somewhere else, and he is a very
black sheep. May your city never
be cursed with the regular hoodlum
and may your peace preservers keen
a good lookout for all tendency to-
ward hoodlunism, and nip it in the
bud; strangle it in its infancy
smother it at once.
THAT RECIPROCITY TREATY.
| For long Time the Chronicle of
| this city has been dealing with the
gross injustice worked 10y the reci-
procity treatment with the Sand
witch Islands upon the people Of the
Pacific coast. 1t has thoroughly
exposed the appropriation by
sugar ring here or all the benefits
intended TO be bestowed upon the
people by the treaty, and the
growth Of d mammoth monopoly
which is becoming very defiant and
arrogant. IL has published argu-
ment after argument against the
treaty, and the evils it has wrought
in this and neighboring commUni-
ties. 1t has given to the world
straightforward statements of facts
regarding the manipulations of Sir
Claus Spreckeis & Co., in taking
advantage of the treaty stipulations,
and building up a sugar monopoly
III this city, whose wealth and infu-
enct are fabulous. 1t has fought
good fight against this gigantic COM
bination, and still wages war on it.
1t has been supported by the major
ity of the Pacific coast press, and
those papers which have not
"chipped IN are few aud frail. 1t
advocates the abrogatiUn of the
treaty, and no doubt Congress will be
induced TO take some cognizance
of its remarks upon the subject. The
admission to this port Of sugar from
the Sandwich Islands free Of duty,
enables the saccharine monopoly,
aided by the railroad monopoly, to
compete with and outrival eastern
dealers who pay duty in supplying
the States Of Nebraska, Colorado,
Missouri and Kansas with raw and
refined sugars, and this is an in
justice to the eastern firms who
contribute toward the revenue of
the government. Should there be
an attempt az this session Of Con-
greSS to terminate the treaty, there
will be desperate fight, and those
IN favor. will require lots Of capital
mental and mlntal-aS III it's con-
tinuance there is, as Colonel Sellers
says, millions" and the sugar ring
knows 1t. SIC Senlper mOn0p0ly!
