in Hawaii to-day, and maybe the
harvest will be more truth-loving
generation than the present one.
Arbor Day is coming to be a great
institution in the United States and
Canada. The last mail announces
that Feb. 10 has been set apart as
Arbor Day by the Governor of
Florida. Such a holiday in this
kingdom would doubtless give an
impetus to tree-planling, and come
in well in the long interval between
New Years and the Fourth of July.
A Chicago lady, forty-second
cousin to John Young's grandaunt,
is trying to get hold of Queen
Emma's estate. She will do it
sooner and cheaper by raising
pirate fleet than by feeling lawyers.
An appreciatory sketch of the
American Sugar Refinery has been
issued as an extra to the San Fran
cisco Merchant. 1t is estimated
that this establishment, that is to
handle more than half the product
of these Islands, gives employment
to at least 5000 people, no Chinese
being engaged, and has capacity
of 100000 pounds of sugar daily.
Planters here are informed that
the projected beet sugar factory at
Alvarado, California, will next year
be prepared to contract for Hawaiian
raw sugars, to keep the plant en-
ployed in the intervals between beet
crops. Thus it may be that the
starting of beet refining on the
Coast will be benefit instead of an
injury to Hawaiian cane-growers.
California is bound, it would appear,
to do all the refining for the West,
hence will want all the raw product
that Hawaii can give her.
We copy from the Alta California
two articles that appeared therein
at different dates recently, supple
menting that papers able argument
on behalf of the treaty, previously
republished in these columns. An
interesting point in one of these
articles is where the sending of Ha-
waian sugar to Louisiana is shown
to be in response to demand from
there. The Spreckels newspapers,
in their jealous blindness, tried to
make that business out as utterly
inimical to the treaty and piece of
suicidal madness. Hawaiian sugar,
in truth, is wanted in Louisiana by
the planters themselves, who are the
chief stockholders in the local refin-
cries, to supply the deficiency be-
tween the capacity of the latter and
their own crop.
Cold waves in the Southern States
may turn the eyes of injured fruit
growers there to country whose
tropical balminess never fails. Come
hither, where the orange and the
myrtle ever bloom, and Jack Frost
is never numbered among the
burglars.
Mr.. Heydon, Minister for Justice
in New South Wales, has resigned
his position owing to the decision OF
the Ministry to propose a property
tax. Would it not be funny thing
to see a Minister in Hawaii resign
ing on account of disagreement will
his colleagues, or for any constitu
tional reason, such as the vetoing o.
one of his measures?
In this issue is given descrip
ton of the yacht now building t.

years international race. 1t woult
seem that sailing racers are running
to the same standard of inutilit,
that has characterized racing row
boats for many years. Speed ant
nothing else is the desideratum

peace or war is not going to beneii
much, if any, from the models @
