A Samnla Casa

The protective journals are constantly
publishing statements that this or that
manufacturing industry has been COM
PEELED to cease operations because the
Wilson tariff bill has had the effect of
running its business. They make these
statements with the hope Of creating a
public sentiment sufficiently strong TO
prevent the passage OF the bill. As a
matter Of fact the bill cannot have had
much, if any, effect upon the manufactur-
ing industries, because there IS no proba-
bility that the it will be passed for sew
eral months. And if it should be passed
it would not ruin any industry.
few weeks ago Mr.. c. B. Warrand,
seeing in the protection papers a state
ment that the Gorham mill at Lockport,
N. Y, which handles fibres of one kind
and another was about to close down,
wrote to the management Of the mill
for information as TO whether any
of its machinery was for sale. Mr..
Warrand's idea was that if fibre ,machin-
cry could be obtained at very low price
plant for manufacturing certain
articles out of palmetto fibre might

was very much surprised at receiving an
answer from Jesse Peterson, the presi-
dent and general manager of the Gorham
mill, to the effect that he had no
machinery TO sell Mr. Peterson said {:
tile sensational article printed in the
newspapers in regard to our closing up
and dismantling the Gorham mill on &C
count of the tariff was a hoax. There
was nothing in it. We may close up the
mill as usual at this time of theyear for a
short time. We are fully protected by a
duty of 30 per cent? in the proposed Wilson
bill. We have no machinery for SALE and
have no desire to curtail in any way a
very prosperous business"
1t is safe to say that nearly, if not all
of the statements that factories are being
closed because they could not be operated
if the Wilson bill should become a law
have no foundation in fact. The pro-
lection papers are very short sighted if
they think they can accomplish anything
for their side of the issue by publishing
false statements. They ought to know
that such statements are certain to be
contradicted, and that the contradiction
would do the protection cause more harm
than the false statement could do it
good.
AS matter of fact, very few factories
are shutting down." while many that
closed on account of the business depres-
sion are resuming operations The

Hawaiians and the slaves.

The arguments employed by the Ha-
waiian annexationists call forth a sting
ing criticism in communication to the
Boston Transcript, signed At. w. H."
He considers the defense attempted by
the annexationists is as weak as their
acts in the islands were bad. They con-
tinually pirate about manifest destiny"
insist that "all parties agree that the pro-
visional rule is the best government the
islands ever had, ;" and declare that the
system of government instituted by the
annexationists is precisely what the
country needs"
Who are the ''all parties" that agree to
the excellence and competence of the pro-
visional government Are they the reg
lstered votersl OF these there were in
the islands, according to the last census,
637 Americans and 9,554 natives and
haf-castes." Does the expression "all
parties" include the 1854, or only the 637?
Most likely the latter, for the natives and
half-castes are allowed no opportunity to
express an opinion that might be adverse
to the powers that be, One of the early
acts of the provisional government was to
silence any who might be dis
posed to adversely criticise it.
A law was passed last January providing
that "any one found talking against the
provisional government, or against the
character of any of the executive or ad-
visory committee" should be punished by
"a fine of S500and Imprisonment for thirty
days" Is it reasonable to suppose the
natives would express themselves freely
in the face of such lawl
Referring to this law of the provisional
government ana drawing a comparison
between the native Hawaiians of the pres.
emit and the slaves in this country OF
thirty years ago, the correspondent says
that the Shareholders were, at least, mot
dealing with Registered voters but with
those who had always been chattels and
have searched Stroud's Slave Laws in
vain for any edict by which even a slave
could be imprisoned thirty days for re.
marking, under his breath, that his mas
ter was a scoundrel."

A correspondent asks when it was that
the encounter on the floor Of the House
between Galusha A. Grow, of Pennsyl-
vania, and L. NJ. Keitt, Of South Carolina,
referred to In the MORNING News a day
or two ago, occurred, and what was the oc
casion OF it. The incident occurred on the
night of Feb 6, 1858. The House was con-
sidering the Kansas message of President
Buchanan and proposition to refer the
message to a select committee was the
pending question. Mr. Grow was filibus-
tering against the reference. The debate
was acrimonious as might be supposed,
and Mr.. Grows remarks were of a char
acter to stir up the ntment of the
southern members. While talking he
made it point to stand on the demo-
cratic side Of the aisle, near Mr.. Keitt's
desk. After bitter remark Mr.. Keitt
said 10 Mr.. Grow that he had better
keep on his side of the house Mr.. Grow
made an angry retort which so incensed
the South Carolinian that he sprang up,
seized the Pennsylvania by the throat
and used him roughly before they were
separated, at the time applying to him
the epithet of ''black republi-
can puppy" AS in the case
of the Sumner-Brooks difficulty,
there are half dozen stories of the
Keitt-Grow affair, and version of it to
hit the political bias of any person can be
secured The above, however, are the
essential details.

Gus Spreckels, son of the sugar king
having beaten his father in business
game of freeze-out, has been taken to the
old mans arms, warmly embraced and
placed at the head of Spreckels & Sons
Hawaiian business. Gus Spreckels some
time ago brought suit against his father
and two brothers for 81, 500, 900 damages,
alleged to have been sustained by him be-
cause of the refusal of Claus Spreckels,
the father, to transfer to him 300 shares
of stock that belonged to him. And so
cleverly did he manage his case that the
shrewd old ex-corner grocer Of Charles
ton was driven into corner from which
there was no escape. old Claus was vio-
lently angry when he found himself
trapped, but when his passion cooled
down, he recognized what clever fellow
his son is, and gave him not only the mil
lions he demanded, but the best place in
the company.

Some of the protected manufacturers
of the Pittsburg district are intensely an
CRY with Mr.. Andrew Carnegie because
he is running all of his steel mills on full
time and taking all of the orders he can
get, when the logic of the situation, ac-
cording to these protected manufacturers,
demands that all of the mills remain idle
and all of the employees starve Mr.. Car
negie's activity has forced other manu-
facturers to start up their mills again,
and thereby discredit their own state
ment that the prospect of tariff legislation
was strangling all industry, and they are
pitching into him right and left, accusing
him of all kinds of bad things in the way
of holding the noses of his employees to
the grindstone and endeavoring to freeze
out his competitors.

rhe south Aeainst New Eneland.

The Boston Journal of Commerce,
recognized in New England as an author
ity upon textile matters, says: ut would
seem to be the part of wisdom for parties
who have capital that they wish to in
vest in new cotton mills in the north to
take well into consideration the danger OF
southern competition before deciding the
class of goods they will organize new
mill TO manufacture. The Journal
would have done a better part by pros
pective investors had it advised them to
put their money into new cotton mills at
the south, where more favorable con-
ditions prevail for the profitable manu-
featuring of any class of cotton goods
than obtain in New England.
The south has heretofore manufactured
only the coarser grades of cotton goods,
leaving the bleaching and the manufact-
uring Of finer goods to New England. But
that is no reason why the same system
should be continued. Indeed, foreign
capital has about reached the conclusion
that the south is the best place in the
world for the manufacture OF any kind
of cotton fabric. This is evidenced by
the presence and conversation of Man
chester, England capitalist, at Charleston
some days ago. He was there, as noted
In the MORNING NEWS at the time, for
the purpose of making Investigations
looking to the establishment there of a
large factory for the manufacture of fine
cotton goods.
The Journal Of Commerce cautions pros
pective investors in northern cotton mills
to take well into consideration the class
of goods they will organize new mill to
manufacture; :" it would be interesting to
know what class of cotton goods can be
more cheaply manufactured in New Eng
land that at the south. 1t cannot be
prints, for the journal itself says that
several southern mills are now being
equipped with machinery for making
print cloth, and predicts that in the near
future 1--WE shall see a large amount Of
our print cloths manufactured in the
south and at better profits than they yield
in New England" Again, the Journal,
which says it is thoroughly conversant
with the mills of the country, states
positively that "the items of cost are de-
cidedly in favor of southern mills" These
things being true, what class of cotton
goods can be manufactured a thousand
miles away from the cotton fields more
cheaply than in the midst of the fieldsl
The journal should have advised all of it's
cotton manufacturing friends in New
England TO pull up stakes and move south.

10 teach them lesson. A ball was ar
ranged, to which not man received an
invitation. Fifty girls put on mems dress

ball, danced with them and then saw
them home again. The girls enjoyed the
affair hugely while it was going and the

terizes the act of the girls dressing in

1t is little odd that no proposition
mas yet been made TO take Corbett and
Mitchell to that ''new Monte Carlo" of
the coast Of Honduras, for their fight.
The government that licensed the lottery
and permitted it to acquire an island for
a gambling resort would hardly interfere
with a prize mill. The island is not far
away, aud is connected with Florida by
steamship. If the fighters and their
hackers really desire TO pull ON the
affair let them go TO Honduras.

Commissioner Lochren says he appoints
ex-confederate surgeons to act as medical
examiners on United States pension boards
whenever he finds them to be the best
qualified physicians offering for the APP
pointments, and he is satisfied they are
quite as favorable to ex-soldiers of the
federal army as any other surgeons. He
has appointed a number of such surgeons,
and will appoint others when it Is for the
good of the service. He cares nothing
for the ill-tempered and vindictive COM
ments Of republican newspapers and po-
liticians, and remarks that whatever ami
mostly remains between the sections lex.
lists on the part of the non-combatants. -
Judge Lochren will find that the old sol
diers of both sides who are not politicians
or demagogues are behind him in the
stand he has taken.
