HOLERA is rapidly NOV

order to prevent disastrous
effects from its ravages every
preventive should be en-
ployed, and the system
should be in perfect condi-
ton. At this season of the
year the system is in a weak
state and easily susceptible
to dangerous disease. Pain

situde, headache, dyspepsia,
indigestion, kidney and liver
complaints are but the result
ofneglect. During the last
visitation Of cholera to this
country no medicine was
found equal to Mishler's
Herb Bitters, both as pre-
ventive and cure, and it has
been equally successful in
all the diseases above men,

THE HAWAIIAN WOOL CLIP.

Heretofore little attention was paid
to the wool product of these Islands.
! Sheep were raised more for mutton
than for wool, and in several instances
a good deal of money was made in the
business. In the handling of the wool
! clip, however, there was not shown
any great skill, and most certainly
the owners did not realize much
profit. Wool was shipped to Aus
tralia, which was like sending Van
couver Island coal to Newcastle, N.
S. W., for market. It was bought
by spectators, and freight and
charges about ate up the returns.
The United States were tried with
about corresponding results. America
produces enough short staple, greasy
bury wool to serve its own purposes
without importing similar staple
nom the Hawaiian group. Then
Canada was tried, and after waiting
eighteen months, returns were re-
ceived for woody burrs and not for
bury wool. Clearly Canada was not
field where Hawaiian wool was
likely to go largely into consumption.
Several parcels were sent to GERMANY,
but although better returns were OBJ
tanned from there than from any other
point to which eonsignments had
been made, it was not the market for
our wool. Where that market is was

When Mr.. Hoffnung was out here

them to send their clip to London on
consignment. His Excellency Mr..

Messrs. G.. w. Macfarlane & Co. sent
some of the Spencer clip by the City
of Paris. Mr.. Hoffnung took per-

" RESULTS OF DUBIOUS POLICY. y

The Bulletin" publishes the fol-
lowing from the London "Times, y
transmitted, as all that papers
American news is, by its Philadelphia
correspondent:
PHILADELPHIA, June 24th.-The Govern
ment of the Sandwich Islands has appointed
Commissioner. Mr.. Daggett, who has Just
arrived at San Francisco, to visit Washing
ton in order to open negotiations for the
admission of the Sandwich Islands to the
American Union. Most of the various in
terests in the Hawaiian Kingdom are now
controlled by Americans, while the existing
Reciprocity treaty provides for the mutual
exchange of products. The views of the
American Government on the proposal Of
annexation have not been announced
We saw this publication in the
"Times," but took no notice what
ever of it, inasmuch as it was only
the canard which appeared in the
San Francisco press telegraphed as
serious fact by the Philadelphia cor
respondent of the ''Thunderer." That
the dispatch was sent and printed in
good faith by the 'Times" is un-
doubted, but that it should be copied
and commented upon by Honolulu
newspaper is indeed surprising.
And the grounds of its adverse ccm-
ment are more surprising still. Be
cause the present Administration has
appointed two American citizens to
represent this Kingdom, in different
capacities in their own country, after
having served the American Govern
ment creditably in this one, we are
told that the impression will be con-
veyed to Europe, and especially to
England, ''that the Hawaiian King
dom is bankrupt and anxious to sell
out at any sacritce;' but that should
the sale not be accomplished, sit will
be concluded that the United States
holds mortgage upon the country
which is not worth while forecIosing."
These conclusions are at once illogi-
cal and absurd, and the Bulletin" is
in position TO know this for itself
without reminder from US.

its departments, 1t will be found TO be uniformly

events, the consignors had reason to
be satisfied, as they got nearly double
the sum they could possibly have
realized in Honolulu. To show that
the wool sold upon merit, however,
it may be added that the buyers have
since written inquiring whether any
more wool from these Islands was
coming forward.
During his present visit Mr.. A.
Hoffnung has not lost sight of, the
wool interest, and we understand he
has completed his purchase of this
entire seasons clip of the island of
Niihau. The price has not transpired,
but it is understood to be entirely sat-
isfactOry. Payment will be made in
Honolulu. The Importance of this
transaction will be understood when
it is stated that the clip ia ques-
ton will amount to about $500
pounds of wool. 1t will be shipped,
of course, at Mr.. Hoffnung's risk and
placed on the London market, to the
great advantage of our wooI-growers
generally.
The Lanai wool returns last year
having been SO satisfactory, this sea-
sons clip is being forwarded Oh con-
signment to Mr.. Hoffnung, who will
do the best he can to get the top
price.
In this connection it may be pointed
out that very great advantage would
arise by making one firm or agent
the consignee for the native wool
crop of these Islands. He would
have greater facilities for handling it
to advantage than a multiplicity of
agents could have, because a single
agent would necessarily make the
market a study and would know just
when and where to place the clip to
the best advantage. This is certain
to be the case in greater degree when,
as i'll our case, the total clip is small
and has not an established reputa-
ton. 1t would prevent Injurious
competition by agents, and tend to
establish certain demand for our
wool staple.
We make these remarks generally
in the interests of the woOl-grOwers,
and without any reference whatever
to their standing business arrange
ments. That wool is certain to be-
come staple export in the future is
beyond doubt. In our judgment it
will very soon take rank next to
sugar. The development of sheep
farming in the Falkland Islands of
late years should be an incentive to
us. Beginning with a few head of
sheep, there are now half million on
the Islands, and Mr.. Hoffnung is per-
fecting arrangements for Australian
steamships to call there and take on
board frozen mutton for the London
market. New Zealand last year ex-
ported to London 48O, 900 carcasses of
sheep, and will send near million
this season, while Australia and
South America are in the same field |
Of operations. The wool export of |
and New Zealand now far
exceed their gold product.
The American market is open to
these Islands for frozen mutton, and |
he English market is open to our
wool. Why not apply ourselves as
'iduously to developing this industry |
~ utilizing all natural pastures? In /
his connection advantage should GER
ainly be taken of Mr.. Hoffnung's
presence here to establish regular
WOOL agency for this Kingdom in
london.

any other, to the welfare of this coun-
try. In other words, it was urged
that Hawaii should virtually surren-
der its independence and pass under
the protection of the United States.
Mr.. Gibson's determined opposition
to ceding one inch of Hawaiian ter
ritory to any foreign power, or batting
one iota Of the independence of this
Kingdom, resulted in his elevation to
power, in the fullest confidence of the
King and the Hawaiian nation, who
| are the parties most nearly in interest.
Is it likely, then, that this Admin
istratiOn, so constituted, would be-
tray the trust reposed in it by King
and country? Surely the Bulletin"
imagined that its Opposition friends
were again in power, and that nego-
tiations for the sale of the Kingdom,
with considerations personal to them
selves, had been resumed at the point
where Mr.. Gibson's intelligent pa
triotism broke them off.
foundation in fact for the story in the
London "Times." 1t all grew out of
a paragraph in the ADVERTISER on
the day Mr.. Daggett sailed, to the
effect that the ex-Minister had been
entrusted with a mission to the
United States Government. We did
not state its object, but this omission
was very soon supplied by the
imaginative brains of San Fran
cisco reporters, and their inven-
ton was accepted as a fact
by the unimaginative gentleman
who furnishes stale American gossip
to the London "Times." 1t is suf-
hcient to state that Mr. Daggett has
been entrusted with matter of BUSH
ness which will probably be put into
the hands of the Hawaiian Minister
at Washington to complete on his
return from his holiday trip to Ger
many. So much for the secret mis-
sion and sale of the Kingdom.
With regard to the dubiousness
Of employing foreigners in the public
service Of Hawaii, the practice follows

no doubt, by the paucity of gentlemen
qualified for such appointments from
which to choose. For example, one
of the first Commissioners of the
United States to this Kingdom, Mr..
Allen, became Chief Justice of the
Kingdom, and ultimately the Kings
ambassador at Washington, in which
exalted position. he died. Mr.. Pierce,
another American Minister to Ha-
wall, travelled in such capacity with
the King to promote the Reciprocity
Treaty, and was afterwards made
Minister of Foreign Affairs. Mr..
