INDUSTRIAL POINTS.

The necessity for increasing pro-
duction on these islands is becoming
more fully recognized now than it
was at any former period. In the
flush times, when the Reciprocity
treaty stimulated the growth of
sugar, this staple was generally de-
pended upon as the mainstay of the
country, just as wheat was similarly
regarded in California after the "gol-
den age" of placer mining passed
away. But California now recognizes
the fact that it is not either safe or
profitable to depend upon single
crop, which is brought into competi-
ton with the production of the
world. Prices are necessarily beyond
the control of any producing country
in such case hence it is that the
natural advantages possessed by the
Golden State for viticulture and or
charding are being availed of, to the
neglect of wheat, to an extent which
must surprise anyone who investi-
gates the subject. Wheat is still
largely raised; but although Cali
fornia was the banner wheat State"
of the Union in 1884, its wine and
fruit crop in 1885 bids fair to equal in
money value the output of wheat in
the coming season,
The example of California in this
respect should be followed by Hawaii.
Diversified industries should be es-
tablished. Fruit of various kinds
should be raised; especially should
grapes be cultivated for wine-making.
The worlds market is open to us for
canned and sun-dried fruits ; why
not prepare to compete ? It would
pay in the long run, and induce men
of capital and enterprise to come to
these Islands.

FRENCH PENAL COLONIZATION POLICY.

The French Senate has passed the
which in the Chamber of Deputies
last year caused such an outcry in the
Australian Colonies. 1t is proposed
to ship some 10000 incorrigible cut
Threats and thieves to New Caledonia,
Guiana, and it may be also to the
New Hebrides group, should that
archipelago be annexed. There is a
very strong feeling on the subject in
the Australian Colonies, and it is
more than probable that law will
be passed by each Colonial Parlia-
ment prohibiting the landing of
Frenchmen on any part of the Aus
tralian or New Zealand coast. Earl
CarnarYon made the point in the
House of Lords that the Government
would be obliged to sustain the Colo
MES in such an event, whatever
might be the consequence with
France; and the present Secretary of
State for the Colonies, Earl Derby,
admitted that the Imperial authori-
ties would prefer a quarrel with
France to a serious quarrel with Aus
tralasia. 1t is hardly probable that
the New Hebrides will be annexed
by France with the consent of Eng
land, and as there is a long standing
agreement between the two Powers,
which was recognized by the French
Government last year as binding, it
is hardly probable President Grevy's
Government would risk a rupture
with England by violating it. The
New Hebrides were included in the
| dominion of New Zealand when that
Colony was established, but subse
quently it was excluded. The Aus
tralian Presbyterian Board of Mis-
sions, and the Presbyterian Mission
Union of Nova Scotia, have long oc
cupied the New Hebrides, where the
missions own large property, and are
greatly respected by the natives. The
French are detested in the New Heb
| rides.

OUR SUPPLEMENT.

Readers of the ADVERTISER will
find in to-day's supplement all the
news of the world, from the date of
the sailing Of the City of Toxic from
San Francisco for Honolulu, to the
day the Zealandia sailed thence for
this city. They will recognize the
enterprise of the P. G. ADVERTISER
Company in thus presenting them
with a complete summary OF the
worlds doings.. Our arrange
ments are perfect, however, and
hsnceforward the inhabitants of
Honolulu and the Hawaiian Islands
generally may rely upon the ADvER-
TIsER always keeping abreast of the
news, however voluminous.
The announcement of President
Cleveland's Cabinet, and the friendly
interchange of ideas between Cleve-
land and Blaine, are the most inter
esting items of intelligence, so far as
these islands are concerned, because
the inference is irresistible that no
sinister step will be taken regarding
W
dom. The Cabinet is composed Of
conservative men, which is satisfac-
tory sign in itself.
Preparations for war among the
Central American States are being
made. The trouble is owing to the
ambition of President Barrios, who
seeks to be President of strong
power. He is now Dictator of Guate-
mala, although styling himself Con
stitutionaI President. The American
and Mexican Governments oppose
Barrios.
But the note of war between Eng
land and Russia has already been
sounded, and it is difficult to see how
hostilities can be averted. This would
stimulate American trade and create
a demand for our island staple.
Gladstone is inclined to compromise,
but the English press denOunce him

length along. The climate is the

Africa. 1t now transpires thai
Zebehr Pasha, General Gordon's IA
vorite, was traitor all the time. He

British. Zebehr P asha is an Arab

petition to attack Peking. Minister
Ferry will ask a credit of 50,000,OOC
francs and 25, 600 men for the expe
dition.

INTERVIEWING.

The ADVERTISER interviewed lead
ing citizens regarding the policy of
issuing spirit licenses outside of Hon
olulu, and published a full and i'm
partial report in every case. The in
terviews were had with gentlemen
whose position and character en-
titled their opinions to consideration.
Neither political nor personal bias
was allowed to intervene. What the
gentlemen interviewed said was re-
ported, whether it made for or against
the Government policy. Our object
was to get at the truth, not to bolster
up any policy. This we certainly ac-
complished, and the public have not
been slow to recognize the value of
the service rendered in this particular
by the ADVERTISER. But a weekly
contemporary, the Press, makes an
assertion to the effect that we set
trap On local option, into which
''some few of our leading men who
are strong promoters of the cause of
temperance" fell. This is an imper-
Cl0ent TSuGCIlOu hpOA VIC AAbSIAlSCACS
of the gentlemen in question, which
they may be safely left to resent. For
ourselves, we set no trap, and there
fore no one could fall into it.
Having insulted its temperance
friends, the Press plucks up courage
and attacks the ADVERTISER. 1t
says: "But the position OF the de-
Tenders of these licenses is not sus-
tanned by the interviews published to
uphold the whisky cause, and their
line of argument is absolutely con-
demned by leading citizens with
whom they held interviews which
they dared not publish" This
is either true or it is false; and as it is
a matter involving the character of
this journal for absolute impartiality
in reporting, we propose to raise the
issue right here.
We pronounce the foregoing state
ment of the Press, regarding the AD-
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1885-03-23

vERTIsER'S interviews, as absO-
lutely false in suggestion and asser-
ton. 1t is untrue through all its
moods and lenses. We challenge our
contemporary to name any citizen,
"leading" or humble, interviewed on
the license question by any represen-
tative of the ADVERTISER, whose
views were not fully and fairly pub
Iished. If the Press does not make
good its charge of suppression, it will
stand convicted of malicious lying
an offense against good morals far
more reprehensible than habitual
drunkenness, which it regards as a
cardinal evil.
One word in conclusion. The at
tempt to identify the ADVERTISERS
with the whisky cause" is equally
unfair. The ADVERTISER is journal
of fact and opinion; but it does not
distort or suppress facts to bolster uL
its own set opinion like the 'temper-
ance" organ, which forgets, in its in
temperate zeal, the 'just damnation'i
pronounced in Scripture against those
who ''do evil that good may Gomez
For the rest, it may suit the Press tc
fight local option, but surely a con
stituency which is intelligent enough
to elect a Legislature to make oul
laws may be safely trusted to vote
for or against the sale of liquor.

KoHALA, Hawaii, March 20, 1885.
An attempt was made to burn the Union
mill trash-house a few nights ago, but
the fire was discovered in time to easily
extinguish it. 4 man was seen running
from the place, and it is believed it was
purposely fired.
Multi mill has again broke its spur
wheel, which makes another slight delay
in grinding.
1t is said that our new Sheriff instructs
the police not to make any seizure of

Mr. Smith of the Saturday Press has

heaps of nice things about Kohaia.
The Japanese .Iaborers in this district
seem to be giving great satisfaction to
those that employ them.
There is a move on foot to inaugurate
direct line of vessels from Kohala to the
Coast, thereby saving half of the present
cost of freight. The planters here are
| getting out of patience at the way they
are squeezed at every turn, and 1t seems
hardly fair that freights, commissions,
etc., should remain the same while sugar
is so low, thus throwing all the burden on
the planter.
Mr.. Smythe returned from Honolulu a
week since with n fair bride, and has gone
to housekeeping in the cottage belonging
to Mr.. Isle.
The experiment at Waiakea Mill, made
on Kohala plantation, should be hint
enough to the planters throughout the
Kingdom to demand the most improved
machinery at the mills where they grind,
or else demand their share of the trash
More money can be made grinding trash
than allowing it to be burnt, and planters
have right to demand all that can be go

KoNA, Hawaii, March IS, 1885.
Your correspondent in Kohala, in his
letter of March 9th, said I" that the re-
ligiously inclined Hawaiians had gone to
Kona." They went to Kau. We have
not much religion to spare. We have a
church every few miles, but such small
congregations that in some churches they
hold forth every other Sabbath. so as to
give the others n turn. In the way OF
religious teachers we have but few only
one Roman Catholic priest, who has so
many and far distant churches that he
can only get around about once in six
weeks. One old gentleman, who repre-
scented the A. B. G. F. NJ, has retired.
| There IS a half white minister here trying
to do good. There is a church on the
hill. 1 suppose it is for white people, as
it is very seldom that an adult native goes
! there. The number of others who go
| there are too few to mention. The minis
| ter has so much to do to look after his
grounds and in making jelly that people
here still believe that there are other
Gods than the one to whom the white
man prays. They think it all very we'll
| to pray to Him, but that we must not
forget to pray to our old gods and give
them things they like, or We shall have
them angry with US and give us trouble.
They make us i'll as it is, they say, and
we have to use our native doctors to get
US well from ills caused by the gods.
Foreign doctors, as a rule, can't do US any
good in such cases, but ours has often
helped us out. When we have foreign
disease we always go to him.
People can be prayed to death just as
much to-day as they ever could. 1t is
only a short time ago that a man was tried
for praying another to death. Some
times clothes are sent out to missions to
be sold, and some are bought because
they are of the right color to keep away
evil.
We have a man here who says he is a
brother to the great Mr.. Sala. He has q
school. On the Sabbath he holds forth
to a few children. He tells us we shall
all be punished in the future, while an
other white teacher tells US there is nc
fu ture and no God.
We never see any gold here, and we
cannot send postofice order if we owe
as much as so, unless we go one week
for a part and wait another week before
we send the other part.
Our roads are very bad. The rain has
come again.
The matinee performance of the Emerson
Minstrels last Saturday afternoon, as well
asthe farewell performance in the evening
was a decided success. The rain kept q
good many ladies and children at home
from the matinee, much to their disappOint-
ment. The house in the evening was fairly
well filled, though the weather continued
very bad and the Ministries acquitted them
selves with their customary good acting and
singing. Much regret has been expressed at
their being obliged to leave Honolulu fol-
the Colonies so soon, not alone by those who
have neglected to hear them, but also by
those who have done so and would like to
again.
