but to keep it out of the hands of !
the Democrats. Sugar is good |
thing to begin the reduction on-so
good in fact that Republicans prob
ably hope to be able to make their
tariff revision begin and end with it.
Their monstrously extravagant naval
estimates will do much to help them
out Of their financial difficulties.
The duty on sugar yields the Unlted
States revenue Of over S5O,OOO,Ooo
a year, and if it were wiped out or
even reduced so per cent. there
would be nothing to hinder the rlch
manufacturers of the North from
leading life of quiet, undlstnrDed
by tariffs and rumors Of tariffs for
years to come.
The duty on sugar has strong
enemy in both parties. The Demo
cratic party, as the low tariff party,
is opposed to the high duty on
principle. The Republicans, though
high tariff party, are equally OPP
posed to it, because they are forced
to make reduction somewhere,
and it is easiest to make 1t
on sugar than on anything
else. 1t is easy to see that between
the two the tariff is between the devil
and the deep sea. A reduction OF
from 25 per cent all the way up to a
complete abolition, may be counted
on as one of the certainties Of the
near future. II this sure result is
temporarily postponed, and the
tariff saved it will be the result not
of public sentiment, not of wise
craftsmanship, but of lobbying al
Washington.
If there is any likelihood in the
foregoing forecast, it seems some
what strange that people should be
rushing so eagerly into sugar, start
ing or projecting new plantations or
Hawaii, Oahu, Kauai, when any
year may bring a drop in the price
of the commodity of from twenty tt
forty dollars ton. It seems strange
that capitalists should still poul
their millions into this one channel
and be so unwilling to divert even ;
few scant thousands into some new
enterprise to furnish sustenance ant
opportunity if ever the hour of dis
aster should come. These are tn
days of our prosperity-of pros
perity otherwise unknown in GU
brief history, and they are the day
of golden opportunity, an opportun
ity which may never smile an
beckon so auspiciously again.
Patriotism and self-interest alik
, dictate the use of the present bot
for judicious experiment in new en-
} terprises, and in efforts to put tn
: old on a more satisfactory basis.

The Hawaiian's Discrimination.

Nh. EDITOR: The Hawaiian's
want of discrimination as illustrated
in the late election, reminds us of
the story about a Chinaman.
It has been said that in the early
days of the mission in these Islands,
a Chinaman who had picked up
little English in the course of his
migrations, called upon a missionary
who asked him if he had ever heard
of God and his claims on mankind.
ooh, yes, he replied, worship God,
worship devil, alice same"
When the extreme corruption and
extravaganza in public affairs gave
rise and success to the Reform party
the Hawaiians turned to and gave
it such hearty endorsement at the
polls, that it seemed as if, after ell
his previous indifference and COM
plicity in bringing about this deplor-
able state of affairs through selling
| his vote for cash or liquor, he did
have at the bottom of his heart a
sense Of decency and was ready to
aid in wiping out corruption if only
some one would take the lead.
The result was the return of a
lot of good men to the Legislature,
whose work in conjunction with a
good Reform government, has en-
tirely changed the aspect of affairs
in these Islands, and gwen us light
and cheer in place of darkness and
dependency. Now rise two discon-
tented spirits whose excuse for idle
ness and its inevitable fruitage in
mischief is, that the government has
failed to furnish them with employ
ment; whereas the real reasons
according to all accounts were,
that they were unwilling to accept
any subordinate position offered
them, incapable of filling such as
they did accept, and with all their
boosted claims to superiority in wis
dom and skill were too lazy or in
competent to set up business fo1
themselves.
These men joined with others whose
records are black and well known
denounce all the good that has beer
done by the Reform Government as
a mere deception. a fraud and 6
snare, and although melting others
to race hatred, perjury and crue
murder, which proves them to bt
anything but fit leaders for a people
call upon the public for support O.
themselves as representatives anc
sole possessors of true knowledge
and patriotism. And 10 !! Like lo
Of unreasoning sheep, the Hawaiian
again turns to and elects the teacher
of perjury and some of the very mel
whose corruption led to the Reform
movement which they so substan
TALLY endorsed but two years pre-
viously.
"Oh, yes, worship God, worship
devil alice same"

to discriminate between good ant
evil be trusted with the franchise t.

The Bulletins Maui Correspondents.
Mr.. EDITOR: The ''three cornered
star" seems to have hit the CORES
pondents Of the Bulletin pretty hard,
Judging by the numerous answers.
Naval eha's answer needs no reply,
the writer is too we'll known to be
taken any notice off. Echo's answer
is more amusing than anything else,
and he deserves the name he has
given himself He is just an echo,
aud no more, repeating like the echo
everything he hears, even if it IS
yarn from mail carrier. That yarn
was spun for his special benefit, and
like true echo, he repeated it. The
Echo can do nothing else-what IL
shouted is repeated, no more and nc
less. Empty is and echo-withou'
thoughts-being satisfied by being
shouted to, even if it is only poor
mail carrier-longing for no more
than the yarns told him. =.

THE SUGAR QUESTION.

The bitter war between the Sugar
Trust and the Courts is still going
on with results more and more un-
favorable for the Trust The Amer
lean Refinery is closed and in the
hands of receiver, and Claus
Spreckels at present seems to be
having things all his own way.
Affairs are threatening at Wash
iDgton. 1t is said that the Ways
and Means Committee of the House
IS bent on reducing the revenue by
twenty millions and that they wish
to do it by taking the entire duty on
sugar. This is contrary to the holy
Republican principle of protection
to the sacred rights of rich manufac
turers, and in Difference to these
rights, the committee is disposed to
be contented with reduction for
the present of twenty per cent.
1t is utterly impossible to say what
the outcome will be. House com
mittees are uncertain affairs-liable
to all kinds OF outside pressure and
very apt to yield to it. There is no
doubt that a strong fight for the
tariff will be made before the COM
mittee. On the other hand, it
should not be forgotten that the
principle gamers by the tariff are
Democrats, and this is circum-
stance sure to weigh heavily with a
committee the majority of whom are
Republicans.
One thing is sure. Soon or late
the reduction in the tariff is sure to
come. In spite of the result of the
recent election there is no doubt that
a majority of the people generally
demand it, and the Republican
leaders themselves admit that some
tariff revision is necessity. The
ultimate anxiety of the Republicans
is not to prevent revision altogether,

TEMPORAL POWER
The Threatened PRONUNCIATION
BY His Holiness, the Pope,
Being Generally Discussed BY
European Catholics.

The Church Has Been Deprived Of This
Power Since. the Advent Of Emperor
Emanuel Into Rome In 1s7O-strength
of the Church Party in the Italian Par
lament Slowly Increasing.
LONDON, May 16-The threatened
PRONUNCIATION by the pope Of the dogma
that the temporal power Of the pontif,
of which the church was deprived by
the advent of Victor Emanuel into Rome
in 1870, is essential to the complete
majesty Of the viesgeTent of Christ ON
earth, is the theme of general discussion
in Catholic circles on the continent.
The decision Of sixty-siK of the 100
bishops whose views Of the matter were
solicited by the pope, that the present
time is opportune for the declaration OF
this principle evinces positive swerv-
ing Of popular opinion, for it is not to be
presumed that these prelates have all, or
even considerable minority of them,
gone contrary to the known tendencies
Of their flocks.
The fact that the Italian bishops OPP
posed the PRONUNCIATION of the dogma Is
not to be taken as evidence OF their be-
lief that the occupant of the chair Of st.
Peter should be temporal as well as
spiritual sovereign. The cler-
gy of Italy are placed in a
position of such peculiar delicacy
with regard to expressions of opinion ON
matters touching the relations of the
church and the state that no positive
declaration of approval could be expect
ed from them, while the laity have long
since fallen into state of apathy as re-
CARDS both pope and king, owing to the
unchanging condition of the antagonism
between the Vatican and the Quirinal,
which the lapse Of twenty years has not
suficed to mollify, or even change in
! character.
The church party in the Italian par
Lament is slowly increasing in strength,
and to this extent it may be said that
the popular feeling in favor Of the re-
storation Of the papal kingdom has
grown, but it must not be assumed that
because the people are not enthusiastic
ally on the side of the church, that they
are earnestly supporting the position
of the state.
They have simply lost all interest in
the matter because of the quiescence OF
the two opposing forces, and neither one
in the present condition Of things can
claim the approval Of the populace In
its course. Therefore, nothing short OF
overt hositilities between the Vatican
and the government can arouse the peo
pie of Italy to active interest in the
question whether the pope shall also bt
king, or whether he shall remain as ht
is--a virtual prisoner in the largest pal
ace in the world
The greatest number of favorable re
plies to the pope's circular, from any on'
country, came, as might be supposed
from Austria, where the sentiment il
favor of the temporal sovereignty Of tn
church is strong and undisguised among
the people, and Portugal furnished tn,
next highest, the rest being divided
about equally among Germany, Francs
and Spain.

Immigrant Mormon Converts
Who Seek Our Shores.
WIN the Present Contract Labor
Law Do 1t?

This Is Question which the United
states Immigration oficers are just
Now studying-SHormon Agents in En-
rope Have Arranged to Send several
Hundred Converts This Summer.
New YoRK, May l0.--One hundred
and forty converts to Mormonisin ar
rived here on the steamer Wyoming
from Liverpool, and the appearance Of
the party brought before the United
States immigration officers the question
as to whether the Mormon problem
could be solved by prohibiting this class
of people from landing, on the grounds
that they are contract laborers.
But the intention of the government
officials Is TO investigate this new aspect
of Mormonism as thoroughly as they
can, which will be in line with the pro-
gressive policy adopted by Secretary
Window in the governments discharge
Of the immigration business. 1t Is be-
lieved that it can be proven that the con-
verts are brought here under contract to
work for Mormon elders. Superintend-
ent Weber is now studying the contract
labor law, to see whether the law can be
applied to Mormons. If he is persuaded
that it can be, he will enforce It,
The Mormons were released under
surveillance. They can be examined
again any time within year after their
landing, and 1t is probable that some Of
their numbers will figure In the test
case. The people are Swedes and Danes.
They were in charge Of Adolph Ander-
son and three other elders. Anderson
was sharp enough to say that his flock
came here to join friends in Utah, who
would give them work, But inland in
spectors can readily ascertain whether
this kind of testimony, which is always
given by the elders, Is true.
II Is known that Mormon agents IN
Europe have already arranged to send
/ 200 converts to this country this sum
mer, SO that the government will have
ample opportunity to find whether these
immigrants come under the contract
labor law. II is argued that IL they do
the Mormon church will suffer greatly,
If not die out, because it depends on for
eign material for fresh blood
Ex- United States Senator Platt said
he thought that this plan for exterm-
mating Mormonism was one OF the best
measures proposed under the present
administration for the benefit Of the
| country.
