question
generally--the income tax was included,
but very little. II anything. seems to have
been said by Mr. Voorhees,. the chairman
Of the committee. on the subject Pos
sibly he is reserving all that he has to
say for utterance In the Senate whilst
the tariff bill Is under discussion.
Because the Finance Committee has re-
ported In favor OF an income tax is not
a sufficient reason for assuming that the
Senate Will agree to that form OF income
tax provided for in the Wilson tariff bill.
Al the last moment a conference COM
mittee may recommend such changes as
will convert It into a new bill.
Mr.. Mcpherson, Of New jersey. sound
Democrat representing State which
voted the Democratic ticket even in war
times, gave notice in the Senate on Tues
day that although he had agreed that the
report should be- made in the form in
which 1t was presented by Mr.. Voorhees,,
he could not pledge himself to the sup
port OF all the features of the substituted
bill. MIR. Mcpherson is member OF the
Finance Committee himself. He said in
the remarks just referred to that he
would find no difficulty in supporting in
the Senate the colleagues with whom he
had served on the Finance Committee
in enactng into law so much of the said
bill rs would provide for the government
all the revenue needed when economically
administered. yet beyond that just and
proper limitation he must not be expected
10 so. What he meant was soon explain
ed, when he went on 10 say that he was
opposed TO an income tax as unnecessary.
undemocratic unwise. and un-American-
pretty strong language to come from a
Democrat.
one Vo'e in the Finance Committee IS
not q matter of small import. AS an
nounced last year. that committee con-
sisted Of eleven memhers-siy Dem Gratis
and five Republicans. The Democrats
are Mcssrs. voorhees,. Mcpherson, Harris
Vance. Vest, and Jones of Arkansas
The Republicans are Messrs. Sherman,
Morrill,, Jones OF Nevada, Allison, and
Aldrich If all the Republican committee
men are opposed TO an income tax, Mr.
McPherson's one vote would be sufficient
10 convert the committee into an anti
income tax committee. And We have
seen that he, as reported above, has al
ready declared that he could not pledge
himself 10 the support of that tax. How
ever, as Mr.. VOORHEES, is known to be in
favor OF an income tax, and all the other
Democrats on the committee are south
ern men, it is possible that the income
tax may be continued as Il part OF the
tariff bill. Mr.. Vance Is not in Washing
ton city. but IS paired no doubt with
some Republican senator on all important
questions
There Is. In a word. no certainty as to
what i to be the final disposition OF
the income-tax proposition. The fact that
the Senate committee first decided to re,
port in favor Of taxing building and loan
associations and afterwards against
such a tax illustrates the uncertainty
which will Overshadow this matter until
the tariff bill shall have become a law.
