THE SUGAR SCHEDULE.

The letter written by President
Cleveland to Chairman Wilson Of
the House of Representatives does
not seem to have made him many
friends, either in his own party or
that of the opposition. At the
same time, it seems to have been a
sound statement OF Democratic
doctrine, and if it had been made
at the time Of the Presidents nom
ination it would have won the ap-
plause of his party. The times are
changed.
The only thing in the letter Of
particular interest to Hawaiians
is its utterance upon the sugar
schedule. While the Presidents
observations On this head are a lit
tie indefinite, it is perfectly clear
that his attitude toward sugar is
very different from his attitude
toward coal and iron. To the
Senate amendments, regarding the
two last, he is unalterably opposed,
but he does not object to the duty
on sugar and declares succinctly
that it is legitimate object of tax
alton for purposes of revenue.
The opinion of the President on
this subject is very important be-
cause it throws a good deal of
light on the probable action Of the
House. On the question of Hawaii,
Mr.. Cleveland stood alone against
Congress, his party and the coun-
try. On the question of the tariff,
the odds are the other
way, and the President and House
stand arrayed against the Senate.
The expressions of Mr.. Cleveland
ire indications that the House will |

EVERY good annexationist Will
be sincerely pleased to learn that
Messrs. Widemann and company
have had an interview with Secre-
tary Gresham and President Cleve-
land. They could not go to any
better quarter to get the informa-
ton which they are seeking. The
resolution of their doubts is some
thing which should speedily fol-
low, and which will doubtless con-
tribute greatly to the peace of
mind both of themselves and of
those whom they represent. In
the meantime the Republic pur-
sues and will continue to pursue
its way without reference to the
status of those pure subjective
problems which vex the souls of
Parker, Cummins, ct al.

IT IS an interesting feature of
the war between China and Japan
that it will submit the principles
at the basis of the worlds new ma
vies to a more decisive test than
they have ever before experienced.
With the exception of the civil
wars of Chile and Brazil, the quail
ity of the heavy armament of mod
ern ships has never been tested in
actual practice. The contest be-
tween Japan and China will be the
greatest war since 1877, and the
greatest naval war since the Amer
lean conflict. The navies of China
and Japan contain specimens of
about all the various types of ships
which have been evolved in the
last generation, and a great deal of
light will doubtless be thrown
upon their relative utility.

cases here looks as though it
might be growing serious tC
the fellows whose names grace
the calendar. AS the consti,
tuition does not provide that
natives shall be tried by Ha-
waiians, though it isa custom,
and citizens of that rationale
| ty cannot be procured if a
remedy is needed it may be
found only in an act to be
passed blythe present Advisory
Council.
In some parts of the United
States, New York for instance,
to be eligible to jury duty, a
man must be a citizen of the
United States, a resident of
the district in which he is
called and be the owner either
in his or his wife's name, of
two hundred and fifty dollars
worth of real or personal
property Citizens are Great
ed by law and natives do not
become citizens until the
statutes make them such. In
this instance the taking of the
oath to support the present
government is all that is
necessary. This seems to de-
eide the question whether a
change in the form of govern
ment nullifies the citizenship
of the people" TO become a
citizen now, one must be
politically born again and the
result Of last Mondays mid
wifery was that all but three
of the panel died "a bornin."
The only relief for this state
OF affairs seems to be in
amending the constitution;
men do not become criminals
until they are convicted of the
charges on which they are
tired and until such convic-
ton they are entitled to
certain rights. If they are
not tried within d certain
time they have a good strong
kick which must be recog-
nized by the court. We
cannot see where the taking
of the required oath to support
the government is a guarantee
that the verdict rendered will
be according to the law and
the evidence, the result the
court and attornies should
strive to obtain. The Judi
ciary being considered above
politics it must not be sup
posed that the court would be
a party to increasing the num-
Der of supporters of the
government by any such pecu-
liar methods.

BOUGHT THE BREWERY.
So Says MIR. Smith, who Recently
Returned to San Francisco.

A. y. Smith, of New York, who
returned by the last steamer from
the Hawaiian Islands, reports the
gradual restoration of confidence
under the Provisional Government,
says a late San Francisco Cau.
Mr.. Smith is a business man of
much experience, and visited the
islands with the special purpose OF
feeling the pulse of the people, in
order to discover whether capital
might or might not be safely in
vested there. So confident did he
become CT the stability of the pres
ent form Of government that he
closed negotiations for large bust
ness which his principals will now
carry on.
He states that he found the SEN
timent generally in favor of Ameri-
can annexation, with present con-
fidence in President Dole and his
colleagues. The royalists had not
given up hope, but the hope of the
people as a whole, as well as the
confidence, seemed inclined toward
the ultimate consolidation of their
interests with those of America.
Mr.. Smith bought the franchise
for the only brewery in the islands,
the franchise extending for period
of fifteen years. Some $4,000 will
at once be invested, and this
amount will be increased. At
present $1,000 a year is required
for a license to sell spirituous
liquors in the islands, but malt
liquor license costs $3.50 a year.
The American sentiment of the
islands was especially shown this
year in unusually elaborate cele-
bration Of the Fourth of July.
There were premiums offered for
the best decorated buildings, and as
much as $500 was spent in this
way on one building alone.
Labor was scarce at the time of
Mr.. Smiths visit, and many Portu-
guese were being imported to work
in the sugar fields. In all, the
residents seemed to be settling
down under the conservative rule
of the Provisional Government.

day. Senator Davis of Minnesota cOn-

opposition TO the act Of the presld ent
ia commissioning Mr. Blount to Ha-
wall and clothing him with plenary
powers even % the extent eli control
off the naval forces, without such APP
pointment having been confirmed by
the senate. The manner ia which he
paraded to the senate the spectacle of
the opera boutfe queen clamoring for
her lost throne was too much for the
grave and venerable senate. and the
galleries gave expression to its APP
probation by applause SO hearth
that it required the usual threat of
the presiding officer to clear the
galleries to still the enthusiasm.
Senator Iurpie made an hours
speech that was full of surprises. lit
