A saov.bl. Hitshiar Post.

Many curious things have been done
by absent minded or thoughtless per
sons since the world began. but il was
only recently that a man hitched his
horse to a train of freight cars which
had stopped momentarily during the
process known as making up trains "
The author Of this new idea Of hitching
had gone to East Buffalo TO draw a
load Of tow. Arrived, he looked for a
hitching post or a stationary object Of
some kind which would answer the pur-
pose. but seeing none Doticed the mo-
tiOnless freight cars near by, and with
out further ado tied his rig thereto.
He had gone but a short distance

not capable of entering into the
texture Of the finer fabrics as hemp
and ramie are, yet it is extensively
used, more and more so every day
for vast variety of Irvine, cords,
ropes, etc. This requires very lit
tie attention from the eultivator.
Lands which require irrigation,
of course would be taken up more
gradually than those where the
natural water supply is sufficient;
but irrigation, after road making,
is of the greatest Importance.
Oranges, lines, all citrus fruits,
are neglected here and are scarce
and dear in consequence, these
could be set out in orchards, the
rows being more widely apart
than usual, and all the ground
under the trees utilized whilst the
trees were not yet bearing. Straw
berries are poor and dear here, but
could be raised with profit be-
tween the rows of orange or lime
orchard, and 50 with many other
small fruits.
After all and before all in talk
ing Of settling small holdings,
roads to the market are the prin-
cipal thing, and we shall never
have permanent settlers without
good roads.

The completion of the telephone
from Kohala to Waiohinu, via Hiio
and the Volcano marks an era in
Hawaiian progress, worthy Of spe-
cial note. The following points
are now in telephone connection:
North Kohala, Mahukona, HAWAII
haze, Waimea, all villages and plan
tations between Kukuihaele, Lau-
pahoehoe and Hilo, thence to the
Volcano House, Pahala. Punaluu,
Hilea Naalehu and Waiohinu.
This includes all the towns from
the north end of Hawaii around to
the South Point via Hilo.
The value of the telephone may
be Illustrated in one or two in
stances. An order for thirty head
of cattle was received by one of
the ranches, the stock to be at the
landing on a certain date. The
steamers schedule was changed,
requiring the animals to be at the
landing forty-eight hours earlier,
and the change was easily effected
by the telephone, without an
hours delay to the steamer. 4 Chi
nese laborcr deserted from the Hawi
Plantation, and started for Hilo.
The telephone intercepted the man
at Laupahoehoe, and an officer in
formed him he was wanted, and he
was returned to H&wi, wondering
how they knew where or who be
was. A number of tourists arrived
at the Volcano Hotel, from Kau,
and wishing to go on to Hilo, the
telephone brings horses to the Vol
cano, and carriages to the halfway
house for them all. In q thousand
ways, it will be as time-saving and
economical on Hawaii as it is in
Honolulu or in any other place or
country.
Towards the completion of the
Hawaii telephone the Legislature
voted the sum of $4,000, which has
FASTENED the completion of the cir
cult as stated above.
Let the next move be the laying
Of the inter-island cable from Oahu
TO Hawaii and then from Oahu to
Kauai, to be soon followed by the
Pacific cable to San Francisco.

Annexation a. Failure.

II those who are agitating the
question of political union with the
United States were q little better
versed in the political axioms and
doctrines Of that country they
might spare themselves some trou-
bic; at least they would not dis
play, so unnecessarily, the dense
ignorance which permeates their
minds on that question. The
United States does not desire to
annex this country any more than
they desire to annex the North
Pole or Jupiter's moons. America
never wanted Hawaii; the best evil
dence of this, is the fact that Ha-
wall is independent to-day. And if
that government does not covet this
kingdom, it will never take it and
pay as part of the price, two cents
per pound as bounty on island
sugar. The idea is absurd. If the
United States had the least interest
in this kingdom, the Pearl Harbor
concession would have resulted in
something besides Indifference.
AS long as there is force and
vigor in this country to maintain q
shadow of an independent govern
ment, Uncle Sam will never trouble
himself about it. And if he ever
does extend his territorial limits to
embrace Hawaii, it will simply be
done as a last recourse to prevent
being forestalled by some other
power. And should this event oc-
eur, America will take very good
care that the islands shall not cost
anything in the way of sugar
bounty.
The idea of Hawaiian planters
receiving any financial help from
the United States is a delusion, and
the sooner it Is dispelled the better
it will be fer our interests. Let the
planters go to the teeming labor
markets of Asia and make the best
terms they can; let the Admins
tration get the best terms and con-
cessions it can from the United
States; let US make the most of our
opportunities and resources; and
above all, let US learn to rely en-
tirely upon ourselves, and build no
hopes upon annexation or other
vagaries. e. E. c.

A DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.

The Iowa Democratic State COnven-
ton met at Ottumwa, Iowa, June oath,
and nominated Governor Horace z.
Boies. The platform demanded the re-
peal OF the prohibitory law and the pas
sage OF carefully guarded license tax
law; called for such changes in the laws
as should be necessary to secure full and
equal taxation of every species of prop
erty; Endorsed the Australian ballot and
denounced the Republican Party for
having defeated that reform, in defiance
of the popular vote in its favor; called
for statutes to provide stringent safe
guards in the organization OF all corpora
tons, and re-atfirmed adherence to the
doctrines of the control and regulation Of
railroads as now enacted into law; de-
nounced all trusts, pools and combines,
and expressed the conviction that in the
division of the product of labor and CAPT.
tai, labor did not get its full snare; ex-
pressed the devotion of the Democratic
Party to the interests of the laboring and
producing masses, and favored laws es-
tablishing free public employment
agencies and adequate compensation,
and condemned the practice of i'm
porting contract labor favored the
election OF United States Senators by
a direct vote OF the people, and
expressed detestation of the widespread
corruption that had defeated the will of
the people in the Senate as now consti-
tuted; reiterated the demand for free
coinage Of silver, and declared in favor
OF just pension laws; denounced the
Mckinley bill, its theory and the mo-
tives OF its authors, declaring that it in
creases the cost OF the necessaries of
life, promotes dishonesty in manufac-
lures, corrupts politics and despoils the
many Tor the sake Of the few; demanded
equal opportunities for every section
the country and urged the removal OF
the restraints upon the merchant ma
rlne by the elimination of every oppres-
sive feature OF the tariff; denounced the
wasteiul expenditure OF the last billion
dollar Congress, and the alien owner
ship OF land; rendered hearty sympathy
to Ireland in her effort to gain home
rule, that safeguard of freedom which
the infamous Force bill attempted to
take away from the American people in
congressional elections; expressed hor-
ror at Russia's treatment of the Jews;
affirmed hearty sympathy with the
Worlds Fair, and urged liberal appro-
priation for it on the part of the State of

FROM THE H1Lo REcoRS

We learn that orders have been
given to have the prisoners put to
work on the Volcano road. 1t win
take at least week or ten DAYS to
get the prison camp moved and
ready for occupancy. Now, why
could not this have been done be-
fore? The time is very short, only
seven months more, when the work
will have to stop again, the biennial
period ending March 31st- At this
rate we will have to wait several
years to get the road finished.
We also learn that John More has
charge of the building OF the road.
As for the work, we believe be viii
be able to do it, but very much
doubt his ability to oversee a large
gang of men and keep all at honest
work. But we shall be glad to see
him try, and hope he will succeed
A thousand dollars a month, which
we learn is the limit allowed for the
said road, will not qua much OF a
gang of men on the road. But we
shall be glad to see even a small
gang at work, rather than none AZ
all. The sheriff has gone ont to-
select a site for the prisoners camp.

and killed on the Iwalani on her last
trip, by thoughtless white man,
standing on the shore at Olowalu.
near Lahaina. He and a comrade
were practising with repeating rife
when the steamer Iwalani steamed
by, and the shooter bet he could hit
the Iwalani's mast and fired and the
kanaka was Killed. Such thought
less acts should meet the severest
penalty of the law.
The past ten days have been ex-
ceptionally stormy all along our
coast. The rain has deluged the
whole country from Kohala to Puma,
east point. Our country roads are
almost impossible, thanks to the ma
hope policy of our Government.
Even our town roads are suffering
from the almost ceaseless downpour.
The telephone line to the Volcano
is finished, and messages are being
sent over the line already. MIR.
Richards arrived in town last Sun
day evening after four weeks stay
in the woods, erecting the line. He
reports the line of survey taken by
Mr.. Bruuer as being a good one for

on the route being exceptionally fine.

lowing passengers from San Fran

The American oil wells have al
ways been considered one of the
chief curiosities in this country of
big things. 1t would seem, how
ever, that We must yield the palm
to the Caspian oil region. Here we
have accounts of an enormous well
IN that section, belonging to the
Nobel brothers, which for a year
and half has been flowing without
intermission 1900 barrels of oil a
day. But this enormous output is
eclipsed by a well owned by the
Caspian Society, which begun to
flow oil on the 23d of January last.
and for three weeks yielded SO, 900
barrels of oil each twenty-four
hours. 1t then declined to II 900
barrels a day and has since then,
with some intermission, kept up to
the latter figure. In the face of
such record the American wells
must yield the championship to
Southern Asian welIs.-Ex.

In further consideration of the
subject referred to above,
viz: the naturalization of the
Crown lands and the question of
small holdings generally, it must
of course be kept in mind that
there is no use in expanding labor
and capital, even if soil and climate
be suitable, without easy access to
q market. A good road terminal
ing in seaport or some sort of a
centre of consumption, would soon
become lined with producers, but
it will be of no use for the Govern
ment even to give to hundred in
dividuals or families so many acres
of the best possible ground while
there existed the probability of the
fruits of q twelve-months' industry
being left to perish on their hands
for want of transport. The very
best class of small freeholders can
not afford to stand long out of their
money. They must get something
for their first harvest or they can
not go on.
OF the enormous quantities Of
hay, grain and cattle food gener-
ally, now imported, unquestionably
the larger proportion might be
grown in these islands, If the trans
port from the slopes of Maunakea
or Haleakala were as accessible
to Hilo and Honolulu as those
ports are to the farms of California.
Therefore, the prime requisite is,
roads, good trunk roads, railroads
as soon as possible, and then from
these the branch feeders will soon
begin to make their appearance, as
it were spontaneously.
Many of the lesser table fruits
and vegetables are ready for mar
ket in the first year, while the
more valuable tree products re-
quire several years before they be-
gin to make any return. They
might be planted and left very
much to themselves until they
begin to yield, while the small free
holder was attending to his hay or
garden fruits.
in the West Indies, the BAHIA
mas have doubled their revenue in
the last few years, mainly by the
cultivation of sisal, fibre, though

the road has been given to Mr..
John More, a half-caste Hawaiian.
Mr.. w. w. Bruner, the surveyor
of the route, remains with Mr..
More for some time to see that the
work is properly commenced and
till Supervisor More fully under
stands what is required. Opera
tons are to be commenced at once.
