fell with the closed side downward, and
distenled by the torn note which was
roughly thrust into it. The surface
was hard and highly finished, and shap-
ed so as to resist the water. A little
breeze that had Just sprung up favored
it, and away it tloated, like little boat,
deity clearing the shore and tacking
and turning as it passed the dark, half
hidden breasts Of the little rocks over
which the water played.

And turning, she trlpped towards the
house.
At this moment, farther along this
same stream, where, in little cove lay
hidden great tangle Of water lilies,
Annie Conyers sat in a rough little boat
rowed by Mrs. Wilton's son Peter, a
shock headed boy Of II. Little Fannie
Wilton sat beside her; and the two girls
drew up the rank, dark, green stems Of
the great beautiful white flowers.
"lf one could only carry them to the
city," said Annie; but they will die.

Peter, in obedience to the mandate,

her hand outstretched to catch what
she thought was a floating lily 'Pshaw!.

changed and the children saw her pale

together and read it through.
She was u wise little woman and kept

creased risks. Surprising, for instance,
that our merchants large and small were
required to settle within ten days from
to-day. Every one knows what would
be the result. A good many small deal
ers, especially among the Chinese, would
be thrown into bankruptcy. The system
which exists might almost be said to
consist of sales by branch departments
OF the stronger houses. tits an unsound,
unbusinesslike state of affairs which per-
mits the existence OF large number OF
two-cent concerns existing wholly upon
credit. This matter touches the Chinese
question closer than many people mag
inc. A great many of the little Chinese
stores are existing to-day simply because
the so-called owners have purchased
their goods, tools and implements upon
credit from down town merchants gen.
orally. These little concerns furnish
most of the business for the Court sitting
upon bankruptcy matters.

questioning friend the answer he needs:
DR.. Hillebrand was born at Nieham,
Westphalia, in 1921. He studied at the
Universities OF Gottingen, Heidelberg
and Berlin. In the exercise of his pro-
fession he visited and was resident in
Australia, Manila, California and finally
these Islands. During his residence
here DR.. Hillebrand was private physi-
clan to Kamehameha ", was physician
OF the Queens Hospital and Insane
Asylum, was member Of the Board OF
Health, of the Royal Hawaiian Agricul-
tural Society and OF the Privy Council.
In 1866 he made voyage to China
and the East Indies as Commissioner of
immigration for the Hawaiian Govern
ment. Il was during this trip that the
Doctor collected plants and birds which
he introduced into the country. We
may say that he did not introduce the
lantana. He left the Islands in 1871
and made his residence in Germany,
Madeira and the Canary Islands.
His book, which We intend to review
in few days, is valuable contribution
not only to the literature of the Islands,
but to the general botanical knowledge
of the world.

TRADE is dull, so say the merchants.
The uncertain state OF affairs for some
time past, both commercial and political,
affords reason enough for this. The
question is, when is an improvement COM
ing? One merchant said few days ago
that he had not sold such small amount
OF goods as during the quarter now end
ing for many years. When asked if a
remedy could be suggested he had none
to offer. 1t is fact that business has
been very much overdone in past years.
We have imported very much more than
we needed. The warehouses in town
and country stores are full of goods in
most every line There must be some
limit to the wants OF eighty thousand
people. This is particularly so in view
of the character of this population.
Nearly one-quarter OF them are Chinese,
several thousand of them are Portu-
guese OF the poorer classes. About
forty thousand are native Hawaiians.
These three classes are not large pur-
chasers OF imported goods, and the
amount required to supply them can
not be very great as compared with
an equal number Of Europeans.
An economist of San Francisco rather
tersely but harshly put it when he said,
lyon will find out down there some
time that continual swapping of jack
knives is not trade" The trade of this
country, however, is not to be measured
by the business of an equal number of
people in an interior point of the United
States or any other country. In addition
to what is required for the industries Of
the country this is point of supply for
shipping interest. The
steamers which come and 90
take a good deal and the sailing vessels
taking goods from here to other parts OF
the Pacific or recruiting at our ports con-
stitute large item.
Our trade and business would be placed
upon much sounder basis if the system
Of long credits now existing were very
much reduced. A three months credit
which more often runs into a year is
simply an invitation to take largely in

Grand totals. "a ,552, AT 90 S., S97 ,131 SO
This is retrenchment to the tune OF
considerably over one million dollars.
The main retrenchment has been made
in the Interior Department, which, drops
about 100000. The Civil List, the
Permanent Settlements, the Expense of
Legislature and the Department OF For
eign Affairs also show very material
reduction. The total OF this in 1886
amounted to 1881, 100, while the total in
1888 for the same items is only 1896, 700
"a saving of 1924, 400, or very nearly
half 1t is just upon these items that
the saving should have been made.
The Legislature has, by this means,
been able to increase the rate for Educa-
ton and the Board OF Health, in the
former case by $4,000 and in the latter
by $4,000. A hundred thousand
OF this increase will go to the sup
port Of the unfortunate lepers. This
is undoubtedly the most enlight-
ened Appropriation bill that has ever
been passed for some time. Ii we
look back to the bill of 1884 we will find
a disproportion between the votes for
mere show and those for the solid adj
vantage OF the country. In that year the
vote for the Civil List and Foreign Al
fairs were each greater than the vote for
Education, the figures running: Civil
List $148, 800, Foreign Affairs 1859, 766
and Public Instruction only $137 ,520.
The Interior vote, which We have neither
the time nor the space to analyze, was
swelled to its undue proportions by
number of useless items There are no
such glaring discrepancies in the present
bill. Even as the bill stands there are
some votes which we cannot fully en-
dorse. We think there was at times a
tendency to extravaganza among the
members, but it was kept pretty we'll in
check and the result is very fairly salts
factory. Reform has given us this. 1t
has put the country once more uron the
right track and may it long continue to
follow it, The Legislature has done its
duty; we believe fully that the Ministry
will do theirs. A country cannot recover
from season OF misrule in day; the
iact has left an indelible mark, but there
S now bright hope for the future, and |
after the depression which has unavoid-
ably prevailed we may now look forward |
o revival of work which employs both
skilled mechanics and unskilIed lab
)rers.

LAST week the Yandalia left US. Her
stay in this port has been longer than
that OF any other American war vessel
excepting the Lackawanna, which was
here about seventeen months. The Van
dallas stay has been extremely pleasant
for US all and her departure will be re-
GREETED by everyone The only feature
connected with her stay of an unpleasant
nature was the annoying trouble which
so long prevented the Admiral's full en-
ioyment OF his visit. In this he had the
full sympathy OF the entire community.
Her departure may be said to mark the
close of one OF the most important epochs
in Hawaiian history. Coming Just at
the close OF the revolution she found
great excitement prevailing and fever
ish uncertainty as to what might come
next. She has witnessed two most i'm
portant sessions of the Legislature. Dur

A MAN on the street the other day
asked "Who was DR.. Hillebrand ."
The remark being called forth by dis
cussion in the Legislature relative to
allowing the late Dr's book to come into
the country duty free. In the remark
We have clear exposition Of how very
transient is the reputation OF even the
most prominent of US. Twenty years
ago there was not man, woman or
child on the whole islands, native or
foreign, who did not know the Doctor.
Besides being skilled in his profession
and occupying prominent positions the
Doctor was constant traveller over the
group, tramping on foot over the noun
tains and penetrating the deepest val
leys. Wonderful stories used to be told
by the natives OF his activity and pluck
in climbing breakneci, places in search
OF plants, for he was most enthusiastic
botanist
From the preface OF the Doctors book
We gather the following outline of DR..
Hillebrand's career, which will give our

The new road to the Volcano is to be
commenced as soon as surveys can be
made which will probably be within two
months. A surveyor and staff will soon
be put in the field. The projected line
will be as nearly as possible straight
from the point where the Volcano road
now enters the woods. Mr.. Rycroft's
work in Puma has demonstrated the fact
that where there is aa splendid road is
easily made. The new Volcano road
will follow the old aa flows. This is the
plan and it is believed that these flows
extend very nearly to the Volcano. This
belief is based upon the fact that the
"a flows soon become covered with heavy
forests, whereas the pahoehoe flows re.
main smooth and forbidding for many
years. This OF course is owing to the
fact that the aasdisintegrates much more
rapidly than the other. This accounts
for the fact that ON the Island OF Hawaii
broad belts of pahoehoe are found lined
on either side with heavy forests which
sometimes cross the flow. 1t is found
upon examination that the heavy forest
belts stand upon aa beds, or points
where the aa has broken through or COW
cred the pahoehoe flow. The heavy
forest entered four miles out of Hilo by
the Volcano road extends unbroken TO
points near the Volcano, which leads to
the belief that it stands upon "a and
that fine carriage road can be made
through it without very heavy expense.
1t seems probable indeed that the road
can be made to pay for itself to certain
extent by following Mr.. Rycroft's plan;
that is, to cut out heavy belt OF forest
on line with the proposed road, then
run traction engine in over the aa,
when the wood can be hauled out and
sold. 1t is not probable that the distance
to the Volcano can be very much short
ened, but fine carriage drive OF thirty
miles will be considered of no account
when measured against the present
rOJ1tps

THE "Aki Claim mot to use the
harsher term OF pre-revolution times
has a second time gone indelibly upon
the page of Hawaiian history Every
patriotic heart must fain have wished
that there was an end to that disagreea-
BILE matter being Haunted before the
eyes OF the world, when His Majesty
made solemn engagement with dele
CATION OF the people to see that justice
was done without stint in the matter.
1t must therefore have caused q
general sensation OF pain through
out the community when, few
months ago, it was whispered
about that the King through his
agents-appointed primarily so that the
stipulated justice should be executed
had taken the responsibility OF repudi-
sting the obligation OF kingly honor.
This position adopted by His Majesty
compelled the devisee in trust OF the
testator-claimant to seek redress for the
heirs OF the partly self-wronged man in
the Courts of the Kingdom. Thus has
come the second PRONUNCIATION of the
nations shame through the public hear
ing and records of the cause The re-
suit OF the suit is to be found in Judge
Preston's lucid and closely-reasoned de-
cision published in full in this issue. 1t
is that the claim having been publicly
acknowledged and arrangements to
which the King was freely party hav-
ing been made for its liquidation,
it has passed out of the province
where it might be outlawed
as part OF an illegal transaction.
Moreover and here it will be OBJ
served that the royal privilege of i'm
munity from all imputation of wrong
doing proves two-edged sword-it is
impossible that any matter or thing per-
tanning to the Kings person, or estate,
or dominion, can be considered on any
basis OF recognizing that anything illegal
or wrong can be done by the Sovereign
under our Constitution. The decision
just rendered is not necessarily final,
yet it is surely improbable that an
appeal will be taken to the full bench.
Justice Preston has woven a seemingly
web OF fact, law and equity
in front OF his conclusions, and, if pos
sibly, there are loopholes through which
to escape the essential points in His
Honor's reasoning, it would be subject
OF universal regret if the unsavory sub
relating to the pecuniary
issue should once more have to be par
AIDED before the nation and the world.
