SUGAR EXPERIMENTS.

A report of the United States De
partment of Agriculture of sugar
experiments made at Magnolia sta
tion, Louisiana, contains among
much other interesting matter. the
following statement: The Cuban
manufacturers are beginning to
realize what the Germans long
since learned, viz. that it is more
profitable for the sugar house to
attend to the manufacture only and
leave the agriculture to tenants or
independent farmers. This system
should be attempted by the planters
of Louisiana"
There is of course naturally some
difference between the conditions Of
the sugar industry in this country
and in Cuba, but probably there is
no reason why the plan above indi-
Gated should be successful there and
yet permanently unsuccessful here.
There is no necessary connection
between the business of planting
and that of grinding, if indeed as
above remarked, the latter does not
do better alone. Grinding on shares
has often been tried in this coun-
try, chiefly in the earlier years of the
sugar industry, and has generally we
believe. resulted disastrously for the
planter. At any rate the system has
never established any foothold. The
plan followed in a large Cuban
house, mentioned in the report, is
totally different from grinding on
shares. and so far as we are aware, has
never been tried here on these pre-
else lines. The mill buys the cane
from the planter at rate based upon
the market price Of sugar at the time
when the cane Is ground. Thus the
planter shares in the benefits and
burdens of a rise or fall in the mar
ket- The price varies further accord
ing to the density of the juice.
Nothing but experience can deter
mine precisely what system would be
best adapted to our conditions here,
but some such system, if success
fully introduced, might go far to
solve our labor troubles. Any plan
tation can try the experiment if it

The PARNELL COMMISSION.

The published report of the Par
nell Commission which was present
ed to Parliament February 18th, to
judge by the telegrsphic reports of
it, substantially confirms the account
of its contents previously circulated.
No one who has not carefully fol-
lowed in detail the multitudinous
columns of the evidence as it was
given in Court, can form an exhaust
ingly accurate judgment of the whole
case. The result seems to be, how
ever, victory, though by no means
an unmixed one, for Parnell and the
other accused Irish members. The
vindication of Parnell seems to have
been more complete than that of the
others.
The Commission charges the de-
PENDANTS generally with being con-
cerned in conspiracies to bring about
the independence of Ireland, and
with encouraging intimidation and
agrarian crimes. While political
trials present conditions most sever
ely trying to the impartiality of
judges, probably the good faith and
substantial fairness OF the members
Of the Commission, viii be generally
admitted. There is unfortunately
no antecedent improbability that the
zeal, impatience, aud burning sense
Of wrong Of the Irish leaders may
have led them to overstep the limits
prescribed by the law and sanctioned
by sound morals. Every such excess
which the friends of Ireland will
not be inclined to judge harshly
must now appear to the parties
themselves as well as to the world at
large, very great mistake.
There is a lesson in all this for
the politicians here whose zeal for
ends sometimes makes them too
little .fsstidious as to means. The
history of our century is full of ex-
amples of the use of doubtful instru-
ments and methods in a really good
cause,-and of many more cases of
the same use, when the cause was
earnestly supposed to be good His
tory condemns them all. with the
same sweeping impartiality. In
every case alike the Importance of
the momentary end was exagger-
sted, and more was sacrificed to
gain it than could possibly be
achieved in the winning. The
purest methods are the safest and
best-even though they involve de-
feat for the moment.

The situation of the Reform
party was totally different. 1t had
full record on every question
touched upon in its platform. 1t
was perfectly possible to adopt a
short comprehensive platform refer
ring generally to the leading points
in its policy, and reafirming them.
Such platform is of course to be
read in connection with the previ-
Gus history, of the party, with its
Legislative and administrative acts,
and recorded utterances. In this
case for instance it must be read in
connection with the ministerial reply
to the inquiries from Hilo. Under
the circumstances more specific
utterances in the Reform platform
were utterly superfuous. Putting
them in or leaving them out was a
mere matter of taste. These are
points clear to anyone with a very
moderate allowance of common
sense.

form is not silent on the matter. but
that it is that of the Reform party
which is suspiciously so.
What is the truth here?
In reaching any sound conclusion
on this question, it is necessary to
consider the situation in which each
of the two parties was placed.
The Reform party had record of
more than two years, during which
it had controlled the administration
of affairs. 1t had devised new con-
stitution, brought it into operation,
elected a Legislature, passed the
usual volume of session laws, and a
ministry drawn from its ranks had
actually administered the affairs of
the country for two years. Moreover
its leaders, and a goodly number of
its rank and file, had co-operated
politically for years in the Legisla-
ture, in the press, and before the
public generally, and had established
record of many years as the old
Opposition.
The so-called National Reform
party on the other hand was total
ly new organization. 1t came into
existence as the result of a fusion of
the Mechanics Union and of the
Hui kalaiaina, two organizations
supposedly of a totally different
character, with different antecedents
and different aims. Its leaders were,
as rule, either unknown, unfavor-
ably known, or known as political
opponents. Several of the most
popular and prominent among them
were men high in Office under the
old government, who had originally
been opposed to the Reform move
ment and had always remained so.
To the eyes of the outsider the whole
combination looked like a union of
extreme opposites.
Such then was the character of
the party which came forward as
candidate for power-asking the
people to entrust to its leaders the
control of affairs.
Each party framed the platforms
which its situation rendered neces-
sary. For the National Reform
party to publish short instrument,
confning itself to general and vague
declarations of policy, would have
been absurd. 1t would have been
abandoning all pretence that the
party existed for the sake of any
principles. 1t would have been an
open confession-"We are here for
the Offices"
The author OF the platform 1--WE
say the author, for there is no evl-
dence that the platform was the
cohesive principles of a party evi-
IDENTIFY saw all this very clearly. He
perceived the necessity of very full
and explicit declaration of princi-
pies, and of principles which as far
as possible should contain nothing
to shock the enlightened sentiment
of the country. The result was a
platform specific and definite to the
last degree on every point where it
dared to be.

afloat He had not got back to it until
after sunset. and then. to his dismay, had
found it dark and deserted.
Too greatly distressed to eat or sleep. he
had spent the night in wandering up and
down the road. hunting and calling for his
dear ''lii Marse;" and now. that he had
found him his JOY was almost too great for
expression.
It was but q short distance to where the
ark lay, aground. and it was but a few
minutes job for those sturdy tramps to
work her off the sand bar. and set her once
more afioat.
The last thing Arthur did before scramb-
ling aboard was to shake hands with the
boy whom he had fought the evening be-
fore. and. as he babe him good-by. he said |:
Il hope you won't be an ugly duckling
much longer"
Then, with its three passengers safely
aboard, the ark slowly drifted away with
the current, while the tramps watched it
and waved their tattered hats in farewell
to the bravest l2-year-old boy they had
ever known.
