be safely entered upon if future pro-
gress can be relied upon. The cru
cial question is-what are the indus
trial prospects of the country? Other
countries in periods of deep CONNER
cial and industrial depression have
boldly struck out in policy of pro-
noting immigration and constructing
internal communications by the aid
OF borrowed money, and have found
the speculation an eminently repro
ductive one. Bnt these countries had
large undevelOped resources, ,apd room
for many people. Can we, in view Of
the present prospects Of the market
for our chief staple say the same OF
Hawaii? That there is room for
much industrial development here,
independent of sugar, we firmly be-
lieve but it will be slow in growth
compared with the way in which that
industry has sprung to great proper
tiOns. The motto of the day therefore

viduals would appear to be go

Editorial Articles.
FROM THE DAILY P. c. A.

a LARGE number of petitions have
been presented to the Legislative As
sembIy and a considerable number of
resolutions have been introduced by
members, the objects of which are to
secure the execution of public works
in various parts of the country. Here
a road is wanted and there Il bridge,
elsewhere a W aarf, landing, or a
breakwater, at Lihue a hospital and
somewhere else a lookup and Court
House. Sometimes ridiculous petit
tion are presented to our Assembly
and sometimes resolutions are pro
pounded which do not bring their
movers much credit for common
sense, but SO far as we have been able
to ascertain all the proposals for local
present time been presented to the
Assembly are for useful and much
needed improvements which will not
merely be conveniences to individuals
few or many but will assist in the
development of the resources of the
districts which ask for them and will
therefore be in the best sense of the
word productive.
AS to how far the need for these
and other works has been foreseen by
the Government, and, if so, in what.
manner they propose to provide for.
them, we are as yet in the dark. On
the estimates Of expenditure for the
fiscal period the following items are
mentioned: - Custom House and
stores, Mahukona, $500; ditto Hilo,
So. 600; kerosene warehouse, $1,000;
building and repairs of COurt-hOusesi
and lock-ups, $4,000; completion of.
lighthouse BARRIERS Point, $1,000;
new wharves and repairs Honolulu,
$40, 900 There were also a few appro-
priatiOns for repairs to Government
buildings and other works. Since it
is evident that the greatly increased
internal traffic of the country which
has necessarily accompanied its in
dustriaI progress renders it most de-
sirable, if not absolutely necessary
that new and enlarged facilities
should be provided for, it is evident
that a large sum of money is needed
in addition to that for which the or
dinary revenue of the country is able
to provide. 1t is possible that some
in other things may be
made but these will not go very far
in the way of providing for the public
works which every part of the country
is crying out for.
There are two ways of dealing with
this question-tO DO without these
public works or to run into debt for
them. The example of other countries
in the same stage of infant develop
ment that Hawaii has reached points
TO the latter course as one which may

THE report of His Honor the Chief
Justice has been presented to the As
sembly. 1t contains an account of the
business transacted in the Supreme
and lower Courts OF the Kingdom dur
ing the past biennial period with very
full statistical tables. The latter Oc-
cupy thirty-One pages and give in de-
tail the number and character of the
suits determined and charges heard
in all the Courts of the Kingdom with
the nature of the decisions given.
The most important parts Of the
report are the suggestions offered by
the Chief Justice in regard to several
points connected with the administra-
tiOn of the Department. Referring t.
frequent appeals from the Interme-
diary Court of Oahu and the Circuit
Courts on the other islands in cases
where those Courts have themselves
only dealt with appeals from the Dis
trict Courts, thus giving three trials
of the same case, he recommends that
appeal should be allowed either tOthese
Courts or to the Supreme Court, but
not to both. Those who have watched
the working of the present system
cannot but support this view of the
Chief Justice. To quote one case out
of hundred we might refer to Il suit
about the ownership of a pig which
was not worth many dollars which
was hotly contested before the Police
Justice and, ,on appeal, in the Interme-
diary Court, and was then carried be-
fore the Supreme Court and a jury,
involving costs to the extent, no doubt,
of several hundred dollars. His
Honor renews his former recommen-
datiOn that the Circuit Court on Maui |
be held in future at Waikiki instead |
of Lahaina. The present arrangement /
is undoubtedly both incOnvenient |
and expensive to far more than half |
of the population of Maui. y new /
Court House at Waimea is recon-
mended. On this subject His Honor !
remarks that "creditable surroundings /,
tend to make the Courts of Justice I
more respected, and are aids to good /
government" In conjunction with /,
the Associate Justices he urges that /.
the laws on the subject of Divorce be /.
made more strict, believing "thaU this /
Will tend to strengthen the sacredness /
of the marriage state" The Statute .
of Descent the Chief Justice considers
should be enlarged to include the /
next OF kin" when the heirs emu I
merated in the statute fail. 1t is very .
strange that the statute is in the con-
ditiOn to need this amendment. His .
Honor asks for a shorthand writer TO
be provided for the Courts, also an APP
preparation for reprinting that much
sought for book Vol. I. of the Hawaii
an Reports. The subject of drunken
ness is impressively dealt with in the
Report. His Honor suggests further
restrictive measures, the nature of
some of which he indicates. The fact
of the very large increase in convic
tions for drunkenness and for breaches
of the liquor law demands the most !!

and the Legislature and we sincerely
hope that judicious amendments of
the law will be made and that they
will result in better state of things.

Why They Quarreled.

In country town where l once lived
as boy the virulence with which two
men hated one another was quite a
proverb. Mr.. A. and DR.. B. had once
been intimate friends, and though one
was Tory and the other a Radical,
had agreed to differ; they could even
afford to rally one another upon the
vehemence of their respective opinions.
"For all your high and dry princi-
ples," said B. when the news came OF
Queen Caroline's acquittal, ''you will
have toilluminate your house tonight. "
"There shall not be a CANDLE" re-
turned A. defiantly.
The next morning DR.. B. met his
friend and congratulated him, since the
violence of the mob had been very
great, that he had thought better of his
resolution and taken the prudent course
of lighting up his house.
al did nothing of the kind" said A.
''Then | don't know what YOU call
lighting up; it was SO well done, how
ever, that | hear the mob gave you three
cheers"
THAT is false" replied A. excitedly,
and-not to go into painful details-a
blow was given and returned.
The fact was that A. had gone out to
dinner, and his wife, in spite of his in
functions, and preferring unbroken
windows to principles intact, had lit up
the house without his knowledge. A.
and B. went to their graves without ex-
changing another word with one an

In answer to numerous questions

but the best attainable by maintain

from the first to the last day. This
growth is made on waste milk, with

Greely's Pluck.

That Lieutenant Greedy should have
survived so many OF his physically SUI
perior companions is cause for much
establishment among his friends here,
as he is described as the most delicate
of the party, and the one who would
naturally be expected first to succumb
to the hardships which the party en-
countered. A naval officer who was a
warm personal friend of the lieutenant,
says that undoubtedly he owes his life
to his indomitable pluck and the vigor
which he always devoted to any task
devolved upon him. As an instance of
this pluck the following anecdote of his
boyhood was related: "When a little
boy not more than sixteen years old,
Greedy visited an uncle on his farm in
Vermont. One day the uncle had oc-
easion to use the grindstone, which
may be found in every New England
door-yard, and loosely offered the boy
five cents if he would turn the handle
for two hours. The offer was accepted
and the little fellow began to turn. In
less than half an hour the perspiration
poured from him in streams; fifteen
minutes more elapsed and the tears be-
gan to mingle with the sweat of his
BROW but he still turned away man
fully. Then the uncle told him to
stop, that he had turned enough, and
could have the five cents without
more work. But the boy declined to
stop and worked away, although crying
with fatigue. He stuck to that grind
stone until the two hours had elapsed
and he was laid up for some days after
ward. Knowing the man as | do, | do
not hesitate to say that he made mp his
mind to surmount the obstacles and
Oring his party through, and that it
was his mental superiority that proved
of more value to him than their physical
strength did to the unfortunate seven
teen. Washington Cor. N. Y. POST

Punched Coin in Cuba.

Santiago de Cuba is nearer to New
York than some of our big western
cities, but it is more curious and out
landish than any place of its size out
side of Asia or Africa. 1t is time
worn, stained, dccrepit old town, such
as one might expect to find in the moon.
1t is a piece of bric-a-brac among the
cities of the earth. New Workers reach
it in five or six days sail by the
steamer Santiago or the Cienfuegos,
both of which touch there after leaving
Nassau, then go on to Cienfuegos, and
there turn and go back to New York.
New Workers should feel an especial
interest in Santiago, because that is
where nearly all the "coins with holes
in them went from this city. When
the storekeepers united to drive mutt
lated money out of town, bags and
chests full of it were taken on every
steamer that went to Santiago. Now
seven-tenths of the change in use there
is of this sort. A Santiago storekeeper
looks with distrust on al American dol
lar, and much prefers a Mexican,
Gillian, or Peruvian one, but he will
scrape and bow at a handful of five and
ten cent pieces full of holes. 1t is Just
so in Cienfuegos, but in Matanzas and
Havana the currency is paper money,
and gold is quoted at 250.-N Y Sun.

wellington and Waterloo.

| wellington frequently exhibited an
almost unparalleled generosity. His
thoughtfulness, too, and love for his
soldiers were marked traits in his char
acter. When the terrible day at Water
100 was over, it is said that the Dukes
feelings, so long kept at the highest
tension, utterly gave way, and that, as
ne rode amid the groans of the wound
ed and the reeking carnage. and heard
the cries of the vanquished and the
shouts of victors, fainter and fainter
through the gloom of night, he burst
into tears. Soon after he penned let
ter which concluded thus: 81 have es-
capped unhurt; the finger of Providence
was on me-" And later on he wrote
the words: "My heart is broken by the
terrible loss have sustained in my old
friends and companions and my poor
soldiers. Believe me, nothing except
battle lost can be half so melancholy as
battle won. The bravery of my
troops has hitherto saved me from the
greater evil; but to win such battle as
this of Waterloo, at the expense of so
many gallant friends, could be termed
only heavy misfortune but for the re-
suit to the public"
The following morning DR.. Hume
fastened, by the Dukes orders, to his
tent, there to read to him the terrible
list of the dead and wounded. He
found the Duke asleep, but, not daring
to break his commands, awoke him,

raised and clasped convulsively before

his cheeks. In moment the Duke was

recovering himself, looked up and
