THE SUGAR MARKET.

The following from Messrs. VIII
lett & Hamlin's New York circular
of Sept. 18th, will interest all engag
ed in sugar. 1t emphasizes what has
before been stated, and is probably
a correct forecast of the market for
the next twelve months. Since its
publication, advices of cold weather
and snow in eastern Europe have
beeu received, which must still fur
ther reduce the crop of the present
year:
During the week under review it
has become more evident that the
unfortunate experiences of the Eu-
ropean sugar syndicate since July
have caused lower level of values
to be touched than is warranted by
the statistical position or crop pros
poets and that we are now passing
the lowest prices likely to be made
during the coming twelve months.
The beet crop is no longer consider
ed an early one and the latest report is
that the beet roots are inferior
in quality to last year. Re

BUSINESS along the wharves has
never been more active at this season
of the year than now, although the
shipments of produce are small.
The amount of lumber that is sent
from Honolulu to almost every port
in the group, by steamers and sail
ing vessels is quite large, and is evil
dence of increasing demand, not
only from plantations, but to supply
the wants of natives. At the same
time, the inter-island travel on the
steamers appears to be on the in
crease. Crowds move from one
island to another and others return
to take their place. These facts
seem to indicate prosperity among
the laboring classes as well as the
planters. We understand that i'm
provements are in progress on nearly
every plantation, giving demand
for laborers as well as for lumber
and building materials. This is
evidence of prosperity, not to be
denied.

MR. DILLINGHAM has laid on our
table finely-printed pamphlet, en-
titled Culture of Sugar Cane: Report
of the Water Supply for Irrigation
on the Honolulu and Kahuku
Ranches, Oahu, II. l., by James d.
Schuyler and G. II. Allardt, civil en-
gineers." Besides the above report,
which is a valuable contribution to
our scientific Investigations of the
hidden possibilities of these islands,
is large colored lithograph map of
Pearl River Lagoon and the sur
rounding districts, which will prove
valuable for reference, being a copy
of Hawaiian and q. S. surveys. The
pamphlet covers 80 pages of infor-
nation and statistics bearing on the
subjects Investigated.

TUESDAY, OCTOBER s. 1899.

ACCORDING to several of the Ameri-
can journals recently to hand, a
severe winter in North America and
Europe is feared owing to early
signs of wintry conditions in portions
of these countries; and, if these pre-
dictions should be verified, an unusu-
ally large number of ''birds of pas
sage" may be expected to visit these
islands during the early months of
winter. Recently there have been
considerable accessions to our popu-
lation from America, and during the
coming season large numbers of
tourists will stay over more or less
time on the islands so as to escape
the seventies of colder climates.

A Large Bridge.

QUEBEe, September 20. M. Eifel,
the builder of the great tower in
Paris. is expected here in November
to build a bridge over the st. Law
renee, which will connect the Inter
national Railway with the Canadian
Pacific and give Canada a cont1nu-
Gus road from the Atlantic to the
Pacific on her own territory. The
estimates of English and Canadian
engineers are for a bridge costing
$7,000,000 Eiffel's son and his part
ner, who are now here, estimate that
it can be built for $5,000,000.

THE ANTI-CHINESE QUESTION.

We publish in to-day's issue two
letters upon the Chinese question,
which were received on Wednesday
last from the island of Hawaii
Our friends on the other islands
seem to attach more comprehen.
sive Importance to the anti Chinese
movement than circumstances war
rant, and for their information we
may state:
1st. Thatthe movement is con-
fined to a class of tradesmen and
mechanics into whose business
Chinese competition is steadily cut
ting with destructive effect.
I'd. As we understand the move
ment, no desire has been publicly ex-
pressed to restrict labor on the plan
tations, except in cases where skilled
labor by white men is supplanted by
Asiatic mechanics.
Sd. The evil of Chinese competi-
ton in skilled labor and storekeep
ing is generally admitted, even
among those opposed to the move
ment, to be undermining certain
classes of white mems pursuits in
the island towns, and especially in
Honolulu.
4th. The difference in thought,
upon the chief points at issue, is
chiefly in the mode to be taken in
carrying out remedial measures.
9th. A very large majority of the
voters are opposed, for various rea-
sons, to an extra session of the Lee
gislature being held; and among the
chief of these reasons are an unwar-
rantable extra expense that would &C
crue, great obstacles that stand in the
way of calling members together, and
the danger of hasty and ill-considered
action at a time when the public
mind is occupied by other and more
urgent questions.
9th. The property owners, and
those who have large material in
terests in the country, keep entirely
aloof from the present anti-Chinese
movement; although admitting that
well considered restrictive measures
would, to some extent, be advisa-
BILE.
7th. A deputation of mechanics
and others have presented to the
Cabinet petition, embodying re-
solutions passed at the anti Chinese
meetings; but, SO far, no answer has
been returned, and there are very
grave reasons why an answer should
not be returned before being we'll
weighed in all its bearings.
The above statements comprehend,
as nearly as we can judge, the lead
ing facts regarding the Chinese
movement; and, in its present stage,
adverse criticism is superfuous, and
would only be received with the Gus
tomary published abuse. In short,
the question does not, in its present
stage, admit of argument that would
be beneficial to the country.
We may add that the anti Chinese
movement, SO far as is publicly
known, does not contemplate any in
justice to the planters; but only res
friction and regulation of some kind
that, as yet, seem to be crudely con-
sidered.

Rufus Cook. q civil and sanitary en-.
gincer, has addressed an open letter to
the city council Of Minneapolis. in which
be makes some pertinent and valuable
suggestions on the subject Of city SAM

Of cities there is constant tendency to
the accumulation of uusanitary condi
lions. Sanitary work consists in the
application Of preventive measuresrather
than curative, the latter being the prov
ince Of the physician. To insure this
sanitary work being fully carried out,
ample funds should bo appropriated to
the health department.

THE AMERICAN SOLDIER.

Adiuiant- General Drums report On
the militia of the States shows That
Pennsylvania has about 5000 organized
militia and New York about l5,VvV.
South Carolina IL credited with 5.3oo or
gained troops, while the populous state
OF Ohio has but 5G2s. So California has
1910 militia and Missouri only 2'OV5.
New Jersey IS notably strong militia
State in proportion TO population, hay
inc militia force OF 4ls4, while Ten
nessee has but l,5j1
II we take this as basis OF the forces
on which the United States could mo-
Billie an army it will be seen that 100000
available drilled troops could be put In
the field At ten days notice. The curious
thing in American military capacity Is
the perfect adaptabiliiy Of the people TO
military service. The business man be-
comes quartermaster or commissary
and his clerk carries the muskct. Ac-
c,rding to the tastes Of each citizen the
volunteer army ia formed.
The discipline is not one Of tyranny,
for the American soldier is patriot
and obeys as no fights. because of his
bride and ambition. We know how lit
tie the regular soldiers were worth In
the civil war when they came against
volunteers, and while we know that the
frame Of an army must be constructed
on the plan Of scientific knowledge Of
war, with enough scientific officers to
constitute the frame, still the main
thing IS f soldiery composed OF the
finest fighting material
The latter Is an acknowledged fact in
the American people, and tbs former is
a thing that we partly have now and can
amply and easily perfect If we have in
each State such military schools as the
Institute at Lexington. The light mod
ern tactics favor the efficacy Of the vol
unteer soldier, and it only needs a fine
MALTA system, such as General Drum
has IN view, to make our country the
greatest military power Of the world.

Sovereignty. OF course everybody
knows that the Malone Repub-

that they disgrace themselves when they
make Southern annex such as they

IS that the Republicans will be likely TO

For what says the proverbs a bird

And verify there is no use TO besmirch

Doubtless the northern Democrats
would like to see General Harrison play
