Elm Street, - - GREENSBORO, N.O foreign policy His utterances von the Hawaiian question will be . read, with interest and are given in full, as follows: The Hawaiian Trouble It is hardly necessary for me to state that the questions arising from our rela tions with, Uawan have caused serious embarrassment. Just prior to the installment of the present administration the existent gov ernment of Hawaii had been suddenly overthrown, and a treaty of annexation had been negotiated between the pro visional government of the islands and the United States and submitted to the senate for certification. This treaty 1 withdrew for examina tion, and dispatched Hon. James H. Blount, of Ueoreia, to Honolulu aa a special messenger to make an impartial investigation of the circumstances at tending the change of government and of all the- conditions bearing upon the subject of 'the treaty: ; After a thorough and exhaustive ex amination, Mr. Blount submitttd to me his report, showing beyond all question that the constitutional government of Hawaii had been subverted with the ac tive ' aid of our representative ." to that eoverment and through the intimidation caused by the presence of an armed na val force of the United States which waa landed for that purpose at the instance of our minister. Upon the facts developed, it seemed to me that the only honorable course for our government to pursue was to undo the wrong that had been done by those representing us, and to restore, as far as practicable, the status existing at the time of our forcible intervention. . With a view of accomplising this re sult within the constitutional limits of executive power, and recognizing all our obligations and responsibilities growing out of any changed conditions brought about by onr unjustifiable interference, onr present minister at Honolulu has re ceived appropriate instructions to that end. Thus far, no information of the accom plishment of any definite results have been received rr&m nun. Advices are soon expected. When received they will be proptly sent to congress, together with all other information at hand, ac companied bv a special executive mes sage fully detailing all the facta necessa ry to a' complete understanding or tne case, and presenting a history of all the material events leaumg up 10 me present situation. Oar Karopn Relation. Our relations with France continue to be intimate and cordial. I sincerely hope that the extradition treaty with that coun try, as amended by the senate, will soon be In operation. nue occasional queRtions affecting our naturalized citiwiis returning to the land of their birth have arisen in our inter course with (ivrinany, our relations with that country continue satisfactory. The auctions anectuiK our relations with Great Hritaln have been treated in a spirit of f riendliue. Xe gotiations are in progress between the two governments witn a view to sucn ucnrrenii aciion as will make , the award and regulations agreed upon by the Uenring sea tribunal of arbitration pnvctk-ally effective; and it is not doubuid that (Jre-at Britain will. co operate freely with this country for the ac complishmeiit of that purpo-"!-, - 'Nicaragua baa paaed through two rev olutions, the pitrly at first HiiceesHful hav ing in torn been displaced by another, and our newly appointed minister, by his time ly good omces. aided in a peacerul adjust ment of the controversy involved in the first conflict. Hie large American inter ests established in that country in connec tion with the Nicaragua canal were not molested. The canal company has. unfortunately. become financially seriously embarrassed. but a generous treatment baa been exten ded by the government of Nicaragua. The United stated is especially lnterestea in the successful achievement of the vast un dertuking this company has in charge. , That it should be accom plished under distinctively Ameri can auspices anu us enjoyment assurea not only to the vessels of this country as a channel of communication between our Atlantic and Pacific seaboards, but to the ships of the world in the interest of civili sation, is a proposition which, in my judg ment, noes not admit 01 question. Guatemala has also been visited by the Eolitical vicissitudes which have aftlicted er Central American neighbors., but the dissolution of its legislature and the proc lamation of a (iictatorhhip nave been un attended with civil war. An extradition treaty with Norway has recently liee exchanged aud proclaimed. The extradition- treaty "With Russia, signed in March, lSbT, aud amended ana confirmetl by the senate in February last, was duly protdairaed last June. The dispn growing but of the dis criminating ; lls imposed in the Wel land canal, upon careoes of cereals bound to an rom the lake ports of the United Statt,v was' adjusted-by the sub stitution of a iiore equitable schedule of charges, and ny predecessor thereupon suspended his proclamation imposing discriminating tolls upon, British transit through our canals. A request for additions to the list of extraditable offenses covered by the ex isting treaty between the two countries is under consideration. The Surrender of Weeks, Costa Rica h is lately testified ita friendliness bv su rrenderins to the United States, in the absence of a convention of extradition, but upon' duly submitted evidence of criminality, a noted fugitive from justice. It is trusted that the ne gotiations of a treaty with the country to meet recurring cases of this feind will soon be 1 accomplished. In my opinion. treaties for reciprocal extradition should be concluded with all those countries with which the United States has not already conventional arrangements of that character. I have deemed it fitting to express to the governments of Costa Rica and Co lombia the kindly desire of the United States to see their pending boundary dis pute finally closed by arbitration in con formity with the spirit of the treaty concluded between them some years ago Aboat Department Keporta. The president renews, Italy, the re- porbr of the various departments and calls attention to the important features in each.: ...,. He commends the report of the secre tary of agriculture and endorses the spirit of reform manifested by that oflicial. Regarding the fee system in the judi cial department, Mr.. Cleveland strongly urges its abolition, lie says: The system is thorough vicious wnica makea the compensation of court officials depend upon the volume of such business and thus creates a conflict between a prop er execution of the law and private gain. which cannot fail to be dangerous to the Tights and freedom of the citizens and an irresistible temptation to t he unjustifiable expenditure of public funds. Regarding the report of Secretary or the Interior Smith and his efforts to cor rect and prevent "wholesale and gigan tio" f rands such as had formerly been perpetrated upon the pension depart ment, Mr. .Cleveland says: l am unable to understand way trauas in the pension rolls should not be exposed and corrected with thoroughness and vigor.' Every name fradulentty put upon these rolls is a wicked imposition upon the kindly sentiment in which pensions have their origin. Every fradulent pensioner has become a bad citizen: everv false oath in support of a pension has made perjui'y more common, and false and undeserving pensioners rob tne people not only ot tnwir money, but of patriotic sentiment, which the survivors of a war fougnt tor tne preservation of the union ought to inspire. Those who attempt. In the line or duty, to rectify these wrongs should not be ac cused of enmity or indifferent to the claims of the honest veterans. The unnbtr of pmoa remaining en the tells Job SO, 1893, ho were pensioned aadtr tot ef Jane 27, 1890, which allow pensions oa aeoouot of deth and disabii ity sot chargeable to army service, 430,155. The number added t a tLe roll daring the year wm 123,631 and tbe number droppd wti 33,6y0. Tue first payments on pensions allowed daring: th year amount ed to 137,678.647.73. This Includes the ex eats alette a between the time from which the allowance of pensions dates and the time of eotually granting the certificate. Althongh tht law of 1890 permits pensions for disabilities not related to military service, yet a a requisite to its be u fits a disability must exist incapacitating aj pit- cants, "from the performance of manual labor to suoh a degree as to render thstn anablo to earn a tupport." The execution of this law in its early stages does not seem to have been in ac cord with its true Intentions, but toward the olose of the last administration, an authoritative construction was given to the statute, and since that time this con- ; structlon has been followed. This has had j the effect of limiting the operation of the 1 law to its intended purpose. The discov- ery having beem made that many nam. " had been put upon, the pension roll t j means of wholesale and gigantic- fraud, j the commissioner suspended payments S neon a number of pensions which ieeml to bo fraudulent or unauthorized, pnditg ; aeomplete examination, giving notice 'o the penslonsrs, in order that they might ' have an opportunity to establish, if posiil. ; ble, the jostle Ot their claims, nothwitii- : Standing apparent invalidity. ; This, I understand, is the practice whirfe : has for a long time prevailed in the p-a- : alou bureau, but after entering upon ihe recent investigations, the coamisioner modified this rule so as not to allow until after a complste examination Interfercnra ; with the payment of a pension apparently now altogether void, bat which merely 1 had been fixed at a rate higher than that : anthorised by law. The condition of the Indians and their ltlmale fa'e are subjects whicb strongly appeal to the sense of justice and the sympathy of our people. Onr Indians Bumber about 248,000. Most of them are located on 161 reservations, ceataiaing 80,116,531 acrss of laud. Abt ut ' 110,000 of these Indians bav, to a iargu degree, adopted civilized customs. .Lands ' la severalty have been allotted to many ot them. Such allotments have been made to ' 110,000 lndl iduals during tbe last nca year, embracing one million acres. Thi number of Indian goverrment echooli pea during tbe jjr wi 195, an incrtae : of 12 over tie precedicg year. Of tfci total 170 are on reservations, of which 73 were boardisg-scLoois and 07 were day. schools. Twenty boarding schools and five day schools, supported by tbe government, were not located on reservations, lie total number of Indian 'children enrolled daring the year as attendants of all sclooi was 21,138, an increase of 1,'231 over the i rollnieat for the previous year. I am sure that secular education an ' tneral and religious teaching must be iui- portant factors in any effort to Bave tb. Indian and lead him tj civil z ition. 1 believe, too, that the relinquishment ot tribal relations and the holdiug of land ir severalty may, ia favorable conditions, r ibis consummation. It seetm to m, lion ever, that allotments of land in several It onght to be made with great care and cii umtpeotion. U hastily done, before tbe Indiau know - its meanisg, while yet he has little or u idea of tilling a farm, and no conception v thrift, there is grat danger that a reserva tion life la tribal relations may be x ehangod for the pauperism of civil izatlr instead of its independence and elevation The solution of the Indian problem de pends very largely npoa good administra tion. The personal fitness of agents and their adapahility to the peculiar duty ol taring for their wards is ef the utmost im portance. ,"";;'' Tha law providing that, except In espec olal eases, army officers shall b detailed a Indian agents, it is hopfid, will prove h successful experiment. There it danger ot groat abuses creeping into the claims for Indian depredations and I recommend tta' that every possible safeguard be prov.do i against tbe enforcement of fraudulent claims of this description. j Secretary of 'Agriculture.' The secretary of tbe interior has sup' vision of so many important subjects tha kis report is of especial value and interest On the 30th day of June. 1893, there wer on the pension rolls .'966,012 n.iuies ; an in rsass of 89,944 over the number oa tin tolls June S0;b, 18P2. Of these, there were 17 widows snf daughters of revoln tion ary sold ;er.-, 86 v r Ivors of the war of 1312; 5.425 widows o soldiers of that war; 21,518 survivors uih: Widows Of the Mexican war; 3,Sfe2 sur Ivors and widows of Indian wars; 2 I army nurses, and 475,645 survivors ai.i widows and children of dnceasBd aoldie.t and Sailors of the war of the rebellion Ihe latter number represents tlioo pen sioned on aooount of UisaSi : ties or tlurttk resulting from army and l.uvy service. The report of the secretary of ' sgrienbur. will be found exceedingly iutere-atiug. pecially to that large part of- our cil.zi'ir Intimately concerned in agricultural oucu pations. On the seventh day of March, 1893, then were upon its iay roll 24:W employee. Tbif number has been reduced to 1850 per sons. In view of a depleted treasury , and the Imperative demand of th people for economy in the administration; of their government, tbe secretary has en tered upon the task of rationally reducing expenditures by the el mlnation from th payrolls of all persons not needed for av ofSoiont conduct of the affairs of the de partment. . . '" "."..,'.. Daring the first quarter of the present oar. the expenses of the department aa gregates 435,876.76, as against 402,012.4; for the corresponding period of the nsca ear ending June 30. 1893. The secretary makes apparent his Intention to eontinn this rajf oi t,utism JZJSlSUIAlIl! mates for the next fiscal year loss by 1994,- 230 than those for the present year. Among the heads of divisions in g tbe beads ol aivislons m xnis ae- partmsnt, the changes have been exceed ingly few. Three vacancies occurring fro deaths and ressignatlon have been filled by promotion. These promotions of expo rlenced and faithful assistants have not only been in the interest of efficient work, hut have suggested to those in the depart ment who look for retention aad, pro motion that merit and devotion to duty are their best reliance. The amount appropriated for the bureau of animal Industry for the ourrent fiscal year is 850,000; the estimate for tbe ensu-' ing year is 700.000. The regulations of 1892 concerning Texai fever have been enforced during the last ysar, and the large stockyards of the coun try have been kept free fro Infection. Oocsnional looal outbreaks have boon .largely such as could bave been effectively guarded against by the owners of the affeov ed cattle. ' "' While contagious pleuro-pnenmcnla in cattle has been eradicated, animal tuber culosis, a disease widespread and mors tdangerous to human life than plenro-pnen mcnia, is still prevalent, lnvestigatioa has been made during tbo past year as to the means of its communication and thi method of its correot diagnosis. j , Much progress has been male in this dW rection by the studies of the division ol animal pathology, but work onght to b extended in cc-operation with looal aaJ thoritiea nati the danger to human Ufa arising from this canse is reduced to s minimum. I The number of animals arriving from Canada during the year and inspected by bureau officers wes 462,092, and the numJ ber from trans-Atlauilo coumr.ss wa( 1.297. No contagions dissasss were found among the imported animals. The total number of inspections of cattle for export during the past f scrl year was 611,542, t exports show a fl log off of about 25 pet cent from the preceding yter, the decrease occurring entirely in the lest half of thf ysar. This eugie-ts that the falling ofl may Lava been largely due to an lnoreas in the nrlci C) Aioeikan export cattle. Darin; the year ending Juno 30, 1893 experts of Inspected po k aggregated 20, 677,410 pounds as against 38.lv2.874 pounds for tbe prece ing year. The failing off In this export was no eenflnad, however, to inspected perk, tl 4 j total quantity exported lor 1893 being 665 ! '.0 016 pounds while in 1893 It was On'yl '-. - 27.S' ,695. pounds. " ' . 1 ium the secretary in recommending I that hereafter each applicant for the poet . tion of inspector or assistant iaspeeter in the bureau ot animal Industry be requlredt I as a condition precedent to his appoint t ment, to exuiblt to the United 8tatee cii aervica comiiasion hia diploma Irem in j established terinary college, and that ' this be supplemented by auoh an examina tion in vsterlnary science aa the oni mis sion may prescribe. j The work of the statistical division of the. ' department of agriculture deals with alii t that relates to the economics of farming. : The main purpose of its monthly reports U to ktep the farmers informed, as fully . poibe, of all matters having any lnflu I ence upon the world's markets in which i their products find sale. Its pnhllca- i tions relate especially to b ; comroercial aids of farming. It U, therefore, of profound importance aad vital i-oiioern to the farmers of the' , United state, w no represent nearly one : half of cur population, aud also ot direct interest to the whole country, that the 1 worn oi tnis eiv sion d emeieatiy per form!, and that the inforoiatioo it has gathered be promptly diffused. It is a matter of congratulation to know that the tecretary will not spars any effort to make this part of his work thoroughly useful. j In the year 1S39 the congress appropri ated $1,000 to be taksn from the patent effice funds, for the purpose of collecting and distributing rare aud improved varie ties of seeds, and for prosecuting agricultural investigation and precorlr.a; tgricultural statistics. From this sma beginuing the srd division of tho depart-: aieat ft aifrirnlture has grown to its pree tat unwinding and unjustiflablo oxtrava; I especially commend to the attention ol the congress the statements -..contained ia the secretary's reports concerning ferrectry! The timeha eosne when efficient measure should be taken for the preservation of oai forests from indiscriminate and remediless destruction. " Tbe recent opening to settlement of ths lsnds in the Cherokee on I-t. embracing an area ol C.530,000 seres, notwithstanding the almost ears Jn framing the regnlations gov0rtti0 the selection of locations, and notwith standing the presence of the United States troops, furnished an exhiblUon, though perhaps in a modified degree, of the mad scramhie, the violence and the fraudulent occupation which have accompanied pre vious openings of publio land. I concur with the seoretary in the bellol that these outragsous Incidents cannot be entirely prevented without a ebaago In tk laws on tbe subject, and I nope hls.reoom. mendatiaos In that direction will bo favor ably considered. The sum expended on account of pen sions for the vear ending June 30, 1893, was 16.740"47.6:0. The commi&tiioner estimates thai 3fir ooO.(kK) vill be reauired to pay pen sioTis duiinsr the year ending June 30, 1S04. Tiie conuirion of the Indians and their ultimate late are subjticts which strong ty appeal to the sense of justice and the sympathy of our people. Itecommonds Army Reorganlxatlon. The operation of wise laws and the influf net s of civilization constantly tend ing t relieve the country from the dan gers of Indian hostilities, together with the increasing ability of the states, through the efficiency of the national guard . organizations, to protect their citizens from domestic violence, lead to the sugijestioH that the time is fast ap proaching when there should be a reor ganization of our army on the lines of the present necessities of the country. This chance contemplates neither in crease in number nor added expense, but a redistribution of the force and an en couragement of the measures tending to greater efiiciencv among the men and improvement of the service. The adoption of battalion formations for infantry reeiments. the strengthen ing of the artillery force, the abandon ment of smaller and unnecessary posts, and the massing of the troops at impor tant and accessible stations, all prom ise to nromote the usefulness of the armv. in the judgment of army officers, with but lew executions, the operating oi tne law forbidding the re-enlistment of men after ten years' service, has not proved its wisdom, and while the arguments that led to its adoption were not without merit, the experience ot tne year con strains ine to ioin in the recommenda tion for its repeal It is erratifviiiir to note that we have begun to gain completed results in the comprehensive scheme of seacoast de fense and fortification entered upon eitrht Years airo. A laree sum has been already expended, but the cost of main tenance will be inconsiderable as com pared with the expense . of construction and ordinance. At the end of the cur rent calendar year the war department Will have nine 12-inch euns, 20 10-inch and 34. pi(rht-inch eruns ready to be mounted on mm lifts and carriages, and 75 twelve-inch mortars. In addition to the product of the army gun factory. m compiv. -n at- vv atervuet, the gov ernment lius contracted with private parties for the' purchase of ' 100 guns of these caliber . the first of which should be delivered to the department for test before July 1, 1894. The manmacture ot Heavy ordance keeps pace with current needg; but to render these guns available for tne pur pose they are designed to meet; emplace ments must be prepared for them. Progress has been made in this direction, and it ib desirable that congress ' by ade quate appropriations should provide for the uninterrupted prosecution of this necessary work. The Sherman Law Repeal. Highest of all in Leavening: Power Latest U. S. Gov't RcftfT The recent repeal of the provision of law requiring the' purchase of ' silver bullion by the government as a feature of our monetary scheme nas made an en tire change in the complexion of onr enr- rency affairs. I do not doubt that the ultimate result of - this action will be most salutary 'and f ar-reaching. v In the nature of thing, However It is impossible to know at this time precisely What conditions will be Drought about by the change, or what, if any supple mentary legislation may, in the light of such conditions, appear to be essential or expedient. Uf conrse, after tne reoeni perturDa- tion, time is necessary for the. re-establishment of business confidence. f When; however, through this" restored ' confi dence, the money which nas been fright ened into hoarding places is returned to trade and enterprise; a survey or tne situation will probably1 disclose a safe' path leading to a permanently sound currency abundantly sufficient to met every requirement t onr increasing population and business. T . . . . . j A. J ; . S in tne pursuit or una odjoc we snouia resolutely turn away from all alluring and temrxirary expedients, determined to be content with nothing less than a; lasting and comprehensive financial plan. in inese circumstancea x ain convmceu that a reasonable delay in " dealing with this subject, instead Of being injurious, will increase tne probability oi wise ac tion.' - The monetary conference which as sembled at Brussels upon our invitation, was adjourned to the 80th day of No vember in the present year. The consideration just stated, and the fact that a definite proposition from us seemed to be expected upon the reas sembling of the conference led me to ex press a willingness to have the meeting still further postponed. It seems to me that it would be wise to give general au thority to the president to invite other nations to such a conference at any time when there should be a fair prospect of accomplishing an internationai agree ment on the subject of coinage. . I desire alao to earnestly suggest thV wisdom of amending the existing stat-? utee in regard to the issuance of govern- ment bonds. The authority now vested in the secre- tary of the treasury to issue bends is not as clear as it should be, and the bonds authorized are disadvantageous to the government, both as to the time of their maturity and rate of interest. , A Civil Service Advocate, f Regarding the workings of the civil service, the president announces his hearty approval of the custom, and gives it unqualified support. He says: The continued Intelligent execution of the civil service law and the increasing ap proval by tbe people of its operations Hre most gratifying. Th recent extension of its limitations and regulations to th etpployea at free delivery postonicea, which has been honest- iv nd nromDtlv accomnlished by the com mission, with the hearty co-operation of the postmaster general, is an immensely important advance in the usefulness of She system. I am, if possinie, more man ever con vinced of the incalculable benefits con ferred by the civil service law, not only la Its effect upon the public service, but also what is even more important; in us eaect In elevating the tone of political life gen erally. ... . If in addition to this reform, another was inaugurated, which would give to the United States commissioners ine nnai dis position of petty offences within the grade of misdemeanors, especially those coming under internal revenue laws, a great ad vance would be made toward a more re sent administration oi a criminal law. Tbe Tariff Issue. After a hard struggle, tariff reform is lirectly before us. N jAmg so important claims our attention and nothin, clear ly presents itself as both an opportuuily and a duty an opportunity to deserve the titude of our iellow citizens and a duty mposed upon us by our oft-repea' 'xl pn- fessions and by the emphatic mandate of the people. After full discussion, our countrymen have spoken in favor of this reform, and tbey nave con tided the wort oi its accom plishment to the hands of those who are solemnly pledged to it. If there is any thing in tne theory of a representation in public places of the people and their de sires, if public officers are really the ser vants of the people, and If political prom ises and professions have any binding; our failure to Rive the relief so long awaits ed, will be shown reverancy. Nothinar should intervene to distract vnr attention or disturb our effort until this reform is accomplished by wise and care ful legislation. While we should staunchly adhere to the principle that only the necessity of rev enue justifies the imposition of tariff du ties, and that they should be limited by strict economy, we cannot close our eyes to the fact that conditions have grown -up among us which, in justice and fairness, call for discriminating care in the distribu tion of such duties and taxation a the emergencies of our government actually demand. Manifestly, if we are to aid the people directly through tariff reform, one of its most obvious leatures snouia oe a reduc tion in present tariff charges upon the necessaries of life. The benefits of such a reduction would be palpable and substan tial, seen and felt by thousands, who would be better fed and better clotnea ana better sheltered. Those, gifts should be the willing benefactions of a government whose highest function is the promotion of the welfare of the people. Not less ciosely related to our people s nrosTwritv and well beinir is the removal of restrictions upon tbe importation of tue raw materials necessary to our manuia -urea. The world should be open to our na tional ingenuity and enterprise.. This cannot be while federal legislation, through the imposition of high tariff , for bids to American manufacturers as cheap materials as their competitors. It is quite obvious that the enhancement of the price of our manufactured products,' resulting from this policy, not only con fines the market for these products within our own borders to the direct ' disadvan tage of our manufacturers, but also in creases their cost to our citizens. The interests of labor ' are certainly, though indirectly, involved in this feature of our tariff system. The sharp competition and active strug gle among our manufactures to supply the limited demand for their goods soon fill the narrow market to which they are oonflned. Then follows a suspension of work in mills and factories, a discharge of employes and distress m the home of our workingmen. - - - Even if the often disproven assertion could be made good, that a lower rate of waaes would result from free raw mater ial and low tariff duties, the intelligence of our workingmen leads thens quickly to discover that their steady, employment, permitted by free raw material; is the most important factor in their relations to tariff legislation. A measure has been prepared by the ap Cpriate congressional committee, f em ying tariff reform on the lines herein suggested, which will be promptly : sub mitted for legislative action. It is the re sult of much patriotic and unselfish work, and I believe it deals with its subject con sistently and as thoroughly as existing conditions permit,. - Biffing!'' i am satisfied that the reduced tariff duties provided for in the proposed legis lation, added to existing internal revenue taxation, will, in the future, though per haps not immediately, produce sufficient revenue to meet the needs of the govern ment. About An Income Tax, 1 The committee, after full consideration, and to provide against a temporary defi ciency which may exist before the business of the country adjusts itself to the new tariff schedules have wisely embraced in their schedule a few additional internal revenue taxs, including a small tax upon income derived from certain corporate in vestments. These new assessments are not only ab solutely just and easily borne, but they have the further merit of being such as can be remitted without unfavorable busines disturbance whenever the necessity for their imposition no longer exists. In my great desire for the Success of this measure I cannot restrain the suggestion that its success can only be attained by means of unselfish counsel on the part of tariff reform, and as a result of their will ingness to subordinate personal desires and ambitions to the general good. The local interests affected hy the proposed re form are so numerous and so varied that if all are insisted upon the legislation em bodying the reform must inevitably fail. In conclusion, my intense feeling of re eponsibilty impels me to invoke for the manifold Interests of a generous and Con fiding people the most scrupulous care, and to pledge my willing support to every legislative effort for the advancement of the greatness and prosperity of our coun try.
