or l would a tale unfold that would
make somebody blink with surprise;
but when my uncertain acquaintance
ripens into intimacy, | shall let
few of his whisperings out of the
bag.
don't suppose that the consider
alton of American politics interferes
materially with your affairs but,
just now, we have no thoughts but
for politics. The political atmos-
phere is now creeping into our
homes and our stores. We mingle
politics with our pleasures, our
business; and the young man with
his eye on municipal office, or q
deputyship, mingles it with his love.
Every tongue tips conidentially
into your ear the secret of Blaine's
declination, or the certain result of
Cleveland's tariff message. Secret
political organizations are spreading
throughout the country, unifying
the scattered forces of their chosen
candidates, and collecting data for
their campaign ammunition. Ros-
coe Conkling, the silent, but most
powerful factor in Blaine's defeat in
1884, has passed beyond the excite
ment of a presidential fight; and
Beecher, the chief of mugwumps,
will no longer stand in the way of the
Republican leaders, advance. The
expectations of the majority in the
Republican camp are fastened upon
Blaine. His adherents will attempt
to have him nominated by acclama-
ton in spite of his declination-or
rather because of it--and depend
upon his going before the country
as the unanimous choice of the
loyal Republicans for much OF
his strength. Cleveland has aroused
all sections by his propositions or
the tariff question. He has fur.
nishcd an issue TO the campaign
more important than any other sub
mitted to the people since the war
an issue which will fix upon the
fight the attention of the great
manufacturing countries of Europe
and which will disclose the vas
agricultural resources of the Soutl
and West, and the growing manu-
featuring interests of the North ant
East. 1t is question, too, whicl
will concern closely the sugar bust
ness of the Islands; for upon it
solution may depend upon the exist
ence of the treaty with Hawaii.
l may be able to tell you some
thing in my next of the move in th
sugar line which Spreckels is making
in the Eastern States. BoNCAR.

TOURIST TRAVEL.

The tourist season has about COM
menced in California, and as the
San Francisco "Examiner" says,
"there is every indication of an un-
usually active season." we should
offer inducements to turn the tide of
travel this way. There are many
places of interest on these islands
that, were they known, would be
sought as health and pleasure re-
sorts. The paradise of the Pa
cifc" has been instrumental in dis
seminating useful knowledge regard
Ing the islands, and it may have had
an influence IN the right direction.
Another work from the pen Of
Mr.. +. L. Clarke, called the cha
waiian Guide Book will shortly ap-
pear before the pubic-if it has not
already done so-that will give some
valuable information to tourists con-
templating trip to these islands.
But other agencies should be en-
ployed to induce travel this way in
conjunction with these valuable
publications, that after all are only
mute witnesses of what is in store
for the sight-seer or seeker after
health.
A live man, thoroughly posted on
the country, its resources for health
or pleasure, and capable of COM
manding respect, might be profta-
bly, employed in San Francisco, to
work up this business and from
which we might expect favorable
results. Large sums of money are
annually spent by tourists, and with
little eXertion on our part, many
of them can be induced to come
here for at least short season, and
not few may become permanent
residents.
1t should be the aim of every in
terest directly involved, to see that
this class of travellers is properly
treated, and not made the victim o.
eXtortion either here in the capita
city, or in the country districts
All reasonable facilities should b'
provided for travel and enjoyment
both by transportation companie
and hotel-keepers.
Another thing that would conduc
to keep tourists here, and thus b
beneficial to us, would be to max
the city of Honolulu attractive. l

For an unsightly and filthy city vii
repel visitors, and cause them t
seek more genial quarters; while

such as Honolulu could be made

the desired object.

HOW ABOUT the WRESTLING
MATCH.

EDITOR BULLETIN:- The wrestling
match advertised to take place in
the Music Hall tomorrow night, is
being kept very quiet. Is it to be
q public affair, or are the japanese
going to have q little amusement
exclusively on their own account
If it is to be public, L should think
that it would be advisable for the
management to make public notice
of it, either through the columns of
the newspapers or by posters; stat
ing the time, price of admission and
the names of the participants. If
it is private affair, no attention
should have been called to it in the

COED FOR DlPTRERlA.

The Medical Times says: Alec.
hol, we make bold to say, is the
prince Of anticipates and the most
perfect and reliable medicine of
which we have any knowledge in
diptheria. Diluted with equal parts
Of water, and given in small and re-
peated doses, the malignant symp-
toms of this most fatal malady soon
disappearand convalescence becomes
assured. 1t is interesting to note
with what facility the alcohol dis
solves the diptheretic eXudation in
the throat, lowers the temperature
and calms the pulse, showing its de-
structive action upon the germs of
the disease which have been absorb
ed by the glands and gained access
to the blood. This remedy has been
used by us in the treatment of dip
liberia since 1873, during which
time no case of the disease has
slipped through our hands except in
one solitary instance, and that case
was in aricuo mortis before the
remedy was given. The remedy is
also pEophylactc to the disease, as
we have iound in many instances
where il has been expedient to quar-
antine the patient. For this pur-
pose it is onlynecessary for exposed
persons to use the remedy, diluted

ANOTHER TRIAL FOR SORGHUM.

At brief intervals, says the cana
lyst," for the last ten or fifteen
years, glowing prospects have been
held out to such dealers in sugar as
would consent to abandon the
beaten track and enter upon the
manufacture of sorghum sugar. AS
long ago as 1879, DR.. Collyer, who
was at that time Chemist of the
Agricultural Department at Wash
ington, had this to say on the sub
iect: "If they will give me ten
acres of ground to experiment on
next season, l will return twenty
acres of raw sorghum sugar fully
equally to the best raw cane sugar
or forfeit my reputation. The corn
crop of Illinois is worth about $751;
900, 900; if they will devote one
tenth of the acreage to sorghum of
the best variety, they can raise
sugar equal in value to the whole
amount now imported, which is
about $109, ,000." Professor
Collyer also reports the success he
had met with in extracting sugar
from ordinary white field corn,
which was remarkable enough to en-
title it to a place in any sugar dis
cussion. From an acre planted
with corn known as the horse-tooth
variety, he gathered the ears when
fully ripe, and their yield of shelled
corn was siXty-nine and one-tenth
bushels, or over double the average
yield per acre of the whole country
for that year. Then from the
stalks he extracted $50 pounds OF
raw sugar, and left something yet
to be used as fodder. The idea OF
procuring sugar from corn stalks is
not new one and did not originate
with Professor Collyer. 1t is said to
| have been long practised in some parts
of Mexico, and in letter to John
Adams from his wife, dated Sep
tember "a, 1777, she gives an ac-
count of its being done in Massa.
chusetts during the Revolutionary
war. So far, however, all devices
for extracting cheap and good raw
sugar, either from corn stalks OF
sorghum, have met with ignominou;
failure, unless, indeed, the --latest
attempt, which has not yet proceed
ed far enough to be rightly judged
should happily prove an exception
The scheme is briefly this: A Bostor
company is formed with capital O.
100000, which will be increased
to 81, 100000 if the result of thc
first years experiment is satisfac
tory. During the year they viii

SAN FRANCISCO LETTER.

If some of your people are to be
believed, we of this city have scarcely
a notion of the turmoil in which you
labored, while the throne of your
King trembled at the threats of the
opposition, and the disposition of
his kingdom was being deliberated
upon by some patriotic republicans.
A few evenings since, met friend
from Honolulu who had come to
San Francisco TO squander few
idle weeks. He was an officer of
the Honolulu Rifles during the ex-
element, and gave me quite an in
teresting, indeed, n romantic ac-
count of the revolutionary troubles
which have made that corps some
what historic in Hawaiian affairs.
His part in the drama was rather
prominent, and, TO his own idea,
jeopardized his business, his social
standing, and even his life. He had
charge of the detail which arrested
w. Nj. Gibson, and, while in charge
of the o. S. S. dock, was the recipi-
ent of orders to capture or shoot-it
mattered little which-two of Homo
lulu's belligerent citizens, who it was
expected, would attempt to leave
the Islands at the time. The in
tended victims probably heard OF
the entertainment to which they
were to be treated, and remained
under cover until the anger of the
Rifles had subsidized. | am not suf-
