THURSDAY September oath
THE HILO RESOLUTIONS.

We direct attention to the report of
an interview with Colonel u. S. Spald-
ing, of Kauai, on the Hilo labor reso-
lutiOns, and generally also on the
management of contract labor, which
appears in another column. It will
be found to be very interesting and
instructive reading, and we recon-
mend those who have been building
upon the HilO planters resolution for
political effect to ponder upon the
common sense remarks of Colonel
Spalding. 1t is very evident that
the HilO Planters Society was used
by certain political wire-pullers, who
had objects of their own to serve; but
we have sufficient confidence in the
intelligence and manhood of it's mem
bers to feel convinced that they will
placexthemselves in a true position
before the country on this question
without loss of time.

LahaIma.

We have been handed the following
extract from letter recently received
from resident of Lahaina, the ancient
favorite resort of Kings and Chiefs:
"You think [ must be lonely in La
haina. You are right. The social glory
of Lahaina is gone. 1t reminds me of
Sleepy Hollow With the exception of
plantation laborers, every man, woman
and child almost seem as if they were
walking in dream, or had been buried
alive, and were only waiting for the
Archangel's trumpet. Aquiet, comfortable
place for a man to make his viii in. No
noise, no disturbance, no rattle of cart
wheels, not even drunk for six weeks.
The very cats seem to walk on tiptoe,
and the dogs lie silent in the sun or the
moon, as if afraid to wake the echoes of
the sleeping town."

SUGAR.


Cuba.-StOcks on August 29th were
1928 tons, against II ,S54 last year.
Sales during the week amounted to the
bulk of 10000 hhds. The remaining
holders of small stocks left are reported
by cable to-day as not disposed to sell
even at basis of 80 cents, C. & f. for
80 deg, at which price there are buyers.
Philippine Islands.-Cable advices to
August 31st show sc, 300 tons had sailed
for the United States since January 1st,
against 52,183 for the same time last
year; 40, 747 tons are now afloat for the
United States, against 26,579 tons at
same time last year. Stock in New
York is II 800 tons under same time last
year.
Trinidad, August 22d.-The crop of
1885 is ascertained to be $4,000 tons, the
largest crop the colony has made. The
weather continues much too dry for the
growing crop, and the canes everywhere
are backward.
Pernambuco, September 2d.-Rains
have begun, which means an important
delay in receipts of new crop sugar.
Beet Crop.-Reports remain un-
changed. France continues buying
Javas. German estimates name 100000
tons shortage as the minimum for all
Europe All indications of the week
point to an increasing belief in a very
large shortage. Gable message says that
that ga reduction in yield is expected,
besides the reduction from loss in acre
age, as rains are reducing the richness
and delaying the reaping." We under
stand this to mean that the roots have
prematurely ripened, and cannot be
helped now by rain, but the contrary.
Mr.. LIGHT retains his estimate of the
shortage of the beet crop at 100000
tons.
Louisiana.-Reports received from
planters in nearly all the sugar growing
parishes of Louisiana show the condition
of the cane crop to be promising. The
stand is generally good, though in many
localities rather small. The crop is late
owing to unfavorable weather at the
planting season. St. Mary, the largest
sugar producing parish in the State, re-
ports the prospects for large yield favor
able, but greatly decreased acreage.
The decrease in acreage will be about
25 per cent. Rain has damaged the
stock to some extent, though not gener-
ally. The yield promises to be larger
than in 1884
Havana, August 29th.-The rise in the
prices of sugar in the United States and
European markets promises a speedy
revival of business. Several large par
GELS have been sold at advancing prices.
Advices from the interior and the South
ern Coast report favorable weather for
growing cane, promising a better result
than that obtained from the last crop.
AT Remedies and Gibara, however, there
are complaints of prolonged drouth.

Temple of Fashion.

The Temple of Fashion is right to the
front with an announcement of large
stock of clothing in all styles, just re-
ceived direct from the East, consisting
of gents, youths, boys and children's
suits, manufactured expressly for this
climate. In white goods, dress lawns,
ladies' wrappers, shoes for all sexes,
great bargains can be obtained. This
house always carries stock which will
bear the closest inspection, and at prices
astonishingly low. It is no trouble for
them to show goods, and polite attention
is one of the features of their commo-
dius stone. If you want hat cleaned,
dyed or pressed, or feather curled, this
is the place to go to.

The Opera Season.

We have received letter from Signor
Farini, in which he says: Everything
goes on smoothly, and you can rest
assured of magnificent performances. l
have written to Miss Jennie Winston, a
very charming prima donna, and if can
come to an arrangement with her I shall
bring her as an additional artist. If you
on your end make it financial success,
pledge myself that artistically it shall
be an unqualified success. Programmes
and tickets will come by the next
steamer" And all this reminds us
that nothing has been done looking to
an increased subscription since Signor
Farini left. Mr.. Wiseman was absent
most of the time the guarantee fund
was being raised. Could he not do
something towards increasing it, with
his accustomed energy? We are to have
an opera season with first-rate per-
formers, and it rests with this community
to greet them with first-rate audiences.

eyes, and of Chinese and Portuguese,
too. We will never have good labor in
this country until the laborer seeks
work, not the employer seeking labor.
We should have enough labor in the
country to make it possible to discrimi
nate between the good and poor of its
kind. At present we pay all alike; the
lazy as much as the willing and efficient
man. Planters can very seldom afford
to discharge the Indifferent worker ow-
ing to the insufficiency of labor in the
country and the uncertainty of replacing
even unreliable men. Instead of paying
a fixed sum per month to all, we should
pay each laborer, male and female, what
the labor was worth and no more. Many
laborers do not now earn what is paid to
them"
Reverting to the labor circular and the
resolutions of the Hilo Planters Society,
Colonel Spalding expressed his regret
that it's members should have so hastily
prejudged the question, and committed
themselves to indiscriminate opposition
to the Government policy on the labor
question, which was most distinctly
framed in the interest of the planters.
In other words, the Government sought
to harmonic masters and servants, by
making labor more tractable and Undue
ing forbearance and good understand
ing on both sides.
This interesting interview then closed.
1t contains much that is suggestive, and
we commend it to the attentive perusal
of the Hilo Planters Society and all
others interested in the progress and
development of the country.

Burglar at Work.

Mr.. A. Kraft, the jeweler, generally
drives his son, Mr.. III. A Kraft, into
town every morning from their residence
at Makiki. When Mr.. Kraft, Sr., re-
turned to the house the other morning,
about 8 O'Clock, his usual time, he found
that the house had been entered by a
burglar. Some clothing had been gone
through, but pair of pants with money
in one pocket had been overlooked. A
can of milk and a package of sugar were
carried off. There is every indication of
the burglar being well acquainted with
the premises and the movements of Mr..
Kraft.

The partial eclipse of the moon last even
ing was witnessed by large number of
our residents. 1t WAS a fine, clear night,
and there were no clouds to interrupt the
sight. The moon entered the shadow and
came out at exactly the times mentioned by
us in yesterdays issue. The middle of the
eclipse was at seventeen minutes past
O'Clock, when the moon was little more
than three-quarters Swallowed.

Massacre of chinese

Our American exchanges describe an
attack upon the Chinese residents at
Rock Springs, mining camp in Wyom-
ing Territory. They were driven into
the woods, where many of them per-
ished from their wounds and privations
The Chinese quarter was looted and then
burned. 1t is supposed that fifty men
have been massacred. Fifteen dead
bodies were picked up. United States
troops escorted 400 Cinnamon from the
Almy coal mines to Evanston, Wyoming
Territory, to save their lives. The mill
tary commander, General Drum, has
been ordered to prevent further violence.

WORK OF SUPEREROGATIoN.

"Be not righteous overmuch" is a
text from the Old Book, which some
of our fellow citizens would do we'll to
remember when called upon suddenly
to respond to an appeal on behalf OF
religious workers in other fields We
shall explain briefly what we mean
at the risk, perhaps, of offending
several very excellent people whose
good opinion it is doubtless very de-
sirable to have.
AT late lecture in the Fort-street
Church, the lecturer, Major Dane,
gave an interesting account of the
evangelical labors of Mr.. Sakellarios,
young Greek, educated in America,
who conceived the idea of returning
to the Levant and ''converting'' his
fellow cOuntrymen. He was crippled,
however, for want of funds, and the
privilege" of contributing to ten
large his sphere of usefulnessn was
promptly conferred upon the audience,
who subscribed $72 60 on the spot.
1t is also announced that Major Dane
will address the natives next Sunday
in one of their churches, through an
interpreter, when collection for the
same object will be taken up.
This is what we unhesitatingly
style being righteous Overmuch."
The Greeks have inherited civiliza-
ton far more brilliant and complete
than that of any other nation in
-
though they may now be somewhat
backward owing to their long sub
lection to Mohammedan rule, modern
Greece is by no means barbarous ma
ton. Moreover, the Greeks are
Christians, adhering to the tenets of
the Eastern Church, and the utmost
that Mr.. Sakellarios can ever hope to
accomplish is to induce some of them
to change their form of worship and
join another branch of the Christian
Church. That is hardly an object for
which money should be raised in
Honolulu, much less for which the
begging box should be sent around
among native Hawaiian Christians.
There is very pressing need at our
own doors for earnest home mission
work, and until that need is met
Greek Christians may be very safely
left to get along in their old way, and
If this young Greek evangelist lacks
money let him labor for it with his
hands, as his great precursor ST. |
Paul did when he introduced Chris
tianity into Greece. Let anyone go
around the slums and through the
by-ways of Honolulu, and he will find !
conditions that are a disgrace to civil
lizatiOn, and at utter variance with |
religion and morality. Until these |
conditions are changed for the better,
there is no excuse for going abroad to
find missionary work.
In these remarks we Go not seek to
start the battle of the creeds. We are
perfectly impartial in that matter,
and hold that any religion is better
than no religion at all. Nor do we
seek to censure those whose response
to Major Danes appeal was so prompt
and liberal. We simply think that it
was piece of misdirected zeal,
and we are satisfied that the partici-
pants in it will agree with US upon
calm reflection.

CUPS AND sAUCERs.
How They are Made.

From the Illustrated .Aagdsine for September.
In the so-called SCREEN houses" alarge
quantity OF ware is drying preparatory
to being ''tred." This process is the
crucial test of pottery. All the preceding
operations have been carefully conducted
with a distinct view to this one. All the
combinations of clay, hint, stone or bone
have been made with forethought Of tho
kiln in which the ware will be partially
vitrihed. Earthenware and porcelain are
only, as is well-known, less perfect forms
of glass, or rather of glass in another stage
of development. When the earthenware
slip cups and saucers, mugs, and jugs
are sufficiently dried they are ready for
the "bscuit" kilns as they are oddly call
ed, for the ware Is not twice baked in
them, nor is IL good to eat. Some kinds of
ware are submitted to the intense heat OF
the kiln three times, all twice-once in
biscuit and once in glaze. When painting
is introduced over the glaze, as in the old
Sewers pate tendre, ana the various kinds
of fine porcelain, there is a third firing.
Before being placed in the kilns all the
articles thrown, turned. or moulded are
arranged in the "saggers," receptacles OF
coarse clay, very thick and strong, like
deep pie dishes. Into these various Arti-
Clts are pdthtu VIII COHhlutI Hhllls
little trIangles being placed between each
TO prevent their touching each other, and
the saggers are next packed together in the
kiln or over, each sagger being lined at
the bottom with a layer of rock sand.
Piled one on the other the saggers make
a fairly compact column, and when the
oven, some 10 feet in altitude is filed, the
fire is applied. 1t will be understood that
the fire by no means touches either the
ware or the saggers In which tits inclOsed.
They are simply in an oven about to be
raised to tremendous heat. The firing is
done by means of fiues so arranged as to
dtiuse intense heat throughout the whole
inttf,or of the ovens. This firing is a
ticklish operation requiring the super
vision of skilled workman capable Of
existing without sleep for some thirty-six
or forty hours. At first the heat is applied
gently for fear of cracking the ware, and
the fireman has an anxious time of IL.
Little openings in the brickwork enable
him to Judge Of the progress of his work,
The heat Of biscuit oven during the last
twenty-four hours is intense, between
twenty aud thirty thousand degrees of
Fahrenheit. AS the ware has taken
from forty to fifty hours IN firing so does
it require an equal time to become cool.

LoRmLARD SELLS HIS COTTAGE
"The Breakers at Newport, Bought by
Cornelius Vanderbilt for $4,000

"The Breakers at Newport, Bought by
Cornelius Vanderbilt for 100000.
NEWPORT, Il. J. sept. 23.-Mr. Pierre
Lorillard, of New York, has ceased to be
q cottage-owner in Newport, having to-
day sold his beautiful estate known as
''The Breakers" to Mr.. Cornelius Wander
brit, of New York, for 100000. Mr.
Lorillard became the owner OF the largest
portion of this property in 1878, when he
gave William Beach Lawrence,
since deceased, some $4,000
for about eleven acres of his
Ochre Point farm. Mr.. LOrillard allowed
100000 of this to remain on mortgage, and
this has never been paid of. Mr.. Loril-
lard at once began the erection OF beau
tiful house adapted for "A summer abode.
After the first purchase Mr.. Lorillard
acquired two other lots, including the tract
OF about an acre which Mr.. Richard M.
Staigg had purchased from M. Lawrence
more than twenty years previously, and
over which there was a legal fight during
the entire interim. These lots form one
estate OF about thirteen acres. "The
Breakers" commands a grand panoramic
view of the Atlantic Ocean, the beaches,
Seaconet, Easton's Point and Middletown
being in the distance.
Mrs. J. G. Aver, of New York, made an
offer for THE Breakers" but 1t did not
come up 10 MIR. Lorillard's idea. The sale
was made through Charles NaoRae, OF
New York.
