The natives have very large
canoes, some of them over one
hundred feet in length. I used to
think that Mr.. H. F. Bertleman, at
his cottage near Diamond Head,
had the boss canoe, but these Fiji
canoes throw his all into the shade,
and are splendid specimens of
native work.
Coolies from India are worked
on the plantations, on the FIVE

people, and very fond of jewelry.
Ornaments of every kind of jewelry
are seen hanging from their ears,
noses, necks, fingers, and with gilt
rings on their toes.
As l said before, there are very
few horses here. Most of the
wealthy people ride in small

or three natives-two at the pole

SAMOA AND FIJI.

CFrom our Travelling Correspondent
I left Honolulu in October on
the Alameda, bound for Apia, but
on my arrival there I found
the country bordering on rebel
lion so decided to keep on to
FIJI. Apia is one of the pref
test garden spots on earth.
I wonder why people with plenty
Of money and time do not extend
their excursion trips to the Samoan
group. The views in and around
Apia are more grand than your
famous Pail near Honolulu, with
its sky-scraping mountains and
forests.
Compared with Honolulu or
Apia, the village of Suva is no
where. The weather is very warm
here. l am told that the heat
equals 40 degrees in the shade,
though the thermometer does not
indicate it. 1t rains very hard
and frequently, and the heat ap-
pears to be a steam from the
ground and the rotting vegetation
on it. Ones clothing feels damp
all day, and foreigners-men and
women-of whom there are very
few, look as though they had fever
and chills or jaundice. There are
very few horses, and no hacks or
or teams for work. The
natives do all the carrying on their
backs or the best way they can
handle it.
These natives are fine specimen

being fully Z feet high, and many

A NEW CABINET.
Some New Ministers for the
Public 10 Swallow.
tl'rom Daily, Jan. IA

Yesterday morning when Presi-
dent Walker called the House to
order it was discovered that about
ten members were present, so the
President adjourned things until
the afternoon at , o'clock. 1t was
a noticeable fact that in the morn
ing there were no "haole" members
present, and various reports were
circulated for their non-attendance.
In the afternoon at 2 o'clock a
small number of native members
were in their seats and additions
Kept cons' ltly arriving until the
Secretly counted noses and found
about twenty-four hono-ables pres
ent. While all this was going on
no "haole" members made their APP
pearance, and it looked like the
House would have to be adjourned
again; but in some manner n story
was circulated in the lobby that
a message would soon arrive from
the Palace, so everybody waited I'M
til it arrived. Nobody knew just
what tie nature of the message
was until nearly 3 o'clock, when
the Secretary read a document an
bouncing that Her Majesty had
appointed new Cabinet, the men,
be 5 of which had arrived and were
standing by the desks usually as
signed to Gabriel Ministers. 1t
was Samuel Parker, Foreign At
fairs; W. H. Cornwell, Finance; J.
F. Colburn, Interior; and A. P.
Peterson, Attorney General.
The natives received the new
Cabinet with cheers, but the bust |
ness men about town were not so
enthusiastic, as some of the
opinions expressed Yesterday re-
garding the new Ministers would
not look nice in print.

| NEW SURVEYOR.
Clarence L. Crabbe Stepped
Down and Ont Yesterday.
From Daily, January 81

From Daily, January g.
Clarence L. Crabbe, who has
been Port Surveyor for over a year
stepped down and out yesterday,
and he is no longer on the pay roll
of this Government. The cause
which led to his resignation occur
red on the arrival of the 6. S. Rio
Janeiro, when by some oversight
he allowed sixty-two adult Chi
nese to land from that vessel, all
of whom held passports which
called for children under II years
of age.
Crabbe made an explanation to
his superiors claiming that when
he examined the immigrants on
board of the vessel, it was quite
dark between decks aud he was
unable to make a proper examina-
ton of the men. Collector Cleg-
horn spoke in the highest terms
OF Crabbe's ability and in
tegrity yesterday, and said he
was sorry to lose his services; but
under the circumstances he could
not overlook such glaring careless
ness, and therefore he accepted the
resignation of the Port Surveyor.
Mr.. Crabbe has made many
friends since he has been in office
by the uniform courtesy he has al
ways shown to the general public,
and many regrets were expressed
when it was known that
he had lost his office.
Captain A. n. Trip, the jailer
at Oahu Prison, has been appointed
to the place. Mr.. Trip has held
the Office before.

FROM KOHALA.
Superstitious Hawaiians Fear the
Loss of Their Children.

From an Occasional Correspondent
Here is a district with five sugar
plantations, ten houses of worship
within distance of seven miles,
besides the one at Mahukona, two
Government and one private Eng
fish schools ofover 100 pupils each,
one seminary, a railroad, two ports
of entry, and the ''handsomest
chimney in the Kingdom" all on
the side Of Hawaii nearest the me-
tropolis, yet having, it is believed,
the poorest mail and steamer SER
vice in the Kingdom.
No mater how urgent q case
may be, there's no communicating
with Honolulu by any regular ser
vice excepting once in ten days.
Better TO be sure than was the
condition forty years ago, but not
as good As five years ago, and not
entirely satisfactory
As rather marked evidence of
the decided vitality Of Hawaiian
superstitions, may be mentioned
the fact that natives were inquir-
ing with creduIous concern a few
days ago about q certain report that
three haole mu and one kanaka
mu were touring the island in
quest of children to bury under the
foundation of the New Masonic
Temple and that three children
had already been secretly seized
in Hamakua for that purpose.
1t would appear from some
sources of information that notices
had been posted in the district
warning Hawaiians to keep their
children within doors after sun
down.

WHAT OF THE FUTURE

In a few days the Cherokee strip of
public lands will be opened to claim
ants and will be rapidly taken. This
practically ends the sale Of public
lands. Millions Of acres have been
given to railroad corporations, but the
government has lost that and the cor
poration owners will not make anv
presents.
People a no longer sell out their
property and go West" in search of
cheap lands. Desirable lands are about
as cheap in one section as another.
With present conditions, farming must
be made to pay. To do this there must
be radical reforms at home and at
Washington. We always put home
reform first, for the reason that a man
who is not doing his part properly is
not the man to complain about govern
mental affairs. However, while u
farmers as a class may not be perfect,
yet it is true that they are making
more of all the great cerals than they
can sell proftably. 1t is not overpro-
duction, but underconsumption. Hence
the farmers have done their part, while
the government has been a failure.
Laws must be passed and enforced to
prevent the rapid absorption of the
wealth of the nation, and the gambling
in farm products. Then enough money
should be put in circulation to do the
business of the country. AS to which
be done first, it is a debatable
question. We think it best to increase
the circulation first. In either case
one should follow the other Immediate
ly. If that is done all industries will
flourish, and many things not to be
remedied by legislation alone will
naturally adjust themselves. A ma
iority of the solons at Washington are
against such a sensible course, but it is
the only true one, and the people must
push ahead for the goal, regardless of
parties or men.

THE N OUTLOOK

"Times are getting better, confidence
is restored, banks are resuming, fac
tories are starting up, money is easier
and can be had at low rates." That is
what the goldbug papers say since they
won their victory in Congress and put
the administration in the deepest hole
any administration ever entered.
Well, it is true in part. The failures
are not SO numerous. A few broken
banks are resuming, and factories are
starting up. But many of them never
will start again until there is a radical
change in public affairs. The thousands
of merchants and farmers who have
failed are failures still so far as money
is concerned.
Who is responsible for the improved
state of affairs? It is not the party in
power nor the present Congress. They
have done nothing but destroy about
one half Of the money of this country,
not what is already in existence, but
have cut off the future supply. The
farmers haze restored confidence! Howe
They have made a bountiful supply of
wheat and it has been going to Europe
Tor two months aud has brought back

farmers OF the South have worked hard
and they are ready to market a good

o BADLY

The reports of correspondents of the
Weekly Weather Crop Bulletin, issued
by the North Carolina State Weather
Service, for the week ending Monday,
Sept. 4th, indicate serious damage to
nearly all crops. chiefly by the hurri-
cane of August 28th, and by the exces-
sive rains on that day and subsequent
". The past week has been unfavor-
able in almost every respect. The first
few days were somewhat above the
normal in temperature, but the latter
part quite cool, with low temperatures
during the night. There was e lit
tie sunshine until the last two DAYS.
The rain fall was very excessive on
August 28th, and again on the SOth
and 31st. The heavy rain caused
rivers to overflow, inundating low
lands, the effect of which still con.
tinues. The Roanoke at Weldon, Mon
day morning, Sept. 4th, was v feet
above the danger line. The only favor
able effect of the rain was to put land
in good condition for blowing and bring
up turnip seed.
It is difficult to estimate the damage

however, the injury is very consider

crimes. They are throwing a thin Gov
ering over everything until they can
hatch up some other excuse for future
panics, loss in values and low prices
for farm products. We put no more
confidence in them than we would in
so many unhung burglars.
But the outlook is better and may
become still more favorable in the near
future. Farm products will go on the
market rapidly and put some money in
circulation while the goldbugs T get
ting ready for another panic. We warn
our friends to be on the alert, for the
past proves that a great battle must
yet be fought between the people and
the p~lutocrats before permanent pros
perity is secured.

MORTGAGES IN MINNESOTA.

The number of mortgage debts in
Cured in 1880 amounted to SIS, 093, 076.
In 1889 the amount was $50, 781. 538,
During the ten years the population
increased sc. IA per cent. and the in
debtedness 296. 90 per cent. During
the ten years a total debt of 1898, 048,-
387 was incurred. The number OF
mortgages was 389, 81, 38, 81 per cent.
being on farms, and 61.03 per cent. on
town and city lots. The real estate
mortgage debt existing on the first of
January, 1890, was $197, 745, 989, 1897
per cent. of it being on farms and the
balance on city lots.
No cotton is raised in Minnesota. 1t
is one of the richest farming States in
the Union. The per capita debt of the
State is 1852, which is exceeded by but
one State-Kansas-with a per capita
debt of $40. However, Minnesota is
only a little ahead of New York, Mas
sachusetts, Pennsylvania, rich Eastern
States.
Alabama and South Carolina are
cotton States, and the population of
Alabama is but a little larger than that
of Minnesota. yet Minnesota is nearly
sic times as much in debt. The popu-
lation of South Carolina is a little less
than that of Minnesota, yet Minnesota
is, according to population, about
thirty s5Uen times as much in debt as
South Carolina.

WALL STREET BULLDoZERs.

The paid-for newspaper statements
to the effect that Wall street men are
dissatisfied with Mr.. Carlisle, will not
be accepted in this Office. In the first
place his appointment was satisfactory
to them, and if he does not treat them
right he will have to go.
We have another fresh bit of evi
dence as to methods adopted by Wall
street when a point is to be carried. A
few days ago E. D. Shepard & Co.,
bankers, New York, wrote as follows
to Mr.. I. II. Foust, ceshier Of the First
National Bank at Salisbury: 1.-THE
Senators from your country r not
looked upon as promoters of the gen
eral welfare. If their stand represents
the views of your people on financial
matters, it will be very difficult for
you to cecure any accommodation
from capitalists in this section until
there is a decided change"
Mr.. Foust forwarded the letter to
Senator Vance. Onlast Monday while
Senator Coke, of Texas, was speaking
against the repeal of the Sherman law,
he incidentally referred to the state
ment often made that London and New
York bankers control the finances in
America. Senator Vance asked per-
mission to interrupt Senator Coke, and
read the above in proof of what Mr..
Coke had just said. Let the balance
of America ignore New York and Lon
don capitalists. We must do that or
become their slaves.

able, probably in many counties from
10 to 90 per cent. or more. The to-
bacco crop suffered most seriously; the
leaves being bruised or cut badly. Corn
was blown down and fodder whipped
nto shreds. The greatest damage is
to the fodder, as the corn will come up
partially and ripen just as well. Cotton
suffered least from the wind, though
some bolls were blown off and cotton
blown out of open bolls. Excessive
rain caused some shedding. Serious
damage was done to fruit, which was
blown off trees, and in the Western
District even some trees were blown
down There was considerable dam
age also to lowland crops in the west
by flooding.

The smallest and most contemplate
slur that we have noticed in any of
the State papers for a long time ap'
peared in the Hickory Press and Caro-
Hniau in a notice of the marriage OF
Mr.. Marion Butler, when that paper
said: I'VE feel sorry for the gait
may work all right, but III doubts
are muItitudinous." 1t is too wretched
to notice, and we would never have
mentioned it except for the sole pur,
pose of showing the people how low
some of these british partisan editors
can stoop.
