What IS being done to supply de
mand for more varied industries ?
First, Of course, ought to be noted the
nursery work and experimental forest
planting near this city. undertaken by
the government, under The direction OF
Mr. A. Jaeger The sympathy and
respect OF the entire community ought
to follow Mr.. Jaeger in this work and
the report he is preparing ior the forth
coming legislature will doubtless throw
light upon a subject which all com
munities are too prone to neglect It
is true that the experiment is rs yet
too young for the sure announcement
Of unquestionabe results. But enough
has been done TO encourage Us greatly
There has never been done anything bet
ter calculated to please the thoughtful
among our citizens than this work now
being carried on with such loving inter
est by Mr. Jaeger We cite with pleas
urc the successful experiment in the
manufacture Of poi -four. We note the
increased expectation Of bananas We
hear OF persons who are beginning the
cultivation Of ava on quite scale for
purposes Of export, the root being in
demand for ts medicinal properties.
Further than this we can speak OF
nothing encouraging in the way Of new
industries or of increased production Of
any OF our former exports. II taro
could fnd a market in San Francisco
as vegetable, it could undoubtedly be
successfully exported and yield a
larger profit per acre than our planters
average on cane. AT present home
consumption is hardly supplied and
without very large increase in produc-
ton foreign trade would not pay. But
taro can be raised proftably where
cane and rice would fail as a crop. 1t
is quite time that more attention was
paid to coffee culture. Men have tried
and failed. But it is not unlikely that
in other coffee countries adverse crops
have depressed growers and that they
have had to fight the blight too. 1t
could seem that this was too Important
an article Of export to deserve the fate
that it receives at the hands Of our
small farmers. The banana nade
thrives but much more might be ac-
complished in the export of this popular
fruit were growers on the other islands
encouraged to increased production by
regular steamship communication with
San Francisco. The gulches OF our va
rious islands are the natural home OF
the banana, and can there be cultiva-
ted at almost no outlay of money or
labor. But for articles OF export, ship
ment must be by steam direct to the
Coast. Until it is profitable for the
California steamers to touch at Hio

erably to our monthly outputs the

But can nothing be done towards
developing industries on the various is
lands hitherto untried ? We believe
much can be done, and that the mat
ter is of such national Importance that
some government action should be
taken at once. The agricultural re-
sources OF the country are such, and
our dependence on them in the absence
of mining and manufactures SO entire,
that il is very fitting that there should
be a commissioner Of agriculture and
forestry--one each or two in one
whose duties should be to aid the
material development Of the nation, by
the collection Of statistics, trials of
plants, introduction of valuable seeds,
experiments in fertilizers, attention to
facilities for shipment of products, de
lection of, causes Of and remedies for
blight and diseases among livestock,
and the dissemination of facts pertain
ing to island products thus helping 10
procure markets for large list OF pro-
ducts that do not now figure in the
export tables. As valuable adjunct
20 such department OF agriculture,
we would recommend the establish
ment OF stations for plant propagation
where the facts pertaining to the value
of a plant, its cost of production, and
It's adaptability to soil and climate can
be duly ascertained, The fact that
there are three schools with farms, and
manual labor departments, conveniently
situated one each on the islands of
Oahu, Maui, and Hawaii, is a forceful
reason why such stations should be
established, and established at each of
these three centers,. We refer to the
Reiormatory School at Honolulu, La
hainaluna Seminary at 'I.ahaina, and
Hilo Boarding School. The island
average in Climate, (whether OF rainfall
or temperature), in soil, IN altitude, is
fairly represented by these three locali-
ties, and whatever is found 10 thrive at
each is thereby shown to be well adap-
ted to our island conditions. With
but little expense important expert
ments in plant propagation could be
grated ON TO the manual labor depart
ments in these schools and untold
service be thereby rendered to the agri-
cultural interests of the kingdom. Two
OF these schools are wholly under gov
ernment control and the word needs
only to be uttered to begin experiments
at each. The Hilo school though in
dependant would doubtless aecede to
such an arrangement and very valuable
data nigh. there be gained relative to
the class OF new plants that would
flourish on windward Hawaii, long
fertile district Of great productive pos
sibili,ies and capable OF sustaining a
dense population. Experiments in
ramie raising are already in demand,

They were talking in the deep, rcli-
gious quiet of Mentors inner office,
The graybeard had listened to the dia-
logue without word, sad smile
playing about his kindly mouth while a
far-away look slept in his calm gray
eyes. Listen my children, to the

So, TelemachuS, have you. Your

The last resolution was evidently the
final triumph of the Gbsonian mind.
One may not fail to admire the mental
powers capable of SO finished scheme.
But language is inadequate to unravel
the Intricate imbecility of the premier's
course. There is a complexity OF in
appositeness about it which would do
infinite credit to a local Journalist I"
trying to be funny. There turks in its
profound stupidity something OF the
sublimity which doth crown the callow
dodo. If we had less veneration for
the exalted office OF minister of all
work, we should playfully suggest that
Mr.. Gibson resembles the male pro-
jcnitor of the longest-eared hybrid in
nature.
Is it worth while seriously to con-
slider this geometrcal progression OF
folly9 Yes, for ii will help dispel the
fond tradition that Mr.. Gibson is a

man. Everyone remembers how the
government organ ''whooped up the
contract with the mail company. The
advantage Of having Chinese brought
here under the best sanitary regulations
was dwelt upon with much picturesque
vigor Crusoe Gibson, or some one of
his merry men-l'ridays wrote as well
(as little badly on that topic as on any
the organ ever treatedr Shortly there
after, Mr. Spreckels came to town, and
rumor had 1t that that sunny gentleman
was 'displeased" with the lutte game.
So obliging Mr.. Gibson changed the

company for the rather finer sanitary
conditions OF line OF steamers that
existed on paper only. Everyone
knows the rest Everyone who will
