Vital Statistics.


lings, Surgeon United States Army.
on the mortality and vital statistics
of the United States as returned from
the tenth census June /, 1SS0). has
been received by the Secretary of
the Interior. In order to study the
influence upon the health of the in
habtants exerted by peculiarities,
topography. drainage, climate, ETC.,
the report divides the country into
twenty-one regions, the physical
character eristics of which are more or
less distinct. The name of the dis
eases which cause more than the
average number of deaths in each of
there regions are given, as we'll as
those which in point of mortality
are below the average. The total
population in 1880 was so, ,155, ,7S3.
an increase in ten years of 1897
412.
"Of this increase PSI. .249 per
annum may be taken," says the re-
port, "as due to immigration, the
total number of immigrants for the
ton years being 2,8l2,l91. This
makes the mean annual increase
due to excess of births over deaths
SIS, ,522."
The mean annual birth rate for
the United States is given as thirty
six per 1000. 1t appears from the
data presented in the report that the
United States, as a whole. during
the census year had comparatively
low death rate and a high birth
rate. The death rate is shown to
have been higher in the colored than
in the white population, in the for
eign element than in the whites OF
American parentage, in the cities
than in the rural districts. The
most important causes of disease
and deaths were consumption, pneu.
monia. diphtheria typhoid fever.
malarial fevers and those ill-defined
forms of diseases to which children
under l year of age are subject.
The total number of deaths dur.
ing the census year was 756, 1893.
Consumption led in the catalogue
OF causes. it's victims numbering 81, >.
270, pneumonia followed, recording
G3.O53 deaths, while of all the con.
tagious diseases diphtheria led the
van, more than doubling the NOR
tality record made by scarlet fever,
one of the most dreaded foes of
childhood.
Comparisons were made in fifty OF
the principal cities of the United
States which shows the percentage
of deaths from consumption to be
the greatest in Charleston, from
diphtheria, whoopine cough and
typhoid fever in Pittsburg, from
scarlet fever in Fall River, Mass.
from pneumonia in New York. from
homicide in Richmond and from
suicide in San Francisco. The
year chosen for these vital statistics
was ono in which no epidemic
ragged, hence the figures returned
have a significance that is valuable
in designated the healthfulness and
unhealthfulness Of the various sec.
tions, and the diseases that are
peculiarly fatal in each locality

The agricultnralists, numbering
1870, ,493, produced more in value
than all the above put together, but
owing to the singular incompleteness
of agricultural statistics, it is impos-
sible to give the correct amount. A
pretty correct idea of the value ol
farm products may be obtained, how.
ever, by noting the exports of the
great staples. The quantities and
values of the leading domestic articles
exported from the United States in
1880, with the percentage of each
retained for consumption, tabulated
appear as follows, taken from
Spofford's American Almanac:

without any great outlay. We may be
in error in this regard, but we think that
the waste of plantation, as OF an ordi-
nary farm, when properly utilized would
go far towards rendering the manage
ment OF It Independent Of imported Ter
tilizers, to the use of which every plan
tation on the Islands must come IN
course Of time. A saving in this di- &c
ton would be an evidence Of thrift and
intelligent economy, and 'The PlaE-ers'
Monthly might be the means Of dis
seminating information regarding it to
the ultimate benefit OF all.
This suggestion, however, is mere in
cident, and may be taken as a pointer
to the line of practical investigation
which might be proftably pursued. But
the general field Of industrial research
is open, and "The Planters Monthly"
might be of very great benefit in stimu-
lating new industries by presenting the
practical results of experiments made on
these Islands at various attitudes and in
different exposures. The cinchona ex-
pertinent at Kukuihaele, on Hawaii,
is one of great interest to this country,
and the Legislature very wisely appro-
priated money to aid in the work. So
also is the ramie experimental farm on
the same island, similarly aided by pub
lie bounty. Now, the progress Of these
experiments should be carefully noted
and recorded, and their results should be
made public for general information and
guidance. ''The Planters Monthly
would be a proper medium for such
publication, being less ephemeral than
a newspaper article, and therefore more
likely to be preserved for reference.
Similar remarks might be made re.
garding coffee, rice, grape vines, citrus
fruits, figs, bananas and great variety
of other natural products which are
raised with more or less success on this
group, and which may become a source
of great profit to the producers. Effor
in these directions should be systema
tized, and this work may be accom-
plished through the agency Of an organ
ization like the Planters Labor and Sup
ply Company in a more efficient way
than by any other agency that is avail
able. Indeed, we are by no means clea
that the Royal Hawaiian Agriculture
Society should not be merged into thi
planters association. The latter mus
be organized on a broader and NOR
liberal basis, however, before an ANAL
gamation of this kind could take place
1t would be decidedly better, however
to have one strong and well-conductec
national institution of the character in
Dictated, than to have two institution
travelling almost on parallel lines, neithe
of which can boast of any great degre
! of success.

1T is reported that the Attorney Gen
eral has given the opinion that Spreck-
els Bank cannot recover the balance due
by the Government on open account, as
the special loans under which the debt
was contracted were illegal. Truly the
whirligig of time brings stranger re-
venges, if the Opposition theory, put for
ward to obtain only a moral victory, is
adopted in stern practice by the man
who was ever ready to move the previous
question for the burking of investiga-
ton"
If this be the opinion of tue Attorney
General, (and we have been told that it
Isl, the question assumes far more
serious aspect than that of the political
consistency of His Excellency Mr.. Kaulu-
kou. That last is of no Importance what
ever. 1t is matter of the greatest i'm
portance, however, whether the Govern
ment is prepared to repudiate its just
obligations in accordance with this opin-
ion of the Attorney General That is
something which concerns everybody.
1t touches the honor and credit of the
Kingdom, and it should be settled once
for all, and without moments delay.
The question of who is creditor of the
Government does not come in. 1t hap
pens in this case to be tSpreckels'
Bank" or VIM. G. Irwin & Co. 1t
might as we'll be Bishops Bank, or any
other local firm which, reposing conf
dence in the good faith of the Govern
ment, had made temporary advances to
enable it to meet pressing and neces-
sary engagements, accepting as security
the written promise of repayment out of
the public revenue, signed by every
member of the Cabinet as such. If an
obligation of this character is to be re-
pudiated by succeeding Administra-
ton, we would like to know what kind
of obligation these gentlemen would con-
slider binding upon them. And further
more, we would like to know how any
Government could be conducted upon
such business principles.
We put the case thus pointedly be-
cause as yet we have heard of no dis
claimer by the Government OF
this miscellaneous opinion" or shall
rather say this thoughtless talk
by the Attorney General. We
desire to elicit such disclaimer,
because unless it be Forthcoming
speedily and in tangible shape, it will
be worse than folly to attempt to place a
Hawaiian Government loan in London
or elsewhere. The paragraph in yester-
days "Herald" will settle that piece OF
business most effectually.
We cannot imagine that reputation is
seriously contemplated; but if not con-
templated, it should not be suggested.
The mischief which might be done in
this way may be incalculable. 1t is not
by any means an unusual thing for q
Government to accept temporary ac-
commodation from financial houses; but
we never heard of such debts being re-
pudiated because there was no specific
enactment authorizing the borrowing

General Kaulukou to put forward such
