The Hnwaiian Treaty.

The sugar monOpOlists of San Francisco
and Hawaii are on the ragged edge of un-
certainty respecting the Hawaiian reci-
prOcity treaty. This does not appear to
he a very good Congress for treaties. The
Nicaraguan treaty was defeated, and the
commercial treaties of Spain, San Do
mingO and Mexico do not appear to have
much chance for success.
The Hawaiian treaty was ratified in
1876, with the understanding that either
country was at liberty to abrOgate it after
seven years, on giving twelve months
notice. The seven years period expired
in October, 1888, and this government
gave the required notice.
Ever since that time extraordinary eff
forts have been made by those interested
to have the treaty continued. A glance
at the situation shows why they want it
continued.
1t was expected that this country would
derive some benefit from the treaty. 1t
was fOndIy hoped that Hawaii would fur
nish a market for our manufactures, and
that the people on the Pacific coast would
get their sugar much cheaper than they
had been getting it.
But this fond hope was never realized.
No sooner had the treaty gone into effect
than the Hawaiian duties were so re-
duced that English and German goods
supplied the Hawaiian market, and at
the same time the price of sugar on the
Pacific coast was so increased that it was
two cents higher than en- the Atlantic
coast.
The remitted duties on sugar and rice
imported into San Francisco from the
Hawaiian Islands now amount to 81, ,OO0,-
600 annually. The increase of the inn
pOrtatiOns has been very steady, because
the planting interests, under the advan-
tages offered by the treaty, have been
remarkably profitable. The millions of
dollars worth of machinery, however,
necessary for opening and cultivating the
sugar and rice plantations did not help to
enrich our manufacturers, The greater
part of it came from England.
During the last six years if the tariff
laws had been enforced with respect to
the impOrtatiOns from the Hawaiian
Islands the Treasury would have been
richer by the sum Of Sl3, III, ,436. What
did this country get for the loss to it's
revenue OF this immense sum? The re-
cords show that our entire exports to the
Hawaiian Islands during the period men,
toned amounted TO only $l3,033,3l7. In
other words, what we gave to the Ha-
waiian planters in six years was sufficient
to pay for all they purchased from us and
to leave in their hands balance of $780,
600.
Clearly this sort of reciprocity is los
ing business for us. If we should con-
tinue it long, and upon rather more ex-
tensive scale, it might lead to bankruptcy.
The truth appears to be that the treaty

ITEMS OF INTEREST.

| FORTY YEARS AGO a young man bought the
| hulk of an old whaling vessel in StoningtOn,
borrowing the $50 with which to pay for it.
Moving 1t to an out t-of-the-way place he lived
| in 1t for twenty 1--we years. To-day he is a
| large property owner, and the heaviest de-
pOsitOr in the StOnlngton bank.
| A HOUSEHOLD Is to be appointed to Princess
Beatrice and Prince Henry, of Battenberg,
| on their marriage. The Princess is to have two
ladies' waiting, the bridegrO two equer-
ries and a comptroller; but the appointment
| of the latter functlOHary seems supernuous,
| as the couple are to reside permanently with
| the Queen.
1T is reported by an English journal that
five Americans, who have accepted service
as officers in the Chinese army, have arrived
| in that country. They are all men OF mill
! tary experience, and they have gone to Eng
land as experts to settle certain contracts for
the supply OF Warllke stores. After brief
stay there, they will go on to China by way
of the Suez canal, and will ultimately join
the Chinese forces on the TOBquin frontier.
STEAMERS going through the Suez canal
must stop wherever the pilot gives the word,
and when the sun has gone down, no matter
where the vessel is, whether at "station" or
not. it must tie up at the bank. There is no
risk in this. as no other steamer VIII attempt
to go on after sundOWn. The pilots are fine
set of men, of different nations, English,
French, Greek. italian, etc. They dress In
in undress.
REPORTS Of heavy losses in horses from
fatal disease known as loin paralysis continue
to come in from AtascOsa, La Sale and Nc
Mullen counties, Texas. Animals afflicted
first become languid, then dropping. finally
break down completely in the loins. and, az
ter lingering several days, die in great PAIN.
Several cattle raisers have driven their stock
horses TO other localities to prevent them
from taking the disease. 1t is not known that
the disease is infectious.
ALTHOUGH three, four, five or six cents
seems very little for the use of a dollar for a
year, it Is surprising what large sam 1t
amounts to when left for a number Of years,
as IN the case Of a Connecticut man who in
1885 commenced making deposits IN savings
bank. His total deposits from that date until
1885 amounted to 1882 %. Between 1888 and
1855 he drew from the bank 81 ,21O 1Oi ana yet,
few days SIM c, on having his bank Dook writ
ten mp and balanced, he was found 10 nave
balance on deposit amounting to $ll,213 81.
A STRONG PROTEST against the selection OF
Senator Jonas for Cabinet Office has been
made by some of his louisiana acquaintances.
Some years ago the Senator interfered with a
legislative measure that authorized the col
lection of certain fees by popular Sheriff.
The feud that grew out of the act cost him
reelection to the Senate. To its influence has
been due the persistent inquiry into his past
history, and the discovery that the Louisiana

Mr. CIereIand and the Tarifr.

Out of the gossip that has been sent
from Washington and Albany during the
last few weeks in such quantities It is
tOlerably easy to gather the impression
that Mr.. Cleveland is a thorough believer
in tariff reform. If there ever was a
doubt about Mr.. Cleveland's tariff Opin-
ions there does not appear to be occasion
tor doubt any longer.
There was a report a week or so ago
that Mr.. Randall had been offered the
position of Secretary of the Treas
ury, but it was not generally
credited. MIR. Randall was called to Al
baDy, but there does not. appear TO be
any doubt now that Mr.. Cleveland wanted
to consult with him about matters per-
tanning to legislation, and not about his
Cabinet.
The men upon whom Mr.. Cleveland ap-
pears to be leaning are those conspicuous
as tariff reformers-Mr. Bayard, Mr.. La
mar. Mr.. Carlisle, Mr.. Garland, and
9th ers-the leaders of the party. Mr.
Manning is also one Of his trusted adj
visers, and he is classed with the tariff
refOrmers. Indeed, it is doubtful if the
protection wing of the party will have a
| representative in the Cabinet, and it
| ought not to have.

and fellOw-eXile of Carl Shurz and Gen.

man Strecker, of Reading, Pa. Strecker
is a stonecutter-a day laborer-but he is
known all over the world as an authority
on butterflies. His scientific labOrs, it is
said, are done at night after his days
work is over, and on Sundays. He makes
his own drawings on stone, writes his
own descriptive matter, sets the type and
does the printing himself. He has the
largest collection of butterflies in the
world. Two years ago he published a
catalogue of North American species Of
butterflies, which is the most complete
ever issued, since it contains all the synO-
nyms. In this publication he gives long
lists of names of foreign countries where
he has collectors working for him. He
has collectors in every known lard. In
his collection are hundreds of specimens
which no other museum possesses. 1t is
said that Shupert has been offered $4,000
for his collection, and qaite large sum
for his case of beetles. By system of
exchanges common among scientists he
gets specimens from all parts of the
world at comparatively small cost. Some
of his butterflies measure six or eight
inches across the wings, while others are
extremely small-almost microscopic.
