Auley Palmer was elected Senator on the first

II was tempting lure; but Moore did not

article needed by every householder, every

the best investment a man can make who
has any pumping TO do, because they work

For several months in the year
there are no tomatoes in the San
Francisco markets; for several
months the price is high-from 5
to 10 cents per pound. There is
an unlimited market for this fruit
in the Pacific States. On the Ha-
waIian Islands tomatoes can be
grown all the year around. They
can kbe grown equal to any pro-
duced on the Coast. They can be
shipped thousands of miles, and
are marketable from ten to twelve
days after picking. A steamer load
of tomatoes could be sent every
week for several months each year
from Honolulu to San Francisco,
and the profits would be enormous.
Honolulu tomatoes could be laid
down in Chicago in the middle of
winter, and they would sell for Is
cents per pound.

to reclothe the surface with either
pasture or plantation.
The sandal wood which former
ly yielded the most valuable part
of the revenues of this country,
was utterly extirpated many years
ago and no attempt has been mi de
to restore it. The most valuable
camphor wood tree in this island,
one of only three or four, was
wantonly or ignorantly destroyed
few days ago. 1t may not be
generally known that the olive
tree Independently of its fruit sup
plies a beautiful wood for the cab
met maker, and there are many
districts where the olive tree might
be grown in these islands.
AT present we import the whole
of our lumber and a good deal of
flrewood and yet it may be found
that We are destroying faster than
nature can reproduce.
The Prince of Montenegro, it is
said, has utilized his army in time
of peace by requiring every pri-
vate to plant 200 vines a year, and
every officer from five to twenty
olive trees every year, making
in all provision for the plsnting
of 100000 vines and 10000 olive
trees.
We are not in favor of sump-
tuary laws of any description, but
would gladly see waste places
made fruitful.
Many of our more valuable trees,
valuable that is for the richness
and beauty of their wood, such as
the kou and koa are becoming
more scarce every year. 1t would
be safe to say that there is more OF
these two woods buried-for vani-
tvs sake-every year than nature
can reproduce in five.

TIMELY TOPICS.-I.

Has anything been said about an
exhibit from this country at the
Chicago Fair in 1892? 1t is time
the matter was being agitated.
Certainly this country should be
represented, and we'll represented.
Foreign emigration and foreign
capital are wanted. The outside
world knows nothing about the
capabilities and resources of these
isles, and no better opportunity
than the coming Worlds Fair
could be desired for advertising
our kingdom.
To prepare suitable exhibit
will require considerable time. The
matter should be inaugurated at
once, and plan of operations laid
out that will place Hawaii promln-
entity before the nations of the
earth.
Something else is called for than
few outline maps and lot of
lava specimens. Hawaii has large
resources and great possibilities.
and there is certainly brains and
money enough in the country to
make creditable exhibit at Chi
cag0.

OUR FORESTS.

The question of the maintenance
OF growing trees on areas insult
able for ordinary cultivation is one
that of late years has occupied
public attention In most civilized
countries throughout the world,
and has given rise to legislative
action as well as private efforts in
most parts of the world.
At meeting of the +" American
Association for the Advancement
of Science held at Toronto last
year DIR. b. e. Fernow, Chief of
the Forestry Division of the De-
partment of Agriculture, stated
that taking the continent of North
America as q whole, "the people
OF to-day are using up twice as
much timber as is being replaced
by natural growth, and that in the
face of such an impressive fact,
measures looking to the preserva-
ton of forests are of high interest
and Importance.
What may be said in this respect
OF America, may be said, more or
less, of every country where the
forests are not protected by strin-
gent legislature enactments.
In the United States of course
this is matter to be dealt with by
the Legislature of each individual
State and many States have taken
action on the matter, either in
surveying the remaining untouched
timber land with a view to their
protection or in provision for
planting, or regulating the cutting
and telling, etc., and the voluntary
observance of Arbor Day" shows
at all events that the people are
alive to the Importance of the ques-
ton.
Here, in these islands attention
has been frequently called to the
subject VITA but little practical
result. The attempted legislation
on the matter has been frequently
made, ill-devised and of such a ma
lure as TO be more honored in the
breach than in the observance.
Goats, horses and horned cattle do
more mischief than need be. The
foot bills and in many instances
far mp the mountoin sides and
ravines have been stripped or

No country is worth map room
until 1T can raise its own vege-
tables and make its own boots and
shoes.
To see Honolulu sending to
San Francisco for cabbages,
squash, beets, oranges and tur-
nlps should make the statue
of Kamehameha weep. We tell
the world that Hawaii has a won
derful climate and soil; true, but
why don't people utilize the same?
The best thing that could happen
to this country would be a heavy
duty on vegetables, hay, feed, and
all articles that can be manufac-
tured here, such AS boots, doors,
wagons, harness, etc., etc. Then
make manufacturing plants and
vegetable gardens, etc, exempt
from taxes for term of years, or
encourage them in some suitable
way.
