In connection with the subject Of

the query presents Itself as Ia ohethcf
hog raising has not a promising outlook

years past OF late, some attention hts

what seemed ianeyptloes have beenpald
for known grades We know OF none who
have taken hold OF hog raising as =
business at these islands and yet W. feel
safe IN asserting that At no time could
the market bc considered gluttcd but
ON the contrary, the demand is such
that full figures arc continually main
tanned SO laf rs We arc informed this
business IS mostly in the hands OF
Chinese, but It has neither method nof
system. Small tracts of ground, cult

fattening food as may be desired iof
swine are available in all directions,
and should he occupied prohlably in

our markets with choiCcr and healthier
pork than possibly can be had under
the swllI or general ioraging system. In
raising hogs for butchcring, improved
breeds might also be raised for supply
| ing farmers demands instead OF paying
abroad for all needed in this respect.
Some steps have been taken by a few
people looking to this end, but more as
side issue or speculation than as a
legitimate business. Without doubt ii
is worthy OF consideration as regular

VIII CONGRESS SUSTAIN CLEpE-
LlNDD

Recent advices from the United
States show that the fight for honest
coin is making good progress. II was
no small thing to have the question
brought to square vote, and though a
proposition to suspend the coinage Of
the buzzard dollar was defeated in the
House Of Representatives by major
ity of "a, a careful analysis OF the vote
and of the composition Of the next
house SO far as known, shows that the
silver men are fighting losing battle.
Although neither of the political parties
are by any means sound on this ques-
ton, il is undeniable that the prepond.
erance OF financial heresy is to be
found in the ranks of the democracy.
The majority in the recent vote con
sisted of II8 democrats and az re-
publlcans, the minority Of s4 demo
Gratis and o. republicans. In other
words of the 26S members present and
voting, more than two-thirds of the
democrats voted for the eighty five
cent dollar and only one-third of the
republicans. The democrats have a
majority of IS members in the present
house while in the next house theiI
majority will be only 81 or 3S. As a
change of only II votes from the one
side to the other would have left the
silver men in minority, and as there
is no reason to suppose that the re
publicans in the next house will con
tain any larger proportion of silver
men than are found at present, 1t may
be pretty safely assumed that the mex
house will contain majority of mem
bers willing to sustain President Cleve
land in the position on this question
which he has already announced
Should the proportion of silver men il
the two parties remain as at present
there will be I4s Of that school agains
la6 OF their opponents, clear major
ity on a full vote OF 10 in favor o
sound money. Add to this the decide,
stand taken by the incoming presiden
and the almost imperative politica
reasons for maintaining harmony in tn
ranks Of his supporters, and We hav
good foundation for the belief that tn
days of the cheap dollar are fully mum
be,ed

The following facts concerning the career
and death Of Joshua Knox Osgood, a near
relation Of Mrs. Gideon West Of Honolulu, are
taken from the Kenncbcc Reporter Of January
3Ist, published at Gardinel, Maine Mr..
Osgood was born at Gardiner, Maine, Noyem-
Der II, 1916. His education was confined 10
the common schools Of that period. In his
youth he was member Of the Methodist
Church in that city and was prominent in the
old WashingtoniaH Temperance movement
but in after years he became addicted to in
temperance and thereby sacrificed his business
prosperity for the time being although retain.
ing his friendships and the sympathy Of
the Community. His better nature, however,
| lriumphed in time, and in the spring Of 1879,
with three associates he organized what has
the Reform Club. After that time Mr. Osgood
was great worker for temperance reform, and
| before his death was instrumental in organizing
over 600 clubs with an estimated membership
of about $4,000 souls. In 1880 the Prohibi.
ton Convention at Augusta nominated Mr.
Osgood for governor, but not wishing to dis,
| harmonize the temperance movement by ris4
Of political division he Withdrew from the con,
test. He was a Mason and member OF the
Methodist church and Of different temperance
organizations at the time Of his death, which
took place at his residence, at the New Mill,
in the town Of Gardiner, Maine, on the 28tl

districts where the recent authorization
applies have never, in any way, either
by public meeting by memorial OF

the government in making this move is
as plain as the nose on the face Of the
minister of foreign affairs, viz to re-
ward some OF the crowd OF political
tools or court bummcrs 10y the bestowal
OF what is supposed to be a valuable
franchise through which they can line
their pockets at the expense of the
public, and at the same time pander tc
the baser elements of our population
with a view to rallying them to the
support OF the present administration

programme. Let this fact be clear

OJR CHtRGE ESTIHLISHED

In our modest effort to secure fair
play for those interviewed on the local
option question and the recent privy
councils action of extending liquor
licenses we are accused OF talsehood.
The journals enterprise in sending an
interviewer through our midst has
apparently not been duly appreciated
by us. In our anxiety that faithful
record be given of the views of those
sought by our contemporary, " that
the government may see how few SYM
pathizers there are to this late act of
theirs" we have belittled this effort of
the court journal to get on local option
ground 1t was unjust of us ; it was
unkind to new laborer in the field OF
Honolulu journalism, the court journal
doubtless thinks. We know not which
to admire most, the jealous regard OF
its new editor in the reliability of the
ut,erances of the Advertiser or his
strong faith in his interviewing emissary.
Either is commendable, but both com,
bined have famed his indignation
aflame and the journal demands of US
names and proof for our assertion that
they met views by citizens which they
dared not publish, and therefore cries
for "bIood" Now, it is not the frs
time that the journal has sought tc
brand us infamous, but each time i
has attempted to do so it has signall>
failed. How faithful it has recorded
the interviews published We leave tn,
interested parties to decide; but W,
would like to jog the interviewer
memory relative to his queries to ;
prominent citizen who told him il
reply as to what he thought Of tn,
councils action "that he had beer
lndulging in hopes for the future OF thi
country, but that this move actuall
) made him feel sick |" Is this the onl
omission from the number inter
viewed We will let the journal an

sake, it was the only dissenting view t
the action of the privy council, then
inasmuch as it could give no comior
