is the only duty or tax that many of our
colored population pay the State, but
Xet there be a law enacted that a voter
show his tax receipt before he is entitled
to vote, and the tax will be forthcoming.
Let there be a wheel tax to keep up
our public highways and the improve

everybody to pay their taxes before ihey

. Washington, Feb. 15, Prtii
dent HarrUott ha officially recognized
the Hawaii Commissioners ana inti
mated to them that he favored annexa
tion, and in h w days, probably tlm
week, he will end a message tt con
gress recommending the necessary leg
islation, wun certain conditions to be
detailed in his message.
Wlnie many congressmen believe
hatMinister Stevens acted entirely
too hastily in establishing a protecto
rate without instructions, the prepon
derance of congressional opinion seems
to be that outright annexation, or pro
gressive annexation; mac is, a con
tinuance of the protectorate for a
given period to be followed by annexa
tion now necessary in order to
maintain the national honor, which is,
of course, the first thought of every
congressman, however much they may
diner as to methods.
The settlement depends much upon
President elect Cleveland. If he in
forms the leaders of his party that he
intends calling an early extra session
of congress this matter will probably
be allowed to go over, but such will
hardly be the result of mere rumors of
an extra session, believed by many to
have been started for no other pur
pose than to influence voters on the
silver question, which was settled for
the session last week. It congress
will not meet again before next De
cember, there is little doubt that
President Harrison s recommendation
will be promptly acted upon. Oue
gentleman who is on terms of intima
cy with Mr. Cleveland told me. that
his impression was that Mr. Cleveland
would be pleased to see this Hawaiian
business finally disposed of at this
session, as he expects to have enough
domestic problems to fully occupy his
time for some time after his inaugura
tion. There is good logic in this view
of it too.
Now that the report? bf both the
Senate and House committees which
nvestigated the Homestead strike and
the employment of the rmkerton s
men in labor troubles generally have
been made the futility of expecting any
pronounced congressional legislation
on the subject is apparent. The
llouse committee's reports (there are
three of them) contain no recommpn-
dation of value and the report of the
Senate committee, which reads like it
might have been written by a school
boy who had just received two lickings,
one from the teacher and the other
.... .. . 1 t . . Ti
from his father, is no better. It con
sists of nine conclusions which the
committee arrived at, and these con
elusions wabble between the two sides
of the question llnally winding up
with the doubt whether congress has
any right to legislate on the subject,
and pleading for arbitration. It is a
fact well known in Washington if not
at tbair homes, that the average con-
"lessman, be he senator or represen
tative, while alwavs ready to make
buncombe speech on the labor question
is afraid to commit himself to decisive
legislation on the subject.
The house has adopted amendments
to the legislative and executive ap
nronriation bill, providing for eight
hon rs work a dav by the clerks in th
daivirr.mpnts. reducing thsir annual
leave with pay from 30 to 15 days
vear. and nrohibiUng the cio iug
anv department on accounfc of the
death of an ex-official. It is consider
ed VPi'V doubtful whether any of
these amendments, except possibly the
last one. will get through the senate
Th same bill has another amendment,
a good one too, abolishing congres
sional funerals at public expense.
It is estimated that the proposed
amendments to the pension laws, now
being discussed by the house, would
if they became laws save about $30,
000,000 a year. They provide tor
transferring the pension office from
the interior to the war department an !
placing it in charge of army officers;
also, for suspending pensions paid to
those haying an annual income of
$600 or more; to widows who were
not married within five years frq;u the
close of the war, and, except in ca-e of
total disability, tr alien non-residents.
These amendments may possibly get
through the 'house, but there is no
probability of their being adopted by
the senate as at present constituted.

Tho Xext Cabinet.
Lakewood, N. J., 14 Mr. Cleve
land officially announced the name of
four members of .his cabinet through
the United Press this evening. They
are W alter Q. Gresham, of Illinois, sec
retary of state; Jao. G. Carlisle, of
Iventuckv, secretary of the treasury;
Daniel S. Lamont, of New York, sec
retary of war; Wilson S. Bessell, of
Buffalo, N. Y., postmaster general. On
makingithis announcement Cleveland
said: "There is no ueedof auy mystery
in regard to the cabinet, and it is use
less to speculate and indulge in guess
work, i shall make no secret of the
matter, but shail announce the names
of the gentlemen selected to fill each
position as fast as I receive their ac-
eptances and their permission to make
the matter public.
Mr. Cleveland would say nothing in
regard to the other positions or the
men who have been mentioned in con
nection with them. It is evident that
Hoke Smith, Hillary Herbert and oth
ers who have been 1 mentioned are un
der consideration. A conference which
will probably settle Hoke Smith's chan
ces one way or tlfe other will be held
at Mr. Cleveland's office in New York
some day this wrek. Senator Gordon
and other southerners will be present.

A shin canal on the Nicaragua
route would be of gresL service to this
country in many ways, and an illustra
tion of the value of'such a waterway
is suggested by the movements of Ad
miral Gherardi's squadron and the con
dition of affairs on the Hawaiian Is
lauds. Thi; squadron is now moving
northward in the Atlantic, and will l
at Barhadoes in a few days. In all
probability'the commander will there
find orders directing h m to go to Hon
olulu. But the passage to that place
will consume forty-two days, and the
squadron will be compelled to stop
twice on the way for coal. If there
were a ca al across the Jsthmus the
trip would be a direct and compara
tively a short one, and in this case
the lapse, of time may be a matter of
very considerable importance A. 1.
