Queer and racy are the tales told of the skill
of the Maine ship builders in the use of the adzs
and broad-ax. One old time yarn. repeated in

drunk, at q ship-yard for employment. In
order to have little fun with him. the fore
man set him to give proof of bis skill by
hewing out o wooden bolt with no choppipg-
block but stone. The carpenter accomplished
his difficult task without marring the keen
edge of the broad.ax, and showed the foreman
. neatly made bolt. Then he brought the Ak
down with Q terrific blow that shattered its
edge upon the stone. AZ can hsw fust-rate on

| waves to cross the continent from 4th TO 9Th,
and 10th to 14th the next will reach the Pa
cifc Coast about the 18th. cross the Western
mountains by close of the 10Th, the great Cen
| trail Valleys from 18th to 18th and the Eastern
| States about the Goth.
] This will be very dangerous and destrnc-
| tive storm along the 10th degree of north Iati-
tude in the great Central Valleys aud the 50th
degree in the far West and the extreme North
east parts of the United States. will not at
tempt TO further locate the dangerous parts of
the storm pat h, but will advise all WHO live in
the tornado districts to be on guard during the
passage OF this storm wave
Very hot weather will precede this disturb
ance and cool wave following it will cross the
Western mountains about the 18th, the great
Central Valleys about the Goth, and the Eastern
States about the 22d.
1t is quite difficult TO correctly forecast tor.
nadoes. and in this connection I will call at
tention to my forecasts of the tornadoes of
March 22. On March wrote the following.
which was published on the I1th:
This will be dangerous and destructive
storm and will develop tornadoes Ia the great
Central Valleys. The storm will probably
begin to increase in force soon after leaving the
Pacific Coast and will continue with great
energy till it has passed onto the Atlantic.
The center of its path will lie, and the tor
nadoes will probably occur south OF, the 40th
parallel"

4 NEW INDUSTRY.
Organization Of the Makaha
Coffee d Fruit Company.

Coffee d Fruft Company.
Mr.. James A Low, who has been
q resident Of these islands for some
years, is about to form a joint-stock
company for the purpose of cuIti-
waiting coffee and fruits. Mr.. Low
has devoted q great deal Of his
time to the study Of the culture of
the coffee berry, and after an ex-
tended visit to Hawaii, where he
made careful investigations, he re-
turned TO town to start his COM
pany.
He has secured 700 acres of land
on Z long lease, situated on the
upper portion of the Makaha Val
ley, in the Valance District, this
island. Mr. Low has issued an in
teresting prospectus of the new
company, copies Of which can be
had from him. Regarding the
company It says:
It IS proposed to incorporate the
company with capital stock OF $685.

The TRUTH IN A NUTSHELL

One Of the San Francisco papers
publishes brief paragraphs On the
Hawaiian situation which crowd 8
great deal Of sound common sense
into 4 very little space. Here is 3
sample;

ords Of the Senate more fully than

The friends Of annexation have
no fear Of any investigation into
the merits Of their case. They
wo1ld like, as : matter OF course,

hty. TO see the question settled, but
they recognize that their cause has
nothing to lose from full delibera-
ton. Impotence Is natural now.
but IN the future It VIII be Z
matter for satisfaction that the
treaty szs adopted after an
ample consideration By the
State Department. IN the
Senate and in the Press The latter
has already spoken with no uncer-
tain sound. and has given an over
whelming majority for annexation
It Is 10 exaggeration TO say that
the newspapers Of the United
States furnish as clear evidence Of
the state Of public sentiment as
does 4 general election Few cleo
tons bring 4 single issue before
the people, and the event is always
complicated BY personal prejudiees.
local considerations and many
other causes which contribute, each
in It's degree, to shaping the result.
The victory Of President Cleveland
last fall Is spoken Of as over
Ehelning- He got perhaps FIVE
out OF every nine votes cast.
If the feeling OF the American
people as to Hawaiian annexation
be guaged by the standard thus
furnished, 1t viii be strictly within
bounds to describe this sentiment
as s tidal wave The newspapers
which definitely oppose annexation
IN any shape are pitiful minority, |

ion Of these islands BY the United

A NEW ENTERPRISE.

A corporation Is about TO be or
gani1ed under the title Of the Ma
kaha Coffee and Fruit Company,
Nakaha Is the name Of valley IN
the Walanae mountains, in the so
| called Koua district Of Oahu. The
company has secured lease Of
! 100 acres ct the head Of this
valley. Of which two or three hun
/ drsd are suitsble for the cultivation
Of coffee. As well as for various
small fruits and vegetables The
elevation Of this land ranges from
1900 10 25QO feet, and it possesses
rich. arabic soil Of disinte-
grated a., now heavily covered
with shoots and trees, and
watered by an abundant rainfall.
Mr.. Won Nostitz, who viii be re-
membered here as coffee planter
from Guatemala, Is said 10 have
pronounced the climate, soil and
location as the most favorable which
he had ever seen.
The intention Of the company Is
not TO eonfne itself to the culture
Of coffee only, buttwenty acres viii
be set ont with s select variety Of
fruits and vegetables, such as are
now imported from California, and
also with two thousand navel OF
ange, lemon and citron trees
along the streams with which Ma
kaha and It's intersecting ravines
are watered.
The estimates are based upon 5
coffee crop from an area Of $50 |
acres, and they indicate 8 very |
handsome profit as soon as the
trees come into full bearing. The
appear to be very careful |
and moderate. The capital of the
company Is set st $4,000, or $50
shares Of 500 each, with the pri-
vilege Of increase to $4,000.
One Of the most pleasing features
Of this new enterprise is the fact
that It proposes, from the begin
ming. to interest the iaborer in the
profits Of the undertaking. The
prospectus states that 8 number of
-aborers have already agreed to
work for the new plantation on this
just IS sooR as it is
Mr.. Jas A. Low is the promoter
IF the new enterprise. He is per-
sonally acquainted with the Hilo,
Hamakua and Kona districts of
and has devoted several
7ears to the study of coffee culture.
We wish him and those who may
De associated with him the utmost
success in this undertaking, and
lope that It may prove the fore
'unner TO many enterprises Of q
similar nature. As soon as annex
Ltion Is an accomplished fact Mr..
Low viii find no trouble in getting
he stock subscribed, If it Is not al
AIKEN before.

THE OTHER SIDE OF THE
HAWAIIAN QUESTION.

1t is probably just as well that
I Paul Neumanu should present the
off side of the Hawaiian question,
even if he does it with some exag-
! gerations. If the Constitution
which the Queen had undertaken
I to proclaim had taken effect there
would have been no safety for the
lives aud property of white men in
the islands. The plan was to dis
franchise nearly all whites, except
those who had been granted citi-
Eenship by the Constitution of 81.
Other whites were TO be regarded as
aliens, having no rights except
such as were conceded to them by
natives under the counsels and
direction of the Queen. This revo-
luton was precipitated by her and
through the influence of her bad
advisers.
1t was the misfortune of Liliuo-
kalani's predecessor, Kalakaua, as
we'll as herself, that both had bad
advisers. A thoroughly reputable
Cabinet, one made of men COM
manding the confidence of the best
part of the community, was never
acceptable to Kalakaua, and it was
less so to the Queen. The latter is
not entitled to any sympathy. She
had devised plan to make the
residence of the very men who had
developed the wealth of the islands
intolerable. 1t became a question
of self-preservation. There is just
where the revolution began. If
Paul Neumann, and others of that
ilk, advised the Queen to the course
which she adopted, so much the
worse for them and for her.
One thing is certain-there is no
retracing the steps that have been
taken. There will never be another
native government of the Hawaiian |
Islands. The heir-expectant
has been well trained to speak her
piece. my people" and my |
throne" sound well enough, al
though a little STACEY. Neumann |
his spoken his piece without much |
dramatic effect. 1t was put on the
stage too late. If this is the best |
showing that can possibly be made
for the perpetuation of the old order
Of things at the islands, then it |
must be admitted that the case for
that side is hopeless.
The delay of a few days in rati- |
fying the treaty is not an untoward |
1t may be well that
every adverse consideration should
be fully weighed. Practically, Ha-
waii has already passed under the
Jurisdiction of the United States.
The flag of the Republic waves
over the islands. The point which
the Protestants attempt to make is
that this preliminary transfer has
been secured by q sort of snap
judgment; that conspiracy was
formed by q few whites to dethrone
the sovereign and to set up a new
That is a false posi-
ton which Neumann takes evil

There is very little of tragedy,
but there is great deal of comedy
in this protesting business. The
parties who move across the stage
must laugh cOnsumedly when they
get behind the wings. Neumann
must enjoy his own comedy, and
he more so if it is found that any
considerable number of persons are
disposed to take it seriously. But

The determination of our Chamber OF
Commerce to print as au appendix to Its
volume of annual reports the address of
Mr.. JOHN SHELTON WILLIAMS on the Credit
of the South " is wise movement and one
which conveys high compliment to that
popular young Richmond banker.
The address was delivered last summer
in Nashville upon the invitation OF tho
Board of Trade of that city. and at once
commanded attention as one OF the most
valuable papers Of the day relating to the
resources and prospects of the South. and
was encouraging to us i'll the highest de-
gree, SINCE it showed from unquestionaole
statistics that the South Is rapidly al
yancing in population and wealth. and is
CARRYING but a small debt in proportion to
her resources. This condition, generally
speaking, applies US well to States and mu-
inequalities as to industrial and CONNER
cial companies and private individuals.
