MIKADO'S SILVER WEDDING.
For the Ceremonies 100000 Will
Be Expended.

The Emperor OF Japan's silver
wedding was celebrated on last
Friday by the Japanese residents
in this city. The Naniwa fred a
salute at noon, and in the evening
a dinner was given on board of the
vessel in honor of the day. In
speaking of the silver wedding the
Chronicle says:
Great preparations are being made
for the celebration of the silver we'd
ding of the Emperor. A sum of $500,
900 is to be expended. The Emperor
will make the celebration an occasion
for sending aid to such of the peers as
are in straitened circumstances. Out
side the ranks of the territorial mag
mates there have always been in Japan
mobiles whose incomes were of the
slenderest dimensions, and since the
restoration these impecunious peers
have Jared worse than ever. His
majesty is said to entertain the project
of forming a susteuance fund which
shall serve to relieve distressed mobiles.
The sum to be devoted to this excel
lent purpose is stated at 100000.
1t is reported that the Ministers of
State and She Privy Councillors have
combined to present to their Imperial
Majesties, on the occasion of the silver
wedding, a pair of beautifully-chisele
silver forks, the weight of which will
be about nine pounds avoirdupois.
The Imperial household is said to
have given an order to a Yokohama
for 500 tortoises and cranes
chiseled in silver. These, doubtless,
are designed as presents to the guests
who have the honor to be invited on
the suspicious occasion. The Empress
Dowager has also ordered some object
of art from Yokohama at cost of
about $4,000. This is supposed to be
intended as a present for the Emperor
and Empress. The idea of offering
some mOmento to the Imperial pair
has also been mooted amongst officials,
and it is thought that the scheme will
take the form of contribution amour
ting to days pay from all officials,
including naval and military.
Meanwhile, there appears to be some
among the people in Toxic
as to the method which they ought to
apopt for celebrating the occasion.
Inquiries said to have been addressed
to the Toxic municipality have
ELECTED a reply that the programme
followed in connection with the pro-
of the constitution may
probably be taken as guide.

FARM WAGES WITHOUT BOARD.

The foregoing figures tell their
own story. The rate of wages paid
to white men in Hawaii would
naturally be regarded by the Cali
fornia rather than the Eastern
rate. The California rate is pro-
hibital. The sugar industry
here can only succeed under such
conditions as will permit success
full competition with other cane
producing countries, in all of which
the reward of labor is low. 1t
cannot be other than low here, I'M
less some system is devised by
which high wages are combined
with exceptionally great productive
power If the present labor sys-
tenn is maintained, wages must re-
main as they are.
The only way in which the plan
tation industry of this country can
be put upon different basis is by
the adoption of scheme similar
to that in partial use at Eva. The
cultivator must have a direct in
terest in the product If Chinese,
Japanese and Portuguese find it
profitable to take up holdings, raise
cane and sell it to the mill, we do
not see why industrious American
farmers cannot do the same thing.
This would not, perhaps, dispense
with the need of Japanese, who
would still be employed, but it
would give Hawaii what it needs, a
class of small farmers.

WAGES OF FARM LABOR IN THE
UNITED STATES.

Those who are interested in the
vital question of encouraging i'm
migration from the United States
would do well to carefully study
the following tables of labor
wages, taken from report No. a of
the United States Department of
Agriculture, published in 1892.
These figures show what the
chances are of immigration of far
mers from the United States to
these islands. Those who are dis
posed to fight the planting interest
should carefully consider the stu
alton of this interest if American
wages are paid here. 1t may be
seen that the average rate of wages
in California in 1892 was $3.50
per month. Farmers will not
leave that State and settle in these
islands unless the same or higher
wages are paid. 1t is useless to
expect it. Our political institutions
must be constructed with this fact
kept in mind. If there were free
trade in labor these islands would
be largely depopulated, inasmuch
as the labor market of California
would quickly take our laborers.

MORAL EFFECT. "

It is an error to suppose that the
dangerous persons" act was
launched for moral effect only, or
that if passed no use would have
been made of it. AS a matter of
fact, it's passage would have very
decided moral effect" and this eff
feet is something that a judicious
legislator would be sure to count
on in advance. But the effect
would naturally fail if there were
not fixed intention on the part
of the lawmakers to REINFORCE
the moral" effect with something
more tangible whenever necessary.
1t does not require a very pro-
found knowledge of legislation to
inform one that all laws are passed
for their moral effect. 1t would be
absurd to imagine that the object
of a penal statute is to secure the
punishment of criminals. That is
a mere incident, though necessary
one, of its operation. The object
of all criminal laws is not the pun
ishment of criminals, but the pre-
vention of crime. Laws which do
not accomplish so much fail by
lust so much of their end.
Discussion of the passage of the
dangerous persons act, however, is
at present somewhat premature, as
in point of fact the act has not yet
been passed at all. If it should be
eventually passed the Government
should charge itself with the duty
of making the law feared and re-
spected, as all laws should be.

LET THERE BE PEACE.

Notwithstanding the severe
straining of the relations existing
between the Provisional Govern
ment and the American. Minister,
we believe that harmony should be
restored as quickly as possible. If
the great American lion cannot
persuade the little Hawaiian lamb
to lie inside of him, why not let
him lie gently by his side ? We do
not advise Mr.. Dole and Mr.. Willis
to rush into each others arms with
such violence as to produce COM
bustion of their clothing. We sug-
gest no scenic reconciliation. There
are simple ways of shaking hands
across what came near being a
bloody chasm. Let both of these
exalted persons put themselves in
the hands of their friends" who
will delicately arrange the details
of lasting peace between the two
scowling nations. The friends are
the "Cocoanut Club" of Hawaii.
Its mission on earth is one of peace
and reconciliation. 1t appeals to
no arms, but to a subtle fluid
which, if freely taken, disposes the
consumer to generous deeds and a
kindly feeling to al. men. Gener-
ously taken by Mr.. Dole and Mr..
Willis, on the same spot and at
the same time, we have no doubt
that as the genial warmth of this
vegetable liquid courses through
tneir respective veins they will, to-
gether, pull the curtain over the
solemn duty" the "beheading

In Ireland vaccination was
made compulsory in 1868. Since
that time the Irish Poor Law Com
missioners have carried out the
law and the whole population has
been vaccinated. From 1880 to
1910 the yearly average of deaths
from smallpox was $500, in the
next decade it was 1897, and in
the next 1912. In the year 1867
they were 20, in 1868 they were 10,
and in the next year 6, so that the
Irish doctors banished this scourge
as effectually as st. Patrick did
the snakes.

Marck II, 1894.

Every smoker knows that
when certain brands of tobac-
co, cigars or cigarettes are
first introduced to the public
their quality is superior. The
finest leaf is selected and un-
usual attention is devoted to
the treatment and manufac-
ture. Being a superior arti-
Gle for the money than the
consumer has been accustom-
ed to smoking the sale reaches
enormous figures. In six
months the article becomes
known by the name rather
than for it's quality, because
once the demand Is created
the manufacturer looks out for
a Way to recoup himself for
the expense of introduction by
advertising and the extraor-
binary quality of material
used. Usually drugs are re-
sorted to because of their
cheapness and seductive quail
ties and the consumer seldom
notices the difference until his
health begins to fail. So much
for tobacco.
There are other articles that
meet with the same sort Of
treatment, but who would
suspect that axle grease was
one Of them? One brand has
been on the market so many
years that it is sold entirely
by the name, quality has moth
ing to do with it; we sell it
and every other dealer does,
because some people want it,
but we have a better article
for less money in ''Honogram"
Axle Grease, for which we are
sole agents for the Islands. A
orayman whose wagons carry
tons and tons of freight during
a year has been using it for
the past three months pro-
nounces it superior to any
thing he has ever tried and our
arrangements with the manu-
facturers are such that they
are obliged to keep the article
up to it's present standard.
We have it in large sized
buckets which sell at 81. %
each or in small wood boxes
sold singly or in Gases. This
grease has been tried side by
side with other makes and
proven better in ever: !r~ pect.
We would be glad u have
your order for d box, d bucket |
Or a case.
