TIE PROGRESSIVE ORIENT

Is something that everyone should
know thoroughly, but it remains a
fact that comparatively few can give
you fair description of the countries
and the daily life of the people.
Today there is more importing done
from these countries with England,
France and Germany than one would
suppose.
1t has been my life study to obtain
the most attractive, and, at the same
time, the most desirable and salable
of fancy goods from China, Japan and
India, 1t is not all in buying, but
knowing how, where and what to
buy.
At the "New Republic I" building,
on King street, can be found anything
from the smallest and most delicate
of bric-a-brac, consisting of vases,
porcelain and tortoise shell ware from
Japan to the most delicately-worked
shades of silks from China.

IN THE publication of the pam
phlet picturesque Hawaii the
Oceanic Steamship Company has
set an example that the people of
this country can well afford to fol-
low. Though recent events have
served to advertise Hawaii in the
way of making a good many people
acquainted with the fact that there
is such a place on the map, it is
not the class of advertising that
will turn the attention of the tourist
in this direction except as a matter
of curiosity. Hawaii, with its per-
petual summer and beautiful seen
cry, has the foundation for a popu-
lar winter resort, but to get the
tourist trade there must be more
money spent in advertising than
there has been in the past. The
country needs to have its beauties
put in attractive print.

AWAY WITH FOOLISH BUGBEARS.

Il Opponents of the electric rail
way franchise have thus far kept
their arguments within the borders
of a collection of improbable posi-
bilities that fail utterly to appeal
to the common sense business SEN
timent of the city, ut is stated
among other things that the ex-
preston ''in good running order"
might mean "a car a minute, a
day, a month or complete idle
ness" Arguing on this basis
good running order" might mean
that the company would consider
their contract filed if the stock
holders got out and ran to and fro
on the track. Fortunately, how
ever, our Legislators are not con-
structsd on the business plan that
takes notice of such foolish by
play. 1t is the duty of every bust
ness man to drive as close a bar
gain as possible but he is equally
bound to recognize the rights
and integrity of the pur-
chaser. Legislators doing bust
ness for the people are under
thousand fold greater obligation to
hold to this general rule, nor are
they expected to disinter and in
vent quantity of bugbears which
in their private business would not
be recognized.
Another statement Haunted to
the breeze is that the proposed
corporation gives nothing In return
for the rights granted by the fran
chise. Is it nothing that the new
company is to expend over 500, 900
ayear in the wages Gifts employees?
Is it nothing that the "poor mans
carriage" is to be improved? Does
the Government go begging in con-
sequence Of the increased value of
the property along the line of the
new railway? If Honolulu classes
these perquisites as nothing, it will
stand on record as the first city in
the world that possesses a business
compiled on this plan.
In the matter of concession by |
exemption from taxation, it is un-
derstood that the promoters of the !
railway are not inclined to draw
fine lines, but at the same time it is
a concession which the Government
can we'll afford to grant. 1t is not
the business of this country to place
barriers in the way of new capital
nor to make the first years of new

ENGLISH and American mission
aries in Japan are said to be some
what estranged on account of a
difference of opinion as to the inn
portance of their work. Ameri-
cans claim first place because they
spend more money in their mis-
sions while the English maintain
that by judicious expenditure, five
pounds is made to do more good
than double the amount of Amer
lean funds. The controversy is
unique if nothing more, as it is
rather unusual to compare the

Timely 6oPi@

In the year 1858 Japan
made a treaty with the Amer
lean Government, it being the
first commercial treaty ever
drafted by the former country.
From then on, for several
years, the intercourse with
foreign powers brought to
Japan an increased volume of
business, and still greater
benefits by demonstrating to
that country the distance be-
tween it and the more civilized
nations that the manner of
conducting their business in
terests with outside countries
were too crude.
Just at this time Eastern
mercantile houses commenced
directing their attention to-
wards Japan for closer bust
ness relations, but unfortu-
nately for them the report was
circulated that foreigners were
barred from doing any bust
ness in theEmpire. Until 1868
Japan had very dark days."
but in that year the existing
form of government was over
thrown and a new dynasty
stepped into power with lead
ers who saw that the future of
the country depended on reel
procity.
Aswe are allfamiliar with their
more modern history, it is need
less to describe their phenomi-
nal success and the rapidity
with which they adopted the
manners and customs of their
Eastern competitors.
1t is to be hoped that their
recent success in overthrowing
the Chinese will not so assure
them of their being unable to
err, that they will stand in the
light of their own advancement.
People say this is the fn-de-
seicle age, but from the APP
pearance of the streets of Ho-
nolulu, one would think that it
was the fn-de bicycle age.
Coming events cast their
shadows before thcm," as will
be plainly seen by the sale of
the MONARCH BICYCLE since its
arrival in Hawaii nei. When !
we first considered taking the
for the Monarch, we,
of course, expected that it
would give the other bicycle
agents something to think
about. No one, if they had
been asked to give a CODSer-
vative estimate on the length
of time it would take us to sell
our first consignment OF
eleven wheels, would have
guessed it correctly, and when
we state that it took exactly
four days, we feel certain that
hey would have asked to see
our books in order to verify
what we say. In fact, we are
glad we have the books to
show, otherwise we would be
empted to doubt our own
word.
Such has been the pheno-
nenal sale of the MONARCH
BICYCLE that we have been
compelled to take orders for
bicycles to arrive. This is a
point that we wish to impress
lpon you, that whatever you
nay wish in the way of a
Monarch as regards the diff
erent models, pedals ETC., we
will only be too glad to order
or you, but on account of the
'olume of orders that are daily
formulating in the factory, it
5 impossible for them to turn
ut the goods as fast as the
gencies can sell the wheels, ]
evertheless all these things

TO COTTON GROWERS AND
GINNERS.
Tho Galveston Maritime Assooiation-To
Farmers, Ginners, Cotton Shippers,
Carriers, Manufacturers OF Bagging
and tho General Public Interested In
the Better Handling of Cotton.
GALVESTON, Tex, April Is, 1S9.

GALVESTON, Tex, April Is, 1895.
Considering the numerous and undoubt-
edly well merited complaints being made at
the Mill Points regarding the enormous
loss in weight sustained on Texas Cotton,
and the wretched condition generally in
which it is received, it is imperative that
all parties interested in the chief product
OF our state should take concentrated ac-
tioD to rectify the causes attributable
thereto, which are as follows:
The lack of uniformity in the size of the
bales; the insufficient quantity and
strength of the bagging used to adequately
protect the Cotton and retain distinguish
able marks; and the want Of the proper
number of strong ties to prevent the bales
from bursting.
Therefore, in order to bring about much
needed reforms in the handling of Cotton
from the timo it is ginned until delivered
at the Mills, SO it may bring the
highest price to which it is
attention to the following rules adopted by
the New Orleans Maritime Convention,
now promulgated by this Association,
composed of the various Ship Agents at
the Port of Galveston, which will take
effect August 1st, 1895, viz
/. All ocean freight quotations will be
based upon a compressed density of twen-
ty-fve pounds Of Cotton per cubic foot,
3 The size of standard bale of Cotton,
as put up at the gins, shall be as follows:
Is inches toxed width and IS inches boxed
length.
8. All Cotton shall be covered entirely
with bagging weighing not less than 2Il
pounds per running yard, and bound with
eight good iron or steel ties.
4. All bales of larger dimensions and
covered with bagging of less weight or
bound with less number of ties, will be
charged with additional ocean freight, or
rejected as being in understandable condi-
tion for ocean carrying. Yours very truly,
DAN'L RIPLEY, President.
The Interior Compress association, at q
meeting held at Dallas April %, 1895,
adopted the following:
Resolved, that we urge farmers and GIN
ners of cotton to use no bagging lighter
than "a pounds per yard, and, also to
change their press boxes to conform to the
standard fixed by the Maritime association
OF New Orleans and Galveston, and thus
save an expense of not less than one dollar
per bale, which will be taxed at the ports
against the cotton because of its unmer-
condition.

One Factor.

1t appears that in Japan one factor
entering into the problem of the
choice OF a daughter-in-law is her
skill in raising silkworms. The
thread spun by the silkworm is said
to be regular and even in proportion
as the worm has been regularly and
carefully fed. The prospective
mother-in-law carefully and minutely
examines the e'venness of the silk
thread in the material of the gar
ments worn by the young lady before
giving her assent to the betrothal.

dreadful morass for perhaps the larger

tie known to white people and for
that reason it was an advantageous
hiding place for slaves who were fly
