The Hawaiian Mniorty Report.


The Republican members of the Foreign
Affairs Committee have finished the mi
norty repor, on the resolutions presented
by Chairman McCreary on the day Congress
adjourned as a substitute for the Hit reso-
luton. J, goes in detail into the whole
history of Mr.. Blounts appointment as
Commissioner Paramount and the course Of
the administration.
The preamble recites that IL has been dis
closed that the executive department has
been furnishing tn minister plenipoten-
tlary secret instructions TO conspire with
the rep esentatves and agents OF q deposed
and discarded monarchy for the overthrow
OF friendly Republican government. duly
recognized bv all the civilized nations 10
which said Minister was accredited. and To
which ms public Instructions pedged tile
good tsi,h and sympathy OF the president,
the government and the people Of the United
States.
The resolution is that such intervention
by the Executive is dangerous and un-
warranted invasion of the rights and disni-
ties Of the Congress of the UnitedStates and
violation of the law Of nations, and further
that the manner of such Intervention and
methods used are unworthy OF the Execu.
tive, while the confessed intent OF such in
tervention is contrary 10 the policy and
traditions of the republic aud the spirit Of
the Constitution.

A writer of California, wlo has
long been interested in the subject of
agriculture, confidently asserts that
the farm of the future will be the
forty-acre farm. This claim gains
Significance from the fact that il
originates in California, for there the
great land owners have held title t.
tracts that ran as high as 80, 900 to
100, 900 acres, and it was the pos.
session of one of these immense
stretches of territory that prompted
Hchry George to give his land-taS
theory to the world. This particular
tract is now being divided into small
farms 'to suit the purchaser and
the same plan IL being pursued il
many parts of the State. When it was
Spanish possession cattle raising
was the chief industry, and vast
ranges were looked rpon as necessary
to prosperous business. When
sheep-raising was gone into the
same idea prevailed, and even
when wheat-raising became popular
the wealth of the owners, improved
machinery and the ease with which
help was procured enabled the great
land owners to keep their farms in.

fruit raising came the cutting up of
these big estates, and the smaller hold.
ers have multiplied until the writer
referred TO feels justified in his pre-.
diction. Literal fulfllment can hard
ly be expected, however, in the opin-
ion of the Detroit Free Press, which
adds: Forty acres makes too large II
farm for the raising of market "truck"
and too small one for cattle raising.
As for general farming, much depends
upon the farmer and his surround.
ings. What man does for himself
he is disposed TO do well, and with a
view to making the most of his oppor-
tunities. There is always the danger
of loss through assistance that is en-
ployed, and this fact is factor in the
problem that cannot be overlooked.
On the other hand, the small farmer
cannot afford all the modern machin-
cry which facilitates his work. yet
must lie idle during greater portion
of the year. When this difficulty is
overcome by neighboring farmers hav-
ing community of interest in these
aids to their work, there will be a
nearer approach to fulfillment of the
predictions made by the California
orophet.
