hope to attain there? There does not
seem to be in Hawaii any more promi-
uent position than that of farmer, and
would these persons contemplate spend
ing other three years or three and half
years OF their lives In cultivating the
sugar-cane fields? That is prospect
which may be perfectly consonant with
the ideas of simple farmer, but it could
not be otherwise than distasteful to per
son OF the education and with the ambi-
tious views We have described.
We do not wish to see these people
emigrate to Hawaii, but we would fain
learn that they had decided to try their
| fortunes in America. America Is a large
country, where many and various Indus
trial undertakings may be carried on.
She is at present the center of civiliza,
ton, and the young healthy gentlemen Of
our country could not find better field
for tho exercise of their intelligence anG
ability. At any rate, they should no
| trouble themselves about the insignitican
sugar-cane fields of Hawaii.
