GOVERNOR FRANCIS, Of Missouri,
advanced seven thousand dollars of his

PUMA, HAWAII.


Few of the districts about these
islands are so little known as Puma
in Hawaii. Yet there is far moro in
the district than is generally known
To pass along. as few travellers
do, by the main road, affords no
knowledge of the country. The
road Is monotonous and passes over
lava flows. But back of hapoho
there is quite an extent Of country
which would support considerable
population. Here coffee, Of excel
lent quality, grows wild, and fruit
trees such as oranges, lines, and, on
the higher lands, some OF the fruits
OF the temperate zone might easily
be raised. Corn and sweet potatoes
might also be grown in large quan-
titles. Then there is the cOcoanut
crop. Practically no use is made OF
1t; there are thousands upon thou
sands OF trees, and according TO cal
eulations Of those engaged in the
trade in the South Pacific, they
ought TO yield one dollar year
each. The nuts, however, in many
cases, fall to the ground and either
rot away or are split as food for the
pigs

region useful is 8 good road. At

THE HIL0 RAILROAD.

The Hilo railroad was most feas-
ible scheme, and it is great pity it
was not carried through. 1t might
have been in course of construction
now, had it not been for the petty
jealousy of people in this very city
of Honolulu. The Hilo railroad
scheme received its death blow in
Honolulu, not in London. But that
was two years ago, and the eyes of
our people are beginning to be
opened to the immense advantages
to be gained from opening up fine
section OF agricultural country. The
success of the Oahu railroad, and we
have no doubt of the success, will
mean the revival of the Hilo railroad
scheme
A railroad running through Hilo
and Hamakus will open up the most
fertile and best watered portion of
the group. At present in Hamakua
the only thing cultivated is cane. 1t
is no use to cultivate fruit, beyond
small quantity for home consump-
ton. What would be the good of
growing perishable crop, when for
weeks together there is no means of
shipping it to market. Time and
again, when there is a northerly
swell, not boat load of cargo can
be taken off any landing from Ku-
kuihaele to Ookala. But build
railroad, and all this would be
changed. In the first place, as re-
CARDS the planter, he would never
have his sugar lying on his hands;
it would be forwarded to Hilo daily;
and from thence it could be shipped
direct to the Coast, thus saving con-
siderable handling; and there would
be no risk of boats overturning as
there is along the Hamakua coast.
Then, as regards fruit. The dis
trict can produce almost anything in
the fruit line either tropical or tenn
perate. The upper gulches which
are not used for cane could grow
thousands Of bunches of bananas. |
The only reason that the Island of |
Oahu has monopoly in the banana
trade is the lack of proper means of |
shipment on the other islands. With |
4 railroad the bananas could be sent |
into Hilo and shipped direct to San
francisco. This would necessitate
; steamer, and we believe a direct
steamer would pay. Passengers for
he Volcano would certainly go di-
.eet to Hilo, while there is now, even
~ sailing vessel quite streamlet of
rayel to and fro. But to return to
ruit: lines, oranges, pineapples,
,ears and figs, could all be grown
,rcftably. Coffee Of good quality is
low raised in small quantities, or
ather is allowed to grow Wild. 1t
,0uld be Systematically grown at a
,roft. Those who have never been
trough the Hilo and Hamakua dis

Murders by Wiley Matthews.

Ozark, Nc, 12.-The most sensa-

ley Matthews, the condemned bald
knobber who should have been hang
ed when the Walkers and his broth

cape, was one received from Arkan-
sas that the outlaw had killed two
men who attempted to arrest him.
1t is stated that the killing was
done thirty miles south of Kirby
vile in Boone county, Arkansas, and
color is given to the report by the
fact that it is positively known here
that Matthews had been seen a
short time before in Arkansas near
where he is said to have committed
the crime.
No details of the killing can be
had at present, but the report is
generally believed here, as Matthews
was well armed when last seen.

How The Whipping Post Works.

''Our whipping post doesn't seem
to take very we'll with your people
mp here" said Governor Biggs of
Delaware shortly after he made his
great short talk at the Tammany
centennial. I told him that there
did seem to be something of feel
ing in Few York against the whip
ping post and other methods of six
teenth century punishment.
Well" continued the old gentle
man, 1--WE are old fashioned people
down in Delaware, and I presume
we are away behind the times in a
great many things, and rather set
in our ways. Now I am not an apol-
ogist for the whipping post because
1 don't believe that Delaware needs
any apologies made for her people
or her acts, and if I did they wouldn' I
come with very good grace from her
executive; but I can tell you some
facts.
There is not in the state of Del
aware to-day a single penitenitiary.
If man beats his wife or sets fire
to neighbor's barn, or breaks into
a house, he isn't shut up with a lot
of other criminals with full time
and opportunity of learning their
tricks of deviltry that he did not
know before. As a preventive OF
crime the whipping post has much
greater terror than a term in the
penitentiary, and I havenever known
man to come back for a second
dose. He simply leaves the state
Maybe he comes to New York,
don't know. At any rate he seeks
another home. and you may rest as
sured that if he stays in Delaware he
lives quiet life, To be sure it is &
relic of barbarism. but it is our way.
