OUR TRADE WITH JAPAN.

Should the Interpretation placed
upon Mr.. Armstrong; writings con-
corning Hawaii's interest in Japan,
by his critics be taken as a criter-
ion, it might we'll be inferred that
the writer had become a Japanese
convert and had forgotten the foun-
dation principles of the Govern
ment Of his native heath, whereas
in point of fact in the arder of i'm
pressing upon the public the COM
mercial possibilities of a larger
trade with Japan, he has given ut
terauce to a combination of words
which to the careful reader are by
no means as terrifying as some
people have endeavOred TO make
them out. 1t is not the object Of
this paper TO offer explanations for
which, to the common sense reader
there is 10 necessity, we do believe
however that too much stress con-
not be placed upon Mr.. Armstrong;
suggestions as to the duty Of the
Government and business men of
this country to follow closely the
commercial development of this
"new nation" that has arisen In the
East.
1t is all very well to talk of Ha-
waits being at the crossroads Of
the Pacific and business being
bound to come "our way" but the
magnificent opportunities opening
before the country may rot in the
ground of beautiful generalities,
unless business push and tact sets
to work to expand upon lines that
make business rather than sit
quietly by and take what comes in
this direction by virtue of our for
tunate position. 1t is impossible to
attempt to compete with larger ma
tons, but Hawaii ought at least to
gain its proportional share, though
a small one, which it will not do if
it fails to take the current when it
flows. Without detracting in the
least from our trade with the United
States, an additional interchange of
products with the East might also
be built up as our communications
become more frequent and direct.
Hawaii wants business from what
ever source it can be obtained, and
if Japan can take products that
cannot be disposed of in any other
market, it is the proper thing to
watch Japan markets.

GOOD FOR RAIN OR SHINE
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1895-08-17

CONSIDERING the peaceful condi-
ton of the community and the ap-
parent disposition to cease from a
continuous hammering against the
inevitable results of the develop
ment of a representative govern
ment in this country, it becomes a
matter Of serious consideration
whether the Government will not
do well to hasten to carry into
effect the lenient policy toward the
political offenders nov In prison,
which was forecast by the pardons
granted on the Fourth of July. As
was stated by this paper at that
time the future action of the Gov
eminent must necessarily depend
upon the attitude assumed by those
who were first granted their free
dom by the Executive. We be-
lieve leniency should be dealt out
on sliding scale in which the
rank and file of the political offend
ers should receive consideration at
the earliest possible moment. The
offense of the leaders is made
doubly serious from the fact that
they led and misguided an igno-
rant class, honest in conviction
and little realizing the enormity of
the political crime committed. At
the present time there seems to be
no good reason why the prison
doors should not be thrown open
and the majority of the natives de-
tanned in consequence of the Janu-
ary troubles allowed to go their
way.

EXECUTIVE POWER IN INsURRECTIoN.

In the briefs of counsel in the
habeas corpus case of Kalanianaole,
allusion was made to the celebrated
Eyre case and the judgment of the
highest British tribunal on the
methods used in suppressing insur-
rection. On the breaking out of
the negro instruction, Governor
Eyre proclaimed martial law, ap-
pointed a military commission,
which promptly tried, convicted
and executed George Gordon and
Samuel Clark, who had fomented
the instruction. One Phillips was
aggrieved at the action of the Gov
ernor and brought suit against
him. The Legislature of Jamaica
had passed an indemnity act re-
lieving the Governor from personal
responsibility, and the question be-
fore the high court of England was
the justice or constitutionality of
this law.
The court met the question
promptly and vigorously. 1t ad.
mitted that indemnity acts in
volved manifest violations of JUS
tice, and deprived those who had
suffered wrongs of their vested
rights, and it conceded that such
laws might be made to cover acts
of the most tyrannical arbitrary
kind. But the court concluded
that if the acts were honestly done
in the suppression OF an existing
rebellion, and under the pressure of
urgent necessity, they were justif-
able.
The case of Eyre, it is we'll
known, excited intense interest in
England, and the philanthropists
moved in body against him and
pronounced him a bloodthirsty
tyrant. But the courts saw, and
sensible Englishmen saw that the
authority of the queen could not
be maintained, if the power to put
down insurrection was crippled in
any way. In the summary execu-
ton of Gordon, it was conceded
that the Governor had acted hast

Neumann, so that the people of
these islands might clearly under

matter, especially those who fom-

Timely Copies

The meaning Of free coinage
of silver under present condi-
tons is The right of any one
to deposit silver at a United
States mint and have every
37IH grains pure silver, worth
in its bullions form, So cents,
stamped one dollar which
dollar shall be a full legal
tender at It's face value in pay
ment of all debts and obliga-
tons of all kinds both public
and private, in the United
States"
The dishonesty of thus Civ
ing a coin, which is worth 81
cents, the legal debt paying
value of one dollar does not
need to be enlarged upon.
From the foundation of the
government of the United
States, the effort was made to
establish a coinage approx
mating as closely as possible
to the commercial ratio of the
two metals.
Both Hamilton and Jefer-
son urged the necessity of adj
herring to market ratio. Never
until the modern silverite came
to the front was it seriously
proposed to mint dollars with
full debt paying power worth
only half their face value.
If the people of the United
States feel that the prosperity
of the nation, and any one Sec
ton particularly, demands the
coinage of two metals, let sill
yer and gold be placed on
such a ratio that they can sub
sist on their merits. There is
more silver than gold, SO why
should the silverites be afraid
of gold competition ?
Is it not more profitable to
have the silver of the United
States used as a medium of
exchange at its true CONNER
cial a00ytk in connection with
gold, than to have it all silver
silver-and the dump
ing ground for the silver of the
world.
Silver is not on a par with
gold in Hawaii, but when it is
used as a medium of exchange,
locally, a few dollars less than
what are charged for other
wheels will buy you a 'Kingof
all Cycles" the MONARCH.
When a man comes into the
store with the cold cash" in
his hand and says he wants a
MONARCH. it means that we are
doing business.
1t seems too bad to have to
refuse to accept the money,
and explain that the one wheel
left is a sample and that we
could not part with it, but will
take his order for a wheel to
arrive. and if it is not just aVlsat
he ordered he need not &C
cept it.
We have had to refuse such
offers, but in every case we
have booked an order. This is
the only way that we can sup

GARDEN AND ORCHARD.

SEED must come in contact with the
soil to insure termination.
lT is better not to select trees for
planting that have grown rapidly on
very rick soil.
SCAB is the common black scurfy
spots on fruit. The remedy is good
cultivation and spraying.
GROWING apples, as farmer remarks,
is more in line with the farmers gem
eral work than is the growing of any
other fruit. The work is done with a
pillow, spade and manure fork
In planting an orchard, says an
orchardist, plant different varieties in
close proximity, or better still, crab
apple occasionally, to assist and per-
feet fertilization of the fruit germs
A WISCONSIN apple grower said be-
fore one of the institutes in that state
that clay soil on well elevated land,
where limestone comes near the sur
face, is the best place for an apple

have a cover for protection. The ac-
companying cuts represent piclier's
stand and case, used on the Thayer
fruit farms. Fig is six-quart case
and Fig. is cover attachment. Fig.
B is square tin box into which II quart
box fits. 1t is fastened about the waist
with strap, and is used only for rasp-
berries and blaclberries. BE sure all
boxes and cases into which fruit is
placed are clean and well made. Cow
ers must fit tightly, SO no air or dust
will strike the fruit.
In hauling to place of shipment al
ways cover with canvas or some sim
liar material. Direct all cases neat
ly and in one particular place. Place
the consignor's name, as well as that
of the consignee, upon every case. Ship
only to reliable and trusty dealers
and commission men. BY neglecting
proper preparation and careful ship
ment, much small fruit goes on the
market in bad condition, bringing low
prices and also injury to the reputation
of the grower.-L. Herbst, in Orange

Preserving the ora Orchard.

If the orchard is worth preserving
and caring for, it should not be kept
in grass but cultivated frequently, up
to about the middle of August. Grim
son clover might then be sown; if it
does well, some pasture would be Sc
cured in late fall and early spring.
Replow another year and continue the
cultivation as in the first year. IL
crimson Glover does not succeed in
your lana and locality, rye might be
sown in order to keep the ground well
furnished with humus and preserve it's
power o. retaining moisture in dry
weather. But If conditions are such
that it seems advisable to seed it down,
then sow four to five quarts of timo-
thy, two of red clover and one of alsike
per acre. In addition to this it might
be well to add about two pounds
of orchard and tall meadow fescue If
good seed can be produced. If the
land is not run together and is friable
on the surface, it need not be plowed.
Cultivate, harrow and sow the seed as
early as possible and roll.-Country

soiled Clothing.

Soiled clothing, bedding and all arti-
cles for the laundry should not be put
in closet with other wearing apparel,
or kept in II SLEEPING or living room,
hut put in some well-aired, dry, .ool
clubhouse until washed. They are iilled
with the exhalations from the body,
and will give off an f1uvia which will
infect other clothing. All closets where
wearing apparel is kept should be we'll
aired, as dust ard dirt are often
brought in our outside garments. When
a closet opens into sick room every
article of clothing should be removed
from it, and should not be brought
back again until the sick one has re-
covered, and the closet and room have
been disip fected. Good Health.

ly, lifting the dandelion from one pan
to another, that the sand may be left
in the water, and change the water till
it is clear Let them soak in cold
water an hour, drain and throw them
into boiling water and salt. Boil half
an hour or till tender, then put them
into colander, press them to extract
the juice and chop them fine. For
half Il peck of dandelion put heap
ing tablespoonful of butter into a

level teaspoonful of flour. one-half tea
spoonful of salt and little pepper
Put in the dandelion and let it heat
through. Garnish the top with slices
of hard boiled eggs, or serve cold with
French dressing. Dandelion is con-
sidered very healthy green in the
spring. The cultivated dandelion that
is now found in the market is less Bit

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
EXCELLENT EXAMPLE.
How Massachusetts, Has Demonstrated
tho Value of Good Roads.

How Massachusetts, Has Demonstrated
the Value of Good Roads.
An impetus to the movement in favor
of good country roads Is likely to be
given by the second annual report of
the Massachusetts, highway commits
sion, which has recently made its APP
pearance. Massachusetts was one of
the first states to appreciate the inn
portance of good country roads and
ono of the first 10 take practical steps
to secure them. Last year the legis-
lature of that state passed law by
which the local authorities in any sec
ton may have any road in the state
declared state road and have ex-
pended upon it a portion of the state
appropriation for road improvements
under the supervision of the state
highway commission. All that is nee
essary is for the selectmen of towns or
the mayors or aldermen of cities to pc
tition for the acceptance of road as
state highway, and if it can in any
sense be considered a leading road
such acceptance is sure to follow.
In connection with the passage of
eiiio ~" ~'NNiNOO NdH hhti
placed at the disposal of the commiss-
sion to make provision for such inn
provements as it might deem advisable.
The larger portion of this money was
divided up among fourteen counties,
the appropriation for each running
from $4,000 to $4,000. Thirty pieces
of road were selected throughout of
the various sections on which these
appropriations should be expended.
To give all parts of the state fair
show in the expenditure of this road
money it was decided that no city or
town should have more than two miles
of its state roads improved by means
of state grant. Care was taken that
all the improvements ordered should
be of n connected character and that
the roads on which they were made
should lie between important centers
of population. The accomplishment
of the work ordered by the commission
has wrought tremendous change in
public opinion on the necessity for
good roads. 1t has given the people an
opportunity of seeing what they have
lost through the prevalence of bad
roads,
Prior to the beginning of the com
missions work an amazing amount of
apathy existed among the country peo-
pie. The leveling up of the ruts in the

roads with pillow or shovel once a year
was all they deemed necessary, and
any greater expenditure of money or
labor than was required to do this they
considered wasted. All the improve
ments made under the supervision Of
the commission were done by experts
in road building. Competent engineers
were employed to see that the work
was done thoroughly. As a matter of
fact. it has been so well done as to
arouse the enthusiasm of the people of
the state in favor of good roads The
apathy has all disappeared, and instead
of waiting for the next session of the
legislature to vote another appropria-
ton to continue the good work the
town and county authorities are now
voting large grants to carry on the i'm
provements on their own account.
They have purchased the necessary
machinery for road building, and the
work is to be pushed without delay
until every corner of the state is fur
nished with good roads. The example
of Massachusetts is worth following by
Illinois and other states. -Chicago

tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products TO
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid

and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in soc and 81 bottles, but it is man
