that his official correspondence with the State De-
partment suggests TO the outsider the help of a

To emphasize still further the fact that 1t Is only

that Baron Fava Is possessed OF an unusually fine

berae the representative Of the Italian Government
in this country for lack Of energy in not protesting
promptly against the outrage upon an Italian cit-

manner. Baron Fava at first felt inclined to ignore
the brutal attack. especially as he had taken pains

A Republican Scheme Outlined.

The New York papers repo ri
some significant outgiviDgs by
A B. Hepburn, president of the
Third National Bank of their
city, and author Of the new cur
rency system proposed last year
by the banks. His revelations
relate to the means which the
Republican Congress will adopt
to force the administration to
accept the measures relating to
the tariff and the finances desired
by the Republicans and the bank
ers. Mr.. Hepburn is repul ted
as saying that he had had several
interviews with Thomas r. Reed
the speaker be of the next
Congress, and Thomas FL. Car
ter, chairman of the Republican
committe. These two leaders,
he says, approved the passage OF
bills by the Republican Con
gress putting duties upon wool
and lumber. They also favored
a substantial revenue tax upon
the manufacture of beer. It was
the intention of the Republicans
to pass these three revenue bills
and throw the responsibility for
accepting the increased revenue
that will supply the present de-

ticiency upon the Democratic ad-

tlclency upon the Democratic ad-
ministratiOn.
U Unless these measures are ac-
cepted, MIR. Hepburn says, an
other issue of bonds will be the
inevitable result. SO we are
given to understand that unless
the Cleveland administration
agrees to higher tax on domes-
TIC beer and high duties on wool
and lumber, there must be an
other bond issue, and the admin
lstratiOn and the Democratic
party must bear the responsible
lty. The first named alternative
would please protected interests,
and the latter the bankers and
brokers. and both at the expense
OF the people.
AS to the responsibility" for
the bond issue, in such an emer-
gency as that suggested, the
people will have intelligence
enough to place ours where it
belongs. They will hardly hold
a factious, scheming, dominant
party IN Congress gniltless- But
If square issue is presented be
tween higher wool, lumber and
beer, demanded as an ultimatum
by the Republicans, and a consti-
tutlonal income tax favore 4 by
the Democrats, which party would
be the gamer by this Republican
scheme? May not the schemers
be forced into the hole prepared
by them for their opponents?

Washington, November 10
From hints thrown out by the
leaders of both political parties
strong probabilities seem to ex-
ist that two important joint reso-
lutlons will Oe offered immediate
ly after the assembling of the
Fifty~fourth Congress. The first
will be ali affirmation of the prin>
ciples embodied in the Monroe
doctrine. expressing in plain and
vigorous language the sympathy
of the American people with the
Government Of Venezuela in its
boundary dispute with Great
Britain. The second joint reso-
luton, which is being prepared
with much care. provides for the
annexation of the Hawaiian is
lands to the United States under
territorial form Of government.
