The Planters. Monthly.

The issue for November is on the
table, and contains the reports OF the
doings at the annual meeting, and the
various reports then presented and read.
We wish that the proceedings had been
given more full, that is, that the discus
sions on the various reports and topics
brought in, had been reported at more
length, as they were very interesting.
From this number we learn that the
planters in Louisiana are troubled with
the cane borer as badly, if not worse,
than here. The attention of planters is
called to an article relative to the new
disease which threatens to exterminate
the sugar cane in Java, and ifit destroys
the cane there, it will hardly be possible
to prevent its reaching other countries.
No cane should be allowed to be brought
into this country. We have the best
sugar cane in the world, and need no
ueu varieties

Still Increasing-9,s2O Bunches Bana-
mas in One Week.

The above is the number of punches
shipped away by the Mariposa and Aus
tralia during the past week. AS no
steamer left this port for San Francisco
between October 25th and Nov
ember 10th, there was a period of
twenty-five days when no shipments
could be made, and the bananas ripen-
ing during that period we're loss to the
growers. This is perishable fruit, and
must be picked from tine trees at GER
tain stage of growth to insure being de-
livered in San Francisco in first-class
order. Had steamer been leaving be-
tween the I'd and 10th inst, probably
two or three thousand punches might
have gone away which have not been
sent. These statistics emphasize the
statement of this paper yesterday regard
ing the necessity of another steamer.

THE MECHANICS UNION.
Presentation and Adoption of Plat
form.

Presentation and Adoption of n Plat
form.
The Mechanics Union held their re-
gularly weekly meeting Friday night at
Knights of Pythias Hall, the President
Mr.. John Phillips in the chair. After
the reading of the minutes of the pre-
vious meeting by Secretary Stone num-
Der of new applications were presented
and read and on a vote they were all
elected. The next business was the pre-
sentation of platform which has been
long looked for, and which was read and
after some little argument adopted. Fol-
lowing is the platform:
Whereas, The workingmen feel that
they are not represented either in the
Executive or Legislative branches of the
national government and that their in
terests and reasonable wishes are ignored
and almost wholly disregarded in both
the making and administration of the
laws of the kingdom, and
Whereas, They believe that in JUS
tice to themselves and their families de-
pendant upon them for support, they
should take such united action as may
seem necessary to give effect to their
views in the councils Of the Nation.
Therefore, In convention assembled,
we deem it fitting that declaration be
made of the principles of the Mechanics
and Workingmen's Political and Protec-
tive Union Of the Hawaiian Islands.
We therefore declare-that the object
of the Union is to aid and support all
legal political measures which will adj
vance the interests of the workingmen
and mechanics of this country and thus
enhance the public good.
We will adhere to the following plat
form:
First-That the Cabinet Ministers and
all the chief officers of departments
under the executive, be elected by the
people, and that excessive salaries be re-
duced.
Second-That the property and income
qualifications of voters for Mobiles be
abolished.
Third-That it is the earnest wish of
the Union that such suitable restrictive
legislation be initiated without delay as
may be necessary to control the intro
duction of immigrant labor and prevent
the bringing to these shores of pagan
and pauper hordes to be eventually
turned loose upon the country and
crowd the natives of the soil, the foreign
mechanic and workingman out of their
means of livelihood and employment.
Fourth-That laws be enacted where
by people may derive greater benefits
than are now enjoyed under the present
Homestead Act.
Fifth-That we will strongly support
liberal policy with regard to education
and public Improvements, having in
view the development OF the resources of
the country, by opening up ready and
convenient communication with its vari-
GUS parts, roads, bridges, harbors, the
deepening of the channel and harbor of
Honolulu, building of new wharves, Civ
ing greater facilities to foreign and do
nestle commerce, as well as the en-
couragement of such industries as will
give employment to the laboring classes
and people of small means.
The meeting then adjou rned till next
Friday evening.
