John Wise is expected to return

middle of June.
Samuel Keliinoi and Charles

1t is expected that Mr.. Richards

hundred thousand correspondents
were employed in seventy-seven
thousand different towns and vii
lagos. The motive of be under
taking was to test business ratings.
The results show that the system
Of Bradstreet's has attained a high
degree of accuracy.
Of the 1852 failures for 1892,
SO per cent, or in. other words al
most the whole number, were of
firms having either very moderate
or no credit rating. Only seven
per cent. therefore of all failures
were of firms having good credit
rating. This shows clearly the
substantial reliability and hence the
practical value of the work done
by the Bradstreet Company.
The causes of failure are care
fully classified and the percentages
due to each ascertained. Lack of
capital appears to be the principal
cause, leading the list with 37.9
per cent. in go, 1872 in 81 and 3d. 5
in 1892. In Canada it plays a
still more important role, more
than half of all failures being set
down to this cause alone.
Fraudulent disposition of prop.
erty plays a considerable part in
bankruptcies, it having led to one
tenth of the failures in the United
States last year. The percentage
has jumped from 5.9in 1890 to 1913
in 1892, a singular fact for which
we know no explanation.
The work done by the Brad
street Company in the collection OF
commercial statistics is of great
value, and it will become more valu-
able still as it's methods of obtain
ing information become more full
and accurate. The success of this
agency is typical of what is to be
just as soon as the worlds news
purveyors come to a consciousness
of the immense saleable value of
facts. The idea of the collection
of authenticated facts bearing upon
all living relations, is to revolu-
tionize the newspaper. The best
journals of to-day, all over the
world, are conducted on the rule Of
thumb plan, or, in other words, on
no plan at all. This applies equally
to those splendid examples of hu-
man energy and enterprise, the
great metropolitan dailies of the
United States, and to the little
country weeklies.

Hawaii as a Pacific Outpost.

Opposite the very portals of
this commerce, and in its track, lie
these islands, keeping, as it were,
watch and ward over this entire
coast. Plant an active enemy
upon them, and even if he were
the most insignificant of the mari.
time powers, he would probably
annihilate this commerce. A power
with a feet consisting only of the
Florida and Alabama would, in
trenched in these maritime for
tresses, harass all profit out of it.
In the hands of England or France
the effect would be to enable either
of these powers to shut us out of
the great highway of the Pacific,
and lock us up, so far as commerce
is concerned, within our own noun
tain ranges"
Such was the language of the San
Francisco Chamber of Commerce,
when the reciprocity treaty with
Hawaii came under discussion
many years ago. The treaty was
struck, and from that day to this
both the commercial and the strate.
gic importance of Hawaii have
steadily increased. Its sugar pro
duct alone was tenfold as great in
1890 as in 1876. the year of the
treaty; and reciprosally our Pa
cific coast exports to Honolulu had
many times multiplied. Vastel
still had been the growth in the
military value of the archipelago
with the extension of railways
across the continent and the be-
ginning of the Isthmus CANALS
New York Sun.

SPEAKING OF SUGAR CANE.
The Waianae Plantation Makes
a Big Record.

DIX hCSOx0s
Sometime in February last
communication appeared in the
ADVERTISER relating to the pheno-
menal yield of field of cane
which had just been converted
into sugar. and which had pro-
duced an average of S.13 tons to
the acre. The writer rather i'm
piled that Eva held the belt as
champion cane-producer, and ex-
pressed desire to hear from other
plantations on the subject.
Your wish shall be gratifed,
neighbor. Waianae is in the game,
has sized up her hand, sees your
eight tons and goes you two tons
better, and that in the face of
about as hard a streak of luck as
ever confronted a cane planter.
From a single tract of 113 acres of
land, the w. S. Co. has just har-
vested, ground and sacked 1877
tons of strictly No. l sugar, an
average of 1906 tons to the acre,
actual yield, no estimating, no
leaving out of inferior patches, no
counting No. 2 or 3 sugar, or the
waste resulting from boiling down
and converting low grade sugars
into No. l.
The cane has been harvested
under the greatest difficulties, more
than one-half of the entire crop of
the field in question, having been
wholly or partially buried under
earth, rocks, brushwood, ETC., de-
posted there by the disastrous
food of January 22d last; necessi-
tating the use of spades, pickaxes
and tools of that ilk in removing
the cane from the debris which
covered it. Many tons of the cane
that had been cut previous to the
flood and piled by the railroad
track ready for hauling, were car
ried out to sea, and yet many other
tons remain under their covering
of debris. In view of these cold
facts we ask our Eva neighbors to
kindly pass over the belt to Waia-
nae, until they can raise their
average, above 1906 tons to the
| acre. SQUARE measure.

A MAMMOTH UNDERTAKING.

Four years ago the Bradstreet Co.
undertook the immense labor of in
vestigating into the causes of the
$4,000 business failures which have
taken place in the United States
and Canada during the past six
years. Some idea of the extent of
this undertaking may be obtained
from the fact that it involved tax
ing note of more than n million
and a half of individuals, while a

ARCH TREASON.

The royailsts are intriguing Tor
the return of the ex-Queen to Office
and the overthrow of the Provi-
sional Government. They have
organized political societies with
reasonable objects. They display
openly the badge of these organize
tions. They hold secret meetings
at private houses, and public meet
ings in public halls and squares.
They denounce the Government
and openly declare their allegiance
to a private person living at Wash
ington Square. They enjoy per-
feet impunity and make perfectly
impudent use of it.
The head of the reasonable ring
is Liliuokalani, the deposed Queen,
whom the leniency of the victors
has allowed to retire to a handsome
house, and there maintain rival
court, the expenses of which have
hitherto been betrayed by the legal
government of the country. 1t is
safe to say that as long as a leni-
ency SO extraordinary is continued
the rival Court will be maintained,
and Hawaii will witness the singu-
lar spectacle of a double govern
ment, both located in the same
city and both supported by the
same taxpayers, both claiming au-
thority and both receiving allegi-
ance.
Is it not time to ring down the
curtain upon this farce? It may
have been amusing, but the time
has come when it ceases to amuse.
We are no friend to unnecessary
harshness, but the law must be up.
held or else fall into contempt
The deposed sovereign is woman
and is entitled to the chivalrous
treatment due to the meanest O
her sex, but the sentiment of Chi
valry must not be permitted t.
override common sense. No on
who knows the Hawaiians car
doubt for an instant that the ex
Queen is responsible, directly
or indirectly, for all the at
tempts now making to breal
down the authority Of the Gov
eminent and to defeat its ends
The plots and conspiracies, tn
embassies and manifestoes, tn
leagues and libels and lies of tn,
royalists, are all at her door. On
word from her would stop them all
She will not speak it, because sh,
openly defes the Government, ant
because she is an avowed pretende
to the vanished throne of Hawaii
The situation presents histori
cal anomaly and would be tolerated
nowhere else in the world. It i
the duty of Liliuokalani to submit
as good citizen to the lawful gov
eminent of Hawaii. IF she canno
do so Hawaii is no place for her.
AS to the payment of any salar,
or allowance to her, or to Kaiulani
as long as either maintains the at
titude of a pretender, it is enough
to say that the very idea is prepos
ferrous. 1t is an insult to the cit
zen, a misrepresentation of publ
funds and a fraud upon the tax
payer.
