GENTLY steep inclination to overcome the
preposterous hat of the period would be
not only uncomfortable but unsafe for pc

proprietors have in their own hands is
a rule requiring ladies wearing hats to
remove them before being shown to their

IS the rule in respectable theaters and opera
houses in Europe, and such should be the
rule in this country. Nor is there any
hardship in it. On the other hand, with

Supplies for n Great Goxernm.n.

1t is now ascertained that Congress at
this session win appropriate a little over
five hundred millions of dollars fo- the sum-
port of the government for the fiscal year
ending June 30. 1897. and this insures that
the Fffty-fourth Congress will rank with
those which have reached the biIIion-doIlar
mark The record Is praiseworthy, and, to
some extent, surprising; for the tendency
of the congressional leaders was so
strongly toward parsimony that adverse
criticism was pointed and plentiful. The
country was weary of legislative stingi-
ness, and its WEAKNESS was so apparent
that those who hold the purse-strings were
compelled to relent-
The problem at the outset was brave.
The revenues of the government were RIM
ming behind, and 1t seemed a matter of
plain business necessity that they should
be increased. Axioms by the score were
quoted to show that no more money should
be voted out Of the treasury than was
coming into 1t. The government, 1t was in

Willis and His Grievance.

Minister Willis has left Honolulu and is
now headed in this direction. 1t is ru-
mored that he win not return to the Island
Republic; that this administration will
manifest its displeasure at Hawaiian re-
pubHcanism and progress by having as It's
representative at Honolulu an official
whose rank and station is that of a nero
consul-ger eral The people of Hawaii will
surely be much delighted if this rumor has
substantial foundation, and so will the peo-
pie of the United States, for the latter are
tired of the piCayune manner in which
Minister Wills has erdeavored to annoy a
government which it should have been his
pleasure and duty to encourage and sup
port From the time when Mr.. Willis pre-
scented to President Dole the ultimatum of
his chief to the effect that the government
to which he was accredited must commit
suicide he has been energetic only in wor-
rying; the tactics of the mosquito have
been his What was probably his last eff
fort material.zed when he called to say his
official farsWe ell to the president of the Pa
c:flc republic Upon that occasion Mr..
Wills assumed the role of press censor and
announced his dissatisfaction with the Ha-
wauan govern ment because it permitted
the Honolulu Advertiser to reprint an ed-
torial which appeared in The Star: AN edi-
torial which asserted that Mr.. Willis has
no value whatever in Honolulu. If any
thing, he is a standing affront to the peo-
pie for whom the people of this country
feel warm attachment" Not having any
control over the Honolulu Advertiser, Pres
ident Dole could do nothing but listen with
assumed gravity to the piping complaints
of tie thin-skinned diplomat
Minister Willis complaint was a remark
able exhibition of petulance, for no one
knows more thoroughly than does Minister
Willis how completely useless-except as
disturber-he has been in Hawaii The quo
ttation from The Star to which he took ex-
Eeption and for which he foolishly at
tempted to hold Honolulu newspaper and
the Hawaiian government responsible was
part of editorial in which attention was
directed to the fact that Minister Willis
was not in any sense representative of
the people of the United States; never at
any time during his brief and inglorious
diplomatic career has he ever done more
than voice the un-American and anti-re-
publican ideas which have so grievously
afflicted President Cleveland in his Ha-
waiian policy. As the Star has before
stated-in the editorial which aroused the
Willis ire-"the value of an American min
lister in any country depends entirely upon
his representative character Following
that came the paragraph to which most
exception was taken. In spite of the fact
that the fretful and querulous minister has
taken umbrage at some of The Stars state
ments as 10 his diplomatic status, The Star
sees no reason for amending any of its
declarations as to him. He has been merely
the personal representative of Grover Cleve-
land at Honolulu. He has never been a
tai of no enr,1a Ha

eminent of Hawaii. He is doing the proper

sisted, must cut its garment according to
It's cloth. Accordingly, an emergency tariff
Dill was prepared, carrying nearly forty
millions. This. 1t was promised, would
make things easy and even. But when the
bill was stopped in the Senate doubt arose
again as to what should be done about the
supplies, and the use of the. pruning knife
was advocated.
There were those, however, who had all
along insisted that the government should
not be stinted in its allowances Better
draw on the future, 1t was urged, than not
to draw at all. And now that the pinch
had come, when 1t was apparent that the
revenues could not be increased at this ses-
sion, but that the choice was between
starving the government or trusting to the
next Congress to provide for the deficiency
which must result from the legislation Of
this Congress, the decision must be made

There are political questions involved
which the parties WILL of course, take with
them into the coming campaign. Whether
a high protective tariff makes a full treas
ury, and therefore is good for the country,
or a low tariff, administered in times of
business confidence and prosperity, would
better serve the country's ends, may be
fought out on the stump. But those who
appreciate the real size Of this country
ana know its needs and just deserts, will
applaud that policy, belated though it is,
which in providing for the government
maintenance accords with the soundest
popular judgment. A giant does not look
