On YES indeed. indeed,
4 oond little bow is Tommy Reed,
After being compelled nv the majority
Of the house to get out Of the way of the
consideration Of the resolution for the an.
n.xation Of Hawaii. Car Reed has the
audacitv 70 saw through his thick and
thin followers. that he never had stood
in tine way Of the majority. or intended to
stand in the way. This comes too late
to helm the politic.l fortune of the czar-
ex.czar now. He has been deposed by
Mr.. Mckinley and will never again WELD
the autocratic power he has had. The
annexation resolution will be voted u,on
"Wednesday afternoon Of this w..k. and
will. Of course. he adopted. About %
democrats have announced their inten.
ton to vote for the resolution.
The fact that the war revenue law p,o.
yides for the coinage of the silver bullion
owned bv the government at the rate of
81 soc. 600 a month DESTROYS every argyll
m.nt advanced by the rold standard men
against the coinage of the seiynoraye.
The amount TO be coined each month is
less than was proposed bv the silver men.
but authorizing the coinage of any
amount was a recognition of ihe prinriple
advocated by the silver men.
1t is already announced that the sugar
trust and the Standard oil trust will re-.
fuse to paw the tax of one quarter OF one
cent on their gross receipts i'm excess of
$3.50 900 imposed by the war revenue
| law, and will 20 into cou.t to fight the
constitutonaity OF the law.
1t is openly charged on every hand that
much OF the inconvenience that the
troops have been put to has been directly
traceable to the incompetence of many Of
the civilians appointed to important staff
