ADMIRAL WALKER.

The latest reports from WASH
ington state that Admiral Walker
has given the Navy Department
full information regarding the poll
teal situation here, and also re-
garding the best methods of i'm
proving Pearl Harbor. The visit
of the Admiral in these islands
will not be thoroughly understood
or appreciated for some time to
come. While he carefully kept
out of all political discussions, and
met the members of both political
parties with the same cordiality. it
was evident to any one who chose
to study his character, that he had
the uncommon power of seeing
things just as they are, and also
the power of sitting out the truth
when the air was full of rumors.
AS he has had for many years the
confidence of the changing Admin
istrations of the American Govern
ment, it was, perhaps, unfortunate
that he was not sent out in the
first instance to make the prelim-
mary report which Mr.. Blount
made. 1t would have been true.
1t is only fair to say more; if Mr..
Willis had made that report with
his present understanding of the
situation, it would have been
equally satisfactory. These men
are our friends now, because, in
the evolution of human affairs, all
things work together for good. Of
the many able ambassadors which
we have in Washington, unbought,
unsalaried, and faithful to the end,
Admiral Walker is one, and we shall
not forget it. Even the threats of
the kahunas did not disturb him
while he was here.

THE International Schuetzen
Club filed a petition yesterday
with the Advisory Council, oppos-
ing the granting of any franchise
for the construction of an electric
road in this city. The petitioners
designate themselves residents
and capitalists of the community
aggregating seventy-three names"
It is alleged that corporations do
not usually act in good faith, and
it is suggested that the road be
built first and the charter be grant
ed afterwards. The persons inter
ested in building the electric road
have repeatedly stated that if any
local capitalists are willing to make
the heavy investments required for
the road, they should have the
franchise. The ADVERTISER, there
fore. recommends these Presidents
and capitalists, numbering seventy
three" to invest 100000 at once
in the undertaking. 1t will be a
good way of keeping foreign money
out of the country, and prevent the
laboring men from being swamped
by too much cash. Moreover, the
expenditure of $150,0O0 for labor
alone, in building the road here,
can then be made by these "resi-
dents and capitalists" who now
have it locked up in the vaults of
the International Schuetzen Club.
Let the Club organize for railroad
building at once.

ANNEXATION.

The people of the United States,
on the annexation question, may be
divided into the following classes {:
A considerably large number of
men in Congress, but not, at pres
ent a majority; the Army and
Navy Departments of the Govern
ment, and some very influential
newspapers, believe in the immedi-
ate annexation Of the Islands.
Another class is made up of men,
in and out of Congress, and of
newspaper men, who have not
reached any conclusion on the sub
ject, but are willing to listen to
reason. These men and papers
are not "wild" about it, and are
rather conservative in their ways
of dealing with any subject.
Another class, and by far the
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1894-09-21

largest, is made up of people who are
Indifferent about it, az it does not
personally concern them. They
take no more interest in it than the
people of Hawaii take in the vital
matter of removing snags from the
Mississippi River.
This large class takes no interest
in foreign affairs, unless some
scrimmage is on hand. 1t likes to
hear about Captain Robert Evans,
of the Baltimore" punching the
heads of the Chileans, while, at
the same time, it takes no interest
in the merits of the Chilean revolu-
ton.
Another class of very able men
oppose annexation, on the ground
that the people of the States are
now in bad way, because there
has been indescriminate lmmlgra-
ton, and it is dangerous to tackle
new problems. Besides, the expert
ence of the people, during the last
few years, with negro suffrage, has
alarmed them, and they will bitter
ly contest any movement toward
the annexation of countries having
a mixed and ignorant population.
There is, also, another class, and
in it are some of the best friends of
the revolutionary movement, that
urges us to go slowly; to "prove
the Republic before asking for an
nexation. There is, therefore, no
unanimity of sentiment, on the
question of annexation, but the
educational process is steadily
going on.
If the policy of annexation were
live issue in American politics,
the educational process would move
rapidly, for the politicians would
put a band of music before it, and
train with it through the streets.
But nc question which deals with
the future takes hold of mass of
people. Communities deal only
with matters in sight; at the same
time, the masses often let matters
go by default. A few determined
men will often push measures
through, while the masses stand
aloof, and simply wink and blink,
and do not oppose. These men
will, some day, bring about annex
alton Other phases of this subject
we shall discuss hereafter.

the time it usually ends the
result will be marvelously
beneficial to the sugar plant
ers. Last year in Hamakua
there was but six inches of
rain in six months; this year it
starts in a little better. The
ground has been dampened
and the prospects a few days
ago we're favorable. If there
is one section of the country
that needs rain Hamakua is
The one. There are some fine
plantations in the district and
in the days when the condit-
ions were favorable and the
rainfall all that could be de-
sired they paid their owners
handsomely. Nowadays the
rain comes from the North
east, salutes the landsman
and then goes on to Hilo.
Forests are known to at
tract the rain clouds and
Hamakua was once blessed
with an abundance of trees.
A few years ago the people
began cutting down the limb
er and before they we're stop
ped there was scarcely enough
left to supply lumber for a
cabin. The suffering through
this falls not alone upon the
plantation: the residents in
the villages must go with a
short supply for toilet pur-
poses and their clothing has
to be sent to Honolulu to be
laundried. We remember
that less than a year ago the
fortunate owner of a we'll was
dispensing the water at five
cents a gallon.
Honokaa is a nice little
place and the residents are
progressive enough to be
up with the times; they want
water but they have not yet
hit upon a plan for getting it.
We have canvassed the situa-
ton quite thoroughly and
know that the water from the
spring at the gulch near the
landing can be forced to the
village by simply using a SER
les of AermOtOrs. These would
not only pump as great a sup
ply as q steam engine but it
would do it at a very little
cost either for the plant in the
beginning or in maintaining it
afterward. The Aermotor con-
sumes no fuel, just a little free
air and the water flows like
water. The 16 foot Aermotor,
either pumping or geared is in
use in several public and pri-
vate institutions, as we'll as on
plantations and it has always
given satisfaction. The only
power used by the Water
Works Co., of Waimea, Kauai,
is a 16 foot Aermotor. The
promoters of the scheme
have no trouble in collecting
their water rates because they
give the consumers an abund-
ance of water. There are
plenty of villages on the ISL
ands that could be supplied in
the same way and as long as
the we'll or stream lasted there
would be no danger of RUM
ing short. We don't get the
statements we make regard
ing the wonderful possibilities
of the Aermotor from our i'm
agination; we have demonstra-
ted in many different places
that the galvanized Steel
Aermotor will do all that is
advertised for it and more
than can be done by any
wooden mill of larger diamet-
er. The Steel Aermotor has
other advantages over wood
en- mills; being lighter it will
run in less wind; being con-
structed of galvanized steel it
will not rot away and cause
the bolts to drop out. The
Aermotor is galvanized after

When folks drink more Hires
Rootbeer than all other rootbeers
combined, there must be something
in Hires, and there is-delicious
flavor and public confidence.
Undoubtedly the reason of the
popularity of Hires Rootbeer is, be-
cause it surpasses all other prepare
tons for making a delightful home
beverage. It is very easily prepared,
and if the plain directions are fol-
lowed, it will always be good.

MORE POTASH NEEDED,

amounts of potash from the sell, aid
these crops occupy a large propol
ton Of our improved lands.
2. The urine OF our domestic ami
mails contains about four-ffths Of the
total potash Of their excyements.
3, When urine is allowed to waste,
the manure is poor in potash.
4. When manures are exposed tc
rains, much of the potash, being solu,
bic, is washed away. .a
5. Nearly all the special fertilizers
are especially rich in pbosphorlc

6. Superphosphates were the first
fertilizers to come into general use
among our farmers.
I. When the farmer buys fe1tili-
ger, he still, nine times out Of ten,
calls for phosphate.
s. As a result Of the above condi-
tons, our soil seems to be quite gel
orally in need Of more liberal anDli-
cations Of potash.
9. In the case Of corn the need of
potash appears to be particularly
prominent.
10. For a good crop OF corn the
fertilizer used should supply 100 TO
l25 pounds Of actual potash per acre:
200 to $50 pounds Of muriate Of pot

ashes will do this.
Ii With ordinary farm or stable
manure it will generally pay to use
some potash for corn; l25 to $50
pounds Of muriate Of potash has
given profitable results.
Il, The liberal Use of potash means
more clover in our fields. more nitro
gen taken from the stir. more milk in
the pail, a richer manure heap, and
store houses and barnes full to over
flowing. 1t means also sod which
when turned will help every other
crop.

to the muriate of potash, promoting
