wAiMrA. Hawai-

EnrOR SrAR.--Did Il ever oc
cur TO you to compare the agricul.
tural possibilities OF this country
with those OF the United States !
think not, aud ten to one, before
you make the comparison, your
mind will be prcjudiced in favor OF
the States.
Every individual | meet IN the
course Of my farm lite tells me,
"Nou can't grow this, you cant
grow that, no use trying anyhow.
As soon as a crop is coming mp de
Gently the pokos, tcui worm take
II off II you want to farm 60 to
the States, that is the country to
farm in" Well, when begin to
draw comparisons the individual in
question gets mad, or goes of, or
argues for arguments sake.
We do have the "pokos, " there
is no getting out Of that, but what
else is there Drought Never
yet in planting season. / have had
to plant potatoes three times run
ming, on account of cut-worms.
That's all right. Il. the meantime
cyclone did not turn up and carry
my barn aud house and farm to
Kauai. The floods did not come
and drown me out. The early or
late frost did not come and nip the
crop just when was calculating
on 400 bushels per acre.
A strike did not turn up at the
right moment and leave twenty
cars of spuds (my whole CROP
resting on a side track. 1t is true
that the Kinau will pack them off
now and again for a holiday trip,
but no harm is done. Well now,
the ''pokos" just seem a little bit
insignificant after all this.
Another comparison. When the
farmer in the States has just lost
his crop, through flood, a strike,
frost, a cyclone, or any other Of
the calamities that strike that
favored country, what does he do,
pray! Well. III tell you what he
does, he either emigrates, shoots
himself, plants again, or waits. |
am glad to say that it is the latter
which he does in preference. He
waits till next planting season.
The Hawaiian farmer in any
locality don't have to do that.
When the festive ''poko" eliminates
his crop. why he knuckles TO and
plants. He can repeat this per-
Torrance twelve times year.

long and extract about 80 per cent. Of
the juice andlheliver the crushed cane in

Honolulu, July ss, 1895.


1t cannot be denied that the
war cloud which hangs over the
world at present is getting darker
and darker. 1t is a historical
fact that the end Of each CEN
tury has always been fraught
with bloodshed and strife, in
ternally as well as externally.
The great powers of Europe to-
day are making and unmaking
alliances Of all kinds. The fact
is that diplomacy to-day is using
every means to postpone the day
when the crash must come and
gain time for the different coun-
tries to prepare themselves for
the gigantic struggle which will
and must take place before the
present generation dates it's let
ters in the year 1900, Turkey
is threatened from all sides. The
Russian bear is extending his
claws and licking his blood
thirsty tongue towards the East
and South in anticipation of
gain. The passive and cold
brother nations who inhabit the
Scandinavian peninsula are
now glaring ferociously ready to
spring at each others throats.
Germany, under its impetuous,
indiscreet imperial master, is
drifting into the deceptive mael-
strom of conquest, and war, in
which all past experience, all
knowledge gained through the
horrors of war are forgotten, and
where only false sentiment and
sham patriotism are ruling.
And while the giants get
ready for the great war their
leaders have realized one thing,
and that is, that no army will
have a show, no militia chance,
except provided with the indis-
pensable bicycle. And no Won
der that the monarchial coun-
tries of Europe prefer the "Mon-
arch" to any other kind, and
supply their wheeling cavalry"
with that favorite brand.
We have watched proceedings
in the great countries with o
great deal of care, and we have
secured the sole agency for ,Ha-
waii of the Monarch Cycle. We
have realized that, not alone q
large stock is necessary, but that
a workshop, in which all needed
repairs can be done is in the in
terest of our patrons, and we have
established one above our stores
on Fort street. This "bicycle
infirmary" will attend to any
sickness" which the wheel
may meet through accident or
lack of care. Our prices are far

fix the Monarchs sold by us at
cost price if ever they should
need it. We have everything
on hand and have secured the
services of a most experienced
bicycle man, whose work we
guarantee.
AS the bicycle is not only of
advantage in war but love, we
wish to call the attention of the
young boys and girls who have
to spend their vacations in Ho-
nolulu, that we have wheels Just
suitable for them. If daddy
can't send them to the country
for trip-or buy them a bow

pleasure and last much longer
than even volcano trip.

The precautions of President
Smith are commendable, however,
and it will be proper for not ouly
the Government, but all Of our citi-
zens of every political color, to assist
him in every way possible. The
main cause OF the dysentery now
rampant amongst our citizens is the
quality OF the drinking water as
supplied by the Government. Let
the people understand that the water
used for drinking: purposes should
always be boiled and, il possible,
filtered, before using. Let the
mango-eating community, young
and old, understand that green or
even ripe fruit at this time Of the
year and in the present state OF
weather, are imminently fraught
with danger and furnish a hotbed
for dysentery. A proper diet AID a
reasonable use Of port wine, good
whisky and other liquors-not beer
