A committee was appoiuUtd to deal uirectlv with the lob printers, snd the newspapers were served with police that they n"d not apply, Ao cordinalv tbey did not apply. The committee got bids from Job printers Edwards a Broughton, and from m, ax. Uzzelt. and it is said, mails contracts with ihem. When the committee re ported to the caucus, for some unso- countable reason it reversal its pre vious action, Ignored the Ji-o printern whobsd made bids; praaticuiiy rtin suted Mr. Daniels as publio printer. snd pive him the work, but lopped off '.he 15 per cent, royalty he baa oeen gelling on It.

OUB WASHIKGTOU LETTEB From Our tegular CorrcondenL - WASHWOTOK, Feb. 17, 1803. Mr. Harrison may have had tbe best of motives for' the manner' In , which he acted -about the annexation-' of Hawaii, hut there is something about it which lu another man would have been called sharp practice. The Im prerslon was allowed togoout that 1 annexation was recommended it would be by act of Congress, which would give the House as much Say about It as toe Senate, But this week L be sent a treaty which the Secretary of State bad negotiated with the Hawai ian, Commissioners, providing for im mediate annexation and leaving; the legislative details to be arranged by tbe next Congress, to the Senste, urg ing li the special message which went with It that tbe treaty be promptly ratified. - : It is argued lo favor of this railroad ing business that it was too late in the session to get legislation on tbe subject, and that H was - necessary to ... take such action. ,- Democrats In tbe House fail to see the point In such an argu ment., Many of them are strongly in favor of annexation, but they can see no good reason, so long as the matter will have to be completed under Presi dent Cleveland's ad minis! ration, why It was not left for bis administration to lg!ajt...,.v:- Granting that to do it by treaty and not by an act "of Congress was the best way, there Is no getting around the fact that within two weeks the Senate of tbe Fifty-third Congress will be in extra session for tbe purpose of eon- firming Mr.- Cleveland's noroloitiocs for the cabinet and other important positions, and that there .would bave been oext to no delay In allowing this trsaty to go over and be sent to . the Senate by Mr.' Cleveland, if it met with bis approval. That would have been ustand proper J the present arrange ment Is neither. It is stated that JMr. Harrison received positive assurance before the treaty was sent lo tbe Sen ste that it would be ratified, and be feels so easy about It Ibat be baa gone dnck-shoollnp, to remsin until next week, It Is, of course, possible for tbe democratic Senators lo prevent action on the treaty at this session, but there ate so many of them who have com mitted themselves In Its favor that ft Is not very probable. . ! The official announcement of the selection of four members of Mr. Clsve Isnd's cabinet has been much talked about since It wss received. Mr, Car lisle's selection wes known before and bad been enthusiastically received by democrats In Congress. Judge Gres bsm's ability Is admitted, by all, but bis democracy Isn't, and for trat rea son his selection, as Secretary of estate, wss not received with as much fsvor raatbatof Carlisle. Den Lemoot astded no Introduction to the uemo- erata la Coogrees, all of whom expect him to prove a model Secretary of War atdare glad that be 's to "go up higher." Mr. BIssell la. not widely known among public men, but those wbo do known him speak la sncb high terms of bulb his ability and bU demo crat that bis selection to be Post master General meets with much favr.' The republicans bave bee a and are still trying to use JuJge Grer bam as a lever to create distention in the rsnka of the democratic psrty, but tbey are meeting with poor soccers. No good democrat Is foolish enough lo expect that every man selec'ed es a member Of the cabinet will be Lis per sonal choice for the place. Every student of biftory knows that circum stance bave quite es much, and ottea more, to do lib the cbilce f run- bnrs of Uie caUoet than tbe personal indications of the rrerideer, lo sy ootb'cg of other members of tbs J"1"" J Tbe edvaatege of bavlrg elf ar te Jed butleets me a In Ccrt-ress wss sever mors conspicuously trorpbt out than wbeo Senator Ei;s ia a fve minots Ulk eifrlaie-ed bt wou: i : lbs vtatu of the !ock t.i' 1 V J t Xicarngtua cnal ccir;ar.y, la f .. . the bill now B:!i f nsri.t.--I i-.ifrK ca T " ' ' J tf !"'' to iu l, t. -s. a lw.

It is not surprising that Mr. Smith Tbas been richly endowed with natural gifts when we regard the history of bis kid. Ills ratner comes or itevoiutionary stock from the grauite bills of New Hsmspbire. and is related to the Adams family, which: has been dU- tiucuisbed for many generatious. ; He came to North Carolina as professor of modern languages; and manied Miss Mary Ureut . tloke v ol : tiiucolnton.

Ue married Miss Mary Fulleoweider, of Lincoln, and a daughter of tnat union became (he wife of Michael Hoke, of the same county. : Tbe parents of Michael Hoke moved to Lincoln county from York, Pennsyl vania, about 1780. The father, John Hoke, was a man of every unsuul char acter. He was noted for bis courage, fearlessness and enterprise. In every respect be was a superior man.
