This State evidently can learn valuable lesson
in roadmaking from Ncw-jcrscy. in the north
ern part OF our ncighboring commonwealth
systematic method OF mending the roads has
taken the place Of the old plan, still IN vogue
in New-Yor<, by which the farmers unite 10 work
out1 their road tax; their work consisting
in ploughing up the soil on either side OF the
highway, "scrapng" the loose earth upon the
roadway, and letting it lie there to be levclled
down as best il can by passing wheels and the
hoofs of horses In the portion Of Ncw-Jersey
referred 10 the work is intrustcd TO men who
devote their entire attention TO it, aud II Is
asserted that in Sussex County one man with ii
wheclbarrow can take care Of seven miles of road.
The conditions there are exceptionally favorable,
but il is easy 10 see that good deal might De
accomplished in this way even in countries where
sand predominatcs. When q road has once
been put in good condition Il little care will
keep it so. That little care is in most cases
the thing necessary.

The time of really bad roads in
Honolulu has gone by, never, it is to
be hoped, to return. Our streets
still leave much to be desired, there
is still a chance for future admins
trations, for National Reformers
perhaps, to distinguish themselves
and do the public service. But
taken all in all, our roads are good.

The Latin American governments are
paving annually s2l9,500 as subsidies to
American ships, or more than four times
as much as this government pays to
American ships. In that one fact alone
may be seen the shame of American par
slmony and one of the great reasons why
we have not heretofore extended our
trade southwark on the American CONT.

The Coffee Market.

On several occasions we have received
letters from the island of Hawaii, asking
about the coffee market. Below we give
the following in reference to the San
Francisco coffee market, from r. Hoch-
kofers circular of latest date:
Notwithstanding the continuance OF
unfavorable weather the demand has
continued steady at very firm prices for
all grades, and the majority OF importers
stocks have passed into second hands,
besides considerable trading among job
bers. The stock of Old Salvador has all
been sold, with the exception Of 1,211
bags held under limits. New crop Qua
temala sold readily both for local con-
sumption and for shipment to ST. Louis,
leaving on hand only those parcels re-
ceived in the shell that are not yet milled
and those arriving by the steamer San
Juan on the 30th ult. About 800 bags
inferior to ordinary Guatemala, old crop,
sold from second hands at full prices.
The New York market for Brazil coffee
has been quiet but steady for spot coffee,
particularly for fair, which is in short
supply, and very dull and dropping for
options.
The dizziness of that and European
markets must be attributed to the unex-
pectedIy heavy receipts in Brazilian ports
during January, and the consequent
doubts as TO the correctness OF the esti-
mates OF this season crops, as we'll as to
the great uncertainty still prevailing as
to the extent of those OF 1S90-91. The
receipts from July lst to date are GER
tainly out of proportion with the conser'
vative estimates OF 100000 bags, and
the only way to reconcile these figures
and to account for the lately increased
receipts would be by the supposition that
the fear of internal troubles induces
Brazilian planters to hurry their coffees
to the seaboard. Should this hypothesi:
prove correct reaction in prices vii
| probably occur with the largely decreased
receipts that would follow.
Estimates for the growing crops during
the month have varied all the wav from
| 1000, 900 to $500, 900 bags, the latest
preponderating for average crops, or say
about 5000, 900 bags. Average Brazilian
| crops for 1901 and 4,500, 900 bags ex
| port from that country during the presen
| season would insure sufficiency of cot
| fee for the consumption OF the world foI
the next eighteen months, with fai
surplus at the end OF that period.

The Bulletin in its new role as a
circulator Of venomous innuendo
has lately added a new one to its
list. Some time ago, during the
election campaigD) it stated that
there was an ''ugly rumor" current
in the town, to the effect that GER
tain member of the Legislature had
taken five hundred dollars to de-
fend the Chinese, in that body. 1t
then proceeded to comment on the
aforesaid ''rumor" as though it were
true. A well grounded fear of q
libel suit however prevented the
Bulletin from being more explicit
although it was earnestly desired
to furnish more definite charges
The rumor remained persistently
"ugly" lit naturally did not grow
less so in the Bulletins hands) but
also persistently vague.
Now the Bulletin comes with {
fresh insinuation. This time it il
certain newly elected Hawaiian
members, whom the Reform party il
appears are trying to "work" on the
''Chinese plan" The report figure:
too, not as ugly" but as "wel
authenticated"
The Bulletin carries for once it,
fear of libel suit a little too far. I
our contemporaries information il
we'll authenticated, it may be pub
lished without the least solicitud.
To the modest extent of our pocket
we will ourselves guarantee the Bull
letin against damages. If the re
ports to which allusion is made ar
true, they ought to be made publ
and any journal in possession of tn
facts is guilty of breach of publ
duty, If it fails to make the publ
fully acquainted with them.
Let innuendo be dispensed wit
where innuendo is needless and lie
us have the naked facts.

The Sunday Question.

The Sunday Question.
Mr.. EDITOR: It seems to me to be
unreasonable, to say the least, for
any one to decry laws that have been
enacted for the general well being of
community, and that the laws which
require a general cessation of bust
ness and pleasure seeking on Sun
day, so far as they have been exc
cuted for many years past, can
scarcely be regarded as too stringent
and oppressive.
The necessity for the running of
public conveyances on Sunday. In
the interests of seekers after amuse-
ments, is certainly not very apparent.
I confess, therefore, to have been
one of those who were surprised and
disappointed at the decision of the
Oahu Railroad Co. to run their trains
on that day.
A surprise which must be conceded
to have been very natural, consider
ing who are the chief promoters and
proprietors of that very laudable en-
terprise.
Constituted as Honolulu society is
it would not seem probable that the
majority of those who would be likely
to avail themselves of these trains
would get any good to themselves
thereby, or do any good to others.
The result, therefore, would simply
be, that a prominent example OF
Sunday Dissertation would be set be-
fore the people, with all its bad con
sequences.
As to whether people have right
to enact laws Of restraint upon others
it must be conceded that all laws are
purposed to restrain men from exer
cising their own behests to the detrl
ment of others, that civilized society
has found it 20 be necessary fol
its self-preservation to have sucl
laws, and that none but thos'
who are of lawless nature
find any fault with those restraining
| Influences.
Let the laws for the protection O
person or property become a dea(
letter, and who would soon cry on
for some restraining influences il
their own behalf than these SANE
people who now decry the Sunda,
law? And failing to secure the re
quired protection from this outsid
source, who would sooner take tn
law into their own hands and admin
lister more summary and merciles
retribution than they?
There is a large class Of peopl
who believe that general cessation
of business, and certain degree c
restraint on amusements and pleas
ure seeking on Sunday, act as cor
SENATORS of good morals, and ten
to the general health and well-bein
of individuals and communities.
To such people these laws are nc
generally irksome, and until thes
views can be proven to be erroneou
/ am one of them. e.

much originality and power. The speaker
discussed the matter from an un,ectarisn

OF the common schools, as he conceived

nationality or religion a common ground
wherein they could meet as Americans for
