ELSEWHERE will be found the off
clal tables of domestic exports for the
past quarter, and comparison of those
for the past two years. In the prin-
cipal article of export, sugar, the de-
crease is so small as to be matter OF
agreeable surprise to both planters
and the general public. Estimates
based on acreage combined with
severe drought that befell the
young cane, made at the begin
ming of the year by those having
the best chance of knowing, were
that there would be a decrease of
from ten to twenty thousand tons.
The event proves that there has been
the comparatively trifing decrease of
less than one thousand seven hun
bred tons. This gratifying disap-
pointment may be partially at
tributed to a period of stimulating
weather following the drought, but
undoubtedly largely to improved
methods in manufacture, whereby
nearer approach has been made to
getting all the sugar out of the cane.
Rice exports present a tremendous
increase of nearly double the guam
tity of the previous year. No won
der, in view of this fact, that our
Chinese merchants have held up so
wonderfully in the midst of pre-
yailing depression during the past
year! Bananas show a substan-
tial increase of thirteen thousand
punches, or over Is per cent. A
rather enormous decrease in the ex-
portation of wool is exhibited, only
about one-ffth of the quantity ex
ported in 1886 being recorded for the
past year. Ava has fallen off more
than one-half, whether from increased
home consumption of the noxious
drug or poor crops we are not pres
emily informed. Curiously enough
tallow shows a handsome increase,
while the cognate products of hides
and skins have decreased. This may
imply that the animals slaughtered
during the past year were better fav-
ored than in the previous year. A
quadrupled export of taro -four is
very gratifying as giving promise of
the establishment of new produc-
tive industry. On the whole the re-
turns of exports for the past year are,
when all circumstances are consid-
cred, not at all discouraging to anti
cipations of increasing national pros
perity in the future.

to ocean, and all the way,
at the highest points in the
mountains, was several yards
below the level of the ocean.
Mr.. DE Mark believed the canal
could be finished before 1890 if
the requisite funds were forthcoming.
For the first six months the Chagres
river need not be turned aside, be-
cause it was harmless and its waters
would not injure the canal. After one
vessel passed through, the success of
the canal would be assured, and six
months would be enough to raise
to money turn the Chagres
In the issue of the 0hroni-
Gle that contains this interview
with the Egyptian expert, startling
figures which argue against the
scheme" are given in report on the
canal by Sylvanus Miller, member
of the American Society of Civil En-
gineers. After giving his figures,
Miller proceeds to show the advan-
taees of the route selected for the
Nicaragua canal over that of the Pa
mama ditch, and expresses the convic-
ton that when work is once forcibly
started on the Nicaragua enterprise
De Lesseps will be unable to raise
more money, and work on his canal
will be abandoned.

A SYSTEM of food inspection is an
undoUbted desideratum in this King
dom which should not be long de
layed of adoption Otherwise the pro-
verbal lifetime allotment of bushel
of dirt to be eaten will be the
portion of each inhabitant many
times in a generation. There are not
only seconds" and thirds" but
absolute refuse, and articles of food
and drink away below the wholesome
standard, in both home and foreign
productions, vended in this market.
Even honest local dealers are i'm
posed upon in some cases by this
country being treated as dumping
ground for foreign trash. Instances
could be given to illustrate the fore
going statement, but, as they might
tend to spoil healthy appetites for
proper food, they are Just as we'll
withheld As, however, other coun-
tries have jealous regard for the
purity of their food supplies, the
matter should become one of serious
consideration here, until a system of
inspection within the means of the
Kingdom be evolved

for a joyous demonstration in all
those centers. In San Francisco, at
eight minutes past five in the even I
ing, "the city hall bell and all the
bells and gongs connected with the
fire alarm telegraph sounded three
strokes in slow succession. At the
same time firing of cannon at the
Preside announced to the citizens of
the metropolis of the Golden State
that another great triumph in rail
road construction had been com
pleted, and that California and Ore
gon were at last united with bands
of steel. The event was the subject
of conversation on the streets and
source of hearty congratulatiOn on all
sides. Almost simultaneously with
the striking of the fire bells, the fac
tory steam whistles in the lower por-
ton of the city began in shrill tones
to join the joyful acclamations Even
the ferryboats, tugboats and other
steam craft lent the aid of their
whistles to the general reiolcings.
On the shipping and in many parts

A FRIEND has handed us an edi-
torial clipped from the Ann Arbor,
Michigan, Register, some of the senti-
ments of which are applicable to this
country while others should be taken
as warnings against any appearance
here of the abuses mentioned. After
referring to a manifest increase of
crime in that State and in the whole
country, the article says: "One thing
is evident: public opinion must be
educated up to the point that the
safety of the community demands a
more rigorous execution of the laws
in the punishment of criminals That
there is need of improvement in this
line can hardly be a question. 1t is
humiliating to notice what false pleas
are suffered to prevail IN our courts
of justice. and what unworthy efforts
are put forth to shield the offender
and mitigate the severity of the SEN
tence No matter how enormous may
be the crime, or clear and convicting
the evidence. it is matter of great
uncertainty whether the offender will
ever receive his deserved punish
ment."
The Register comments on the laws
delays in preventing the final dis
posal of criminals, and on the farcical
character of much of what goes for
penal servitude, then adds: This
matter of compromising crimes also
needs to be taken in hand, If you
will pay back certain amount of the
money you have stolen from me,
viii not appear against you This
is openly said in almost all com
munities, and they are blots upon
our civilization. and shouldsn be
tolerated" The paper quoted from
then points out a new plea for defeat
ing justice in the punishment of
criminals, particularly those who have
disgraced high positions in society
through their rascality, being appli-
cations for their release on the
grounds of impaired health, indis-
position, ETC., and concludes ::
" Wbat we say is this: public
opinion should be aroused to the
necessity of Furnishing crime and
protecting society"

The item of eighteen hundred and
odd pounds of taro -four among last
years exports is not much in itself.
but, according to the proverbial state
ment that the man who makes blade
of grass grow where none grew be-
fore is q benefactor of the race, the
exhibit referred to is suggestively
important. 1t represents new in
dustry producing an article for ex-
port, and the product exported has
quadrupled in quantity from the pre-
vious year. Should the article be
pushed in foreign markets so as to
maintain this geometr1cal rate of in
crease, it would very soon become
one of the most important articles in
our list of exports. There should be
a possibility of creating large de
mand for such nutritious esculent
in countries where it is not produced,
as a wholesome variation in the
food supplies OF all classes and
a useful addition to dietetics. But the
Importance of any new product such
as this is not confined to itself. Its
appearance on the trade returns sug-
gests the question as to whether

many other new products may not
by enterprise be made to swell the
list of Hawaiian exports; also the
cognate question as to whether the
domestic food supply may not be so
increased from our own soil as to save
large amounts now sent abroad. The
manner in which these questions are
practically met will very largely de-
eide the degree of the country's
future prosperity. They should be
kept in view along with the matter of
Government homesteading and pri-
vate colonization enterprises. There
ought to be some organized means
for directing settlers of the soil in
the lines of production calculated to
be the most profitable to the pro-
ducers. Otherwise indomitable in
dustry and exemplary thrift may be
rewarded with discouraging results,
that will have very bad reflex infu-
ence upon agricultural enterprise in
subsequent periods.
