The very silent way in which this
bill has been introduced, at very late
day in the session, is suspicious in
itself, and that Its introduoer has already
become known as the introducer OF
some Of the most unworthy bills
p,eseWed during this session will not
help il out in this particular. Though
il comes even with its frs, breath laden
with professions OF charity and good
fellowship, the specious disguise Of the
wolf is altogether too thin to allow Of
him being regarded as sheep. That
the kings ministry, howeves, should re
gard such a scheme with favor, is a
disgrace to the positions they hold,
and more. than their endorsement OF
the banking ACT, shows how utterly
dead they are to any sense ef dscency.

The compromise gold bill, which has
been signed and is now the law, IS
much better than no law at all, though
it gives those who hold Hawaiian silver,
an opportunity to crowd out gold BY
paying out a vast amount OF subsidiary
coin in sums OF $ro or under. The
power, however, OF section 4 Of the new
law, may be exercised (by an intelligent
minister OF finance) to bring back gold
when needed We wish the Hartwell
idea might have been Incorporated in

and It's defects may be reminded by
judicious legislation two years from nov.

The purchase by Mr. Spreckels Of
nearlythe entire crop Of island sugars, on
terms substantially made by the plant
ers, is in evidence that Mr.. Spreckels is
convinced that bulldozing does not
pay, There are those who still believe
that il would have been better to have
had an "off year with Mr.. Spreckels
and have sold our sugars in New York
OF ST. Louis rather than make terms
with a man whose course seemed set
against our every interest. However,
the agreement has been made and the
terms are apparently "just and gener-
Gus. The price Of Manila sugar IN
San Francisco is to rule in the purchase
OF island sugars and there is no stipu-
lation as to shipment lfthis is a genuine
return TO those sound business meth
ods which were once on the lips Of
every islander who had business deal.

requested the king, through his secre-
tary, to be allowed to copy the two pc
ti,ions recently sent his majesty, one
to retain, the other to discharge the

Two paragraphs in last Saturdays issue
gave uninentional offense to the friends Of
two gentlemen with whom the writer OF the
paragraphs is on the friendliest terms. In
one was an allusion to an article on the right
enjoyment OF dancing in the Anglican Church
Chronicle for July. Friends Of that journals
senior editor imagined that this papers playful
perhaps rather flppantl mention OF the article
was meant IN ridicule. Nothing was fpr,her
from the thought OF the gentleman who made
II. The Anglican article was thoughtful,
clearly reasoned appeal for rational, temper
ate enjoyment Of dancing. The other offensive
paragraph was a curt notice OF the Hawaiian
monthly in which mention Of Mr.. Nesheid's
story was omitted. The omission resulted from
haste and the friends Of the sighted author
are assured tha, there was no intentional
disparagement OF the stoys merits. This
explanation would not have been written II the
writer were not assured tina, both Of the gen
tlemen chiefly concerned have too much good
sense to misunderstood either Circumstance.

Your anti-temperance writer If he
hail from the United States - is parti-
cularly fond OF making the most sweep
ing statements about the prohibition
movement in Maine. The further he
gets from Maine, the more sweeping
the assertion. When your rum writer
rum" in both the English and the
American sense-reaches this distance
from the Great Republic, he goes so
far rs to say "For all the vaunted
power of prohibition, there is more
drunkenness in Maine than in
California. OF course the alcoholic
champion gives no authority for the
statement He is content with dogmat.

the comparative record OF intemperance

than the latest Honolulu champion of
alcohol that San Francisco is de-

testimony of Governor Dingley and
Neil Dow of Maine (recently repub-
hshed in the Press }, that their state Is

Mr. Sprcckels has promised that he
will have none OF the ministerial bank
bill and that it shall die the death
The promise, has, we believe, been de
clared satisfactory by the chamber of
commerce. The ministerial bank bill
--as indecent a measure as ever IN
suited the intelligence OF free com
munity-is considered by many as a
dead measure. We trust it is. But
members of the legislature and the pub
lie must not be less vigilant because it
scems dead, When ii is formally with.
drawn, or killed by legislative action,
we may breathe more freely. OF the
compromise bill, to be drawn by MesSrs
Bishop, lscnberg, Davies and Sprcck-
els, no one may fairly judge till it is
printed. MIR Sprcckcls has declared
himself gulltless Of attempting to de
bauch the nation by the infamous lot

promised to use his influence to prevent
It's passage Apart from the humilia-
tion of believing that there is a majority
of the present legislature sufficiently de-
graded to pass such measure, and of
hearing its promoters boast that the
king was "for it," ii is not especially
conducive to national self respect that
Mr.. Spreckcls--or any other one man
should be necessary to its defeat.

The almos, Unprecedented and long
,ontingcd depression OF the sugar
markc, throughout the world calls fot
more Than passing notice The rates
now prevailing arc the lowest that have
ruled in the Eastern markets Of the
United States since 1888. At that time
raw sugars sold in the New York
market on a basis Of 5is cents, ddty
paid while last month sales were rt.
icctcd with difficulty at 81 cents Tor
the same grade Those who are mmi
liar with the cost Of sugar growing and
manufacture recognize At once the loss
that must accrue 10 producers at these
rates, especially when az IN the case OF
Cuba an export duty OF about ~ cent
per pound is levied, aud the cost Of
inland transportation (Which averages
S. per hogshcad) aud freight to New
York is deducted Cuba supplies about
one third OF the cane sugar OF the world,
and sends IS per cent OF her crop an
nually TO the United States These are
ruinous rates to Cuba and in her pres
ent bankrupt condition She is IN no
position To relieve the taxes Of the op.
pressed planter We have been he
moaning the smallneSs OF the sugar re-
turns to Our planters and stockholders,
but nothing has so clearly demonstrated
the value to Ms of the reciprocity treaty
with the United States
Interested parties are aware OF the
causes that have lead to this long de
preston OF the sugar market, viz over
production, for some time past and the
rapdity with which the new crops of the
various countries have been fastened To
markets already carrying over larger
stocks than the previous year Now
let us look at the prospects OF future
figures The beet sugar production OF
Europe Is estimated at $4,000 tons for
rsS3-s4 over the preceding years crop
In the United States the cultivation Of
both sorghum and the sugar beet has
largely increased The Southern cane
fields were retarded by the late spring
and injured by recent foundations.
The various sugar growing islands in
the West Indies all report an increase
as docs also Maurltus, Java, Reunion
and Egypt. The PHILIPPINE Islands re
port decline The commercial jour
mails at hand give no indication of any
tendency OF an improved market, East,
though in London a decided improve
mcnt with speculative prospect is re
ported, The sugar men of the Eastern
states have not been slow to profit
thereby as quite an export trade to the
United Kingdom is rehned sugars from
which, with the drawback allowed,
they are enabled to undcrsell in the
English markets, II would not surprise
us to learn of change at any time, in
fact everything seems favorable to
entering in and bearing it up and con
trolling the market for some time to
come, as the indications are that several
of the European beet growing districts
will be given up, many of the planters
in Cuba have abandoned then planting
.-...-..ns,F and the ruinousi rates have
discouraged the recent extensions of
sugar beet and sorghum culture in parts
OF the States.

SOUANnERING AN ESTATE HELD IN TRUs

SQUANnERING AN ESTATE HELD IN TRUST
Thorn Aldridge Justice of the Peace, and
Democratic politician in Jersey City, was commit
ted to the iail in Newark yesterday by Judge Nc
Carter of the Orphans Court for dIsObeyng an
order of the Court to pay over $3.50 ~ belonging
to the estate OF William Parks. of which he was
the executor Aldridge admitted that he had mis-
to repay it, He filed the inventory of the estate on
March %, 1873. 1t was stated to the court that
he had been adiudged bankrupt. The court on
January 90 1878, ordered him TO make an account
which h. failed to do. He ordered to give
bonds and appealed to the Chancellor, who affirmed
Judge McCarters order An appeal to the Court
of Errors met with a like result. Aldrldge
ordered by the Court to show cause and IN Nav 1879
he was attached for contempt In July, 1873 ne
was removed from his Office, and ordered 10 pay the
balance of 81 $50 ~ to the administrator,
which by his account he admitted having i'll his
hands This order was disObeyed, and he was
arrested and paid over the balance. The Court as
certained however that he still owed the estate
over ~ ZOO which he was directed to pay back,
together with the costs of the proceedings. lie
again appealed to the Chancellor and Court of
Errors without success. The Court last May d.
rected Aldridge to pay the money immediately and,
failing to comply with the order, he was directed TO
show cause why he should not be punished for con
tempt On the hearing Aldridge confessed that he
owed the money to the estate, and had used IT Tor
his own purposes that he had spent 1t and could
not replace it, 1t came out that during these pro-
ceedings Aldridge had paid out counsel fees from
the estate. and had paid money to the counsel on
the other side for the purpose of delaying the pro-
ceedings. The amount paid to his lawyers was
nearly equal to the amount of his misrepresentation
Aldridge Will remain in jail until he pays the
money, or until the further order Vt the Court.
