1t is very significant OF the feeling in
Congress that the Senate Committee on
foreit.. affairs has approved without dis
sent, an amendment offered by Serator
Morgan of Alabama 10 the naval appro-
priation bill, adding 500 900 for the
dredging OF Pearl Harbor Bay in the Ha-
waiian Is ands In the committee dis
cussion it was distinctly stated that this
appropriation was meant to serve notice
that no other occupation Of Hawaii than
oar own would be tolerated by our Gov
eminent. Senator Morgan took the lead
in expressing this opinion. He has nev-
er failed to give notice of his disapprov-
al OF the foreign policy Of the present
administration toward Hawaii. The
committee has as yet taken no action on
the proposal to modify tho treaty so as
to allow British cable to he laid to
Necker Island. That will probably be
refused until The supremacy Of the Unit
ted Stated in Hawaii is assured. That
can only be aqneation of two or three
years a. fataerest.-Ex

SATURDAY NIGHT.

These Saturday nights come around
IKE telegraph poles as one travels en- a
fast going train. II you look back over

the years change one. These days We

there is not good sign ahead. This
evening it seems to the Editor OF the
DEMOCRAT as II there WAS much 10 offer
ENCOURAGEMENT. Several years ago a
man back east probably known az q
crank. published pamphlet of prophe-
cies. In outline he showed how the
periods OF depression appeared and dis
appeared periodically with intermediate
eras not quite so bad. He figured out
the present hard times to dot and do
/ clared that in the latter part of 1895 and
in 1896 they would improve rapidly un.il
they reach The greatest era Of prosperity
the United States has ever known, in
1900, when the downward course will be-
gin to be rnn, for human weakness will
crop out and sxtravagance and boom
spirit will again obtain. Not because OF
the prophet; but because he has 90 fig
ured out the problem the Editor OF the
DEMOCRAT believes these things. Bright
en- up your tools for good times will
come, and when they come beware Of
