TARIFF LEGISLATION.
No Attempt to Block 1t Will Be Made By
Senate.

Washington, March l0.-The Republi-
cans of the House will caucus Saturday
evening. There is no contest over the
speakership, and none of consequence Is
ANTICIPATED over other officers. 1t is ex-
pected therefore. that the caucus will be
devoted chiefly to discussion of a gen.
eral line of policy. 1t is likely that the
question of rules may be taken up and
the sense of tho caucus ascertained infor-
mally on the proposition to liberalize the
practices of the House.
The situation as to the tariff appears
to be very simple. 1t is expected to take
about two weeks to get the bill through
the House after it is reported, and in the
Senate the opposition will probably not
attsm ut to delay action beyond the time
they VIII want to consume in actual con-
sideratione il the committee and debate
la the Senate. The calculation is that
this will take forty or forty-fve days,
and there is no probability of delay long
er than that teing attempted.
There is an understanding among most
of the members of the opposition that
they will not attempt to attach silver
legislation to the tariff bill or enter upon
any sort of a filibnster against the bill.
They have the power to orgauize the
Senate, and they intend to take posses
sion OF the finance committee, and
probably of all the rest, but their policy
is not to interfere with tariff legislation.
The House will probably take up the
delayed appropriation bills as soon as the
tariff bill is passed. and will send them
to the Senate as soon as they can he
lassed.
1t is necessary that the general de-
1lciency should become law about the
first of May, as provision is made in it
for the customs service for May and
June. If this appropriation is not made
there will be no provision for the collec-
ton of revenue through the customs SER
vice during those two months.

BOOKS OF THE TINE.
The IAtimers.

The last decade Of the eighteenth century
was a very interesting period in the history
Of our national and social development.
The old West. as known to our colonial an
cestors was about to disappear or to recede
still further into the unknown. The last
decisive conflict between the white men,
led by General Anthony Wayne, and the
Indians was impending in the Northwest
ern Territory. In addition to important
military movements and struggles for pos
session of territory there were riots and ris-
ings in western Pennsylvania, stirred up
by the revenue laws of that period The
whisky instruction" was sufficiently
threatening to induce Washington to lead
in person an army to suppress it. In this
interesting period, and in the midst of these
stirring events, are laid the scenes of 1.-THE
Latimers, a Tale of the Western Insurrec-
ton of 1884," by Henry c. McCook. The
object of the author was to picture the life
of the Scotch-Irish pioneers of the Amer

literary merit, is full of stirring incident
and realistic scenes. It's pages bristle with
the names of localities. persons and events
connected with the early history of western
Pennsylvania and the opening up of the fur

tiers seem true to the frontier life of the
period, and the story itself abounds with

The POstoffice Department is soon to issue
an entirely new set OF postal cards, and.
incidentally, as a result of greater economy
in their manufacture, the government is TO
save at least $4,000 per year.. The CARDS
are 70 pe shentay smarter thah those now III
USE and as millions of them are issued by
the department annually, part or the saw
ing is attributable to this reduction in size.
There are to be three styles of cards in
the new issue. The ordinary single card.
for both domestic and International use, is
to be SA by 90 inches There Is to be 2

size; the ordinary single card is t. be one
fourth of an inch narrower than the corre-

design of either the single international
card the double domestic or the double in

Since the local-option law was passed in
Massachusetts, in 1881, there have been re-
markable fluctuations in the votes of many
cities In view of this general divergence of
opinion throughout the country, small
group of men, known as the Sociological
Group about forty years ago, decided to
enlarge their number to fifty and to concen-
trate their attention upon the liquor prob
lem in the United States. 1t was their
purpose to collect. impartially all accessi-

direction of a subcommittee of three, COM
posed of Charles w. Eliot, Seth Low and
James G. Carter an investigation was be-

laws in eight States where different re-
strictive laws were in force. The results
of this inquiry have been published under

LOOK OUT FOR JAPAN.

The Japanese minister to the United
States has returned from his country full
of assurances that Japan has no aggressive
intentions against Hawaii or hostile ones
against the United States. Japan" he
says, has always maintained amicable re-
lations with the United States, and it is not
our purposes now to take any steps that
would lead to a breach of mutual good will.
but, at the same time, Japan will stand
firmly on the maintenance of its rights and
privileges acquired under treaty with the
Hawaiian government" He says Japan will
not withdraw her protest against the an
nexation of Hawaii She will not resist
the acquisition of the islands by the United
States, but she will continue to protest,
and if annexation is accomplished 1--WE hope
to be able to enforce our demands for in
demnity for the violation of treaty rights"
These statements are accompanied with re-
iterated assurances that Japan has no
Interior designs against Hawaii The min
lister is probably lying-an accomplishment,
by the way, in which Oriental rulers and
statesmen excel. AS above remarked, he has
just returned from Japan. 1t is not at all
likely that he made that long and tedious
journey simply to obtain the information
that his government would not recall it's
protest against annexation That informa-
ton could have been conveyed in a few
words by cable. Nor did the minister go.
home of his own motion. If he had done
so without permission he would have been
beheaded or disemboweled. He went home
because he was ordered home by his gov
eminent for the purpose of receiving i'm
portant secret instructions which it was
thought best not to send by ordinary chan
nels of communication. OF course, these
instructions related to Japans policy and
intentions towards Hawaii. She intends to
acquire those islands if she can. That has
been her intention for some years past,
though it has been CLOSED over with
policy of permissive immigration
and colonization. Her immigration treaty
with Hawaii was intended as a cover for
her colonizing scheme BY it the camel got
it's nose within the tent, expecting to get
its body in later. Japan has her eye on
Hawaii, and intends to have it if possible
At present the United States stands in the
way, and annexation looms up strongly be-
tween Japan and the contamination of her
desire. If these can be got out of the way
she will resume her scheme of acquisition
either by stealthy aggression or forcible
seizure This is the meaning of her present
diplomatic fencing with the United States,
and of the minister's carefully weighed ex-
pressions. If we do not annex and possess
Hawaii Japan will, and the coming great
naval power of the East will hold the key
of the Pacific ocean.
