What Is Gained?

The Provisional Government
has been in power for a little
more than a year. and the mem
bers of it ought by this time to
be ready and able to show what
material advantages the country
aud the nation has derived from
the unpopular revolution insti-
tuted. organized. and carried out
with connivance and aid of Amer
lean influence and forces. Under
the lawful government Of Hawaii
the people were pr1spering and
happy even if the hard times
which was felt all over the world
also had reached Hawaii. There
were, of course, political differ
ence among different factions
and parties, but they never were
allowed to assume character
which could lead to the estrange-
ment of acquaintances, seyering
of friendships, and boycotting of
busine SIS men. Life was too short
and too pleasant in Hawaii to
permit the people to take their
little political sqnabbles too much
au serieuT. Hawaii was friendly
to all powers. and if no distur
Dances bad arisen, the most adj
vantageous treaties would have
been secured. In fact, Hawaii
was as near being a Paradise as
any land can into which the SER
pent of western civilization
has entered.
But what do we see now since
Mr.. Stevens and his co-conspira-
tors have succeeded in throwing
the country into the tbroes of re-
volution and disturbance? An
unpopular government afraid and
distrustful of the carpet-bagging
organizations who dictate to it
and order it around both on ex-
ecutive and legislative matters.
Military expenditures which swal-
low every cent which the tax
payers cast into the treasury at
the cost ofneglected public works
and scandalous roads. A perfect
stagnation in all business. A
poverty never equalled in Hawaii
A total closing in of the money
market even against gilt-edged
security. Ill-feeling hatred dis

fusal of recognition for the Pro

least no prospects for change
in the situation, Only gloomy
futare with a continuation of
poverty, financial depression and
commercial disasters. And that
is the result of the Stevens Dole
revolution. We ask again what

authority however, occupying s
neutral position between the fac
tons. to call upon the available

it were necessary to insure linn
safe conduct IN negotiating mea-
sures with either Of the claim
ants. This was a safe and right
ful authority. Mr.. Willis was
expected to 90 about his business
IN a diplomatic manner. He was
to confer with the representatives
of the Provisional Government.
also with the dethroned Queen.
The latter was to be again placed
upon her throne if it could be
done peacefully by the pen and
not by the sword The Provi
sional Government was TO be told
that the way the Queen had been
dethroned was not agreeable to
the United States Government
and to talk the matter over with
its officials. The deposed Queen
was to be seen, and, upon certain
conditions, she was to be recog-
nized as the Qneen of the islands.
These conditions were that she
should grant political amnesty to
all those lately in rebellion and
should sustain her own self and
her kingdom Immediately after
her recognition. The Provisional
Government officials were to be
persuaded if possible to allow this
settlement to be made.
Minister Willis has obeyed his
instructions to the letter, as the
result which confronted him in
Hawaii made it impossible to
accomplish the mission which
his government desired In the
first place the Queen did not
want restoration without dam
ages and protection afterward
and the provisional governmet
presented determined front and
threatened bloodshed before il
would allow the deposed Queen
to resume her place.
In the meantime good citizens
urged Mr.. Willis to take nc
action that would endanger the
peace of the country until he
communicated further with his
own Government. Under these
circumstances Mr.. Willis sent a
hrief q diSgtfe ho, ter to IS SSo o
cerned would not agree to the
stlpulations. Since then things
have remained on the islands
status quo.
The Secretary of State received
dispatch from Minister Willis
in which be reports the situation
fully to the government. The
whole correspondence, with a mes
sage from the President, was sent
to Congress. The people can Judge
the case as it exists and not as a
malignant partisan press would
have it. That the President and
the administration have only
done their duty in the matter will
finally be the Judgment of all
fair minded and intelligent men.

The news received by the
China this morning are very en-
coaraging TO the loyal citizens of
Hawaii. There are no doubts that
tue Democratic party Will stand
undivided and sustain the Presi
dent IN all measures. The Ha-
waiian question would be settled
IN Congress last Friday when
the resolution of Mr. McCreary
the chairman Of the committee Of
foreign affairs would be adopted
by large majority. McCreary's
resolution sustains and approves
of Cleveland's policy. In the
Senate the Committee of foreign
Affairs were still investigating,
aud examining witnesses A
preliminary report had been
sent to the Senate in which the
main point was that other powers
should keep their hands off
Hawaii until the United
States had decided what
to do. 1t is expected though
that the Hawaiian question will
be finally settled within this
week. The Senate will also
follow Mr.. Cleveland in spite of
the noise made by the Republi-
cans. There is great indignation
against President Dole over the in
solent letter which he has seen fit
to write to Minister Willis and it
was stated on good authority
that the minister to day has
received instructions to demand
from Mr.. Dole Withdrawal ,af
a refusal it is stated that the
minister is ordered to demand
his passports, and break off
further connections on the part Of
the United States with the
provisional government. The
snub to the Hawaiian Legation
at Washington mentioned in a
former issue is considered very
significant and has made
Thurston and little Hastings feel
very weak. Mr.. Thurston is
evidently feeling uncomfortable,
and is beginning to contradict
and to deny the trath of reported
interviews. Tee Midwinter
Fair better known as the Mud
winter FAIR turns ont to be a
izzie owing to lack of interest
and poor management. Severe
comments are caused by the
exhibition of several Hawaiian
objects brought by Mr.. Thurston
and exhibited as belonging to
the Queen. If the articles are |
genuine it would be of interest to |
know how they came into the
possession of Mr.. Thurstoa or /
his agents. The Corbett and /
Mitchell fight has been a pro
mineat topic of the day. 1t was
as brutal and savage as any
prize fight yet exhibited before the

THE ABSENT WITNESS.

An incident at trial in Bucksport,
this week, furnished much amnse-
ment. An eccentric farmer who took
the stand became rather vehement
in his history, and further, persisted
in putting his hat on his head, not
realizing the gravity of the situati ton.
Although reprimanded by the judge
two or three times, the farmer still
continued to clap on his dicer every
few minutes. The judge finally
ordered him arrested and locked up
for contempt of court. He was
released, and led back into the court
room in about ten minu tes-where
he apologized to the judge-but on
went the hat again. A friend
breathed a word into his off ear,
when the old man grabbed the often
sive tile and slammed it on the floor
with darn that hail" and let it lie
there while the crowd roared. Such
an intense and guileless witness may
generally be depended upon to tell
the truth Lev iston, Me, Journal.

EXCURSIONS FOR SCHOOLS.
A Form of Instruction Scarcely Yet Known
In This Country.

III AhAS County,
Among the methods of instruction
scarcely yet known in our country, but
long established in Germany, is the
school excursion. Indeed, while to the
uninitiated this measure may be regard
ed as no less than revolutionary, it is
nevertheless true that excursions from
two to three weeks in duration were I'M
dertaken by Salzmann with the pupils
of his school at Schnepfenthal, in Thur
1ngla, when Washington was president
of the United States. Since the close of
the last century the school excursion, in
one form or another, has been growing
in popularity in Germany, and today
it forms regular feature Of perhaps the
majority of the elementary schools of
that country.
The school excursion offers the most
favorable opportunity for introducing
the child into many branches of knowI-
edge, for the reason that, by means of
outings, the pupil may be brought in
direct contact with various phases of
nature and the works of man. And in
deed the locality is exceptionally unfa-
vorable where an abundance of material
may not be found for instructing the
child in geography, history and the
natural sciences.
In Germany this broad study of the
environment is recognized as distinct
branch of knowledge, known as die
heimathskunde (homeology), and as
such is included in the curriculum of
the first three years of the elementary
schools. j. NJ. Rice in Forum

use it, which she did, with the result that it
cured her of these diseases. and she says she

WALL S RECT.
Condition OF Affairs in Financial
Circles.

Circles.
New YORK. Jan. 12.-Bradstreet's
financial review tomorrow will say: The
leading operators In Wall street this
week were apparently satisfied with
having forced a portion of the over
grown short interest to cover their con-
tracts, and though very noticeable
amount of public buying seems to have
been developed, its volume and char
acter was not sufficient to justify con-
tlnuance of efforts to put up prices.
The continued appearance of unfavor-
able railroad earnings is supplemented
by the renewal of anxiety regarding the
condition of the treasury and the de-
pletion of the gold reserve. 1t is gen
erall believed that bond issue is in
eYltabie to an extent of at least S5O,-
100000. Such action would meet
with the approval of financial
interests. but the uncertainty as to the
course OF congress or the administration
augmentS the disposition of speculative
interests to wait for results. The dis
cuSSion or the tariff bill is further ee.
ment i'll the case, while such incidents
as the passing of the Louisville & Nash
Vile dividend and the postponement of
the sugar company'S annual meeting
are not without an influence The re-
suit of these combined factors has been
to arrest the movement of speculation,
the market, Ill spite of its extreme dull
ness, being comparatively firm III tone.
The bear party are not active, although
their outstanding short lines have been
reduced in the pasf ten days. Europe
has taken no interest, and the firmness
and advance in exchange rates created
renewed expectation of an outflow of
specie.

INCOME TAX.
It Is Referred to the House Demo.
cratic Caucus.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-The Demo-
cratic members of the ways and means
committee considered the internal reye-
hue bill today. The meeting was a
spirited one, many unexpected motions
being made, so that at one time the
friends of the income tax feared that
they were defeated. AT the outset of
the meeting Mr.. Tarsney moved that
the question as to whether the internal
revenue features were to be reported
in an independent bill should be
referred to a Democratic caucus.
This brought out an animated dis
cusslon. When the vote was taken the
TarSney motion prevailed by vote of
to 5. Mr.. Bynum furnished the sur
prise of the meeting by moving to re-
consider the entire revenue bill as prac-
tically agreed on at meeting some time
ago. This motion also prevailed by
vote of 6 to 5. Mr.. Bynum voted with
the opponents of an income tax. The
affirmative vote was cast by Messrs.
Wilson, Breckenridge. Bynum, Cochran,
Stevens and Montgomery; the negative
vote by Messrs. McMillin, Bryan, Whit
ing, Tarsney and Turner.
a question then arose as to where this
left the bill, whether the Tarsney reso-
luton sent the whole question to q
caucus or whether the Bynum resolu-
tion left anything to submit to caucus
After some discussion as to the status,
a vote was again taken on the other in
ternal revenue features. and they were
agreed to as previously agreed upon.
The Democrats who are opposing the
Income tax proposition, led by Wilson,
then forced direct vote upon the
question of submitting all the internal
revenue features to the house as 4 sep
arate measure. A motion to so report
the internal revenue bill was agreed to
by vote of to 5, Mr.. Bynum voting
in the affirmative. The question of a
caucus was still in doubt, owing to the
various motiOus which had interVened
since the TarSney proposition had first
carried, but it was finally agreed, in
formally, that if caucus to consider
the income tax should be called by any
member outside of the Ways and means
committee. and the caucus sentiment
on the vote should be for the incorpora-
tiOn of the internal revenue features as
part of the Wilson bill, any members of
the committee so disposed could make
the motion Cn the floor of the house to
so include it,
