ments are, however, automatic,
and need not be dwelt on.
It is a remarkable circumstance
that the exports and imports of
Hawaii do not stand in this Iela-
ton to each other. From 1884 to
1869, the imports were constantly,
though not heavily, in excess.
Since 1869 the relation has been
reversed, and since 1884 the coun-
try has sold more than twice as
much as it has bought That is,
it has apparently sold every year
several millions of dollars worth
of sugar, for which it has received
no return in goods or money.
There are three explanations Of
this condition of affairs. An ex-
cess of exports over imports may
mean 1. that the country is paying
off old debts. 2. That foreign cap
ital is invested in the country, or
3. That the home capitalists are
investing part of their profits
abroad. Probably all these causes
have been in operation in the
present case.
The excess of imports over cx-
ports for a large number of years
in succession constituted debt Of
this country, which had to be paid,
either in exports or in sales of pro-
perty here. Some of it was doubt
less paid in exports. This, how
ever, would probably account for
but little of the deficiency. A
more important factor is undoubt-
eddy the investments made by
plantation owners abroad. The
final and probably the most con-
siderable factor in the problem is
the foreign ownership of planta-
tons. It is obvious that if all the
plantations in the kingdom were
owned abroad, the imports would
simply represent part of the cost of
production, and the profits would
never come into the country at all.
These explanations may seem
elementary, but they deal with a
very serious fact about which very
few ever pause to reflect. It should
hardly be necessary in view of the
foregoing, to say how disastrous to
the country this condition ofthings
is. The difference between the ex-
ports and imports represents a loss
to this country,-not to the planta-
ton owners,-of several millions OF
dollars every year. If this cap
ital which has been earned in this
country, but spent and invested
abroad had stayed here, it would
have built wharves and roads and
railways, have opened up new
lands and developed new industries,
increased the revenues of the Gov
eminent by hundreds of thousands
of dollars, added largely to the
population and doubled the wealth
of the country. In view of these
facts it certainly seems no exagger-
alton to speak of the excess of ex-
ports over imports, or, in other
words, of foreign ownership and the
withdrawal of home capital, as one
of the greatest evils under which
the country has to suffer.

PATHS SURPRISE.
She Delights Chicago Audience
By Singing "Annie Rooney"


CHICAGO, Feb. 24.-Patti and her
artists were given a serenade last
night by the Valesi orchestra. Nj
colini and Mascaroni warbled effec-
lively and Del Puente sang a funny
italian ballad. Then came PATHS
turn. All expected Home, Sweet
Home" or Coming through the
Rye" but to the establishment of
everybody that wonderful voice
sang "Annie Rooney" Beginning
with the first verse, Patti trilled it
off and wound up with the chorus,
"She's my Annie" The song,
coming from her lips, was the
source of surprise and unrestrained
amusement.

Sometime, perhaps, you
have had occasion to make a
few remarks over a dull
knife-if you indulge in the
conventional spring chicken
you have certainly noticed that
unless the knife is particularly
sharp the spring in the chick
en- is more perceptible. If you
send your cutlery to the shop
to be ground the result is not
always satisfactory, neither is
the cost. To obviate such
annoyances, and expense, a
bright young man in California
invented a machine which must
be Of great convenience to
every house-keeper. Its a
miniature grindstone made of
composition and adapted for
use in kitchens. Besides being
used for grinding knives, scis-
sors may be sharpened on it
SO that they will be quite as
good as new. Every lady uses
scissors and they all know what
it is to pick up a dull pair.
These grinders are new here
and it is possible that ours is
the only place in town where
you can get them.
Have you provided yourself
with a small safe yet or do you
prefer waiting until some one
relieves you of your coin or
your plate? Wise people pre-
fer having a safe so they can
put their valuables where burg
lars cannot burgle or the
cottony cushion scale corrupt.
Honolulu is particularly free
from bold bad men but, re-
member that times are hard
and poverty begets crime. A
big appetite and no means of
satisfying it ignores the little
matter of conscience. You'd
better get a safe. We have
the only ones in town suitable
for a dwelling and it's better
to be sure than sorry.
With March comes visions
of a long and warm period,
tall grass and insufficient
water. If you have a lawn and
care anything about having it
look we'll you'll want a good
hose. Its a question whether
there's as much hose used in
any city of the same size as
in Honolulu. There have
been more or less complaints
too, about the quality of hose
sold here. Whether it is be-
cause the climate has a bad
effect or the hose was orr
ginally bad is hard to say but
the defect was there Just the
same. This cannot be said,
however, of the "Gold Seal
Brand recently imported by
us. 1t is of pure rubber, made
very strong and it is said will
stand a triAe more rough
usage than the average hose
gets. The price is not much
more than the ordinary hose
and the life a good deal
longer.
You've not forgotten what
we said last year about lawn
mowers If you have been
moving during the winter

The self confident driver of the
famous mule ACKNOWLEDGMENT was
scarcely more taken by surprise, by the
unexpected kick from that stubborn
animal, than were the republican press
of Wisconsin, by the righteous judicial
decision recently rendered in the treas
ury cases. Some of them are now
slowly coming to, however, and are
republishing articles from the Cedar
burg News, to show, that whether
Judge NeWsman's decision is sound
law or not or not it is not equity ac-
cording to Col. Fred Horn.

IA Note of Warming
The Inter-Ocean.


The Wisconsin Democracy has been
heard from-not exactly officially, but
in way that may well challenge the
attention Of the Big Three, Hill,
German and Brice. Mr.. Grover CIeve-
land may not have friend in the New
York delegation, to be chosen by the
Albany convention Of three weeks
hence, but he will undoubtedly have
the solid, enthusiastic, and persistent
support Of the Wisconsin delegation.
1t was q member Of that delegation,
Col. Villas, who presided over the con-
yention which put Cleveland in nomin-
alton eight years ago, and another
member Of the same delegation, Gen.
Bragg, made the famous declaration,
land we love him for the enemies he
has made" The delegation from that
state will stand by the ex-president as
long as he is IN the field, it is an
nounced. If he drops out then some
Western man will be taken up and
supported with the same enthusiastic
unanimity. The senatorial junta may
find that it is not as easy to manipulate
great national convention, fresh
from the people, and with one task in
hand, as it was to snare the Demo-
cratic majority in congress. German
and Hill are adopts in the tricks of
politics. Brice has big lot of money,
and they make a strong team for some
purposes, when harnessed Russian
fashion, but that sort of power has its
limitations. They may find that the
homespun cunning of John NJ. Palmer
and the splendid accomplishments of
Col. Villas have in them more real
potency than their best laid plans 1t
would certainly be strange indeed if
the west should not be in it. Whether
Cleveland is or is not will depend more
upon the prairie states than upon the
empire state.

In calling the New York democratic

The surprise of the republican press
over the decision of Judge Newman,
compelling the eX-treasurers to dis
gorge vast sums of interest money
secured by loaning in an illegal man
ner funds which they failed to loan
in the manner required by law, can
alone be accounted for by the force of
habit, which has grown strong upon
them and has dulled their comprehen-
sion. The law is plain; and to the
unbiased mind the equity in the case
is all on the side of the trust funds
and the state. The expressions of sur
prise on the part of the these apollo
gizers for the nefarious practice of
pocketing this money reminds The
Democrat of an incident in the life of
good, honest farmer who lived some
years ago on the old Galena road,
about mile south of Mineral Point.
one morning on going into his field of
ripened corn, he found therein two
gipsies-father and son. The older
gypsy had in his possession a sack
pretty We'll filed with ears of corn.
The owner of the field, and of the
corn-its accretion-did MT wait fol-
the case to be decided according to the
law and the evidence, but rushed upon
the lntruoers, and Selling hold OF
the sack began to spill the corn out
onto the ground; when the young
Gypsy turned to the older one and IN
a surprised tone exclaimed, What
amt he going to let you have it
Father?" AS the farmer had blood in
his eye, and was strong enough tc

Along in 1889, soon after The Mil
waukee Journal began the crusade
against the state treasurers for the in
terest earned by treasury balances, a
prominent and shrewd politician gra-
tuitou8ly advised editor Nieman to let
the matter drop, adding that such a
fight in the interests of the people
never wins. But nevertheless The
Journal kept the fight up with re-
newed energy, and all the world knows
that it has won most abundantly.

On Monday Hon. A. r. Bushnell
introduced in congress resolution
providing for an amendment to the
constitution, declaring that polygamy
shall never exist within the United
States or any place within their juris-
dictlon, and giving congress power to
enforce the proposed amendment and
punish its violation. Mr.. Bushnell's
plan of dealing with the evil of
polygamy is the most simple, direct
and effective yet proposed; and it
is to be hoped that his resolution will
pass both houses of congress. That it
would be adopted by the several states
there is no doubt. BY the way, Mr..
Bushnell is proving one of the most
active and useful members of con-
gress. And, as his ability is of the
kind that wears well and accomplishes
good and lasting results, his congress
sional career is very promising.

Republican papers are anxious to
have Cleayeland withdraw from the
presidential contest and are busily
engaged in circulating reports that
such is his intention. They know that
if he is the democratic candidate the
campaign next fall will be made upon
a tarif-reform issue, so clearly-defined
as to make tariff reform popular and
successful. With any other candidate
other issues less dangerous to repub-
licans would be given precedence and
therefore they dread to see Cleveland
nominated.

What the West can Do.
The Chicago Times.


During this more than, quarter Of a
century mighty change has come up
on the face of the republic. New
York is still the Empire state, but the
seat Of empire has been changed to the
Mississippi valley. The republican
party, with the acumen which charac-
terizes its management, has been elect
ing it's candidates from this vast region
-Lincoln of Illinois, Grant of Illinois,
Hays Of Ohio, Garfield Of Ohio, Har-
rison Of Indiana-and all the while
democracy has been pinning its faith
to New York. It is a great state
Sometimes it is democratic, sometimes
republican. 1t voted for and it voted
against Grant. 1t voted for and it
voted against Cleveland. 1t gave its
electoral vote to Harrison while giving
it's gubernatorial vote to Hill. Illinois
or Wisconsin or Illinois and Iowa are
an offset to New York. No party has
ever taken candidate from west of
the Mississippi. Allison tried the re-
publican convention and was repulsed.

Boies, governor of Iowa? What if
they name John M. Palmer, senator Of
Illinois? What if they name William

The Inalienable Right to Kick.


Gov. Peck is wrong when he says a
kicker is not a good Democra If it
had not been for kickers the Demo
cratic party would not have thousands
of voters that belong it today. There
were for example some 10000 Repub-
lican kickers in Wisconsin in 1890, OF
Gov. Peck would not be wearing the
title. The Democratic party should
not be talking about the political dist
pline that discourages kicking.

A few years ago the republicans

his honest administration. 1t was held
that the affairs of the state had been
so honestly administered that there
was no need of state tax. Senator
Spooner so far degenerated into mis-
representation as to claim this at opera
hall in this city. While campaign
orators were stuffing the people with
trumpet tongues of eloquence over the
honesty of that administration, it was
