II AN editorial article on q This Island World of
the Pacific the s. F. Bulletin of March 20,
has the following in regard to Hawaii nei
Probably at DO time have the islands of the
Pacific attracted so much attention as now. Com
munication between the larger islands and the main
land is quicker and cheaper. New markets are
searched ont. and new fields for agricultural and
mercantile enterprises. Sir julius Fogel, OF New
Zealand. has q thoughtful article in the last number
of The Princeton Rerisr, referring principally to
the commercial influence of the larger islands, such
as the Hawaiian Group, New Zealand and Austria
liza. He puts the salient part OF the treaty between
the United States and Hawaii in a nutshell, when he
points out that the admission free of sugar is equal
TO a bounty Of So a ton. That advantage is di-
yided between the sugar producers on those islands
and the sugar refners in San Francisco. Indeed.
the two interests are in q fair way to be consolidated.
Hawaii is recognized as a central group of islands
whose importance is just beginning to be appreci-
ated. They are central. geographically, as to South
Ameica, Australasia, Japan and China. The fol-
lowing table of distances TO points from Honolulu
will illustrate this proDOSition

Clarendon Hall was crowded yesterday afternoon
by the members OF the American Temperance Ly-

vinclsnd. N. j., who said he had come from o city
of $4,000 inhabitants, where not sgroggery exists
aud where they had not paid police oficer
because the people do not drink whiskey. It
was exaggeration to say that they never
would have licensed liquor store In vineland.
Mr. Tracey then took his place beside painting Of
fierce attack on King Alcohol. He inveghed against
the use OF all kinds Of ''bittors." which, ho
satd contained six per cent of alcohol He had been
forty six years in the temperance battle field, and,
although much had been accomplished In that time.
much yet remains to be done. and he expected to live
about fifteen years longer to tight the devil of In

abled the dealers to send their voters into

with what our Northern States doing. In Massa-

The war, Of course. left the negro penniless. To-
day their condition has wonderfully changed. Many
of them have acquired much wealth, and bank ac-
counts are not uncommon things among them Or.

There was no evidence of an abatement in the
popularity of Rockaway Beach, for the people poured
there in throngs all day long. The exceedingly
pleasant ride in the excursion of the Long
Island Railroad, either from Hunters Point
Brooklyn. was evidently appreciated. for the road
had all it could do to carry the people safely and
expeditiously. The journey occupied less than
hour, and lay through of the
most charming portions Of Long Island.
It was very enjoyable. and the magnificent surf
bathing at the end of the route capped the climax of
the days pleasure. The water was warm, and the
beach, for q distance Of three miles, black with
bathers. Az far as learned there were dis
turbances OF any kind, and the reporter saw
