We are in receipt of a request from the
Alameda Sugar Company, OF San Fran
cisco, asking us to circulate petition for
the abrogation Of the recipi ocity treaty
whereby sugar from the Hawaiian islands
is admitted free We never were greatly
in favor of the reciprocity features of rev.
enue laws and treaties, this one in par
ticular,-t are always detrimental to
the agricultural classes. There never
was any reason for this treaty with the
Sandwich islands except that Spreckles
and other Americans interested in the
sugar plantations there wanted to thus
bring the coolie labor OF the islands into
direct competition with our labor, and
they have done it these many years, all
under the guise OF protection. But con-
ditions have changed; the control of the
sugar business on the islands has passed
out of the hands OF Spreckles, ct al, and,
as the petition referred to recites, "the
present intention OF the Island planters is
to establish refineries in San Francisco. "
All, there is the rub, they are going to
establish refineries to compete with those
of the sugar trust. No, we can't comply
with the request, even though it is made
IN the name of protection to the beet
sugar interests. The sugar trusts con-
version to the beet sugar cause is most toe
sudden.

A baltimore Carriers stamp.

DR.. John Morris Of this city has in
his possession a stamp which was issued
by the carriers Of Baltimore antecedent
to the Inauguration Of the free delivery
system. DR.. Norris was postmaster Of
Baltimore from 1857 to 1861, and it
was during his administration that the
carriers stamp was employed here. 1t
is cent stamp.
The stamp was issued by the carriers
for their own convenience. The system
obtaining at that time, by which they
collected the cost of postage from patrons
Of the postal service to whom letters
were delivered, was troublesome to the
carriers, and in order to save themselves
the inconvenience, the carriers institut-
ed this stamp 1t was continued until
the act Of congress was passed establish
ing free delivery. The stamp is great
rarity, very few of them being in exist
ence. Baltimore American.

dreaded disease that science has been
able to cure in all its stages, and that is
Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the
only positive cure known to the medical

thereby destroying the foundation OF the
disease, giving the patient strength by

VIC cleCtlO1lS Ill OIlO,
War, bloody, cruel war, has at last
been declared by the Sultan of Turkey
against Greece, there has been severe
fighting since Saturday, and the six pow
ers, whose concert has proved so ineffect-
ual, stand by ready to quarrel over the
distribution OF the spoils whatever the
result may Re. Up to the present time
the victories have been about evenly d.
vided between the armies OF the warning
nations. The Turks have the larger and
better drilled army, which fights with a
fanaticism born of their religion as long
as there seems hope OF success, but, being
fatalists. when defeat appears probable
they turn and flee. The blood of heroes
has descended from generation to
generation of the Greeks during the
twenty-five hundreds of years that Greece
has been nation, and the inspiration of
Thermopyln, and OF the ancient glory
when her conquests extended to the Eu-
pirates, and this generation while de-
Tending its homes from the invasion of
the bloody Turk may be depended upon
to fight with all the valor OF their heroic
ancestors. May victory at last rest upon
their banners.
Evidently there was gross misrepre-
sentation in the report OF James Hamil-

There is to be 5000 expended for a
fish hatchery on the Chehalis river. This
is an advance move, but there's little use
in trying to preserve the fish as long as
dams are used for logging. "Splashing,'
as they call it, kills more young fish
than any other cause; besides, it pre-
vents the large fish from ascending the
streams to deposit their spawn, or eggs
Persons living on these streams where
dams are used are deprived OF the adj
vantage OF having Il supply OF fish in its
season. Nor is this the only evil result
ing from the "splashing"-the banks O
