WASHINGTON NOTES.

Z NJ vi q
President McKinley's ambition is to
increase our territory by annexation, and
Hawaii and Cuba are expected to be I'M
der the protecting care of Uncle Sam be-
+ fore the end Of this administration.
Persons near the President and his ad-
visers say that this is the hope and the
expectation of the new administration
1t is an interesting fact thatif Johnson's
administration be considered democrotic,
and it was 80 regarded by the republican
party at the time, no federal, Whlg or re-
publican president has ever extended the
area of the Republic. All expansions Of
the territory of the United States have
been made under democratic admins
tration. Jefferson brought us the vast
domain of Louisiana stretching from the
headwaters Of the Yellowstone to the
delta Of the great Mississippi; Monroe
added the Floridas; Polk welcomed the
Lone Star republic to the Union, and
conducted the war with Mexico which
gave US Alta, California, New Mexico
and the dependencies from the Pacific to
the Rockies; under Pierce the Oregon
boundary dispute was settled, and the
Gadsen purchase gave us the country
: beyond the Gila river, which by the way
is the hottest part of the United States
The vast territory Of Alaska was pur-
chased BY Andrew johnson, the presi-
dent that republican party impeached.
Mckinley desires to rank with these
presidents in extending American power.
Hawaii will come first; perhaps before
the summer is over. Cuba must estab-
lish her independence first before she
can hope to get under Uncle Sans pro-
lection. ! 81. s14 .-
The democrats and their allies cannot
prevent the passage OF the Dingley bill
but they are giving the republicans some
hard questions to answer and compell-
ing them to defend the bill in every par
ticular. They are attacking the bill on
the theory that it is drawn solely IN the
interests of the corporations and trusts
which they allege furnished the cam
paign funds. A great deal Of time has
been spent arguing the question of who
pays the increased tax on imported goods
the foreigner or the consumer. +.
Representative Walker Of Mass, chair
man of the finance committee, has lately
introduced two bills which will stir the
blood Of the Silverltes The first one is
to modify the national banking laws and
J provides that no national bank shall be
required to deposit bonds to secure its
circulation, and circulation notes are to
be issued up to the full amount of the
un1mpaired capital of the bank. The
cash reserve of the bank is to be in
specie, one half Of which must be gold
Specie must be paid on demand under
penalty of "a per cent for the delay
in furnishing it. The other bill is fol-
the issue of $75O,00O,OOO in bonds to be
used in retiring the legal tender and
treasury notes now outstanding. This
bill further authorizes the sale Of silver
bullion and silver dollars at the market
rate whenever the silver dollars can't bt
be put into circulation

that Eliminates his bright features,

THE FACT that the President, Vice
President, cabinet ministers, republi-
cans and boilers persist in facilitating
the country upon the alleged revival
of prosperity, shows that they pretend
to belong 10 that class who having eyes
yet see not, for so numerous are the
business failures daily reported that
some of the newspapers insert them ur-
der standing headline, and they seem
to increase as the days grow longer.
Increasing failures, lockouts and strikes
are indicative of any thing else than

GOVERNMENTAL commissions are ez-
pensiye but proftless luxuries, except
20 those who draw the salaries attached
20 them. That such is the fact is we'll
known to all familiar with their opera

others by the recent announcement IN
respect of the interstate commerce CON-
mission to the effect, that its decisions

The people of this country are now
requested by their President to serd
provisions and clothing-"sunmer
clothing"-to those reported to be IN
straits in Cuba, by reason of the insur-
rection in that island. This, in add
ton to the $50 600 already appropriated
for the same purpose by Congress. AS
hut for the assistance rendered the Gu
ban insurgents by this country, the IN
surrection would have been suppressed
long ago, it is natural that the suffer-
ing insurgents should look to it for
help, but as there are more OF Its own
people in need of provisions and win
ter clothing than would crowd the en-
tire island of Cuba, it seems only rea-
souable that it should provide for them
first, especially as the insurgents are
solely responsible for all their own SUI
