Washington Letter.
(From Our Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Dec. 10. 1897.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 10: 1897.
The most astounding thing
brought to light by the first week
of the session of Congress is the
audacity OF the agents of the lob
by which is trying to prevent the
annexation of Hawaii. It is only
necessary for a senator or repre-
sentative of prominence to express
in private conversation the slight
est DOUBT of the wisdom of annex
alton to have these agents an
nounce through such newspapers
as they control or can by hook or
crook obtain space in cash is TN
questionably paid in some in
stances-that tho senator or repre-
sentative in question is straining
every nerve to defeat annexation.
They have thus misrepresented
Senator Morrill, and Hoar and
Speaker Reed. It seems as GER
tain as anything can be that such
audacity is in the end bound to re-
act upon those who employ it, and
to result in making more votes for
annexation than against it. This
lobby was started by the sugar
trust, but there are reasons for be-
lieving that portion of the mon
ey it is spending so literally
comes from tho secret funds of
three foreign nations which desire
to prevent annexation, but have
no reasonable excuse for attempt
ing to do 80 openly. Some of the
democratic senators who talk the
loudest against trusts, during a
campaign, are acting in concert
with the sugar trust now. In fact,
with two exceptions, German and
Morgan, all the democratic sena-
tors appear to have landed, bag
and baggage, in the lobbist's camp.
Senator Davis, of MIMI, charm an
of the committee on foreign rela-
tions, which has charge of the
treaty, is thoroughly confident
that annexation will be accomplish
ed through the treaty, and abso-
lutely certain that bill providing
for annexation can be passed by
both Senate and House, should the
power of the lobby be sufficient to
prevent the ratification of the trea-
| ty. It is his intention to push the
matter to a conclusion in the Sen
ate at the earliest possible mo-
ment.
Senator Chandler, chairman of
the committee on elections and
privileges, says that committee
will decide upon it's report in the
Oregon case at it's next meeting
and that he has no doubt the re-
port will be in favor of seating
Hon. III. w. Corbett, as successor
to Hon. J. II. Mitchell, whose
term in the Senate expired last
March. If the democrats who
have expressed themselves in fav-
or of seating Mr.. Corbett vote
that way he will be seated.
The House committee on appro-
priations broke the record when it
reported the pension Appropriation
bill to the House thus week, thus
furnishing evidence that Chairman
Cannon and the industrious mem
bers Of his committee intend to do
their part towards pushing the I'M
perative business of the SESSION, in
order to help the project for early
adjournment, which is generally
favored by the republicans. The
Pension bill carries $141, 218 $3.50,
of which $140,000,00O is for the
payment of pensions.
It has already been made ap-
parent that a serious attempt is
going to be made atthis session of
Congress to modify the civil ser

We said few weeks ago that,
"the man who receives the repub.
lican nomination for governor Of
Minnesota next year should be q
man of clean personal character
with ali official record and connec-
ton that need not be apologized
for, and be a man who is able to &c
out and lead the fight. We have
done enough carrying the candi-
date about en- a pedestal to be
looked at and apologized for"
Mr.. Weaver hardly sizes up to
this standard. We do not know
that there can be very much said
against his personal character OF
business honesty. Neither do We
know that he has ever filed any
position that would bring out his
executive ability and prove his
fitness for the position of governor
of the great state of Minnesota. 1t
is true if he would show good
Judgment in the selection of a pri-
vate secretary the business might
RIM along all right, as it has done
before. But we do not want to
elect a man governor who has got
to depend on his private secretary
to fill the governors chair. Mr..
Weaver may possess the ability,we
do not know,h has not been tried,
but there is great deal of differ
ence between making sale contracts
