NOTES..

The auckland Weekly Nens in late issue
states: 1.-The Waikato farmers seem to be chill
ling off little with regard TO the sugar beet bust
ness. They have probably been reading the ac-
the Australian papers of what is taking place, or
likely to take place, i'll the sugar industry in
Queensland. The painful truth is making itself
apparent that there is no sugar in it. 1t is no
wonder then that the Waikato people fight shy
of the thing, and refuse to take up shares in the
proposed company, II they cannot grow sugar in
Queensland to compete with France, it is quite
certain that they cannot do it in the Waikato."

SoME prison statistics which in the course
of a visit we happened to stumble across,
are interesting and are worth examination.
There are at present 173 prisoners in jail
of these four are women. who are en-
ployed in washing, sewing, mending and
so forth
of the 1863 men we found that the Gov
ernment used:
On mule teams, 8 men; ON scow, 81 men;
at Insane Asylum, men; at the Station
House, Omen; Government Buildings, etc,
"a men. Total 75 on Government work
This leaves 81 men for whom employ
ment must be found OF these say 9 are
employed in various prison duties. such as
washing, securing, etc, and say 5are unfit
for hard labor through sickness, we have
a residue of so men for whom the jailer
has to furnish employment. Enquiry as
to whai employment? elected the fact that
if not let out to private parties for garden
work, they were put TO work at the prison
quarry, picking stone, of which there is
now large quantity on hand. This stone
which some 10 or so men are engaged in
slowly picking out, might, by the use of a
little giant powder, be obtained in almost
unlimited quantities with the labor of half
a dozen men.
Now let us leave the prison moment
and take look at the roads Every one
will acknowledge that they are in a bad
condition There is part of Liliha street
which is a very slough of despond;n the
condition of Princes street is disgrace
to civilized community; and there are
sections of other roads which cry aloud for
repairs How comes it that the Minister
Of Interior does not employ those so prison
ers, for whom the iailor has to rack his
brains to find work, in repairing the roads.
The responsibility of this must be put
where it belongs, and the shoulders that
have to bear this charge are those of the
Minister of Interior He certainly cannot
be ignorant of the fact that 80 prisoners
are doing unremunerative labor, he cannot
be Ignorant of the fact that theroads need
a large amount of labor expended on them.
1t Is crying shame that with so much
needing labor, the prisoners are not util-
lied to good purpose.
1t certainly is not the fault of the jailor.
All he has to do is to keep his men en-
ployed to keep them out of mischief, and
if the Minister of Interior is too apathetic
to require them for public works, why he
must put them at anything that is handy.
viii the functionary who occupies the
Interior Department deign to reply, why
the prisoners are not used on the roads?

WEDNESDAY, APRIL s. 1885.

IS to days issue will be found the table
Of Domestic Exports for the first quarter
Of 1885, published by Col Iaukea, Collector
General In the output of our great staple
there Is 4 considerable increase as com
pared with the same quarter last year.
This increase has been caused not only
because there has been larger area under
cultivation. but because the cane has given
a better yield in almost every district.
With regard 10 all other articles of export
there Is an apparent increase in three ar
ticles. viz: bananas. wool and sheep skins,
while dried bananas make their first ap-
pearance for the initial quarter of the
wear. All other articles of export show a
falling off in quantity.
The increase in bananas. 81 punches, is
so small as to be merely nominal. There
has been really no increase in wool, but
the stock Of last quarter has been kept on
hand and has helped to swell the returns
Of this
The falling off in rice Is due to cold
wind in the spring of 1884, which caused
a loss OF % per cent in the first crop Of
that year; there was nothing to carry over
so the second crop had TO be largely drawn
on for home consumption. 1t no longer
pays 10 export paddy, which may now be
regarded as swept out of our export list.
Molasses, in consequence of the heavy
grain crop in the West has no market
value in San Francisco at the present
time. When grains are scarce, the brew
cries use our molasses; at present the only
buyers are the Vinegar Works, and these
use but a small quantity.
The comparisons in tables such as these
are often misleading The only thing that
Hawaii can count as having made real
gain is in its great staple. Our smaller
industries have got to wake up to the
necessities OF the times.

We love these fair islands. with their
serene skies, tropical verdure and gentle
climate The conditions of living are per
fcctly adjusted TO the wants of childhood
and OF age. The peacefulness Of the en-
vironment soothes the worn nerves and
rests the tired brain. There is no fear Of
pestilence or famine, of wars or biting
poverty.
the causes which elsewhere produce
national disaster. financial crisis and gen
eral discomfort do not exist here. What
ever public misfortunes or distress we have
are Of foreign importation, or due to the
folly and mistakes Of those who misguide
the ship OF State.
Loving tins country rs we do. believing
in It's capacities for good and for the gen
cral happiness. believing also-in pure and
enlightened government, wenever hesitate
to condemn the useless follies and mis-
takes, as well as corrupt practices of its
rulers
We are sorry for those who deem that
their necessities require silence-of them
on such matters But it is inspiriting to
note the manly, vigorous and intelligent
tone Of the independent press, and of the
community as a rule.
The truckers to official influence deceive
no one. not even themselves.

 elan my physicians; there is so much embon-
 point and coup d'etat in pluraD, dragged my trunks to the carriage myself, and shout ed to the astonished hackman: "An extra dollar if we catch the Canada Southern!' How that man did drive. Rackety swat over the pavements of Toledo, over a telegraph messenger boy on this corner and within an inch of going over wheelbarrow at a cross more active than the messenger boy, and so got out of the way. Over the bridge, like an arrow, in spite of legal prohibition, down to the Island House, and here we are. I thrust the hackman's pay and extra fee into his honest palm, had the trunk off the car riage before he cauld touch it and whirled it up to the baggage room. s'Troit!" yelled. 'sLively now@have tick't in min'tl" Away flew to the ticket office, knocking people right and left, followed by the inspiring cheers and pleasant remarks of the multi tude. ''Tick't, 'Troit!" I shouted to the agent, snatched up my ticket, threw down my money, ran away without my change and found my trunk checked. I seized it by the remaining handle, yanked it off the truck and hauling my now affrighted family along with the other hand, flew toward the track where the Canada Southern should be stand ing. But quiet, grave looking man with railway uniform on stopped me.
 "Where are you going" he said quietly.
 E'Detroit!" I yelled. "G'out O my way, T I'll ride ye down."
 "But your train is not ready" he said per suasively; Git doesn't start for nearly an hour yet. You should not get so excited. The baggagemaster will take care of that trunk and will call you when the train is ready. The waiting room is just at that farther end of the station."
 Any mans watch is liable to run down and stop, but that is no reason why the people who loiter about railway stations should be fools. There is too much broad, glaring publicity about our American railway sta tions. There should be more privacy, more exclusiveness. At every railway station where people of the upper classes are liable to be !nisled as to the; standard and running time of inactive watches and thus be led into somewhat extravagant action, there should be long, deep, dark hole, about if teen miles long, extending under the nearest range of mountains, for the citizens of the upper classes to retire into until the coarse hilarity of the vulgar crowd has expended it.
