In a terse 1893 fray of opinions, writers mock political promises and financial snags. They deride lobbying sums, warn against Wall Street meddling, and question annexation moves from Hawaii to England, while noting fashion shifts and public expositions.
Western Pennsylvania backs Franklin’s Christopher Heydrick for the supreme court vacancy after Chief Justice Paxton’s retirement. Heydrick, appointed by Governor Pattison, served a year and was a Democratic candidate last fall with broad state support from Republican papers. The region hopes Pattison will appoint him again.
A pending treaty would annex the Hawaiian Islands to the United States pending ratification by both U S authorities and Hawaii. If approved the U S government may assume public debt in Hawaiian postal savings banks totaling about 3.25 million dollars. Payments of 20000 dollars annually to the late queen and 150000 dollars to Princess Kaitlan would be required. Congress would extend U S tariff and internal laws within one year, obligating payment of a bounty on sugar produced in the islands.
With nine days left in this session, only one of the thirteen regular appropriation bills has passed both chambers and awaits the president's signature. The House lags while the Senate is blamed for slow work, and a sundry civil bill debate may trigger a silver showdown. World’s Fair talks and the Hawaiian treaty oversight fuel time pressure.
