SENATOR PIATT is too practical a
politician to think of carrying the coun-
try without carrying New York, and he
has told the republican editors so. He
says that that State will be the battle
field this year, aud as there are abundant
evidences OF republican alarm in New
York this is encouraging to the demo-
Gratis. For want of something better to
say he told the editors that whoever
might be the candidate, "that which
gives energy, purpose and character to
the democratic campaign will be the
spirit of socialism" Commenting on
this the Philadelphia Record says
"From rObber baron TO the British
landed aristocracy on the one side, and
our protected manufacturers and trust
promoters on the other, every monopo-
list believes firmly that opposition to
monopoly, to corners and to greed Is
rauk socialism,"

To Reduce Tariff.

Having thus far failed to secure from
the House ways and means committee a
report on any of the pending bills for
tariff reduction, democrats of the House,
through Representative Champ Clark,
OF Missouri, yesterday brought about the

the essence of all those now pending in
committee seeking tariff reyisiOns in favor
of important articles.
Mr.. Clark has entitled his bill one to
reduce the tariff on "prime necessities.
1t provides a reduction not less than 90
per cent. of the present rate on the i'm
port duties on common salt Of any kind,
barbed wire, woven wire for fencing,
binder Irvine, logs or sawed lumber, white
paper, wood pulp or any of the ingredi-

to her own and her amiability to all
many of her Deighbors believe she died
of broken heart.

CONGRESSIONAL.

After a day devoted to quiet, routine
proceedings, the Senate was treated to
spirited speech by Mr.. Bailey just before
adjournment yesterday on the question
of the civil service. The subject came
I'D in connection with paragraph in the
sundry civil appropriation bill. Mr..
Bailey announced in plain terms that he
bad no sympathy with the ''irldescent
dream" of civil service. He declared
that each party should control the pa
tronage while in power, and avowed HIM
self spokesman. Mr.. Hale said he was
in accord with much that Mr.. Bailey
said. but added that Congress could not
be induced to change the law, even
though convinced that it should be
charged. -
The Panama canal bill occupied the
major portion of the day, and was passed
without division. Mr.. Spooner made a
speech in support of the bill, and was re-
piled to by Mr.. Morgan.
The sundry civil appropriation bill
was taken up and was under considera-
ton when the Senate adjourned.
Consideration of the general deficiency
bill was resumed in the House after a
number Of minor bills had been passed.
The Presidents recent order regarding
service pensions was attacked by Mr.
Underwood, of Alabama, who cOntended
that there was no warrant in law for It,
The President also was criticised by Mr..
Hay, of Virginia, because of certain sus-
pensions of the civil service rules and
regulations.
General debate on the deficiency bill
will close today, and the bill will be read
for amendment.

THE students of the University of Mis-
souri, have petitioned the faculty to serve
them with only two meals. Experiments
recently conducted by six dormitory stu
dents seemed to show that a student was
in better health and spirits to do hard
mental work when only eating two meals
a day, so they requested that the noon
meal be eliminated. To people other
than students it would seem an easiser
matter for them to eliminate themself
from the meal and this could be done
without petitions and without action by
the faculty.

Mr.. ROOSEVELT conferred yesterday
with Speaker Cannon and Senator
Spooner upon the advisability of having
further investigation ofthePostofice De-
partment. The decision was reached
that there has been enough probing and
that there shall be no more. The republican
leaders, when they heard of this decision,
expressed great qualification and said
that the postal agitation would now die
a natural death. The President, 1t Is
said. has been much concerned in the
matter of further investigation, but he
has been easily convinced that the demo-
cratic demand for a thorough congress
sional probing is made for campaign
purposes, and he is opposed to the idea
of having an investigation by sub
committee of Senator PenrOse's COM
mittee on postofices and postroads. The
prediction is now freely made that no
recommendation Of any kind will be
made in the Senate touching this matter,
the result being, of course, that there
will be no investigation by Congress.

New York Stock Market.

New York, April 16.-The stock
market this morning was extremely slow
and there was little significance to any OF
the fluctuations. The character of the
speculation is perhaps best illustrated
by the fact that up to 1885 a. m. there
had been no transactions in some of the
leading stocks. Virginia-CarOlina Chem
ical continued weak, in consequence Of
the proposition to increase the preferred
stock. The changes in the railroad list

priating 800, 900 for the construction

ton directing that the committee on

further consideration of the resolution
calling upon the Attorney General to re,
port what negotiations are in progress
between the United States government
and the New Panams. Canal Company.
He asked that .Ine Senate proceed to its
consideration.
Mr.. Morgan charged suppression. He
called for a vote.
Mr. Kittredge moved that the resolu-
ton be referred to the committee on
interoceanic canals.
Mr. Morgan objected. The Chair held
that the motion was in order. 1t is one
method of killing the resolution.
Mr.. Morgan expressed his indigna-
ton. He declared that such a proceeding
would mean a protracted debate. "The
Senate had better agree to a VOTE" he
declared significantly.
Upon request of Mr. Aldrich the motion
to refer was withdrawn.
Mr.. German urged that the resolution
be agreed to. "There is nothing asked
for that could not be furnished" he de-
cIared, "and nothing that would embar-

House The entire theater was filled
and the operetta was given with as
much vim as on Saturday evening. The
many interesting stage pictures pre-
scented are such as are easily worth
seeing more than once and many of the
first night audience went again. The
gathering of Mother Goose characters
and carrying out of some of the quaint
and pretty little ploss of the famous
nursery rhymes make a theatrical
show as bright and interesting as any

tions. There will be a matinee tomor-

APPEAL FOR ORPHANAGE.


The following appeal for Kona Or
phanage las been issued:
Within the last five months S29l4 92
has been paid out to feed, clothe, edu-
cate and take care of the children at
Kona Orphanage. Only $551.90 OF this
amount was given by the good people
of these Islands. 1 furnished the rest,
with the exception of $22.5S which was
given by friends on the mainland.
There is now no money i'm the Or
phanage treasury, and haven't
enough in my private account to pay
all Ophanage debts to the fifteenth Of
this month.
AS the people of the Islands have
so promptly and generously responded
to appeals for the Orphanage in the
past, 1 believe they will do so now.
Those wishing to contribute may de-
post the money at Bishops Bank, OF
send it direct to me.
Some of the leading merchants and
friends of the Orphanage are now MAX
ing un boxes of useful articles, which
will be sent on the Mauna Loa Friday.
These will be greatly appreciated.
Any one wishing to send Christmas
gifts may leave them with Trent d Co.
on or before the 18th of December.
A detailed report of Kona Orphanage
is now being printed which win ac-
count for all money received and spent
for the Orphanage during the past five
| years.
