Big SchOOners.

No vessels have proved so profitable OF
late wears as the big three and four
masted schooners. They give the carry
ing capacity Of good sized 6arks and
ships, without the expense of mainten-
ance OF the square rugged vessels. They
are found to be fitted for almost any
trade and their voyages are made gener-
ally in good time, SO that constant and
renumerative employment for them has
been considered certainty. When the
time of large wooden sailing ships seemed
to be nearing the end, this new class OF
vessel suddenly opened the way for a
long lease OF lite for wood and sail and
8 eady flow Of capital has lately sought
this class OF investment. Ships larger
ihan any before launched will be built,
out not in great numbers. Small schoon-
ers suited for certain trades, will also
find purchasers, but the great sailing
vessel fleet, in this country at least,
seems destined to be represented mainly
by the big four and fve-masted schoon-
ers.
The success, however, that has It
tended upon those big fore and alters
has met with a check. They are not the
ideal sailing vessel that has long been
believed. Their rig, admirable as it is,
and the cause OF SO much rejoicing
among builders of wooden vessels, is
now being regarded with suspicion. 1t
is considered to be dangerous, for it
has tendency to Overspar the vessel
and to leave her at the mercy of the
seas in heavy gales. The masts are SO
long and comparatively SO close together
that they are not held securely in place
by the standing rigging. The spread of
fore and aft sails is SO great that in
heavy weather it has become problem
how to handle them successfully, and
the tendency OF four and tive-masted
schooners to part with their masts in
bad blows has lead to the conclusion
that there are some vital defects in this
rig that must be removed if it is to re-
main on big wooden vessels. Many
opinions are given to account for this
trouble with the big schooners, but there
are not many good suggestions yet forth
coming pointing to Improvements that
will retain the rig, while removing its
defects. That something must be speed
lily done in this direction is obvious. If
the four and tive-masters keep on loos-
ing their masts in gales that ordinarily
they should pass through in safety, the
underwriters will undoubtedly be chary
OF taking risks on these vessels. Pre-
MUM rates will 60 up and this step,
more than anything else, will drive out
the new rig. But as it offers so much
more of advantages than other rigs and
as orders for big schooners are increas-
ing, experts will certainly find way out
OF the difficulty and the charge that is
now brought against the four-masters
will fail for want OF cause Maritime

AIR. EDITOR: The cemetery at
Honokaa I am sorry to say Is kept
in very bad state and is disgrace
to Honokaa. Not being able to as
certain who the parties are that is
supposed to keep 1t in order, whether
it is the Government or il it is to be
kept up by private subscriptions. Ii
the latter, some Of our influential
friends such as Mr. W. II. Richard
would take it in hand to have the
place put in order, say about three
or four times year.
The gate and the fence would re-
quire repairing and coat OF paint
to start with, the grass nicely cut
and the weeds all taken away. Once
the place was in order one man for
about week every three or four
months could keep it in ship shape
style aud then it would be a credit
to Honokaa.
l am certain those who have their
dear departed friends there would
willingly subscribe towards it l
think it is the least we can do to
show the love and respect for them
who have gone before us.

THE DAILY
THE LABOR QUESTION IN HAWAII,

There is no issue in Hawaiian
politics, which can compare in i'm
portance with the problem of labor.
The prosperity of the country is
more Immediately dependent in its
solution than on anything else.
The treaty itself involves intimately
the we'll being of the country. Con-
gress will undoubtedly reduce heav-
lily if it does not ultimately abolish.
the tariff on sugar, so that the ad
vantage of the Hawaiian product
over other countries will greatly
diminish or altogether disappear.
This is a result which we must look
forward to with reasonable certainty.
1t may be, every one hopes it will
be, remote, bnt it is pretty sure to
come some time.

Spring Valley.

San Francisco is the only city in the
United States having a population OF
more than fifty thousand inhabitants
that does not own its water works. 1t is
the only city in the United States where
bread, beer and wine are cheaper than
water. 1t is not a very timely state
ment, but ordinarily, this is a very dusty
city. and it is the only city in the United
States where a householder is fined for
laying the dust in front of his house.
That is practically what is done here, tor
Spring Valley makes an extra charge for
using water for sprinkling streets, while
in other cities not nearly SO dusty in
summer, as this city is, fines are laid on
property holders for neglecting this
necessary work. Spring Valley has
very poor system at best, and within the
last ten years has several times issued
appeals to the citizens of San Francisco,
begging them not to use water if it could
be avoided, as the supply was meagre,
and yet with inferior service in every
respect, it charges rates that make it ex-
ceedingly expensive to stand next to
godliness by being clearly. New York
with population OF nearly million and
half people paid but SIS 900 900 for the
Croton Water Works system which sup
plies lis, 100000 gallons of water daily
and that city is now enlarging its sys-
tenn. The Croton Water Works are as
far ahead OF Spring Valley as the Capitol
at Washington is ahead OF the New York
City Hall, and if Spring Valley people
are to be believed, cost less, and public
works in New York are not built with
the single idea OF economy either. The
annual cost to consumers in various
cities is shown below.

To Judge from interviews with
Rev. DR.. Talmage in London news
papers, he must have had a regular
St. Vitus' dance through the Holy
Land. Everything he touched
thrilled Linn. In Jerusalem and at
Bethany conflicting emotions pur-
sued each other in his sentimental
quarters to the point of nervous ex-
haustion, and when he attempted to
read the Bible story of the cruel
fixion on the spot where he was sure
the cross stood, his feelings over
came him entirely, and he broke
down, recovering sufficiently subse-
quently to purloin a corner stone
from Golgotha for the new Brooklyn
Tabernacle, and to load it on a cam
ell. DR.. Talmage and Mrs. Tai
mage sailed on the Aurania for New
York. He has entirely recovered
from the influenza. His daughter
remains with friends at Nice.

It's existence in the United States

swamped under the tidal wave OF
foreign immigration. It is the high
level of intelligence, honesty, sturdi-

it possible for American instl
tutions to preserve their charac
ter through hundred years OF

Everything which has thus far
been done, everything which it is
proposed to do, is purely negative.
It does not touch the root of the evil.
The real problem is how to secure a
class of agricultural laborers and
mechanics here who will be in har-
mony with all the higher needs of
the country, who will understand
and be in sympathy with civilized
institutions, who will furnish stabil
ity and strength to the government,
who will make real and abiding civ
ilization here possibility This is
a task of vital Importance to the best
interests Of the nation, overshadow-
ing by its magnitude everything else.
Yet few realize it, no political party
has programme in regard to it,
lesser issues crowd it out of sight and
mind. And yet, unless the task is

will be handful of great capitalists
at the top, mass of coolies at the
bottom, and nothing between. That
is not a prospect which can be cheer
ing even to the capitalists. to say
nothing of others. 1t is there and
not far away, and yet people shut
their eyes to it, repeat parrot like,
Sugar can only be raised at a profit
with cheap labor" and are content
to do nothing.
The party which solves this pro-
lem will have the only divine right
to govern, which can survive the
criticism of our democratic century.

Every other city mentioned in the

therefore even less than the figures would
seem TO Indicate All mentioned except
this city are municipal works, and the
argument is conclusive that, even admit
ting all that can be said in regard to

the consumer and taxpayer than can be

must admit to be deplorable2 What
has been done is good, but it does
not go far enough. The question
here involved is much wider than
the "Chinese Question:" wider at
last than any form which that
question has yet assumed. It is the
immigration questionable question
of re-population. What has been
done, we repeat, is good, but it does
not go far enough. Restriction Acts
have been passed. That was a nee
essary preliminary to any thorough
dealing with the problem. Laws
have been passed attaching penal
ties to vagrancy, and they would IA
cilitate the settlement of matters if
they could be Systematically en-
forced. Finally there is every pros
pect that we will have stat
utes, as soon as such legislation is
constitutionally possible, excluding
from mechanical employments all
Chinese not now engaged in them.
This legislation, including what we
expect to get as well as what we
have, is all necessary in order to pre-
vent the present evil from assuming
any greater proportions. But it goes
no further, and nothing more is
offered.

What class is there in these ISL
ands to correspond to the agricultu-
raj classes in the United States?
We have 1900 Chinese and several
thousand japanese who do almost
the whole agricultural labor of the
Kingdom. The superfuous Chinese,
and they are counted by thousands,
flock to Honolulu, where some of
them crowd the mechanics to the
wall by the pressure Of their compe-
tition, while others are supported in
idleness and vagrancy by their
countrymen,to keep up the labor mar
ket. An agricultural class, under
standing and taking an interest in
the institutions of the country, does
not exist here. Its place is filled by
Asiatics, who are strangers to our
language, our religion, our society,
and all our habits. More than this
the class of intelligent mechanics
and small trades, class small and
not yet firmly established, is further
imperilled as to its very existence.
