upon the dismissal as a ruse to
freeze him out Of his share. Since

CORRESPONDENCE.

Mr.. EDITOR: Respect for law
and order must and does 90 hand
in hand with respect for the men
whose duty it is to enforce law. In
our district it has come to the
point where we must either lose
respect for the law or have a new
set of men, with one or two excep-
tons, to administer it-for law and
justice with US is farce. Not long
since two men lived in this district
who are not here now. No less than
three crimes of the felony order
can be traced to their door, the last
the most diabolical of all-criminal
assault on a woman non compos
mentis. This passed some days as
a joke, the parties making no de-
NAL, but rather gloating over it to
their intimates. The police went
through the form of an investiga-
ton, and there the matter dropped
for some reason or other, and wit
nesses who were very talkative be-
fore suddenly became dumb as
oysters. At this time the ringlead-
ers concluded that Africa was the
most healthful place in the world,
and emigrated. About the time
the Fourth District Court was to
meet the other party concluded
that Africa was healthy, but, as he
was in a hurry to get away from
Hawaii, he first left for California,
and will sail from there to Cape
Town-and perhaps pass again
right through Honolulu. After the
police were sure that both were out
of reach, the investigation was
again opened and much new evil
dence must have been found, for it
is said that the Sheriff of Hawaii
caused warrants to be issued, and
"was going to raise merry HI"
His report to the Marshal would
make interesting reading. Ger
tainly the report of public SER
want is not private matter, and
there are those who believe this
report is a whitewash of the whole
affair. If there was enough evil
dence on which to base a warrant
of arrest, there is certainly enough
to base a severe reprimand of those
guilty of standing idle and know
ingly watching criminals leave the
country. When new commissions
are issued in September we hope to
see some men come forward in Ha-
makua who will administer the
law without fear or favor, and in
manner to win respect for the law
and themselves. HAMAKUAITE.

which, with the completion of the
great lochs at the Cascades, will
open up the whole Columbia river
to navigation. The cost will be
about 100000. The cost of the
project advocated by Squire will
be about 100000. The condi-
ton of the Treasury is not such as
to encourage large appropriations,
but the Senators from the Pacific
Northwest feel sure of success.

THE TARIFF DISCUSSION.
Attacks on the Hawaiian Recipro-
city Treaty.

The Senate adopted the sugar
schedule of the tariff bill last even
ing after a very stormy debate by
a vote Of SO to 81. After the sugar
trust had scored its victory on the
one-eighth of cent provision of
the schedule there was a deter
mined fight on another phase of
the question, namely, the abroga-
ton of the treaty of reciprocity be-
tween this country and Hawaii, by
which Hawaiian sugar comes into
America free. Mr.. Pettigrew pre-
cipitated the row by offering an
amendment abrogating, repeating
and annulling the treaty of 1884,
which is continued in force by the
pending bill. There was a good
deal of heated discussion over this
proposition, which was finally de-
feated by II to 81. The afirma-
tive votes were cast by Senators
Allen, Blanchard, Gallery, George,
Hansbrough, Hill, Irby, Mander-
son, Mills, Pettigrew and Power.
The main defense of the treaty was
offered by Senators Frye and Nor
gan, and there was considerable
excitement produced by a violent
attack upon the treaty upon the
part of Mr.. Mills, who character
lied President Dole as a robber
and a tool of the United States
marines"
Senator Morgan defended Mr..
Dole with emphasis, and charac-
terized him as San honorable and,
[ believe, trustworthy man. He
is a gentleman, and not only a gen.
tleman, but a man of extraordi-
nary ability, great courage and
beauty of character"
Mr.. Pettigrew, after the defeat of
this first amendment, offered an
other, striking out the proviso in
the bill which declares that moth
ing shall be construed to abrogate
the Hawaiian commercial recipro-
city treaty of 1875. This was also
lost-12 to 81. The affirmative votes
were cast by Senators Aldrich,
Allen, Blanchard, Gallery, Cullom,
George, Hansbrough, Irby, Man
derson, Mills, Pettigrew and Power.

A Bankers Trick.

Once upon a time, when Dumas, the
noted French author, was short Of cash,
he wrote to a certain millionaire ask
ing for the loan Of some money for a
few months. The letter was an ex-
tremely characteristic one, and ended
with little rondeau, half jest, half seri-
ousress. Indeed, it was such clever
production that the banker sagely con-
cluded that the author was not to be
trusted with money, and promptly and
CURLY declined to make the proposed
investment. at dinner that night sew
eral Of the bankers gueets happened to
be discussing a recent sale Of auto
graphs, and mentioned the almost
