LIKE A SOLDIER.
Minister Willis Did His
Duty.
TO ENTHRONE A MONSTER
He Tried, Though the Effort Was
Distasteful.
HITS WORDS OF BITTER GALL.
Terrible Arraignment of the Presi-
dent for His Policy in ReIa-
ticn to Hawaii.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-The Democrats
of the Aouse to-day took up the most dis
tasteful and most dreaded task Mr. Cleve-
landshas set for them-that of advocating
or excusing his Hawaiian policy. There
are very few men in Congress who hon.
estly believe in Cleveland's policy. All
are anxious TO let go of the tar baby
Queen, but find il impossible to get their
fingers free. Even members of the Foreign
Affairs Committee are heartily sick of the
job they have before them, ana most of
the Democrats would like to be somew here
else while the debate is in progress.
The matter opened up turbulently this
morning with Mr.. Boutelle as principal
actor, he insisting on his resolution being
con nsidered first as question of privilege.
When the previous question was ordered
on the resolution of the Committee on
Rules setting apart three days for the con-
sideration of the Hawaiian matter, Mr..
Catchings made some personal illusions TO
Mr.. Boutelle's peculiar characteristics in
debate which aroused that gentleman's in
dignatiOn and led to a demand that the
Mississippian's words be taken down.
The House, however, ordered that Catch
iDgs should be permitted to proceed, and
he Immediately said something else which
led to another demand that his words be
taken down.
1t is still uncertain what course the
Dem mocrats will finally take with relation
10 this matter. but whatever is done the
administration will get severe roasting
in the debate. MIR. Loud will address the
House on Monday and Representative
Geary also expects to take part in the dis
cussion. AS Geary voted with the ad-
ministration supporters in the Foreign
Affairs Committee, of which he is a men,
Der. the presumption is that his speech will
uphold the Presidents policy.

sound of falling trees or the shout of the
teamstel, all is silent and changed,
silence reigns, unbroken save by the song
of the jay or the rap-tap of the wood
pecker. But the faithful ones should
never cease to trust i'll the powers that
be. they should choke down all feelings
that are not in harmony with the occa-
sion and with suppliant head render unto
Almighty Cleveland this, -"Although
our hands are idle aud our teams rs we'll,
tho the dollars are slipping out of our
pockets faster than into them, though
the poor around us are furnishing be-
cause we can give them no work,
though thou do this, yea and ever more,
