LOOKING AHEAD.

The immunity of these islands,
during the last forty years, from
bloodshed, prolonged civil war and
serious riots induces a feeling OF
security against any serious dis
turbance in the future. Upon this
men fold their hands and prefer to
drift. ave have had no real war
we shall not have any. Our revo-
buttons are bloodless," they say.
There probably has been no seri-
Gus revolution in history that was
expected by the community. 1t
has always come as a surprise.
Even Barras, whose memoirs have
been recently published tells US
that, although he was one OF the
leading men of the French revolu-
ton. he did not expect in the be-
ginning that there would be any
thing very serious about the affair.
Wendell Philips the polished,
silver tongued, highly educated
orator of the anti-slavery party in
the States said on the public plat
form in 1860, "The age of bullets
is over, the age OF reason has be-
gum" Within two years from that
time a million OF American citi-
zens, at cost OF 100000 per
day, were doing their best to blow
each other to pieces.
Each community predicts out of
its own experience-it has had
peace and it expects peace. If it
has had trouble, it expects trouble.
1t never takes on trust the expert
ence of any other collection of indi-
riduals. By the light of these
acts this community cannot be
expected to look ahead very far, nor
will it permit its Government to do
20. Absolute monarchies have con-
rolled for a time the course of
vents. Democracics hold their
governments with a short chain as
f they were dangerous dogs.

Joseph Nimmo in a recently
published pamphlet entitled, The
Nicaragua Canal an Impractical
Project, has created some of the
best pro-canal literature possible.
He has shown that his pen is
guided by railroad magnates and
has thereby led the public mind
to examine more closely the part
the railroads have been playing
in the trans-cOntinental traffic.
In his advocacy of the railroads
as against canals, he says, "the
shipments of products of CalifOr-
mia to eastern ports of the United
States via Panama constituted, for
the year 1890, only about one-ffth
OF one per cent. of the total value
of the products of industry in the
State" and on the preceding page
he gives these figures for 1890:
"Value of shipments from San
Francisco to New York via Panama,
$1,012,557; value of California pro-
ducts shipped east by rail, $S2,-
100000" A San Francisco writer
asks if Mr.. Nimmo believes his
readers are so ignorant as not to
know that the overland roads in
1890 were subsidizing the Pacific
Mail Steamship Company and pay
ing that corporation vast sums of
money not to carry freight via
Panama? Does he suppose that
the transactions with the steam
ship company were carried on so
secretly as to be known to the par
ties in interest alone? At the In
ternational Deepwaterways Con-
held in Cleveland, Ohio,
Professor Haupt made the state
ment that the most prosperous and
railroads of the United |
States are those which parallel the
cheapest water routes, yet railroad |
fail to appreciate the
paradox, and since they cannot
meet the canal rates they wage a
war of determination against them,
not discerning the mistake which
they are making in attempting to
Isurp the functions of the canals
by carrying low grade raw mate
rails at ruinous rates.

Carlyle says that the only way
to punish in this world is to find
out what the law of the Universe
or of God is with reference to the
one who has committed a misde-
meanor and apply it to him as
soon as possible. If a man cannot
see this law in the Bible, he can
find copy of it written in his own
heart direct from Heaven itself.
The wrong dOer, he holds, is a
deserter from the ranks where all
good men ought to be and, having
been taken fighting red-handed
against the law of the Universe, he
shOild be so disposed of as to
make it impossible for him to do
any more injury. The strongly
sympathetic in considering the
cases of certain evil doors. are
sometimes in danger of losing
sight of~the right society has to
demand that it be protected
against those who have vOluntar-
lily put themselves in opposition
to peace and order. 1t is unprofit-
able to speculate upon the state of
society in which crime, even the
highest, will not be committed.
1t is wise to direct our efforts to
the improvement of that condition
we best know. What the amelio-
rating influences of a more ad
vanced civilization may do in
softening, if not eradicating the
political passions and evil tenden-
cles OF men, so that serious
embrogliOs may be reduced. if !
not made impossible, is a matter
of speculation than positive
assertion.

THE interesting description OF
the general working plan of the
experiment stations of the United
States, given by Professor Maxwell,
ought to be carefully read by every
citizen of this country interested in
the development of our agricul-
tural industries. During the few
years that the experiment stations
of the United States have existed
the people have found that the
public money expended for their
support has been well invested, and
is bringing in larger dividends every
year. Certainly the people of Ha-
waii can i'll afford to overlook the
example given by these stations in
the States. Careful scientific in
vestigation by capable men with
ways and means at their disposal
cannot be neglected if this little
country is to keep pace with its
neighbors. We have the capable
men, and it now remains to fur
nish the ways and means.

The Honolulu Choral.

There was a most enthusiastic
meeting of the Honolulu Choral
Society in the parlors of Central
Union Church last evening. De-
spite the very unpromising weather
the attendance was good. The So
ciety is in possession of some fine
music, part of which was rehearsed
last night under the leadership of
Miss Richards. Each member of
the society has become enthused
with new zeal in that organiza-
TONS interest. They are of one
opinion with the president, who
said before adjournment: "This
was the first classic society to be
formed in the Hawaiian Islands;
there is no reason why it should
not stand and succeed"

CHINESE COMPETITION IN MANU-
FACTURES.

Increased cotton manufacture
resulting from the opening of new
districts in the Chinese Empire
appears to be slowly but surely
bringing about a change of heart
among many British economists
who have been active in the efforts
to break down the protective bar
riers of other countries, and now
the business men and practical
economists of England are begin
ming TO look with suspicion on
armchair economists" who pre-
sumo TO love their neighbors bet
ter than themselves. A recent
report on the trade of China shows
that Notwithstanding the many
adverse circumstances which
came up during the year 1894, to
depress the commercial inter
course of that country, the imports
increased 100000 Haikawau
taels and the exports II, 100000
Haikawau taels, that tael being
worth an average of about eighty
cents. In silver value the trade
of 1894 has never been exceeded
and the customs receipts have
only twice been larger-in 1888
and 1891.
In the last five years, three new
provinces, leach as large as king
doms in EUROPE" have been
opened TO European trade, and
not single bale of Manchester
goods has been introduced in
them" In districts which have
not been reached by native goods
the people simply refuse to buy,
as they will not pay the high
prices demanded for foreign ma
terials. Japan has obtained
a strong foothold in the Chinese
market and with the removal of |
the restrictions on the importation
of American and European ma
chinery, foreign capitalists have
fifteen cotton mills with about |
spindles in course of cree
ton. There are also about the |
same number of Chinese owned |
mills of about the same capacity.
The compiler adds further that
China can grow all the cotton and
wool to meet her own demands
and possibly those of other coun-
tries.
The development of manufac-
lures in China is by no means re-
assuring to the American. Euro
pean capitalists or laborers

kamehameha Boys Preparing for
the Coming Event.

th~ SchhhhrS IN~hhs
Kamehameha school boys are
making great preparations for
athletic sports ON Founders Day,
December 10Th. They have never
gone into any competition of the
kind before and hence are new
hands at it, but they are practic-
ing very hard. and in order to
make the program more interest
ing they have sent an invitation
to the II. \. A. c. asking them TO
enter men in the contests of
Founders Day. 1t is more than
probable that the III. A. A. G.
boys will accept the invitation, as
they are always in for anything
that will advance the interests of
athletics on the islands. Any ath-
letes who wish to enter the lists
will be allowed to do so.
The literary part of the program
will be confined to kamehameha.
No outside speakers will be in
vited to take part.
There are five students in the
normal department. Work is
progressing very satisfactorily.
A small nursery will soon be
located on the grounds. One of
kamehameha's main aims is to
beautify the grounds, and this is
being done as quickly as possible.
Trees are considered absolutely
necessary to this work, hence the
nursery.
There are at present a hundred
students in the normal school.

The action of Minister Cooper
in appointing Commissioners Cir
vim to look after the interests of
the Chinese immigrant laborers
will undoubtedly forestall any
complaints that may be made by
the British Government and guar
antee immunity from any trickery
and false representations which
might be made to prospective
laborers. 1t is also a guarantee
of good faith on the part of this
Government, a disposition to be
free and above board in its deal
ings with imported contract labor,
which will not be without its
good effect among the nations
with which we have dealings. 1t
is withal a commendable and
judicious move.

A MILLIONAIRE OF South Australia
with no amount of political pull
recently found out, much to his
chagrin, that it is not always
money that makes the mare 60"
He thought himself insulted by
Premier Kingston, who is a self
made man and a friend OF the
laboring classes, and waited for the
Minister with a horse whip seeking
to redress his wrongs in his own
peculiar way. The Minister cap
tured the whip and gave his oppo-
nent a sound drubbing. Premier
Kingston's political stock is now
quoted above par and the million
aire is seriously contemplating re-
tirement to private life.

Fully three months have passed
since the Legislative act providing
for a new Labor Commission went
into effect-and the country is
still without the Commission.
We cannot believe that the inhab-
itants of this country are so com
pletely satisfied with the present
conditions that there is no neces-
sity of further investigation of
the matter. We realize that there
are a good number who prefer to
let such matters slide" and hope
that in the dim and distant future
everything will come out all right,
without any unusual eXertiOn on
the part of the Government or
the people. These same self-satis-
fled individuals will find however.
that the "let-it-go" system will
land them in the mire of distress.

SHALL WE DRIFT OR CUT CHAN.
NELS?

Z.
as originally created, has come to an
end without making any report on
the extremely important subject
of supplying the sugar and coffee
planters with satisfactory laborers.
A report on this subject involved
the most serious consideration of
many points, as well as our rela-
tons to the United States and the
Asiatic countries. 1t involved the
presentation of a plan which would,
or ought to, satisfy the planters
that their interests would be care
fully protected, and would, or
ought to, satisfy the white indus
trial and mercantile class that their
interests would also be carefully
protected. 1t involved the crea-
ton of new and definite policy
on the subject.
1t is too apparent that this most
important matter has been allowed
to drift along for years, until the
political situation has become en-
barrassing. The reason for not
making the important report is, as
we have previously stated, that it
required time and further investi-
CATION in order to make it full and
satisfactory. No policy regarding
the labor supply of these islands
will be permanent if it does not
provide for, or take into account,
the actual condition of things, or
the relation of these islands to
other countries. In view of the
probability of annexation to the
United States, such policy should,
so far as possible. be in line with
the policy of the United States.
AT the same time the peculiar con-
dition of our own population re-
quires policy which will not put
any of our great industries in peril.
The law creating the Labor Com
mission expressly confined the per-
sonal investigation of the Commits
sioners to the islands, and this was
perhaps wise. The chairman of the
Commission believed that the pro-
pinquity Of the japanese, and the
large number of that race already
in these islands, required a careful
study OF the problem OF using the
abundant labor which is to be OBJ
tanned in Japan in such a way as
to satisfy the japanese govern
ment, and at the same time not
seriously affect the mercantile and |
interests here. The Jap
anese are an active and pushing
people, and will be heard from,
whether we desire to hear them or
not. They cannot be ignored. The
wise policy is to arrange the rela-
tons of the two countries so that
there will be no friction, and at the
same time prevent inroads upon
our mercantile and industrial in
terests.
The chairman of the Labor Com
visited Japan, ON his indi-
vidual responsibility, and gathered
information on the
subject of adjusting the labor ques-
ton in satisfactory way. He has
made no report, however, as the
act creating the Labor Commission
lid not contemplate a report of
his kind, and the commission was
terminated by law.

should take the matter in hand.

In as much as most of our
remarks have been confined
TO the pumping Aermotor we
wish to call your attention this
week to the geared motor for
barns. Undoubtedly some
time in the past you have con-
cluded to equip your mill with
shafting for grinding of corn
and feed for your stock, and
perhaps attach a grind stone
and buzz saw, and sent away
for a catalogue for estimated
cost and the location of your
building for horizontal and
vertical shafting, but finally
came to the conclusion that
the cost and difficulties Of con-
structing were too great to
warrant the expenditure. Now
here is where the Aermotor
does away with all those great
obstacles and petty annoy
ances. In our plan you have
only to secure the vertical SKIS
mast in position, put the Aer-
motor on one end and the
grinder on the other. The
mast then holds it all. You
can belt to different machines
and drive your pump and feed
grinder at one time. The feed
grinder is always in position.
You have only to turn hand
screw to adjust the lower
grinding ring sufficiently close
and it is already for use, or in
an instant you can put on a
belt to run any other machine.
The saving of power effected
by having all bearings rigidly
in one casting and
in proper place, is
no less important than the
matter of CONVENIENCE allowed
too. The Aermotor runs in
half the wind required by
other mills, and regulates in a
strong wind as we'll as in a
mild wind. 1t handles the
pump the smoothest of any
mill made. An eight inch
stroke Aermotor will throw
more water with less wind
han any of the old style mills.
If you are in need OF a mill
BUY an Aermotor and your
leighbors will congratulate
'ou on your foresight.

A Storm IN the Senate,

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-A storm Of
financial debate swept over the senate
to-day, exceeding in intensity amy dis
Cusslon the upper branch Of congress
has had in many days. It was brought
on by Mr.. Hills advocacy of mis- resolu-
tion defining the policy Of tho govern
ment for bi-metallism, and fOr paying itS
obligations in the best money in use.
The New York senator spoke with his
usual Vigor and was closely followed in
his plea for sustaining the national
credit by a declaration Of policy to the
world. But Mr.. Hills speech was
merely the warning note 10 the storm.
He was followed by Mr.. WolCott, Of
Colorado, Mr.. Lodge, Of Massachusetts,
and later by Mr.. Teller, Of Colorado, in
the most scathing denunoistion and ar
raignment OF the administration for it's
recent bond contract with the Roths-
childS and other foreign bankers. Mr..
Wolcott made direct and personal
criticism Of the president. Mr.. Lodge
was more temperate, but quite as severe
in his personal arraignment Of the prssi-
dent, declaring the recent bond contract
was the blaokest aot in the history Of
American finance. Mr.. Teller added to
the food Of criticism on the recent acts
OF the administration.
Mr. Hill replied briefly and with spirit -,
He declared that q futile effort was be.
ing made to Rrrsign the presidents ad.
ministrstion for lts appeal to the Roths-
Childs, while az a matter Of fact former
republican administrations had sold
bonds to these same foreign bankers.
Mr. Hill declared the president and seq
retary OF the treasury had secured the
best terms possible. The senator closed
his speech by reading the Press cable
from Berlin announcing the purpose Of
Germany to convene another internR-
tional monetary conference.
Mr.. Allen, Of Nebraska, presented q
resolution, which was sgreed to, calling
on the secretary Of the treasury for list
Of the national banks which had been
depositorieS OF public funds during the
