In the interest of the much abused drum
mer and for the benefit OF those who abuse
him, we reproduce his ballad IN ou- notes:
TIE DRUMMER AND HIS GRIP.
Though the rain and seet are falling,
Though the roads are awful muddy,
Though hard times all men are bawllng,
Though n fellows nose gets ruddy,
Though tho rivers may be frozen,
Though the frost may bite and nip,
They can never stop the advent
OF the Drummer and his Grip.
Though the trains may all he smashing,
Though the horses all go lame,
The drummer, like the bcd-buS,
VIII get there just the same.
And when his time Is over,
VIII come smiling from his trip,
For he always makes connections,
Docs the Drummer with his grip.
All, he teaches us q lcssoE,
With his energy and grit,
Things that paralyZc most people,
DO not aStonish him q bit.
He is ever bright and cheerful
A smile Is on his lip,
He's daisy from O way back,
Is the Drummer and his grip.
Give him kind word always,
He'll give you back the same,
For the doingS Of some black sheep,
Don't give the whole tribe blame;
For down, clear down to Hades,
Some so.called good men slip,
While along the road to Heaven,
Goes the Drummer with his grip. S.

ary 10, the Gentiles ("Liberals") gained
a signal victory over the Mormons
("People's Party'D. A full line of
city officers were elected from among
the Gentiles. The victory was i'm
mediately celebrated throughout the
city by illuminations, bonfres. parades,
music, firing of cannons, and rejoicing
over the sweeping defeat of the Lat

The Mormons admit their defeat,
but say the Gentiles carried the elec-

will be contested.
If there was no fraud on either side,
then may the Mormons and the Gen.

sanity harbingers Of the millennium.

SUGAR TARIFF.

In further conversation with
Judge Hartwell, we asked his opin-
ions on the probable prospect of
the new tariff as affecting Hawaiian
sugar interests and he kindly fur
nished the following notes
"Many sugar men in the States
profess to think that the price of
sugar will not be reduced more
then one cent a pound by the new
tariff. American sugar producers
do not feel as sure now as they
did, before the elections of keeping
their bounty of two cents a pound.
If for any reason, either by judicial
decision that the bounty clause is
unconstitutional, or from a refusal
of any Congress to vote the money,
the bounty shall be lost, free sugar
men in Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska
will call for a duty on imported
sugar. Nor is any one sure of the
effect which the new tariff will
have on imports and revenues out,
side of the sugar schedule. Some
persons are discussing the advisa-
bility of postponing the operation
of the schedule long enough to see
how the revenues shall come in,
and also to have test made of the
constitutionality of the bounty.
"Another question which causes
discussion is whether the entire
tariff act which the President
signed, which for some unknown
cause omits the clause allowing a
drawback on tobacco, which Con-
gress voted, is valid. If it is not,
the present Congress will have to
pass curative act in order to hold
the new tariff.
"The hostility to removing sugar
duties and to placing high duties
on certain articles, which was felt
by many Republican Senators as
we'll as Representatives, may be
renewed, and etfectually, if discus
sion of such a curative act comes
before the present Congress.
"The outcome of it all no one
can foretell, for it is said prophecy
ing is not yet reduced to an exact
science"

FAST STEAMSHIP line.

Mr.. Bryce Douglas, managing
director of the Naval Construction
and Armaments Company, has re-
turned from America, and reports
that he has secured the subsidy
from the Dominion Government for
a fast Atlantic line, which will re-
quire four large twin screw
steamers, whose speed will not be
less than twenty knots. The
scheme also embraces a line Of fast
steamers between Vancouver and
the Australian colonies, touching at
the Sandwich and the FIJI islands,
for which separate subsidy has
been voted by the Canadian Parlia-
ment, and negotiations are now
pending with the Australian Gov
eminent for their quota of the sub
sidy, which will, no doubt, be
forthcoming, as the time to Austria
liza will be reduced by the Canadian
route by about three days. 1t is
proposed that the steamers shall
land at Brisbane as the nearest
port, and from this point the line
will be connected with the Austria.
