who wish to dress as the prevailing better
taste now dictates.
Then the cuffs. They are large and con-
spicuous, and worn with the link buttons,
which may be almost of any variety, from
the plain white pearl to the sparkling dia-
mond, set in brightest gold. The newest
cuffs are now made with little projecting
ear, carrying a buttonhole on one of the
inner edges, that fastens to the wristband.
Fashion pieTces the outer clothing and
dictates the color of the undergarment, and
now fixes blue as the proper hue. Not
bright blue, but light shade that almost
borders on the gray, and which seems to be
borrowing it's popularity from the gray of
the neckwear and gloves.
The Cane.
If the cane is part of a gentleman's at
tire it must not be overlooked. Its popu-
larity is retained and it's size is not di-
minished. This stick is the constant street
companion of many men, and particularly
of society and club men, who need such
companionship; and they would feel lost
without It, and vary it's style according to
the prevailing fashion. Now the proper

the streets. The caps are principally
Scotch tweed of light color. The most
popular of these is the golf" which has
an extremely low and full crown that
nearly covers the vizor. This cap has been
made popular by the game in which II Is
usually worn.
A cap somewhat similar to the golf Is
the "hookover," which is still in vogue. 1t
is named from the fact of It's having the
low crown brought forward and hooked to
the upper surface of the vizor.
The tourists hat of the Alpine variety,
that military looking soft hat with a
crease through the center of the crown, is
also worn with business and outing dress.
Beside this goes the "neglge," soft, low,

THE HAWAIIAN MATTER.

Concicely stated, the question is as fol
lows: Under the Harrison administra-
tion scheme for the annexation OF
Hawaii was insugursted. The chief pur-
pose was to enable the citizens Of this
country who held large interests in
sugar plantations on the island to re-
ceiVe bounty on their sugar. The native
monarchy under Queen LiliuokRlsni was
overthrown by q so-csllsd provisional
government This was done with the
connivanCe Of the officials representing
the United States government There
was no demand on the part Of the
HAwaiisns for change Of government,
no trouble, no popular uprising; 1t was
simply the work Of q few interested par
ties who, for purposes Of gain, plotted to
install government which would
formally ask to DO annexed 10 the United
States. United States troops were
landed in the capitol city, and marched
to the support Of the provisional gov
ernment." In the presence Of this armed
force the native government dared not
resist, and thus the revolution" was sc-
compllshed. For this monstrous deed
the Hawaiian administration deserves
the condemnation Of the entire country.
No such measures should have bsen
taken without the acquiesce Of the
people. The high.handed procedure
might have involved our nation in war
with other nations So much for the
republican part in the affair. Now for
the democratic part. One Of Mr.. Cleve-
lands first acts was to withdraw from
the senate the treaty for the annexation
Of Hawaii. He then sent special com

ment. Mr. Blomt's whole course while
in Hawaii shows the most biased and
unfair determination TO ascertain and
report only such things As would con-
denim the acts OF Mr.. Stephens, the min
ister under the Harrison regime. The
course Of the Cleveland administration is
not one whit less reprshenbibls than that
Of the preceding one. 1t was equally
as dangerous to provoke disturbance and
risk foreign embrOgios as the first mis-.
step. It was quite % criminal for Mr..
Cleveland to srrogRte to himself the
right to send q commissioners priV0telv
instructed az for Mr.. Harrison to con-
duct his negotiations without the knowl-
edge or consent Of the American people.
In either case the peace Of the nation
was jeopardized by the OOnspirators. In
the frat instance, greed was the inspir-
ing cause; in the latter, Mr.. Greshsms
spleen and Mr.. Cleveland's desire TO give
the former administration 20 black eye"
were the motive. There will be much
valuable time wasted in congress on this
matter. The people should snOw con-
gress under with petitions demanding
that Hawaii should be given rest.

NO QUORUM.
The Obnoxious Wilson Tariff Bill Causes
a Deadlock.

a Deadlock.
WASHINGTON, January 8.-FFom the
time the house reconvened on Wednes-
day until to. day, there were not enough
members to get vote on anything per
tanning 10 the Wilson tariff bill. This
was occssioned by democratic oppOsi-
tion to the bill.
Representative Spsrry, who represents
the Democratic objsctors to the Wilson
bill, tried uDsuccessfully in the house
throughout the day to secure recognition
in order to move to recommit the tariff
bill, with instructions to prepare and
submit the internal revenue feature be-
fore asking for a special rule closing de.
bate. Mr.. SperrV tried to bring the reso.
luton in as a matter of privilege, but
Speaker Crisp persistsntly refused to
recognize him.
Mr.. Sperry states the position of the
democratic opposition as follows:
The parliamentary situation in the
house at the present time is this: The
ways and means committee has reported
tariff bill which shows $75,0OO,0OO de-
ficiency ss compared with the receipts
under the present law. They are also
expected to report an internal revenue
bill, and as part Of that bill the demo
cratic end Of the ways and means COM
mittee has agreed by majority Of one
to an income tax.
'"The tariff bill has been reported, esti-
mates made and everyone is informed on
its details and is able to act intelligently.
But the internal revenue bill has not
been reported and no one knows, not
even the members Of the committee,
what provisions that bill will contain |
when it is finally reported. 1t has been
the settled policy Of the ways and means
committee that the tariff bill and reve
nue. bills should be separately prepared,
presented and separately voted
upon. Within the last week intimstions
have been made by members OF the ways
and means committee that the internal
revenue bill would be attached to the
tariff bill as an amendment And yet
no internal revenue bill has been pre-
pared and nothing is known as to the
amount Of revenue it would yield to the
government.
"With these conditions confronting the
house the ways and means committee
has sought the aid Of the rules con- umlttee
and has brought in rule by which they
propose to limit debate upon the subject
matter of legislation which is not yet In
Iorm, and on which no member Of con-
gress has authentic information. In
other words, the com mittee on rules pro
posed to adopt q clOture rule, limiting
debate and fixing time for vote and then
70 offer the bill for consideration. Ii
ioss not, perhaps, make 90 much differ
'neo whether the tariff bill and the rove J

nue. bill are considered separately or TO-
gether, but it seems to me that every
congress man is entitled to have the in
tended legislation put into print with
the mBjority and minority reports Of the
committee, with estimates Of the results
Of the legislation, if enacted, and is enti-
tied to that before he is expected to vote
on cloture on bill that is not in exist
ence. / don't think there is any dispo-
sition to prevent consideration Of tariff
bill or OF an internal revenue bill, and the
objections are due to the fact that the
ways and msane committee have not yet
fully formulated legislation and have not
decided whether an internal revenue
bill shall or shall not be introduced seps.
ratelY or as part Of the tariff bill. Un-
til the ways and means committee decide
what they intend to do they can hardly
object il we delay further proceedings in
the house until that committee shalt de.
eide what course of action they expect to
pursue"
BOND QUESTION MUST WAIT.
The ways and means committee has
two important tasks before it, one the
final settlement Of the terms of the in
ternal revenue branch of the tariff bill,
and the other the authorization Of bonds
to meet the pressing treasury deficit. Mr..
Wilson says the bond question will have
to wait until the tariff is out Of the way.
There is little doubt, however, that
bond proposition will emRnate from the
committee at an early day, as majority
Of the democratic members Of the COM
mittee are known to be ready to adopt
measure on the lines suggested by Sec
retary Carlisle in his recent report.
On the other band, there is an sner-
getic minority among the democratic
members Of the committee which does
not believe in q bond measure. Mr..
Bryan believes in coming the ssignorsge
now in the treasury, and Mr.. Whiting
would either coin it or else resort to
another issue Of notes something like |
the old greenbacks to the extent Of $780,
)O0 900, and make these notes payable in |
,oin. These minority views are not
likely to receive much consideration,
however, when the administration wants
ponds and q majority Of the dem Ocrsts
IN the committee are favorable to the
pond project.
The internal revenue features Of the
;sriff will be passed on by the ways and
means committee within q day or two,
ls Messrs. McMillin and Bryan have
about completed the draft which is TO
% submitted to the full democratic
Of the committee and then
o the full committee. The essential
eatures Of an income tax, an increased
o per cent on whisky, tax on playing
ards, etc, are well understood, but

those who seek to extend the power Of
the general government and those who
contend for state and local control Of

II am more and more satisfied that fed

vicious In practice, vicious in principle
and vicious IN results" It is not at all

This bill was voted down; the Popu-
lists assisted in killing 1t because 1t was
80 framed as to enable any designing
person to force men into bankruptcy for
the benefit mainly Of the lawyers and
court officials. Mr.. Bailey, Of Texas,
has introduced q voluntary bankruptcy
bill which will doubtless receive the sup
port Of the Populists. It would, how
ever, be vastly better for the country for
the currency to be increased so that men
could pay their debts. Hon. John Davis
made q strong speech on this bill in
which he clearly pointed out the wise
course to pursue.
