In reference to tilling the expected vacancy, the Annexation club ordered a mass meeting of the club at the drill shed for the purpose of making nominations, and a ballot of the club is to be held during the week, electing names to be ottered to the councils for their choice. The American league in the meantime nominated I). It. Smith, and on the evening of the lath captured the mass meeting and made Smith the only nominee of the club. WIM. OO TO WOUK O.V A KOISM OK COX.STlTfTION. When relieved of the burden of foreign affairs President Dole will apply himself especially to the work of maturing a draft of the constitution, -which has already received much careful consideration. Much outside coun.sel has been and will be taken, and before action it will be submitted to some fbrtn of constitutional Convention. I'nless advices from Washington shall holdout more favorable prospect than has appeared of late for annexation or for some other satisfactory form of political union with the United States, the provisional government will probably proceed to organize a constitutional and representative government in the near future, the present executive holding over. JIOVAMST ori'OSITIO.V TO ISUSTItlCTKD SlTFI'.iflK. Itoyalists scornfully denounce restricted suffrage, which will probably ie adopted, at least in the election of the upper house. They claim that there can be no satisfactory government which does not give to every native Hawaiian full voting power. The present appearances are that the revolutionists, being in possession of the government, will maintain themselves in power at whatever cost of ideal democratic practice that may be ncccfary to maintain political control, which they have learned to consider essential to the safety of their -necks as well as of their property. A TIKMPATK AND DlFFtCUL T TASK. Ii is admitted by them that their task of organizing- government upon a .permanent representative basis is a most diflicult anil delicate one. on account of the large majority of Polynesian and Asiatic inhabitants who are incapacitated for participating in representative government That it can be successfully done, they expre.vs entire confidence, based upon the existence of a large body of intelligent and capable whites, leavened by American institutions. Theophilus Davies and other royalists maintain that the task is an impossible one, and that in re-establishing a monarchy lies the only hope of a stable government. There is no doubt that tho juncture is highly a critical one, and will severely test the patriotism, wisdow and harmony of the sunporters of the provisional government In so much all parties are agreed; tho royalLstü expecting dissensions of their enemy to give them the game. DAVIES AS A IHSTntm.NO FACTOIl. Da vies has renewed his attack upon the attorney general, charging him with breach of confidence in giving to the press the fact that ho was questioned about his alleged connection with the enlistment of men in Victoria for the queen's service. Davies says nlso: '"You thought lit. in our interview, to reproach me with seeking to impose 1113 idea of honor upon others, I replied that I was only conscious of one standard of honor, hud that it was my desire to live as close to that standard as possible." On inquiry, 0. W. Smith states that lie bad objected to Davies imputing to President Dole and himself dishonorable and treacherous conduct in tcnIcrinir Hawaii for annexation to the United States. What further amenities were exchanged has not tranaplrctl. THE C'HI.VKSK WANT ItKCOO.VITlOV.

The large sovonhtorv building at the southeast comer of Locust und Twelfth streets was burned to-night. One-half the building was occupied by the Fitell Woodenware Co., and ti e other by tins Tyler Desk fo. The fire was discovered at 7 o'clock on the ground tloor near the elevator shaft of the I'dell Co. llcforo the first platoon of engines arrived the flames had shot up through the elevator to the roof, firing on its way tho inflammable material on every lloor. Three alarms were sounded. A s-tiff breeze was blowing, and nil efforts were turned to prevent the Haines spreading. The building, which was completed a little over a year ago, belonged to the Scudder estate and cost $40,000. It is a total io&s. Tho Udell Woodemvnre Co. curried a largo stock of tho most valuable rdchIs An average estimate of their stock is placed at $100,000. Some of the lighter goods on the first lloor were saved. The los to the Tyler Desk Co. is also total and is placed at S40.00Ü. Insurance on the building und contents will cover losses. The I'dell company burned out a year ago on Fourth street and began business anew in tho building destroyed to-night. At exactly 9 o'clock the toil story walls of the building fell outward. On the south of the building George Smith's residence and saloon was crushed, entailing a loss of $5,000. A blazing ember was carried by the wind into the open window of an architect's office in the third story of the Hagau theater building, corner of Tenth and Pine streets setting fire to n lot of papers. An alarm was turned in and the firo was quickly subdued. A small audience was witnessing the second act of Sanford's "A Flag of Truce." The manager cut the scene short by stating from the footlights that a trifling fire had started in a remote part of the bnilding, and advising the audience to quietly withdraw. There was not the slightest rush or panic, and the audience marched out of the door as sella' ely as a church congregation. .lust after the audience from tho Hagau had safely reached the street a little flame "no bigger than a man's hand" was seen curling up from the cornice of a three-story building opposite, occupied as a sporting house. The crowed surged in that direction, and the people of the house appeared nt the windows with some alarm depicted on their faces just as a kt renin from one of the reserve engines stationed near was directed against the building. The fire was extinguished, and so were the painted women at the windows. FARM ANIMALS. statistical Compilation Showlnc Their Number and Value. Washington, Feb. 2:t. Figures on the number and value of farm animals, as well as compilations made by specinl agents, are included in the report of Statistician Robinson of the agricultural department for January and February. The total number of horses has decreased 12.",((3, ns compared with the returns of a year ao, although there was an increase in ,50 of the htates. The total number of horses of last January was l(l,OSl,mo. Prices have declined m-nH of the spates and territories, except Rhode Irland and Idaho. The number of mules in the country in January was 2,:t.VJ,'J."l. There was a slight increase in the number and value, of milch cows. The number at present is 10,4S7,400 as against 10,424,U57 a year ago, and aggregate an averago value of f:i.'S,l9S,ClU against 1357,2.'J,7S.".

The number nnd prices of both sheep and swine have declined. Tho total number of farm animals last mouth was 101,753,453. It is stated that in the total uumber of these farm animals tho average annual rate of increase during' the decade 1S70-1SS0 was 1.07 percent. In tho following decade it rose to a. 17 per cent., and between 1S90 and 1893 thero was an average a utiaal decrease of twotenths of 1 per cent. JUDGMENT DAY.

All of this morning's special session of criminal court was occupied in the sentencing of miners convicted of riot in the Mansfield valley. Thirty-seven of those sentenced participated in the riots of January 27, and twelve others were those who plead guilty to participating in the riot at Uenola mines on December In discharging the twenty-ono miners who were found not guilty by the jurv, Judge Ewing dismissed them with a caution, saving that he believed some of them, nt least, to be equally guilty with those convicted. Sentences were then imposed upon those who hnd entered pleas of guilty, or had been convicted, for terms ranging from one month in the workhouse to two years and six months in the penitentiary, the latter and longer term being allotted to Julius Plantier, the leader of the anarchistic clement The prisoners were ranged before the bar seven at a time. rarllanipiit to bn Illmiolvril, nnd Mr. (SlnilKtoim lo Kntlrr.

According to the Scotch unionist press, the conservative, unionist and liberal election agents have been warned that a dissolution of parliament will without doubt occur within thirty days, nnd Instructions have been given to make preparations for u new election. It is also said that Mr. Gladstone will probably not stand for re-election, in which case Sir James Cnrmichacl will doubtless be the liberal candidate for the Midlothian seat occupied by Mr. Uludstous since IS30.

AS TO THE CUCKUU.

A lllrd Thl Aptly TTIlllf rroii.ni IVriilUrltlr. As the cuckoo has probably come into politics to stay, it is well, perhaps, inai tho real characteristics 01 wu mm should be well understood. When tho matter is thoroughly investlk'-'doil no . A .1. ...fib B-.K one can lull to do strucit wim inn semblance between the republican party and the cuckoo party. Tho term cuckoo is applied to several different trencra of birds. There is the eucuhiH cauorus, or Knjrlish cuckoo, which has the habit of depositing its rsfjs in the nests of other birds. As soon ns the young cuckoos have been hatched, and have developed a nine strength, they proceed to kick tho other birds out of the nest und usurp tho total control of it The notes of this snecies are said to bo loud nnd joyful, us is the habit of all jingoes when they ... have succeeded in any game 01 spoua- . tion. In the autumn they a;o usually 1 fat. thus reminding us of the sons of ; tho missionaries in Hawaii, after they had obtained possession of the wealth of tho members of their fathers' flocks. In tho United States we have the yellow-billed cuckoo, scientifically known as the Coccyzus American us, which builds its own nest, but devotes much of its time and attention to suclciug tr.e eggs of other birds. The impartial observer will not tall to uote that both these kinds of cuckoo exhibit characteristic qualities of the republican party. As a jingo party it is best represented by the English cuckoo, because it has adapted ami is scekintr to apply the English policy of spoliation toward feeble nations. When the English cuckoo invades the nestot another r bird it lays a verv small egg, , ii Ii ,mnr..honslon. but too small to excite apprehension when the egg is hatched, the young cuckoo, after receiving nourishment for a time from tbe original proprietor, ends by talcing full possession of tho nest. Such was the conduct of the Yankee cuckoo in HawaiL It obtained admis sion into that snug little nest and laid j an egg that bore the counterfeit trademark: "Missionary altruism." Other eggs of a similar kind were deposited from time to time, and from tlir were ; hatched Dole, Thurston and all that ; brood who call themselves "son of , missionaries," but who are really 1 cuckoos and have got full possession of the Hawaiian nest, and are likely to , keep it until they quarrel among themselves. Having "had their harvest, they j are now fat and sleek as the Uritish cuckoo is wont to be after the harvest season. ' The Coccyzus Americanus is a splcn- ' did representative of the American pro- j tcctiouist, who advocates what he calls the "American system." He builds his j own nest, nnd builds it snug and tight, 1 but he provisions it by robbing the nests of other birds The protectionist j also builds a nest, and then he goes . Into the homes of other people for the 1 purpose of getting ns large a part of their earnings as possible, and the more he gets the more he wants. At this very moment the owners of most the other nests are observing that there is a retnnrkablo scarcity prevail ing in their homes, and though they all know that the cuckoo has paid them a visit, there arc still some who profess , to doubt what it is that is making 1 times hard. As for the cuckoo himself, j he is causing it to be given out that he has been in the habit of sharing his stealings with some of the other birds. and that the distress is caused by tho apprehension that his facilities for in vading other nests arc about to be cut off. The robber barons have at last hit upon a suitable emblem. Let them stop putting eagles on their tickets and substitute cuckoos, lhe eagle ts a boldly and robber, too, but he robs without pretending to be anything else than what he is. Tho cuckoo is a robber by stealth and under false pretenses. The Cuculus canorus is a jingo after the Uritish pattern, with a tenor voice to praise his own lawless thrift; the Coccyzus Americanus is an advocate of the "American system" of spolia tion practiced upon his neighbors in the name of patriotism. Louisville Courier- Journal. A DISCREDITED HUMBUG. The iJUbonrit Iterlprocltjr Clause of the McKinley Act. In proposing tho repeal of the rec iprocity clause of the McKinley act tiie ways and means committee and their democratic associates have taken the first step towards the abolition of a preposterous humbug. The reciprocity clause is practically repealed by the placing of tea, sugar, hides and coffee on the free list, but it is the duty of democrats to set the seal of their disapproval on the wretched pretense of fair trade and of increased commerce embodied in the dishonest and unAmerican reciprocity policy of the Harrison administration. No word should remain on the statute book to remind the country of the day when congress turned over to the president any part of ita power to legislate. This is what the reciprocity clauso does. H transfers a power to the executive which the constitution confcrrcd upon congress, and therefore it is contrary to the fundamental law of . , . , 111c lanu. Moreover, it gave to foreign governments the right to declare when and on what articles the people of this country should be taxed. The right to levy taxes appertains to our own free citizenship. It is the right for which our forefathers fought, and it has never ben surrendered except in the reciprocity clauso of tin McKinley act. Finally, the reciprocity clause was never intended to increase commcrceor to promote trade relations between this country and foreign countries. It was a humbugging device of Mr. Illaine to save bis party from the rising tide of popular indignation against high protective tariffs. The discredited humbug should go, N. Y. WorliL The word "cuckoo" has been given a conspicuous place in the congressional Vocabulary. It comes very handllv to a member with an luttllectual gap to fill. Louisville Courier-Journal.

FOR FARMERS. Unfulfilled VroinUrt ef thit MKlal7 MitKliatra. It is about time for western farmer to ask the McKinley ites, who have been promising them a home marketat high prices for till their products, what they bin e done for wheat. They will find it diflicult to recall a time when wheat was so low, and they cannot bo buro that it has touched bottom yet Why ia this? The high-tariff philosophers and home-market makers havehud things all their own way for thir-ty-threo years. They have made tho tariff to .suit themselves all tbeseycars, and they have not ceased to tell the farmers of the good time coming when, under the policy of protection, they would have home customers paying them tbe highest prices Jor all the products of the soil. Not very long ago President Harrison swung around the circltr telling tho rural population about thu "ideal condition' in winch they would tako their produce in their own wagons to tho factory doors and swap it for whatever manufactured articles they might want That home market that ideal conditionhas not been realized. It is as ideal and remote as ever. The farmer is soiling a larger percentage of hi wheat abroad than he did before tho protectionists began to malte a home market for hitn away back in the sixties. And still the price he can get abroad governs the price ho gets at home. How does he like tho price? Sixty cents or under per bushel at tidewater, and less in proportion to the length of the haul from his farm. How does that strike the farmer as a fulfillment of protectionist promises? How much longer tloes no min ne can etand it to wait for that homo market and pay tho fine of some fifty per cent. on the goods that he has to buy with tho proceeds of his wheat? One would think he might be prowI iug tired of the home market theory in , its practical application by this time. Let him look at it for a moment The first step in making that home market is to shutout foreign goods as much as possible by taxing them enormously. The first step is to prevent the farmer from buying goods of the foreigner. That done, the foreigner has less inclination and leüs ability to buy tho rarraer's produce. lie buys less, or tries to Gnd some other country where he can buy cheaper. This is precisely what the foreigner has been doing with great diligence and no little bucccss. Repelled by our protectionist policy as a customer of the American farmer, he has built railways in India and furnished the means to build others in Argentina. The result is that lie is getting large quantities of wheat produced by the exceedingly cheap labor of those countries, and down goes I no price. That is the way the home market theory works when reduced to practice by the high tariff economists. The price of wheat has fallen one-half or more under the practical workiuir of that theory. Under the McKinley tariff tbe farmer may take $100 worth of wheat to Liverpool and exchange it for tlOO worth of goods. Hut if he brings the goods back he is stopped at the custom-house and taxed 1 50 on them. He must part with another t0 worth of wheat before he can get his f 100 worth of goods. That is, he must give 1150 worth of wheat for 100 worth of iroods. U-ider freo trade he would get his f 1O0 worth of goods for 1100 worth of wheat, and have $50 worth of wheat lef. to exchange for other goods or to invest Now doesn't the farmer think that with wheat at its present price It would stand him in hand to try the free trade plan for awhile? Doesn't he think he could survivo a little longer if he could 1 Keep me wnoie 01 mai wrcicneuiy iow price instead of having one-third of it . 11 . .11 1 taxed away from htm? lie ougnt at least to be willing to try the experiment and find out whether there is any truth in the two fundamental rules of arithmetic. Chicago Herald. OPINIONS AND POINTERS. The most painful strain In all the hard times politics is the effort to make a Moses of Tom Heed, St. Louis liepublic Smash the McKinley law! It raised taxes, emptied the treasury, and stimulated monopolies only to add by the reaction to the depression caused by the republican silver panic. N. Y. World. Day by day the tariff agitation approaches the definite result of tariff reform, and day by day more of the unemployed go back to work as more factories start up. It is bad for republican prophecies, but pleasant for the people. Louisville Courier-Journal As tho deficit 6ince July 1 amounts to nearly forty-five million dollars, Mr. Harrison, of Indianapolis, feels that he is a Napoleon of finance when it comes to dealing with a surplus so as to leave his successor an empty bag to hold. X. Y. World. The republican cry of "cuckoo" is not going todisorganize the democratic party. When Mr. Cleveland meets the party view of what is right he can always reply upon its support. When ho docs this it will be more dangerous than it is now for republicans who ruflje tne feathers in the cuckoo's nest .... ... St Louis Republic. The democratic party has always believed that the minimum burdem of taxation is the best, and every citizen can attend to his business better than the federal government can attend to it for him. Elected on that issue the democratic party has proposed a bill which has for its object the lessening of the burden of taxation. Such a bill is the Wilson tariff! bill. Albany Argus. The correct list of failures in the United States for 1693, as published by llradstrcct's, yields no surprises. It docs not tend in any way to minify the number or gravity of the business disasters of the year, which were the result of republican extravagance and misrule, and almost foreshadowed by Secretary Foster's last reports. Nor is the general understanding that 1693 was a "bad year" removed by a study of "the figures. Still the report U interesting and well worth ctudy. Ksasu City Timea
