HoNoKAA SUGAR Co.-The plantation Of this
corporation is situated in the fertile district Of Ham
akua, Hawaii. Our obliging correspondent sends us
under date of July 25, an interesting account ofthe
situation there, which we append, with the remark
that the showing is certainly n good one for a pro-
sperous future. The samples Of sugar are certainly
equal to any we have seen I" We have just taken of
one hundred acres Of cane that yielded an average
Of five and one half tons per acre Of growing cane.
Our plantation contains three thousand FIVE humid
red acres. Nearly all of which will produce equally
as good cane as the fields mentioned above. Among
the late improvements we have a trash house, 150x30,
with cars running from the mill into the upper part
with green trash, and from the lower part to the
Nboiler with dry trash. A newly arranged landing.
With q car running from the warehouse TO the
water, shears and a hosting engine with which we
can handle freight Of any description safely and

arrangements we will add, we have just unloaded
all the machinery for the new mill, n schooner load
or lumber, and loaded q schooner with sugar, all in
eight days. We have a large ten ton mill well un-
der way, TO be completed about September LIST.
We have a tramway one AND one eighth miles long,

POLICE CoURT.-Business in this forum during the
past week has been pretty brisk, His Honor having
had large audiences every day TO witness the adjudi-
cation Of criminal and civil cases. On Monday the
second officer and several Of the crew Of the bark
Camden were up on q charge ofopium smuggling.
1t appeared that the officer, named Jas. Allen, had
been making a business Of smuggling opium from
San Francisco, and he was sentenced 10 one years
imprisonment at hard labor; but agninst the sailors

erals deputy entered n nOHe pros. On Tuesday n
Chinaman was found 10 have in his possession a lot
OF refuse opium, and was sent ever for three months.
Two others were charged with smuggling the drug
in a chest with O false bottom. Their trial is set for
Monday. Opium may now be considered as a STAN
dard dish on the bill Of fare of the Police Court, the
supply to be constantly increased in proportion 10
the increase of the Chinese element in the city.

commercial interests of the country.
Men of the Meyers stamp will awaken to
the fact that they can not roost upon the
perch of respectability after having COM
mitted felony, be they ever 80 well
able to offer compromise through rich
or influential friends.
Judge Barrett held that any person
who buys on credit, or obtains possession
of, property, takes criminal risk as
to any representations he may make as
to his solvency." He can not excuse
himself on the plea of ignorance of his
financial condition. A business man is
always able and bound to know from
his books just what he is worth. No plea
of mistake, ignorance or inadverIency
will be received as a protection from, the
consequences of his misrepresentation.
When it is generally understood that
the criminal law is in harmony with the
interests of honest business, and that it
can and will be vigorously enforced,
these little jokes of buying bills of goods
with no intention of paying for them,
which have, by means of false repre-
sentations, been so common in years past,
and so destructive to the honest dealer,
will altogether cease. The law makes a
broad distinction between white le'
and criminal lie, and those who buy on
rrnlit must learn tha distinction or re-
sign themselves to the consequences.

AN EXAMPLE AND A WARNING

Business men may be quite hopeful
Chat the era of fraudulent bankruptcies
and of obtaining goods under false pre-
lenses is well nigh passed away. At least
these practices which have so long been
the bane of business circles are now made
30 dangerous that none but the most des-
perate adventures will run the hazard
Of the penitentiary, and any business
man of ordinary caution ought to be able
10 guard himself against this class as he
would secure his house against burglars
Or his goods against common thieves.
Times were, until quite recently,
Mat when men bought
large bill of goods in view of an immedi-
ate assignment, the only thing they had
10 fear was that the Courts would set
aside the assignment and perhaps the re-
suit would be that the creditor, after an
expensive litigation, might receive
small portion of his property or its equiv
llent. If the worst came to the worst
and fraudulent purchaser found himself
Rmenable TO the criminal law, nothing
was easier than to compound the felony
by indemnifying the prosecuting creditor
m part or in whole. .
The Courts and business men are tax

rett, Of the New York City Oyer and
Terminer, on the Goth ult., sentenced a

Meyers was convicted of having OBJ

Yesterdays Abend Postl
The Volksblatt of to-day comes ont
against the proposed Democratic Rice.
Hassaurek ticket with the positive decIara-
ton that Mr.. Hassaurek will accept no
nomination from any party. We believe
this. Where, in case of Hassaurek can
didacy, would be left the so-called indie
pendence of the Nolkshatt, which is only
used to press money out OF both parties?
Furthermore, Mr.. Hassaurek would not
dream of willfully destroying the last
of the halo of strength which, with
so ruch art and cunning, he has
woven around his brow, but which,
in the last years, he las only claimed
before Americans, who know no better.
Mr.. HaSsauIek is ambitious, so much so
that he would rather nave his right hand
cut off than to show them his weakness
and want of power among the Germans.
Our fellowmen honor Mr.. Hassaurek as a
gifted-minded man, but what they think of
him as politician has been shown by the
unGeasing defeats of the VOlksbiatt during
the last three years, and only those Ameri-
cans who are still plodding over the same
track and who have no idea of the new
movements and influences in German cir
ces can be deceived. The Volksblatt was
defeated in its shaky discussion of
the simple gold question; in its
perforated opposition to the Southern Road !;
in its egotistical support Of 81 Hoffman and
Ex-Mayor Johnston: in its political and
personal fight against Ben. Butterworth !;
in its Indifferent tenure during the last
Mayoralty election (Which the Germans will
never forgive), and in the late defeat Of
Judge TAFT who would have received the
nomination and lost none Of the nine Ger
man votes which went to Foster, from this
county. had it not been that the prominent
German Republicans had determined to
fight everything connected with the finan-
cial and other matters Of the Volksbatt, as
long as ii was prostituting the causes of both
parties. Hassaurek personally knows his
political weakness, and he is too sharp to
arouse the Americans by candidacy IRON
their delusion which has been OF such bene-
fit to him.
