A FITTING TRIBUTE.
Birthday Celebration that One Hus-
band Prep AIRED for HIS Wife.

Birthday Celebration that One Hus-
band Prepared for HIS Wife.
Mr.. II. A. Blair, the popul ar East
Commerce street druggist, paid his
charming wife fitting tribute of the
esteem and love in which he holds
her, by preparing for her a grand cell
ebration of the anniversary OF her
birthday. Friends 10 the number of
nearly 100 were invited and in re-
Spouse none failed to be present. Such
a gala scene as the Blair residence
and grounds presented last night, has
seldom been witnessed in San An
tonic domestic circles. The residence
was ablaZe with light and the grounds,
shaded in perfect canopy by spread
ing mulberry trees, were gorgeously
bedecked with vari-colored oriental
lanterns, festooned so artistically as
to form various geometrical figures.
The smooth earthen floor of the yard
had been carefully laid in sawdust,
and in the centre for the dancers,
spacious tarpaulins were stretched.
The excellent musicians of Artzt's
string band occupied position Oh the
extreme right. the refreshments were
deposited under large awning, and
the corps Of youthful walters were
marshalled in ready call and did ex-
cellent service during the evening in
attending to the every wish of the
guests. Mrs. Blair herself was every
where and her bright smile and win
ming, homely hospitality manifes-
ted itself in various ways, al
ways devising for the comfort
and pleasure of the guests, with
untiring zeal. So much electrical
force and personal magnetism is sell
dom seen IN one of Ewes daughters,
and when seen is never used to such
good purpose as did the fair hostess.
A fine supper was served at IL
o'clock and after the. guests arose
hearty vote of thanks was unani-
mously given by them to Mr.. and
Mrs. Blair for their entertainment
throughout the evening. Several
short speeches, quite apropos, We're
made by the gentlemen, remarka bic
among which was Col. Hadley's
short, but perfectly authoritative dis
course upon the subject of matrimo-
ny. The hour was 8 o'clock
this morning when all the guests de-
parted, Mrs. Blair received quite a
bewildering quantity of costly and
beautiful presents from her husband
and their guests and many who could
not attend in person sent as their rep
some beautiful remem-
brance.

SUGAR TARIFF AND BOUNTIES,

When it is remembered, says the
San Francisco Post, that the cane
sugar industry of Louisiana is de-
pendent for its very existence on the
tariff on sugar, the result Of the re-
cent election in the Third congress
slonal district in that state appears
the more surprising. The infuen-
tlal men IN that section are all sugar
producers, and they can and do com
pletely control the elections. Their
interests are identical with the Re
publicans of the North, and yet for
the phantom fear of NEGRO domino
ton" they ally themselves with the
party Of Mills, Carlisle and Hurd,
and trust to the generosity of the
Republicans of the North to prevent
their industry from being absolutely
wiped out.
1t is admitted by all that the sugar
tariff will be altered when Congress
meets this winter, and the beet sugar
producers Of California, the sorghum
sugar growers of Kansas and the
cane planters of Louisiana should
at once decide upon some plan of
action in order that their interests
and their rights may be given a pro
per hearing before any decided
changes are made. The duty on
sugar is a variable one, depending
on the color and per cent. of saccha-
rine contents of the imported article.
1t averages about two cents pound.
and there is a plan on foot to reduce
it about one-half. such reduction
would decrease the United States
revenue many million dollars annu-
ally and would give the Democrats
no chance to bewail the existence of
the surplus.
If the sugar producers of this
country are not to be injured they
must have compromising bounty in |
case reductions are made. Claus
5preckels and the Dyers, who pro
1uce all the California beet sugar.
would be satisfied with the bounty, |
and, indeed, Claus Spreckels has
openly advocated the plan. The
zane product of Louisiana is about
10000 tons annually, or equal to
he Hawaiian crop. The question
low is would they and the sorghum
growers be equally satisfied with
Jlaus Spreckels' views.

THE SUGAR MARKET.

The following from Messrs. VIII
lett d Hamlin's New York circula,
OF Sept. 18th, will interest all engag
ed IN sugar. 1t emphasizes what has
before been stated, and is probably
correct forecast of the market for
the next twelve months. Since it's
publication, advices of cold weather
and snow in eastern Europe have
been received, which must still fur
Their reduce the crop of the present
year:
During the week under review it
mas become more evident that the
unfortunate experiences of the En-
ropean sugar syndicate since July
nave caused lower level of values
to be touched than is warranted bv
the statistical position or crop pros
poets and that we are now PASSING
the lowest prices likely to be made
during the coming twelve months.
The beet crop is no longer consider
ed an early one and the latest report is
that the beet roots are inferior
IN quality to last year. Re
ports from cane-producing coun-
tries are favorable as far as weather
goes, but it is yet early to estimate
results; and, taken altogether. there
Is good ground for expectation that
"'e Average price of sugar in 1890 actn be
a000e the Average price Of 1889. Euro-
pean markets are slowly responding
TO the situation, which in the United
otates business, is now moving with
more satisfaction in refined and with
stronger tendency to raws. Receipts
are very small and stocks in all hands
are reduced II, 2O8 tons for the week |
leaving only 42,478 tons in impor-
ters' hands, against 1922 tons at
same time last year. Muscovados
are virtually exhausted and holders
OF centrifugals are claiming 1c. adj
vance on last sales. Total stock in
Ill the principal countries by latest
Uneven dates is 483,722 tons, against
1861 tons at same time last year ~

seditious Publications.

Mr.. EDITOR: II the rumors are
true, that are constantly going
around the city of various writings
IN the Hawaiian papers, that are
calculated to stir up the Hawaiians,
would it not be a good plan for the
Police department to keep regular
files of the offending organs, and
have a man, an extra one if neces-
sary, read them every day, translat-
ing all offensive political articles,
which shall be laid before the Attor-
ney-General for prosecution, if
necessary? 1t seems as if some such
action would check this evil and
save perhaps future trouble.
These papers have learned long
ago that because they are written in
Hawaiian, anything they may say
will go unmolested, but if they find
that there is a chance of being held
responsible they will be more eau
tious.
Perhaps it may be said that there is
no appropriation for this purpose, but
the answer to this may be that there
is no especial appropriation for sup
pressing instructions, but it has to
be done, and the money is found
for it.
Will not preventive methods cost
less than suppressive, especially as
the latter may entail not only loss of
money, but what is far more serious
the loss of life? Let us take all
necessary precaution for the pre-
servation of peace, even if it costs
little money. CITIZEN.

THE DAILY


ACCORDING to several of the Ameri-
can journals recently to hand, a
severe winter in North America and
Europe is feared owing to early
signs OF wintry conditions in portions
OF these countries; and, if these pre-
dIctlons should be verified, an unusu-
ally large number of "birds of pas
sage" may be expected to visit these
islands during the early months of
winter. Recently there have been
considerable accessions to our popu
Iatlon from America, and during the
coming season very large numbers of
tourists will stay over more or less
time on the islands so as to escape
the seventies of colder climates.
