EMANCIPATION IN EUROPE.

1t seems to be the fate of every good
movement for the advance of the hui
man family to have its counterfeit to
contend with, often more detrimental
to success than open opposition. The
idea known under the name OF enamel
patton of woman is no exception TO
this rule.
Not long ago congress called In
the interest Of the cause was held at
Paris. The presiding genius was
teacher in boxing, and one of his prop
ositluns was that the members should
pledge themselves to work for legis-
lation to abolish matrimony. 1t was
urged than any covenant concerning
fidelity between man and woman must
be considered immoral because i'm
possible to keep inviolate. Probably
the supporters of this proposition be
lieve in the old gnostic philosophy of
reducing man to the level Of an ami
NAL MS II sure road to exaltation.
Another congress in the same spirit
was held at Stuttgart. The delibera-
lions here We're less dramatic but
hardly less radical. The refrain was
the injustice OF man In eNacting
obedience" of woman. 1t was urged
that women must be given the right
to determine the circumstances under
which they choose to fulfil the duties
imposed upon them by matrimony"

AGAINST ANNEXATION.

The presence in this city on Thurs

Hawaiian Islanders il a matter of
more consequence than the simple an
nouncement of it conveys to the aver

are all natives, well educated and
thoroughly informed regarding the
political situation as between their

The case of the commissioners Is an
object lesson in the study of ones re-

times Is the line between patriotism
and treason. might. opportunity and
sagacity not infrequently being the
arbiters. For contending for the con-
tinued possession OF the land of their
nativity by those to whom, apart from
legal distractions, IL would seem to be-
long, these men are arrayed against

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

President McKinley's message to
Congress win be read with interest,
especially the paragraphs relating to
currency reform, the Cuban insurrec-
ton and the annexation OF Hawaii.
on the first of these questions the
President points cut that the great
difficulty the government has to con-
tend with is that 1t must redeem notes
in gold, while not receiving gold In
payment. and the natural consequence
of this Is that gold must be borrowed
to make up the difference between the
receipts and expenditures. He rec
ommends that every note redeemed in
gold by the treasury he set apart. only
TO be paid out in exchange for gold.
If put out in any other way 1t may
return and necessitate another bond
issue for its redemption. He also
recommends that national banks be
authorized to issue notes to be re-
deemed In gold.
The troubles of Cuba are reviewed at
some length. SPANS warfare is
severely criticized. but the fact is
emphasized that the understanding be-
tween Spain and the United States
now is more satisfactory than 1t was
with Sagasta's predecessor. What
the Spanish government has promised
to do for Cuba is set forth and the
recommendation made that Spain be
given time to carry out her inten-
lions. The President argues against
the recognition of the insurgents as
belligerents and any Intervention by
this country at the present time.
Concerning Hawaii President Nc
Knlcy urges annexation without fur
Their delay.
In the paragraph devoted to the
report on the mission of Messrs. VOL
colt, Stevenson and Payne to Europe
In the interest of bimetallism, the mes
sage states that negotiations are still
pending. and the hope is expressed that
they will, ultimately lead to interna-
tional agreemnt
A recommendation likely to meet
with opposition is one that quarantine
regulations in states be entrusted to
the authorities in Washington. 1t is
not claimed that the measures adopted
by the states have proven inadequate,
and those jealous of state rights will
regard legislation in this direction
with suspicion.
Other subjects treated on are our
merchant marine, international afbi-
tration, the Paris exposition, our navy
legislation for Alaska, the condition OF
Indian Territory, the sale of the Unior
Pacific and the estimated expenditure
of the government,
The message is not very lengthy
document. 1t states the views of the
administration clearly and sometimes
with great force.

CURREScY REFORM.

President Mckinley, in his message,
points out the liaes on which,in the view
of the administration, monetary re-
form should be attempted. But some
OF the leaders OF the Republican party
express doubt as to the possibility OF
carrying out the program. Mr.. Ding
ley, chairman of the committee ON ways
and means, is quoted as saying:
If the senate were republican and
In harmony with the majority of the
house on monetary questions, 1 should
look for currency legislation, but with n
free silver majority in the senate an
tagonstic to the ideas of the major
ity OF the house as to what constitutes
q sound currency system. l do not see
how 1t is possible to secure desirable
currency legislation of an important
character until the senate Is brought
to harmony with the house. Possibly
some desirable amendments to the
national banking law might be passed
by the senate The house joint reso-
luton for a joint committee to con-
slider and report on needed currency
legislation passed at the extra session
is still in the hands of the finance COM
mittee of the senate and may be re-
ported back and considered by the SEN
ate as soon as congress reassembles.
Probably bankruptcy legislation
will be the first to come up after such
appropriation bills as may be ready.
1.-The voluntary bankruptcy bill
Iassed by the senate during the extra
session was referred to the House
judiciary committee. which may be
ready to report 1t back before the
Christmas recess. The House will
probably pass substitute on the lines
of the Torrey bill, as it did two years
ago. and then the two bills viii go to
conference. Probably the conference
committee of the senate and house
will agree on compromise measure
which will become law"
