THE NICARAGUAN CANAL.

From an article in the February
number of Gvldthwalte's Geograph-
ical Magazine we clip the follow
ing: "The Nicaraguan Canal when
completed will reduce the distance
~ water between New York and
San Francisco, now Il, $40 miles via
Cape Horn, to AGO miles, saving
10,0S0 miles. Between New York
and Valparaiso the distance saved
would be $3.50 miles; between
New York and Callao, 6,976 miles,
and between New York and Quay
aquil 9,4lS miles. Between New
Orleans and San Francisco the dis
tance saved would be 1000 miles.
and between Liverpool and San
Francisco 1882 miles. The United
States Congress, by an act dated
February 20, 1889, granted to GER
tain members of the association
holding the canal concession char
ter of incorporation. under the style
of the Maritime Canal Company of
Nicaragua, with power to issue
sl0O, 100000 of capital stock, to in
crease the capital to 5000, 900, 900,
and to mortgage its property and

The Maritime Canal Company of

under the act of Congress, and has
its domicile at No. A Wall street,

California Past and Present.

L cSG anu Co(Aes
A recent number of the Fruit
Trade Journal contains an inter-
esting article under this heading,
the substance of which is as follows:
/" In 1919. those who were attract
ed to California by allurIng stories
of the gold buried beneath its soil,
little thought that the day was not
far distant when the name of that
State would be so dear to the fruit
consuming population of the coun-
try. Happily, the once great dis
lance between the East and Cali
fornia has been greatly Iessened
by the improved facilities of rapid
transit and qnick transportation,
and we are obtaining a more init
mate knowledge of the re-
sources of that semi-tropical State.
The pioneers of California found
the Seasons of seed time and har-
vest new and strange to them. In
June, they saw russell brown hills
and sun parched plains, but later
autumn and a longer winter of
verdure. spriogtime following har-
vest, and growth and vegetation
during what had been the winter
months in the home they had left.
Slowly the suggestions of nature be-
gan to be understood, land to day the
arts of horticulture and agricul-
ture. as they are practiced in Cali
fornia, are known nowhere else in
the world. I he failure of the fruit
and vegetable crops in the East the
past year, caused large shipments
to be sent from that great garden
spot of America. In 1874, California
shipped East only 200 pounds of
raisins, and in 1889 sent 1888, 500
pounds. In 1880 there were sent
East only 590,0OO pounds of dried |
fruit aud 5,1SO,OOn pounds of green
fruit, while in 1889 the quantity |
bad risen to 33.OO0.Oe0 pounds Of |
dried, and 5O,OO0,OOO pounds of |
green fruit. The increasing de-
nand for fruits is shown by the
act that thirty years ago, there
we're imported into the country
100000 boxes of citrus fruits. Since
1882 the shipments from California
lave increased from 9l7, 900 pounds,
o 20,0U0,000 pounds. Last year
Florida produced 2,15O,0GO boxes
md California 7S0,0u0 boxes, and
here were imported 1854, 963
,oxes and 1922 barrels of these
ruits alone, the sale having in !
reased fourteen fold.

BURGLARS AND BURGLARIE5.

Another epidemic Of burglary
seems to have set in; three houses
have been entered, several others
attempted and in one case the de-
fender of his own house is severely
wounded by burglar armed with
s deadly weapon. For sundry rea-
sons We are not inclined to believe
that these crimes were committed
BY natives or by permanent resi-
dents of any complexion or ma
tionAiity. They are hsbituaI
criminals who finding their usual
haunts too hot for them, have come
down here for change. and take
advantage of the easy trustfulness
and light fsstenings familiar here
to get living while here and

The Hon. Paul Neumann, who
last week returned from Japan,
with about 1900 immigrant labor
ers, deserves the thanks, not only
Of the planters, but also of all who
ere interested in the business
prosperity of the Kingdom, for the
manner in which he has co13rcted
the service entrusted tt l and
the success which has resulted
from his mission. 1t was no easy
matter to remove the prejudices of
the Japanese Government against
further emigration of its people to
Hawaii, and this could probably
never have been accomplished ex-
cept by the personal influence and
skilful tact of Hon. R. W. Irwin,
who SO ably represents our Govern
ment in Japan. and who must share
with Mr.. Neumann in the credit
which attaches to the present mis-
sion.
One thing is quite certain, that
the Japanese Government will not
permit Hawaii to pl.ce its subjects
on the same political footing with
the Chinese, between which two
races there is as much difference
SIS between Europeans and Turks
At least this is the impression of
most travellers who have visited
both countries, and witnessed the
difference between them. No other
country in the world places the
japanese under political law, and
some provision must be made to
remove It in Hawaii.
