Apart from the situation of the
Treasury, the Mckinley bill has
caused general business depression
by cutting down the receipts from
the sugar industry nearly one half. |
Stagnation and some distress have |
ensued, and for a year the outlook
was utterly uncertain. One crop
has been taken off under the new
conditions, and a number of the
plantations have been able to make
a small profit, while others will not
be able to go on. The wages of
field labor have, however, fallen,
and bill is now pending in the
House which will secure a further
reduction, while at the same time
providing ample protection for the
merchant and mechanic. The
prospects of the sugar industry are
therefore somewhat lighter, and an
improvement in this direction
means of course general improve
ment in all lines of business.
The past two or three years have
seen great deal of coffee planted
in small patches in different dis
tricts of the Kingdom, notably, in
Kona, on Hawaii, and experts be-
lieve that this is the beginning of
an industry which will one day
| throw sugar into the shade. A
fruit company has just been incor-
porated, which expects to put in
by the LIST of January, 1895, 100000
pineapple plants of the imported
varieties. A canning factory will
be established, followed by an ex-
port trade. This is also the begin
ming of an industry which will
eventually put millions of dollars
into the pockets of Hawaiian pro-
ducers.
The deepening of Honolulu har-
Dor opens this port to the great
steamers of the world, while it's
position at the cross roads of the
Pacific must ere long ensure it a
fruitful source of revenue. A large
coal yard is now being established
to meet the demands which the
future is sure to make. Finally,
an organized effort is making to
build up on a grand scale the al
o.vrrrIIg tourist 4-~n, "a
the splendid attractions of eli
mate and scenery which character
ize these islands insure its ultimate
success.
1t thus appears that instead
of being finally ruined by
the Mckinley bill, Hawaii is
passing through the narrow
gate of a financial crisis into an
era of splendid progress and ex-
pansion. The country offers an
unsurpassed field for investors and
investments will be safe.
Five years ago the Reform party
introduced the system of internal
development which has, with some
alterations, prevailed ever since.
The task which Hawaii has now
before it is simply the extension of
this system still further. Admin
istration must be simplifed; use
less offices cut off; salaries re-
duced an expensive military es-
Enlistment abandoned; free trade
with the United States secured
while every energy is concentrated
on the building of roads, landings
and bridges, and the judicious fos-
tering of the industries and devel-
opment of all the richly varied re-
sources of the Kingdom. The re-
suit of this policy, which we be-
lieve will be followed, will be a
prosperity far surprising that of
the Reciprocity Treaty in its best
days.

more likely cause for the in
creased business than the fact
that the bill removing the ten
cent tax on playing cards has
passed a second reading and
will probably go through with
a rush on the third. It's not

a Princess Poor Indeed.

Tho change Of heirs in line of descent 10
the throne OF Great Britain caused by the
death Of the Duke Of Clarence will be q
fruitful theme for speculation. With the
stopping of his breath new factor in poll
tics was brought forward, and 1t will be for
the savants to discuss how the empire, its
dependencies and allies will be affected.
But there is another than the political side
to the sad event, and one which will reach
aud touch the hearts Of all people in the
civilized world. Although Prince Albert
was heir apparent to the most powerful
throne in the world, be was not more than
man. Human passions we're his. and that
greatest of all passions-love-had recently
moved him to ask the hand and heart of his
cousin, the Princess Mary OF Teck, in mar
riage. Preparations for solemniziug their
union were being made when the fatal illness
came upon him.
II all the world loves lover" how much
more must all tho world love and sympa-
thize with this princess, bereft of her lover
when the hour for the marriage festivities
was fast approaching From the pinnacle
of happiness she is dashed to despair, and
made poorer than the bumblest peasant
girl whose prince in buckram lives TO love.
Through all of Albert's illness Mary was
ia faithful attendance by his side. They
possibly forgot that they were great and
mighty, as royalty goes, remembering only
that they were man and woman-lover and
sweetheart-and that the life Of one hung
only by a thread, likely to be snapped at
any moment. That picture is one to be
appreciated by every man and every
woman. But even if Mary, in those
long vigils, saw, besides lover and husband,
the throne of England receding from her,
was it more than natural3 It is to be
doubted If that added one pang to her suf-
fering, however. because she Is said to be a
true and warm-hearted woman, and women
so constituted give no thought to wealth or
power when the life Of one SO dear is pre-
pairing for flight.
However, the history Of England may be
changed by the changed conditions the
| sympathy of the world will be poured out
upon the princess widowed before she was a
bride.

Cardinal Manning was an old man, hav-
ing passed his SD year, and was noted for
his eloquence as preacher, and for the zeal
with which he supported the infallibility
dogma. He was one Of the great leaders Of
the Catholic church, and was prominent In
all the movements of that church in Eng
land from the time he left the Church of
England until bis death. He was active In
good works and reforms, aud accomplished
many things that will keep his memory
fresh in the minds of the people Of England
for a long time. He was a cardinal for
seventeen years.
Cardinal Simeoni, although not as old
man as Cardinal Manning, was, however,
we'll along in years. He was in his 10th year.
He was a noted figure in Rome and was re-
cognized as one Of the ablest of the cardinals
1t is understood that the policy of the
Catholic church in many important matters
was based upon his advice.
1t is seldom that the deaths OF three per-
sons occupying such conspicuous places in
the political and religious affairs of the
world occur so closely together. They show
that the influenza epidemic is general and
virulent, and that it claims its victims from
among the young ana the old and from all
ranks.
