California in the past twenty years,
one is encouraged in the belief that
the Hawaiian Islands will yet become
great wine producing country. OF
course there may be many disap-
pointments and checks to progress
before this result has been attained,
but it will assuredly be brought to
pass, if not by the enterprise of our
present residents, then by strangers
who will come and occupy the field.
The great Importance of viticulture
as an industry may be better illus
trated by quoting a few figures from
the California Viticultural reports
than in any other way. It appears
that prior to 1881 there were 10000
acres planted in grape vines in Cali
fOrnia, which are now bearing well.
The wine crop for that year was
about 100000 gallons. In 1851
10000 acres were planted to grapes,
and in 1882 about So, 900 acres ad-
ditional. The wine crop for 1882 was
small, being only 100000 gallons.
In 1889 the wine crop was still less,
being 100000 gallons. Tn that year
$4,000 additional acres were laid
cut in vineyards, and in 1884 Hast
year, 10000 acres were added to
the vineyard area of the Golden
State. The wine crop of 1884 was
rather over 100000 gallons.
There is no halt to increased vine
yard planting; but it's magnitude
may be estimated from the following
data In 1885-the present year
there will be 10000 acres in five-year-
old grape vines and upwards, the nor
NAL yield of which should be
100000 gallons of wine. In 1886
there will be los, 600 acres of grapes
starting at five years, and probable
wine crop of 2O.0O0,0OO gallons. In
1887 the acreage of five-year-old
vines and upwards will be 100000
acres, which should yield 125, 900, 900
gallons of wine and 100000 gallons
of brandy. In 1888 the acreage of
bearing vines will be 10000 acres,
with a crop return of 100000 gal
Ions wine and 100000 gallons
brandy. This calculation leaves out
of sight altogether the enormous con-
sumption of table grapes and raisins,
as well as preserved grapes, which
are to be found in every market of
the world. The money value of this
crop aggregate, from 1881 to 1888 is
simply enormous, and the economic
advantage is this, that one planting,
ordinarily, is all that is needed.
Proper cultivation and careful prun-
ing alone are needed to make vine
yard a perpetual bearer. We trust
many of our landowners will take the
hint, and begin operations next
season by procuring rooted cuttings
of the best varieties from California
and starting vineyards. They will
enrich the country and add to their
own pleasure and profit by so doing.

that they will be encouraged by the presence
Of big audiences at these final performances.
The company have done a great deal of
good, hard work while here, and made de
cided hits in several Of the plays presented,
despite the very serious drawbacks against
they had to contend. They are the first
regularly organized dramatic company that
has appeared here, and it is to be earnestly
hoped they Will receive the support that
their honest efforts to please deserve. We
bespeak for them bumper houses during the
few remaining performances. Let them
leave Honolulu with only agreeable recollec-
tons of the place.

A Criticism of a Criticism.

ED. ?. G. ADyERTIsER.-Sir In reading
the criticism on DR.. Cowan's poem by Ha-
waii Opio, in your issue of April 21st, I
naturally fell to criticising the pronuncia-
ton of the Hawaiian words, and meanings
thereof, just as the writer thereof himself
had done, being myself somewhat sensitive
on that point And if H. o. failed to give
as correct prOnunciations as he might have
done, it was because he fell into a rut
already made, and had not given the subject
enough study to effect a breaking away
from that rut. To get the true sounds in
pronunciation of Hawaiian words and put
those sounds correctly into their nearest
approximate English speaking requires an
attentive ear and careful study. Now to the
point In Ha-le-ma-u- III. O.'s idea of
which I believe is correct), just as hah the
most quickly conveys to haole the Ha-
waiian phonetic of ha so leh, and not lay,
should convey the most correct sound of lie,
&c lay seeming to me to be far from correct.
1t should be understood, also, that the 90
should be somewhat foreshortened in speech,
and not have the fully elongated sound of
two o's in English. This, as we'll as the
NAH, should be clipped. Layee, as the
phonetic of lei, should, on the same princi-
pie, be !ehee, the h, of course, being silent.
think Hawaiian scholars will uphold me
in the statement that Hawaiian speech has
no such sound as is given by the English
lay, the e always having the same sound as
in let, lemon, and so on.
Fern House - it should be, instead Of
q House Fern, " i. e., house of ferns, and not
fern whose favorite domicile or habitat is
house and that will give the true Ha-
waiian sense of the word. This is a very
interesting study to any one who has the
time for it, and desire to learn the Ra-
waiian pronunciation. HAWAII KEA.

California wines for Honolulu.

The last issue of the Merchant gave
particulars of the tariff, in Honolulu, 4n
California wines, and also mentioned the
fact that spirit licenses had been quite re-
Gently issued throughout the entire group
of islands. Now the benefit to be derived
from the general issuance of spirit Licenses
is predetermined. 1t will doubtless pre-
vent, to a certain extent, the indiscriminate
unlicensed sale of imported and home
made posons, but it will not etfectually
remove the curse OF drink from winch
many Of the natives are suffering 1t
would be far better that their stimuiants
should be of Il miIder character than those
at present consumed, better both for their
health and pockets. To effect this de-
sired result an alteration must be made
in the existing law regulating the sale of
liquors. 1t would be well to grant special
wine licenses to grocery stores, whereby
California wines could be purchased by
the bottle. Hawaiian legislators might
even 60 further and license the retailing
of light wines, by the glass, at the drug
store of the kanaka capital and other
main centers of civilization. We think
that the sale of light wines in competition
with the contents of - soda water foun-
tains" would tend to reduce the cOnsump-
ton of the latter frothy liquids, to the
great benefit of the health of the con-
sumner. California wines could be retaIIed
at ten cents per glass-the same price as
the vanilla lemon and strawberry mix
turee-leaving q good margin for profit;
moreover, there would be decrease in
drunkenness. We commend this point
to the attention of the Honolulu ADvER-
User, which is now doing good work in
the interests of our great California indus
try.-S. F. Merchant, April "A.

vlTICULTURE AND THE WINE TRADE.

We reprint from the San Francisco
Merchant short article relating to
the consumption Of California wine
In these Islands, which merits atten-
ton. While we do not quite endorse
all it's opinions, we admit that they
are deserving of consideration, be-
cause our San Francisco contempt
rary is very well informed upon the
subject on which it writes. We are
decidedly of opinion, however, that if
the consumption of light California
wines were encouraged, there would
be less drunkenness among the ma
tiyes, and we likewise think that it
would tend to their physical improve
ment.
But there is yet another side to the
question which we desire to present.
We are satisfied that grape vines
might be proitably grown on these
Islands, as well for the supply of the
table with delicious fruit as for the
production of wine. When one con-
siders what has been accomplished in
