OUR SAN FRANCISCO LETTER.
SAN FRANCISCO, july lst.


disliked and feared 10y Foraker of
Ohio, who has presidential aspira-
tions himself: another was that he
was loyal to Sherman: but the po-
tent one was that the Blaine men did
not want him. If they could not
succeed in getting unanimous
nomination they wanted man who
would pc acceptable to the trusts,
corporations and monopolies; hence
Harrison, n corporation attorney
and avowed enemy of labor unions
and pro-Chinese advocate was
chosen.
Levi p. Morton, New York and
London banker, was put on the
ticket with him to furnish the
"sack," and q private circular has
been issued to manufacturers by
the Republican committee pointing
out that as this tariff fight is in their
interest exclusively they should
subscribe literally to "protect Am
crcan industry" The Chinese are
putting up big purse for the Re-
publican candidates.
The great party of "moral ideas
has fallen very low when its plat
form resolves itself into high taxes
on the necessaries of life and free
whiskey and tobacco. Repeal the
internal revenue taxes on whiskey
and tobacco they say if there be q
surplus, but in any case increase
the taxes through the Custom
House, imposing duties upon arti-
Giles in common use not imported,
to enable the manufacturers to form
pools or trusts to keep up prices.
The Republican platform made
bid for the Irish note, but it was an
afterthought, and done in n mala-
droit way. Irish nationalists are
tackled on to Brazilian niggers in a
way that suggests the idea that the
"grand old party thinks more of
the sons of Ham, even the most de-
based of their race in the savanahs
Of Brazil, than the sons of Milesius,
of Brian Boru, Wolfe Tone, Rob-
ert Emmett, and the rest of the
worthless famed in Irish song and
story. Testing aside, the reference
TO the Irish national party and
cause, in its connection, in the Re
publican platform, was an imperti-
nence which both English and Irish
voters will not be apt to forget on
the 9th Nov. Gladstone and Par
nell are two of the very highest pro,
ducts of Anglo-SaXon civilization,
and to tack them on to Brazilian
imperidists, as the advocates of q
meaner cause and lower order OF
human intelligence than the slaves
of Brazil, is an offence which vii
bring its own punishment at the polls
The New York Sugar Trust t.
which so many of the Hawaiian
planters belong has issued a circu
lar to brokers, boycotting all out
side sugar. They are to lose thei
commission on sales if they handle
any but trust sugar. Public appre

Owing to the report of Consul
General Putnam at Honolulu that
large numbers of lepers leave that
port for the Coast, more rigid in
spection is made, and little Minnie
Scholtz was detained on board the
Australia by the health authorities,
the United States Court refusing TO
issue writ of habeas corpus, on
the ground that the jurisdiction was
with the State Courts. Meanwhile
the little girl was surreptitiously
landed by her father, and both
started overland on an emigrant
train. What the outcome may be

companies had known they would
not allow her to travel. This may
prevent any other afflicted people
from the islands going to Germany
for treatment. After all, their own
home is the best place for them.
