The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1890-03-25

The statement that the committee on
Ways and Means in the lower house
of Congress had unanimously de-
cided to recommend the abolition OF
the duty on all sugars is based on
information received in San Fran
cisco from a member of Congress.
The statement referees only
to raw sugars, and does not
include refined sugars, the duty
on which it was decided IN
committee to retain. This action of
course is not final, and even if it
should be adopted by the lower
house, would probably be changed
by the Senate to a lower rate than
il now is. The fact, however, that
the most important committee IN
Congress should have recommended
such a step indicates what the public
sentiment is regarding the sugar
duties.

PoL1T1cAL, like weather, prophecy,
is dangerous business, which gen
orally ruins more regulations than
il makes. We make no pretence
ourselves to any remarkable faculty
of provision. As to the sugar duties
our anticipations, which are by no
means so gloomy as some may sup
pose. may be stated in nutshell.
We believe that a reduction IN the
tariff during the present session, Is
highly probable; that it is not I'M
probable that this reduction will be
heavy; and that, though unlikely, 1t
is far from impossible that the whole
duty will be taken off. We infer that
the situation for us is serious one,
and calls imperatively for some
action.

The SUGAR TARIFF.

The news with regard to the tariff
on sugar which the Zealandia brings
is anything but reassuring. 1t sp-
pears that the Ways and Means
Committee of the House of Repre-
sentstives have unanimously signed
report which recommends the total
abolition of the duty on sugar, with
the payment of a bounty to home
producers of two cents q pound.
That the report is signed by all
the members of the committee both
Democrats and Republicans is an
ominous sign which we can i'll afford
to disregard. Everyone familiar
with the workings of the American
political system knows how power
full the committee is. Fortunately
its power to destroy are far greater
than its power to create. A bill
which cannot find a committee to
recommend it, surely dies. The con-
verse proposition however is not
invariably true, and committee re-
commendations even when unani-
NOUS sometimes fail to meet the ap-
proval of Congress. The House is
likely to pass the tariff bill of the
committee without fundamental
alteration but the Senate is in diff
ferent position. It is not biased in
favor of the Report of a House Com
mittee and on this part our hopes
must build.
There is no denying that the stu
alton is a very serious one. There is
no occasion for despair but the time is
one for energetic action without ref
erence. to party. ALI classes of the

Our correspondent of oday,
writing on the Portuguese, falls into
a serious error with regard to the
politics of the Luso Hawaiiano. The
Luso was a staunch supporter OF
the Reform party, and it was
through no following of its advice
that the Portuguese voted the Oppo-
sition ticket.

1t is not denied that other in
fuences were at work besides those
already mentioned. Among other
things the invitation of the Emperor
to a labor conference, which was
issued shortly before the elections, is
considered by some to have in
creased the socialistic vote.

SOCIALISM.

The heavy gains in the socialistlc
vote polled at the last election in Ger
many is significant and perhaps an
alarming sign of the times. A gain
of some Importance on the part OF
the socialists was foreseen and pre-
dicted by the Liberal press, at any
rate, but the gains that have actually
been realized far exceed all anticipa-
tions. The vote actually polled by
the socialists is placed at million
and half. We have been able to
obtain no exact statistical details,
but there was probably nearly twenty
per cent. of the total vote cast;
state of affairs certainly calculated
to excite some solicitude. The num-
Der of socialists elected to the Reich
stag is probably not much below
forty, thirty seven being the latest
figures which we have seen.
The meaning of the astonishing
Importance which socialism is be-
ginning to assume in German poll
tics is naturally the subject of a very
wide diversity of opinion. The Ger
man Liberals attribute it primarily
to the operation of the policy of Wig
orous suppression which Bismarck
has followed for years. The policy
of the German Government in regard
to socialism is like that of England
towards crime in Ireland.
The socialistic law is true coer-
cion act, creating crimes unknown to
the ordinary penal code. This law
limits the freedom of assembling, of
speech and of the Press. The Social
lists could not, it is said, post the
names of their candidates for cleo
ton on the walls.
Experience has shown both in
Germany and in Ireland, that coer-
cion is dreary failure, and only ag-
gravates the evils which 1t seeks to
suppress. 1t makes martyrs for the
prosecuted cause, and thus helps it
to thousands of adherents. The
election returns are proof of this
view. They are Plea for freedom,
and protest against coercion.
Whether this view of the affair is
correct or not, it is one which is not
only widely entertained abroad, but
one which is obtaining prevalence in
constantly widening circles in the
Fatherland itself. This is conclu
sively shown, both by the circum-
stance that the "Freisinnige" or
Liberals, who have always repre-
sented this standpoint, made con-
siderable gains at the election, and
still more conclusive by the fact that
the last Reichstag, though strongly
in sympathy with the Government,
refused to renew the socialistic law
without some modification in the in
terest of freedom.
1t is not denied that other in
fuences were at work besides those
already mentioned. Among other
things the invitation of the Emperor
to labor conference, which was
issued shortly before the elections, is

English nelodrama, opened in this city for
a weeks engagement. The afternoon per-
fOrmance was given to a large audience but
the evening saw the little theatre packed to

er too late to Mend" and is given with q
wealth of scenic effects, good company
and ali the adjuncts of a nrst-class produc-
ton. The star Is Mr.. Rufus Scott. who
gives good piece of work as Tom Shack
ford. and plays the part without the accus-
toned rant OF the meiOdramatic nero. The
speciaities Introduced were OF a bright and
Eogel kind and added greatly to the success
OF the play. The stage setting calls for

Interest tn people inhabitIng that vast area
OF coal territory In Cambria county and also
10 parties In RseRsburg, whs have money
invested In that section. Mr.. Van Ormer
has already leased his coal property TO par

Many years ago search was Commenced
foI this vein or coal. which was known 20
exist, according % the geological structure

There Is some dispute as 10 what coal
