GROW MORE FRUIT.

Our advice to everyone in these
islands is-plant fruit trees and raise
more marketable fruit. It is certain
ly anything but creditable to the
country that it does not raise enough
fruit, and we may add vegetables,
to supply the limited local demand,
but depends upon imports from the
Coast. The fact is, we should
be shipping largely of our fruit
products to the States, but the only
variety we send is bananas. We
could raise every kind of eitrOus fruit
in these islands without irrigation,
and they would be in marketable
condition at a period of the year
when they would command the high
est range OF prices in America.
Oranges grow in profusiOn in wild
state, but they would be greatly inn
proved by cultivation. Lemons and
lines would likewise grow well.
There is no reason why peaches,
apricots, cherries and plums should
not be cultivated extensively. Pears
and apples would grow well on the
higher attitudes; also berries of every
known variety. Yet next to nothing
is being done in this direction to
utilize the soil AMI climate which
bountiful Nature has placed at the
disposal of the inhabitants of this
Kingdom. Men keep oil grumbling
about "hard times" but do no.
thing to soften the times and make
business more elastic. Diversified
industries are the sole hope of the
country, if it is to become the habita
ton of an industrial and progressive
people.

GERMAN OPINION OF HONOLULU.
[FRoM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT

BERLIN, May Is, 1885.
The "Official Gazette announces
that the Emperor William has al
lowed Captain Mensiug and Lieu
tenant Geissler, of Fl. NJ. S. Prince
Adalbert, to accept and wear the
Royal Order of .Kalakaua, conferred
on them by the King of the Hawaiian
Islands. The visit of this German
cruiser will probably be still remem-
bered at Honolulu, and the following
extract from a private letter, written
by an officer on board, which / find
in leading German journal, will
therefore be of interest to readers of
the p. e. ADVERTISER Coming
from Yokohama, we anchored on
November 1st in the outside roads of
Honolulu. Next day, which was a
fine Sunday, pilot took us into the
harbor. The same afternoon our
Captain attended the funeral of a
member of the Royal Hawaiian fam
lily Mrs. Bishop. The Obsequies
came off in completely European
style, but with great pOmp and cir
cumstance. During our stay we fire.
quently visited the city of Honolulu,
which is finely situated, and shows
marked advance in culture. The
Government building contains rich
museum of antiquities and natural
products, besides gallery of portraits
of all the Sovereigns, male and fe-
male. Life in the capital of Hawaii
is not deficient of pleasures, and all
wants of Europeans can be satisfied,
though at high prices. There is even
roundabout, the property of Ger
man, which is much used by the
brown beauties of the land. The sur
rounding country is well cultivated.
The foreign laborers include numer-
Gus Germans, some of whom, being at
variance with their masters, sent a
deputation on board, with a request
to our Captain to assist them. Our
Commander naturally refused to in
terfere, and referred them to the
German Consul. On the day of our
departure, November 10th, King
Kalakaua came on board of our ship.
The King is an imposing parsonage,
with the manners of a man of the
world. His little body-guard num-
bers sixty men, all over five and a
half feet high, well built and sturdy.
They wear the Prussian uniform,
that of the I'd Foot Guards, are well
instructed in the use of their arms,
and altogether make an excellent inn

ENGLISH POLITICS.

The defeat of the Gladstone Gov
eminent on the beer and spirits duty,
and the accession of Lord Salisbury
and the Tories to power, has changed
the whole political current of the
times.
The British public would have
stood an increase of the income tax,
or an increase on the wine and tea
duties, but it would not stand any
tampering with the taxes OH gin and
beer. This is the rock upon which
Gladstone's ship of state has been
wrecked; and it is very remarkable
that it was a combination between
the licensed victuallers and the estab-
lished church clergy and dignitaries
that defeated the first Gladstone adj
ministratiOn at the polls and brought
in Disraeli. 1t is true that then as
n0w the Liberal Government con-
tanned the elements of dissolution
within itself Mr.. Gladstoue's great
weakness as a Minister has been,
that although he was unquestionably
the recognized national leader of the
Liberal party, his Governments have
been practically Coalition Cabi-
nets.n That is, he undertook to recon-
Gle the Wing and Radical wings of
the party, and to drive Ministerial
team composed of leaders chosen
from both sections. That he has sue
ceeded as well as he has done is the
greatest proof that could be given Of
his splendid talents as an organizer
and his personal magnetism as man,
But outside all this, Gladstone's
foreign policy has been a conspicuous
failure. 1t was without any clearly
defined purpose. In short, to quote
his own characterization of BeacOns-
fields foreign policy, in his famous
Midlothian campaign, it was a
policy of Modelling and muddling.
The Egyptian war, followed by the
Goudan fiasco and the Afghan fizzle
Aiisgusted the British people, and pre-
pared them for any change of Gov
eminent which promised more Wig
orous foreign and colonial policy.
This they are likely to have under
the Marquis of Salisbury's admins
tration, if it can hold together and
weather the general elections.
The Irish question is apparently
the key to the situation. If the Con-
servatives PROFOUND large measure
of local selfgovernment for Ireland,
and refuse to renew the Coercion Act
they will capture the Irish vote. This
viii probably be done. Concessions

there is no local demand for pork. In the

BERLIN,June 11th.-German diplo-
matists aIlege that one of the causes
and the greatest of the resignation of
the Gladstone government was the
failure of the secret mission OF the
Earl of Rosebery to Berlin. These
diplomatists now assert that the
object of that mission was to secure
reconciliation between Gladstone and
said to be the failure of the Right
Honorable Joseph Chamberlain
secret mission to Paris. Chamber.
lain's trip to Paris was, at the time it
was made, announced to be simply
for pleasure and recreation. Officials
in the Kaiser's foreign service declare,
however, that Chamberlain was sent
to the French capital by Gladstone
for the purpose of obtaining from NJ
de Freycinet, the French Minister o.
Foreign Affairs, an Anglo-French al.
lance in Egyptian affairs. This was
to be based ON unequal shares in the
control of the country, the English
control to be paramount, the con
sideration to be accorded France
being an embassy from King John o
Abyssinia, the establishment o
which in the Khedive's dominion'
and its relations with England would
prove cOunteractive of italian de
signs. It is declared that the failur'
of both these missions greatly dis
couraged Gladstone, who, losing hear
at the discovery of what he believed
was the deep hostility against Eng
land entertained by her immediate
continental neighbors, suddenly
awoke to keen sense of the failur
of his foreign policy and concluded t.
abandon political life.

IN A FOG.
Progress OF the SurVey-WOrk at the
survey Department.

Mr.. Joseph Emerson, of the Survey Bu
reau, came back from Hawaii last week,
being compelled to suspend the work of sur
vsying the Kona district on account of the
bad weather. Mr.. Emerson has done large
amount of work on the seashore, aud it was
while he was inland, at an elevation of about
G, 200 feet above the sea, that he encountered
thick fogs and drizzly rains. He says that
in the first week of June, from Monday to
Thursday, his party had about two hours of
fine weather. The rest of the time the fog
was so thick that one could not see a hun
bred feet distant. Some Of the party shot a
pig but lost it in the fog, and they also lost
their camp for a time.
While at Kailua Mr.. Emerson explored
the famous cave called Laneakea. The en-
trance to this cave, or tunnel rather, is on
the old Thurston premises. After entering.
the visitors followed the opening for dis
lance of about 1000 feet towards the sea,
when they came to salt water. This used
to be favorite bathing place for the chiefs
in old times.
From Mr.. EmersOn's notes an accurate
map Of KaiIua is being prepared, and when
he finishes the interrupted work it will in
clude the entire district of Kona, once one
of the most thickly populated in the group.
The surveys already made show that many
Of the holdings of land are from so to $50
feet wide, and from four to five miles long.
Some of the strips are longer and narrower
| than this, but the dimensions given are
about the average.
In the rooms of the Survey Department
there is a map of Maui, nearly finished, by
Mr. F. S. Dodge. This map is on a larger
scale than others that have been made of
the island, and gives more of the details of
the intricate system of gorges, ravines aud
deep valleys, than has been attempted
before.

Gorgeous Golden Trout.

There is a trout in Whitney creek,
a tributary of Kern river in Kansas"
said a veteran New York angler, ''the
like of which does not exist in any 9TH
er water of the globe. 1t has an abode
of its own in the upper waters of the
creek, and it is not invaded by any of
the other breeds OF trout which swarm
in the waters below, simply because it
can not be got at by them. The reason
of this is very simple. About six miles
from the head of the creek there is a
perpendicular waterfall $50 feet hirh.
The rock down which the water tum-
bles is solid and smooth on its face
from base to summit. There are no
protruding lodges or hollows at short
intervals on the rock, by means of
which other trout, with leap after leap,
from ledge to ledge and hollow to hol-
low, can scale this watery precipice as
they do in the case of thousands of
high waterfalls elsewhere, and no trout
OF salmon that ever climbed from
mouth to head of the steepest noun
tain streams can 90 up this sheer fall
OF $50 feet Consequently the trout
above the falls have never been dis
turbed by interlopcrs of different va
riety, and they live by themselves in
the pure, cold water, the most splendid
family of fresh-water fish
They are fish literally bespangled

spots of the brightest crimson. The
first time | ever saw one of these trout
| actually thought it had been orna-
mented by the person who had it with

taken from the water and the sunlight
strikes them they glitter as if they
We're clad in brilliant armor. They
are called the golden trout. Their
habits are the same As the ordinary

the same aud fight as gamely. Their
flesh is no better. 1t is their beauty
alone that places them at the head of
this great fish family, noted for its
beauty. ."-Ne10 York sun.
