The opposition opposes wrong doing what

Treaty Talk

The following reports Of the Senato Committee
Foreign Relations taken from the Alta CJlifOr-
Iiia speak for themselves Tho majority report
states that objections to the treaty are greatly
overbalanced by advantages which even the hostile
minority wish to terminate the treaty with WOW
to entering into other commercial relations with
the Sandwich Islands more nearly reciprocal, in
other words the majority recommend unfolding
the treaty as it is; the minority are for new and
modified treaty.
It seems probable that the majority report will
be accepted. We have good men in Washington.
Hons. Carter, Mott Smith, Col. Spllding and 9TH
ers have done good service hitherto and are not
now likely to relax their eZertions. Altogether
the outlook is hopeful. Following Is tho extract;
"Ihe reports of the majority and minority Of
the Senate Committee on Foreign relations on
the joint resolution to give notice to the Hawaiian
Government Of the termination Of the Reciprocity
Convention Of 1873, were submitted TO the Senate
to-day. Senator Morgan makes the report on bo-
half of the majority adversely TO the resolution.
The report says the committee has failed to dis
cover that the commerce or revenues of the United
States have not been adequately compensated by
the advantages Of trade with the Sandwich Islands.
The rate Of transportation leading from the Pa
ciic Ocean 10 Europe will, the committee thinks,
put in jeopardy the trade OF the United States
with the Hawaiian Islands unless tie present
| treaty agreements are continued Gud made per-
manont. It expresses the opinion that other ma
| tons will be found eager to seize the advantage
this country rulinqushes by the abroga;iYu of the
| treaty. Australia and the Dominion Of Canada,
it thinks, would be willing to make the most fay
Orablc terms with the Hawaiiuu Government fol
the trade of the Islands and for opening - canal
across the Isthmus Of larien and cause Hawaii 90
| seek better markets IN Europe than tho United
States offer. Abiding TO the loss OF revenue hcrl
by the operation Of the treaty, the committee says
"Ihc balance against this country represents on
| ly the profits and gains Of own people employ
ed in agricultural and financial dealings with ths
| Hawaiian people Tho report closes with this
statement: Whatever objections have 50 far been
found to the workings results Of the treaty arc
| greatly oyerbalanced by the advantages We lav,
acquired ina national sense and By the benefits
! TO our people of profitable trade With tue Haw
allan people"
Senator Sherman makes the minority report
The body Of the report Is identical with that sub
mitted by tho FInanc1 Committee IL respect to
similar proposition III the Forty-seyuuth Congress
The minority consider that the loss of revenue 1,
| the United States Ovtrbalanc9s the benefits dcriv
ed from the treaty, and they think the best thing
to do is TO terminate The rgaty, With view of en-

ONE great lesson must be taken from the
elections. and that IS that the Independent

that il Is formed of Hawaiians who have
the true love Of their country at heart.
The Independent Party in these Islands

friends abroad must understand this. The

The Election at WaiIuJ,u.

EDIToR characterization day at Waikiki was
notable occasion. The interest manifested for
weeks before the election, the earnest work during
that day: and the enthusiastic demonstrations up
on the announcement of the result of the vote told
plainly that the issue was of more than ordinary
import.
Iheparties were clearly defined as Government
and independent the one in favor of the Gibson
administration the other opposed to it and all its
supporters.
Early in the campaign the government ticket
was g. T.. Richardson and NakOOkoo, but later Ma
kookoo withdrew, and the whole energies of the
party conferred on Richardson, although the tax
collector, Keanu attached himself to Richardson's
ticket, for the twO-fold purpose of helping him
and himself also.
The Independent ticket was W. 0. Smith and
l.. w. p. kauealii, besides whom other Independ-
emit men attempted to run on their individual
count.
Messrs. Smith and kanealii had TO contend with
all the influence that the government could bring
to bear against them. Means and material were
supplied from Honolulu. Mr.. Spreckels' influence
was also with the government ticket, and the GER
tainty of Richardson's election was believed III
Honolulu to be assured Among other agencies
employed, the 'son-in-law," Mr.. L. II. Hnyselden,
came 10 Wailuku before the election and endeay-
ored to assist. But his efforts did more harm than
good to their party.
The polls were surrounded the whole day with Il
crowd of wide awake men. The voting was con
Quoted fairly well, although the appointment of
Nakookoo as chairman of the Board of Inspectors
was looked on with suspicion, and another men,
Der of the Board, Mr.. L. Bal, was an employee of
Richardson's and the third was the choice of the
tax-collector.
There was but little drunkenness, the Independ-
ent party supplying liquor at all, and the gov
ernment party having reserved the greater part of
its supply for the glorification after the election.
The polls were closed exactly at five o'clock, and
the counting began. As the independent ticket
began to gain in number of votes counted, the
cheering increased, and when the result was an
nounced the shout was deafening. The votes cast

The country districts have spoken out
limo doubtful way. The elections there
have returned more opposition members
TO the Legislature than has been elected
within the last twenty years. No such body
Of intelligent Representatives has been
seen since the old days when the Assembly
was composed of two separate Houses
The issues Of this election were fairly made
up and fully discussed at the hustings
They were confined TO the merits and de
merits OF the Ministry which has ruled
the country during the past two years
The fact that the independent members
were elected outside Of Honolulu, in almost
every district where they ran for election
Is full proof that this Ministry Is con
demned by the country at large.

The news from Washington about our
treaty is excellent. An obseryant friend
in the East writes: The chances Of con
tinuance are in our favor. dead low water
happened last winter, the tide has been
rising ever since As Judge 5. remarked
to me this evening: i see a wonderful
change in the temper of Congress from
that OF last winter. The outlook is hope
full Two days since the Mexican treaty
failed by one vote Its friends expect to
bring il up again and then succeed; posi-
bly, they may. that Is not our affair; but
what J., our affair Is. that the Senators who
have voted for the Mexican Treaty enrolled
themselves as believers in reciprocities.
Among them are many who were bitter
against Us last winter. With this commit
ment, they cannot 20 back on us. Sena-
tor Logan, last winter. was implacable.
This winter he has voted for Mexican and
succumbs to arguments for the Hawaiian
Treaty. And so of other Senators. They
see reciprocity IN connection with enlarged
foreign trade especially if enlarged trade,
as in our case, is supplemented with weighty
political considerations. Fortunately for
Us, Searles, Gibson, Hardy and others of
our enemies outdid themselves last winter,
or rather the winter before, when Judge
Allen alone and poorly supported, like a
shorn lamb, had to endure the blast The
reaction has taken place. This year Searles
and others have had to acknowledge the
corn of mystifying facts, and of mislead-
ing Belmont and other patriots The usual
result has happened, and the patriots have
gone back upon the refners."
The Senate Committees have agreed to
the opinions and reports Of their sub Com
mittees in favor Of the treaty. Senator
Sherman presented a minority adverse re
port, and both reports are now creating
open discussion in the Senate All things
considered the the treaty prospect is Ger

from sugar imports by the Government has been
from f40000DoO 20 S50.000.Q00 every year. Now,
should the United States become producer of sugar

country, would change the whole course of COM
merce. and be an industrial revolution of such
magnitude, that it Is impossible 10 forsee more
than a small portion of the Consequences. But
one Of the consequences would clearly be the solu-
ton Of the surplus revenue problem, without the
Intervention Of Congress. Sorghum for the man
ufacture Of syrup, has been grown in the United
states great many years, and the production Of
syrup increased from 6000.O00 gallons in 1850 to
16.OO0,00o gallons in 1870. Though the census fn-
ures for 1870 have not yet been publshed il is De
lieved they will show that the production Of svrup
