POSTAL MATTERS.
The annual report of First Assistant Post
master General HattOn, gives the number
of post-Ofiices in operation June 30, 1882, as
40, 231, an increase of ], 719 during the year;
and 1851 of these offices were filled by APP

system was in operation during the year in
1l2 principal cities and employed 3, 115 car
riers. The regular appropriation for this
by special appropriation $4,000 to meet the
anticipated deficiency, making the total APP
preparation So, DE, 900, an increase of S125,-
900 over the previous year. The total cost
Of the service was 50, 623 262, leaving an I'M
expended balance of S1,737, The average
10. This decrease was owing to the appoint
ment of additional carriers (auXiliaries) at
500 per annum, as the appropriation was
insufficient to employ carriers at q higher
salary. Gen. Hatton recommends that the
free delivery system be extended to towns
within short distances of one another which
have not sngly the required qualification of
population or the gross revenue emitting
them to this service, but which have in the
aggregate more than the required popula-
ton or revenue. During this year the regu-
lar biennial adjustment of 2,012 presidential
postmasters' salaries made the increase 24S,

Wellborn's man of much renown,
With sound learning and conscience clear,
Much admired In country and town,
For he treats to Milwaukee Beer.
And Crawford, too, is good and great;
In congress would work and talk
To much improve his country's fate;
He, too, treats to the Beer OF Falk.
Why should they not? Does Il not show
That men of talent are quite sure
As with wisdom they fill and grow,
To rightly judge the good and pure.

Lahaina Sugar Cane.

Or, more properly the white Tahiti cane, was
introduced into many sugar countries long be-
fore it reached these Islands, as we learn from a

ton from "Mosely's Treatise on Sugar -
Thirty years ago the cane of Otaheite was in
troduced into the West Indies, and from its vast
superiority over the old v~arities cultivated, both
as to quality and quantity of produce it soon

1T will, ne doubt, be interesting TO our
readers to learn what has been done up to
the present time to carry out the provisions
of the Hawaiian Coinage Act. 1t turns out
that no silver coins of smaller denomination
than one dollar are minted at San Fran
cisco. All the minor silver coins of the
United States are made at Philadelphia.
This circumstance will occasion a little de-
lay in making arrangements to have
halves, quarters, ETC., struck off,. The only
place in America where dies for striking
coin are made is also Philadelphia. The
die for any single coin with an ordinary
amount of work on its faces costs $500. If
the design of the coin be elaborate the cost
of the die is correspondingly greater.
The laws of the United States fortunately
permit their minis to coin money for any
other State that may be DESTROYS of avail
ing itself of such a privilege, and they also
such coming shall be charged for it. The
seignOrage actually charged will be IL per
cent. OH the nominal value of the coin. This
together with all other expenses that may
attach to the work, is far exceeded by the
profit attached to the issue of silver coin.
The cost of the American standard dollar
which contains 412L grains was about 80
cents but in the present favorable condi-
ton of the market for silver bullion the
actual cost of the material will be less than
that. This at least is the opinion of the
officers of the San Francisco mint, as eX-
pressed to the agent of this Government.
Calculations based on information obtained
from reliable men connected with the bull
lion market correspond fairly well with
hat estimate. An ounce of pure silver,
technically known as of 100O-100O fineness,
is at present worth Lbs Zone dollar and
fourteen and a half cents). In minting, this
silver is alleged to the extent of One-tenth
that is, it is bought to the standard of
900-1000 fine. An ounce of this standard
metal therefore, contains 1872 grains silver
and 48 grains of alloy. The silver in it costs
at the price above named Sl.0305. Neglect
ing the cost of the 4S grains of alloy (which
is probably less than the fifth part of a
cent? we have the cost of the dollar of 1927
ozs. standard fineHess a small fraction over
9SL cents. Add to this a cent and a half
for seignorage and a like amount for the
expense of bringing the coin here and for
agency charges and there still remains a
profit of so cents on the issue. There could
not indeed, have been chosen a more favor
able time for the emission of a Hawaiian
silver coinage.

ToRIAL ARTICLES.

eFrom the Daily Pacific Commercial 4dcertiser)
WE hear from reliable authority that
there is at present in San Francisco q
much greater disposition to invest in Island
stocks than has been the case at any former
time. Our informant has the best pos
sibIe means of obtaining information,
and he says that a decided confidence in
the Islands is growing up, which Indicates
that the industrial enterprises of this King
dom will command "investing and seeking
capital" to any extent hat we may desire.
That is to say, not only can money be bor-
rowed readily on the security of their prop
erty by those engaged in productive enter.
prises here, but there is a disposition to
take up stock in our plantations. One large
business house is reported to have said: "If
you. can assure US that your stocks nave a
reasonable business foundation they can all
be sold here-Oe UiA take the chance OF the
Treaty." In other words investors in San
Francisco do not fear much about the abro-
CATION of the treaty. This is satisfactory
news, but nothing to be surprised at. Know
ing as we do here the sound and healthy
character of our local concerns we need not
wonder to hear that Hawaiian plantation
stock is in request in a country in which so
much money is always seeking investment.

By the mail steamer an invoice OF books for the
Government Library was received. The books
reached San Francisco from Boston just too late TO
be shipped by the P. NJ. s. S. Australia, but will
come forward by the first opportunity. The list
includes a number of very valuable works. Both
the student and the general reader will find this
accession to the library a very useful one. This par
eel cost 1929, and another will shortly follow of
about double that amount, We may fairly hope
that for the So. 600 voted by the Legislature for the
Library, a large and highly useful collection Of
books will be obtained. In this connection we
may take the opportunity to contradict the absurd
statement set ahoat many weeks ago, and lately re-
peated as if it were an acknowledged fact, viz,
that the appropriation for the Museum has already
been wholly spent. The first payment out Of this
vote was made the other day, being $3.50 for the
collection of shells bought from the representatives
of the Rev. Mr.. Gulick. This leaves a balance of
ST. $50 for future expenditure. Part of this we
venture to suggest should be spent en- coses for the
Musuem specimens, The collection of Japanese
minerals lately received lies hidden in boxes for
want of a case, and the marine shells are crowded
in such a way that there is not space for them TO
be named and classified.
