ON HAWAII.
Senator Morgan's Report Adopted by the
 Committee on Foreign Relations.

senator MOrRan'e Report Adopted ny tne
 Committee on Foreign Relations.
 WASHINGTON. Feb. 23.-Senator Nor. gan submitted the report he has been preparing on Hawaii to the full mem- bership of the committee on foreign re- lations yesterday and it was adopted by majority vote. The four republic an members of the committee voted for Senator Morgan's report and the four democrats voted against the re- port drawn by the Alabama sem ator These four democrats will prepare minority report next Monday morning. The republic an members of the committee do not fully concur in the report prepared by Mir. Morgan, though it does not criticise Minister Stevens, leans toward annexation and generally favors the policy of the late administration It, however, does not criticise in as vigor- ous terms as the republicans wish the policy of the present administration, although it is drawn in such language that the republicans feel that they can subscribe to it even if it does not go quite as far as desired. It is much more in line with the policy advocated by the republicans than was at first anticipa- ted. It was thought at first perhaps the report would not satisfy either the democrats on the committee or the re- publicans, and that perhaps three re- ports would be presented.
 This is the rule to certain extent The. democrats feeling compelled to submit the minority report, it is possi- ble that some individual opinions will be submitted by the republican mem- bers of the committee, stating that while they concur in the report in the main, some features are objected to.

CLEVELAND AND HIS PARTY.
Origin of the Trouble in the Democratis
 RankR.

Origin of the Trouble In the DemocrnSho
 Ranks.
 The trouble between Cleveland and his party began as soon as he was in- augurated It was evident within tho first twenty-four hours after that event that he proposed to do exactly as he pleased, without regard to the wishes of those by whom he had been elected He took occasion at the very outset to Jet it be known that he did not expect to consult the party leaders or to culti- vate amicable relations with them. His attitude was that of a man serenely confident of his own power to have his own way, and thoroughly determined to meet all opposition with uncondi- tional defiance. This has been his poll icy, and the consequences are easy to see. He has estranged all the promi- nent democrats in the country by his studied contempt for their advice and his resolute refusal to grant them req sonable favors. The administration is without the support in congress that is necessary to carry out its plans and purposes It would have been defeated | in all of its undertakings but for the help magnanimously given to it by the republicans. Nothing that it desires can be obtained except by fight Its worst enemies are on the side that is responsible for its existence, and that should be anxious to promote its suc- cess The meanest things that are said about it come from those who worked hardest to win the democratic victory of 1892, and who have least sympathy with anti-democratic doctrines and in- terests.
 This situation is a peculiarly unfor- tunate one for Cleveland. He has more at stake in the case than anybody else. The men who are antagonizing him have little or nothing to lose in com parison with what he may forfeit; and the wonder is that he persists in a course, that is so manifestly inimical to his personal welfare. It is all very well to say that he displays remarkable courage; but he displays it in way that falls far short of practical wisdom. The responsibility for the unpleasant feeling between other conspicuous democrats and himself is largely his own. He could have preserved peace and harmony if he had cared to show friendly spirit and to stoop a lit tie now and then to con- quer. That is what his party expect ed him to do-that is what a party always expects its president to do; and it is quite safe to say that his party does not indorse the methods that he has adopted and the means that he has used for the accomplishment of his ob- jects. His popularity with the demo- cratic masses has steadily declined during his present term. He went in- to office under the most favorable con- ditions for increasing his reputation and making a signal name for himself in history, and in less than year he has thrown away all of the good chances with which he started. The opportunity of his life was missed be. cause he lacked the ability to compre- hend and improve it, and the man who thus blunders in politics or in any thing else cannot hope to escape dis aster sooner or later.-St Louis Globe Democrat

eB- After all. it is not much to expec, that the democrats will at the last mc- ment realize the futility of the Wilson bill for any serious purpose of govern ment and that they will supplement the useless demagogy of that measure with little practical statesmanship. They must know, if they will stop Il moment to think, that they cannot meet the nations current expenses by making faces at the upper classes and playing toaGy to the masses.-Wash- ington Post Und.).

ROUGH ON THE FARMERS.
The EToct of Democratic Tariff Reform on PrIcaa.


 We have in this country the singular situation of wheat selling at very much the lowest point and the largest num- Der of people in actual want of the necessaries of life in the history of the countryl The farmer in the northwest gets barely forty cents a bushel for the wheat he evolved from the soil with the sweat of his brow, and still the con- sumers of what he grows cannot ob- tain the means to buy bread. It is an- other illustration of the fact that cheapness is not the only thing that people want in order to be happy and prosperous. The man who is out of employment, or is employed at low wages, finds it impossible to buy flour though the wheat out of which the -four is made is selling at below cost of production. The objective point of many reformers has been cheap goods. They have had no thought beyond get ting what they want cheap. Cheap woolcns, cheap cottons and cheap foods. And all this time they have forgotten the other part of the proposition cheap labor or no labor at all. Thou sands of working men are now able to understand what Mir. Mckinley meant when he said that cheapness was not the greatest blessing they asked for They were indignant over this asser- ton when they voted in 1892, but they are less so now Now they see the truth of it and they feel the hunger for the old order of things Under demo- cratic tariff reform wheat has fallen to its lowest point, and still men are on the verge of starvation in all the large cities Iowa State Register.

Clean Streets.

We must have more of the sense of
beauty and aesthetic fitness entering into
our domestic, civic and national life
The present municipal officers of our
different American cities care but little
about it. The condition of our Ameri
can streets was the occasion of the most
caustic comment from foreigners during
the Worlds fair period. Between ele-
CANT blocks of buildings, on finely paved
streets, they saw oceans Of mud, old,
discolored papers blowing about, piles
of garbage and store sweepings, and
crushed cats and other matter fostering
in the sun. How are we to get rid of
these things in our civic life? First, get
rid Of them in your homes and school
rooms. Letters In the newspapers do not
prick the skin of the lazy, venal officials
whose duty it is to clean city, but
who are only mindful to bring out the
hoe brigade just before elections semi
annually. You must go deeper for re-
form in these things. You must train
a new generation. The boys and girls in
your schools will make up the new city
boards and mayor and street commits
sioners. You must train in them high
er sense of home and municipal patriot
ism, based on a stronger love Of fitness.
order and beauty. This reform is COM
ing in home and school and city. think

A Street Car Incident.

It was in street car, and the usual
motley crowd gathered on one of these
public conveyances was at its best. Tho
front part of the car was filled with men
who were coming from work-clerks,
most of them, and all fairly dressed.
One laborer, with mud splashed overalls
and tin bucket i'll his hand, was squeez-
ed between two portly passengers and
was the only one of his class in the car.
Near the door sat a nurse with pink
bow in her white cap and her long white
apron showing her duties. The beauti-
fully clad child with her was restless,
after the manner Of children, and insist
ed in dragging the length of her silk
coat up the car, looking into each face
as she passed with the keenly inquisitive
look even in well bred youngsters.
Smiles were directed at her from all the
men, but she passed them by and went
directly to the laborer, holding out her
little arms and lisped, ''Tate me up"
The man hesitated, looking at the nurse,
and then as the little girl repeated her
command he sat down his bucket and
took her on his knee. She staid with
him to the end of her journey, the nurse
not interfering, and the mans evident
delight was only surpassed by her pleas
ufe at being with him. When the car
came to her street, the little one got
down and said: 'Doodby; / like you.
Come and see me some dsY - Then che
went out, and the man favored with her
attentions was observed to smile dream
lily all the rest of the way home. Pitts

Children Wed In Kentucky.

Sam Hart, aged 10, and Emaline
Franklin, aged 10, were united in mar
rage at the home Of the BRIDES father
at Colly, few miles west of this place,
on the evening Of the 9th ult. This
phenomenal wedding breaks the record
in the annals of Letcher's history. New
er has there been a wedding when the
bride and groom were both SO young
since Letcher had been hewed from the
magic hills and peaks of Perry and Har-
Ian counties and united into one bright
and prosperous people. 1t is said that
this young couple looked as children
while they were being united as one.
When the time came for the groom to
say Il do" he became involved in
big laugh, which lasted till all was
over. -Kentucky Mountain Echo.

Had Lost His sunpleness.

A gentleman who had been somewhat
of an athlete in his younger days wal
telling his growing sons Of the feats OF
agility and strength which he used to
perform and promised to put them up
a trapeze. According to promise, the
gentleman went to the barn with his
boys and rugged the ladder in horizontal
fashion about 10 feet from the floor.
When everything was ready, he of course
thought he would "show off" q bit be-
fore his children.
He stepped out on the ladder by way OF
the loft and was soon swinging from it,
holding to round with both hands.
The children laughed gleefully, and en-
boldened by his success the father at
tempted to hang head downward by his
toes, one of his favorite feats in his ath
letic days. He got down all right, but he
couldn't get back. He tried two or three
times, but it was no use. Then he got ex-
cited. His head was several feet from
the floor. If he fell, he might break his
neck. Meanwhile the blood was rushing
to his head until he thought it would
split open.
Fetch some hay, quickl" he shouted
to the now terrified boys "Put some
hay under my headP'
The children quickly brought great
armfuls of hay and piled it beneath him,
and just as his wife, alarmed by the
screaming, came in at the barn door he
fell. He was black in the face, and it
required several minutes of active work
ON the part of his weeping wife to re-
and sore the next day and unable to at
tend to his business in the city, but he
was able to restore the ladder to its
former upright position in corner of
the barn. Providence Journal.

Spider and Wasp Fight.

A fierce battle for life between large
spider and wasp was witnessed by
Fifteenth ward man in his garden one
day last summer. The spider had spread
her web in a corner of the fence and
was patiently waiting for something to
turn up. Suddenly a wasp flew into the
web. He was firmly caught, but his des-
perate efforts to escape tore several holes
in the fimsy network about him. Here
the spider rushed out and rapidly be-
gan to repair the breaks. The wasp
fought harder still and seemed to be
trying to get chance to sting his sly
foe.
In minute or two the wasp lay per-
fectly still, as if dead. The spider
rushed out and seized the body Of her
victim. The wasp, who had apparently
been playing possum, suddenly became
very much alive, and in flash spider
and wasp were clasped in death lock.
There was short, fierce struggle, and
both insects fell from the dilapidated
web to the ground. They lay there quite
still, and the interested spectator, stoop
ing over them, found that both were
dead. -Philadelphia Record.

Rope Skipping.

The skipping rope season has only
just begun, but already one little daugh-
ter has died because she tried to skip
too long without stopping. A little girl
in Mount Vernon was made sick by too
much rope jumping and died in the
hospital few days after. Rope skip
ping is healthful and wholesome ex-
excise if not done too long at time.
Little girls in England use always the
single rope-that is, they turn the rope
for themselves, using both hands and
skipping as they run. III this way steady
jumping is avoided and no trouble can
follow.-New York Exchange.

How Sea Birds Quench Their Thirst.

The question is often asked, where
do the sea birds obtain fresh water to
Stake their thirst?" but we have never
seen it satisfactorily answered until a
few days ago. An old skipper with
whom we were conversing on the sub
ject said that he had seen these birds
at sea far from any land that could fur
nish them water lowering around and
under stormcloud, Gathering like ducks
on hot day at pond and drinking in
the drops of ram as they fell. They VIII
smell rain squall a hundred miles or
even farther off and scud for 1T with al
most inconceivable swiftness.
How long SCI. birds can exist withont
water is only matter of conjecture,
but probably their powers of enduring
thirst are increased by habit, and pos
sibly they go without water for many
days, if not for several weeks. Golden
