Death is rapidly thinning out the ranks of the printers at the hotDital at Colorado Springs. Six. men nave died since the opening of the house and others have been sent to a more hospitable climate to prolong their 8 nattered lives.

Penaion Revision Moat Dome. On the 1st of January last the number of pensioners had swelled up to 931,224, and by the 4th of March when the new President shall be in augurated, the number will be up to a round million. The present Commissioner of Pensions estimates that the number of pensioners will increase under existing laws until they reach 1,209,- 000. and require about 1200,000,- 000 annually to pay them. Of this $200,000,000 not less than $50,000,000 are paid to persons who baye no just claim to them under our liberal laws, and it is probable that even a larger proportion of tne aitouut paid goes to undeserving persons who nave obtained their pensions by perjury ot (political fa vontism. No party in this country proposes or desires to lessen or revoke the pensions of an honest soldier or his widow or children: but honest men ef all parties are detirmined in the purpose to make tne list ox pension ers a roll of honor by exposing and dismissing all fraudulent pension ers.

The eyes of pleuuieeekers be loe: now tamed toward, the na. tional capital as the theatre of at& nificent entertainment and august ceremonial during !the coming month and both the eyes and hearts of omoe-seekers leaching longingly thereto as tbe shrine of the fruition of ambitious hopee it will not be amies to give a running sketch o what meaner of eity is this within whose walls the national Demo eracy have pitched their tents, and where, in JeQeraonian simplicity they aim so to reform tbe badly d'sjointed affairs of government and remedy great evils as to make this people nappy, contented and Prosperous tfus "house of onrfath ers," as Geo. D. Wise, of Virginia, said to Bou telle, ot Maine, "where in we hate taken our seats and where we mean to stay," Rapidly becoming the most bean titul city in tbe world, Washington is indebted for its splendor to al the appliances of art, scientific civil engineering and avast expen diture of money, for it is almost entirely without natural advan tages, being originally a vast mo rasa west ot the capital to the Gap itoltothe White House, a basin partially enclosed by a broken am phitheatre of bluffs, and extending in a marshy plateau to the roto mae. The city was planned by Maivr L'Eofant In 1790 and the construction of buildings, tbe run ning ot streets and avennes, etc were carried out in accord an oe with the original design. Georgetown, now a connected surborb ot the great city, was for many years a place of no little ltn v - -.... . rortance. while Wasnicfton re mained little more than a strag gling .village without drainage, nn paved and badly built, indeed. up to within a few years ago, it was noted, ontside of its pnblio ed ifices, chiefly as the oity of magnifl. cent distances, in which it was painfully difficult to get from one point to another. About twentv years aco Oon Kress abolished the municipal char tors' of Georgetown and Washing ton, placing the District ot Uolom bia under a territorial lorm of gov eminent, and later it repealed the enactment for this also, placing the government in tbe hands of three commissioners and since 1871 Washington Oity has increased in population from 109,000 to 229,- OUO. lne people nave utterly no voice in the management of their municipal affairs, and, forming tbe seat of government of tbe freest people on earth, are tbe virtual subjects of an absolute despotism This incomparably beautiful city has over 379 miles of streets and 70 mile of avenues, ranging wldtn from W to lou feet, as mooth as a ball room floor snd kept as clesn as a provident house wife's sitting room. Its paiks and ornament eronnds are extensive and planted in the rarest flowers and shrubbery, and, with the ex ception of fib a w's Garden, at St. Lome, the approaches to and tbe groinds sarrounding tbe Sol dier's Home are said to be the most beaatilnl in the United 8tates. The public buildings of the gov ernment, beginning with tbe cspi tol and including theWoite House ftRKrefte over $40,000,000, and within the new bnilding of the Pension Department is the most magnificent ball room in tbe whole world.

The most important news brooght by the steamship Australia, which ar rived from Honolulu last night is that United States Minister Stevens had established a protectorate over tbe Itlaads. At 9 o'clock on the morning of the 1st instant, when the start and strips were raise 1 orer Aliuolani Hall, Minister Stevens Issued the following pro clamation: To Ilattaii an People At the request ot the provisions government of the Hawaiian Is lands, I hereby, in the name of the United States of America, assume protection of the Hawaiian Islands Lr protection of life and property snd occupation of tbe public build ings on ; Hawaiian sou as lar as may be necessary for the purpose specified, but not interfering with the administration of publio affairs by tbe provisional government This action Is taken pending subject to negotiations at w and snbj 'ash ing, (Signed) John L Steveus, EovoyExtraordinary.MinisterPlec- ipotentiary of the United States, United State. Legation, Feb, 1, '93 Approved and executed by 0. C Wiltie, captain United Bute. steamship Boston. The Advertxter says, regarding Mr. Stevens' proclamation, that this action was principally due to incessant agitation on the part of certain whites, who have always been tbe curse of the country, coupled with English and native newspaper efforts to discredit and block the new jrovernraent. These agencies spread through the town a feeling ot uneasiness and distrust. The provisional government con cluded that some positive step was necessary and that it would be isest to call on tbe United otatos for direct assistance. The Adver tiser, continuing, says: At 3:30 a m. on the '1st, the Boston s battal ion landed ender Lieutenant Commander Swinbnrn and went up to the government building wheie detachmentsjfrom yolunteer companies of the provisional goy eminent were also drawn up Lieutenant Bush received Minister Stevens' proclsmation and on tbe stroke ot nino tbe stsrspangled banner fluttered np the staff on tbe tower. 1 he nag was saluted by the troops and marines and heavier guns of the Boston, and Hawaii was under Uncle Bsm s wmg. The Railroad tax Matter. Raleigh, N. 0 , Feb. 9, The Legislative Kail road Committee, in secret session toenight, decided to reject the proposition made by the Wilmington & Weldon Kail road Company tor payment of taxes and surrender of exemption A majority of the committee, it is understood, have made the follow ing proposition to the Railroad: To pay three years back taxes on the main line and all branches; surrender all exemptions, includ ing tbe ratefixing provision in the charter, and to give legislative control ot stems from the maine line not exceeding three miles in length. The Railroad Company has not indicated what action it will take. A Chicago dispatch says: Tbe Herald prints a New York dis pstcb stating that Judge Walter Q. Gresham nas been tendered the Secretaryship ot Stale by Mr. Cleveland, and has accepted, Tbe dispatch states also that Mr, Cleveland will make the fact pub lie in a day or two.
