A Field Day in Congress.
Wednesday was a field day in both
houses of Congress. Mr. Hitt made a
stir in the House by introducing reso-
lutions calling on the President to fur-
nish that body with copies of all in-
structions given by him to any repre-
sentative of the United States in re.
gard to Hawaiian affairs and declaring——
That it is the sense of this House that
intervention by the government of the
United States, its representative, or
armed forces, in the affairs of a friend-
ly recognized government to disturb or
overthrow it and substitute a monarchy
therefor, is contrary to the policy and
traditions of the Republic and the Spirit
of the constitution.
The Senate also determined to tear
away the mask of mystery and secrecy
with which every act of the administra-
tion in connection with the Hawaiian
trouble has thus far been shrouded.
Against the patriotic feeling which
prompted this determination the friends
of the President made a feeble and in-
effectual resistance. It was evident
that the Senate was in no trifling mood,
and when the vote was finally taken up.
oner. Hoar’s resolution requesting the
President to send to the Senate all the
correspondence and the instructions
affecting our relations with Hawaii
there was not a Senator who had the
courage to dissent. .
The debate marked the beginning of
a struggle over a question which pro-
foundly concerns the country and
which, ere it ends, will occupy an his-
. torical niche in a chamber thronged
with the traditions of famous discus-
sions. It was still more noticeable for
another fact. The severe arraignment
which was uttered by the republican
Senators was directed, not against an
administration nor against a party, but
against the President personally. What-
ever of defense was uttered was con.
fined to an excuse of his individual
acts. Senator Hoar. of Massachusetts,
began the discussion, but ere it was
ended Senator Sherman had uttered a
solemn warning to the President. Sena-
torHillhad,withcharacteristicboldness,
thrown down the gauntlet of opposition
at Mr. Cleveland’s feet, and Senator
Frye had announced his intention of
defending the name of Minister Stev-
ens against all comers. The adminis-
tration found no effective champions,
and it was noticeable that at a time
I when a courageous, ringing defense of
the Hawaiian policy would have been
most opportune Senator Voorhees was
‘ not in his seat, Senator Gorman was
also absent, and other democratic lead-
ers sat silent in their seats.
Mr. Hoar did not mince his words.
He declared that the overthrow of the
existing government in Hawaii was an
act of War, and none the less so because
it was an act against a small and feeble
government. The transaction was one
the Senate and the people were entitled
to understand, and that, too, without
delay. “ If the thing has not yet been
done,” exclaimed Mr. Hoar, “I want
that the swift and indignant remon-
strance of the American people shall
make itself felt and shall be heard by
Executive ears, however dull they may
be.”
The task of defending Mr. Cleveland
was assumed by Senator Mills, of Tex-
as. Why the mantle should have been
thrown upon his lame shoulders is not
explained. “Senator Vilas then attempt—
ed a feeble support of the President’s
side. In reply to him Senator Hoar
made the most telling shot of the day.
After this government had recognized
the provisional government, he said,
it was an act of infamy for the Presi-
dent to send a minister to Hawaii who
bore in one hand a letter addressed
to President Dole as “my great and
good friend,” and in the other hand
carried instructions to overthrow the
government. "That was an act of in-
famy,” exclaimed Mr. Hoar, “only par-
alleled by the act of J oab, who stabbed
his neighbor under the fifth rib while
saying, ‘Art thou in health, my
brother ‘2’”
As he said" these words, Senator
Hoar’s hand clutched an invisible dag-
ger and he twisted it in the side of an
imaginary man,.while the tone of his
Voice betrayed the indignation which
he felt. It was a dramatic thrust which
the Senate appreciated. and which the
galleries applauded. Next a stir was
visible in the Senate, when Mr. Hill of
New York, rose and supported the res-
olution. ,
He said it simply asked for informa-
tion for which the American people had
looked in vain in the President’s mes-
sage, and‘without which the Senate
could not intelligently act. The delay
which had been urged was merely for
the purpose of allowing events to reach
_ a point where Congress would be pow-
erless to act. .
Certainly there could be no intrigue,
no arrangement, no proposition to use
force, asserted Mr. Hill, with thinly
veiled sarcasm, which the President
could wish to hide from the people of
this country. " I
Mr. Sherman, to whom, as usual, the
most. respectful attention was paid,
added a warning word. Age and ex-
perience added their weight to the sol-
emn eloquence with which he said that
if, in pursuance of the authority of the
executive, AmeriCan troops should be
be landed at Hawaii and blood should
be shed and a single life lost, it would
be by an unlawful act. If any act is now
done by the executive without the
knowledge and consent of Congress,
which involves violence or even the
appearance of violence, or of threats.
For any such not they will hold the
President severely responsible.”
He did not confine himself to thus
warning the President of the responsi-
bility which might fall upon his shoul-
ders. The Congress of “the United
States had not been ti'r-atev] in the open
and fair way by the President. It had
been stated, practically, that it was the
purpose of the administration to restore
the status that existed before the revo-
lution. to put .the queen in power again,
and Congress had not been informed of
it.
The President might as well under-
stand, said Mr. Sherman, that the peo-
ple of the United States did not like
this Whatever might be the ideas of
the information of the President, they
ought to be conveyed to the public at
large; not only to Congress, but also to
the ‘people. There was no reason in
the world for secrecy. If it was the
purpose of the President, by the use
of the military force, to restore the
queen in Hawaii, it would be a fatal act
of public policy, a great injustice to the
people of the United States and an in-
sult to the Congress of the United
States. . ._
Mr. Gray then made a fling at Sena-
tor Hill for being so anxious to throw
the resolution at the head of the Presi-
dent that he wanted the clause stricken
out which gave discretion to the Execu-
tive.
“Oh,” said Mr. Hill quickly rising to
his feet, and a smile upon his face, “I
simply said that I thought it was un-
necessary, because I saw no reason why
the information should be withhelc .”
“I had hoped that the remark,” re-
plied Mr. Gray, turning so that he
faced Mr. Hill,“was made in ignorance,
but it now seems that it was not.”
“The ignorance seems to be on the
side of the Senator from Delaware,” said
Mr. Hill with delightful frankness, and
everybody joined in the laugh.
Mr.Frye took occasion to highly com-‘
mend the character of (ex-Minister Stev-
ens against assaults made upon
it. The resolution was then put
to a vote, the administration demo-
crats, although in a majority in the
Senate, not daring to call the yeas and
nays, allowing it to pass by acclama-
tion. Presently it was in the hands of
the engrossing clerk, and this morning
was laid on the President’s desk.

has paid benefits of over $15,000. It
has 252 members. .
The Cause of Rheumatism. _
An acid which exists in sour milk and
elder, called lactic acid, is believed by
physicians to be the cause ofrheuma-
tism. Accumulating in the blood, it
attacks the fibrous tissues in the joints,
and causes agonizing pains. What is
needed is a remedy to neutralize the
acid, and to so invigorate the kidneys
and liver that all waste will be carried
off. Hood’s Sarsaparilla is heartily
recommended by many whom it has
cured of rheumatism. It possesses just
the desired qualities, and so thorough-
ly purifies the blood as to prevent oc-
currence of rheumatic attacks. We
suggest a trial of Hood’s Sarsaparilla
by all who suffer from rheumatism.

A Good Plan.
itev. W. D. Fowler of the City mis-
sion, Bridgeport, has a plan which has
been adopted in other cities and which
he will endeavor to introduce here. It
is a wood yard. The idea is that can-
didates for room and lodging who are
penniless, may be introduced to saws
and the woodpile in the, yard, earn a
little something to carry them further,
and at the same time produce fuel that
may be sold at the very lowest cost.

“Something Radically Wrong."
EDITOR Gaznrrnszhe recurrence of
disgraceful proceedings on the part of
Co. F, seem to merit more than a pass- '
ing notice. There is evidently some-
thing radically wrong with this com-
mand, and the responsibility naturally
rests with the commanding officer.
To one who has observed the com-
pany at drill and on occasions of cere-
mony the cause is self apparent, and
there is no necessity for association
with the private management of the
organization to learn wherein the rem-
edy lies.
What is an officer, and is there any
particular responsibility attached to his
commission? The state, reposing spec-
ial trust and confidence in a man, and
his ability as an officer, issues to him
his commission as such, and, when he
accepts the same, he assumes control of
an important trust, one which, under
oath, he declares he will protect. He
becomes directly responsible for the
healthy condition and proper efficiency
of the military force under him, for the
maintainance of which large sums of
money are annually expended, that our
National Guard shall be as perfect as
possible.
, Our citizen soldier as a National
Guardsman, under a capable command-
ing officer is the brightest and best ele-
mentts of the community in which they
ex1s . . .
Tb-day he is doing his very best to
keep abreast of the times by dint of
hard work in the office, ware-room or
trade, and to-morrow he will be obey-
ing orders by donning his uniform and
attending a drill or parade. At least
once a week during the winter his even-
ings are devoted to drill, and during
the summer he gives aweek to camp
study. '-
And all for what? In the abstract it
is a difficult question to answer, but a
careful analysis reveals this fact: He is
beyond dispute the best type of a citi-
zen; he is a quiet moral force behind
thejudz'cz'mw' at all times.
This, mind you, under- efficient offi-
cers. ' ‘ .
The requirements of the state, and
the service rendered by this company
are so, at variance that the captain
should be made to realize it and reSign
his commission for the good of the ser-
vice—and benefit of the tax-payer. .

(By. Miss Nononr.)
y The newest bedroom silver candle-
sticks are low with square bases. These
are upturned at, the edges and have
perforated dmm’Ond-shaped ornaments
at the angles. ’
Various‘omens are drawn from inci-
dents and accidents attending the entry
of the newly married to their future
home, and some ladies attach a degree
of importance to «the article first picked
up by the bride, a poker or any article
of metal being deemed unfortunate,
particularly for the husband, while a
broom or dust brush is supposed to fur-
nish a good omen.
Those women who wish to dress well
.must not calculate cost. It would be
impossible to make a cheap gown of
such stufi‘s as are now worn. Satin is
draped over underskirts of velvet; the
peplum of thirty years ago is coming
back to us, and is most efi‘ective when
made of velvet over cloth, the point
falling deep in front, drawn to the side
and min-ding with the fulness at the
back. ~
. There is no more lovely and touch-
inf,r sight thanvthat of a young wife,-
w1th perfect trust and love, confiding
her entire life and-happiness to the
keeping of one who loves her in return
as a husband should. Love matches,
however, in which the warmest and
strongest of human passions are equal
on both sides, are extremely rare, and
when they do exist are almost too full
of bliss for this nether world.
It will surprise many persons to learn
that being pleasant is merely a matter
of habit. It must be cultivated like
every other good habit. It has its root
in an unselfish desire for the happiness
of others not excluding one’s own fam-
ily. It will require a great effort at
first to check the hasty words, to fore-
go the profitless argument, to withhold
the impertinent criticism, to speak the
truth in love, but it is an effort that is
well repaid by the results.
Poverty—that is real poverty—usual] y
hides its face and is not seen on the
public streets, and has to be ihunted
out, but once in a while, especially in
such weather as now prevails, glimpses
of it may be caught in thet ' ly clad
old woman shivering in a do ay wait-
ing sometimes for a husband or son
to come out of a neighbbring saloon,
or in some poor sewing girl hurrying
home without a wrap or umbrella, or
on foot because she cannot afford to
pay car fare.. This isa good time for
the exercise of that real charity which
hunts out and helps the truly deserv-

economizeon their subscriptions to in-
stitutions they should not fail to do
