\ ranch manager on Hawaii
who had seen the Locked
Fence. reported TO the owners
of the property that If he was
allowed TO build his fence on
that principle. he could qua
rantee an increase of thirty
three and a third per cent. IN
fat cattle. After the owners
had investigated and found
out that it could be done, they
gave us an order for the wire
and necessary stays and wash
ers for building eight miles of
the fence. Durability. strength
and economy are the points
which caused the sale of three
miles Of the material to a gen
tleman on Kauai. You will
understand that we do not sell
the fence made up. We sup
ply the materials; wire, either
plain or barbed and either gal
vanized or black. This wire
we guarantee to be a superior
article and do so only after we
have passed it through the
severest test possible. The
stays are made OF spring steel,
galvanized, and are of a char
acter that will resist any
thing. The sensation of a bull
lock when he bumps against
this fence is on a par with the
man who gets up at night in a
dark room and steps on a rub |

The washers are crimped so DIS |
TO fit over the wire and stay |
and hold them together so I
that it is impossible for the |
wire to sag. The washers are
used wherever a stay joins the
lateral wire and you will need
for every stay as many wash
ers as you have wires. We
charge you for stays So per

MORE ASEET THE LABOR QUESTION

Mr.. Vivas is credited with the
opinion that as many Portuguese
can be obtained as the planters
need, if reasonable terms are Of
fered. By reasonable terms must
Of course be understood such as

enable the Iaborer to live with
comfort and the planter to make a
profit.
We cannot help entertaining q
serious doubt as to the feasibility
of obtaining any Portuguese on
ternGs which the plantations, IN
the present depressed condition Of
the sugar industry, can possibly
afford to pay. At the same time
the matter should be investigated,
and no stone left unturned to
secure them if possible. As it will
probably be necessary to secure
some lab0rers Immediately, it viii
not be possible to avoid issuing
some permits for Chinese. In the
meanwhile, efforts may be made to
obtain Portuguese, and if these
efforts prove successful, the Chinese
immigration can then be discon-
tinued.
The Advisory Council meets
this afternoon, and we hope that
the matter will be brought up
in that body without delay.
The Portuguese immigration has
furnished the most desirable labor
ing population which has ever
been brought into Hawaii. The
race is strong and able-bodied
one, and has given good satisfac-
ton on the plantations. It is in

younger generation grows up with |

citizens as Hawaii needs.

ANOTHER IMPROVEMENT.

In our advertising columns will
be seen an advertisement from the
agents of the National Cane Shred
der, isI which is published a. ~
teresting letter from Mr.. John A.
Scott, Manager of the Hilo Sugar
Company, who has recently intro
duced one of these shredding mills
into the machinery of that COM
pany. He speaks in the highest
terms of the efficiency of the shred
der, and states that it does all that
is claimed of it.
We understand that the main
advantage derived from the use
Of the shredder is that it prepares
the cane for the mill by varying
length, thereby securing greater
extraction, uniform feed, and less
force of men in attending the mill.
Mr.. Scott is a well-known and
successful manager, and we have
no doubt, therefore, that his report
on these machines will attract the
notice of all who are interested in
improvements IN sugar manufac-
ture

THE ERROR OF THE DIPLOMATS.

THERE is no doubt tina; the
diplomatists who ignored the, cele-
bration of Hawaii's greatest ma
tional holiday, and did not even
retrrn reply to the invitations
sent them, were guilty of a gross
breach of diplomatic propriety, as
well as a disregard of those forms
of courtesy which ordinarily OBJ
tain between gentlemen. At the
same time, it may be questioned
whether it would be wise or ex-
pedient for the Government to de-
mand their recall. The Government
should, however, protect its dignity
and self-respect at all events, and
if it appear that its rights have
been disregarded without any
bona fide extenuating circum-
stances, 1t should make
demand for reparation. The
excuse offered by the royalist Con.
sul-General, may or may not bear
the marks of veracity, but it is in
point of form an apology, if lame
and halt one. This incident does
not make Mr.. Mills any less ''pleas-
ing" a person in the diplomatic
sense than he was before-that
would hardly be pOssible,-and as
now terminated, the Government
would hardly demand his recall on
account of IL.

After the sudden and ridiculous
collapse of Mr.. Cleveland's greatest

one wronged queen, one colossal
sense of duty, and other unrivaled

nature of an anti-climax. The
only way in which Senator Nor
gan's com mittee can now make
sure of any lively public interest in
their investigation is by investi-
eating to find out, keeping on until
they have found out, and then sub
hitting full and absolutely truth

A REPRESENTATIVE COUNCIL.

Everyone who is interested in the
maintenance of good government
n tl1is country will naturally wish
the Advisory Council to be as rep
resentative As possible. It is not
only Just that the personnel Of the
Council should represent all classes,
but it is eminently expedient. The
government Of class is rarely
trusted, even when it is good. It is
not in human nature for men 70 be
altogether unmindful of their own
interests The vision OF the best of
men is colored by prejudice or by
partisanship. The capitalist sees
the world through one pair of eyes j;
the laborer looks through quite
another. These facts furnish the
plain basis for that necessary, but
very imperfect piece of mechanism
popular suffrage.
Isit true that in the makeup" of
the Advisory Council, these import
ant principles have been disregard
ed? The Star,we believe, claims that
eleven out of it's fourteen members
directly represent the sugar indus
try. Which are these eleven? It
would be difficult to say. Accord
ing to our own analysis of the
Councils personnel, four of its
members stand directly for sugar,
while three more, perhaps, or one
half in all. draw their main subsist-
ence from it. We do not think that
any OF the others can be regarded
in any proper sense as representa-
tives OF the leading interest Of the
That all the other members OF
the Advisory Council are affected
by the condition OF the sugar mar
ket, We firmly believe, and believe,
that the same thing Will |
be true of any ten men who may be
added to the Council. Who has
felt the depression OF the last two
years the most? Not the planters
nor their agents, but the tradesmen
ON both sides of Fort street, and
the mechanics who have been driv-
en- from the country.
The truth is that if we are to fill
the Advisory Council with gentle
men who are not interested in

argued that there We're c~onfederates

that he meant to purchase another

PORTLAND special: Chin Nov Sing,
better known among Americans AS
Frank Sing, a Chinese resident Of the
HighbindeS district. told Chief OF
Police Hunt q very singular story,
which the official is inclined to believe
- true. Several months ago, early
one Sunday morning, a.Chinese woman
was cowardly murdered by having
her throat cut on the sidewalk on
Second and Pine Streets. The detec-
tive force worked necessarily to put its
hands upon the assassin, but all to no
purpose. Frank Sing belongs to the
company of which the murdered
Chinese woman was a member, and he
says that the murderer was appre-
hended three weeks ago by his com
pany in the San Francisco. Mon
Chong. the assassin, had no personal
feeling against his victim, but killed
her for $500. Ono OF the members Of
Chong's company, cognizant OF the
crime, turned Judas, and for $500 paid
him by the rival company he betrayed
the murderer, who had fled to san
Francisco. His captors did not hand
him over to the regular authorities.
but he was tried by q Chinese Court,
which sentenced him to be immnred
between alright brick walls. where
he would slowly end his life by sutfo-
cation. Sing declares that such SEN
fences have often been executed on
this coast by the Chinese.
