THE PETITION FROM HAWAII FOB
AID IN COMPLETING THE TELE-
PHONE SYSTEM.

We publish to-day, in full,
a petition to the Legislature from
the residents of Hawaii, asking for
assistance in completing the Ha-
wall telephone system.
The petition is one of the strong
est in number of names, and is the
strongess in weight, of any petition
presented to the House this SEES
sion.
1t is a fair, straight forward, bust
ness proposition.
1t shows that the people OF Ha-
wall have without public assistance
established and are now maintain
ing four central telephone systems,
265 miles of main wire and lag
telephones, the cost of which plant
has been about $4,000. All that is
now required to complete the con-
nection, so that there will be con-
tinuous telephone communication
from North Kohala, via Kawaihae,
Waimea. Hamakua, HilO, Olaa, the
Volcano House and Punaluu, to
Waiohinu, Kan, is $4,000.
The connecting lines are not
ones that will add any to the
revenue of the existing systems,
and are purely in the nature OF a
public enterprise, by which we
mean that yit is one which will
equally benefit the whole public of
the Island of Hawaii, and is not for
the benefit of a few only. Not
wlthstanding this fact, the people
of Hawaii ask Government assist
ance for but one half of the original
cost. and volunteer to keep the
system in repair after it is built.
We understand that the whole OF
the other half has already been
subscribed. =.
The completion of the Hawaii
telephone system is equal in i'm
portance to the people of that
island to the completion of the
Volcano Road, and under the cir
cumstances shown in their petition,
their proposition is just, reasonable
and fair. and should be granted by
the Legislature.

THE PROPOSED MOUNTAIN ROAD.

In connection with the above and
Kapiolani Park, we invite the atten-
ton of our readers to the following
extract from the report of the Min
ister of the Interior:
THAT the land owned by the Gov
eminent at Diamond head, adjoin-
ing Kapiolani Park, be set aside as a
public park, and that SO long as the
Kapiolani Park Association contin-
ues to carry on that institution as
a public park, it be placed under
their control. They have already
agreed that If this is done they will
fence the land, plant trees thereon
and extend their system of drives
and paths to include this land.
Eventually a macadamized road
can be extended round the hill to
meet the present Waialae Road at
tsh mouth of Palolo Valley, and a
bride path constructed at slight
cost to the top of the Head, which
in time can be wideEed to a drive.

HAWAIIAN COMMERCE.

Secretary Window has publ she'd
a valuable document embodying
the Treasury statistics of our trade
with Hawaii, the other matters
bearing upon the commercial I'M
portance of that kingdom.
We have had reciprocity with
Hawaii since 1877. The year be-
fore trade began under the treaty
our imports from Hawaii were, in
value, Sl,376,69l; our exports were
S621,9 74, or total trade with that
kingdom of s1,999,655. The most
of that trade was done with Boston.
Reciprocity transferred it to San
Francisco.
In 1889 our export trade had
risen to 1886, 040, and our imports
to S12,947,740, or total trade of
SIG, 193,790.
The Importance of this trade to
San Francisco is shown by the fact
that of the above total this city
imported So, 81, 075, and exported
S3,009,25 or an aggregate of $751;
S55,328 leaving only S329,542 to
other Pacific ports and the Atlantic
coast. Our exports last year in
leading articles were: Breadstuffs,
S524,512; iron and steel manufac-
tares, S352,552; cotton manufac-
lures, S345, 2S9; wood manufactures,
1921, 335; leather and it's manufac-
lures, S175,536; provisions, Sl4S,-
1853; tobacco manufactures, $780,
1856; fertilizers, S126473; fish,
S11S,647; animals, SS6.37S; chemi-
Gals and dyes, s66,S35; refined
sugar, $50, 276; and mineral oil,
$50, 366.
Keeping in mind, now, the vol
ume of this trade with the $4,000
people of Hawaii, let US compare
it's volume of 6,183,780 per year
with other trade we have across the
Pacific. In 1888 our total trade
with China was 12,313,743 taels.
AS nearly as we can reduce this to
the fluctuating silver value of the
tael, this was S9,234,675. In this
total our exports to China were
only S2,649,776, against 1886 040
to Hawaii. Our total trade with
Japan in 1888 was 28,267,216 yen.
Reduced to our gold standard,
again with a view to the fuctuating
silver value, this amounted to S21,-
1874, 406. of which our exports were
81, 239, 544, or only S9O0,509 in ex-
cess of our exports to Hawaii. Our
imports from Hawaii exceed our
exports by s9,511, 100, while our
imports from japan exceed our ex-
ports by Sl6,S97,857. Remember
ing that Japan has 100000 of
people and China ten times as
many, and our respect for the
$4,000 people of Hawaii, their
commerce is very greatly increased.
The total tonnage that entered Ha-
waiian ports in 1889 was 2lS.785, of
which l29,095 tons was under the
American flag. So that over half
that trade was done under our flag
When we reflect that in 1890 the
per centage of our total foreign
trade carried under our flag was
only 1896, the fact that more than
20 per cent. of our Hawaiian trade
was in our own bottoms carries its
own lessons. Wherever restric-
lions are taken off our trade, COM
merce proves to be the parent of
shipbuildIng and the promoter of
prosperity in merchant marine.
We call attention to the fore
going statistics that the business
community of this Coast may know
the importance of sustaining our
unrestricted trade with Hawaii.

of this city has always and at all

THE DESERTION BILL.

Last week the inevitable bill to
restore the old law of desertion
succeeded in getting itself passed to
engrossment, by the solid vote OF
the native members. The old law
permitted a husband to punish a
recalcitrant wife whe persisted in
deserving him, by shutting her up
in prison. This obvious and tempt
ing method of tanning ones spouse
into tractability it is which the
present bill seeks to restore.
We are far from condemning this
law absolutely. 1t makes the con.
dition of the wife one of virtual
slavery, to be sure, but what OF
that? Has it not always been
such? We should not forget that
laws and political institutions have
merely relative value. Their
worth depends on their adapta-
bility to conditions, and the law is
perhaps as well suited as any other
TO a semi barbarous people.
We decline, however, to put the
low estimate upon native Hawaii
ans which seems to prevail among
the native members. We think
better of the race than they and
think their bill bad one. At any
rate, this country processes to be
one of the civilized nations of the
earth-and it must be governed by
civilized laws.
Probably the bill will be rejected
on its third reading.

points sustained and defended the
Hawaiian treaty when IN peril OF
abrogation. We wish now to in
crease the respect in which the
people and the commerce of HAWAII
are held, for no where else on
earth are there $4,000 people with
whom we have such volume OF
commerce. Inspection of the CEN
sus of that kingdom shows its
population to be of /:

This has its sad side, for it shows
the rapid decay Of the natives. In
1923 they numbered 142.050, and
now they constitute only 40 per
cent of the population. Their de-
cline is due very largely to the
introduction of Chinese amongst
them, and it is pleasant to know
that the Chinese there are not so
numerous as they were few years
ago.-TS. F. Alta, Aug. 18th.

Proposed Consolidation,

Preliminary negotiations have
taken place between Col. Claus
Spreckels, on behalf of the stock
holders of the Hawaiian Commercial
and Sugar Company, and the stock
holders of the Paia and Haiku plan
tatlons, with view to a consolida-
ton of these plantations into one
large estate. The prospects seem
fair that this consolidation will be
accomplished, but nothing definite
will be known until the return of the
Australia from San Francisco.

LAST week the House killed the
section of the Oahu Railroad Bill
guaranteeing 5 per cent. interest
on the bonds, by vote of 81 to 10.
This will probably effectually avert
the danger of any further extern
sion of the Oahu Railroad, during
the coming biennial period.

provisions. They realized the perilous con-
dition they were in and commenced to dig
their way out through the great bed of
snow. For days they worked as only NOR
tails can who have life at stake. Their sup
ply OF rations, which was only sufficient to
last half dozen days, continually kept
growing less and less. and at last barely
sufficient food was left to last day. At
this point the spirits of the two men
dropped to the lowest level, and they were
about to give up in despair, when suddenly
the faint light could be observed breaking
through the snow bank, and in a short time
the joy of the miners knew no bounds when
half dozen sturdy miners made their ap-
pearance through the snow after working
for four days to reach the mouth of the tun-
mel. Burke and Llewellen were two happy
men and thankful for their deliverance. A
few days afterwards the men struck rich
vein of ore, which is very likely to make
both independently rich. AS a manifesto
ton of their gratitude they have given each
one of the miners who assisted in their res
cue, an equal interest with themselves in
the rich find. The mine has been named
"The Rescue" by its owners, and promises
to be one of the good mines of the Occur d.

Sailed for Luck,

The Silverton Miner tells the story of the
great Lamartin mine near Idaho Springs
as follows: This week while the geological
club was in session, the president rose to
the occasion and offered the following in
support of his assertion that more money
has been made from Colorado mines by
eastern capitalists than most people have
any idea of. Said he: "You see Nimrod's
father came out to Colorado in the early
days and did a great deal Of prospecting,
but never seemed to strike anything like a
bonanza. So when he died he left his son
all his possessions, which consisted of a
dozen quartz claims up in Clear Creek
county. Young Nimrod concluded to come
out to Colorado and see what the mines
amounted to. They hadn't been developed
much; a hole here and there, but all the
needy miners in the camp declared that the
prospects were powerful good, and he
ought TO sink on one of them, especially the
Lamartine. So he made contract for a
hfty-foot shaft, then went back to New
York to practice law. Well, they reported
progress every week, and when down forty
feet they saw stringers coming In. When
they got down to the fifty foot Nimrod's
money was all out and he intimated that he
would shut down, but miners to encourage
him. got lot of pretty rich ore from some
adjoining properties and sent it on to New
York, declaring it came from the bottom of
the shaft. So he made another fifty-foot
contract, but he hadn't the least idea
where the money was coming from to pay
for it. Well, within ten feet more they
struck it sure enough-a big fat ledge One
OF them came on to New York to see MINI
rod. He trembled in his boots, fearing
that they wanted money on their contract.
Not much. They wanted to work the mine
a year on shares, Nimrod to receive a
royalty of 30 per cent. This lease expired
on March Is. Nimrod has already received
$780, 600 in royalties, and there is now more
ore in sight than he can take out in three
years. What do you think of Nmrod's
luck, boys? They all readily smiled in &C
quiescence
