FREE SUGAR.

The tariff act passed at the last
session Of the Congress needs i'm
portant amendments if it is to be
executed effectively and with GER
tsinty. in addition to such nee
cessary amendments as will not
change rates of duty. and l am
still very decidedly in favor of
putting coal and iron upon the
free list. So far as the sugar
schedule is Concerned, L would
be glad under existing aggrava-
tons to see every particle OF diff
ferential duty in favor of refined
sugar stricken ont of our tariff
law. If with all the favor now
accorded the sugar refining in
terest N our tariff laws it still
languishes to the extent of clos
ing refneries and putting thou
sands Of workmen out of employ
ment 1t would seem TO present
hopeless case nor reasonable leg
islative aid. Whatever else is
done or ommitted, | earnestly re
peat here my recommendation |
have made in another portion of
this communication that the adj
dItional duty of one tenth of a
cent per pound laid upon sugar
imported from countries paying
bounty on its export be abrogat-
ed. 1t seems to me that exceed
ingly important considerations
point to the propriety of this
amendment.
With the advent of a new tariff
policy, not only calculated to re-
lieye the consumers of our land
in the cost of their daily life, but
to invite better Development of
American thrift and create for US
closer and more profitable COM
mercial relations with the rest of
the world, it follows as logical
and imperative necessity that we
should at once remove the chief
if not the only obstacle which
has so long prevented our parti-
cipation in the foreign carrying
trade of the sea.

From the War.

New York, Dec. Japan has
augmented her navy by the pur-
chase of the crack Chilean cruiser
Esmeralda. The deal was con-
summated here within the last
few days. Chill first sold the
ship to Ecuador, and the latter to
Japan. A report was given out
that China had bought the ship
to avert suspicion until the
cruiser was out of danger from
being apprehended on the high
seas. The vessel is now on the
way to Japan by the way of
Tahiti. The purchase price is
over 81 900. 600 in gold cash.
The sale violates no neutrality
law, as Chill has no treaty with
China or Japan. and moreover
her sale was to Ecuador, also
without a treaty with the bell
igerents.
Washington, Dec 1-Secretary
Gresham makes the statement
that the reports that the United
States Minister DENLY had cabled
from China that Chaos reigns
ut Pekin; the American legation
is in danger and needs protec-
ton" are wholly unwarranted
and untrue. Mr.. Gresham says
no such report or anything akin
has been received by cable, mail
or otherwise.
Hiroshima, Nov. 2S.-News has
been received of battle in the
vicinity of Molten Lien. The
Japanese are said to have lost
forty, killed and wounded. The
Chinese loss is supposed to be
immense.

Congress, although very lengthy
document does not contain much
of Importance. Hawaii is men
toned in very cool manner and
the provisional government re
ferred to as a provisional AR
rangement. I" His reference to
Samoa is of interest to us in that
he deuounces the participation
Of the United States in establish
ing a government against the
wishes of the natives, an action
in defiance of the conservative
teachings and warnings of the
wise men who laid the founda-
tons of our free institutions.
The president should have stuck
to that policy in regard to Ha-
wall.

THE OLD FAKE.
The Small Farms Again

1t is stated, that Mr.. Dole is
preparing a new homestead law,
which will be passed at an extra
session of the Legislature, and
which has for its Immediate OBJ
ject the establishing OF small
farms. We have fully discussed
the possibilities or rather I'M
possibilities of the small farm
business, which seems to be the
hobby Of the missionary party
theoretically at least, and 1t Is
unnecessary at present to discuss
the subject. We only wish to
point out the undeniable fact, that
the very men, who preach small
farms are doing all in their power
to,create large estates by consolid-
tin. different plantations. Only
q few days ago, three plantations
on Maui, were joined together
making another big sugar estate
and placing the most fertile and
best populated part of Maui IN
the hands of one landlord. Ii
the small plantations find 1t to
their disadvantage to do business
independently as does the small
rancher what show will the small
farmer have, who has no facilities
of transportation or markets The
tendency to form these big sugar
estates, is most disastrous.
Where formerly large number OF
skilled labor was employed IN
mills and offices there will after
such consolidation only be room
or demand for ordinary field
labor, and that will consist solely
of Asiatics and Portuguese. The
planters not alone grind their
sugar, but they grind free labor
into the ground, and they sacri'
fee all in the interest of high
dividends. The much blowing
about small settlers and farmers
is simply wind. In the course
of events the stockholders in the
big sugar estates will leave the
country which will gradually sink
down to an Asiatic country with
n few Americans or Europeans
to boss" the concern in the in
terest of the absent landlords.
Let our planters start the exam
pie and establish the small farms
as experiments. When it then is
seen. that there is future for
white settlers then it is time to
boom the country pass homestead
laws and invite immigration of
agriculturists. With the aban
donment of the small plantations
and with the absolute uncertainty
in regard TO the eventual prosper
ity of small farms. it is absurd if
nothing worse to try to induce
people coming here and wasting
their savings and life. 1t is
policy, which tastes very much
of fraud and which no decent
government should advance.

THE EZETA INCIDENT.

The government of Salvador
having been oyerthrown by an
abrupt popular outbreak, certain of
its military and civil officers, while
holly pursued by Infatuated in
surgents, sought refuge on board
the United States warship Ben
nington, then lying in South
American port. Although the
practice of asylum is not favor :
able to this government, yet in
view of the imminent peril which
threatened the fugitives, and sole
ly from considerations of human
ity, they were afforded shelter
by our naval commander, and
when afterward demanded under
our treaty of extradition with Sal
yador for trial on charges of MUIR
der, arson and robbery, I.direct-
ed that such of them as had not
voluntarily left the ship be con
veyed to one of our nearest ports,
where a bearing could be had
before a judicial officer, incompli
ance with the terms of the treaty.
On their arrival at San Francisco
such proceeding was promptly
instituted before the United State
District Judge, who held that
acts constituting the alleged of
lenses were political and dis
charged all the accused except
one Cienfuegos, who was held for
an attempt to murder. There
upon Il was constrained to direct
his release, for the reason that an
attempt to murder was not one of
the crimes charged against him,
and upon which his surrender to
the Salvadoran authorities had
been demanded.

Ii We are to Judge the popu-
larity of an article by the number
in actual use Haviland China
stands on the crest of a popular
wave. The reason for it is the
low price at which it is sold. In
the United States, where the peo-
pie are "Haviland Mad the
price is thirty per cent higher
than 1t is here owing to the
tariff on this ware being so much
greater between France and the
United States than with Hawaii.
We have sold thousands of pieces
here and have never had anyone
complain of being tired of it.
Here's something about the de-
coratiols on Haviland China that
never wearies the eye. We have
some new colors that may please
you if you want to make up a set
for a single course.
An entire new stock of Refri-
gerators and Ice Boxes built on

these is large enough to hold
meats and provisions for a large
family. One compartment with
glass shelf is made for Butter and
Cream exclusively. The say
you can put onions in the same
compartment without the butter
being affected, the ventilation is
SO perfectly arranged. Our lowest
priced articles in this line are per-
feet in their Ice saving qualities.
Some very choice pieces of Cut
Glass will attract your attention
because of the price We've
aimed to get them at cost within
reach of the masses. Olive dishes,
Creamers Mufiiniers, Cruets
Flower Stands, etc. None of them
high priced and nothing but what
is useful.
The styles of articles in solid
Sllverware are So varied that it is
difficult to keep track of them.-

PROGRESS OF JAPAN.

Apart from the war in which

attracts Increasing attention in
this country by her evident de-
sire to cultivate more liberal in
tercourse with us and to seek our
kindly aid in furtherance of her
laudable desire for complete
autonomy in her domestic affairs
and full equality in the family of
nations. The japanese Empire
of today is no longer the Japan
of the past, and our relations with
this progressive nation should
not be less broad and liberal than
those with other powers.
