THE ORANGE CROP.

1t is often stated that it does not
pay to gather oranges which grow
wild in this country, and certain it is
that but few of them are marketed.
But inasmuch as they are in season
at time when oranges are scarce in
California, we fancy it would pay to
gather and ship them to the Coast if
in excess of the local demand. The
quality of Hawaiian oranges is supe-
rior to those grown on the Coast.
Nevertheless it there pays to buy
land at 5000 to $500 an acre and plant
and cultivate oranges. 1t is calcu-
lated that the orange crop on several
farms at Riverside, San BernardinO
county, California, will this season
average $500 an acre. With such re-
suits possible, we really think that
something practical might be done
with the orange crop on these islands.
Tahiti is shipping oranges to San
Francisco, where they find ready sale.
And Boston fruit house has con-
tracted with several Florida orange
ries to forward regular shipments of
their crops by steamer to London.
The pioneer shipment under this
agreement was made about the mid
die of last April. These incidents
point to the availability of oranges as
a paying crop in these islands.

INTERNATIONALLY KICKED

And so the Saturday Press has been
kicked, metaphorically into the gut
ter where it belongs, by the parties
whose interest it sought to protect.
When the ideal has been transformed
into the real, and the thing spoken of
has become the thing done, then
shall there be consolation in the
thought that justice has not quite de-
parted from these islands. The fol-
lowing is its wailing confession of
last Saturday
We labor on for the public veal to get
more kicks than approvals from the parties
whose interests we seek to foster and pro
tect, from the fact that the principle
every man for himself and the dew! tt'--
the hindmost' is so general.
It is very evident that the people Of
Honolulu have formed a correct esti-
mate of the nature and value of the
public services rendered by the Press,
while that publication entirely mis-
judges its own character and perform
ance. If there be an agency more
than another which has brought the
Hawaiian Kingdom into contempt
and disrepute abroad-and there have
been several labOring to the same end
for selfish and sinister purposes-that
agency is the Saturday Press. Mount
ing the temperance hobby, it has run
full tilt against public and private
credit, misrepresenting every act and
effort of those who did not belong to
its own small cOterie. And now,
when an insulted public intelligence
refuses to indorse it's evil course, it
has the meanness to complain of un-
requited virtue and devotion to pub
lie duty. Let any candid person take
up Saturdays Press, aud, judging it
upon its merits as a newspaper, let
him say whether the transparent
purpose and intent of its publication
is not the abuse and misrepresenta-
ton of William G.. Irwin & Co. and
Colonel Claus Spreckels =? What else
is there in its columns deserving a
moments consideration ? We shall
have something to say hereafter re-
garding this misrepresentation and
abuse; but our present object is
simply to record our satisfaction at
the just punishment with which this
business community has visited a
Press that prostitutes it's columns to
the uses of private malice and
| detraction.

The Friend has taken our advice
and kept out of the filthy pool of local
politics this month. But it chafes at
our reproof, and ostentatiously de-
clares that it is above advice, which
is an exhibition of petulant folly that
detracts from the average value of its
opinions. "Hear counsel and receive
instruction that thou mayest be wise
in the latter end" are the words of
wisdom, which must be familiar to
the Joint responsibles of the Friend.

EXPORTS AND IMPORTS.

Saturdays ADVERTISER contained
q detailed statement of the exports OF
domestic and foreign products for last
April, from which it appeared that
1894, 1854 Al represented the total
value of domestic merchandise ex-
ported during that month. To-day
we print the summary of imports for
April. The total value of imports was
$234, 1862 20; but inasmuch as S49, $50
was in gold coin, the merchandise
imports stand at $1S4, 4S2 20. This is
very small showing, and is not
altogether explainable by the fact of
dull times" or "over stocks" In
truth, stocks of saleable merchandise
are low, and there must soon be con-
siderable importation to keep availa-
BILE lines up to the demand. There is
every inducement also to import at
present low prices in the States, for
should the anticipated war in Europe
go on, American manufactures will
unquestiOnably advance in price.
The drawback to the import trade
is local. Our merchants cannot take
advantage of the favorable market in
the States, on account of the uncer-
tainty regarding exchange. They
understand full we'll where the re-
sponsibility for this unfavorable con-
dition rests. 1t is known to every in
telligent person in the community
also, despite persistent efforts to Gre
ate false impression through news
paper publication and otherwise.
Time, however, which rectiffes all
abuses, will remove this one also.
Meanwhile, it is imposing a heavy
and wholly unnecessary embargo
upon the trade and commerce of
these islands, whose welfare it sell
fishly ignores.

the next moment poor Dorothy felt that
she had disgraced herself forever before

thrill, a sort of culver Of emotion, to it,
as it said,-

AS she lay in the COOL dark, room,
But out in the quiet burying place
They curved for her form a tomb.
And laid her there in. the sweet mild noon,
While her playmates stood about,
And the preachers words We're full of gloom
AS he murmured something about
The delicate flowers that fade in the nom
And are laid by the reaper low,
And into the depths of his voice were born
The sounds of a nameless woe.
And he took the pale, sad, mothers hand
And said, "Why need you weep?
Some time, somewhere you, too, shall stand
BY the side of the babe that sleeps.
And the tender light that used to fail
From her golden curls and her eyes
Shall glow more bright, when the Master
calls
You to the land of the skies"

Though weary my heart and heavy as

And after he life on earth is done
