Two years ago N. w. Motheral
brought from San Diego pair of
bugs known as the twice-stabbed
ladybug, technically known as chilo-
chorus bivulnerus, and turned them
loose in the orchard of j. e. Raw
Inns, near Hanford. On Thursday
last j. T. Brooks discovered that his
orchard was infested with these bugs.
They are cleaning the scale from his
trees, and no doubt other orchard .
are becomming supplied with them.
All persons who find this bug in their
orchards and who have not already
sprayed, had better not spray, as
they will kill their friends. Mr..
Brooks brought q sample of these
newly found bugs to town to find out
their character, and was much graft
fed to learn that they are the kind
that are destructive to the scale.
The bug is shiny black, about the
size OF half q dried pea, with two
blood-red spots about the size Of q
pin-head on the forward part Of its
back. At this season the bugs are
busy laying the eggs, and as they
breed very fast, no doubt they will
be OF vast benefit to the orchards of
this vicinity. Mr.. Motheral turned
the two that Mr.. Brooks brought in
on to trees here in town. anford

Piracy.

Through an Investigation insti-
tuted by Captain Enoch Turley, of
the marine department. of the Della
ware Mutual Safety Insurance Com
pany, it has come to light that an
act of regular piracy has been per-
petrated recently in the East by
shrewd set of fellows, who got off
with cargo of coal belonging to
Norton & Go. The transaction was
made through the ship broking firm
of Manuel McShain & Co., to whom
man giving the name of Virgins
applied for cargo, representing
himself as captain of q vessel named
the Calista. In November last, the
schooner, by direction Of McShain &
Co., went to Camden and loaded
with coal, the consigners being Nor
ton & Co., and the destination being
Norfolk. The transaction was made
in regular business like way, even
to signing the bill of lading, that az t
being performed by the so-called
mate, who attested the name of
il Beaston. The schooner has not
been heard of since, and it has just
been ascertained that there never
was such q vessel as the Calista.
The Board of Marine Underwriters
has detailed Captains Samuels and
Rowland to Investigate the case.
Men in shipping circles are amazed
at the audacity of the act in
changing the name of the schooner
without legal permission, crime
punishable with q long term of i'm
prisonment and legally coming un-
der the head of piracy.-[Ex.

in extending protecting arm over
a class of men who so often defend
ed her honor, and even saved the
nations life, yet, the credit is que
the British Government OF initial
ing and furnishing an example
worthy of imitation by all CONNER
cial nations. I do not say that this
act of the Government has entirely
destroyed the crimping system
through which foreign vessels still
obtain their seamen. Nor that
what is already done is not sus-
ceptlble of Improvement. Ii was

ment of Sailors Homes under Gov
ernment patronage, and control and
open them to seamen of all nations.
l should name and make them all
International Sailors Homes. The
shipping office should also be inter-
national. In short, the seaman,
wherever he may require sojourn,
should always find the same home
and be under the same protecting
arm as when in his native land.
Why should not seamen, without
which commerce could not exist, be
placed in the same category with
his fellow-workers on shore: and
why should he not aspire to a home

Sailors Snug Harbor.] l certainly
believe that the adoption OF an In
ternational system of Sailors
Homes, if it did not at once attract
within their walls all the present
generation of seamen, would receive
a part, and weaken the influence
now so strong of the crimp ano
sailor landlord. But new genera
tions are coming up, new seamer
are being made, and it is on thu
youth commencing their career the

Anything which tends to elevate

quirements of navigation continu

suggestion for your consideration
of whether, as the ship is nothing
without sailors, that in our endeav
ors to find measures to improve thu
ship, is it not of equal importance
to search out means to improve the

WHERE DO THE EARNINGS OF THE
COUNTRY 60 TO.

There is one feature of the Re-
port of the Collector General of
Customs which ought to receive
the most serious attention from
everyone interested in the welfare
OF Hawaii mel. We refer to the
enormous excess of exports over
imports. This excess has figured
in the reports of the Custom House
for twenty years, has steadily in
creased during that period, with an
occasional year of fuctuation, until
it has finally reached extraordinary
proportions. The imports of the
year just ended are less than the
exports by the astonishing sum of
$8,601, 150.77. From this total
should be deducted an import of
something over million in specie.
The difference for the year ending
December 81, 1883, is hardly less.
It is difficult to account for this
continuous and tremendous excess
of exports over imports. As the
phenomenon of single year or
even two or three, it might not de-
serve any special comment, but
steadily recurring as it has through
= long series of years, it becomes
most perplexing. 1t is undoubtedly
in part due to the fact that in the
earlier years of Hawaiian industry
the balance of trade was the other
way, SO that in 1870, at about
which time the tide turned, there
was . large accumulated debt due,
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1890-04-24

from this country abroad, which of
course had to be paid in some way.
This, however, cannot account for
anything like the total sum OF the
excess, and there seem to be only
two other explanations. The first
is that a portion of the credit bal
ance of Hawaiian merchants and
planters is never drawn, but spent
or invested in America Or Europe.
1t, therefore, does not return to
this country in the shape of specie
or imports. The second explana-
ton is that large portion OF the
earning capital invested in these
islands is owned abroad. 1t is not
easy to suppose that this amount
bears SO large proportion to the
total capital of the country as the
excess of exports over imports
would seem to imply, but there
seems to be no escape from this
conclusion.
It hardly needs to be said that
the situation is q most unfortunate
one. Imagine our half of the gross
earnings of the United States spent
in Europe. Yet that seems to bt
just our situation here. It is {
constant check on our industrial
progress. If the money earned il
the country were spent in it, i
would begin to develop as it ought
Capital would be compelled to seel
fresh outlets, new industries woult
be started, population and Iroduc
ton would be vastly stimulated
| public improvements would b.
pushed forward, the vast tracts o
unused lands would be put under
cultivation, the revenues of the gov
eminent both from the custom
house and internal taxation woult
be greatly increased, capital woult
be plentiful, less timid, and obtain
able on easier terms than at pres
ent. There would be no need t,
preach eternally public improve
ments and new enterprises to un
listening ears, if three or four mil
lions of fresh capital were seeking
investments here with every incom
ing year. On the other hand it il
! pretty obvious that all our preach
ing and moralizing is likely to b.
wasted as long as the excess o
what we earn over and above VIVA
we need to make ourselves comfort
able, remains in the United States
or goes travelling off to Europe.
| 1t is easier to see that the case il
a desperate one than to sugges
any remedy. Perhaps all that Cal
be done is to encourage home en-
i terprise and home investment by
every legitimate means which thu
government can pretitably employ
AS it stands Hawaii is a cow milk
