PENSION FOR MRS. M'KINLEY.
widow of Mnrtyred President to RE-
ceive $1,000 Yenr-DemOcrats
and Sontherners Favored 1t.


ceive $1,000 n Yenr-DemOcrats
and Sontherners Favored 1t.
Washington, April 12.-The House
to-day passed the bill granting PEN
sion to the widow of President McKin-
ley at $4,000 per year. 1t had pre-
viously passed the Senate, and now
goes to the President for signature.
Although favorable action on the meas
ure was unanimous, an inquiry by
Mr.. Bell of Colorado. as to the prece-
dents for such action led to an ami
mated discussion. Mr.. Bell contended
that many widows of poor soldiers
were without pensions, and that Mrs.
Mckinley had independent means,
making pension unnecessary.
Mr.. Grosvenor of Ohio severely crit
icised Mr.. Bells position.
Mr.. Richardson of Tennessee and
several other Democratic members
spoke for the bill as in line of prece-
dent. Mr.. Richardson said he had seen
granted several pensions to the wild
ows of Presidents. The custom had
stood from time immemorial. II this
was the first case, it might be desira-
BILE to stop and inquire as to the need.
But as this was a time-honored pre-
cedent he would be the last to break
that precedent in the case of William
Mckinley.
Mr.. Richardson announced himself
emphatically in favor of the bill.
Mr.. Kleberg of Texas declared that
If for no other reason this pension
should be passed because President
Mckinley wiped out the last vestige
of sectionalism. AS one who had worn
the gray" Mr.. Kleberg said, he Joined
in this act of justice to the widow of
one who had worn the blue"
Mr.. Kluttz of North Carolina ex-
pressed regret that any voice had been
raised Against this pension. He con-
sidered it an absolute duty that the
widows of our Presidents should be
| Placed beyond the peradventure of

the murder. as the money Mr.. Polk
was known to have had on his person
was missing, except a few cents.

Review Of the Press.
MAUI is SATISFIED

The Advertiser is to be commend
ed for the conservative tone which
it has adopted, relative to political
matters. Its tacit approval OF the
policy marked out by the News,
two years ago, will prove very effec-
tive in consolidating the better
elements Of Hawaii in local politics
The Bulletin, which numerically
quzzsd the News two years ago,
has long since seen the error OF it's
ways, and for some time past has
been standing shoulder to shoulder
with the News in the matter of
cons ,lidating for good government.
The Hawaii Herald is all tight on
the proposition, and the Hilo Tri-
buns is mellowing. The Independ
ent has besn all right all the time,
and the bright little Hawaiian Star
coming round ell right. But the
press Of the Islands cannot do it all
Back of them lies clear major y
of intelligent votera, and it is to
them to relieve US of the ignorant
tyranny OF Wilcox Personal ambi-
ton is the only "snake" which a
combined effort Of the intelligent
class of voters have to fear, and

quietly but firmly be shelved, tc

Last week the Herald telegraphed
to member of the Territorial Exc

Cupid receive endorsement of Oahu
delegates in convention. Will they
consider Little for Congress-" The
answer received lsat Wednesday

clinee. Situation now points to
Boyd or Robertson. Who do you
mean by Ltt'e?" This shows that
there is a possibility that Cupid
may accept, and if he does it is also
possible that he will receive thu
endorsement by the Republicans.
