Minisier Stevens Acted Illegally
and Contrary to the Traditions
Of this Republic-A Party Vote.

VI snia k&epuONC-A Fafty vote.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-The House
committee on foreign affairs today, by a
strict party vote, authorized Mr.. Nc.
Creary, KY, to report favorably his res.
olution defining the attitude of Congress
towards Hawaii. The resolution reads
as follows. and will probably be reported
to the House tomorrow:
Resolved, that it is the sense of this
House that the action of the United
States minister in employing United
States naval forces andin illegally aiding
in overthrowing the constitutional gov.
ernment of the Hawaiian Island in Ian.
uary. 1893, and in setting up in its
place a provisional government, not re.
publican ir form and in opposition to
the will of the majority OF the people,
was contrary to the traditions of our
Republic and the spirit of our constitu.
ton and should be and is condemned.
second. that we heartily approve ot
the principle announced by the Presiden,
OF the United States that interference,
with the damestic affairs of an independ-

OF America institutions; and it
is further the sense OF this House
that the annexation of the Hawaiian Is-
lands to our country or ofthe assumptio,
OF protectorate over them by ou,
government is uncalled for and is in.
expedient. That the people of tina,
country should have absolute freedom
and Independence in pursuing their own

THE bond PREPARED,
collector Carter Will DOUBLE 81
Go In February I,

Capt. Melvin Edmondson Carter is ex-
pected to assume charge Of the Office OF
collector of internal revenue for this dis.
trict on the first of February.
Collector Carter's blank bond was re-
ceived by yesterday afternoons eastern
mail. The bond was prepared this morr-
ing and was taken this afternoon by
special messenger, Duff Merrick, esq.,, to
Judge Dick at Greensboro for approval.
The bond is he collectors official bond,
and is for 100000, to be justified in
double the amount. This one. however,
is sjustilied for $275 900, simply for good
measure" The bondsmen are some of
Ashevile's most prominent business men
who voluntarily became Collector Car
tcr's sureties and who have no iavors to
ask. There is another bond. known as
the disbursing bond, for $4,000. to be
justified in twice that amount. which
will be made up after the collector takes
charge OF the office.
A telegram to Collector Carter from
the department last evening stated that
ii there were no delay in the preparation
OF the bond, the office could be transfer
red to him on the evening of January
81. AS there has been no delay it is
likely that February l will see the new
collector installed in Office.

Our Summer Resort.

We need no advertisement to bring
people to our summer resort. Our town
advertises itself With its health
full atmosphere, its beautiful hills
and dales, its delightful drives, its
pretty pool of water, its accessible
ty, and its well kept hotels, there is
scarcely anything lacking TO make
it an ideal summer home.
This season our hotels and board
ing houses seem to be better patron
lied than usual The face of the
summer visitor is ubiquitous and
there is a genuine summer-resort
appearance about the town and it's
suburbs.
In the absence of business which
the summer season Effects to a great
er or less degree, and which is com
mon to all towns in agricultural dis
tricts, the summer visitor is a
handy substitute, and serves to keep
enough money in circulation to pre-
vent a famine.
1t occurs to US that much might
be added to the enjoyment and di-
versions of the season, if some enter
prising person would establish q
boat and bathing house at some con.
venient point on the river. If boats
were kept for rowing, and small
yacht for excursions, and bathing
facilities for everybody, they would
bring good revenue to the owner,
and make our summer resort COM
plete.

We may talk about Coxeyism and
Debsism and all manner of labor
disturbances. bot that thing which
most threatens the peace and perpe-
tunity of this government is the tar.
if conference.-the effort at pro-
tecting the product or industries OF
of one section of the country at the
expense Of the public.
1t is wrong in principle. 1t is I'M
republican in theory. 1t is odious
and demoralizing in its practical APP
! plication. And in every epoch of
the courtry's history, as our indus
tries become more diversified, it ap-
proaches more nearly the impracti-
cal in legislation.
What better illustration of its rev.
olutionary and desperate tendency
do we need than the present pro-
tracted, if not the futile, effort in
congress, TO fix such a system on
the country. Even now it is demon
alizing and wrecking the business
interests Of the country. 1t is ar
raging one section against another
and one interest against another,
with bitterness that cannot be al
layet,, ahd which will rise up in ey-
cry congress and campaign until
men are ready to resort to the sword
to settle it.
We can hope for no peace until
the theory of protection is abandon
ed, and the true Democratic doctrine
is accepted, that the only legitimate
office of tariff is to secure suffi-
Gent revenue only, and every import
ed article contributes equally to that
revenue according to its value, with
out regard to what it is, where it
comes from, or whittier it goes
When the Democratic party re-
covers the courage of its convictions,
and quits covering to the sorded de-
mands of capital, and climbs up on
its own platform, we will begin to
see daylight, and the tariff will be
taken forever out of politics.

Not For M'KinIey.

While the Republican conventions
of Illinois, Wisconsin and Iowa in
dulged in wordy and meaningless
platitudes about protection to Amer
lean labor, they took precious good
care to avoid anything like an in
dorsement of the Mckinley tariff law
now on the statute books. There is
much significance in this. Repub-
licans of the west appreciate the
odious character of the law, and full
ly understand that it would mean
disastrous and overwhelming defeat
to makelits retention an issue in this
years elections. Whatever may be
the future of tariff legislation in the
country, McKinleyism is doomed.
The people have had quite enough
of tariff for protection, with reve-
ne as an incident, as well as the
bounties and subsidies the Mckinley
law provides for the sugar people,
north and south.
When it comes to making up the
issue for 1896 the Republicans will
let the Mckinley law severely alone.
Should 1T be displaced by Demo
cratic tariff there will be no attempt
made to galvanize it back into life.
While Major Mckinley is personally
popular with his party. his tariff law
is the reverse of that, and should he
be presidential candidate two years
hence, he will have to run on his
law. His nomination would make
that law the logical issue. There
would be no escape from it, and the
people have pretty much the same
opinion now of McKinleyism that
they had in 1890.
In no Republican state convention
held west of Ohio has the Mckinley
tariff been Endorsed. Leading Re-
publican journals of the west, while
manifesting kindly feeling for the
governor, declare that in no event
must there be the mistake of making
his tariff law the issue of the next
presidential campaign. If the Dem
ocrats succeed in getting a tariff bill
through, it will take the subject out
of politics for the next 10 years. If
they do not, the issue will remain,
and may be as prominent and alb
sorbing in 1896 as it was in 1892.
The one condition of Il tariff settle
ment and permanency is the wiping
out of the Mckinley law.
