Tarriff reform ia like all other food things; it comes slow, but we may count it sure- -•«-*-»•- Rumors that the Georgia South¬ er* passed under the control of the Seaboard Air line, has been de¬ nied by the officials of the road. The tarriff bill cf the Ways aad Means committee has been submit¬ ted to the House, but debate will not be?in uatil the holidays are past.

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 Few families are loo poor to be without a piano, sewing machine and a horse and vehicle of some sort. Tbe population Is 89,990. and of this number ate natives?

JJ.H.Sum rou ‘ feel weak 1 worn out take 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.

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.
