A Substitute For Hemp.

The Tucson Tailings. of the 25th ultimo, speaks of Thomas Gill, former resident of that place and Quljotoa, as having perfected process by means of which the fibre Of the Spanish bayonep may be prepared for market in twenty four hours. Hitherto, 1t has taken about year to make the fibre ready for use"
 The botanical name of the "spanish .bayonet" is yucca, and is not species of cactus" as the Tailings says, but of tbe "agave,"n of which the aloe and maguey plants are also members, and grows politically not only in Arizona, but in the Mojave and Colorado deserts and throughout the western states of Mexico. The Tailings Is correct when 1t says that .the fibre is long, clean and strong, making an excellent substitute for jute, manilla, etc." It further says that lin Mexico 1t Is prepared by a tedious and laborious process for manufacture into ropes, which are as good after twenty years. as when first made. When the plant Is cut it grows rapidly and Is again ready for use within a year."
 In the issue of the ARIZONA SENTINEL of Saturday, December 18th, 1884, we had occasion 70 speak Of the utility of the yucca plant pulp as the basis of printing paper, and in that article we also dls- cusse3 the various uses made of it by the Mexican people. In some parts of Mexi- cd the fibre is made into paper, clothing and cordage, and the leaves. being tough and inpenetrahle to water, are used for roofing. It forms the warp of the we'll known Mexican cloth, known as "jerga" and also for the "over-all" called the sarupe. A few days previous to the issue of the SENTINEL referred to. the San Francisco Post contained statement to the effect that the London Telegram, (newspaper) iI order to secure cheap paper stock, had bought up large tracts of railroad land in the MojaYe desert, and that it would use the yucca plant pulp as the. basis of its paper. Since then we have not heard anything more about it, and the project has, probably, by this time, been abandoned. However, We hope not, for, if the project is carried out, Yuma, being on the line of the rail- road, where wood and water is attainable atasmall expense, will probably be the point at which the necessary machinery for grinding up the yucca will be put up, and the pulp shipped directly to New Orleans and thence to England by stas.So,: f1,I ''- :.

A letter from Mexico saws th

A letter from Mexico says the poverty of the country may be traced directly to the slovenly system Of farming which prevails. The agricultural resources are enormous. Though only one-fifth of the best land in the great plateau is under cultivation, it supports millions of people with u style of farming that would pro> duce starvation in the best sec tions of New York or Penn> sylvania. The Mtxicans sole con- ception of the utility of blowing is to scratch enough loose dirt to cover the seed, in a great major ity of cases the ground is never touched after planting.

We cannot see how a company of private persons can make a success of this Exposition. when the last one was such a gigantic failure, even after Congress had appropriated large sums of money to favor the enterprise. We charge the Company nothing for these remarks and trust that they may do well, but have no desire to try and induce people 10 go to New Orleans for the one purpose of enriching hotels and lodging house keepers, etc. There must be something higher; there must be some returns; some good 10 the people; and in the present case we fail 10 see where it comes in.

 Los Angeles Express: The re. port which originated in the Virginia Chronicle of a volcanic eruption in one of the craters south Of Mono Lake, and which is being extensively copied, hears the earmarks of our friend Jim Townsend, the most prolific and ingenious liar in the profession on this coast. Jim was the origl> nator of the "trade rat" story and many similar yarns, and no one is better qualified to discover a vol> canic eruption than that venerable skipper.
 Los Angeles Express: Statistics are valuable. Here are some that are particularly interesting: The whole number of Postmasters in the classes appointed by the Presi- dent is Z, ,263. The whole number in the class appointed by the Postmaster General is 51,000. President Cleveland has already appointed 450, and Postmaster General Villas $500. That is to say, at the present rate putting Democrats into office, the work will be finished, so far as MT. Cleveland is concerned, in about twenty months, and so far as MT. Villas is concerned, about sixty> eight months.

North, Centr al and South Amer
 ican Exposition

This Exposition will open at New Orleans November 10, 1885. The buildings will be the same used in the Great Worlds Expo> sition which closed last July. There may be some people In this Territory who may grow enthu- siastic over another Exposition in the City of New Orleans with. in year from the last one; but we do not think they will be those who were victimized at that time. The people of the Crescent City acted on the SUD- position that there was but one chance to get even with the world and that was to rob every stranger who had the bravery to set foot within their city during the six months of the Exposition, of every cent that could be squeezed out of them by fair meaus or foul, and by this same system of exhorbitant charges they made the Exposition a fail- ure tc large extent. Thousands upon thousands of people, who desired to go and view the many things there exhibed, stayed al home for the simple reason that they were fearful that their purses could not bear the strain of a weeks residence in New Or leans.

Honolulu Fire department.

Thursday of this week, June 4th, will
be the 28th anniversary of the organiza-
ton of the Honolulu Fire Department.
Engine Company, No. 2, was in exist
ence as early as 1852, but the department
was not organized until five years later.
Mr.. A. j. Cartwright was the first Chief
Engineer, and served as such a number of
years. He was succeeded by Mr.. Dick
Gillilland, who died in 1874. Then came
Mr.. Dick Nevil, who, while serving as
Deputy Sheriff on Hawaii, was killed in
a riot by some religious fanatics calling
themselves " Konaites.p The next
Chiefs of the department were Messrs.
C. E. Williams, J. H. Hassinger, Chas.
Spencer, James Lemon (deceased),
George Lucas and the present incumbent,
Mr. John Mott.
Mr.. Mott has served as Engineer in the
department eleven years, during three of
which he has been its Chief. From a
small heOinninn the Hnnol,-I-, H. IT,
partment has grown to be what it is-a
thoroughly equipped and well disciplined
body of men who, as their predecessors
have always done, take great pride in do
ing their work well when they are called
upon to battle with fire. and at all times
cultivate a friendly feeling with each
other, so that they now compare favora-
bly, with any like organization elsewhere.

TO THE HUMANE .

There is case for the humane in
our police report to-day. A little boy,
without parents or home, was brought
up as vagrant and committed by
Judge Bickerton to the Reformatory
School till he arrives at maturity.
This was the best thing the Judge
could do with him; but it is not the
best that society should do with this
helpless human waif of nine years.
Surely something might be done to
better his condition, and make life a
tTif1e attractive to this little father
less and motherless native Hawaiian
boy. If not, then hath our boasted
Christian civilization and elaborate
charitable and educational systems
weak joint somewhere in common.
The ReformatOry School has been
founded for the reclamation of incOr-
rigibles, and with every possible
allowance for care and efficiency in
the management of that Institution,
we venture to think that this help
less little orphan will learn great
deal more than he should from his
older GLASS mates. Of course, his lot
as a street child would have been far
worse. But we venture to put in
plea for him to the tender impulses
of our fellow citizens who may so
very easily provide for his support
and education elsewhere,

Mr.. Wudenburg's taut little steamer, the
James l. Dowsett, which arrived from
San Francisco last Sunday evening, now
lies at the Brewer wharf. She was visited
by large number of people yesterday,
and was spoken of very favorably by those
who are supposed to know what consti-
tute the good points Of an interisland
steam vessel. In the afternoon her cargo
was overhauled and good opportunity
was afforded for examining the vessel.
She is 100-ton boat, and car steam
ten knots an hour. Her length over all
is 90 feet, with 20 feet beam aud feet
depth of hold. She is therefore four feet
longer and two feet wider than the
steamer Mokolji. Her cabin is neatly
fitted up. Her officers comprise the fol-
lowing: Captain, John Smith; Chief En-
gipeer, W. Boyd; 1st Assistant Engineer,
Mr.. Johnson.
The James l. Dowsett steamed all the
way at an average speed of seven knots
per hour. The highest run made in one
day was $50 miles, on May 28th. Her
engines worked well during the run down
from San Francisco. The total consump-
ton of coal was seventeen tons.

of impure suggestion and disgusting
statement into the family circle, I'M
der the guise of harmless profess
sional advertisement.
Now, what can be said ofthe gall
of a newspaper, which prostitutes
itself every day of publication for
coin, by promising the hope of physi-
cal immunity to victims of vice and
immortality, while denouncing, in its
editorial columns, the practices it
stimulates for hire in another part of
the same sheet? And we ask every
hOnest-minded person what should be
thought of the limp morality of those
by whom such publication is sus-
tained2
We may be told that the advertise
ment in question does not now out
rage public decency as it did when it
first appeared under contract in TIE
Press. That is quite true; but it did
outrage decency when it appeared,
and it is the same advertisement with
its superfuOus encouragement to de-
bauchery cut out by the thrifty CEN
sOr, which now does by suggestion
what it feared to continue to do by
open and naked avOwal. Every head
of family, however; every man and
woman of the world; every reputable
physician in this community, will
agree with US in thus characterizing
the style of advertisement, which
the Saturday Press does not hesitate
to send into the virtuOus homes of
this city.
When the Press undertakes to lee
ture heads of families in Honolulu,
therefore, as to who and what man
ner of men they should receive as
visitors at their homes, its own hands
should be clean. But when the pub
lie knows that its hands are cramped
over coin, wrung from victims of Sin
by the physician of Vice, the stu
pendous insolence Of the Press censor
ship of private morals becomes some
thing to be wondered at, and-spat
upon by decent people.

TUESDAY
{" FROZEN CHEEK. .

The Saturday Press is the self-cOn-
stituted censor of public and private
morals for Honolulu and the suburbs
thereof. Acting in the first capacity
last week, it advised everybody to
poke his nose into every other body's
business, ffwith eyes wide open to see
whether they care for or do not care
for reform; and, if they do, what
sacrifices they are prepared to make
for reformW Reform" of what :?
" Sacrifices " for what If this Ian
guage or advice have any meaning at
all, it is intended to set the COM
munity by the ears. AS peace
maker, therefore, we advise our
neighLors and friends to give reform
busy-bodies the "cold shoulder" at
all times and in all places, and if that
treatment should not be effective,
then let them be told in as plain and
vigorous English as can be used, to
mind their own business. There is
no need to make sacrifices" for
anything in particular in this cOun-
try that we can think of, except it
may be on the part of those who
speak through the Press, and who are
never happy unless they are stirring
mp strife and making enmity among
neighbors. The result is a super
structure of cant and hypocrisy which
is really the only thing about the
entire community standing in press
ing need of reform. BY all means
let it be reformed bodily out of exist
ence.
But it was in its capacity of censor
OF private morals that the Press Of
last Saturday exceeded itself It's
article headed Young Men in Our
Homes was the chilliest specimen
OF what a witty American calls
"frozen cheek" that we ever stumbled
upon in any "chaste family and re-
Iigious journal" like the Saturday
Press. This will be understood when
we state that the self same paper con-
tanned an advertisement of 'medical
expert" far more suggestive, far
more insidious and eorruptiDg in tone
and tendency than any possible con-
tact of youth and innocence, in the
home circle, with the most Gun
scrupulous blackguard eve quote
the Press to be found on the "home
visiting list' of the families whose
morals and manners are in the keep
ing of that paper.
Our contemporary speaks, of course,
from actual knowledge of its own
" set,v and although we should regret
if its remarks were fully borne out by
facts, we venture to suggest that the
worst that can be said of the social
stratum which it condemns so en-
phatically is not half as bad as what
might be said about itself as cor
rupter of youth, by the introduction

standing which, we send 500, 200, 900 every
year to foreign countries to pay for sugar.
Our Government subsidies the sorghum
industry to the extent of $4,000 a year
Sorghum contains but little over three per
cent of crystalizable sugar. We get from
the beet from ten to eleven per cent. But
the United States Depar tment of Agriculture
cannot be made to see that the only solution
of the question of home production Of sugar
lies in the beet, but continues year after
year to pursue the sorghum phantom at a
cost Of $50, 900 year"
