WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Eejular Correspondent.
The Repiiblicans. in Con
K'csh ha vo another bud case
of Hawaiian fever, brought
on by the news' of the very
fr-ehle revolt, ngaiiiht the re
public of Hawaii, which was
published in Saturday's pa
pers. In their ravings a
gainst the administration
llie Republicans forgot that
the absent- of a IT S. war
ship from Honolulu at the
time of the revolt-was direct-
ly due to a request, made by
President Dole, of Hawaii:
also that Minister Willis in
his official dispatch to Secre
tary (iresham, giving news
of the revolt and of its fail
ure, says: "President Dole
expressed to nie his gratifi
cation that no national ship
has been in port during this
disturbance." In o t h e r
words, that the President of
Hawaii was glad that he had
linen able to demonstrate to
the world his ability to put
down a revolt' without the
nw-u-al support winch the
presence of a foreign war ves
sel or vessels would have giv
en him. But. these are facN,
something the Republicans
nnyer trcubje themselves n
bout when they start to a
hnsing the administration.
The cruiser Philadelphia has
liwn ordered to Hawaii.
There has been no appar
ent change as to the outlook
for financial legislation dur
ing the past week. Effoits
to reach an agreement on
some bill that can be passed
are still, being made, but
prospects are not eucouiag
rog.. Represen t a t i vcrele-.-t Fi t z
geraldof Mass., was proba
bly the.first man to ask Pres
ident Cleveland the direct
question : " Will t heiv be an
extra session of Congress?"
Anyway he is the first man
who has asked the question
and made known the Presi
dent's reply thereto, which
was as follows: "I hae not
yet made up my mind. Ii
nothing is done at this ses
sion of Congress, and the
best interests of the country
demand it, I shall not hesi
tate to convene Congress a
gain, without regard to any
party feeling and uninfluenc
ed by any consideration save
that of the publicgood." Mr.
Fitzgerald then said to the
President: "'But suppose
that the Republicans under
take to pass a tariff bill and
send it to you to sign." To
which Mr. Cleveland answer
ed: i4I cannot be responsi
ble for what they (1 There
are questions to be setJr;
and ii isthedutj of Congress
to legislate upon them in its
own way. If the "new Con
gress is convened, :ny respon
sibility wil1 begin when a
measure that has passed
both Houses is sent, to me
for action."
The Naval appropriation
bill, which has been reported
to the House, carries, in ac
cordance with Secretary Her
bert's recommendations,
$12,000,000 for the construe
tion of three coast-line battle-ships;
also provision for
the construction of twelve
torpedo boats of from 100
to 300 tons each. The bill
provides that one of the bat
tl ships and three of the tor
pcd( boats shall be built up
on the PaeiflcCoast.or in ad
jacent writers, if it can be
none at a fair cost; abolishes
speed premium, and says
that one of the battle-ships
shall be named Keursage.1
When the proposition t;
build these battleships was
first made many. Congress
men were disposed to oppose
it on account of theslim con
dition ol the Treasury, but
fupon consideration o? th
tact that the largest, part of
the money for .thnrn will be
paid for labor, thus giving
needed em ploy meat to many,
the most of them have with
drawn their opposition, atuJ
it in now regarded as certain
that the bilf will go through
practically as lepoi ted.
Secretary Hoke Smith de
cided some time ago thutthe
Interior department was pay
ing the Bell telephone mon.)p
oly.entirely too much money
lor the telephones in use be
tween the main department
building and its branches,
the Geological Survey, tin;
Bureau of Ethnology, t h e
Pension Bureau, thj Census
office, the Bureau of Educa
tion and several others. The
telephone company refused
to reduce its chargeomd Sec
retary Smith 1ms made neon
tract, with otlwr parties for
the erection of a telephone
line which will belong to the
government and will save a
consideiable sum of money,
as theie will be no charges to
pay after the line is upexcept
for its being kept in repair.
The Bell Telephone Company
is threatening legal complica
tion.
Although the re-opening of
the ensf raises a doubt as to
whether thecominitteeon the
Judiciary of the House will
repot t that impeachment res
olution against Judge Ricks,
of Ohio, it may yet do so, un
less the hearing of Judge
Ricks and any witnesses he
mav introduce shall put a
more favorable aspect on the
charges against the Judge,
w h i-1 H h e co m n 1 i t tee h a s o n ce
decided were proven. Time
need cut no figure in the nidt
ter, as according to Senator
Gorman, who is good author
ity impeachment proceedings
when oncefonrinlly brought
before the Senate by t h e
House would not. be affected
by the expiration of the ses
sion, but would be taken up
at the next session jind car
ried to a conclusion. There
haveonly b?en seven im
peachment trials in our his
tory, four of them being of
judges, one of a Senator
Blount, of Tenn, one of a
President Johnson-and one
of a Secretary ot War Belk

vice of his physicians, g(UJe

r A Tempest In a Teapot.
Asheville Citizen.
The fact that there has
ben an insurrection at Hon
olulu that is to say, an up
rising o the natives against
a a oligarchy founded by force
through the contriving of a
few foreigners and theUnited
States consul came near to
being the death of a few Re
publicans in he House and
Senate on Saturday. They
railed loudly for an order by
the President, to sepd a ship
of war to Hawaii at once if
not sooner, and they did this
not because they believed or
said that Ameiican. lives or
property were in danger there
but because "our sister Re
public was in danger." B011
telle. of Maine wanted an ex
pression of sympathy sent by
the House to President Dole's
government and when M-:-Creary
of Kentucky objected
Boutclle shouted: "U p o n
your head, then, be their
blood!" In the Senate Frye
tried to have adopted a reso
lution expressing the "pro
found indignation with which
the Senate had learned of the
attempt to restore a deposed
Queen to power." and when,
011 objection by Gorman, the
resolution went, over Frye
burst out with thestatement
that "God migln forgive the
Senator who would object to
such a resolution, but the A
merican people never would.'
It. is plain that, if Boutelle
and Frye have any friends,
they ought to go to Wash
ington and take them away.
These Congressmen are dan
gerously near to becoming
what i gentleman, w hose
speech was more picturesque
than accurate, once termed
"plump insanitaries." In the
first place we have no "sister
republic" in the oligarchy at
Hawaii; it could hardly be
termed a step-sister to that
form 'of government in fact
In the next placf, the trouble
was ail over before Boutelle
and Fry had any news of it;
and, finally, Presiden Dole,
Consul Willis' telegr.nn says,
expressed' h i s gratification
that there was no warshipin
the harbor at Honolulu du
ring the trouble.
The whole Hawaiian busi
ness has been a tempest in a
teapot. The islands are si.Y
days fast sailing from us.
The population is largely
made up of people'of a kind
who are forbidden to set foot
in this country, and many of
the remainder are adventur
ers who have pushed them
selves into prominenceat the
expense of the natives who
have been crowded out of
their natural inheritance. The
idea that we should keep a
war ship in the harbor of
Honolulu constantly is silly.
We might far better expend
the money from $5,000 to
il0,000a month is what it
costs to keep up one of our
cruisers in feeding the star
ving people of Nebraskii,
meanwhile anchoring our
navy off Brooklyn.

A Few of Franklin's Claims to Great
ness.
No man had ever preached
a doctrine which more skil
fully showed how to get the
best of yourself; and no man
ever showed himself more
ready than Franklin to do
things for others. He inven
ted an open stove to give
more heat with less wood,
but. he refused to take out a
patent for it, glad of an op
portunity to serve his neigh-,
bors; and this invention of
Franklin's was the beginning
of the American stove trade
oftodav. He founded the
first fire company in Phila
delphia, and so made a be
ginning lor the present fire
departments. He procured
the reorganization of the
night watch and the payment
of the watchmen, thus pie
paring tor the regular police
force now established, ile
started a philosophical so
ciety, and he took the lead
in setting on foot an acad
emy, which still survives as
the University of. Pennsylva
nia. While he was doing
things for others, others did
things for him. and he was
made clerk of the General As
sembly in 176 and Postmns
ter of Philadelphia in 1737.
In 17o0 he was elected a
member of the Assembly, and
in 1753 he was made Post
ma.iter General for all the
Colonies. In 1748 he bad re
tired from business, having
so fitted Ms practice to his
pleaching th.it he had gained
a competency when only for
ty tvo years old.
The leisure thus acquired
he used in the study of elec
trical science then in its in
fancy. He soon mastered
ill that was known, and then
he made new experiments
with his wonted ingenuity.
He was the first to decline
theidentiry of electricity with
lightning. Using a wet
string, he flew a kite against
a thunder-cloud, and drew a
spark from a key sit the end
of a cord. Thelightning rod
was his invention. Of his in
vestigations and experiments
he wrote reports thilt were
printed in England and trans
lated in France. The Boy a I
Society voted him the Copley
medal; the French king had
the experiments repeated be
fore him; and both Harvard
and Yale made Franklin a
Master o f Arts. Hrander

A Des Moines woman whi
has been troubled with fre
quent, colds, canchided to
try an old remedy in a new
way. aimI accordingly took a
tablespoonful (four times the
usual dose) of Chamberlains
t'(ugh Remed.v just before
going to bed. The next
morning she found that her
cohl had almost entirely dis
appeared. During the day
she took a few doses of th
remedy (one teaspoonful at
it time) and at night again
took a tablespoonful before
going to bed, and on the fol
lowing morning awoke tree
from all symptoms of the
:;old. Since then she has, on
several occasions, used this
remedy in like manner, with
the same good results, and
is much elated oyer her dis
covery of so quick a way of
