An exhibition match of billiards was arranged in San Francisco lately between J. F. B. McCleery, billiard and Crown, a Canadian player. The latter failed to appear, to the disgust of several hundred lovers of the game. In order to prevent dis- appointment of the audience, an ama- teur named James Gilbert was induced to play McCleery, the latter heavily handicapped. McCleery was to play 200 points eight-inc- h balk line to Gil- bert's 100 points straight rail. The amateur won by making his score In twenty innings, when McCleery had only readied 165. The latter made one run of 72.

He says the expense of State quaran- tines should be paid by the parties in- terested, that is, by the ceneral public, and that the fees for the support of the stations and salaries of officers should not be exacted from vessels.

The Spanish .Government has in- vited representatives of the United States and Spanish-America- n repub- lics to in the Christopher Columbus celebration, and the pro- posal has been heartily adopted. All the governments of Europe and Amer- ica and all geographical and other learned societies of the world are invited to send delegates to the cele- bration. The festivities will continue one week and the ceremonies will in- clude the unveiling of a monument to Columbus at Huelva. Advices received in London from Massowah say that great activity pre- vails among the Italian troops there. Every preparation is being made to meet the advancing Abyssinians. It is reported that RasoAluta overrated the Italian movement to King John.

A Joker's Repatation- - President Lincoln said once that the best story he ever read in the papers of himself was this: Two Quakeresses were travelling on the railroad, and were heard discussing the probable termination of the war. "I think," said the first. " that Jefferson will suc- ceed." " Why does thee think so ? " asked the other. " Because Jefferson is a praying man." " And so is Abra- ham a praying man," objected the second. " Yes, but the Lord will think Abraham is joking," the first replied, conclusively. Omaha Bee. ODB SAN FMCISCO LETTER Special Correspondence of the Gazette The Committee on Ways and Means of the present Congress will be Mills (chairman;, Cox of New York, McMillan of Tennessee. Breckenridge of Kentucky, Breckenridge of Arkansas, Tamer of Georgia, By mem of In- diana, all Democrats, and Keller of Penn-sylrani- a, Brown of Indiana, Ueed of Maine, Falter of Iowa and MoKinley of Ohio, all Republicans. There is not a protectionist among the majority and Speaker Carlisle has assigned one freetrader to the minority. Mills of Texas, when interviewed, said that 'the administration reTenae bill proposed to oat off $50,000,000 on customs daties by placing salt, coal, iron ore, wood and a few other articles on the free list, reducing the duties on sugar one-hal- f, and cutting the duties on a few other articles." The attention of Congress will be especi- ally directed to the "Trusts" that hare re- cently sprung into existence, and their effect npon the necessaries of life, action being especially directed against the coal and sugar trusts, which, it is claimed, are the cause of the present high price of sugar, which is quoted to-d- at 5 15-1- 6 cents for Cuban 96. With the abolition ot the doty on sugar will probably come a bounty to sugar producers in the United States, and this, says the Netct Letter, " meanB a bounty to every industry into which sugar enters." The stertmer City of Pueblo, that it was said would be placed in the Hawaiian trade, haB been chartered by Goodall, Perkins & Co. for the Pacific CoasI trade; and the steam-schoone- r Jesse H. Freeman, after making a few coasting trips, is being fitted out for wbnling. , The San Francisco papers have been filled with most contradictory stories as to the position of affairs in Hawaii, "owing to the Kind's veto of certain bills passed by the Leg- islature. Mr. Wilder has been extensively interviewed and plaoes matters in a favor- able HrA, while other .information, purport- ing to have been derived from private ad- vices, tells of a second revolution that was imminent. The Post has published a story to the effect that the United States can buy the Islands for $5,000,000, giving Kilakaua a good ranch with $5,000 per annum in Cali- fornia. It is also stated that Gibson will return to Honolulu, and again resume the helm of statesmanship, as soon as be is assured that bis fair friend the book agent has sailed for Yokohama or San Francisco. Gibson claims to be posted on the true inwardness of affairs. savB that the present government is not acceptable to Ha- - wauans, and that a change wouia oe giaaiy welcomed. Messrs. Geo. W. Meade & Co. of San Fran- cisco have failed. They are large dealers in California produce and have customers in Honolulu. Their liabilities amount to $175,-00- 0, with assets estimated at $350,000. Speca lations in real estate and other heavy invest- ments are claimed to be the reasons'for their snspension. The international conference on sugar bounties, held in London, has temporarily suspended proceedings and it has been con- sidered a success. The delegates, who came from Austria, Hungary, Belgium, Brazil, Denmark, France, Germany, Holland, Italy, Russia, Spain and Sweden, signed a protocol for the entire abolition of sugar bounties, which will be submitted to their respective Governments for ratification. The results will be made public in March, when the dele- gates will meet again. In the meantime it is expected that tbe present high price of raw sugar will be maintained, and may very probably go still higher. This will indeed be good news to Hawaiian planters. On tbe other hand, the Louisiana sugar crop is un- usually heavy, and a gain of ten per cent, is claimed turougu tue use of the dinusion pro cess over other methods. The Havemeyer Sugar ltefinery Company of New York retires from business this year, aud Mr. W. T. Havemeyer goes to St. Louis to manage tbe St. Louis Sugar Uefining Com- pany. This is tbe on ;ome of the Eastern "trust," wtnoh ountrols tbe output of re- fined sugars and tbns maintains values. Imports of Hawaiian HUgars at San Fran cisco amounted last year to 205.781,317 pounds, of tbe value or $tf,4'Ju,U(j7. The im- port) of rice from the- - same source were 12,517,900 pounds, of tho value of $501,890. The Louisiana rice crop is twenty-fiv- e per cent, lens man last year, but prices nave fifty per cent., while a further speca-lativ- movement iB probable. Among tbe passengers leaving by the sieanmmp Australia are wm.tf.enny watson. of the Glasgow firm of Mirrjees & Watson, who have Bnpplied so much of the sugar ma- chinery for tbe Islands; Mrs. Wen. Benny Watson, Mihs Mirrlees, H. 11. Hitchcock and wife, Miss A. Horner, C. H. Atberton and wire, t or the Mariposa, sailing on January 12th, there are' booked ' W. H. Bailey and wife, Mrs. H. M. Whitney aud Mrs. S. T. Alexander. L. Montgomery Mather, traveling agent for the Islands, bns been to Monterev. Thence he returned to San Francisco and has since gone south to Los Angeles and San Diego. Small-po- has been increasing to such an extent in San Francisco, four and five cases occurring daily, that the city has been pro- claimed epidemic Several hundred people are being vaccinated daily and every precau- tion is taken to prevent the spread of the disease, it is satisfactory to note that tbe percentage . of deaths has been very small, tbe balk of the patients progressing very favorably. The following is tbe latest shipping news: San Fbanciboo Arrivals: December 24th, S. S. Mariposa, 7 days; December 27th, S. S. Australia. 7 days; December 28tb, S. S. Oceanic, 7 days; December 29tb, Hawaiian bark Lady Lampson, 15 days, all from Honolulu; schooner Anna, 13 days from Ka-hul- Departures: December 31st, brig W. G. Irwin, for Honolulu. Tbe schooner Anna arrived off San Fran cisco on December 29th, bnt owing to the very rough weather prevailing and condition of the bar, she was nnable to enter and pro- ceeded to sea again. Loading for Honolulu: Lady Lampson, Planter, S. M. Castle, all to sail within a few days. For Hilo, Dora Blahm. Hongkong. December 20th, bark Edward May from Honolulu. Manlla. January 1st, Hawaiian bark Ea-- , lakaua arrived in distress, bound from Hong- kong to Pobt Blakslbx. December 21st, barken-tin- e Amelia for Honolulu. Portuguese Hence in California. Ban Francisco papers remark on the ar- rivals of Portugneso from these Islands. Tbe Bulletin sayB: Nearly forty Portuguese arrived on tbe steamer Australia yesterday from the Ha- waiian Islands where tbey had been working under contract on tbe plantations. After landing at the Ocennio mail dock the small aud picturesque colony started np through tbe city, looking as odd as a band of gypoies. Half of them were barefooted and wore all kinds of fantastio and vari-color- garments. Nearly every ship brings a band of these people, who are seeking homes in California. Their places on tbe islands are being taken by Japanese. Captain Miller Dead. The San Francisco Examiner of tbe 3d has a news item from Santa Crux announcing tbe death, at that place, on the previous day, of Captain T. F. Miller. Deceased was well known in Honolulu. Some eight years ago he brought tbe schooner Bonanza here from tbe Coast', and made several trips in her thereafter. He had an interest in the bark Kalakana, in which be made a number of trips aa master. He latterly retired to Santa Cruz, where he engaged in the bath-hous- e business and also owned a ranch at that Slace. Captain Miller at the date of his would be about 70 years of age. He leaves a widow and family of four sons and one daughter at Santa Cruz. tncrol SUtttrtistrrunts. PIONEER LINE . THEO. H. DAVIES & CO.

President Lincoln said once that thebest story he ever read in the papers ofhimself was this: Two Quakeresseswere travelling on the railroad, andwere heard discussing the probabletermination of the war. "I think,"said the first. " that Jefferson will suc-ceed." " Why does thee think so ? "asked the other. " Because Jeffersonis a praying man." " And so is Abra-ham a praying man," objected thesecond.

ODB SAN FMCISCO LETTER

Special Correspondence of the Gazette

The Committee on Ways and Means of thepresent Congress will be Mills (chairman;,Cox of New York, McMillan of Tennessee.Breckenridge of Kentucky, Breckenridge ofArkansas, Tamer of Georgia, By mem of In-diana, all Democrats, and Keller of Penn-sylrani- a,

Brown of Indiana, Ueed of Maine,Falter of Iowa and MoKinley of Ohio, allRepublicans. There is not a protectionistamong the majority and Speaker Carlislehas assigned one freetrader to the minority.Mills of Texas, when interviewed, said that'the administration reTenae bill proposedto oat off $50,000,000 on customs daties byplacing salt, coal, iron ore, wood and a fewother articles on the free list, reducing theduties on sugar one-hal- f, and cutting theduties on a few other articles."

The attention of Congress will be especi-ally directed to the "Trusts" that hare re-

cently sprung into existence, and their effectnpon the necessaries of life, action beingespecially directed against the coal andsugar trusts, which, it is claimed, are thecause of the present high price of sugar,which is quoted to-d- at 5 15-1- 6 cents forCuban 96. With the abolition ot the dotyon sugar will probably come a bounty tosugar producers in the United States, andthis, says the Netct Letter, " meanB a bountyto every industry into which sugar enters."

The stertmer City of Pueblo, that it wassaid would be placed in the Hawaiian trade,haB been chartered by Goodall, Perkins &Co. for the Pacific CoasI trade; and thesteam-schoone- r Jesse H. Freeman, aftermaking a few coasting trips, is being fittedout for wbnling. ,

The San Francisco papers have been filledwith most contradictory stories as to theposition of affairs in Hawaii, "owing to theKind's veto of certain bills passed by the Leg-islature. Mr. Wilder has been extensivelyinterviewed and plaoes matters in a favor-able HrA, while other .information, purport-ing to have been derived from private ad-

vices, tells of a second revolution that wasimminent. The Post has published a storyto the effect that the United States can buythe Islands for $5,000,000, giving Kilakaua agood ranch with $5,000 per annum in Cali-fornia. It is also stated thatGibson will return to Honolulu, and againresume the helm of statesmanship, as soonas be is assured that bis fair friend thebook agent has sailed for Yokohama or SanFrancisco. Gibson claims to be posted onthe true inwardness of affairs. savB that thepresent government is not acceptable to Ha- -wauans, and that a change wouia oe giaaiywelcomed.

Messrs. Geo. W. Meade & Co. of San Fran-cisco have failed. They are large dealers inCalifornia produce and have customers inHonolulu. Their liabilities amount to $175,-00- 0,

with assets estimated at $350,000. Specalations in real estate and other heavy invest-ments are claimed to be the reasons'for theirsnspension.

The international conference on sugarbounties, held in London, has temporarilysuspended proceedings and it has been con-sidered a success. The delegates, who camefrom Austria, Hungary, Belgium, Brazil,Denmark, France, Germany, Holland, Italy,Russia, Spain and Sweden, signed a protocolfor the entire abolition of sugar bounties,which will be submitted to their respectiveGovernments for ratification. The resultswill be made public in March, when the dele-gates will meet again. In the meantime itis expected that tbe present high price ofraw sugar will be maintained, and may veryprobably go still higher. This will indeedbe good news to Hawaiian planters. On tbeother hand, the Louisiana sugar crop is un-usually heavy, and a gain of ten per cent, isclaimed turougu tue use of the dinusion process over other methods.

The Havemeyer Sugar ltefinery Companyof New York retires from business this year,aud Mr. W. T. Havemeyer goes to St. Louisto manage tbe St. Louis Sugar Uefining Com-pany. This is tbe on ;ome of the Eastern"trust," wtnoh ountrols tbe output of re-

fined sugars and tbns maintains values.Imports of Hawaiian HUgars at San Fran

cisco amounted last year to 205.781,317pounds, of tbe value or $tf,4'Ju,U(j7. The im-port) of rice from the-- same source were12,517,900 pounds, of tho value of $501,890.The Louisiana rice crop is twenty-fiv- e percent, lens man last year, but prices nave

fifty per cent., while a further speca-lativ-

movement iB probable.Among tbe passengers leaving by the

sieanmmp Australia are wm.tf.enny watson.of the Glasgow firm of Mirrjees & Watson,who have Bnpplied so much of the sugar ma-chinery for tbe Islands; Mrs. Wen. BennyWatson, Mihs Mirrlees, H. 11.

Captain Miller Dead.

The San Francisco Examiner of tbe 3d hasa news item from Santa Crux announcingtbe death, at that place, on the previous day,of Captain T. F. Miller. Deceased was wellknown in Honolulu. Some eight years agohe brought tbe schooner Bonanza here fromtbe Coast', and made several trips in herthereafter. He had an interest in the barkKalakana, in which be made a number oftrips aa master. He latterly retired to SantaCruz, where he engaged in the bath-hous- e

business and also owned a ranch at thatSlace. Captain Miller at the date of his

It is not necessary to qualify tinsdefinition by saying that it does notinclude those cases where substancesare, added to orjtaken from iu order toenhanceJithej value of the articlefAdulterations of tliat sortremaInyet:to be discovered.

That about everything has beenadulterated whichtcouldbe,.especially,in the line of .foods, is a.matter of.un- -questioned prooi. as new-ior- ms oiadulteration have come to light, peoplehave been inclined to wonder, " Well,what-- next Tbeyicould SympathizeWith' the hen wiiichvwas made an gf

party to at fraud "Goodigracious," &id$she,5wbxn she djscoyr'eredia norcolain. einr in her nest, 'LIshall be a bricklayer jiext!"

If we inquire closely into the causesof adulteration, we shall find that it isan immediate effect of the develop-ment of commerce. In primitive con-

ditions of society, there may be tricks oftrade, ignorant bartering, substitution

. of bad for good, falseness, and mean-ness of every sort, but no systematicsophistication is possible. Also, in' asemi-pastor- al state, in which the foodof a family is raised from the soil onwhich they live, and clothing manu-factured from the wool of their ownsheep and spun into textile garmentsat their ow.n firesides, commercialfrauds are unknown or undeveloped.

Various reasons have been assignedto account for the prevalence of adul-teration, and among these we may' distinguish those which are eitherpurely fictitious or half true and those

are real. The former are ratherexcuses which have been urged by

"dealers in extenuation of adulteration.Let us examine some of these.

One reason assigned in defense ofmany adulterations is that they arepractised in obedience to the wishesand tastes of the public. It is on thisplea tliat many kinds of coloring areexcused, such as the coloring of redsauces, potted meats, and lishf withred clay" cheese with annatto; pickles,bottled fruits and vegetables with cop-per; and'su'gar and' confectionery withA'aribus"' pigments containing salts ofarsenic, lead, copper, etc.

In reply.'to this, we, may sa'felyassume thafwhen people prefer a morehighly colored article; it is a merequesiidn of appearance and in total ig-

norance of the', composition and in-jurious effects of the coloring matter,just as a child Will always take themost highly colored stick of candy heonii fiiiilL 'Pliifftiflflln. nipfl nnlvthn in- -

It is especially true ofpoor people, who, unable to afford the4)ure, take what they can get.

In connection with the causes ofadulteration, it is pertinent to inquireiwhdraresjhe parties guilty of adultera- -

lioni J. ll some cusea, it io me iiiiuiu-facturer- s;

in vothers, the retail dealers.Some.of the adulterations practised

the work to be done on a largescale and mvoivor-exiensiv- e macnin-erj- ',

which the tradesman does notpossess., For instancf there are whole-sale spice grinders, roasters and grind-ers;" .of 'coffee, etc. Adulteration ofmustardL'vinegar, annatto, snuff, sugar,confectionery, spicesj'etc., are usuallypractised hy the manufacturers.Aside from the advantage of having the

necessaryinachinery and other meansforperJqrniinghisoperatjonsoh a large.scalejjtne nianiiaj;turur takes the re-sponsibility of'adlilte'ration off theshoulders of tens of thousands of re-tailers, who immediately supply thepublic, so.thatthe guilt is contined.in

hody of manufacturers whose "ope"ra-tio- ns

are conducted in retirement andsecrecy and whose premises are notaccessible to, the public.' MamwayS' in which the retailercan practise adulteration to advantagewill readily suggest themselves.Where the tradesman himself does notadulteratebur knowingly arid .pur-posely buys of adulterating manufac-turers, he is a party to the fraud andis held as guilty as the actualperpe-trato- r

of tliejadulteration.4 pAlthough1 the manufacturers and

tradesmen are mainly responsible forthe. .existence of adulteration, someblanie'iiiust be attached to that por-tion of the public which will sanctionthe practice by knowingly purchasingadulteratedgoods'.

The-subjec- t of food adulteration isone of sufficiently high importance toengage' the. earnest attention of thestatesman, the, financier, the sani-tarian, .and. the moralist. It is reallya great national question, closely af-fecting the pocket of the consumer, therevenue, and 'the health and morals ofthe people. Let us consider it in itsvarious hearings.

The pecun iary side of this questionrelates to the consumer, the manufac- -'

turer, the retailer, and the publicrevenue.

In the first place, the consumer suf-fers loss. The profit of adulterationcomes from the sale of articles soadulterated as to be greatly inferior invalue to genuine wares, a price beingdemanded for these mixed goods,yielding a larger profit than could beobtained by the sale of unadulteratedgoods indeed, they are often sold atthe same prices as the pure article.The seller's increased profit is just somuch the consumer's loss. It is quiteprobable that the loss of the consumeris, in most cases, more than equal inamount to his taxes. This loss fallsmore especially on the laboring por-tion of the population, who are com-pelled to buy the goods'they 'use fromthe cheapest shops, Kvhere the sale ofadulterated, articles,, prevails to thegreatest extent. ,iU, t

In the next? place, adulterationtends to injure and ruin the morescrupulous and honest competitors, bethey manufacturers or retailers, sincethe dealers in. adulterated goods, cangreatly, .undersell, hope, 'vjlio take'painsto handlo only pure articles. ,

"Again, the state suffers loss, jilarge part of the public revenue being,derived from duties on articles of con-sumption, the more these articles areadulterated, the smaller is apt to bethe totall amount oflthe real value ofoodsthu 6nMimed. it'ii hardly

possible, tp,esthnale?accurately;bp ex-act oss to haf grivernirient! coiningfrom adulteration. On thia point some'careful calculations were made in,Great JJritain, based on analytical re-sults and covering a period of one year;and the amount of revenue known tobe lost to the government was foundto be, atr the lowest'ealculatiohs, fif-

teen millions of dollars; while twice'that 'dmounfa would probably havebeeujiearer the oxaci sum.. If ?w.q turn now to the sanitary hearrinirs.of tlie subtect. we find tliaf hdul- -teratjph'ls, beyond till doubt, 'a' serious,anu important" question in its. relationto public health.

STRONG BUM MAD.The Kansas Prohibitory Law Declared

. ,' yaliil hy the United States'

Supreme Court.

"Washington Dec. 5. --'JusticeHiirlan delivered the opinion' of the'court to-da- y in the twoprohibition cases of Peter Hugler,plairitiffi in error, vs. the State ofKansas, and in the case of the Stateof Kansas vs. Herman Ziebold andothers, niiirming the judgment ofthe lower court in the two. "Mugler"cases and reversing the judgment inthe Ziebold case. The effect of thisopthitlh U to declare valid the pro-

hibition laws of the State, of Kansas,and, . is ot course a decided victoryfor the prohibitionists.

The decision is very important,anci .likely to be in itscqusequenc.es. The judgment of thecourti was pronounced in a long andelaborate opinion by Mr. JusticeHarlan, who said :

; The general question in each caseis whether the prohibition statutesof Kansas are in conflict with thatclause, of the Fourteenth Amend-ment which provides that "no Stateshall make or enforce any law whichshall abridge the privileges or im-

munities of citizens' of the UnitedStates, nor shall any State deprivbany person of life, liberty or propertyWithout due process of law. Thatlegislation by a State prohibiting themanufacture within her limits ofintoxicating liquors, to be there soldor" bartered for general use as a beverage, does not necessarily infringeany right, privilege, or immunitysecured by the Constitution of theUnited States, is made clear by thedecisions of this court rendered be-

fore and since the adoption of thefourteenth amendment. It is; how-ever, contended that although theStateMAY PROHIBIT THE MANUFACTUREof intoxicating liquors for sale orbarter within her limits, for generaluse as a beverage, no convention orlegislature has the right, under ourform of government, to prohibit anycitizen from manufacturing, for hisown use or for export or .storage,any article of food or drink notendangering or affecting the rightsof others.

The argument made in support ofthe first branch of this propositionbriefly stated is : That in the im-plied compacts between the Stateand the citizen certain rights arereserved by the latter which areguaranteed by the constitutional pro-vision for the protection of lifelib-erty, and property against depriva-tion without due process of law, andwith which the State cannot inter-fere; that among those rights is thatof manufacturing for one's own use,either food or drink; that, while ac-

cording to the doctrines of the com-niun- e,

the state may control thetastes, appetites, habits, dress, food,and drinof the citizen, our systemof government, based upon the in-

dividuality and intelligence of thepebple, does not claim to control himexcept as to his conduct to others,leaving him the sole judge as to allthat only, affects himself.

It will be observed that the pro-position and, the argument made insupport pf it equally concede thatthe right to manufacture' drink for

, pne', personal iise is, subject 'to thecondition that such manufacturedoes not endauger or affect the,rightsoff others. If such manufacture doedprejudicially affect the rights andinter efs 'of the' 'community, it fol- -Ipwsi fronA ;tH yefy jrefriides statedoy pounsei, uiat societyAathq powerto protect-itself- , by legislation againstthe injurious consequences. of thatbusiness. As was said in' Mum vs.,lllTngers'(94 U. S:, 124); whileipoweruies uot exit wnn me wnoie peopleja control rights tiiiiC are"TJJBEliY ANU CONCLUSIVELY Pltl- -

JJutby whom or by what authorityis it tu be determined whether themanufacture of oarticular article ofdrhi'k, Neither for general use or forthe personal use Of the maker, wilLinjuriously affeel the public?
