Tariff Talk.

viewed several people on the question |
of tariff reform. Mcclellan says:
Having long since renounced all active
participation in politics, I do not wish,
by any published statement, to create
an impression that I AN speaking any
thing but my individual opinion. Our
position is sound one. The Demo
cratic party is identified with local self
government, hard money and tariff re-
form. On that platform we will make
a square issue with the Republicans
and standing up to it honestly we will.
gather under the Democratic flag a
great number Of western and eastern
Republicans, who feel the injustice of
high tariff but who have not in the past
been convinced that the Democrats are
sincere in their advocacy of tariff for
revenue only. Is it not time that We
lifted from the backs of the people the
burden of taxation that makes he cost
of woolen blankets, clothing, harness,
furniture, drugs, books, and almost ey-
erything else far in excess of its real
value, for the benefit of few shrewd
and interested protectionists, who pock-
ct the proceeds and spend small share
Of it in hiring men to preach to credu-
Ions laboring men the old exploded
theory that were it not for protection
every laboring man would be turned
starving on the community. Demo
Gratis should collect enough revenaesto
run the government economically;
they should not roll up millions Of sur
plus in the treasury for the benefit of
protectionists.
Governor Cleveland said: eff Con-
gress shall fail to reduce the revenues
now admitted to be larger than neces-
sary | have no doubt that question viii,
become an important issue in the presi-
Dental election, End that the election of
Carlisle to the speakership will tend to
commit the Democratic party to adyo-
ctae such revision of the revenue laws
as will secure a reduction of excessive
revenue by removing or lessening such
duties as increase the cost ef necessa-
ries of life, rather than those which en-
hance the price of luxuries. ] think
at this time everything looks favorable
for success for the Democrats in 1884,
but much will depend on the action of
Congress.
Mcdonald of Indiana, said: "Our
present revenue system was established
as war measure, and has continued
lsng after the necessity for it has ceased,
as our extravagant expenditures and
our enormous surplus revenue clearly
demonstrates 1t is not to be expected
that the people will much longer submit
to system of taxation which collects
anywhere from $50,0O0,O0O to $780,
900, 900 per annum more than is nee
essary for government demands. The
election Of Carlisle was square indica-
ton of the preponderance of demo
cratic opinion against the high tariff
ideas Of Pennsylvania"

WHAT SEYMOUR THINKS.

Ex-Governor Seymour said: EThe
policy of agitation pursued by the re-
publican party will do ell the great in
terests of our country, the farming,
the mechanical and the manufacturing
interests, great harm. European gov
ernments will be irritated by the pro
posal of the republican party to put on
duties, not for the support of the gov
srnment, not for needed revenue, but
fer the avowed purpose of keeping
their productions out of our countrv
Ii we put on such prohibitory duties we
have nothing to say if they adopt the
same plan with regard to us. If the
republican party should elect presi-
dent upon that issue, it would be q dec
laration of commercial war against Eu-
commerce, and Europe would
retaliate by shutting out our products
That is tho real meaning Of the Ger
man action against our provisions.

WHAT HAWAII NEEDS NOW,

We have got a swift steamer rapa-
hlc of making the passage regularly
hctwecn San Francisco and Llonolu-
III in six days each way-perhaps in
five and half. She has made her
first trip in D days 20! hours. In
few short months her sister steamer
will be ready and we shall have
fortnightly line.
The Z. Nj. $, :. Cos boats al
ready run once month making the
passage inF from 6 to days. And
some time ago it was talked of rum
nng this line also fortnlghtly.
With these exceptionally excellent
facilities for communication we shall
not only be drawn in closer bonds of
union with our great neighbour in
regard to trade and interchange of
products, but we shall have n larger
influx of population.
Every steamer will bring its load
of tourists to spend money in these
islands. Many of them, attracted by
our delightful climate and comfort
able habits, will stay. What accom-
modations have we to offer them
Where are the convenicnces, com
forts, and amusements that they
have II right to expect : How are
our facilities for intcr-island travel !!
Our Hotels !? Our Concert Halls :?

exist in the imagination only; and
even here i'll not as good shape as
they must be if we are to derive any
benefit from pleasures seeking immi-
grants. Who would come to see
these islands in discomfort and vet

A CHARMING CAT.

A lady residing in the suburbs of
Honolulu has cat. There is moth
ing strange in this fact; for many
other ladies, similarly located, have
cats also. But this particular cat is
an unusually large, black, sleek,
handsome creature, of the masculine
gender, and is the admiration of cat
fanciers. Tom-for that is his
name-appears to belong to the
upper order" of the feline species,
beng Every select" in the choice
of associates and somewhat fasti-
dious in his gastronomic tastes,
mingling only with the creme de la
creme of cat society, having de-
cided preference for such edible
delicacies as pigeons, turtle doves,
and linnets, and showing strong
aversion to such common sustenance
as boiled beef and raw rats flesh.
Although an aristocrat, Tom il not
an indolent cat, but occupies much
of his time in catching, killing, and
eating linnets, pigeons, and turtle
doves. There is nothing peculiar in
his manner of killing, and eating,
unless it be the fact that he con-
sumes certain portions only of each
bird and rejects the remainder. But
his method of getting the little
winged creatures into his power is
what is new and novel, at least to
the writer. Tom does not, like cats
in general, stealthily approach the
object of his desire, and when near
enough make a sudden spring and
seize his prey; but, having singled
out certain bird, he quietly takes
up position as close as he con-
veniently can without causing alarm,
and fixes his two great fierce eyes
with IN intent gaze, until the bird
trembles, futters its wings, and falls
powerless TO the ground-charmed,
mesmerized, or whatever else you
like to call 1T. His catship then
leisurely takes hold of the helpless
creature, dispatches its life, and
makes his meal.
The lady above referred to, who
has closely watched and carefully
studied the habits and mo, ements
OF her pet cat, testilies to the truth
of the foregoing statement, that
her cat catches birds by charming
them. 1t is generally known that
snakes charm birds, but are cats
supposed To possess the same
power
