It is natural that the whites in
Hawaii should make a determined
effort to rnle the islands.
They have carried civilization and
progress to a land of perpetual
summer, where nature will feed,
clothe and shelter people almost
without an effort on their part.
The conditions of life are eo easy
that the moderately industrious
rapidly accumulate property. Haw¬
aii has fifty-six miles railway, 250
Ejiles of telegraph lines, street cars,
electric lights, and almost every
house in Honolulu has a telephone

3 IRON BITTERS
Washington News,
Proceedings of the past week at the
National Capitol.
Washington, Dec. IS,
From our regular Corretpo/ulaU.
Representative Holman, chairman
of the democratic caucus has, alter
consulting with his democratic col¬
leagues decided not to call the cau¬
cus which it has been determined
to hold to consider the Wilson bill,
untill after the Christmas recess.
There are several rewsous, all good,
for this decioion. Many democrats
have already gone home to spend
Christmas and if the caucus had
been held this week it would ootiS' -
quently have been slimly attended.
Besides, thosewho spend thoir hol¬
iday at home will get au oppertuni
to learn just hi w the Wilson bill
has been recieved by their constit¬
uents which will enable them to lay
before the caucus any objections
which may exist. It is in fact very
fortunate that the bill has been de¬
layed. It will enable tbe democrats
to do what never has been done be¬
fore—consult the people about the
details of a tariif bill.
The republicans of the House
have announced with a great flour¬
ish of trumpets that they will not
vote with demociate who oppose
any section of the Wilson bill to
amend the measure. A more un¬
necessary announcement was never
made. It was, of course made solely
for the purpose of misleading the
country into the belief that there
are enough democrats who wish to
amend tbe bill to succeed in doing
so, if the republicans would only
vote with them. There are, it istruo
a number of democratic Represen¬
tatives —not so large, however, as
the republicans would like the
the country to believe—who will
endeavor to gel the bill amended
iu caucus, but failing in that thele
are not five of them who will refute
to vote for for the bill.
The House has shown itself to be
thoroughly in aocord with the pol¬
icy of the democratic party by tak¬
ing advantag of the unavoi3able de-
lay in getting the tariff bill ready
to bills admitting to statehood
Utah, Arizona and New Mexico,
althougu repuDucau niinus6em. s
made it necessary for the commit
tee on Rules t* report continuing
orders before it could be done. The
people of these territories are not
likely to forget this republican fil¬
ibustering.
Congressmen, particularly those
who have been so precipitate in the¬
ir criticism, will do well to spend a
part of their Christmas holiday in
studying President Cleveland’s
special message and the Hawaiian
documents of which it treats. It
will not be necessery for them to
endorse the Presidents Hawaiian
policy in its entirety to discover
how absured Senator Hoar’s recent
remarke about impeachment were
There bi s been neither teehnial
noi actual violation of either the
letter or the spirit of the Constitu¬
tion by the President; the idea
that there had, was conceived by
malignant partisanship and nurt¬
ured by such men aa Hoar.
Mr. J. R. Sovereign, the new head
of fh® KriiShts of labor, is in Wash¬
ington, in attendance upon the con¬
ference of the Executive committee
of the Bi-metallic League, with
which he is in sympathy. Speak¬
ing of the tariff he said : I am an
out and ont free trader. The so-
called protection of American labor
is a delusion. Labor is not protect¬
ed. Invested capital receive* a bo¬
nus in tbe form of protection, and
it is then optional with the capital¬
ist to give a share of the bonus to
labor iu the form of increased wa¬
ges. But this option ia seldom,
if ever, exercised. There is food for
reflection in these words ofMr.Sov-
•riga, who is certainly in a position
to speak from the point of view of
the American wage-earner.
Representative Culbertson, chair¬
man of the House Judiciary cam-
raittee considers it very doubtful
whether a bankruptcy bill of any
kind will pass at this session. Repre
sentative Oates will introduce anew
bill modifying the Torreybill, which
W(s recently killed in the House.
It has about been decided that
ihe internal revenue hill shall in¬
clude an inheritance tax, but it is
(.till an open queution whether this
t-:x shall take the place of tbe pro- i
posed income tux or shall be in ad¬
dition thereto. It is not considered
probable by members of»the Ways
and Means committee that the in¬
ternal revenue bill will be reported
to the House to-morrow, unless
something now unexpected shall
prevent, but it will not be called
up tor debate until after the recess
Direct Trade’s Growth
Colonel Avery elsewhere tells the
great resul >s to soutnern commer
ce from direct trade in two years
Tha figures ore official and are
remarkable. The quiet growth oftne
soutnern foreign business hes been
amazing.
From 1890 to 1892 southern ex¬
ports grew more than the exports
of all of the other United Stats*
customs ports. The increase of our
southern exports was 187,000,000
against $82,000,000 at all of the
othet ports. The import business
at the Southern ports swelled 25
per cent, while the imports at the
other ports of the country grew
less than 5 per cent.
These are astounding facts, They
demonstrate that the south is on
the right line of commercial ex¬
pansion, and has every encourage¬
ment to push the direct trade pol-
icv
Three lines were started in Oct¬
ober and are running successfully
and the reports from the bars of
Savanuhh, Brunswick and Charles¬
ton are that 22 feet of mean high
water have been obtained at each
of them, with the. certainty of
greater depth.

cnristmas Thoughts.
By J U Yaubrocgh.
Wrltten for The 5' ews.
l et not the praises of worthy friends
Corrupt a no ble mind,
Nor the abuse of austerest men,
Constrain yon to recline.
Hliaii.not each action speak full well,
The in ten ts of the soul?
And swiftest utterance always telt,
Our hears when warm or cold ?
Here should our lights in splendor shine,
To illuminate the ptlgiitn’s day;
And thus unfold aChristmas shrine,
For consolation on his way.
Why do we precious moments spare,
When bright jewels around us lie,
And travel along iu thongr tless care.
To let others fall and die?
There are treasures on every path oflife,
Thar may pass with unconscious thought
Idly dreaming iu undying strife,
Averting what they should have Sought.
Tho’ scores will miss the miser’s hoard,
His coffers of dazzling wealth,
They covet all it can afford,
And seek their silent stealth.
bo, millions fail to reach the height
They deem the pleasures of the world;
H ard they struggle, but still they tight
With banners of misery all unfurled.
One road we lind to earth or heavenly
From which most travelers delay, (fame,
They shrink, with insolence in shame,
To walk where Chi 1st prepared tire way.
Oh ! that I could shine as a brilliant light
In the hearts of desparin men;
And point to a w;:y more clear and bright
Where happy yoiCes together blend.
