'Tis said that Miss Matilda Chase
contemplated making q will shortly
before her death. The document.
however, was neglected, and all her
property therefore goes to her only
sister living-the wife of the Rev.
DR.. Samuel Ridout of "White Hall y
North Severn, this county. It is
stated that few days before she
died Miss Chase said to member
of her household that she had had a
presentiment that she would never
again see white Hall, !" and she be-
lieved her time on earth was short.
The dream impressed itself so vividly
on her mind that it was always be-
fore her. Although she was assured
that dreams were merely idle fancies,
Miss Chase for some time refused to
be comforted, and appeared so wor.
ried over what the dream had told
her, that she sent for relatives and
friends and communicated the circum.
stance to them. The estate is repre.
sented to be worth $4,000.

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

The Mount Diablo coal mines, worked
for quarter of century, will close down
in couple of months, according to the
San Francisco Bulletin, because there is
no money in them. There was not very
much money in them legitimately from
the start, the coal being of a wretchedly
inferior quality; but A. A. Cohen was
alchemyst enough TO turn the brown coal
blocks into gold ingots in the crucibles of
the Central Pacific Railroad Corporation.
''It is better to be born lucky than rich"
is a maxim of proverbial philosophy
which Mr.. Cohen is said to be fond of
quoting. While Messrs. Stanford, Croker
& Co. assent to its practical wisdom they
regret, in their secret souls, its perfect APP
plicability to the original Mount Diablo
coal mine and ferry monopolist.
Another deal in stocks is to be engin-
eered in San Francisco if possible. Hale
s. Norcross is the sheet anchor of the
manipulators, whose press stipen-
diaries are reporting wash sales,
and imposing upon public credulity
by declaring them to be genuine
transactions. The frigid truth is that the
bottom has fallen out of the stock market,
and that the sooner the stock exchange is
closed the better it will be for all con-
cerned. The lean and hungry crowd of
unkempt and unwashed operators "
who hang around Pauper Alley and daily
Al. e. al
gomery streets by their vile spew are all
that is lett of the throng of hopeful and
confding fools who consented to be shorn
by the shepherds of Nevada block. A few
unwomanly females yet frequent the
brokers' Offices, and "give points - to
their friends, whom they assist to swindle
out of their money, on " turn of the
markell for a very trihing commission.
The glory and glamour of Safeguarding
is gone, with its fast horses and fast
women. All that is left of the painted
Jezebels of the "good old times " are the
mud-hensn before mentioned. The
silent waters of the bay, the dishonored
grave of the suicide, wrecked homes and
broken fortunes, tell the tale of those evil
days, while the triumphal cars of the
Bonanza kings roll by, splashing the mud
from their revolving tires upon count
less victims of their crimes. To assist in
reviving such scenes is an offence against
public morals which should be sterDly
repressed. Yet the San Francisco press
whine about dull times in Pine street.

DULL TIMES.
Honolulu, March 9, 1885.

While We are complaining of dull
times in these islands, it is well to
look abroad and examine the csndi-
ton of other places. If we do so In
spirit of candid inquiry, we shall soon
come to the conclusion that we might
easily be very much worse off than
we are. Dull times is the monody of
trade all over the world. Business
seems to be controlled by croakers.
In California, last year, they took
absolute control, and whatever bust
ness was transacted was practically
forced upon them by the necessities
of the population. Business is reviv-
ing in the Eastern States, however,
and there is brighter outlook ahead
for all American industries. A
wholly different condition of affairs
obtains in Great Britain and on the
European Continent. The following
extract from a London dispatch in
the New York Times puts the case in
q nutshell, as it were. It says:
"Land is still falling heavily in
value in Scotland. A farmer recently
paid e1, 500 ($7, 5OO) for the privilege
of surrendering leasehold of farm,
and 8 property has just been sold for
GI6, 900 ($s0,000) which few years
ago cost e27, 600 ($135, O00). Such facts
have led great French financier to
make the startling prophecy that a
few years hence the European CONT
men will be nothing but casino for
the white races of America, Africa
and Australia. Agriculture in Europe
is played out, he says. and her factory
and mining industries will be SINH
larly supplanted by the coal fields
and petroleum of Russia, and by the
mineral wealth of America, China,
Australia, and the still UNEMPLOYED
mountains of New Zealand. This
alarmist winds up with the consoling
remark that England may make a
livelihood as a training place for boys,
because its climate favors open-air
muscular exercise"
Let us take heart of grace there
fore in Hawaii, and settle down to
steady industry. We have only tried
one great staple, which is at a low
ebb owing to over-production. There
are other things to try, as cotton
and fruit. Varied productions will
restore prosperity, attract population
and promote the happiness of the
people. Dull times would soon pass
away before improved industrial con
ditiOns.

Hishwnxs and Bxwaxs.

The Road Supervisor has anything but
a sinecure in the task of keeping the roads
in and about Honolulu in order. The late
dry spell has left all the principal avenues
running parallel with the water front worn
INTO shallow holes, which are standing full
of water from the late rain. 1t is not known
exactly what he thinks when he looks along
the length of King or Beretania streets
towards Waikiki, and sees them dotted all
over with puddles that must be filled with
material which will probably blow away be-
fore the summer is over. The streets men
toned are so nearly level for long distances
that the problem of how to drain them eff
fectively is not an easy one to solve. There
is no doubt plenty Of advice to be had if the
Road Supervisor stands in need of it, but
probably few loads of good road metal
would better supply his immediate wants.
Meanwhile there is quite quantity of sur
plus debris on Queen street, near Kawaiahao
churchyard, that should go to make land on
the Esplanade. 1t is an eyesore where it is
now.

COFFEE SUPPLY OF THE WORLD.

During 1884 the total export of cot
fee from the Hawaiian Islands was
4,231 pOunds-not very large guam
tity, it is true, but better than moth
ing. The estimated supply from the
crop season of 1856 is 662, 900 tons.
The contribution of these islands to
that vast total is hardly worth speak
ing about, but there is no reason why
it should not be increased very ma
terially in future years. There is
money in raising coffee. The worlds
market is open to US. Why not ship
it to New Zealand and Australia in
stead of compelling those countries
to buy Java coffee from the Dutch
factories? We have a monthly line
of steamers between Honolulu and
the Colonies available for freight, but
our production is too small to be
counted upon as an export. This is
not as it should be. Let an intelli-
gent effort be made to raise coffee for
export, and it will repay those en-
gagged in it. Large fortunes may not
be made at it, but great deal more
than expenses will be earned, which
was not the case generally in the
sugar business last year. An idea OF
the demand for coffee may be gath
cred from the fact that last years
consumption of importing countries
was estimated at $50, 1892 tons.

strike terror into England, they say,
and subvert authority everywhere in
Europe. That they may make an
attempt is probable /; that they will
succeed is improba bic. Nevertheless,
economic condit ions are not equitably
adjusted, and there is a great and
heroic task before practical statesmen
to reconcile the conflicting elements
Of society, and harmonic the war
ring interests of capital and labor.
But there is another duty equally
pressing upon statesmen. 1t is to
preserve order; to uphold law and re-
press anarchy. The anarchists of
modern days are enemies of the
human race, and should be promptly
suppressed. Instead of waiting for
them to mass their forces and attack
organized society, they should be
everywhere hunted in their holes AMI
made examples of. O'Donvan Rosa,
Most, and men of that ilk, should be
taken hold of and consigned to prison
for safe keeping, or surrendered to the
Governments of their native coun-
tries. They are not Americans. They
went there when it became impossi-
bic for them to live longer at home,
and it is preposterous to suppose that
| they should be allowed to continue
their criminal career on American
soil. The law and constitution, it
may be said, protect them as political
refugees. Very true, but neither the
law nor constitution is intended to
protect foreigners domiciled in the
States in wrong doing, or to find them
a shelter while they levy war against
humanity.
1t is fortunate that we are without
this disturbing element in Hawaii
This is not congenial soil for propa
ganda against constituted authority
Native Hawaiians are satisfied with
the Government as it is, and the
white population have no reason to be
dissatisfied.

who forsook Safeguarding and took
manfully to the road, is languishing in
San Quentin.
The ironmasters of San Francisco did
not succeed in forcing a reduction in
wages on their operatives, who went out
on strike a few days ago. The pretense
was that they could not compete with the
low-priced labor of the East. The men
said, and truthfully, that it was because
they were not content with Eastern profits,
railroad freights between Eastern points
and San Francisco being more than equal
to the difference between the wages of
skilled labor on the Pacific Coast and in
Philadelphia or Pittsburg. This fact was
we'll known to every one who gave the
subject thought. It is remarkable, how
ever, that this assault upon labor was
made by Irving N. Scott and other cham
pions of protective policy. The echoes of
| their voices on the stump, pleading on
behalf of Blaine and high wages for
| American labor, had hardly died away
when they combined to nullify the very
policy without which, they said, Cali
| fornia working men would be degraded.
1t is safe to predict that the blatant hum
bugs who lead the Republican party in
California will succeed in utterly estrang-
ing the intelligent working men. If But
Ter has only force enough left to make
canvass next Presidential election, he will
sweep the country from Maine to Texas.
The Prince of Wales acts wisely and
courageously in going to Ireland. If he
were to remain there for two or three
months with his family every year, there
would soon be an end of Fenianism,
and Mr.. ParneH would sink into insig-
nifcance, or simply become useful as a
member of the Administration. Queen
Victoria is greatly to blame for the de-
plorable condition of affairs in Ireland.
If she had paid an occasional visit to that
part of her hereditary dominions, there
would have been no reasonable cOmbin-
ations against her :. crown and dignity.
