TOBACCO CULTURE.

More attention should be raised
to the growth and curing of tobacco
on these islands. 1t is an article of
universal consumption and demand,
and may always be counted upon to
pay, if properly manipulated. OF
course there are very many worthy
people who oppose the use of tobacco
in any form, except perhaps as sheep
wash, but they are in helpless mi
nority and cannot impress their
views upon mankind. AS the New
York Herald recently said:
Tobacco is the gift of America to man
kind. When the earliest discoveries landed
on our shores they found the Indian smok-
ing the pipe of peace and meditation. The
poor red man may disappear, but his pipe
will last until the heavens are burnt as a
scroll. A few plants were sent to Portugal,
and the product was regarded as such a
luxury that box of powdered leaves was
presented to Catherine de Medici, who took
such delight in its use that the herb was re-
christened as the herbe de la refine.

THE PROPOSED MUNICIPAL FRANCHISE

Our contemporary, the Bulletin, is
still harping upon the franchise, and
cites the retrograde policy of Nova
Scotia as against the practice and ex-
perience of the United States, and the
tendency of all intelligent and pro-
gressive communities. Manhood
suffrage is inevitable in England,
surrounded, of course, with necessary
safeguards to prevent the criminal
elements of society from par
ticipating in the franchise. Resi-
dence with registration are essential
to the exercise of the franchise in the
United States. A man convicted of
q felony cannst vote. In this coun-
try, however, there is no "rabble,"
such as the Bulletin speaks of, and
there was no excuse whatever for
drawing the narrow class line which
it did.
In its initial article, to which ex-
ceptiOn was taken by us, the Bulletin
outlined the kind of franchise it's
friends were prepared to grant for a
municipal corporation in Honolulu.
1t said:
A civic organization is demanded, which
shall represent the intelligence and wealth
of the city; respond readily to the throbs of
enlightened public opinion be capable of
dealing with emergencies of the public
health, morals, or safety, when they arise;
maintain civic service in all departments
according to merit instead of favor; sustain
the dignity and dispense the hospitality of
the city upon occasion; by annual account
of stewardship give the taxpayers an oppor-
tunity of intelligently discussing needed in-
provements, and possess, in short, all rea-
sonable powers of metropolitan self-govern-
ment
Such city government as that herein
advocated zoe can hardly hope to obtain I'M
der anything approaching rabbIe suffrage.
= The franchise lUoaLld hare to be made high,
determined by both property and educational
tests. Probably The most di 6fcatt thing about
the project scould be to procure the necessary
LEGISLATION that 1oould include a high fran
chise. stu, if the principal property
holders and the more intelligent calSses a7aite

the time Of day TO prove the health Of
women. He says: "What is the most
favorable time to see a woman in order
10 compose character synopsis? De-
cidedly, think, at breakfast and dur
ing the forenoon. AS general rule. If
she looks we'll then, she is 10 good health
if she dresses neatly, she is tidy; il she
is full Of projects for the mornings work
and executes reasonable number, she
possesses mental activity and bodily en-
orgy. Beware of the young woman who
complains Of being cold ia the morning,
who looks sickly, who eats little, who
comes down late, who appears TO have
dressed hastily, who ianguishes whole
forenoon over couple OF letters TO an
absent sister or school-fellow. No mat
ter how bright and animated she may
appear later on, avoid her. Lead her
not to your suburban villa; engage no
matrimonial apartments. She will not
make n good wife"

do TU The FkONT'
Dearest child, il sorrows legions
Press thee even to the hilt
If upon the field of battle
Tears and blood seem vainly split,
AT the rear thou shalt not linger--
In the van go bear the brunt;
They who feel the pulse of battle
Must go boldly to the front,
And # poverty assail thee,
DO not fear his spectre hand;
For, II thy own heart don't fail thee,
He will flee before thy hand.
AT the rear thou salt not linger,
There thy weapons will be blunt; ~
Victory is with the vanguard,
So go boldly to the 'front.'
If an enemy should Islander,
liza friend should do thee wrong
DO not fear to face injustice,
For the right is always strong.
AT the rear thou shalt not llnger;
For, when evil is to hunt
See thy arms are sharp and stainless,
Then go boldly to the front.
From the soldiers come the victors;
Out of danger heroes spring;
And thy hours of care and sorrow
Opportunities will bring
AT the rear thou shalt not linger;
For thy place is in the front
With the leaders of the battle,
With the men who bear the brunt
IT'S not rank, nor gold, nor fortune
Give to any man prize;
They are noble who live nobly,
All the frank" are brave and wise.
AT the rear the "fle" may linger
With their weapons dull and blunt;
But thy place is in the vanguard
So go boldly TO the front.

The Test Of Bravery.


Let child or woman fall overheard
and dozen men are ready to spring
after and save them That is bravery,
but it is bravery born in impulse. Let
a human face appear at tho window of a
burning building and dozen men will
risk their lives in the effort to extend
help. That is bravery born of pity aud
excitement. Let man but hear the cry
Of woman in peril and he will rush to
her rescue and deliver at any cost. That
is bravery, but it is the bravery Of honor
and chivalry. Let man be surrounded
by wolves and all escape cut of and he
will fight until pulled down. That is
bravery, but il is the bravery of despair.
1t is the battlefield which tests a
mans courage. A regiment is in line
on the edge of u woods. Between the
two is a meadow bare of the slightest
