' Turn on the. Light. The Senate wants to know what are the intentions of the President respect- ing Hawaii. In the plainest possible language it has said so in the resolution adopted on Wednesday, and'on which the Admin- istration Senators did not dare to call for a recorded vote,‘__for fear that it would show how pronounced is the feeling of the party in that body against the Executive. Had Mr. Hill had his way, thepill would not even have been sugar-coated with the perfunctory “if not incompatible with the public in- terests.” The resolution calls for all . the correspondence and all the in- structionsgivento‘fParamount,”Blount and to Minister Willis regarding the present attitude. of the United States toward the established and recognized government of the Sandwich Islands. Mr. Clevelandis a man of very strong will, but he will not, we think, in this instance ignore the Senate’s demand, for it is not merely the voice of his political opponents, but of a majority .of his party associates, and, more potent than all, it is backed up and supported by public sentiment. It wasVa‘remarkablc discussion that proceeded the adoption'of the resolu- tion. The Senators who, in advocat- ing its passage, criticised the course of the Administration, represented nearly every section of’the country, and no party lines divided their views or the utterances prompted thereby. Not in terms, perhapsfbut by the strongest possible implication; they declared that "The President had arrogated to himself extra-constitutional powers and func- tions, had usurped the rights and pre- rogatives of the legislative branch of the GOvernment, and had made himself liable to be called to strictest account. Compliance with the Senate resolu- tion is expected, and ifthe report that the President may abandon the whole Hawaiin business should prove true, he may yet be able to li-ve down his latest mistake. ' ‘ '. - Sullivan to the Rescue. Mr. James J. Corbett has more than once complained that the American people persist in loving and admiring the overthrown champidn, John L.'Sul- livan, more than they do the great man who overthrow him. He has even inti- mated on occasions that the American people refuse to love and admire the latter on‘any terms at all. Sullivan has just done something out in Chicago, hoWever, that may enlighten Mr. Cor- bett. Last Sunday night, says the Wash- ington Post, it became known in thea- trical circles in the Windy City that Mrs. John Drew was stranded there, that the Sidney Drew company, with which she was playing and for which she had made herself financially re- sponsible, had come to disaster and was hopelessly stranded. After fifty years of conscientious and admirable work, the dear old lady was pennilcss, and those dependent on her were without the means of getting home. She ap- plied to every manager in town with- out success. , She, who had always had a kind word and an open hand for every hapless fellow-creature, could find no one to return to her a morsel of the charity she had spent her life in il- lustrating. No one, at least, until in the last extremity she went to John L. Sullivan, then playing 9‘ The Man from Boston” at the Windsor Theatre. And this is what she heard: “Why, Mrs. Drew, don’t, you worry abouts. little thing like that. I’ll pull on through. How much d’ye say? So much? Here, where’s my manager and my check-book? Weare all mem- bers of the profession and must. help one another.” That was all. The touchof a big band, the impulse of a big heart. Only one query, How much? and the pain was healed. We recommend this incident to Mr. Corbett’s thoughtful notice. The Amer- ican people like John L. Sullivan be- cause, with all’ his faults—and they are numerous and grave-he has the hi1- manity and the generous sympathy of his nature always within reach. Mr. Corbett need have no difficulty in un- derstanding Sullivan’s. popularity af- ter this, unless, indeed, he be incapa- ble of...u'_‘, erstanding.

For the past month the state papers have contained articles, evidently ori- ginating in New Haven, indicating a spirit of discontent in the order of the Knights of Columbus, the largest Cath- olic organization in the state, and which has now become a national or- ganization. This dissatisfaction, says the Bridge- port Post, is alleged to be serious and is aimed at the highest ofiicers of the order. ' A circular issued by Santa Marie council of New Haven calling for a meeting of the New Haven coun- cils to discuss the matter, is proof_pos1- tive, how little justification there is for the dissatisfaction. The council in ques- tion asserts that there is a demand for less concentration of executive and legislative control than exists under the present conditions .when the laws governing such legislation was accept- ed by the whole order through its rep- resentatives.

USE DANA’S SARSAPARILLA.IT‘S ‘ THE KIND THAT CURES.” Q.- The “S.

Sheldon; secretary, James P. Sheehan; treasurer, Samuel Nash; lecturer, James D. Keena; chair- man entertainment committee, Edward Dufi'y. The constitution which is all by-laws reads: . “Any member standing up when there . is an empty chair or soap box in sight‘ shall be fined twenty-five cents.” “Any member who having sat down . shall leave his seat inside two hours shall be fined fifty cents. ” “Any member falling asleep in his chair shall receive a premium of one dollar.” ' , “Members are eXpected to howl ‘ hard times ’ until the ditching season opens.” 0 He Talked Plainly. The heater at the Norwalk Methodist church did not diffuse the usual amount of heat Sunday morning, and there was considerable chilliness in the audi- torium, which however was dispelled before Pastor Wyatt had finished his talk to the congregation. Our reporter did not catch the text of the “sermon” but that matterst little, (so he says.) Mr. Wyatt stated that there were about 1,800 members on the church roll, a majority of whom he said were not as zealous in the good work as at the time the church was first built. Some of the members winced. He then made the statement that there were three times as many saloons in town as there were churches, and ventured to further say that there were three times as many people patronizing the same as there were members of the different churches. Again some of the members winced. He took his congregation to task for not being more charitable, and scored them at every vulnerable point. It was altogether a warm sermon from a man whose grandfather was a Methodist as well as his father, and stirred up his hearers as never before. And may the harvest be a plenteous one. ___.___A+ A Close Call. James Hefi'ernan, a blacksmith,.had an experience Saturday night that he can thank his lucky stars did not result in his death or a serious infringement on his “Wealth.” - James is employed at a blacksmith shop in Westport and on Saturday hired a horse from Mead’s livery stable in Westport. Driving to Norwalk he met friends and indulged in intoxicants. ' About 9 o’clock he got into his car- riage and started to drive home, but before going far concluded to call on a friend who lives on Mechanic street. Not finding his friend at home he drove on up the street, and being somewhat befuddled guided the horses directly onto the railroad bridge. The horse strangely enough succeeded in getting over the ties for quite a distance but finally stumbled and fell between them. - Fred Austin who lives near by came to the rescue. He looked at his watch and saw that a train was due and hur- riedly secured a lantern and a red pet- ticoat which he wrapped around the lantern and running up the track suc- ceeded in stopping the train near. the Electric Light station. In the meantime a crowd had gath- ered at‘ the scene of the accident, and after working for near an hour the horse was liberated from his perilous plight and, placed on tons firms, and without the slightest injury.

Week in Congress. WASHIXGTON, Dec. 11.—The second week of the second session of the 53d con- gress will mark the placing of. the first mile-stone on the long road to the tariff revision. An eflort is also likely to be made to redeem another democratic plat- form pledge in the repeal of the federal election laws. The senate 'is, to be the scene of the attempt in this direction. and 3 the leader in this effort will be Senator ; Hill of. New York. Mr. Hill’s plan will be to substitute the house bill for the bill reported by the. senate judiciary commit: tee. In this-he is' certain to meet with considerable opposition from the republi- cans, who take the ground that the senate bill wasnot regularly acted upon in the judiciary committee—all but one of the republican members being absent when it was ordered to be reported. There- fore, under Mr. Hoar’s lead, they will insists that the house bill be referred to a committee on privileges andelections for mature censideration and report. If their insistence upon this point be very pro- nounced, it is probable that the' demo- cratic managers will assent to the refer- en ce. Then calling the committee imme- diately together, they will endeavor to report the bill for action within the week. Senator Mon-ill, the venerable ex-cliair- man of the finance committee, will fire the first gun of the coming tariff fight in the senate in the shape of a set speech on Wednesday, in which it is believed he will, in his quaintly humorous style, make the ,. most of the difficulties which his political opponents are meeting in their efforts to unite the party on the tariif bill.

If the president’s response should be confined strictly within the limits of the request, the correspondence will include only the state department instructions sent to Minister Willis and Stevens, Com- missioner and Minister Blount, and their , predecessors, Ministers George W. Merrill and James M. Conley, together with the navy department instructions given to Commander Wiltze and Admirals Skerrctt and Irwin and their predecessors in command or the naval forces onithe Hawaiian station. W W .
