George H. Torbert Again.

Subscribers to the George II. Torbert re
lief fund will be gratifed to learn that Tor
bert at least stands chance OF being
treated on his merits as habituai thiei
and not as a distinguished but unfortunate
visitor. He has been arrested at San
Francisco for grand larceny, and charged
with stealing a gold watch from Franz
Whitney, bartender at the \. \. Saloon
on Kearney near Bush street. Torber
also swindled Theodore Beichart OF th'
Surveyor Generals Office by playing upor
his sympathies with a piteous tale OF pov
ertv. Reichart took Torbert TO his home
on Eddy street to prevent him committing
suicide, and the latter rewarded him by
stealing pair of opera glasses, which wer'
subsequently found in a pawn shop III
was arrested about year ago for forging
orders on the Merchant" but the cas-
was compromised. This was before hi
career in Honolulu.

HAwA.lAN RECIPROCITY,
rhe Outlook for the AbrOgatiOn OFthe
Treaty.

I WASHINGTON, February %. = The Ha-
waiian Reciprocity Treaty is attracting
much attention here, and the wonder is
often expressed that an international agree
rnent which benefits neither one country
nor the other, but only a few spectators,
should be allowed to remain in force so
long. tSearles' report shows that the treaty
has been q maledictiont to the Kanaka king
dom, sand that this country has gained
neitlhr trade nor cheaper sugar through the
treaty, while it has lost a revenue OF nearly
500, OO0, OO0.F HiscOck, of the Committee
on WAYS and Means, said that the worst
feature OF the case was that the working
men of this country were brought in COM
petition with the peon labor Of the Islands.
de said that unless this ugly fact could be
cot out of the way the treaty was doomed.
Ex-Secretary Boutwell, said yesterday that
he was notified suddenly to appear for the
Hawaiian Government. He received his
instructions by telegraph from San Fran
cisco. 1t Is generally supposed here that 1t
was Claus Spreckels who directed him to
60 before the committee, but there Is only
one opinion about the treaty expressed here,
and that is that the House Will vote to
abrogate it. In the Senate 1t has many
enemies The Southern interests are ar
rayed against it and New York is opposed
to it. Morrison is determined to push the
question to a speedy hearing, and early
action may be expected. MOrrison's inter
est in the abrogatiOn of the treaty may be
inferred from the fact that instead OF allow
ing it to go to the Committee on Foreign
Affairs, he had it referred to his own COM
mittee, where he has charge OF IT.

WASHINGTON, February 23.-The Hawaii
an Reciprocity Treaty will be taken up to-
morrow morning by the subcommittee on
WAYS and Means. The Hawaiian Minister,
H. A. P. Garter, viii appear before the
committee to urge that tho treaty be re-
tanned in force The Minister has an ex-
tended report to submit or tho benefits
which it is alleged this country derives
from the Treaty. Morrow and Futon both
favor the continuation of the Reciprocity
Treaty, but it Is not probable, that either
viii appear bafore the committao. Morrow
has another appointment, which VIII pre-
vent his attendance 1IcKenna Is opposed
to the treaty for two reasons: First, be-
cause it brings American labor in COMPETE
and second, because he holds that recipro-
ton with cheap coolie labor on the Islands;
CITY treaties made by the President and
Senate are unconstitutional, because they
restrict the House in passing legislation IN
regard to revenue. His argument is that
the Reciprocity Treaty is a kind of fiscal
legislation enacted by the Senate and the
President, and the Constitution vests IN the
House the exclusive right TO initiate and
control such legislation. McKenna will
probably appear before the committee to-
morrow and ask that the hearing be post
poned until he can further prepare himself,
and also 20 give an opportunity to the
others to be heard. Henley is also opposed
to the treaty. Loutitt says that he has not
yet made up his mind.

GIVING the RACKET AWAY.

| If the Democrats were shrewd they would
not show their interest in the Third Party
movement quite so plainly. Their hilarity
over what they are pleased to call the telling
| points Of st. John, and the crushing blows
| of Gen. Dow sets everyone to inquiring the
reason for it. Nobody supposes for an in
slant that their state of mind results from
| the hope that the Third Party movement
will be the means of securing better en-
forcement of the prohibitory laws, for their
organs all declare with one accord opposi-
sition to those laws, and there never has
| been anything more than pretence OF en-
state 6nt d hE and R Re 4 Gratis a a bF
most unpopular Democrat in Maine. The
whole course of the party in the past mega
tives effectually any such explanation as
| this.
| The fact remains, however, that the De-
mocracy are deeply interested in the Third
Party movement, SO deeply that its organs
can find nothing too good to say of temper
ance men who are committed to it and moth
ing too bad to say of men who refuse to have
anything to do with it. Gen. Dow, whom the
Democracy have despised and denounced 10
these many years, is now Rugged to their
| bosoms and welcomed as long lost brother.
| Rev. John Collins, who years ago expressed
| the opinion that it was questionable if any
Democrat could possibly get into heaven is
now very dear to the Democratic heart.
They have forgiven all the harsh things
he used to say about them and are ap-
provingly patting him on the back. On the
other hand the Rev. Mr.. LeLacheur is stigma
tized as man without a mind, and the Rev.
Mr.. bennett is accused of having sold out
for ticket to Squirrel Island.
Having eliminated the explanation that
their interest is the result of a desire for
success of prohibition, what remains? Only
this, that the Democracy are interested in
this movement simply because they see in it
means of breaking down the Republican par
ty. That their interest in it is precisely the
same as in the Greenback movement of a few
years ago. That they fostered because they
believed it would weaken the Republicans.
They knew that it was impossible for the
Greenbackers to establish permanently
third party, but they saw some temporary
advantage to them in the movement and SO
they coddled it. They know that the Pro-
hibition party cannot succeed. If they
thought it could they would oppose it as bit
terly as they oppose the Republicans; but
they hope that it may draw off votes enough
from the Republicans to enable them to
elect somebody. 1t is only by some such
subterfuge that they can succeed, for the
people of Maine have no confidence in them
and they knowit Hence their hilarity over
this Third Partymovement But their joy has
become so demonstrative that everybody's
attention is being attracted to it, and the in
evtable result will be that every temperance
man of common sense will see through the
racket and refuse to do anything to help it
along. The Prohibition leaders should have
checked the demonstrativeness of their Dem
ocratic admirers. They should have insist
ed in their keeping out of sight.
