DECLINE OF HAWAII.

The provision of the Mckinley
Act placing Cuban sugar on the
free list has had the effect of re-
ducing our trade with the Ha-
waiian Islands. Our receipts of
sugar from them have fallen off in
quantity and they represent less
money. The total receipts for the
six months ending June so, 1892,
were 1914, 199,629 pounds as against
2l6,173, 538 pounds during the cor
responding months of 1891, and the
value was 1884, 566 as against
$S,996,660. The quantity received
this year was in excess of the
quantity received in 1890, 1889
and 1888, but the money value was
considerably less. In the first six
months of 1889 our receipts of
sugar from Hawaii were only 49,
100000 pounds less than those of
this year, but they brought nearly
100000 more money.
Of course diminished receipts
from sugar exports have reduced
the capacity of the islands to con-
sumo imported goods. The total
importations for the six months
ending June 80, 1892, were only
81, 328,295 as against $2,20O,995 in
the same months of 1891. Unless
an advance should take place in
the price of saecharine products we
must expect contraction of the
Hawaiian market for American
goods. The islands cannot buy
more than they can pay for.
They were created in a CONNER
cial point of view by the recipro-
city treaty. They are really moth
ing more than volcanic mountains
rising out of the sea, and clothed

alluvial soil of such richness that
five tons of sugar have been OBJ

1t is said that their aggregate area
will not exceed 100000 acres
Part of this area lies along the
coast in a narrow strip. The

the case in point this il particu
larly important. If the House il |
going TO be 50 foolish az TO squan- |
der 10000 on the maintenance Of
a useless guard at time when the
vital interests Of the country are
suffering for lack Of necessary
funds, it should at least reserve it's
folly until every member is present
in his seat TO share in it or protest
against it, Az long as the mon
archical form Of government is
maintained it is Of course proper to
pass all appropriations which are
required to support the dignity Of
the Throne, and the ADVERTISER
will never be found opposed to any
expense which can really be proved
to be necessary. 1t would be diff
cult, however, to devise any argu-
ment which could justify the ex-
penditure of half hundred thou
sand on a royal guard, when the
things which really do make for the
prosperity Of the country at home
and its reputation are abroad are
cut off with shilling. The Sur
vey Department, the one branch
of the Government which lends it
lustre, must be crippled, because
forsooth, the country is poor, but
the army is to be let go unshorn,
whether the country is poor or not.
Policy like this is the surest way
to impoverish a nation, and will
soon lead us into the royal road to
bankruptcy which we were tread
ing before '87. Noble Cornwell
must pardon the Legislators and
people of Hawaii, if they refuse to
follow him down that slippery dc
cline.
Why cannot a monarchy, as
well as republic, be maintained
with democratic simplicity? If
there is really any divinity which
hedges a king, in this nineteenth
century, it should invest the mon
arch with dignity which can dis
pense with gay extravaganza and
pomp, with toy soldiers and tinsel
majors and colonies. On the other
hand, if there is no such divinity,
then the monarch himself is an
anachronism, and it is high time
for him to go. In these days of
restlessness, the Queen of Hawaii
can do nothing which will lend
more stability to her throne than
showing disposition to discard
every unnecessary expense, and a
desire really to identify her inter
ests with those of the country at
large. In our days of government
by the people, the incumbent OF
the royal office has no standing
except as the representative of the
people. The people here need and
desire most imperatively, roads,
landings and bridges, and they dc
not want money diverted from
these objects to support useless dis
play. If Her Majesty can bring
herself to adopt these needs of the
people as her own, and renounce
everything which stands in their
way, she will earn title to the
confidence of the nation which will
be better safeguard than all hel
tin soldiers.

LEGISLATORS ON A CRUISE.
They Visit the DYed9er and See
the Wheels Go Round.

The Legislature adjourned yes
terday in order to enable the men,
bers to accompany the Com mittee
in an excursion to the dredger.
The tug Eleu waited for its guests
at the foot of Brewers wharf, and
shortly after 80 it steamed out to
the entrance Of the harbor and
landed the company on the
dredger. The wise law makers
clambered all over the structure
out on the platform and up on the
roof, or upper deck. They went
inside and were able to satisfy
themselves by personal inspection
that the wheels were going round
very fast indeed. They also saw
the pipe going down into the clear
green water, and ascertained by
the leaks at the joints that some
thing was passing through it.
From the rear platform they had a
splendid view of the mountains,
from Diamond Head to the utmost
peak of the Waianae range.
After the legislators were tired of
seeing the wheels go round, they
re-embarked and proceeded to the
Myrtle Boat Club. Here the tug
ran aground and it was necessary
for the lawmakers to jump as
much as three feet to the pier.
The pluck and long legs of the
gallant Garibaldi did not fail him
and he took one flying leap which
landed him in safety, but when
the ex-revolutionist Bipikane
looked over the perilous chasm his
heart went to the bottom like lead.
Threats and persuasion alike failed
to move him until someone sug-
gested that he shut his eyes. This
suggestion must have proved eff
cacious, for he got over somehow.
A solid causeway has been built
from point back of the Myrtle
Boat Club out toward the mouth of
the harbor, and behind this is to
grow up the "made land" formed
by the dredging of the harbor.
The doubts expressed as to the
power of this embankment to resist
a Kona disappeared upon inspec-
ton, as it appeared to be solidly
built up from a coral foundation.
Twenty-Five hundred feet of pipe
extend from the dredger to the en-
closure behind the embankment,
and here the pipe was pouring out
a tremendous stream of sand and
water-chiehy water, but with sand
enough mixed in to have formed
already a bed of not far from
three acres of a depth of about
seven feet. 1t is estimated that
the proceeds of the dredging of the
bar will be about ten acres of this
made " land, though if, as assert
ed, the work is already half over,
that amount will hardly be reach
ed. The scene at the mouth of the
pipe was most interesting, as a
motley gathering was present
looking for treasure, two. boys be-
ing constantly up to their waists
in the flow, sitting the sand for
shells. Another was fishing up
debris in long net. Nor are these
fishings unrewarded, for the sands
give up many pretty shells and
fragments of shells, some of them
of considerable value. At night
the scene is even more animated,
as the number of treasure seekers
is augmented.
The dredger is now working very
satisfactorily, and if it were in
smooth water would be able to de.
velop its capacities to great advan.
tage. AS it is, if all goes we'll, its
powerful engines will soon make
short work of the harbor bar.

While we are waiting for

and at about quarter price.

New Dress Materials.

Printed muslins are in great favor
for evening and house wear, but, of
course. they are too light and airy for
the street, writes Miss Hooper in the
May Ladies' Home Journal. The
fowers of the field and of the hot
house bloom upon the pale blue, pale
rose, lavender, gray, mode, or white
grounds, and make it possible for
each maiden fair to trim her gown

irrevereutly called them, such as are

Naming a Country House.

Colors may be used with effect; the
name being, of course, taken from the
prevailing tint of the paint or stone of
the exterior, writes Mrs. George T.
I.anigan in an exhaustive article on
the Naming of Country House" In
the May Ladies' Home Journal.
Canary Cottage" is the title of Mrs.
Thomas Scott's Bar Harbor villa.
"Red Top" was the name of President
Cleveland's home near Washing ton,
and "Grsy Gables" Is the somewhat
similar title of his recent summer
purchase. screen Grove" is an allit-
erative Eame aud ''Greynook" cosy
one. 1t is we'll in combining color
to form name, to choose, If possible,
an alliterative adjunct. "Blue Bay"
Is q charming summer home, and
Brown Beaches" another. Grey
stone," which was one of the first of
American country places, is one of the
best examples Of this utilization OF
color in the choice of a name.

Fort Worth Gszette-To boil down
the criticism OF Governor Hogg's ad
ministration. He came into office on
the commissio Issue and on the pro-
posal to enforce the law. Those were
questions large to monopolize the
attention of any governor. but with q
spirit of restlessness that has amazed
many of his frit nds, Governor Hogg
has undertaken what he evidently
conceives to be the complete refor-
NATION of the government. That he
is honest In that self assumed mission
the Gazette has not bit of doubt,
nor can 1t blink its eyes to the TACT
that he lie an extremely unsafe man
to have at the head of government
in which is bound up the veal OF
woe of such vast interests as are

A Nation OF Athletes.

Because q boy goes to work is no
reason why he should never kick o
football, pull an oar, or run or skate,
writes Foster Coates In the May
Ladies' Home Journal. If all these
outdoor sports we're given up, Amer
lea would soon become nation of
puny pigmies. Our men would be
holloway yellow-skinned, and
fiat chested, instead of rosy-cheeked
an robust as they are now. Take
plenty of walking exercises. Walk
to and from school, to the office or
shop, and in the evenings twice or
three times week, go out to lectures
or social gatherings, or to see some
good dramatic performance. Go to
bed early. DO not get into the habit
of staying up too late. Arise early
and you will find that the hours you
give to work or study will he OF in
calcuble benefit to you. When you
work, devote every thought to what
you have in hand. When you study,
hasten your mind upon the subject be-
tore you. When you play, let no
thought of business or study disturb
you.

Gill Friendships

After girl is twenty, writes Mrs.
John Wanamaker in May Ladies'
Home Journal, she Is very apt to
make friends of married women,
women other than those she has
known In early girlhood, and who
have since married. On these married
friends she often lavishes affection
and admiration in larger quantities
than she has heretofore given her girl
friends. Such friendships .are--if
their objects are the right kind OF
women, and q careful mother will pre-
vent an intimacy of any other kind
OF great benefit to girl, showing her
a wider sphere of woman's influence
than she has yet investigated. And

tion and opens the intellect IL valu-

Mr. Beecher's Love of Books.

When we had been few years in
Brooklyn he could in some degree
crafty his tastes for works of art,
gems, paintings, and especially
books, writes Mrs. Henry Ward
Beecher in the May Ladies' Home
Journal. He had always earnestly
desired to possess large, we'll select

degrees, to secure It,. But temptations
in large bookstore were almost
Irresistible, and sometimes. before he
was aware, he had INDUCED beyond
his intentions, and these mistakes
were often the cause of great amuse.
ment to US both.
Returning from some unusual
"raid," he would come TO me with the
sem biance Of great distress, but
making laughable failure of 1t. and
lament over the great temptations
that waylaid him In every store.
"And where is human nature so weak
and helpless as In bookstore?" he
would say. ."rhe appetite for drink
