DEAR SIR:-1n reply 10 yours OF the
10Th INST regarding the National Cane
Shredder iurnlsheo by the niv. rsal
Mill Co OF New York, and erected nv
the Hilo Sugar Co. this past season.
lwould beg Il say, that it has now been
in operation day and night during the past
three " eeks Working on plant cane, and
also hard ratoons, and it is giving me the
greatest satisfaction. The more | see of
its capabilities, the better pleased | am
that put it in, as l am satisfied that it
will repay the original outlay in short
time, in saving of labor, higher extrac-
ton, etc.
1t is shredding from $50 to 400 tons OF
cane every % hours with the greatest
ease, and it could shred much larger
quantity If necessary. 1t delivers the
TO the three roller mill, which receives it
without the intervention of any labor,
and as the cane is thoroughly shredded
or disintegrated it relieves the mill of a
great deal of strain, thus reducing the
liability OF broken shafts, gearing, etc.
There is saving of four (4) men daily
on the mill, as only one man Is required
to regulate the amount of cane delivered
by the carrier to the shredder. It has
increased the extraction from to
5 per cent.
The economical use of steam is gene
rally serious consideration IN adding
new machinery, as in most mills the
boiler power is taxed to its highest limit,
as it was in this mill, and any increased
demand neeessitated an additional boil
er. But L find that the shredder and the
three roll mill engines combined use no
more steam than the three roll mill
engine did when working on whole cane,
while doing better work and more of it,
and owing to the uniform feed on the
mill, the engine demands very little
attention.
The Negass from the shredded cane
makes superior fuel, and the firemen
have less difficulty in maintaining a uni
form pressure of steam than formerly.
will be pleased to have a call from
parties interested, as it is necessary to
see the machine st work to fully appre-
ciate its capabilities.
remain, very truly yours,
(Sig.) JOHN A. SCOTT,
Manager Hilo Sugar Co.

COUNTING A QUORUM.

There are two ways TO count a quorum
according to Democratic authority. One
Is for the Speaker TO count members in
their seats who do not vote. the other to
count members in their seats who do not
vote. At first glance there does not seem
to be much difference between these two
ways. but Democratic authority assures
us that there Is. When the Speaker is a
Republican he will rapidly run his eye
over the House and call the names of mem
bers he sees In their seats who had not
voted. A Democratic Speaker will run his
eye over the House less rapidly, and per-
haps will call in some other Democrat TO
help him. In this way there will be what
may be called accumuIative evidence of
the fact that non-voting members are In
their seats. 1t is urged that there is no
plagiarism of Reed in this process for the
reason that it is an old proposition. There
was in fact nothing to invent. Speaker
Reed simply applied natural rule to rem
edy unnatural conditions. When Rep
resen tative sits in his seat and refuses to
give vocal testimony TO the fact, the
House authorizes the Speaker to do for
him what it was his duty to have done
himself. The Democrats must expect to
be laughed at little for coming to the
Republican side for aid against the rsbsl.
llous in their own rank. but both Demo.
Gratis and Republicans rejoice that the bar,
barous practice of flibusterIng will by
the adoption OF the Reed rule be RELOCATED

FORTITUDE IN DEFEAT.

The New York Sun says:
Fortitude in defeat is one OF the attributes OF
the Democracy.
1t must be admitted that the Democracy
appears to the best advantage as minor
ity party. During the twenty-fOuY years
between 1860 and 1854 it accepted defeat
with good grace. So long as it was not
called upon to do anything but to criticize
the Republicans it was equal to its mission.
During these years it displayed fortitude
of high order. 1t was patient and SEEM
ingly hopeful. It's attitude finally attracted
voters from the Republican party. 1t was
surmised that party which carried itself
SO we'll when out of power would do credit
10 itself when power should be placed In
its hands. The thirteen months OF Mr..
Cleveland's administration have dispelled
that Illusion. The Democrats seem to be
aware of the fact They are preparing to
go again into retirement. There is no prin-
ciDle or line of policy upon which they
agree. Just now they are engaged In read
ing certain Senators out of the party.
Their newspaper organs have long since
been discredited. 1t would be difficult to
point out single so-called Democratic
paper in the Union whose Democracy Is
accepted as the genuine article. The Con-
cusion is natural that If the Democrats do
not know what they want the reople do
not want that parry in power. In very
short time the party will be back In its old
role of defeated party, when we trust it
will display the fortitude for which its
ablest newspaper representative gives IL
so much credit.

MEXICAN FINANCES.

Present indications are that Mexico will
soon decline to pay the premiums on gold
needed to meet the interest on her public
debt. This debt was incurred in silver,
but is made payable in gold. An example
of the way the gold cinch works may be
found In the history of the Mexican
National Railway. This railroad was
built mostly with foreign money borrowed
at time when the gap between gold and
silver was narrow. But last year this
company paid about 100000 in premiums
on gold with which to meet Interest pay
meBts on Its debt The National Govern
ment is in the same predlcament. Its rev.
enues are cut up into two parts. one going
to pay premiums ON gold, the other to meet
current expenses. There is not country
on the continent Of America that is not af-
fected to greater or less extent in the
same way. The United States is on gold
basis, but as its products. including silver.
have fallen in value as gold has risen, our
industries are taxed indirectly as the in
dustries OF Mexico are taxed directly.
Mexico sells for silver and buys gold; we
sell for gold. but at prices that correspond
with the appreciation Of gold. or course,

tries refuse to buy gold st so per cent

MELLO AND DA CANA.

It is intimated that Da Cana will search
Mello out and force him to fight duel.
AS neither of the insnrgent aomrals has
shown much disposition to fight battles. 1t
might be well to let them show that they
are men of courage by a personal en-
counter. This way Of getting rid of unsuc-
cessful rebels may commend itself to the
civilized world. There seems to be grow
ing indisposition on the part of govern
ments TO infict the death penalty Oh
rebels, and any lighter penalty is simply
keeping alive the embers Of rebellion. A
murderer is executed and that is an end
Of him. but would-be reyolutionist is
supposed by his followers to be superior
sort Of patriot. Consequently the worst
thing the Government can do is to bestow
upon him the crown of martYrdom. But
If deported rebels will come together in
twos and fOurs and kill each other the
Government cannot be held responsible
for their acts. So far as Mello and Da
Cana are personally concerned there does
not seem to be large place open TO them
either in Europe or in America. As rebels
they have not made a good record. For a
long time they were on the edge of fight,
but never in one. They played hide and
seek while Peixoto constructed fleet ore
powerful than their own. Whatever may
have been their motives. whether animated
by patriotism or BIZ desire for personal
ACKNOWLEDGMENT. they have not shown
themselves capable leaders.

BEET SUGAR.

The Chino Valley Champion regards the
growing of sugar beets the most profitable
and permanent industry in which Califor-
MIA farmers can engage. In an article
urging farmers to diversity crops and pre-
dieting the beneficial results to arise from
this policy the Champion says:
Nothing in Southern California is doing so
much TO accomplish this result as the beet
sugar Industry. This gives us branch OF agri-
culture In which an extra heavy crop never
glnts the market and forces down prices II
gives US a crop for which The market is ahso-
lutely assured IN advance. The sugar beet
farmer comes into competition with no other
farmer; In fact, he makes market for general
farm produce and adds at the same time his
qrota to the general wealth Of the country. His
crop does not freeze In the winter, nor blow
away in northers. 1t is absolutely safe. and it
Is absolutely sure; and we have yet to see the
crop, whether orchard or general farm, that
through series Of years will average as large q
profit per acre. counting capital invested, etc.,
as this.
There Is but one cloud in the picture
thus presented. That is the threat of the
Democratic Congress to leave sugar to con-
tend unaided against foreign competition.
Can the Champion show that beet sugar
can prosper without protection?

WHAT We READ.

A writer named Carl Snyder has col
Iected statistics of the consumption of
reading matter in this country. and has
published them. with comments, in the
american Journal Of Politics. periodi-
cal published in New York. He shows
that the number of periodicals, daily,
weekly and monthly, consumed in the
United States amounts yearly to 4,o00.-
O0O, 600 copies. while the consumption of
books only amounts to 100000 900 copies.
In other words, for every book that is
circulated there are 400 newspapers,
weeklles and monthlies. The contrast,
startling as 1t seems. will not surprise
those who have studied the subject. An
enormous proportion of our people never
read books at all, whereas they all read
newspapers
1t thus becomes vital to find out what
class ST periodicals have the firmest hold
on popular favor; for while periodicals are
made to suit the public taste, and thus to
some extent reflect the character Of the
community in which they are published.

round figures that OF the total Issues of
periodicals put forth each year 20, 000.00
are monthly magazines, which are de-
signed. as Mr.. Howells says. for the most
cultured and refined portion of the CON-
munity, and which exercise a wholesome
influence. Or the 400. 000.00 wesklies,
the great bulk belong to the same class.
though among them must be counted the
journals of depravity devoted to the illus
tration Of crime and the circulation OF DO
lice news. 1t is estimated that forty mil
lions of such sheets are published yearly,
sowing seeds of vice and crime among The
young and supplying the vicious class with
the food they love.
With regard to the $500, 600. 600 dailies
published in year, Mr.. Snyder makes an
estimate that nearly one-half are sensa-
tional sheets, which make crimes, scandals
and pictures Of vice their chief feature.
The estimate is probably wide Of the mark.
A quarter would be nearer the truth.

SENATOR HILL.

The people are learning from Demo-
cratic sources what bad man Senator Hill
is. There was no general censure of Hill
when he so manipulated returns In 1892 as
to secure the Legislature for the Demo-
Gratis. In fact Hill was then thought to be
a pretty smart politician and worthy
successor to President Cleveland. He did
not lose standing in the party when he
nominated Judge Maynard to the Court
of Appeals in payment as was asserted
for stealing a poll list in the 1892 can
vass. But since Hill has made q speech
showing the irregularities and general In
consistence of the Wilson tariff bill. the
discovery has been made that he is nat
urally bad. He is Mephistopheles and
Frankenstein In one. But the number Of
guns leyeled at him show that they think
him a hard man to kill.

places, though they are unhappily far
more numerous than they should be. still
constitute small proportion of the inhab-
tied dwellings. 1t is observable. too, that
the fortunes of sensational sheets are pre-
carious and that they often die just rs they
seem to have secured permanent foot
hold. People get tired Of them. No one
wants to eat spiced carrion forever. In
mining camp the spicy personal journal
which revels in salacious stories and
unctuous details finds an eager market,

and paved streets and water works ana

fer newspapers which they can leave on
their breakfast-table when they 60 out.
The prosperity of police gazette Is unerr-
ing evidence of immature civilization.
Similar testimony is borne by the chron-
icle of the book market. The dime novel
is no more and "Old Sleuth" is gathered to
his fathers. But the 5 and 10 cent libra
ries of books of adventure-such books as
"The Faro King" "The Death Shot,"
The Man Shark" "The Velvet Hand,
"The Demon Doctor'-circulate largely in
small country towns ana train the rising
generation to life of vice or crime. Chi

with a similar class of detestable works

which. happily, they do not.
1t is curious to observe the direction
which the taste OF book-readers takes. 1t
appears that the most popular writer OF
the day is gentleman named L. B. Por-
ter. the author Of the "Albatross" series
after him a lady named Laura Jean Lib
hey. and after her E. P. Roe. 1t Is safe to
say that not one of the trio ever wrote
novel that is worth reading. After them,

of which 100000 copies have found mar
ket, and next General Grants ''autO biOg-
raphy." of which $50, goo copies have gone
into consumption. On the heels of these
Dickens works, the novels of Bertha Nj.

have enjoyed and still enjoy wide popu-
larity. They are far more widely read
than the novels OF HOwells, or Meredith, or
Crawford, or Sarah Grand, or the compo-
si;ions of Andrew Lang, Gosse or Boyesen,
which are doing well when they sell ten or
fifteen thousand copies.
