IN CONCLUSION

Presented to this congress are great
opportunities. With them come great re-
spOnsibilities. The power confided 10 us
increases the weight OF our obligations
TO the people and we must be profoundly
sensitive Of them as we contemplate the
new and grave problems which confront
us. Aiming only at the public good. we
cannot error. A right Interpretation OF
the peoples Will and Of duty cannot fail
to insure wise measures Cor the welfare
OF the islands which have come under
the authority of the United States and
inure to the common interest and lasting
honor of our country. Never has this
nation had more abundant cause than
during the past year for thankfulness TO
God for manifold blessings and mercirs,
for which we make reverent acknowledg-
ment. WILLIAM M'KTNLEY.

HAWAII
AN ANOMALOUS POSITION


Some embarrassment in administration
has occurred by reason of the peculiar
status which the Hawaiian Islands at
present occupy under the joint resolution
Of annexation, approved July :. 1898.
= While by that resolution, the republic of
Hawaii as an independent nation was ex-
tinguished, its separate sovereignty de-
stroyed and its property and possessions
vested in the United States. yet COM
plete establishment Of its government IN
der our system was not effected. While
the municipal laws of the islands not en-
acted for the fulfllment of treaties and
not inconsistent with the joint resolution
or contrary to the constitution az the
United States or any of its treaties re-
main in force. yet these laws relate only
20 the social and internal affairs Of the
islands and do not touch any subjects Of
Importance which are of q broader ma
ticnaI character.
EXAMPLES OF HARDSHIPS.

A WASHINGTON ANNIVERSARY

The 14th Of December Will be the one
hundredth anniversary Of the death Of
Washington. For hundred years the
republic has had the priceless advantage
of the lofty standard of character and
conduct which he bequeathed to the
American people. 1t Is an inheritance
which time instead of wasting, continu-
ally increases and enriches. We may
justly hope that in years to come the
benignant influence of the Father TOT his
Country may be even more potent for
good than in the century which is draw
ing TO a close have been glad to learn
that in many parts Of the country the
people will fttingly abserve this historic

CIVIL SERVICE

The executive order OF May s. 1895. ex-
tending the limits Of the classified serv-
ice, brought within the operation OF the
civil service laws and rules nearly all Of
the executive service not previously clas-
siiied. Some OF the inclusions were found
wholly illogical and unsuited 10 the work
of the several departments. The applca-
ton of the rules TO many OF the places
so included was found 10 result In fric-
ton and embarrassment. After long and
very thorough consideration. it became ev
ident 10 the heads of the departments re-
sponsible for their efficiency and harmo-
hious administration certain amendments
We're necessary. These amendments were
promulgated by me in executive order
dated May .. 1899 The principal pur-
pose of the order was 10 except from
competitive examination certain places
involving fiduciary responsibilities or du-
ties OF a strictly confidential. scientific
or executive character. which il was
thought might better be filed either by
non-competitive examination. or in the
discretion bf the appointing officer than
by open competition. These places were
comparatively few in number. The order
provides for the filing of a much larger
number of places. mainly in the outside
service of the war department by what
Is Known as the reSlSIraU 0n system. I'M
der regulations to be approved by the
president; similar TO those which have
produced such admirable results in the
navy yard service. All Of the amend
ments had for their main object more
efficient and satisfactory administration
of the system of appointments establish
ed by the civil service laws. The results
attained show that under their opera
ton the public service has improved and
that the civil service system is relieved
OF many Objectionable features which
heretofore subjected 1t TO Just criticism
and the administrative officers to the
charge of unbusinesslike methods IN the
conduct OF public affairs. II is believed
that the merit system Is greatly strength
ened and its permanency assured. 10
will be my constant aim in the admins
tration of government in our new posses
sions to make fitness, character and mer-
r essential to appointment 10 office and
TO give to the capable and deserving In
hahitautS preference in aDDOinfmanfs

market mas been quite lively, and
buying was brisk, but the manufacturers
and large wholesalers were quite anxious
to sell, and especially courted the large
buyers. He also says that he bought the
largest and brightest spring stock that he
has ever purchased. and by buying an i'm

lower prices than ever. Mr.. Fulton was
highly pleased with his January business,
which showed great increase over that of

to give his patrons greater values than
ever when his spring stock is in. At
