Facts Abont Hawaii.

Imagine an ocean waste about as
vast in expanse as the whole cont
nent of North America. Within this
area, north of the equator and be.
| tween America and Adia, the Ha-
waiian group of eight inhabited
islands is the only land. They are
directly in the track of vessels sail
ing from our western ports. They
are the natural rendezvous for coal
and supplies of the trading vessels
of three continents-America Asia
and Australia. Besides the harbor
at Honolulu, ten miles away is
Pearl Harbor, fortified United
States naval station, which by the
removal of a coral reef could be
made one of the most spacious har-
bors in the world. The entrance to
this harbor is such that the trade
winds would facilitate the entrance
and departure of ships under sail.
As station for submarine tele-
graphs to connect the Eastern and
Western hemispheres, and as a re-
lay port for Atlantic commerce
upon the completion of the Nicra-
raguan canal, these islands have
long claimed special attention. All
travellers agree that the sun shines
upon no more lovely land and in
every point of climate and fertility
of production Hawaii deserves the
name of "The Paradise of the Pa
cific."
To this inticing picture there are
but few shadows. The existence of
leprosy is one. Whether this most
dreadful of all diseases be of eli
matte or racial origin science has
not yet determined and it does
not claim to have found remedy
isolation being almost the only
treatment. With rare exceptions,
persons of northern birth and line
age do not become afflicted with it.
Another drawback is the large
of Chinese-14, $50 out of
total population of 10000. But
this objection partakes of politi-
cal character, and may. therefore,
be left to the consideration of our
statesmen at Washington.-Ex.

Our royalist friends are veritable
Bourbons. VIII they never learn
that telling political fibs does not
pay? Before each outgoing steamer
the usual false statement is set
afoat, either about annexation or
the Provisional government, or
both; and as soon as the incoming
steamer touches the wharf the
counter-lie, said to be straight
tip" from Washington, is bantered
about. Wednesday the royalist fib
said the Washington government
had refused to recognize Minister
Thurston! The public will not be
surprised if the ex-queen's follow
ers should some day start the ru-
NOR that royalists have begun tel

royalist camp.

There is not doubt that any
lack of detail in the financial
statement in question would have
been most willingly supplied by
Minister Damon, had the news
paper interested taken the trouble
to ask for it. This, however, was
not what was wanted, as it would
have exploded the royalist argu-
ment before it was written. The
half-white brother scribblers of the
royalist beneficiary took up the
tune and sang a false note higher.
1t was alleged that the government
has been unable to sell any of its
bonds, and this allegation has been
repeated almost daily since. The
falsity of the assertion was so pal
pable that it remains a mystery
why even a royalist would make so
stupid a charge. The implication
that the newspapers in question do
not wish to learn or state the facts
grows stronger as the cause they
represent becomes daily weaker in
its conflict with ultimate fate.

The news from the United States
by Wednesdays steamer was not of
an exciting nature. On the Ha-
waiian question there was next to
nothing received. In fact about all
the news touching our affairs came
through the correspondents, some
of whom sent dispatches to their
papers which contained information
not generally known here. The
government received no official dis
patches of any importance, and if
any other information came, it was
probably to the American minister,
and of a private nature. As the
steamer due from British Column
bia next week will not likely bring
newspaper files or official dis
patches, it will probably be two
weeks before another steamer ar
rives, and we will not likely receive
anything definite before that time,
unless stray sailing vessel should
arrive Unexpectedly.

CHINESE RESTRICTION.
The authorities viii Take Steps
TO Enforce the Law.

/ In the future the Chinese bureau
and the collector-general will en-
force more strictly than heretofore
the law providing for the entrance
of Chinese merchants and travellers
under six-months bonds.
Thereafter, such will not be per-
mitted to leave the ship upon
which they arrive, even to go into
quarantine, unless assurities on the
bonds fled in the foreign office are
present and identify the principals
and the bonds are executed. A
clerk from the Chinese bureau will
be present with the collector
general upon the arrival of any
vessel having Chinese ON board.
The law will be very strictly APP
piled to those who, under the old
law of 1887 and its amendments,
obtained permits for minors to en-
ter the country. In future the
secretary of the Chinese bureau will
endeavor to investigate the charac-
ter of the person leaving the
country on the return permit, and
every effort win be made by the
customs authorities to ascertain
that the man holding it is the same
as the one who made the applica-
ton for the return permit to the
Chinese bureau.

CUR FRI EDS, rEa ENEMY.

When the minister Of finance is
sued his financial statementa week
ago the leading royalist newspaper
declared, somewhat unjustly and
ungratefuIly, we thought, that
''there is not a CLEAN of intelli-
gence" in it. Minister Damon's
statement, even for that first week
after he began his official duties,
was such an improvement over any,
thing ever offered under the mon
archy that modesty should have
sealed the lips of the royalist bene-
ficiary. Of late, however, the pub
lie has ceased to expect either the
truthful or polite to issue out of the
royalist camp.

Fortunately for the real welfare
of Hawaii, the monarchy and its
friends did nothing. of the kind.
The course they did pursue would
not have allowed them to have pre-
sen ted detailed financial state
ments like those they are now
pettishly criticising. Had they
published true weekly statements
of their financial transactions dur
ing the last two years of their Off
cial existence, the whole monarch
zeal fabric would have collapsed
long before it did. Thanks to
the ex-queen and her royalist
advisers, her last insane official
act made the publication of the
creditable financial statements of
Ministers Porter and Damon
possible. If our royalist friends
have a turn for financial investiga-
tons, as they allege, they will find
ample exercise in digging up some
of the financial records of the late
monarchy.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1893-06-20

The facts are that since the gov
eminent authorized the sale of
bonds to the amount of $250,O0O, a
short time since, no less than
$4,000 worth have been disposed
of; and if the royalist beneficiary
will cast its eyes over the weekly
financial statement published Tues
day afternoon in its own col
umns, it will see that $25, 800 worth
of these bonds were sold during
the past week. To those who are
capable of forming a judgment on
what q governments financial
statements should be, it is quite
evident that Minister Damon is
ably supplementing the excellent
work of ex-Minister Porter. Had
the monarchy selected such men
for the finance department during
the last two years Of its existence,
and backed them with wise and
recognizing executive, it might
have retained sufficient public con-
fidence to have prolonged its gaudy
but useless existence yet a little
longer.

IT PAYS TO HAVE A TOOL SHED.

Every farmer ought to have shed
in which to store machinery over win
ter, but not every farmer has one, and
often we see the plow and harrow, the
wagon and the mower, exposed to the
weather all through the winter. If
farmers could only be made to under
stand that the neglect of machinery is
more destructive so it than all the use
they give it, it really seems as if they
would build shelter for it as soon as
possible. A cheap shed can be built
in day, and any farmer who knows
how to use saw and hammer can
build one. The knowledge that tools
can be found when wanted to use, is
worth more in year than the cost of
the shed, leaving out all other consid-
erations. A good share of the profits
of the ordinary farm is wasted in max
ing good the loss which comes to ma
chinery from gross neglect in taking
care of it, and this can be cut down
in a surprising degree with little ex-
pense and labor. If you have no store
house, provide shed for your farm
machinery before winter sets in, and
when you have built the shed, see that
all the machines are put under it at
once, and make an inventory of all
the tools in it.-American Agricultu-
rist.

BREEDING YOUNG s6ws.

It is undoubtedly true that fully
grown sows are the best breeders.
These will produce large Gtters OF
thrifty, long-bodied and growing pigs.
Young sows have fewer pigs in litter
and cannot give them SO good frame
to put fat and growth upon. Yet un-
less sows are bred young the tendency
to make fat rather than milk will be-
come so established that it cannot be
reversed. The difficulty may be got
over by breeding sows young, taking
their pigs from them when six weeks
old, and fattening the first litter early
without breeding from them. If a diet
of milk and wheat middlings is fed to
young breeding sows they will grow
very rapidly and will not fatten. This
diet also is excellent for producing
thrifty pigs, no matter what may be
the age of the dam. While bearing
their young, sows become very yora-
cious eaters, and their digestive organs
are strengthened by unusual demands
upon them. It is this that makes sows
fatten so easily if rich, fattening foods
ere given them. When not bearing
young, milk and wheat middlings are
too nutritious food. A diet of clover
in summer and of beetroots, with very
little milk and wheat middlings, Is
much better. Boston CultiYator.

CARBoNATED XLKALtEs.

Among the important purposes which
the fixed alkslies soda and potash)
serve in reference to vegetation, they
dissolve vegetable matter and carry it
into the roots-that it may form solu-
bio silicates, and thus supply the
necessary siliceous matter to the stems
OF the grasses and other plants-and
that rising, as it naturally does, to the
surface of the soil, it there, in the
presence of vegetable matter, pro-
yokes the formation of nitrates, 80
wholesome to vegetable life.
Soda and potash, in the form of car
Donates, act benefcially upon vegeta-
tion by preparing the organic matter
of the soil for entering into the roots
of plants, and thus administering to
their growth.
This preparation may be effected
either by their combination directly
with the organic matter, as they are
known to do with the humic and other
acids which exist in the soil, or by
their disposal of this organic matter,
at the expense of air and moisture, to
form new chemical compounds, which
shall be capable of entering into the
vegetable circulation.
This disposing influence of the aka
lies, and even of lime, is familiar to
chemists under many other circum-
stances. This mode of action of the
carbonGtes of soda and polish can be
exercised in its fullest extent only when
vegetable matter abounds in the soil.
