AGRICULTURE.
0. j. MARSHALL I
Editor.

Nlheteen"tWentieths Of our urCountrv's
population belong tothe farming class.
Why should they not look out for
their own interests? Those who do
the work, produce the necessities of
LIE and pay the bulk Of the taxes.
VINO has 9 better right to organize for
protection than they9 Some of our
agricultural friends say it's all right,
but the farmers will not stick together.
This is false impression. Many of our
class have this idea and do not hesitate
TO give expression to it and IN fact so
general is the erroneous opinion that
many really doubt the possibility of
farmers standing together at all. Evi-
dently this is due to false ideas and
more a creature Of education than is
generally supposed.
Not many centuries ago those
that titled the soil were slaves and
servants OF the landlord and noble,
the most ignorant class. The actual
farmer was not permitted to do busi-
ness other than eat, drink and work.
TO day things are vastly different, the
man who plows the ground and sows
the grain is also the man that buys the
machinery and markets the produce of
the farm. We plainly see that as
time has advanced the farmer has
gradually improved in skill and intel,
ligence until now he can do business
for h imself. This intelligence has led
ann to see how a great deal of his
labor goes to support other classes, and
only recently has organized tc over
come these difficulties. Last year in
places, the farmers built warehouses
and shipped their own grain saying
from 3to cents per bushel; also bought
coal saving 81 to 50 per ton. They
stood together! With the fact that
the wheat surplus Of the United States
Is now less than for the past six years
should farmers not consider whether
wheat will be a paying crop for 's8
especially it the season continues late
and cold.
The following might be discussed
by local Farmers Alliances to advan.
tage.

The distances in Honolulu being great, many livery carriages are in use. They are two-seated and arc all alike, one horse being used in drawing them. l think Honolulu uses as many livery carriages as does Detroit. The Chinese problem Is coming to thefront in the Sandwich Islands as well as else where In Honolulu whole streets are occupied by the Chinese. They work at the laundry business in part and are also walters and servants. Many small shops in all the islands are run by Chinese. Almost all the poi is made by them, and the white poi flag is seen everywhere. Poip Oh. the taro is vegetable, gray in color and about tho size of our beet Raw it Is unfit for food, but baked it forms large proportion of the food of the islands. It is cooked and pounded with iron mallets. It is then mixed with water until it assumes about the consistency of starch, when it is put into barrels and allowed to ferment for about twenty-four hours. It has then acquired an acid taste, and is then to the native islander what rice is to the Chinaman.
 The government of the Sanewicf. Islands now may be said to be in the hands of the Missionary party. The descendants of the old missionaries form very important part of the financial and intellectual strength of the islands.---Detroit Free Press.

kALAkAuA'S PALACE.
Where the Profigate Rulor of the Ha-
 ev waiian Islands Lives.

Where the Profiigate Rulor of the Ha-
 waiian Islands Lives.
 The royal palace-called sIsalani' occupies square of about five hum dred feet in the center of the city, and is surrounded by high wall formed of stone and cement. Just outside of the palace wall are the barracks for the handful of native troops, of which His Royal Highness can boast. The palace itself is a large and imposing structure, two stories high. It is a very handsome building. The throne room is large and beautifully-finishe apartment. The throne for His Majes- ty and the Queen is on raised dais at one end of the apartment. The wood work is of koa or native wood The hangings are of red damask. The state dining-room is also very large and elegant It is hung with portraits of foreign sovereigns, notably one of Louis Philippe. The state recep- tion room is. hung with blue, gaudy colors predominating through out the palace. Opposite one of the gates in the palace wall is located the government building. This is hand some stone structure. In front of this stands bronze statue of Kamehameha l., founder of the kingdom. He was King of one of the islands and con- quered all the other Kings and gath cred the Hawaiian group into one dominion.
 
 The present King, Kalakaua-mean- ing Day of Battle-is not of Kame- hameha descent, but was elected to the throne in default of an heir apparent, none having been named by the sov- ereign. He is not man who com mands the respect of the better classes of people on his islands. He is much more at home with his native singers and dancers at Kailua than in man. aging and conducting governmental affairs at Honolulu. In June last his actions became so intolerable that the leading citizens of Honolulu inau- gurated a bloodless revolution forcing the King to dismiss the entire cabinet and appoint citizens whom they named, and also to sign a new constitution virt- ually modelled upon that of the United States. The Queen is of good demeanor and possesses more or less dignity. They have no children, and their ap parent is Mrs. J. 0. Dominis, wife of the Governor of the island She is the Kings sister. Her husband is white, color not counting for much in that country. The royal Hawaiin band, in the employ of the government, is one of the attractions. It is composed of thirty-three members, all natives. They pmy as well as any hrst-class band in this country. They perform every Monday morning in the palace square and in the public squares three times week. Their singing Of native songs k notable feature of their per- f0rmancas-

rnxsstInr rranhlln,. Money.


 Tn 1890 will end the term of one hum dred voars during which the cities of Bos- ton and Philadelphia have each enjoyed the revenue from bequest of s. 600 made By Benjamin Franklin. The money was to be loaned out to young married arti- iicers, aud the trust has been executed, although the lapse of the century requires new disposition of the funds. It is significant that while in Boston tho S, 900 has grown to nearly S328,000, in Phila- dolphia the $5, 900 has become only $70 900, and that in both cases the amount is less than Franklin estimated 1t should be. But as the natural philosophers of Frank lin's day generally fell short of the sage in ingenuity, so too tho sncces sive boards of trustees have been far from equal to him in business ability. It is interesting to note however, tha. the two funds still exist, and that part of the Boston reserve goes in the purchase of public reorea- ton ground to be known as Franklin Park.

 Hunchbacks form tolerable numer- ous list There is that brilliant sol dier, the Marechal de Euxemburg, of whom Macaulay writes in one of his most finished passages: Highly descended and gifted as he was, he had with difficulty surmounted the ob- stacles which impeded him in the road to fame. If he owed much to the bounty of nature and fortune, he suf- fered still more from their spite His features were frightfuliy harsh; his stature was diminutive; a huge and pointed lump rose on his back The reader knows the hunchbacked Rich ard of Shakespeare's powerful drama; but historical research seems to have delivered the King from his burden, and to have sworn that he was only high shouldered.
