checking new enterprises than in any
other way. Had the price OF sugar re-
NAMED high new plantations would have
taken up the remaining available area
until the limit of our capacity had been
reached. With present methods pro-
badly we should never have more than
doubled our present output of sugar.
When it is discovered how to make cane
grow without rain or irrigation and how
to make sugar without expensive ma
chinery and complicated processes, then
and not till then will our capacity be
enormously increased.
With the cessation of new works and
decrease in the price of sugar, less
skilled labor has been needed and con-
siderable has been replaced by unskilled
Add to this the large decrease in the
demand for the product of skilled labor
sent out from Honolulu, and a very large
amount of the better classes Of the COM
munity have been thrown out OF en-
ployment. No doubt the above causes
are responsible for most of the present
depression and dullness. Chinese and
Portuguese have also displaced some of
the skilled labor formerly monopolized
by other nationalities. AS a grand re-
suit we have considerable emigration
of the classes we ought by all means to
retain for the best interests of the coun-
try. 1t is dispiriting to witness the pas
senger lists out of the country. 1t is
estimated that for the first six months of
this year the departures exceeded the
arrivals by over one thousand. And so
will continue. All look with apprehen-
sion at the possible state. of the country
when it consists of only few large plan
tations owned by few wealthy persons,
who will probably be nonresident, and
considerable population of low class,
ignorant people. Yet to this we are
tending unless we can obtain diversified
industries. The capabilities of the
country are great; we can grow many
things besides sugar and rice, and it only
needs a far-sighted sagacity to develop
these resources. We have in our midst
plenty of men able in both pocket and
brain to give the needed impetus, and to
cause Hawaii to enter upon a new era Of
prosperity. It must be done soon or we
shall lose more yet of a population we
can i'll spare. Shall it be done?

The Atlantic Steamboat Race.

Messrs. Harland & Wolff, shipbuilders,
Belfast, are at present building two
vessels which are the longest in the
world, excepting, of course, the Great
Eastern. Their length over all will be
nearly $40 feet, breadth between 50 and
SO feet. The City of New York-the
new Inman Liners $50 feet, but her
beam is very much greater, and the ton
mage of the White Star Liners is not,
therefore nearly so great as the Inman
Liner. There are several novel points in
the construction, which can be seen from
a careful observation of the hull Both
vessels have small bar keels, about
inches deep and about Is inches across.
The frames amidships, instead of being
of ordinary angle iron, are of channel
iron. The plating, too, is not of the
usual type. The plates are thinned at
the ends for overlapping. They are, be-
sides, of unusual length. The vessels
are extensively subdivided by transverse
bulkheads, and there is a middle line
fore and aft bulkhead, extending the
greater part OF the length of the vessel
amldships. The vessels have a turtle
back deck forward and aft, the latter
being about 80 feet long. The machinery
will be OF the triple-expansion type
driving twin screws, but the power
expected has not been made known.
The arrangement of the screws is
probably the distinctive feature of
the ships. At the stern there is an
aperture resembling that in which the
single screw works in ordinary steamers,
but unusual so Ear as the twin screw is
concerned. This aperture is evidently
made to allow the screws to overlap. The
shaft tube ofthe starboard propeller is car
fried further aft than that of the port pro-
peller, so that the former will work out
side OF the latter. The screws being so
close together in the athwartship direc-
ton allows of a very short length of
stern tube, and there are no stern tube
brackets as in ordinary twin-screw pro-
pellers. In fact the tubes are attached
to the lightweight at the extreme
after part, there being a thin web
of plating. The stern frames are of novel
construction, and are apparently COM
posed OF large castings, no doubt of steel.
This arrangement will admit of a longer
throw, and yet overcome the likelihood
of the propeller blades coming in contact
with a quay wall.-Glasgow Herald.

THE country can not obtain the highest
prosperity as long as it is dependent
upon one industry. This is our present
position. With the rise and fall of sugar
the nation is prosperous or pinched.
Years ago, in what may be termed our
experimental period, the work connected
with the industry was more evenly di-
vided than at present. This was also
the case during the development induced
by the Treaty. Then mechanics and
artizans had plenty of work and were
happy. The increase of population was
along the best lines, the middle classes.
The tax lists, the rolls at public schools,
showed this. Societies composed of
these people were formed; the streets of
Honolulu at times were fairly alive with
intelligent, respectable Americans and
Europeans. But with the settlement of
the sugar industry upon the basis of
permanency, the completion of new
works, the defining of limits, this pros
perity came to an end. 1t is true that
the low price of sugar has had its share
in the result, but more in the line of

THE DAILY
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1888.

THE Legislature refused to pass an Act
admitting DR.. Hillebrand's book duty
free. Sentimental considerations weigh
very lightly with the House, but to show
that there is nothing stingy or mean
about the members, it is worthy of note
that, within an hour after the rejection Of
that bill, they had raised on subscription
the amount of 1915 towards fountain
commemorative of DIR. Hillebrand The
Minister of the Interior originated and
drew up the subscription paper. 1t is
proposed to have this fountain placed in
some public spot in the city. No better
place could be suggested, probably, than
the triangle formed by King, Merchant
and Richards streets. This barren, DESC
late, dreary waste ought to have a neat
fence about it, a few trees, flowers and
grass planted there; then with beauti-
full fountain and seats scattered here and
there it would be a place of grateful rest
for the body and pleasure to the eye. 1t
is time that more attention was paid. to
identifying the city.

The Chinese Question Again.

Mr.. EDITOR: The arguments in re-
gard to restricting Chinese immigration
have not been exhausted I desire to
make a contribution to the arguments in
favor Of such restriction. One can read
ilv see that if Hawaii alone refuses to
take measures of restriction against Chi
nese immigration she will have to bear
the brunt of their invasion to an excessive
degree. And this invasion would prob
ably be overwhelming and destructive.
The Chinese race doubtless has great
possibilities in its future. But the posi-
bilities available for our modern civiliz-
alton are very remote. The aa fields of
Hawaii will be very rich soil two thous-
and years hence. Christianity demands
of US that we give religious teaching to
the Chinese who are in our midst. In
order to present a successful example of
Christianity we must not allow the
country to be first paganized by a deluge
of Cinnamon. In order to maintain q
civilization worthy of the name in this
country, we must have population that
shall not be either in semblance or in
=
need human beings whose ambitions,
social and moral, do not fall below a
certain standard and are capable of in
definite development. Fifteen cents a
day will maintain a Chinaman but will
not suitably maintain an Anglo-Saxon.
Civilization is expensive. Churches are
expensive. So also are libraries, ly-
CeumS, leCture-rOOmS, roads, WharVeS,
electric lights, in short all the appurte-
nances of civilization. The whole infiu-
ence of Chinatown is demOralizing The
Chinaman may not be an active law
breaker but he is very cunning evader
of the law In proof of this witness the
difficulty which the Board of Health find
in compelling observance in Chinatown
of its sanitary code. Even along the
streets of Honolulu the Chinaman out

index of the low down and animal like
state of his tastes and Instincts.
How long think you will it take to

ton worthy of citizenship such sans

as to overawe the teachers The best
interests of the Cinnamon themselves
demand that the number of their popu-
lation in this country shall be in very
limited numbers, that they be kept
under close surveillance, that they be
not allowed to live in idleness.
[ cannot but think that to postpone
legislative action on this matter is
merely to put off till future day the
reckoning with the evil that is heaping
up against us. +.

Beating the Bounds.

Boys and girls born within the last
twenty years, especially in this country,
are probably not familiar with the term,
" Beating the bounds" But those of
us grown folks " who began life in
the country towns of New England
heard it often in boyhood days. We
knew what it meant, but even we did
not know how it originated. Mr..
Henry F. Waters, who has lately been
in England and ruminated among
musty documents there, says the term
comes from the custom of tracing and
keeping in order the boundary lines
between counties, towns and estates.
Certain officials used to walk along the
boundary lines every season to keep the
line in mind and to see that the marks
were maintained. They used to take
with them few boys from ten to
twenty years of age, because, being
young, they were supposed to have
many years before them in which to re-
member the bounds. And in order to
impress some particular point or corner
upon the minds of these boys one of
the men would give the lads beating
with switch. 1t was presumed that
they would never forget the place where
they were beaten. Thus originated
the term " Beating the bounds. "-W.

Mr.. Mouser of course grieved over
his loss, but managed to conquer the
regret sufficiently to display some of his
old wit and mirth.
But this good feeling received sud-
den check the morning after the bur-
glary of the Jack"
He had just opened the daily paper,
when his glance was arrested by lead
ing paragraph.
Lizbeth, look at thisl"
Mrs. Mouser became alarmed. Her
husband was pale as death and tremb-
ling in every limb as he handed her
the paper. She read:
"The residence of the Hon. Oliver
was broken into night before last and
large sum of money and valuable plate
and iewelry stolen. The rob-
bers entered by the garden window,
from which they had removed the iron
grating, while standing on a singular
looking wooden object, recognized by
old-fashioned country folks as saw
buck 1t is painted light green, and
will doubtless prove valuable clue
toward tracing the miscreants. A
thousand dollars reward is offered for
return of jewelry or information lead
ing to the arrest of the robbers
Why, this is splendid You can at
once notify the authorities that the
Jack is yours-the thieves who car
ried it off"
ooh, my-oh, my" groaned Mr.
Mouser: don't talk to me about
thieves-I may be arrested any moment,
when they discover"
Discover what? How can they ar
rest an innocent man because he owns
an article stolen from him and used by
wretches-"
ooh, Lizbeth-I may not even be
able to prove an alibi. Oh, what shall
l dol l tell you, wife, l am not en-
tirely innocent"
"Ahl we nab you confessing, my
fine Bird" rude voice here inter
rupted, followed by the entrance of the
minions of justice.
Mrs. Mouser begged, cried, stormed
and implored. Mr.. Mouser was mute
and totally crushed, but the bold min
ions of authority led him away to dun
geon, where he languished for three
days before his friends could obtain a
hearing for him. In the meantime the
real culprits had been caught, but the
law required an explanation of the Ian
guage that appeared to the police like a
confession of completely notwithstand-
ing Mr.. Mouser's unquestionable social
standing and perfect responsibility.
The courtroom was crowded with
his friends and neighbors. His wife
gazed at him tearfully and lovingly,
but Mr. Mouser was very much cast
down. There was no escape. He had
to tell how distasteful wood-sawing had
proved to him-how he feared the
ridicule of wife and friends if after all
the Boosting he gave it up. But when
he related his midnight elopement with
his green sawing-jack even the court
joined in the broad smile that ripened
into roar of laughter from the less
dignified listeners. The browning hu-
initiation came, however, when he left
the prison for the coach to be taken
home. There he saw the green abom-
ination resting at the drivers feet on
the front of the carriage. His wife has
not stopped laughing yet at his mid
night adventure.-Addpted from the
German by Mrs. Miles II. Nc Ndmora.

WAS AMERICA EVER DIsCOvERED?-
AT the time when Columbus started in
search of the New World nearly every
man, woman and child in Europe in
sisted that there was no New World to
discover. When he came back, crowned
with success, large proportion of these
good people adhered to their theory;
and if they were alive to-day many of
them would doubtless insist that
America had never been discov-
cred at all. A man will give up any
thing in the world more readily than a
pet theory. For example, look at the
individuals who still maintain that con-
sumption is incurable. DIR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery has cured
thousands upon thousands of cases and
will cure thousands more, but these
people can't give up their point.
Nevertheless, the Discovery" will
cure any case of consumption, if taken
in time.

The Little Old Mill.

There's little ril
At the foot of the hill,
And little dam,
And little old MILL
Shabby and still
And the little old miller who once was there,
With snow-white clothes and powdered hair,
who measured the grain
And who took the toll
He is now as silent and still
As the moveless wheels in the little mill,
And he sleeps in the church-yard cold and Torn,
Near the little mill where he ground the corn.
Long years ago,
In the summers glow
And the autumns blow
And the winters snow,
II was full of life;
The waters rushed through the narrow bay,
And the tick-tack song was heard all day
Grinding the grain
That daily came
Down the crooked lane
TO the old mills door
Boys and men-men and boys
Chatted amidst the old mills noise,
Related their sorrows, spoke of their joys,
Joked and laughed for many an hour
While the miller turned the grists to flour.
Where are they
To be found to-day?
They silent and STILL
Like the miller and the mill.
All their grists of life have been ground;
All of them sleep beneath the moun nd
For like the mill
At the foot of the hill
They had their day
And passed away.
Some were weak and others were strong;
Some died young, while others lived long
One by one they dropped by the way
And not survivor lives to day.
But the ril runs along
With the same old song
And the same fresh glow
OF years ago.
Warm and cold, it never grows old;
And its banks still bloom with crimson and gold
just as it did when the miller was there
With snowy garb and powdered hair;
And the ife-stream flows
Through joys and woes;
And others now ride
On the lifelong tide,
Just as those did who went to that mill
just as those to follow will,
Till the wheels of Time shall stand as still
As the rafting wheels of that old mill.
