Hawaii. That was one of the last acts of
President Harrison's Administration.
On April IA the American Protectorate was
Withdrawn by Commissioner Blount, who
had been sent there as the Presidents direct
representative. The Administration made an
unsuccessful attempt to reinstate the de-
throned Queen.
The Republic of Hawaii was proclaimed
by the Revolutionists July IA, 1893, and on
Aug. 8 il was officially recognized by the
United States Government
Party feeling ran high. The people were
not in accord with the action of the Admins
tration. Their sympathies were in the inter-
est of Hawaii.
In the Summer of 1893 money panic as
severe as this country was ever called upon to
meet swept over the land Banks refused
the usual discounting accommodations, it
mattered not how financially stable the parties
Public confidence was lost
The panic was attributed to the "Silver
Purchasing Act" The President convened
special Congress to take measures toward
relieving the pressure After long and
bitter debate, the Silver Repeal Act was
passed Oct. 80, 1893. Party lines were oblit-
Grated.
On Dec. 10 a Tariff bill, known as the Will
son Bill, was sent to the House 1t was con-
tested for % days, and passed Feb. l, 1894
1t was debated in the Senate until July and
after numerous amendments was passed by
strict party vote, 1s2 for and 106 against
the measure
The House rejected the 634 Senate amend
ments In gross. The Senate demanded the
passage of their bill, or no tariff legislation

Magnificent Memorial to BE Unvailed o.

Magnificent Memorial to he Unvailed ON
the 2ad Instant.
After more than 10 years delay tho
great equestrian statue Of Gen. Logan
erected by Illinois is ut last finished, and
will be unvailed next week, on the ami
verssry Of the battle of Atlanta, when
he took command of the Army of the Ten
nessee in the face of defeat, with McPher-
son dead, and the triumphant Confeder-
ates doubling up tho Union line, and when
by the foroe Of his magnificent leadership
he turned disaster into victory. The statue
is by Augustus st. Gaudens Of New York,
Americas most famous sculptor, who has
contributed another important work to Chi
cage, which adorns Lincoln Park-ths statue
of Abraham Lincoln, unvsiled some 10 years
ago BY his grandson, the Inflated young
man whose untimely death in foreign land
touched the hearts of the American people.
This last werk of st. Gaudens is q fitting
tribute Of affection from people proud of
the great volunteer soldier who rose from .
private to the command of an army, and
who was born and nurtured on her soil. It
is eminently proper that they should take
him home to Illinois to sleep in peace to the
end of time, and it is fitting, too, that the
metropolis Of the State be loved so we'll and
for which he dared SO much should be the
guardian Of his grave. The statue stands
upon the Lake Front, in the heart of the city,
upon mound In the magnificent park. The
figure is mounted, bearing aloft a battle-fag
and turned toward the south; upon the left
rolls the broad expanss Of Lake Michigan,
and on the right spreads away the city to-
ward the undulating prairies that do not
stop till broken by the foothills of the Rocky
Mountains.
When ST. Gaudens took the contract he
demanded four years in which to produce
the first model, and he set about with
characteristic energy to collect material in

The bill was not satisfactory to the Presi-

out his signature on Aug 81, 1894. An in
come tax provision had been inserted in the
bill at the suggestion of the President. After
much rancorous debate it had limped through

passed by reluctant Senate. The United
States Supreme Court afterward decided 1t
unconstitutional This was disappointment
to the President, for it reduced the Govern
ment revenue $50, 600, 600.
The President, therefore, had to ask Of
Congress the authority to issue gold bonds !;
or, by the change in the tariff laws the Gov

For the past five years The IA
TIoNAL TRIBUNE has been exceedingly
helpful to those desiring to attend Ma
tionsl Encampments and other great
gatherings by enabling them to easily
secure the necessary railroad tickets.
We propose TO repeat this great serv-
ice to them this year, with reference to
the GAR National Encampment at
Buffalo, \. Y. next August.
We will give frst-class round-trip
ticket to Buffalo and return from any
point in the United States for club of

These clubs will be proportioned to
the distance of the place from Buffalo,
but we will make liberal arrangements
in regard to them.
They can be very easily raised. THE
NATIONAL TRIBUNE has been greatly
improved, and is by long odds the most
attractive and interesting paper in the
country. 1t requires little effort to &C.
cure subscribers for it.
This is splendid opportunity. Com
rsdes can readily provide their own
tickets in this way. Sons and daughters
ct veterans can make their fathers an
agreeable present. which will enable him
