Volcanic Specimens.

Some of the specimens sent by the
Hawaiian Government to the Paris
Exposition have been returned in
such condition that those in charge
of the collection of volcanic speci-
mems have determined to make a
new collection and dispose of the
old lot. This is commendable, as
many people, unable to procure a
cabinet of volcanic minerals other
wise, will have an opportunity of
obtaining some very handsome, if
not rare, curios, and the Government
department having charge of the
museum will be able to secure a
much better collection since the re-
cent changes in the volcanic condi-
ton. The old cabinet will be sold
some day this week at auction by
Mr.. j. f. Morgan.

in that direction than he at first in
tended. Of that matter Col.
Spreckels himself is probably as
well informed as anybody in this
Kingdom.
Another point in Col. Spreckels'
article may be referred to; it is that
in which he speaks of the political
attitude of the Chinese. 1t is quite
true that they do not as rule take
any loverD part in public affairs,
but they can and have done so
when they deem it necessary, and
are not likely to abate one part
icle of their Importance or preten-
sions."
The next paragraph but one
should be carefully considered.
We have had occasion lately to
show up some of the utterances of
the organ of the reactionary party,
and would gently remind them that
if their aspirations, as to a Repub-
lican form of government for Ha-
wall, ever come to be fulfilled the
Republic will not be a Hawaiian
Republic, neither will its prophet
be its first President.
Col. Spreckels has been careful
in his statistics, and his deductions
are sound. Hawaii is by far the
largest importer from San Fran
cisco, with the exception of Great
Britain alone, and she is the largest
exporter to San Francisco. Had
Col. Spreckels been writing On the
23d day of March he might have
instanced the fact that within the
week counting from the 18th inst,
near thirteen thousand tons of
sugar have left this port, all steam
conveyed to San Francisco.

A BUSY DAY IN THE HARBOR.

Holiday though it was, last
Tuesday March 18th, st. Patrick's
Day, Kamehameha III. Day and,
may be, other anniversaries and
celebrations, was a day on which
to view Honolulu harbor, what
there is of it as yet. at its very
busiest and best. Outside the reef
at varying distances were eight or
ten whalers standing off and on,
inter-island steamers and schooners
hurrYing to and fro striving to get
three trips into the ordinary time
for two, and nearer the entrance
the great bulk of the HounsIow
with a schooner alongside putting
on board the last load of nigh
upon eight and a half million
pounds of sugar she is to deliver in
San Francisco in nine to ten DAYS.
Inside the passage the first object
is the barque CO. Whitmore high up
on the Marine Railway, then we
come to the big steel cargo carrier
Elton working her four steam der
ricks and bound to get a heavier
cargo IN than the Hounslow. and do
it In less time; all along the water
front are ocean going ships dis
charging tons upon tons of coal, or
thousands on thousands of lumber
and shingles. Island steamers now
clearing their sugar-Iaden holds
straight on to the ponderous drays
which rumble away for the Elton
or her successor. The barkentine
Wilder with her 500 tons of cargo
to land, the splendid bark Fifeshire
completing her 900 tons of ballast.

and only one unoccupied wharf
where the Zealandia was expected
hourly. =
Across the harbor are the two
men-of-war the U. S. ships Mo-
hican and Iroquois +" dressed " rain
bow fashion in honor of the ma
tlonal holiday with every color
futterlng in the breeze. Next
we come to two huge coal
ships all the way from n. S.
Wales and now awaiting wharf
to discharge at. This is not so sat-
isfactory as the rest of the picture,
which finishes with the Sussex, an
other large steamer, landing her
cargo of coal at the Railway wharf,
after which she will cram full of
sugar and go in chase of the others.
The dredge at least ought to be
at work and the piIe-driver.
Why should we not have COM
mittee Of experts, surveyors and
ship masters and importers, headed
by Prof. Alexander, Surveyor
General, and Capt. Fuller, Captain
of the Port, to confer, and together
draw up report, addressed to the
Minister of Interior, suggesting or
indeed recommending a definite
plan for new wharves and ware
houses, the preliminaries of which
might be put in hand as soon as
decided on.

WHY WOMEN DON'T MARRY.

Mrs. William G. Whitney, wife
of the ex-Secretary of the q. S.
Navy, thus answers the question of
why more girls do not marry;
"Higher education, it seems to
me, is one of the chief reasons why
more girls do not marry. 1t has
made them more independent, and
has qualified them to be more self
supporting. Now that the differ
ent professions are open to them,
they have the broad fields of litera-
ture, and they hold professorships,
and the result of it all is that they
have outgrown the necessity of the
championship of man.
Women formerly were more
romantic than they are now. Their
domestic duties-their spinning and
MISUNDERSTANDING their thoughts
to wander usually to some man
whom they idolized and with
whom marriage meant congeniality
and happiness. Another reason
why fewer women marry in these
days is because of inherited wealth.
When, with child-like dependence,
woman turns to man for support
and protection, there naturally is
more affection and consequently a
greater inclination to marry. The
woman who watches for her
husbands return with the wal
let from which daily needs are
supplied is happier, as a rule, than
her wealthy neighbor, who has
never had to consider the cost of
anything, who has but to wish and
have every wish gratified.
"The knowledge of this undoubt-
eddy prevents many an heiress
from marrying, and the third rea-
son is that old maids are no longer
looked down upon as they were.
There is no longer any stigma upon
them. Now if woman chooses to
remain unmarried nobody says any
thing. She chooses her kind of life
and her choice is respected.

TIE PLANTERS MONTHLY.

The Planters Monthly for March
is out and is a more than usually
full and instructive number. There
is an interesting quotation from the
circular Of Mr.. JAS. Dunn, the Ha-
walian Consul at Glasgow, on the
subject of the relative value or
sweetening power of beet as COM
pared with cane sugar. There is
in beet sugar remarkable neutral
element known as Rafinose,"
which constitutes from two to five
per cent. of its total weight. AS it
is perfectly harmless except that
being absolutely devoid of sweet
ness, it involves O loss to the con-
sumner equal to the per centage in
which it exists. That is, from two
per cent. in the best to FIVE per
cent. in the poorest beet sugar.
This Z" Raffinose (" is understood to
be a natural product originally
present in the roots, and not fully
eliminated in the process of manu-
facture. Singul'rly enough this
unwelcome elem. has a polariz-
ing effect of the me character as
sucrose, that is, 1t rotates the light
passing through the solution which
contains it in the same direction,
but with nearly double the rotatory
power of sucrose Hence sugar
Gas beet containing Raffinose
shows polarization in excess of
that which represents the real
crystallizable sugar. This has at
tracted the attention of the various
beet root associations of Europe
who adopted a rule allowing six
pence per degree of raffinose with
out correcting the polarization.
However, temporary agreement
has been arrived at, pending this
conference of sugar chemists to be
held next year.
An article by Professor Wiley
on beet cultivation places the yield
per acre at from t TO 20 tons,
rather a wide margin, the price
paid which is now the basis of cal
culating in making estimates at 81
to S. a ton, and the cost of manu-
facture of raw about cents per
pound. But as raw beet is bitter
and must be refined, and the REIN
ing costs one cent per h., home
manufactured beet sugar cannot be
put on the table under cents, the
foreign sugar used in the States
costs Including duty of cents) 6,
or best granulated 81 cents per lib.
We have a full account of new
plant of machinery for the Paauhau
Mill nearly completed at the Homo
lulu Iron Works. 1t is a six-rolIer
in three pairs, with maceration ar
rangemeEts. The whole work of
the sugar house, including evapor-
alton, will be done on the trash
alone as fuel.
Good reports of the various diff
fusion plants are sent in. At Kealia,
Kauai, a ton of coal now makes six
tons of sugar as against three tons
last year. Waihee and Prineeville
are also spoken we'll OF. The difu-
sion works at Hamakuapoko will
be started early in April.

COL. SPRECKELS ON HAWAIIAN
AFFAIRS.

We print to-day an article adj
dressed by Col. Claus Spreckels
over his own name, to the North
American Review, which from the
weight of his authority on the SUBJ
lject he treats of, no less than his
thorough acquaintance with all its
bearings, and his powerful I'M
adorned style, must be held to be
Of considerable Importance at the
present juncture.
Without endorsing every opinion
or statement of Col. Spreckels, it
may be broadly stated that the gist
of the article is not to be chaI-
lenged, and whoever studies it may
consider himself as tolerably well
informed of the position OF affairs
here, political, social and mer-
camille, at all events from an
American standpoint. Whatever
King Kalakaua's object became
after reaching San Francisco, it is
by no means clear that he left his
kingdom with any other view than
change of climate, scene and sur
roundings and the hope of benefit
to his health. We have not seen
it stated that the late King had al
ready determined to send for his
envoy stationed at Washington be-
fore leaving Honolulu. Indeed,
though statements of such a nature
coming from such a source as the
authoritative announcement put
forth over the signature of the late
Minister of Foreign Affairs, require
more than the proverbial grain of
salt, we are inclined to believe that
the object of the Kings visit to the
Coast was indeed, at that time,
confined to the limits then as
signed.
Whatever considerations in
duced the King to send for Mr..
Carter, or whatever instructions he
may have given, or whatever
line of policy he may have fore
Swallowed was, so far as we know,
an afterthought and not an occa-
sion Of his leaving home. 1t is the
custom of monarchs generally to
take with them q Cabinet Minister
whenever they cross the boundary
OF their own realm; and King
Kalakaua could not conclude a
treaty, while there was at home a
Regent to administer the Govern
ment in his name, and the Minister |
necessary to countersign any act |
" before it shall have any effect
was likewise at home. Indeed it
would not be possible under the
circumstances for the King to
formally open negotiations with a
view to treaty revision or in his
own person to give sufficient auth
ority to any envoy to do SO. That
King KaIakaua should have wished
to see and confer with his envoy to
the government of the country on
whose soil be stood, is not only
very natural but very proper.
Again, the late King took a real
and lively interest in the Recipro
city Treaty, and would necessarily
wish to exchange views as to the
probable effects of the Tariff Act,
with his Envoy fresh from the poll
teal and official atmosphere of the
seat of government. We are on
the whole inclined to differ from Col.
Spreckels in the opinion that the
2 prime object Of KaIakaua's visit
was anything political, though he
may possibly have drifted farther
