pIisOnment with regret.

TIMELY TOPICS.-V.

A policy that benefits the coun-
try at large sometimes levies a
small tax on a portion of the COM
munity; so tax on imported
coffee makes US pay more for it,
yet it stimulates an infant indus
try, and all can see the wisdom of
the tariff. Now this country
wants more infant industries, and
it wants them bad. For example,
it wants a potato industry. 1t is
bad political economy to import
potatoes from San Francisco or
elsewhere. Potatoes should be
protected. Place a tariff of two
cents on this vegetable, and at once
hundreds of Hawaiians would find
profitable employment. And what
IS good for potatoes is good for
boots and shoes.
The Government should inaugur-
ate a yearly exhibition in Honolulu
of Hawaiian products. Valuable
cash premiums should be given to
stimulate the people to participate,
and all articles for exhibition
should be transported free by the
Government.
Prizes should be given for agri-
cultural products of all kinds. The
value of these exhibitions has been
demonstrated beyond a doubt. They
would cost something. But they
would vastly increase the taxable
property of the Kingdom, and the
Government would not lose any
thing in the end.
1t is unfortunate that many of
the streets of our city are SO mar
row and crooked. A boom will
visit this place some day, and there
are many now living who will ride
from the Pail to Diamond Head, if
not around Oahu, in an electric car,
and there will be cable line over
! the Pail.
But the streets would have to be
widened, or the business portion of
the city will gradually shift itself
to more commodious quarters.
Narrow streets are commercial
abomination, and crooked paths
don't attract business.
IF the Hawaiian, Government
could obtain credit for the amount,
it should borrow 100000, and
lay cable either to Victoria or
San Francisco. Suppose the Gov
eminent had the money, and was
ready to commence; what would
be the result? San Francisco would
at once offer quarter of a million
to hold one end of the wire; Vic.
toria would 60 a quarter better,
and then Uncle Sam would make it
million. In the end, the operation
might not cost this government
anything.
1t wouldn't make any difference
to Hawaii where the other end of
the cable was: she would be the
gamer in any case.

(FOR THE ADVERTISER
A butterfly, one morning fair,
Flew gaily through fine parterre,
Where flowers of every form and hue,
Were radiant with the morning dew;
But where rose, most fair to See,
Out-rivalled all in brilliancy.
Enthralled at once, to her he flew,
And vowed love both deep and true
The rose, in bushes sweet and coy,
Revealed her fondness and her Joy,
And in moment vowed to be
Forever his in constancy!
Pleased with his suit, the charmer flew,
Far DER the fields fresh flowers to WOO
Till wearied, at the noontide hour,
Again he sought his mistress bower.
What" said the rose, as near he
drew,
-" You talk of being fond and true,
When from my side you've wandered
free,
And not for ages thought of me.
In short, from all that can learn
You've courted every flower in turn!"
-" Oh no, coquette," was the reply,
You've not been idle more than [.
The zephyr's kiss you did not spurn,
Nor from the bees attentions turn,
In short, the wasp, the bee, the fly,
You've smiled on all successfully;
So you had better be content,
Since pve but followed your intent"
The moral here is plain to view:
What you would preach, just practice too.
