 Jones had been in Europe for three months, and, as he landed at the sta- tion on his return home and proudly grasped his valise that was covered with foreign steamship and railroad labels, he felt that the admiring wei come he would receive from friends and aequaintances would fall little short of triumph. The first friend whom he met said: Hello! Jones, going away?"-''Going away?" re- peated Jones with some disgust. Eve been away. Europe. Three months. Took in London, Paris, Vienna.

Booming tho Skull Cap.

There is rumor to the effect sthat the Turks have alone escaped the discomiorts and terrors of the ''influ- cnxa." This relief from n distemper that has had tho civilized world in it's grip is attributed to the Turkish GUS tom of an always covered head. The fex and turban seem to be protectors in some way from the micrope that sets it's visitors sncexing and then often lands them in the cold grave, If this proves to be trus it will in all probability increase the number in this countey who have adopted the skull cap as preventive of colds. Many speakers invariably in going upon the platform, to avoid the ef- fccts of dTaughts, have worn the skull cap. It is not ornamental, but it is sategard against catarrh, one ot the plagues of this climate. Let us give the skull cap . show. Bos- ton Traveller.

lean public demand that the tariff
on sugar must go. KAMAAINA.
New Haven, April 18th.
The United States and Hawaii.

Mr.. EDITOR: In recent number
of the GAZETTE l see the treaty
question discussed again. 1t ought
to be evident to Hawaiians that
there is no desire on the part of
Americans for annexation. The
policy of non-intervention in the
general affairs of the world, which
has SO long guided our diplomatic
action, will probably have to be
cast aside before very long, when a
systematic effort shall be made to
increase our commerce.
The ardent feeling that our flag
should be seen again on the ocean,
the popularity of our new navy"
the liberal action in Congress as to
its increase and development, all
point towards an expansion of our
intercourse with the rest of the
world.
But our policy will hardly be
that of England or Germany-an-
nexation-but rather will it favor
Independent neutral governments
in the Pacific. We would, | be-
lieve, much prefer that Hawaii,
Samoa and Tonga (for instance)
should be open to all than that
they should become American, Ger
man and British.
There is, of course, feeling that
we have reaped few benefits from
the sugar treaty. but one authority
thinks it would have paid US to
have presented Hawaii with such a
sum as might have been collected
as duty at Honolulu on our eX-
ports and then to have taxed the
Hawaiian sugar.
1t may be added in closing that
DR.. II. NJ Coan of this city, has on
several occasions during the past
year addressed New York audi
ences on the subject of the islands.
His lantern-slides are very fine. One
or two young men who have been
to the islands, have also spoken to
smaller audiences here, and have
done something, trust, to remove
the idea that the islands are sort
of semi barbarous land, which some
people still think.
Respectfully yours,
ANDoVER.

The Saloon.

Mr.. EDITOR: 1t is perhaps not
very strange though grievous,
that here among US there are so
many, even prominent persons,
who are apparently little concerned
toward the staying of the saloon
power. And why is this SO? Not
because these same persons do not
see and know the evil results, that
is, the dissipation and debauchery,
the want and woe that eminate
from this source, but rather we
must believe. because these sights
have become so common that they
are looked upon almost as mat
ter of course.
But after all let US not be de
ceived, for crimes and wrong
doings are not worked with i'm
punity Retribution will surely
follow in their path.
Knowing this, then, let us we'll
beware that the tares sown by our
neighbors do not invade our own
fields and some day grievously
touch our own households. 1t
needs but little insight into mat
tiers here to see and know that the
saloon business will, and Is, stead
lily and rapidly undermining our
Institutions, sapping the little life
blood from the nation and bringing
it to everlasting reproach and
shame.
All influences so far brought to
bear to check and diminish this
terrible evil and it's far-reaching
consequences, by preaching, pray
ing, and other sorts of moral sua-
sion do here not alone meet the
case.
To redeem these drinking people
and specially the unfortunate ma
tive who is now almost ever ready
to sell his birthright for a bottle of
strong drink, and to bring them
once more back into truth and
righteousness, or at least-if no
better-into common decency, for
this, nothing short of complete
wiping out of the saloons will
answer and save.
So then will our people, of whom
l know, there are as yet a portion
moved by sense of sympathy and
fellow feeling, and foremost fathers
and mothers with blooming chill
dren hoping to give them up for
their good, band together and
by proper means, make a
determined effort to wipe out this
damnable scourge-the saloon
from the land and so rescue them
selves with their beloved ones from
out the jaw Of this cruel monster of
iniquity and vice.
And no less as a nation and
people will we not try to make
morals and virtue our price, so we
may stand. As a national question
this subject is surely grave enough,
else such eminent bodies as the
Masonic fraternity of four different
States of our American Union
would not have adopted certain
resolutions pertaining to the liquor
traffic. l will not now mention
them.
The question is, will we break

zinc sugar rarifr Must Co."

NJ. EDITOR: In the GAZETTE of
March 18th can American" sheds
Light on the question of protection,
sugar duties, etc" None of the
positions he taxes in that article
ere entirely impregnable. The rea-
son he gives for the high duty on
sugar does not happen t. be the
true one. The duty of &c. or more
per 10, equivalent to 20 to so per
cent. advaIorem, is the only real
war tax on any necessity Of life
that we are burdened with at this
tine. and that ought to follow the
oath made by other tariff reduc-
IONS IN the last twenty years.
First. because it was a war tax,
pure and simple. Secondly, because
i has totally failed to stimulate the
sugar produc. Oh in this country.
1revious to Ioj2, the crop of Louis
lana alone was as high as 459, 900
hh1s. IN a year. In 1889, or '88
possibly. Ex-Governor Yarmouth
savs the crop was the largest for
many years and at the highest
estimate was only 40 600 hhds.
The prophecy of great things
from @beets and sorghum is a
chestnut, and the late Mr.. Torbert
used to predict the speedy failure
Of American market for Island
sugar from the rapid rise of the
beet industry. That was thirty
wears ago, and the fulfllment is as
remote TO the thoughtful mind as it
was then. This is not sugar
growing country and nearly thirty
wears Of a war tariff have failed to
develop il to serious proportions,
and in fact We scarcely grow enough
70 supply the annual increase in
our consumption, certainly not
enough to affect the price of sugar
ID the markets of the world.
The reasons why the duty"
ought to be abolished" are num-
yerous. 1t is prime necessity of
he poor IS well as the rich, and
4. ought not to be taxed without
urgent reason. The only ''sweeten
ing" which this country can grow
j. GLUCOSE" and that ought to be
faxed TO death or driven to the
wall by foreign cane sugar. We
can only produce cheap sugar here
or in Louisiana with cheap labor.
II we had your magnificent climate
even with our smaller yield, we
could held our own, with lands far
removed from our markets. Ordi
narilv cheap sugar production and
cheap labor go together as the ex-
perienee of the pioneer planters in
Hawaii proved conclusively:
If there is any general public be-
lief that free sugar" would be no
cheaper than taxed sugar why do
the PARTIES interested in trying to
boom the puny sugar interest OF
Louisiana, kansas, California, etc,
fight SO earnestly to retain 1t for
protection?
The true policy of protection in
this country is to tax foreign pro-
ductions that come in competition
with our own till the industries are
able &c care for themselves; but
when an industry under thirty
years Of higa tariff falls off seventy
per cent, and shows no sign Of re-
operation except N the fatulent
