the RECIPROCITY TREATY.

The Alta California of January
10th contains the following article
upon the Reciprocity Treaty and
Hawaiian Trade which will be read
with interest by both our planters
and merchants. 1t says:
The Hawaiians are rich prize.
They are the meat and milk of the
cocoanut, while the Samoans and the
Carolines are the husk and shell.
Our Consul at Apia has protested,
as was his duty, against the absorp-
ton of Samoa, but except in diplo-
matte sense and to save point in
international law, his protest was as
powerless as if made against the
tides. If fleet of German iron
clads should anchor off Honolulu,
Minister Merrill will just as power
lessly protest against German alb
sorption of that Kingdom. The
Samoans are 5000 miles away. The
Hawaiian Islands are only weeks
sail. They are the only shelter this
coast has at sea. Put them under
European domination and we are
without coaling station, an anchor
age or q foothold for commerce be-
tween California and Africa. We
owe our influence upon those islands
now, not to our army, nor navy,
nor diplomacy, nor politics, but to
our commercial enterprise which
urged the Reciprocity Treaty which
is its shelter. With shortness OF
sight which is phenomenal, the
abrogation of that treaty has been
urged, when the moment it is ac-
complished we may be the unwilling
spectators of the scene just enacted
in Samoa, but upon a scale that
pinches our commerce and our pride.
Just what this treaty has done for
our commerce may be judged by
these comparisons Our trade with
the Sandwich Islands in 1884 was
eleven millions; with Japan, thirteen
millions with the Central Ameri-
can States. nine millions. We sent
fleets and took costly political meas
ures to open Japan, thirty years ago,
and yet our trade with that Empire
of over thirty millions of people ex-
ceeds that of Hawaii by only two
miliions We have been trading
with China for a century, and yet
the Empire gives us less than twice
the9commerce we get from Hawaii !!
nall British Australasia we get
oaIy two emillions more than from
Hawaii These facts exhort to
vigilance in guarding the foothold
we have gained in these islands.
The Daily bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Hawaii]) 1882-1895, 1886-02-03

The Reciprocity Treaty was made
to secure trade, and our own mer-
chants have made profit oat of that
trade, and by singular inversion
and perversion, this fact is offered
to the Government as argument for
abrogation.
Per contra, we suppose, if our
merchants had lost in that COM
merce, if for their risk and their
enterprise they had reaped insolv-
ency, the treaty would have been
called by these critics a success !
To sustain this trade with those
islands and uphold the conditions
by which only it can exist, is national
interest, and is of primary and in
tense Importance to this city and
coast. Let us be warned by'Samoa,
and increase the vigilance which has
so fair yielded great returns. We
call the attention of the East to the
fact that those islands were COM
mercially dormant until American
enterprise reused it. True, that
enterprise conferred In this city, but
out of it has grown manufactures,
fleets of iron steamers and sail YES
sells that carry our flag and dignity
the American name. The Eastern
press may be inclined to put vulgar
estimate upon its Importance, but it
is of as great value and its results
are relatively important as those
born of the vim of Chicago and the
other busy centers of the East.

STATEMENT,

TNHE undersigned, Committee of Di-
Il rectors of the Equitable Life AS.
surance Society of the United States
appointed to formulate the views of tb'.
Board on the advantages offered by -
Society to the public, report
1st-The Society issues all the apprJ--
ed forms of assurance, including Ordh
nary Life, Endowment and Tontine DO
licies. 1t is immaterial to the Directors
which form of policy is taken by in.
tending assurers.
2d-The Life and Endowment forms
of policy provide for annual cash divi.
dends and surrender value; are indis.
putable after three years and payable
Immediately after proof of death
3d-Thc premiums on Tontine po-
Icy are the same as on the Ordinary
Life, but, while the latter is only nav.
able in the event of death, the holder of
the Tontine policy has the right to draw
the whole of the reserve and the accu.
mulated profits IN cash at the end of a
stated period; thus, during his own life.
time, after his producing years are past,
he can, without any larger premium
than on an ordinary policy, secure these
greater advantages.
4th-EXperience shows that the return
paid in cash on maturing Tontine 20.
licies approximates to or exceeds the
amount Of premiums paid by policy
holders, so that the average cost of the
assurance will be only about the interest
on the premiums.
5th-Tontine policies, like others, are
paid in full in the event of death at any
time during the term of the policy, and
are incontestable after three years, and
payable Immediately after due proof Of
death.
6th-Experience shows that the NOR.
tality is lower among TOntine policy.
holders, as the better lives seek this
kind of assurances, which is consider.
able source of profit.
7th-Tontine policies will be made
non-forfeitable under the laws of the
State, if so desired at the time the as.
surance is effected.
6th-The Tontine system is fair and
just; its accounts are accurately kept,
separate from all other business; the
funds judiciously invested and improv.
ed, and the accumulated profits faith.
fully guarded and properly apportioned.
9th-The Society has since its organi.
cation transacted larger amount of
new business than any other company,
while its new business for the first half
of the present year is $1,75O,OOO larger
than that of the first half of 1884. 1t
has Assets of $60,0O0,000; over $4,000
900 of Surplus, and its ratio of Surplus
to Liability is greater than that of any
other company.

WEARIED.

| am weary-oh, so weary
OF this seeming endless night,
OF the fortunes never ceasing
Borne by those bereft of sight,
And wonder--often wonder
II the time will ever be
When He who doomed me to be blind
Will bid me once more see.
am weary--oh, so weary
OF my all but useless life,
Of this cropping in the darkness
For escape from mental strife,
And | wonder--often wonder
If for me the die is cast,
And earth and sky. the moon and stars
Mere visions of the past.
| am weary-oh, so weary
Of this bearing up with fate,
Though much have to comfort me,
And many ills abate:
Friends have who feel for me,
And guide my steps Alright,
But an! they cannot ease the pangs
That take the place of sight.
am weary-oh, so weary
OF this hoping for the best
of these silent prayers for something
That will lay my brain to rest;
And wonder-often wonder
When the morrow comes again.
VIII it bring me more of sorrow,
Or bring sllrceasc of pain.
am weary, oh, so weary
Of the Masters Christening rod,
And gladly hear the whisper
''There is peace beneath the sod.'
Perhaps prove too selfish
In this giving breath to mind,
Whilst Observation-Disclosures far than /
Are homeless, cold and blind.
am weary-oh, so weary
OF this retrospect of life
With its cloud of base ingratitude
From one made my wife;
And l wonder-often wonder
Why the Power hath willed it so
That 1. who never sought to harm,
Should feel an ingrate's blow.

This brooding DER the bitter wrongs,
That turned my hair to gray
And | wonder-often wonder

am weary-oh, so weary
Of these memories of the past,
These ghosts of buried pleasures.
That rise and fade so fast.
And wonder-often wonder
What the future has in store.
And / try to force its portals
And its mysteries explore.
But / weary-quickly weary
AWL sink back in my chair,
For beyond the lighted Present
There is darkness everywhere.
Then wonder, and ponder

Shall ever feel its presence
Or know its mystery!

Of the tickings of the clock,
And the death-knells of the dying houl
My wearied senses mock.
And wonder-Often wonder
When Old Times uplifted scythe
win free me from this sea of gloom.

IMPROVING THE MALL.
The District Commissioners Make an
Important Suggestion to Congress.

The District Commissioners Make an
Important Suggestion to Congress.
The commissioners have addressed q
letter to Hon. VIM. NJ. Springer in refer
ence to the bill prepared by them looking
to the purchase of the squares between
Maine and Maryland avenues, known as
squares c and d, also square $40, between
Maryland avenue and b street south, and
between First and Second streets west.
This would enlarge the mall to b street
south and to the capitol. The commissioners
propose to construct an avenue from the
capitol to the monument, OF the same width
as Pennsylvania avenue, through the center
Of the mall.
There has been no assessment of the
property since 1888. At that time square
$40 was assessed at ST!,377, reservation c
at $4,000, and reservation ID at $l02, 500.
The present assessment would probably be
higher. The improvements would cause ON
extension Of Virginia avenue TO the north
west section Of the city. II would give a
continuous drive from the capitol to Rock
creek.
The commissioners also suggest for CON
sideration that the three avenues, Mary
land, Pennsylvania, and Monument 1.-THE
proposed new one) should be brought to
the capitol on suitable grade. The COM
mssioners state that they have discussed
the propriety of bringing the mall in the
near future to b street north.
Accompanying the letter is map show
