A USEFUL ROOT.

The canaigre " is a plant which
grows in the deserts of Mexico,
Arizona and New Mexico, and pro-
duces more tannin material than
any other plant. Recent examina-
tons made in Germany show that
it has great value, and may sup
plant gambler. 1t will, undoubtedly
grow On much land in these ISL
ands, where there is not, and can
not be, irrigation.
The root is now being collected
on a large scale in Arizona, where
it grows wild, and prepared for
market. An extract is made of the
tannin material.

NO LONGER IN ACCORD.

The New York Evening Post is
thoroughly dissatisfied with the
Democratic party. Its views on
variety of topics have been ignored,
and this is the result:
There is an anti Democratic wave
sweeping over the entire country,
aud its effects are felt in reduced
Democratic majorities," even in
Texas. The hard times have much to
do with this, but the main cause is
laundering incompetency exhibited
by the Democratic majority in Con-
gress, and especially in the Senate.
The whole country is go weary and
disguised with party that can do
nothing but daily and talk, when
trade and industry are in suspense
and can be restored to activity only
by prompt action, that it is with ex-
treme difficulty that any man of in
telligence can say word in defence
OF the Democrats, much less vote
with them.

THE BUREAU OF INFORMATION.

Letters are constantly being re-
ceived from the United States
making applications for informa-
ton on all sorts of questions per-
tanning to these islands. The let
tiers are piling up unanswered.
1t certainly seems very foolish
to allow the opportunity given Ha-
wall by the bounteous advertising
of the past year, to 60 by default.
Yet this will certainly be the case
unless some agency is established
by which the information sought
by intending investors and settlers
can be furnished them. The Bu-
reau of Information, if not actually
defunct, is in a state of suspended
animation which puts it apparently
out of the active field. Unless it
can be "medicined" into fresh vi
tality, some other way of meeting
the needs for which it was estab-
lished will have to be devised.
There are two ways, either of
which seems feasible enough. The
first is for the Planters Labor and
Supply Company to take the mat
ter up and pay man especially to
answer correspondence and work
up information in a concise and
useful shape. The other way is
for the Government to undertake
the same thing. There does not
seem to be any objection to such
governmental activity, as it would
simply be part of comprehensive
national attempt to build up good
agricultural population.
1t is not material which of these
courses is adopted if only some
thing is done, and done speedily.
The suggestion has been made that
Honolulu needs a board OF trade,
and that such an organization
would do a very useful work. 1t
does not matter much whether the
active commercial society needed
is called Chamber of Commerce,
a Planters Supply Company, or
Board of Trade, if only the work
which ought to be done is taken up
with energy and enterprise.

THE WORK OF A PIONEER

In the death of Professor William
Robertson Smith, of Scotland, al
the early age of forty-seven years,
the cause ofths higher criticism
has lost its most widely known as
well as one of its ablest champions
among the English-speaking ma
tions. He did for them what the
German critics, Reuss, Wellhausen
and others had done for Germany /;
that is, subjected the Bible to the
coolest and closest scrutiny of
reason, founded upon the most ex-
haustive historical researches, and,
withal, attended with the deepest
reverence for the Divine Power.
His ablest criticism is embodied in
the article on the "Bible," in the
Encyclopedia Britannica, which, it
is claimed by his followers and
many independent thinkers, re-
mains unanswered, though he fol-
lowed the whole advanced German
school, and denied the Mosaic
authorship of the Pentateuch.
As President of the Orthodox
Divinity School of Aberdeen, he
was bitterly attacked for his views
but it was found impossible to con-
Wet him of heresy, or to expel him
from the church. He was, how
ever, forced to resign his Office be-
cause be unsettled thought"
The controversy precipitated by
him extended to America, and
through the Briggs case" bids
fair to rupture the Presbyterian
Church.
1t is certainly unfortunate, at
this late day in the history of
Christianity, that the House of the
Lord is divided against itself, and
conscientious Christians DO not
stand ON a common platform, re-
garding the accuracy or authenti-
city OF the wonderful Book, mat
ter which should be as clear, de-
fined and substantive to the mental
and spiritual mind as the exist
ence of the everlasting hills is to
the physical eye.

CORRESPONDENCE.
A Suggestion that the Wine In
duStry be Cultivated.

| Mr.. EDITOR There is an in
dustry springing up spontaneously,
and almost insensibly, in our midst
to which | would like to call atten-
ton. | refer to wine-making.
Although grspe-culture has not
claimed much attention here, l be-
lleve the area in grapes has been
steadily, if slowly, widening ever
since the start it got some twelve
years ago, and [ presume this may
be attributed to the presence
amongst US of so many Portuguese
as well as to the easy culture and
quick returns of the grapevine in
this climate. There are probably
not half a dozen vine patches of
over half-an-acre in this district,
but already the supply is in excess
of the demand.
know of growers who have
spent considerable sums on their
vineyards for a number of years,
and perhaps made expenses in the
past, but who can scarcely give
their grapes away now. Many of
these have resorted to pressing
their fruit as the only means Of
getting something out of their crop;
and it is not generally known that
from our native grapes may be pro-
duced wine quite equal to the Cali
fornia product. | have tasted SAM
pies both from this district and from
Hawaii, which, aged and properly
treated, would compare favorably
with the California article, and
which, just as they were, would
command ready sale at remuner-
tive figures right here.
The importation of California
wines, exclusive Of champagne,
was about 10000 gallons in 1898,
valued at about $4,000; and Gus
tom House figures show that the
consumption of these wines is in
creasing steadily, which fact, taken
in connection with large decrease
in the consumption of spirits in
1898, indicates healthy tendency.
As soon as wine making has a
legal status in this country, 1 be-
lieve it will quickly outstrip our
banana industry. E. H.

THE current number Of the Re-
view of Reviews gives up two
pages to discussion of the Ha-
waiian question and its present
status. 1t IS, if possible, more out
spoken in favor of annexation than
ever. The Review takes the some
what hopeful view that annexation
may be obtained even before the
close of the present Administration,
as it claims that Cleveland has
done nothing which would be in
consistent with his acceptance of a
treaty, when negotiated with an
other government.

THE agitation for a reform of the
House of Lords is spreading, and
the subject is being extensively
discussed on both sides of the
water. While it is possible that
the force of conservatism and in
grained prejudice may make the
shadow go back on the dial for
brief space of years, it is GER
tain that the hereditary principle
is doomed. Nothing is more signi-
icant than the expression by Lord
Salisbury of a willingness to see
reform in the constitution of the
House of Peers. This indicates
that when the fight finally comes,
there will be conservatives on the
side of reform who will favor the
creation of an Upper House on the
representative principle, in order
to check the unrestrained power of
the lower. The dangers of parlia-
mentarism as it is developing in
modern states show that conser-
vative Upper House may well have
a political mission.

BUILDING UP A NAVY.

Yachting should be encouraged
by our people. The inter-island
navigation companies are the
nurseries of able-bodied seaman,
but we. must look to the yacht
feet, the Hawaii, Bonnie Dundee
and others, for the great COM
manders who shall walk the quar-
ter decks of our future battle
ships.
1t is fortunate that our states
men and officials kindly take to
the water. The maritime spirit is
developed in the hardships of a
round trip TO that shark infested
inlet, Pearl River. These bold
adventures are the nurseries in
which the tropical sea kings of
Hawaii grow up. We look with
pride on these weather-beateu
veterans, who exhibit in their
crimson noses, and burnt faces,
after an eventful cruise, the daunt-
less courage of intrepid navigators,
who, like Captain Kidd, "as he
sailed, as he sailed" will in time
rule the waters of the great tran
gull sea.
The proposal to commission
women, as officers of the future
navy of Hawaii, if women suf-
frage is granted, is premature. 1t
would make, indeed, a picturesque
affair, and there would be no end
of pugnacity in the officers, but it
would be better for us to wait until
other nations have moved in that
direction.
1t would be well for our seafar-
ing statesmen, to inveigle the
American Admiral and his asso-
ciates on board of these yachts,

THE ARMY IN WASHINGTON.

The occupation of Washington
by General" Coxey's industrial
army, presents another of the Curl
Gus phases of Democratic evolu-
ton in the United States.
The prominent feature of it is
the terrorism it has created in
Congress. The members of that
body are unwilling to take any
action which may ALLEVIATE the
"labor" vote, and it is apparent to
them that this vote sympathizes
with the industrial army.
The times are desperately hard,
and every working man will take
up with any new scheme or "fad,"
which will relieve him, even if he
is not clear that it will do him any
good. He tries it, as he tries a
new patent medicine. Others who
are not working men, like to see
Congress stirred up to do some
thing"
But there it is, the spectacle of
the representatives of a nation of
65,O0O,0OO of people, standing in
awe of several thousand men, who
are shouting at them and demand
ing all sorts of absurd laws.
There is no danger, however.
The Anglo Saxon race is at its
best, in dealing with such matters.
The moment the general commun-
ity detects any real danger, it rises
at once, and puts an end to any
disturbance.
When Congress was trifling over
the Tilden election case, and the
business of the country suffered for
fear of some disturbance, the peo-
pie came to the front and told
Congress that its conduct was in
tolerable. The matter was soon
settled.

A GENTLEMAN, who has had con-
siderable experience of the working
of trolley roads in the East, is
authority for the statementthat the
grade of the Nuuanu Valley road is
not too steep for a trolley line, and
be claims that such a line could be
built to the Pail at a very moder-
ate cost. The receipts would be con-
siderable, even if the makai termi-
nus were at the foot of Judd Hill.
If the line succeeded in getting a
right of way through the town to
the waterfront, either through Lii
liha or Punchbowl street, it would
undoubtedly do a large business,
and one which would eventually
be profitable. Where is the enter
prising capitalist who will make
the dream a fact?

MAY II, 1894.
There's a rather interesting
bit of loneliness in the shape
of a lamp down in our store
that we would like you to see.
It's been here sometime, be-
cause the price was too high
for the average lamp user;
we've cut it down a half so
that it may 60 to the home of
some one who likes really good
things for the parlor. Some
persons prefer bright metal
for lamps, because they are
more snowy; we don't, neither
do most people abroad. Oak
makes up into lovely furniture,
but where is there a piece of
it for Iarlor decoration that
compares with ebony. So it is
with lamps-high class lamps,
the wrought iron style, as
black by comparison as the
Ace of Spades, is richer and
adds more to the furnishing of
a room than a half dozen
polished ones. We can give
you either style, but the
Wrought Iron is the best, this
one is better than the best,
because it has a fount made of
lockwood Pottery decorated
in subdued tints.
Other lamps, good, bad and
indifferent, in so far as styles
go, are as thick with us as flies
around sugar barrel. We
don't ask you to believe all we
say about lamps, we don't
believe it ourselves; come
along and see for yourself.
Until the tariff business is
settled in the United States,
there will be a feeling of I'M
rest among sugar producers in
Hawaii owing to the doubt
about the duty on foreign
sugars. To relieve this restless
feeling and in a measure to
compensate the planter for the
loss he may have sustained
through the Mckinley bill, we
have decided to advise every
owner of land on the ISLANDS
to adopt the Jones Locked
Fence as a measure of eco
nomy. From fifty to twenty
five dollars per mile may be
saved by its use and it will be
staunch for years when an
ordinary fence will fall from
its own weight.

GRESHAM'S RULING.

The ruling of Secretary Gresham
on the question of the oath Of allie
glance taken to this Government
seems TO have shaken the iron
nerves of our contemporary, the
Star. There does not, however,
seem to be any occasion for solicit
tude. There are hundreds Of Ha-
waiian-born foreigners, who have
attained years Of maturity without
suffering for the want of any pro-
lection beyond that which little
Hawaii has been able to accord
them. These Hawaiian citizens have
even been able to travel, moving
freely and boldly from place to
place, without moleststion. If one
lives quietly and peaceably, with
out breaking the laws, the chances
are that he will live and die with
out ever becoming the subject of
diplomatic complication. On the
other hand, if ore "goes into"
revolutions, he must take his
chances, without expecting any
great advantages from the protec-
ton Of any government except the
one he aids in creating.
A man said the other day:
When we shouldered guns to
fight Uncle Sans sailors and ma
rines, we were not asking for any
protection" This seems to hit the
nail fairly on the head. If we
mistake net, the editor of the
Star was one of those who
were foremost in advocating
the course Of courage and honor,
in those somewhat doubtful De-
cember days. He was not looking
for any protection then.
AS to the law of Secretary |
Gresham's ruling, it seems to be of
a very dubious quality, and hardly |
in accord with the invariable tradi-
tons of the State Department.
While it is true that the United
States does not hold to the doc
trine of perpetual allegiance, it is
equally true that she presumes |
citizen to intend to retain his
in the absence of an
express remuneration Of it. 1t is
very important to notice in any
case that the secretary does not
express any positive opinion, and
ais reply is not therefore by any
means conclusive of the question,
rs it has arisen here.

MR.. WILLIS SALARY.

In the recent debate in the
House of Representatives, at Wash
ington, several Republican MEM
bers objected to the item Of salary
for Mr.. Willis, the Minister to Ha-
waii, on the ground that he had
failed to discharge his duty, and
the omission to vote him the usual
salary would cause his recall.
The Washington Star, in its news
columns, refers TO the matter as
follows:
The clerk then began to read the
| bill by paragraphs for amend nent.
Mr.. Lacey offered the amendment, of
which he had given notice, tn strike
out the appropriation for a minister
to Hawaii. In his opinion, the people
of the United States were heartily
ashamed of the conduct of our Minis
ter at Honolulu, and his presence
should he withdrawn. This could be
accomplished by cutting off his sal
airy.
The amendment reopened the Ha'
waiian controversy, and was particle
pated in by MessIs. Grosvenor (Ohio),
Dinsmore (Ark. Van Voorhis IN. ",
Milliken (Maine), Springer (lil.l, and
Hit Ill.)
The latter, the head of the foreign
affairs minority, declared that ordina-
rily he would oppose the withdrawal
of minister, but the current bust
ness at Hawaii could be transacted by
the Consul General. The withdrawal
would not be permanent. The ire
sistible force OF public opinion would
constrain the administration to change
its policy, and if this amendment were
adopted it would be construed as an
expression of the disapprobation of
the representatives of the American
people.
So far as the people of these
Islands are concerned, we do not
believe that they sympathize with
any such proposal.
Mr.. Willis, as the agent Of the Pre-
sident, followed out certain line Of
policy. Little discretion was allow
ed to him. He YVES directed, on
landing here, to roar as gently as
any sucking dove" for the purpose
of restoration. Perhaps Talley-
rand or Metternich could have
done it successfully, but Mr.. Willis
is not to be blamed if the roar, as |
directed from Washington, failed
to fracture the walls which environ
the Provisional Government.
Mr.. Willis was bound by every
to act Loyalty to-
wards his chief, and for so doing,
It would certainly be unjust and
unfair to punish him, as it would
be unjust to punish the Captain of
a warship for executing an order
given by his superior.
Aside from the incident of the
attempted restoration, Mr.. Willis
has shown himself to be an intelli-
gent, able representative of the
United States, and he has now a
good knowledge of the political
situation. His later dispatches
show that be has correctly "sized
up" the prominent men here, on
both sides of the political ques-
ions, and if he is left to the use of his
OWN judgment, in diplomatic affairs,
We are confident that we shall be
he gamers.

fourteen, of whom three are with
