The Hawaiian Reciprocity Treaty. ‘rhe bill for giving the needed legislative sanction to the Sandwich Islands treaty, which has been for some time in abeyance in consequence of the illness of Mr. Wood, is to come up again for discussion to-day. It isto be hoped that it may pass, It is a strong presumption in favor of the treaty | that it was ratified by the Senate by a large | majority after careful inquiry into its merit, The bill for carrying it into effect is favored by the best brain and ability of the House. Afnong the members from this city Mr. Wood, Mr. Hewitt, General Ward, Mr. Cox and Mr. Willis are its stanch advocates. It is understood that the gentlemen who will speak for it to-day are Professor Seelye, General Banks and General Garfield. The chief opposition to it comes from an active lobby in the pay of the American sugar in- terest, The idea that the Hawaiian sugar can come into competition with that of Louisiana is preposterous. Nota pound of Louisiana sugar goes to the Pacific coast, not a pound of the Hawaiian sugar would cross the Rocky Mountains. Why should not our people on the Pacific coast have cheap sugar? The only objection is ‘that the federal Treasury would lose the duty, but the loss would be more than balanced by the increased pros- perity of the Pacific States, which would lead to a larger consumption of other dutiable articles. Every member of Congress from those States is a zealous advocate of the treaty, not only because it would give their constituents cheaper sugar, but because it would open a new and easily accessible mar- ket for their productions, and would prevent Great Britain from getting control of those islands. Even the minor question of mar- kets isan important one for our Pacific States, Access to the Atlantic States either by the * Pacific Railroad or the isthmus is so very ex- pensive that it is no wonder they desire a market nearer home where the coat of froights would not consume nearly the whole value of their commodities, and it is but just that they should have it. Besides, it would be absurd for Congress to let Great Britain get posses- sion of the finest naval station in the Pacific Ocean near enough to our coast to be a formidable basis of annoyance. Doran Doomep.—The Court of Appeals has affirmed the action of the lower courtsin _ the matter of the conviction of Dolan for the murder of James H. Noe. The effect of this decision is virtually to establish Mr. Thomas Dunlap in his officeas Commissioner of Jurors, and, what is of more consequence, to bring the Bar and the courts back to the old time interpretation of murder. As re- gards Dolan’s guilt there is no reasonable doubt, but a review of his case by the Court of Appeals was his due, and we are glad it has been had with such salutary results. The case is one where, guilt being estab- lished, conviction and punishment were necessary, and we presume there is no hope of Executive clemency for the doomed man.
