JAVANESE LABOR.

We annex an interesting item from
Bradstreet's" on the Queensland
Sugar Trade" 1t appears from this
statement that the planters of Queens
land are satisfied with a yield of two
and half short tons per acre, the aver
age for last season being trife below
that quantity. The average yield of
these islands last season will be about
six tons. This leaves a wide margin in
favor of the sugar industry of the Ha-
waiian Kingdom, yet the Queenslanders
regard their crop as satisfactory. 1t
will be seen that the Queensland Gov
eminent has attempted to stimulate pro-
duction based upon white labor. All
though $25O,0OO was appropriated for
this experiment, the idea of employing
white labor had to be abandoned.
White labor cannot be depended to do
the field work on the sugar plantations
of Queensland any more than it can be
depended upon here. The climate is
too hot and the work too incessant
Javanese labor has been imported, and
gives great satisfaction to the planters.
This opens a suggestive although not
new idea in regard to the source of labor
supply for these Islands. His Excel
lency Mr.. Gibson suggested Java as a
possible source OF supply several years
ago, but the Ministry of that day did not
think if feasible, as the Javanese had
only been accustomed to cultivate coffee,
and moreover the Dutch Government
was not inclined to encourage the immi-
grafton OF the labor population OF Java.
These conditions appear to have been
however, and it is not improba-
bic that in time to come we may be
able to recruit our industrial population
from the prolific, docile, chaste and as
similative Javanese. Following is the
item referred to:
The sugar crop of 1885 in Queensland
to 5000 tons. an average yield
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1886-07-26

OF 261z cwt OF sugar per acre, which Is
regarded a satisfactory The crop would
have been larger but for the drouth in the
preceding year. The season has shown a
large increase in the area under cultiva-
ton, marked Improvement in the quality
of the sugar. and more economic methods
of manipulating the juice. The scarcity Of
labor and the low price Of sugar, however.
preclude the idea OF profit 10 the planter.
The double crushing system appears TO
be the most popular method in use, giving
IS per cent more juice than can be obtained
from the single mills The Queensland
Government has voted sum Of ESQ 600 10
assist in the further establishment Of sugar
cultivation, by experimenting in machinery
and methods OF cultivation on some one
plantation. One condition of this grant
was the employment OF white labor, but,
as it has been found utterly impracticable
TO comply with this condition, il will prob
ably be passed over by the Government.
The difficulty of obtaining kanaka labor
from the South Sea Islands has resulted in
the importation of Javanese, who, so far,
have given great satisfaction. Planters
have been crushing all the year round, the
density of the Juice, 50 Beaume, being
favorable. With the exception Of a vista
ton from myriads of caterpillars, which
attacked the young cane, doing temporary
injury, the sugar industry of Queensland
appears 70 be thriving for comparatively
new ENTERPRISE.

before a large gathering OF parents,
friends and others interested in educa-
ton. The scholars recited, or were re-
viewed, in reading, language lessons,
arithmetic and geography, in all of
which most satisfactory results had been
accomplished for the term just brought
to q close, and this result no doubt Is
reached by the thorough teaching and
good discipline enforced by the principal
Mr.. Henry Dickinson, and his able
associates The attendance ranges be-
tween l35 and IA with but very slight
absenteeism. The school house is very
much in need OF repair (owned by pri-
vate paIties), new roof is re-
quired, and sundry alterations, with
better ventilation, is absolutely necessary
in the rooms where the younger children
are taught.
The closing exercises OF this interest
ing public school (almost all HaWaiians)
were held in Wainee Church on the 23d,
before a large audience, and passed off
in a pleasant and interesting manner.
The exercises consisted OF singing, reel
tation, defamation and gymnastics.
The latter were we'll executed and
heartily enjoyed. very striking fea-
ture of the programme was the singing.
Mr.. Dickinson deserves great credit in
that he has so thoroughly educated the
voices OF his pupils, that those from
nine years OF age and upwards now take
their particular part i'll music. 1t was
therefore very interesting to hear in per
feet harmony about fifty boys and sing
ing at one time. The remainder of the
exercises were equally well rendered
and reflect the highest credit upon the
teachers in their efforts to thoroughly
instruct those committed to their charge
in the English language.
The Rev. Pail then addressed the
children, and in passing said that the
Hoike (exhibition) was makai loa very
good indeed), and he wished the worthy
teachers a pleasant rest from their
labors and a return with renewed
strength to resume their duties.
Our worthy Police Magistrate, ID. Ka-
haulelio, then followed in a few appropri-
ate remarks, during which he dwelt
upon the duties OF children to their
parents and teachers, and said he
trusted that the lessons taught would be
so impressed upon the minds of the
scholars during vacation that their
teachers on beginning work again would
find that they had not labored in vain.
a brief prayer by the pastor followed,
and this brought to close very inter
| esting gathering.

every department OF the school. The
disadvantage of a want Of thorough
training, which is acknowledged to be
one OF the disabilities of our private
schools in the Islands, Is done away
with by the Principal having exclusive
Jurisdiction over the needs and capabili-
ties Of the pupils. Hence the teachers
OF the school have been able TO guard
that most important point-a thorough
discipline in the rudimentary branches.
This rudimentary knowledge IN the
Fort-street school is based upon thor
ough instruction Of ordinary English SO
that the pupil can practically handle his
two-edged requirements without wound
ing himself or the reputation OF bis
teachers.
Although comparisons may not al
ways be pleasant it il but justice to say
that during the past few years the public
schools of Hawaii have 50 improved
that they are now doing work which
surpasses the same kind OF instruction
given in any Of the private schools Of the
Kingdom.

THE SUNDAY QUESTION.
First Case of the Kind Tried by Jury
Verdict for Defendants.

On Saturday last the case of the
Crown against An Sing ct ais. was tried
before foreign jury. The defendants
were charged with violating the Sabbath
by watering cane on the Waianae plan
t.tion on Sunday, the 25th of April.
The defendants admitted the fact of
working, but pleaded in justification that
the work performed was necessary, and
not within the meaning OF the law. The
facts in evidence were substantially as
follows:
Defendants were ordered by the mana
ger, Mr.. Ahrens, to water certain
field of cane on Sunday, which order
they were obeying when arrested. The
field was suffering for want OF water,
and it was impossible to water at night,
because the water then was used by the
natives above for their kuleanas, and
there was no water in the stream below.
day in the week, because the railroad
track crossed another field adjacent
thereto and was so situated that water
could be got to the field in no other way
than by huming it across and over the
track. Water could not be led under
the track because the fall was not sui
fcient. The track was being used
during the week for supplying the cane
to the mill, and it would be impossible to
hume over the track while the cars were
running. The plantation was under con-
tract with Mr.. Kauhlbaum to have his
cane ground and turned into sugar in a
given time, and it was not possible to
fulfill the contract unless the ears were
run every day. Much of the cane to be
hauled was then over-ripe. Mr.. Kauhl-
baum and Mr. Ahrens, both testified
that an unusual drouth was prevailing
at the time, and that it was necessary,
water that could be got, and at any time,
and that even then, there was not suf-
ticient water to prevent loss altogether.
Mr.. Kauhlbaum testified that he had
reason of the drouth.
Many authorities were quoted on both
sides, as applying to the question OF
necessity; and a very impartial charge
was given by the Chief Justice to the
! jury, in which he said that although it
might be very desirable to have the
opinion of the full bench as to the ques-
ton of necessity, he did not wish the
jury to find verdict against defendants
for the mere purpose of testing the ques-
ton. They were at liberty to find &C
cording to the facts, subject to the in
structions given. He said he believed
it was the first case of the kind that had
ever been tried by a jury in this coun-
try.
After retiring for about five minutes,
the jury returned with verdict of 10 to
2, acquitting the defendants.

THE NEWS.

The election news from England is the
leading topic Of the day. The Corserva-
tive rally has been Il great effort, but
after all it only gives the Tories a ma
iority of two votes in the House Of Com
mons over the combined forces OF the
once united Liberal party. 1t follows
therefore that a Coalition Ministry is the
only possible hope for even a tempOra
rily strong Government Very strong
personal antipathies have been evoked,
and the Grand Old Man has entered
upon a career of party warfare in which
he will neither give nor ask for quarter.
1t is said that he is resolved to drive
Chamberlain out of politics, and if he
were ten years a younger man he would
certainly accomplish his purpose. He
will make it very uncomfortable for MIR
Chamberlain, however.
The policy of the Coalition Govern
ment is already foreshadOwed 1t en-
bodies coercion, and local councils with
delegated powers, for Ireland. This
policy is bound to fail. 1t will renew re-
prisals on the part of the NatiOnalists,
so that the world will once more have
the humiliating spectacle presented to
it of England ruling Ireland by force
and martial law, and the Irish people
emulating savages in their desperate re-
sistance to authorized oppression. This
cannot last long. The public conscience
of the world protests against such a pro-
cedure when the right and proper course
to take would ensure the happiness OF
Ireland, and render its people loyal sub
jects of the Crown. The fact cannot
be lost sight of in this connection
that over a million of electors voted
for Home Rule pure and simple.
Scotland, Wales and Ireland have re-
turned majorities pledged to Gladstone s
policy, and with such backing, although
numerically weaker than the anti-H Home
Rulers, the fate of the principles for
which they cast their votes cannot be
uncertain. The renewal of outrages
will seal the fate of the Coalition Gov
eminent.
There is an ominOus cloud gathering
in the East. Russia has notified the
Great Powers that Batoum, on the Black
Sea, is no longer an open port. 1t was
so decreed by the Congress of Berlin,
but Russia now repudiates this stipula-
ton of the treaty, as it will probably do
other articles when it suits its convent
ence. An army corps is being concen-
trated on the frontier of Bessarabia, and
every sign points to a veritable "fall
campaign" in which the crop to be
reaped will be ''bearded men,"
From the United States there is little
or no special news. The impulse of in
dustrial unrest received from the East
at San Francisco appears to be spreading
there, and a general strike in nearly
every branch of business is threatened.
The Reciprocity Treaty is safe. This
should satisfy most people, and put an
end to the silly talk and writing one is ac-
customed to on the subject.

ISLAND NOTES.

Huo, Hawaii, July 22d
If there is any place in these Islands
where people know how to get up a
choice entertainment it is at Hilo On
the Goth instant the Foreign Church
sociable was held at the residence of D.
H. Hitchcock, Esq, and although the
weather was unpleasant, and the streets
muddy, large number were present.
The exercises consisted of choice sing
ing, readings and recitations. Mrs. Han
ford of Honolulu gave several vocal Sc
Elections in her usual artistic style. Rev.
Mr.. Burt and Miss Cora f. Hitchcock
sang several duets, to which they did
ample justice. Miss Kimball read a
selection, which caused great
merriment, and Mrs. Ferris gave a fine
recitation. The house was decorated
with American and Hawaiian flags. Re
freshments We're served to all present
Before the entertainment closed Mr. L.
Severance gave humorous recitation,
which was well calculated to transfer
money from the pockets of those present
to a hat which was passed around by
Miss Anne Hitchcock. J. A. NJ.

1T STILL GOES ON.
The Carnival of Winter SpOrts-Its
Height Reached To-Day.


Yesterday was the tenth day of the car
nival and witnessed a larger attendance at
the palace grounds than any day since the
stormiug of the palace, just week before.
The attendance demonstrates that enthu-
siasm over the winter sports is still running
high. The keenest interest was mani
tested in the curling bonspiel and snowshOe
races at the grounds, while tobogganing at
the different slides was indulged in by large
delegations of the winter clubs. The
good effects of the physical exercise and
outdoor pleasure of tobogganing for ladies
and gentlemen will be one of the happiest
results of the carnival. During the after
noon over hundred enthusiastic visitors
arrived from the Zenith City and will TAX e
part in the great demonstration of Grand
Army day, which is intended to surpass
everything preceding it, In the evening
the palace was brilliantly Illuminated in
colOrs, presenting by far the most pleasing
spectacle yet obtained from the Ice Kings
abode, and large and enthusiastic crowd
of people participated in tobogganing,
skating and other sports. To-day a grand
spectacle will be witnessed, the parade this
afternoon of all the military and Grand
Army organizations as well as visiting and
local snowshoe, toboggan and skating clubs,
being one of the great features of the pal
ace, while this evenings display of fire.
