SaMEraLNG ABolT tonga.



The death of Prince Taifone, the
heir-spparent to the Tonga throne.
cuts off the succession in a direct
line; ard when the aged king dies
the kingdom of Tonga, or the
Friendly Islands, viii ne annexed to
the government of FIJI from which
colony it is only 300 miles distant
indeed some of the outlying islands
of both groups are within sight of
each other.
The present king, George, of Ton-
ga has reigned over 50 years; and
his kingdom has been practically un-
der British protectorate for over
80 years. The entire trade Of the
Tonga islands is with the Australian
colonies; and the traders resident
upon the islands are British, and
conduct branches of Australian busi-
ness houses.
Tongataboo, the-largest and chief
island of the group, is about 100
miles long by about % miles wide.
1t is of coral formation without any
natural elevation more than 100 feet
above sea level. The soil is very
fertile throughout, and there is
large inland saltwater lagoon having
a navigable passage to the ocean.
Upon this island the capital Nuke
loffa, is situated; but its harbor is
only a roadstead.
Yauvau, Apai, and Eoa are the
other islands of the group of any
size worthy of mention. and the
first named possesses a good har-
Dor and is of volcanic origin.
The exports consist OF cocoanut
oil, eopra, tobacco, cotton, ceeoanut
fibre, etc; and the population OF the
group is about 10000 natives. The
white and half caste population is
about 500, most of these being re-
sident in the city of Nukeloffa,
Tongataboo.
The protestant missionaries are
Wesleyan Methodists, and the Cath
olic missionaries are from France.
The latitude and climate are similar
to the Hawaiian Islands.
King George is now aboutS9 years
of age, and is a Wesleyan mission
ary-preaching every Sunday in the
native church at Nukeloffa.

KoNA AS a HEALTH-RESoRr.

Why IS not some effort made to
improve the natural advantages of
Kona? As health resort for people
suffering from pulmonary COM
plants its climate is unriyslled, If is
a place to which doctors are forever
bidding their patients to go, and yet
there are no proper accommodations
for sick people when they get there
1hepe are, it is true, one or two
places where people can get rooms,
but sick people need far more than
anything Kona can at present
offer. Private enterprise is needed.
We would think it would pay some
physicians to invest in suitable sites
aud establish regular sanitarium.
Well conducted and well advertised
we feel confident that the enterprise
would become veFy-suecessful. But
it would, in the first place, require
money to run it as it should be run.
Kona is easily reached from here,
the steamer being at Kealakekua
Bay within twenty-four hours of
leaving Honolulu. The latter part
of the voyage, being along the lee
ward side of the Island of Hawaii, is
like sailing over a mill-pond. Vari-
Gus kinds of climate can be obtained.
Along the coast it is extremely dry,
a couple of miles inland, up the
mountain side it is cool, with
frequent showers in the afternoon.
Patients should have the oppor
tunity of trying both situations.
We have known patients to be much
benefited by changing about in
this way. = 20
With its natural advantages Kona
ought to be able to restore to health
hundreds of people who are now
seeking a proper climate and not
finding it. 1t should be to the
States what Madeira is to northern
Europe. But if we have natural
advantages they are of little use
till we improve them. It does
really seem as if the enterprise
which marks all who inhabit the
Western States, begins to dlminish
somewhat when it reaches these fav-
ored islands. Sugar is the be all
and end of all enterprise here. A
company mighttake UP the work of
establishing the sanitarinm !. sug
gested. Successful, it would be of
advantage to all the steamer lines.
1t would benefit many people, for in
a large majority of cases, the healthy
would accompany the sick.

THE PALACE WALL.

The removal Of the high unsightly
wall which surrounded the Palace
has been the occasion Of many com
ments, a few regretting its demoli-
ton: but the majority are delighted
with the beautiful view aud spacious
grounds which the removal of the
wall now reveals. L can in a short
fine be transformed into the pret-
test park in the city, the admiration
ofevery one. The same changes are
going on in other places. A San Jose
paper speaks as follows of the great
Improvement made in that city by the
removal of the high board fences
and walls, some of them built many
years ago, when that place was
known as mission station only:
Everything which detracts from
the beauty and attractions Of our
city should be removed and every
thing which adds to its beauty
should be encouraged, We think
no one who remembers the old
fences which used to surround St
James Park and the Hotel Vendome
grounds viii hesitate to say that the
beauty of these parks has been in
creased in a great degree by their
removal and allowing an unob-
structed view OF the grass, flowers
and walks. There are many private
residences in the city whose owners
have thrown off the old idea that
they.and their possessions must be
fenced in. Years ago when the
fields and farms of all America
which was settled, were rallied and
staked and ridered in, travellers in
France and other portions of Europe
remarked the great contrast in refer
enee to beauty between the open
fields there and the ungainly fences
here. You may travel hundreds of
miles in France without seeing q
fence. In the Eastern towns and
cities fences are fast becoming
things of the past. Any neatly kept
home looks fifty per cent. better
without fence. even when the fence
is neat and ornamental"

ISLAND CRIME.

There have been several serious
crimes committed in various parts of
the Islands which go to show that the
character of our population is chang
ing. There was time when the
crime of murder was of very rare
occurrence, and then the causes of it
were usually jealousy or some kin
dred passion. Murder for greed
was practically unknown. This is
now very much changed. Murder
for the sake of obtaining money has
become far too common. During
the past eight or nine years there
have been quite a number of cases,
and, if our memory serve us, they
have in nearly every instance been
committed by Chinese. This points
to two necessities. One, that por
ton of our police should, if possible,
be acquainted with the Chinese Ian
guage; in point of fact that some of
them should be Chinese. Three or
four Chinese detectives would be
very valuable. Perhaps a still better
place would be to send to Hongkong
and obtain Europeans who are
acquainted with the Chinese Ian
guage. To speak Chinese is by no
means as rare an accomplishment as
it was twenty-five years ago.
Secondly, the idea of mounted
constabulary must be revived. The
last experiment in mounted police
proved such an utter failure that the
very idea is usually secuted. But
because such body was misused in
the past, there is no earthly reason
why it should be SO in the present.
There is absolute need for patrol
duty not only in the outskirts of the
city but also along the lonely roads
of the country districts. The con-
stable, who is dependent upon any
broken down nag that he can hire,
is long way behind the regular
mounted constabulary man, upon
well fed and we'll trained horse. To
organize such a mounted police we
do not require military men, we re-
quire those who have had to deal
with constabulary. There are several
men in the islands who have occu-
pied such positions for years and
who could be got together for
nucleus. Lastly when the next Leg
islature meets there viii have to be
a very much larger appropriation
made for police of all kinds and the
force very much increased. The
civil authority has not, at present,
sufficient power to cope with the
criminal classes Of the community.
We believe that the best is done

OUT DOOR SPORTS.


A very healthy sign among the
rising generation here is the fond
ness for athletic and out of door
sports. A couple of decades ago the
only amusement for young men was
riding. Now we have a regular base
ball season and see some very good
play. Much is done in the way OF
boating, while the richer people have
gone in for yachting All this de
velopes the muscles, expands the
chest, trains the eye and keeps the
nerves in good order. Then there is
the drilling and training in the rife
corps, with q weeks camping out
next year, we hope For the fair
sex there IS lawn tennis, and we are
now getting some very good players.
How much superior to the effeminate
cro9uet of twenty-five and thirty
years ago. Lawn tennis develops
fine. healthy young women instead
of languid milk and water misses.
Some people look upon even
such amusements as of questionable
utility. But we feel satisfied that
nothing is better for the youth of a
nation than plenty Of healthful out
door exercise. Young men, who en-
gage in boating, in baseball. and so
forth. are going to be more steady
than the generation which had no
such opportunities. A man to be a
crack shot, or a good pitcher, must
lead a very regular life. II Re does
not he cannot hold his pre- eminence
long. A fondness for athletic sports
is thus direct incentive to virtue.
We have a rather shrewd idea that
pull round the spar buoy gives as
much healthy moral tone as a very
long lecture; in fact the old saying
is pretty true one "a healthy soul
viii accompany a healthy body"
1t behoeves, then, the older mem
bers of the community, to show that
they take a thorough interest in all
kinds of athletic sports and to give
their young men ample opportunity
for indulging in them. There is
really no reason why some of our
places of business close as late as
they do. An Improvement has been
made by giving the Saturday half
holiday; but still greater improve
ment can be made by reducing the
length of the Office hours, and clos
ing somewhat earlier than is, in some
cases, now done. We do not mean
that large number of our citizens
do not take the liberal view, but there
are some who do not and who viii be
all the better for little shaking up.

means are not sufficient.
SOUTH SEA EXHIBITION.


A New Zealand and South Sea
Exhibition is now being held in a
British colony, New Zealand, at the
very outer edge Of the clusters of
Islands known as the South Sea
Islands" When it is possible to
make a success of a South Sea exhi-
bitten in a small British colony 10
degrees south of the tropics, and
where the characteristics of the
tropical islands are unknown, ex-
eepting among comparatively small
number who have visited some of the
groups, how much better success
would attend q South Sea or Pacific
Island exhibition at Honolulu, which
is within the tropics and has many
Of the ehar4eteristies Il efthe countries
whose products would be exhibited?
Situated as Honolulu is, as a COM
merciai center of the Pacific, and
within the geographical ares.ot the
belt of tropical islands of this vast
ocean, the success that would attend
judiciously planned and skillfully
conducted exhibition in this city of
Pacifc-island products, is incalcul-
able; and the more this matter is
studied in all its bearings, the more
favorable does the scheme appear.
1t would be no exaggerated esti-
mate that 25,000 strangers could be
drawn to visit the Hawaiian Islands
upon an occasion of this nature;
and, as an advertisement of Homo
lulu and the islands, nothing could
possibly be more effective.
The cost need not be very large to
this Kingdom; little more would be
required than the cooperation of the
residents, and liberal grants of faciIi-
ties in aid of the. work. For. an
enterprise of this kind, foreign capi-
tai could easily be had, because of
the profits that accrue to well man
aged exhibitions.
We're our Government to advertise
that such a movement is in contem-
plation at Honolulu, the amount of
aid that would be offered from all
quarters, and the amount of interest
that would be taken in the move
ment, would be astonishing il, its
bulk. and ramifcations.
Honolulu is the queen city of the
Pacifc; and the mere fact that a
British colony IN the far southern
seas, hardly within the limits of the
Pacific ocean, should successfully
carry out an exhibition of Pacific
island products, is arefection upon
Hawaiian enterprise that only a
better exhibition at Honolulu can
wiipe cut. 4 5h7 Q -
This is matter that interests all
the business men of these islands,
irrespective of political .considera-
tions, and it is to be hoped that
movement toward having Pacific
Island Exhibition, at or near Homo
lulu, will proceed from our residents
of influence, because upon their
initiatory- aid would be the only
promise of ultimate success.
The articles to be exhibited would
not only comprise all island products
and manufactures; but also the
machines, implements, textile fab
RIGS, etc, of all parts Of the world;
and especially the articles market
able in the tropical regions Of this
vast ocean.

CAPITAL FOR MINOR ENTERPRISES.

Too many eggs in one basket" is
what is charged by naval writers
when speaking Of the great ironclads
of the day. And .too many eggs in
one basket" is what we must charge
against the fnanciers of this country.
Sugar is the beginning and the end
of all our prosperity. Here no one
will think of advancing money save
upon the great staple, for that, even
in unlikely places, money can always
be found. But why cannot money
be advanced in small sums for small
enterprises? Take for example fruit.
There are many people who would
give their industry if they could
only get sufficient capital to tide
them over the first proftless years of
fruit culture There are lands even
about Honolulu where considerable
quantities of fruit could be raised
which would find a ready market,
both here and in San Francisco.
Upon the opening of the new rail
road more of such lands will be
opened. What will then be needed.
Will be loan and investment com
pany which will be willing to ad-
vance money at moderate rate of
interest for the purchase of small lots
of land, and assistance in cultivat-
ing them. There is plenty of money
here seeking investment, why not
put it to such good purpose instead
of allowing it to remain idle? Such
a company formed of our own capi-
talists will be a real boon and Will
very likely help to solve some of the
social problems at present agitating
the public mind. 1t viii tend to
raise up a sturdy intermediate class
between the mere wage Garner and
the sugar planter-a class upon
whom thorough reliance can be
placed in all times of political diff
Guilty. What we want is to get the
eggs of prosperity spread around
among the people. Those who have
already got their eggs must contri-
butte a few to assist those who
have not, and by SO doing they will
find their own baskets filling up
faster than ever.
Another thing that should be here
is Building Society" The mem
bers of such societies are assisted
either in erecting their own houses
or in purchasing those they already
occupy. Thousands of small house
holders in other countries owe their
happy homes to the advantageous
workingsof these societies. We talk
here of the Government doing every
thing. There ought to be private
enterprise at the heels of fgovernment
work, and in the lines above indi-
Gated this is an ample field. Let our
capitalists think over the matter.

the question of bonding the city for the
construction of "a sewer and give tho sub

has been found by modern au-
tIoritics ON sewer construction
that the larger sewers formerly built
are less healthy and much more Sbjec-
tionable than those of smaller area. Care
full calculation has been made by csmpc-
tent engineers regarding the PROPOSED
sewer i'm this city, and the authorities are
satisfied that the size Of pipe which il is
proposed to use, with the fall which can
