THE UNITED STATES AND SAMOA.

On March 5th Representative Morrow
of California introduced in the House of
Representatives at Washington, reso-
luton of enquiry calling on the Presi-
dent to furnish Congress all information
in possession of the Executive Depart
ment and all correspondence between
this country and it's Consular or otht r
agent at the Navigators (Samoan) ISL
ands, regarding public affAirs at these
islands. The resolution was brought
about by Mr.. H e. Morris, who arrived
at Washington the night before from San
Francisco, taking with him a letter of
introduction from the Chamber of Com
merce of that city to Representative
Morrow. Mr.. Morris is an American
resident of Samoa, and gives graphic
account of the occupation of these isl
and5 by the Germans, and his mission
to Washington is to asc nrtain just what
the Governmet proposes to do. The
Germans have gone into the islands,
kidnapped the king, demanded the islands
from his subjects and so upset all COM
mercial relations as to compel American
citizens engaged in business to abandon
their interests and leave the islands. Mr..
Morris now wants to know if the United
States proposes to allow her citizens to
be maltreated by foreign power, and if
this Government will guarantee them
protection

uIars of the scores and Prize
Winners.

On Saturday last the Hawaiian Rife
Association held a target practice at
their range on King street. The weather
was fair all day and the attendance at
the range quite large, in fact it was one
of the most successful meetings, taken
altogether, ever held by the Association.
The idea of citizens match was great
attraction, and no less than $161 were
taken for entrance money on the event.
The total proceeds of the day was 1857.
Our citizens responded literally and con-
tributed prizes for the Citizens Match.
We give below the thirty-four winners.
The highest scorer takes his choice of the
numerous prizes and is requested to call
as early as possible at Mrs. 7. Lacks
store, Fort street, where Mr.. Chas. H.
Nicoll, the secretary, will distribute the
prizes. After No. has made his selec-
ton then comes No. 2 and so on until all
are distributed.
In the third event, Gold Purse, no
one made the requisite 1872 points, so the
prize will be shot for again at the 4th of
July meeting. The arrangements of the
day were complete, thanks to the ener-
getic secretary, Mr.. G. H. Nicoll. Fol
lowing is the result of the shooting:

MRS. ALEXANDER MITCHELL was one

there appeared in Florida paper
what purported to be an interview

SPECIAL efforts should be made in
Southern California to secure the 10.
cation of one or more of Mr.. Spreckel's
beet sugar mills. Ten are to be
erected in various portions Of the
State during the present year. There
are a great number of localities in
Southern California where the sugar
beet can be grown with the greatest
success. In fact, it has been proved
that those grown here contain a
greater percentage of saccharine
matter than the general aver
age. The profits realized from
the growth of the beet are some
thing enormous. From twenty-five to
thirty tons is the usual crop per acre.
The Western Beet Sugar Company, Of
which Mr.. Spreckels is President, and
under which his enterprise is known
will pay "a per ton for beets containing
the least per centage Of sugar, and
proportionately higher for those con-
tanning a greater quantity Of sacsharine
matter. This would be mo profit
able crop to our farmers, and the loca-
tion of mill hero would be an addi-
ton OF no small moment to our rap
idly developing industrial interests.

The New York Tribune asks !:

Is the time never to come when il
will be understood that a lawyer can
not render even q technical service in
q corrupt transaction without sharing
the odium of it, and having to answer
before the tribunals Of the profession
The question is respectfully referred
to the members of the Los Angels 8
bar who seem to be trying to defeat
the ends of Justice in their plea for
delay in the case Of the People against
Anschlag. That callous shedder OF
blood is morally obtuse, is heartlessly
unfeeling-but insane! Is there a
man in Los Angeles who knows any
thing about the man who is at all in
doubt about the sanity Of this most
cold-blooded Of manslayers ? The
court will have an opportunity of pass
ing its judgment on the application
for stay to-day. The court is doubt
less sane enough to pass on it.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1888-02-11

The country press has all copied
with great assiduily report that an
attempt was made to lynch Anschlag
in this city a few days ago, and that
the slayer of the Hitchcock family
tainted through fear. Some Of our
contemporaries, with great and sensa-
tional enterprise, gave currency to
that report; but, as a matter of fact,
there is not word of truth in either
chapter of the story. There was no
such demonstration made by any
people in Los Angeles, and the stony.
hearted Anschlag did not faint.

How hollow are the rretensions Of
the Republican party when it pro-
fesses that it wants to maintain the
present tariff schedule in order to pro-
tect American industries, is a patent
fact to any one at all conversant with
the outgivings of that party. Mr..
Henry Cabot Lodge, of Boston, is
usually regarded as good Repub-
lican. Mas sachusetts is the home of
the protective faction. In 1884, at the
assembling of the Republican con-
ention of the Old Bay State, Mr..
Lodge called that body to order.
Here is a part of his address:
Grave public questions confront US.
There is large, perilous and growing
surplus in the revenue. 1t must be
removed, not by needless and extra
VACANT expenditure, not by abolishing
the proper taxation of whisky and to-
bacco, not by a stupid and injurious
horizontal reduction for politics only,
but by plain business methods; by
freeing entirely those great necessaries
of life which enter into the daily con-
sumption of every household, and by
wise and discriminating reductions.
As President of the same Conven-
ton Hon. John D Long said, in his
address:
There are only two ways to reduce
the surplus revenue-ene by raising
the tariff to prohibitory height,
which nobody advocates; the other,
the free list. The free list is the hon.
est revenue reformer's hope.
Now, will some Of the political
economists who claim to sec nothing
but bald Free Trade principles in the
Presidents message take the utter
ances Of that document and those of
these staunch Republican leaders in
this hotbed Of Protection, and point
out the differences between the two
positions? Many Of our contempo-
raries affect to have great keenness of
insight in the abstruse questions sur
rounding the tariff. Here, then, is a
bone for their picking well worthy
some effort.

A MAJORITY, we may say all, Of the
cigar manufacturers on the Pacific
coast who employ white help are as q
unit opposed to the abolition OF the
internal revenue tax on cigars.
The reasons which they set forth are
pla usible and worthy Of the attention
Of our representatives in Congress.
Under our present system every cigar
factory is numbered and every box
Of cigars must have stamped upon it
the district in which the factory is To-
Gated and The number it bears. A
Yenalty is imposed for nom compli-
sa1ce With this law, and no one can
use the empty boxes without in
curing like danger. This affords q
protection to the white cigar manu-
facturer. Under this system the
cigar manufacturer can tell whether

would there be to prevent capitalists

THs counties of California having
zen orally settled with the State their
tax charges for the year, it appears
that Los Angeles stands second in the
list, only San Francisco county paying
moro revenue to the State than we do.
The metropolis pays u 1882 ,39l. IL;
and Los Angeles pays $455, ,S25, ,66.
Sacramento ranks sixth among the
counties in this respect paying $751;
4sO.O1. At this showing the Record
Union expresses great dissatisfaction,
and raises the point that Los Angeles
does not pay enough. The reason on
which this complaint is based, is the
the relative area of the two counties,
Sacramento having only 1858 square
miles Of territory while Los Angeles
has 1872. The illogical reasoning OF
our contemporary is one OF those
cases which disprove themselves by
proving too much. BY that course OF
lo.ic tl,cn San Francisco pays too
much. Ii: fact, on the basis Of area,
that county should pay the least tax
of all the counties. She has only AZ
square miles Of territory. Then San
BernaYdino ought to pay the most, as
she has 21,171 square miles area.
San Diego ought to come next with
her 14,96S miles area, and 1nyo,
which pays only $s.302.66 and
stands near the foot of the list.
"a the rating value would be lifted to
the third place as she has 1876
square miles Of territory. Bill Nye
has . story OF man whose grain was
30 cross that when he found nothing
els to find fault with, scolded worm
because its tail was too long for its
head. The Record Union is in about
the same attitude ..ss..:a.rding Los An
teles. II that journal and other insti-
tutions of the northern section OF the
State will but give us time we will soon
stand at the head Of the list in this as
in all other matters Of development,
wealth and prosperity. As surely as
Los Angeles has grown away beyond
Sacramento in these elements of pros
perity, so surely will she in time out
strip even San Francisco. We thought,
until we read this wall, that even the
Record Union would be satisfied with
Los Angeles being second in the list,
and scarcely expected the friendly in
vitation to go up higher from that
source. But we are modest, and will
wait few years more before taking
our place absolutely at the head OF the
list.

The whole theory of the goldites is
utterly overthrown by these few
figures. When we consider how
much more of the one metal is used
in the arts than Of the other, and the
other fact that silver is the money
generally used in the bulk of the
transactions of the masses the world
over, thereby suffering much more by
wear than gold coin does, it will ap-
pear that there is no overproduction
of silver as compared with gold. In
our own country, return to the old
fashioned policy Of free coinage of
both metals would result in the
greatest era Of development and
prosperity ever witnessed in the his
tory of mankind.

The Hour and the Man.

The convention has nominated Grover
cleveland for second term. It was done
by reclamation. It was done with enthu-
siasn. It was done because the unani-
NOUS sentiment of the Democratic party
demanded it. 1t was done because Justice
to the man who has given the country
capable, honest and efficient administra-
ton required this Endorsement of his con-
duct at the hands of the Democratic party
Well, it has been done and the an
nouncement comes without surprise, be-
cause everybody knew it would be DONE
Everybody expected it. Perhaps it would
not be too much to say that, excepting the
Republican politicians, who naturally and
for obvious reasons do not like it at all,
everybody hoped it would be done.
1t will be said, of course, because they
who do not like Grover Cleveland and
must say something to break the force of
their bitter disappointment, that the
president compelled his denomination
against the real sentiment of his party.
lit is said that Democrats do not like Cleve-
land, but they nominate him because they
have to, This is the current Republican
explanation Of what has happened at st.
Louis.
1t is very weak folly. It may indeed be
that there are some Democratic politicians
of certain sort who do not like Grover
Cleveland and who would have prevented
his denomination if they could have pre-
vented it. No doubt they have reason
for their enmity. They have made no
stand against Cleveland, have arrayed no
opposition, have put no effective obstacle
On the way of his nomination, but have
been swept out of the way like withered
ueaves before mighty wind.
What compelled the denomination of
President Cleveland? Not his own will
nor the power of any combination or
political machine, as Republicans vainly
pretend. 1t was not that, but it was the
irresistible force of public sentiment
called out by the invincible courage, the
Iunfiinching honesty, the earnestness and
sincerity Of the plain man who simply.did
his duty and did it well. It was that
force that sweeping before it the obiec-
tions Of the timid, the sophistry of the
demagogue, the Vaccinations of the cor
Tupt and envious and malignant, has COM
PEELED the denomination of Grover Cleve-
land, the faithful official, the earnest
patriot, the honest man.-Cleveland
