POO Pan SINCLAIR.


The Hobokon Health Commissioner
held their last regular meeting yesterday
afternoon in the City Hall.
J.. J. Guihan of No. So First street re-
quested the Board to cancel the fine of
$50 imposed on him for a violation of the
Sanitary Code. He was fined on the rec
ommendation of Plumbing Inspector Ora
ham Sinclair. who charged him with US
ing inferior pipe for a contract he had
in hand. 1t created considerable COM
ment in Hoboken. Sinclair is in the
plumbing business himself and Cuban
up against him because the inspector felt
aggrieved at not having received the con-
tract awarded to him.
The Commissioners, with the exception
of Sinclair, were inclined to cancel the
line at last nights meeting Of the Board.
and 1t was finally decided to reduce the
fine to $25.
Commissions Fuggazi inquired of Pres
ident teadma how much longer Sin
clair propose to act as inspector OIL the
Board. Sinclair, 1t will be remembered,
is both a mi and mploye of the
Board. President Steadman said that Sin
clair was only acting as inspector tenn
porarily. mother inspector was to be APP
pointed shortly; he said.
1t is rumored that an effort will be made
70 nave a man named johnSon a nephew
of Sinclair, appointed to the position.
Johnson is employed by Sinclair. The
plumbers of the town, it is rumored, will
protest against Johnson's appointment.
Commissioner Fuggazi informed the
Board that he thought the resolutions
adopted at the last meeting, thanking
Palmer Campbell for his services to the
Commissioners the past seven years were
not satisfactory. and moved that a new
set of resolutions be adopted and an en-
crossed cory OF the same presented to
Mr.. Campbell. Commissioner Heller OBJ
jected to the motion when he discovered
that the expense of engrossing the resolu-
tom would have to be borne personally
by the Commissioners. The motion was
withdrawn.
DR.. Helfer reported a case of sewer gas
at No. S. Jefferson street. He said there
were over twenty-five children in the
house and that they looked like little
ghosts" Inspector GraneIi was instruct
ed to attend to the matter.

THE PARIS COMMANDER.
Capt. Watkins Was NaturaIfzed In
Jeraev CITY Some Time Ago.

1t may be interesting to know that Cap
tain Watkins. commander of the Ameri-
can liner Paris. now being chased by
Spanish cruisers across the Atlantic, was
naturalized a few years ago in Jersey City
n Mr.. Charles B. Thurston and Senator
William Brinkerhoff assisted him in
swearing off allegiance to Queen Victoria,
and taking the oath of fealty to Uncle
Sam. Captain Watkins was born in En-
gland, and went before the mast at an
early age. BY hard work, study and in
domitable perseverance he rose until he
commanded the fastest liner in the In
man line, which ultimately merged into
shrewd seadog, and far too wary to be
caught by the Spaniards.

the distance to Hawaii from the cen
prevent it from being a formidable
competitor in the sugar market The
sugar industry OF Hawaii has depended
on contract labOr-Chinese and Japan
csc. The extension Of American laws
10 the Islands and the enforcement OF
the contract labor laws there Will pre-
vent the Importation Of coolies, viii
prevent the cheap labor which has en-
aDled the Hawaiian farmers to produce
sugar so cheaply and Will raise labor
to the American standard and the Am
erican price-a rise which will put the
Islands on an equality with Louisiana.
while the latter is much nearer the
consumers OF sugar.
These words contain notice TO our
own planters that the Louisiana men,
who are now members of the Republic
an party, will closely watch the move
ment of the planters here, so far as
they attempt to import labor. We are
forewarned.
But the Louisiana men take another
and novel view of the matter. 1t is
expressed in these words:
They see in the continuance of the
present war taxes and the permanent
adoption of the English system Of rev
enue by stamps, the greatest element
of danger. If these taxes are main
tanned as a permanency, when the
country returns to it's normal condi-
ton there will be more than enough
revenue for its support, and they fear
that it may then surrender the sugar
duty, as Mckinley surrendered it in the
Tariff bill, because there is enough rev.
enue without it. The bugbear OF the
Louisiana sugar planter is not eXpan-
sion, but the war taxes and the posi-
bility of their permanent adoption
bringing with it d reopening of the old
tariff agitation. which they supposed
was permanently closed
No doubt the practice of expansion"
will soon raise some perplexing ques-
lions regarding the imposition of
duties.
If the sugar beet industry was we'll
established, and profitable, it would de-
eide, through the farmers vote, against
any encouragement of the sugar in
dustries of the tropical lands. But that
interest owing to it's experimental
condition, is not as yet powerful fac
tor in politics.
The policy of expansion may prove
in time, quite injurious to our own in
terests as we'll as TO that of the sugar
beet people.
At the same time. our planters have
the start in the most economical pro-
duction of sugar, so far as brain work
is concerned.
AS to the black cloud of the labor
supply, now rising in the sky, it looks
as if they will allow it to burst before
they make any preparations for shelter.

THE LOUISIANA VIEW.

The men concerned in the sugar in
terests OF Louisiana are anXiOusly
waiting for the action of the Govern
ment regarding the political situation
of Cuba and the Philippines. About
two-fifths of the people are Interested
in the industry, and if it meets with
reyerses, there will be widespread
differing. The view taken by the
Louisiana planters regarding Hawaii
is set forth in the following words:
"As for annexation, the Hawaiian
situation will be in nowise different
from what it was before, as the reel
procity treaty admitted Hawaiian sugar
free. The area adapted to sugar grow
ing in the Islands is small, the labor
question is a difficult one there, ana
