SATURDAY
THE LEGISLATURE. =

The Legislative Assembly Yesterday
disposed of the military and volunteer
estimates, also the appropriation for
band and salutes, and took up the post
poned items in the Finance Department.
The latter were passed as printed in the
original bill, after sharp debate on the
items providing for the pay OF Tax As
SCISSORS and Collectors. The cri ticism on
the vote for Assessors partook of the ma
ture of an attack upon Mr.. Hayselden,
Assessor for Honolulu, which that gen
tleman met by a sufficient personal ex-
PLANTATION. Assessors are appointed by
the Minister of Finance, subject to the
Kings approval, and the same Minister
has authority to fix the percentage the
Assessor shall receive. One material
point was lost sight of in the debfh1e
which it maNB4IYs work we'll and faith
fully, must be an expert in estimating
values, more especially in Honolulu,
where merchandise enters so largely
into the personal property list In
country districts this is true in a limited
degree only; whereas, any active, edu-
Gated man can discharge the duties of
Collector. This distinction between the
Assessor of Honolulu and country AS
SCISSORS, as well between Assessors and
Collectors as a body, was ignored by the
members who argued that the emolu-
ment for the Honolulu Assessor was too
large. 1t should have been duly recog-
nized, however, if a fair estimate of the
value OF services rendered was to be
made
A long and by no means edifying de-
bate took place on the vote for pay and
maintenance of the Kings Guard. We
think the arguments against the vote
were unworthy of the occasion. The Oppo-
sition professed to be willing to provide
a guard for the King adequate to his
Royal state, while arguing against an
appropriation which does so in the most
limited manner. We think if anyone
would take the trouble to inquire he
would find that the present corps of
guards is barely sufficient to perform the
detail and fatigue duty incident to their
service, and that the work of the soldiers
is by no means "play." OF course the
men are off duty occasionally, and it is
in the nature OF things that they should
enjoy themselves, and it is by pGU W

Three Lucrative Tropical Product

Three Lucrative Tropical Product
Under this title the Minister OF For
eign Affairs has received from the Chew
alier Werdmuller Won Elgg of Malang
in Java, the following instructive and
useful paper which His Excellency de
sires should be made public for the
benefit of those enterprising individuals
who are endeavOring to introduce new
industries into this country, and in the
hope that it may excite attention among
the many who have hitherto been in
different to the subject.
Mr.. Won Elgg is the gentleman whose
statistics as to the cost and profits OF
coffee culture in Java were published in
the Planters Monthly last year. The
following is a rather close translation OF
the quaint French of the author:
Especially in our time, when almost
all agricultural products adapted fol

long of depreciation in the European
markets, it is more and more necessary
that the attention of Governments rest

"Cubebs. Formerly exported in sui
ficient quantities, has fallen off consider
ably OF late years, so that the expectation
from Java and Madura for the years
1882 to 1888 fell from 588, 795 to 3O1 ,74O
kilogrammes. The price formerly varied
from francs O.09 to f. OPP and has risen
to f. q, the price now generally asked
the expectation of it having annually de-
creased for want of planting.
"Kola nuts; tree known by the name
of Sterculia-acumniata, is a product es-
pecialiy of the tropics, and found in
superior quality in Brazil and on the
banks of the Congo. Whilst, as to cof
fee, tea, yerba mate and the guarana of
Brazil, there has been found by analysis,

Steiren found even 2.2 per cent OF alca-

The kola is distinguished by flavor
resembling chocolate, and contains
0 .02 per cent. theabromine, which has
been found by chemical analysis. This

This is true of soldiers of every country
in the world, and is far from being an
evidence of loose discipline or lack OF
courage, as Mr.. Dole argued. If he ever
has an opportunity of contrasting the
discipline and fighting qualities OF Brit
ish and European soldiers with their
riotous and lawIess behavior con leave, -
when they turn their attention in that
direction, he will be compelled to &C
knowledge the entire fallacy OF his argu-
ment. We regard the conduct OF the
Hawaiian soldiers as excellent on the
whole; their discipline is good, and We
are satisfied they would do their duty in

"The natives are very fond OF chewing
the kola nut sometimes mixed with
ginger; it animates them and enables
them to resist the greatest fatigues. The
importation into Europe is as yet insig-

''The coca bush attains height from
one TO TWO metres, makes branches free

six centimetres in length. At the age
of one year and a half the leaves may be
harvested, and for 40 years afterwards.
''The dried leaves give an extract and
alcaloid very precious, which is served
like tea, or chewed like the sirih; its
cheering qualities are very much appre
ciated, and considerably surpass those Of
the kola.
although the most ancient descrip-
tons of America, as we'll as those of the
Incas, speak of coca, with the exception
of the Princes and priests, its use was in
early times but very limited, but it has
become general since the manufacture Of

dens so successfully, | would
lise, through the medium of your
widely circulated journal, to make a

glancing out of the window, drunken
men reeling and stumbling about the

policy players-tor one may deplete
his pocket, but the other ruins pocket,

We ought to be very tender with

of us who have passed through the
same ordeal can remember that we
suffered in our day Of small beginnings
and unused experiences, and by our
selves we can Judge for them.
To carry the business of life you
must have surplus power. BE fit for
more than the thing you are now do
