Fine Sport of the Census Taker.

flne SpOFI Vi tne SensuS IaAef'
From the White Republican.
The story of Mr.. Petroff, the census
supervisor of Alaska, makes very in
teresting reading; he travelled $1,000
miles by boat, and had to go without
his dinner a few times; had to inn
provise schedules, etc.; but the man
who took the census in the 5th dis
trictS of Texas, had to climb $1,000
miles of .rb wire fences and travel a
thousand miles more on the hurricane
deck of Texas mustang, and is still
waiting 10 hear from Mr. Porter about
his pay; or is required to hunt up the
man he reported as having a gotch
ear and find out the whichness there
of before he can expect his U. ). war
rant. Great country this; fine sport

THE LIGHT ventures the prediction
that the road amendment to the con-
stitution Of Texas will prove to be
woeful failure. If the counties should
levy and collect tax for road purpo
ses, the county commissioners, who
were rash enough to take the step,
would be defeated by the people at
the first election, and their successors
would be pledged to rescind the order
imposing such tax. We are not one
step nearer good dirt roads than we
were prior TO the adoption of the
amendment. The people will kick
in case more taxes are laid on them

THE New York World hits the
Ohio democracy blow that would
fell an OK, when it charges it with
having sold two federal senatorships
one to Payne and the other to CAL
win s. Brice. The truth of the charge
is past controversy. The democrats
in the legislature accepted money tor
their votes. The World says, one, of
these senatorships was knocked down
to an outsider-a man who did not
live in Ohio, "a speculator in Wall
street, a monopolist, representative
of corporate power of aggregated

THE Galveston News arraigns the
New York police for preventing the
anarchists from holding their meet
ing, and argues that any and every
body has clear constitutional right
to hold a public meeting and to prop
agate their doctrines. This is not the
case. The anarchists are the enemies
of all existing forms of government
of society, as now organized-of all
rights of property and of peace, law
and order, and as such they are out
side of the pale of the constitution
and the law, which they are seeking
to destroy by force and violence.
The triumph of the anarchists means
the downfall of our government and
our system of laws, and 1t is perfectly
legitimate to prevent the spread Of
their nefarious doctrines. The News
was certainly off of its base.

COMING TO HON LULU.

The San Francisco Alta of the 7th
instant announces the arrival of a
"magn ficent schooner" from Port
Townsend, which is declared to rank
as one of the largest sailing yachts
on the Pacific. The Alta further
states the new schooner is in reality
a fine pleasure yacht, although she
brought some 100000 feet of lum-
Der this trip to San Francisco. She
has been but recently built and is
called the "Vine," and as soon as
she finishes discharging her cargo
will bring party of excursionists
TO Honolulu. The new yacht cost
$4,000. Her measurements are as
follows: Length l2l feet, breadth
81 feet, depth 10 feet. Her tonnage
is $50. She was built to the order
of Captain j. E. Burns, who is also
her commander. At her bow is the
figure of pretty girl holding a rose
in one hand. About the tigurehead
trailing vines are etched.

NEW PARCELS SYSTEM.

The Hawaiian Tramways Com
pany are about to make new de-
parture, which will no doubt be
found to conduce greatly to the
convenience of all classes. Refer
ence is made to the parcels system,
particulars of which are advertised
in another column, and which will
come into operation on the lst of
January, 1890. The system, as
understood, is simplicity itself.
The modus operandt is to purchase
packet of ten cent parcel-tickets,
which are on sale at the book stores |;
afIix one TO each parcel, which must
bear the address OF the consignee,
hand the parcel to the conductor
of the car Cor driver if there is no
conductor), and telephone It's de-
spatch to the person for whom 1t is
intended. The latter may then
either meet the car and obtain the
parcel from the conductor, or, If not
convenient, may apply for II at a
later hour at the nearest receiving
station of the company. A list oil
these stations is given in the adyer'
usement. The new arrangement
will in no way interfere with par

WELCOME ENTERPRISE.
Hawaiian Tea and Coffee Company
In Formation.

Hawaiian Ten and Coffee Company
in Formation.
The prospectus of the Hawaiian
Tea and Coffee Company (Limited)
has been issued, meeting with a very
favorable reception from a number
of local capitalists. 1t is proposed
to form the company for the pur-
pose of carrying on the cultivation
of coffee and tea in the District of
Kona, Hawaii. Coffee cultivation
will be the main feature in the en-
terprlse. A small area will be de-
voted to the cultivation of Liberian
coffee, which is more hardy and less
susceptible to blight than the Kona
species.
Mr.. Charles d. Miller, gentle
man who has had several years eX-
perience of coffee planting in Cey-
Ion, is the originator and promoter
of the enterprise. After repeatedly
inspecting the district, he is of opin-
ion that Kona is not only well adapt
ed for coffee culture but also for the
raising of tea.
Negotiations are in progress for
diffent tracts of land, either OF
which is adaptable to the purposes
of the company. 1t is proposed to
to incorporate the company with a
capital stock of 100000, divided
into 600 shares at 500 par value.
Several gentlemen, who have more
or less practical knowledge of cof-
fee, have subscribed for large
amounts of stock. All who have
means to invest and who believe
that coffee will become one of the
great staples of Hawaiian export--and
there cannot be many to doubt it
should lose no time in examining
this project. The prospectus gives
estimates clearly and Mr.. Miller
will doubtless be ready 10 give al
further information required.
