SLOWLY the Washington admin
istration is allowing the evidence
collected by Mr.. Blount to be
made public. a great portion of
it, however, still remains unpub-
ished. 1t was stated at the time
it left Honolulu for Washington,
that it covered over six hundred
pages of closely-written typewriter
text-sufficient to make an octave
volume of six or seven hundred
pages. No document of this ex-
tent has been referred to as having
been printed. Blount's report, as
published, was said to have been
twenty-eight pages. This was
probably a synopsis of or selec-
tions from the larger volume of
evidence taken by him while in
Honolulu. There has evidently
been a suppression or holding back
of large portion of the statements
taken by him, every page of which
should be made public.

PROTECTORATE EXISTS.

1t is absurd to talk about restor-
ing the independence of the Ha-
waiian Islands. That is past res
toration. Civilization has abol-
ished it, as surely though less
cruelty than it abolished the an
Gent independence of Mexico and
Peru. When two races meet, In a
country where il is worth while for
the stronger to live, the separate
social life of the weaker disappears,
by operation of a law of nature,
whose harshness humanity can
mitigate, but whose execution
nothing can avert.
This is what has happened in
Hawaii. The independence of the
islands has been fading away for
century, with the vigor of the ma
tive race. Fifty years ago it was
moribund. All that kept it alive
was the mutual jealousy of Euro
pean powers and doubt as to
which would succeed to ownership
of the islands. This doubt gradu-
ally settled itself by the logic of
history and geography, in the Uni
ted States. England and France,
moved by mutual jealousy, waived
their claims and sought compensa-
ton elsewhere in the Pacific. With
the reciprocity treaty of twenty
years ago, American interests took
root in the islands and have grown
slowly to dominance, as native
vigor and independence slowly
sunk to complete death. The ma
tive government grew to be more
and more a shadow, whose dura-
ton was measured by the capacity
of the industry and wealth and
enterprise of the islands to bear
patiently the burden of its ignor-
ance, sloth and corruption. Their
patience having become exhausted,
the shadow came to aG. end. 1t
cannot be restored, because native
government no longer exists, even
las fiction.
The United States is in full con-
troll of the islands now. 1t is hard
to say how long this control has
existed, the transition has been so
gradual but it is now complete.
1t must stand, unless we are will
ing to turn them over to some other
power. Nobody proposes this. but
there is great unwillingness to ac-
cept the logical conclusion of the
refusal. We may repudiate an
nexation and disavow a protector
ate; but the protectorate exists
since we forbid other powers to take
the islands. Whatever form OF
government exists there must be
established and supported by US.
The only question to consider is
what that form shall be.
The Harrison administration
thought it should be republican in
form, representing the intelligence,
capacity, business and property OF
the Islands. The Cleveland ad-
ministration thinks it should be
monarchical in form, represent
ing the ignorance, sloth, corruption,
disease and RIGHTEOUSNESS of the
remnant Of a native population.
This is the only question to decide.
Full annexation, as Texas was an
nexed, is out of the question. A
protectorate exists already. Mr..
Cleveland wishes to govern, under
this protectorate, through mon
grel monarchy. 1t is probable that
the American people will decide to
govern through the white people of
the Islands. These people will
hasten that decision by holding on
to the power they now have, sacri-
ficing their lives, if needful, in its
defense.-Portland Oregonian.

LILIUOKALANI's SELF-INDlCTMENT

While waiting to hear the Presi-
dents message about Hawaii, and
the reception of it by Congress, we
are favored with another document
wherewith to occupy our minds.
It is the fallen queens own state
ment to Mr.. Blount, as published In
the fourth instalment of his report.
She therein so BADLY incriminates
herself. that the great wonder is
how, after getting it, the Commits
sioner could see any occasion for
further inquiry into the rights and
wrongs of the revolution.
This unhappy woman has re-
hearsed her own actions with a
curious qaairete and seeming uncon-
seriousness of the colossal Grimm
ality of her deeds. She apparently
had no clear idea that she was her
self creating a revolution by radi-
cally altering the form of govern
ment. She seems to be conscious
of no culpability except perhaps a
very venial imprudence and pre-
cipitation. The truth is, that Lii
uokalani is through and through
essentially a Polynesian heather,
with a snowy veneer of civiliz-
alton. Her child life, while
highly favored by civilizing and en-
tightening influences, was from in
fancy greatly exposed to the pene-

December II, 1898.
Last week we published a
testimonial from Mr.. NOal,
regarding the practical work
ing of the Aermotor and it
brought US good fruit. Our
Hendry Breaking Plow has
been so we'll advertised during
the past year that it seems
unnecessary to devote much
space to keep it before the
public; the plow sells itself.
But when such a recommen-
dation as the following, from
a man as we'll known as Mr..
Halstead of Waialua, comes to
US, we feel that we can move
our peg up four notches in
giving it publicity. Mr.
Halstead says, under date of
November 80. 1898:
"The Hendry Breaker Plow
which we purchased from you,
has given entire satisfaction
up to date. 1t has been in
constant use now for nearly
six weeks and has seen pretty
rough use. The field in which
we are blowing having heavy
manienie sod and being very
rocky, it has had a good test
as to strength and works won
derfully easy considering the
size of the plGw. cutting a
clean smooth furrow and lay
Jig the sod we'll over. | can
recommend your pillow as being
fully as good if not better than
other breakers we have ever
had in USE"
If this was the only letter of
this character we had received,
we might not feel the pride In
our successful efforts to give
the public the best pillow in the
world, but we have a score OF
them. Mr.. Halstead has had
a long experience in plows
and has tried many different
makes; if there are managers
who have not tried a Hendry
Breaker, perhaps the letter
printed above will induce him
to purchase one and save both
time and horse flesh. We have
them to cut II, IA and 16
inches, and no matter what
size you use it will require
from two to four horses OF
mules less than it requires in
using any other make of break
er. If economy in your horses,
mules or oxen is to be consid-
ed this is a good way to do it.

Egg Plant Culture.

The first qualification necessary to the
successful growth of this peculiar vege-
table is liberality in the grower. He
must not be what is called "near
man."
He must give his plants plenty of good
soil, space, water and fertilizer. Low,
rich muck land, planted four feet each
way. will furnish him the first three
requisites, and ton to the acre of any
real frst-class commercial fertilizer will
bring good results.
The plant may be called an omnivo-
rous feeder, and will assimilate large
quantities of the best plant foods,
especially those rich in potash and nj
trogen, such as ashes, salt, muck and
stable manure.
Buy plenty of the best seed, New York
seed beds veritable hot bed, always
plenty of water and (nota bene) plenty
prepare and plant your first seed bed, in
sects put in an appearance dust with
Paris green one part, to -four sixty parts;
keep free from weeds without stirring
the soil too much. In few weeks start
a second bed in the same manner, and
third is sometimes worth having.
When they are three inches high,
plant in the field. In removing them
from the seed bed take unusual care.
Do not jerk them out as if you were
pulling weeds, but loosen the soil and
preserve all the fibrous feeders. Plant
carefully in the hill, in which the fertiii-
yer has been thoroughly mixed at least
one week, and then tend with hand or
wheel hoe.
In picking invariably use gloves and
handle as though they were eggs in
deed. Pack the crates as solidly as you
can, without exerting updue pressure,

In the following Mr.. Pabor's candor
appears to disadvantage:
eve would like to know where Mr..
White gets his authority for stating that
we are raising pineapples without pro-
lection, when oranges are hardly safe
from FROST"
But Mr.. White never made any such
statement for the pineapple 1--WE are rails
ing" is only paper pineapple. Here is
what | wrote. | quote from the AGRI-
cULTURIsT OF November 3Oth, page 1853:
'Itis the same oldstory, below their
llne.' Every new conner in South Florida
is below the frost line or claims to be.
II this claim is made for his own amuse-
ment it is a very innocent amusement,
but when it is made to induce people to
buy his land, making them believe they
can raise pineapples without protection
where oranges are hardly safe from frost,
is another thing"
Not one word there about 1--WE are rails
ing pineapples," and leave the reader
to form his own estimate of both the
candor and honesty OF such perversion
of another's words.
He further says: owe have here this
very local water protection OF which Mr..
White writes" This is affirmed as a we'll
established fact in .egard to Avon Park,
when nearly the whole of it is an untried
region. Such fact can be established
only by actual trial for several years.
Mr.. r. Ell. Burr thinks "Mr. Jas. FL.
White does injustice to the Lake Re
gion of South Florida" But DR.. f. w.
Inman, of Winter Haven, whom Mr..
Burr mentions, evidently thinks differ
emily, for he says in the Weekly Times
Union of December Sth. II like the
manner in which j. H. White treats the
subject (frost PROOF in your issue of
November 25th, for by the past we
should in measure judge the future"
Mr.. Burr evidently has no pepper in
his nose" and the tone of his article is
manly and just. And yet he thinks
that I'll MIR. WhlCe nad Deen DetCer
posted he would not have made the
mistake of Judging the thermal record
of Fort Meade against Avon Park" It
was not quoted against Avon Park but
as giving some light upon the thermal
condition of that ''inland region" II
Mr.. Burr, and other correspondents, of
both the AGRICULTURIsT and Times
Union were better posted as to what
places have any thermal record they
would not wonder why Fort Meade was
quoted. 1t is the only record anywhere
near Avon Park. 1t seems that the To-
cation of the fort and that of the town
are not the same. The Army Register
speaks of the fort as being OIL an Gle
waited sand ridge, higher than any adj

Water Protection and Pabor Lake
Pineapple.

Your Pabor Lake correspondent in the
AGRICULTURIsT of December 18th is very
modest, and says: "As a new conner, we
do not profess to know much about eli
matte conditions in Florida" Now that
is all right. Sensible people talk modestly
about matters of which they have no
knowledge. But be is not so modest
when he says, N the Colorado Graphic,
The rare, tropical fruits, such as the
guava, mango, sapodilla, tamarind,
sugar-apple, as we'll as the pineapple and
banana-fruits Of the far South-can be
successfully grown. These val
liable tropical fruits are grown in the
open air without protection, and the
profits upon them are very large" 1t is
we'll known fact that all that region is
liable to frost. except where they have To-
cal water protection, and the new conner
has no means of knowing where these
protected places are except by trial. Even
an old settler would be liable to make a
mistake in that matter.
OF Mr.. II. G. Burnet he says: Gle has
sought and feels that he has found in this
lake protected region location eminently
adapted to tropical fruits" Mr.. Burnett
is not the first one who has had that feel
ing. Many another one has felt just that
way before, but when the blizzard came
and their tropical pets were all dead they
felt differently. But feeling is no guide in
such matters. A grain OF common sense
is better than an ocean OF feeling, and ex-
perience is better than either. Probably
Mr.. B. has had sufficient experience to en-
able him to select protected spot for
his nursery. Without doubt there are
such protected places there, but to say
that the whole township OF Avon Park is
so protected is more than any man can
know until it is all brought under Guilt
walton. And it does not SAVIOR of either
sound or honorable business methods to
work the tropical racket so heavily upon
untried localities.
Mr.. PaDOr says: Frost, we fancy, Is
more matter of altitude than latitude"
This certainly is fancy rather than
fact. Other things being equal, latitude
counts every time in thermal variation,
but not so with altitude. Frosts in Flor
ida result from two very different causes.
In still night, when the earth parts
with it's heat by radiation and the tenn
perature at ony point falls to 800, frost
is the result. At such time low places
suffer first and most. But when the biz
zard comes, with ice in it's breath, the ell
evated places are most exposed and SUI
fer most. Latitude is constant factor
while altitude is an inconstant one.

Jacksonville. Fla.

We are now ready to give few
thoughts to the general subject Ct 'Wat-
er Protection" which is both general
and local. In a general sense South
Florida has water protection. Were it
not for the friendly waters OF the Gulf of
Mexico South Florida would have the
cold of Southern Texas which is about
that of Mobile, Pensacola and Savannah.
At Brownsville, Texas, in December 49,
80 and also in January 1881 the temper
allure fell to. Is while at Punta Rassa,
Florida 390 and 45o were the lowest for
these months. This is general water
protection and all of South Florida feels
its benign influence.
Local water protection does not mean
nearness to water as some seem to sup
pose, but water on the cold side
or on the side from whence the
billiards come. Then if the waters
are sufficiently large and deep they give
protection from cold It must be of suf-
fcient bulk to store up a large amount
of summer heat for winter use, giving
it off only when the air is colder than
itself. In this way the cold in passing
over it's surface is so warmed that there
is no ice in its touch. That there are
such protected spots is great blessing
to the State. I wish there were more of
them, for it means wealth to the State
and prosperity to the people.
This East Coast, has a second general
water protection as soon as the wind
veers to the north. Besides the general
protection of the Gulf of Mexico we.have
the protection of the Atlantic on the
North. Before reaching us a north wind
has for hundred miles been subject to
the warming influence of the ocean.
The lands on the East side of the Hal
flax and Indian River have local water
protection also. While this as we'll as
altitude is an inconstant factor in eli
matology it is often very potent one
sometimes counting more for protection
than 100 miles ofIlatitude. Here at our Is
land ALONE, the Indian River is one
and one fourth miles wide and OH our
cold. side. Jupiter is 100 miles south of
us having the'river' on lis warm side.

ing standard instruments of the best
