If anything were needed to prove that
protection as exemplifed by recent con
gressional legislation is a stuPendous
fraud, it is the closing Of the Havemey-
er sugar works. and the throwing Of
$4,000 men out of employment Almost
the only industry that did profit by the
recent tariff bill, was the sugar refining
industry. The sugar trust was the chief
beneficiary of the bill; SO much so, that
it was confidently alleged, and we'll nigh
proven that Legislators had been
"bOodled" by the sugar trust
The Havemeyer's and Spreckle's be-
ing SO well fixed by the tariff bill. were
expected to at least allow little of their
good fortune TO reach their en-
pIoyes; the workmen in the sugar
refneries at least were to see the ad-
vantages Of protection, if no other class
Of wOrkmen were They would benefit
by the blessed legislation, even if coal
miners and iron workers starved.
But what an awakening il this dis
charge Of $4,000 Of them Winter is
coming on. The prospect for them is a
gloomy one. What do you suppose, they
think Of the advantages of protectong
On the other hand, is it because Of
poor business that the sugar trust closes
its works or is it because sugar is too cheap
to suit the sugar monopolists. and
stoppage OF the factories is necessary to
force up the price,
The sugar trust has never shown itself
to be honest before, and it is just as dis
honest now as 1t ever was. In this in
stance it is clear that protection protects
the monopolist but it doesn't protect the
$4,000 workmen.

SENATOR JOIN SHERMAN in recent
interview expressed the opinion that
President Cleveland and his predecessor
Benjamin Harrison, had meddled too
much with the affairs of the gov ernment
Senator Sherman's position seems to be
that the Intention Of the constitution was
that the president should be more Of q
figure head than anything else, that the
nature Of the Office is social, outlooking,
assuring and ceremonial" as he ex-
presses il. Whether Or not this was the
intention Of the fathers il would doubt
less be much better for the country If
the president could be made to see the
matter in the same light and not get ia a
fight with the congress.

TIE Kansas City Gazette, referring to
Chief Lindsey's plan Of reforming po-

"Chief Of Police Lindsey Of Topeka
thinks the mayor should be a member Of
the metropolitan police board. a gen
tleman in this city who has had consiJ-
cradle experience in the line OF police
work thinks the president Of the council
should be- ex-otflcio instead Of the mayor
for two reasons. First, the president of
the council would have no political in
huence because no one would know who
he might be, aud there would be no OPP
portunity for him to scheme IN his own
interest, while there would be with the
mayor, and second, this would give the
city council direct voice IN police mat

The news of the Merrimac's arrival in
Hampton roads and of her first days fight
before she met the Monitor reached Wash
ington on Sunday afternoon. The tele
gram was brief but explicit. The ironclad
was in complete control of the roads. Mes
sengers were hastily dispatched. summon
ing the chiefs of bureaus to a council at
the navy department. One of these mes
sengers, sent in search of Commodore
Smith, found that officer on his way home
from church, and he knew that the com
modore's only son was first lieutenant Of
the ill fated Congress.
Commodore" said the man, there is
bad news from Hampton Roads The Mer-
rimac has come down from Norfolk, the
Minnesota and Roanoke are disabled, the
! Cumberland sunk, and the Congress Is on
| fire and has surrendered.
Surrendered The Congress has hauled
down her colors3" repeated the commodore,
and as the messenger confirmed his words,
"Then my son Joe is dead" said the com
modore simply-and that was all.
There have been long winded epitaphs,
many of them, but not every father could
be so sure of his sons character as to honor
his memory before receiving the news OF
his death with such a tribute as that.

Accommodations.
The steamer Hawaii will sail at 5
O'Clock Wednesday afternoon for her
usual ports on Hawaii. Captain Fitz-
gerald will again go on her as master.
The Hawaii has been greatly improved
since last she left this port. She has
been given thorough overhauling.
From stem to stern she has been given
a cleaning and is painted up as neat and
trim as yacht. Even her masts and
smokestack shine as though they were
new.
The greatest improvement is on deck,
A new quarterback, with substantial
awning, has been put in. This is for the
benefit OF passengers. That trade will
be catered to in future. The owners Of
the vessel are determined to make the
Hawaii as comfortable for passengers as
any small steamer in the island fleet
Her passenger accommodations are o.
course small, but are neat and as clear
as a model.

Negotiations to this end have been goint
on but nothing of definithe nature
has been accomplished. The Dais,
Kimball was purchased by the Wilder
Steamship Company this morning. Sh'
will be given an overhauling, after
which she will enter the island trade

NEW OFFICERS CHOSEN.
MEN WHO WILL STEER THE
AMERICAN LEAGUE.
Murray Goes In as President For An
other Term Several New Names
Enrolled.

There was quite a large and enthusi-
astic meeting of the American League
at the hall on Nuuanu street Monday
evening. 1t was called specially for the
election of officers. A part of the
nomination had been made at the last
meeting, when the matter was left over.
1t was the semi-annual election.
Some changes were made in the list of
nominations published last week. Sew
eral names were added to the list and a
few dropped out Of the row. The con-
test was most interesting in the election
of an Executive Committee. There
were nine nominations to the five
offices. Speeches were made, canvass
ing done and regular republican political
election systems introduced.
After the ballots had been counted
the following were declared elected
officers of the League for the next six
months:
President, 7. B. Murray.
First Vice President, John n.
Wright.
Second Vice President, A. w.
Clarke.
Recording Secretary, Thee. z. Sew.
erin.
Financial Secretary, Dan Lyons.
Treasurer, Chas. f. Murray.
Executive Committee, j. j. Sullivan,
w. l.. Easton, Chas. Hawkins, Il. |.
Green, Ed. Towse.
After the election several ringing
speeches were made. All were endorse.
ments of the principles OF the American
League and the strongest political power
in the land today. Loyalty to the Re-
public and annexation was the doctrine
of every speaker and every person in the
hall. The assembly was as solid as d
stone upon the platform, and received
the patriotic utterances OF the new Off.
Gals with applause.
Mr.. T. B. Murray in short address
referred to the future of the League
He hoped the organization would con
tinue its work of Installing American
IDEAS and principles into the community
until, when annexation comes, THU
country will be able to assume Its plac,
creditably among the States. The meet
ing was very enthusiastic one anC
must have resulted in great good to tn,
League and the party.
With the business of the evening
nine new members were received int
the League and fourteen proposal
accepted by ballot. The meeting ad
journed shortly after 10 o'clock.

The Millionaire a Worker.

The difficulties Of my boyhood are still
fresh in my mind and still strangely infiu-
ence my views of life. Those early years
and they were years of struggle-in which
bumped against human nature and studied
it, did more to strengthen me in mind and
character than anything else that has come
In my life since.
/ consider it one of the most fortunate
things to be born poor. The argument that
the poor young man has not an equal chance
with the rich young man is profoundly
silly. In this age of development, rapidity
of change and national prosperity the rise
of young man depends entirely upon his
| individual and faithful effort. We have a
distinctly American disease-iti is American
push. 1t is contagious, and the sooner a
young man is seized by it the sooner will
he succeed.
1t is a mistake to suppose that million
aires do not work. Probably the greatest
and saddest misunderstanding between the
rich man and the poor is that the rich man
does not know how much the poor man
suffers, and the poor man does not know
how hard the rich man works.

Orlando b. Potter to Demorest's Magazine

THE PAINE CRUELTY CASE.
Will Likely BE Thrown Out for Want of
Prosecution.

VIII Likely BE Thrown Out for Want of
Prosecution.
The case against w. H. Paine, Super
intendent of the Hawaiian Tramways
Company, may turn out little more
amusing than was at first anticipated.
The charge against Mr.. Paine is
cruelty to animals. The only witnesses
are four ladies', who, by the way, made
the charge against Mr.. Paine. One OF
these is the wife of prominent attor-
ney, and the other three are young
ladies, sisters.
1t seems that the ladies took pity on a
certain brown tram-car horse, which
they conceived to be ill-treated, and
reported the matter to Humane Agent
Greene.
Mr.. Greene doubted the merits of the
case and suggested that Mr.. w. o.
Smith be consulted. The result was
that Mr.. Paine has been summoned tc
appear tomorrow to answer to the
charge of cruelty. This will necessitate
the appearance Of the four ladies in
court as witnesses. They had not
thought of that Now they are greatly
put out. The probabilities are that no
prosegni will he entered in the cas-,
against Mr.. Paine, after which Mr.
Greene will be called in to prosecute
cases of cruelty. In the meantime it il
hard to tell who should claim the laugh

An after dinner speech should never
be wholly facetious, unless the speaker
Is very facetious indeed and cuts his
speech short. 1t should not be frivolous
even when hespeaker is full of frivolity
1t must not under any circumstances be
silly, though there be people who laugh
at Stiffness. 1t must not be too long
winded, or highly exciting, or overheavy
or ultra argumentative, or entirely sta
tistical, or in the least rancorous. An
after dinner speech should be appropriate
to the occasion and delivered on time
It may contain some essential thoughts,
some strokes of humor, some scraps Of
knowledge, some bits of fancy, some
sound reasons, some good whims, some
green dressing and little fat.
Every ablebodied man of New York is
apt to be an after dinner speaker some
time in his life. 1t is possible that as
many as 5000 after dinner speeches have
been made here during one winter sea
son. One man has record of 10 of them
for single week, three of them for one
evening.
We have heard some tiptop after din
ner speeches, few. We have heard
others chat were wearisome, inappropri
ate, exasperating. enfeebling or foolish
We have heard several which were rant
or drivel.
