LETTER FORM HAWAII.

KAhUA, Hawaii, Oct. 20, 1895.
EDITOR ABERDEEN HERALD:
The cholera scare has passed away,
and we now have our regular steamers.
All freight and passenger traffic has re-
sumed, and people are settling down to
business once more.
All schools should have commenced on
September 9th, but many OF them opened
month or two late, owing to teachers
being unable to reach their schools. Our
school was not opened until October IA.
We are now located in the District of
North Koua, on the Island of Hawaii.
Hawaii is much the largest island of the
Hawaiian group, its area being about
4,210 square miles. We are near the
town OF Kailua, and only eight or nine
miles from Kealakekua bay. Captain
Cooks monument is located at Kealake.
kua bay, where he was killed by the
natives, February IA, 1919.
We find the climate quite different here
to that on the Island of Maui. Hamaku-
apoko is on the windward side OF Maui
and receives the trade winds, conse-
quently there is much wind most all the
time. In fact, there is so much that
many OF the trees grow crooked and their
foliage is chiefly on one side. In Koua
we have but little wind, as we are on the
lee side of the island. The interior of
Hawaii is very mountainous, conse-
quently we get none of the trade winds
There is a land and a sea breeze, but no
hard winds. Many Of the cocoanut trees
are nearly one hundred feet in height,
and some OF them are quite straight,
which shows that there are very few
strong winds.
The islands are divided into districts,
which correspond in many respects to
counties in Washington. This is quite a
dry district. 1t contains no running
streams, but much water many be caught
in tanks and reservoirs. OF course, PEG.
pie here cannot use water in the manner
it is used in Washington, but must be
careful that none is wasted. Many OF the
natives use what is called brakish water.
Wells are dug short distance from the
beach, and during certain parts OF the
day the water in them is quite fresh.
The weather is quite warm on tie
coast, especially during the middle Of the
day. The nights are generally quite cool.
A short distance up the mountains the
weather is cooler and there is much more
rain.
l will write about our productions and
modes of living, sometime in the near
future. l am sorry to say that did not
get to 80 to the top OF Haleakala, so l
cannot describe the trip, as l spoke Of
doing.

Free Coinage and Labor.

1t is nquc5tionably true that no part
Of our people is so vitality interested in
the preservation Of a sound and stable
currency as the men and women who
work for wages, and in the term wages
I include salaries and compensation in
every form paid for personal services
in all the occupations Of life. The evils
Of q deprecated and fluctuating currency
must always fall most heavily upon the
poor, who do not produce for them
selves but for others, and who are there
fore compelled to purchase with their
wages everything they eat, drink and
wear. Their wages will remain station
airy, or at best they will rise slowly and
at long intervals, while the prices of
the necessaries Of life are liable to rise
suddenly from day to day as the value
Of the currency changes, and consequent
ly what may appear to be fair rate of
compensation at the time labor con.
tract is made may prove to be grossly
inadequate long before the labor is per-
formed. The laborer cannot protect him
self against fluctuations in the prices Of
commodities, for he cannot purchase at
wholesale when prices are low and keep
out Of the markets when prices are high.
He must buy day by day, and he must
pay out Of his earnings, whether their
purchasing power be great or small.
The employer cannot afford to promise
higher wages in advance, because with
a depreciating and f1uctuating currency
he cannot possibly foretell what tho
prices Of his products will be at any
time in the future. Tins the laborer is
the victim Of two influences, neither Of
which can he successfully resist. He
must accept whatever wages are offered
by employers or 60 without work, and
he must pay whatever prices are de.
manded in the markets or go without
food. Secretary Carlisle at Louisville

This record Of crops and prices proves
that instead Of being caused by an in
crease or decrease in the use Of silver
money, the price of cotton depends in
every case Oh the relation between sup
ply and demand. Larger crops have re-
suited in falling prices, and when in a
few years with an increased crop prices
advanced it was the increased European
demand, which meant that the crop was
not larger as compared with consump-
ton, which regulated the price, The
record further proves that in the year
1s45, when the silverites claim that sill
yer was the unit of value, the price Of
cotton in the United States was lower
than at any time in the history Of the
country. In view of these facts we
should hear no more Of the price Of cot
ton as a reason for debasing our currency
BY putting it on the silvet standard.

THE NEBULAR THEORY.
How, According to 1t, the Sun and the
Planets Were Formed.

Tho finite mind can hardly conceive
Of time when there was neither sun
nor planets, yet both the Bible and sci
ence teach us that such state of affairs
once actually existed. We have all read
the Biblical account of creation, and not
q few Of us have spent valuable time
reading learned essays on the condition
Of things in the time Of "the begin
hing" 1t is not the object Of this
mote" to discuss the origin of the sun
and the planets from Biblical stand
point, nor do we mean to give a resume
of scientific opinions on the subject. On
the contrary, we shall confine our re-
marks to what is known as the "nebu-
lar hypothesis" or nebular theory Of
the origin Of worlds and suns.
According to the opinion of the most
learned astronomers, the beginning" is
ushered in with the existence through
out all space Of an undefinable matter
Of substance called "nebula. This neb-
ula was of such wonderful thinness that
it is believed that millions Of miles Of
it could have easily been compressed in
to common thimble. The heavier
portions gradually gathered around
common centers after the lapse of ages
and formed planets, suns and stars,
the light and heat Of the two latter be-
ing due to the clashing of their compo-
nent atoms as they gravitate continually
toward the center of the mass.
The nebula origin Of the sun and in
cidentally Of the planets also is thus
finely set forth in recent article by
we'll known British writer: The matter,
or rather the gas which composes our
sun, was once spread out to the farthest
orbit of the outermost planets Of our
system--that is, to the planet Neptune.
From the orbit of Neptune this incon-
ceivably thin mass began to converge,
growing denser and denser and smaller
and smaller as it gradually approached
it's existing dimensions. AS it con.
densed, revolving upon its axis, the So
lar mist left behind it at intervals por-
tions of cloudlilze matter cast off from
it's equator.
These masses Of gas, undergoing q
similar evolution to that Of the sun, or
central mass, have, with great slowness,
hardened into what is now Jupiter, Sat-
urn, the earth and the other planets.
Meanwhile the main central mass, al
ways retreating, eventually formed the
sun itself, the present chief luminary Of
our system Of worlds.-St. Louis Re-

Free Silver Charlatans Endeavoring to
Humbug the People.

Free Silver Charlatans Endeavoring to
Humbug the People.
1t is only year or two ago since the
country was thrown into excitement by
the announcement that q man named
Frank Melbourne had discovered a
method Of bringing rain out of clear
skies. To the farmers of the western
prairies the news was especially crafty
ing, as they had so often suffered from
drought that means Of supplying arti-
fetal moisture was Of the greatest inn
portance. In spite Of tho warnings Of
men of science that the man was an i'm
poster many villages and towns paid
considerable sums Of money to Mel
bourne and his imitators, expecting to
be favored with refreshing showers. 1t
is true that in some cases it did rain
after the rainmaker had sent up bal
loon with dynamite and had set off some
gases out Of machine which he carried
around in wagon, but in the great ma.
jority of cases no rain fell, and the peo-
pie lost their money Even when it did
rain no sensible man believed that it
had been brought by the bombardment
of the air, ard now Melbourne confesses
that he cannot and never could make
rain, saying in recent interview:
"There is no such thing as making rain.
The American people like to be hum
plugged. The bigger the humbug the
easier they are duped."
Another set Of charlatans are now
travelling through the south and west
engaged in trying to fool the people
into believing that wealth will be rained
down upon them if they will only elect
free coinage congress and president.
PETER, Bland, Stewart and "Coin" are
preaching doctrines that are just as silly
and as much opposed to natural laws as
were those of the rainmakers. It is not
strange that people who could be delud.
ed into thinking that quack could make
rain should believe that debasing the
measure Of values would make more
wealth. But fortunately they are in the
minority, and the intelligent majority
will never consent to be made the VIC
Tins Of such foolish schemes. The new
rainmakers are making lots Of noise and
sending up plenty free coinage gas, but
they are only laughed at by the men of
sound common sense. Let the quacks go
ON, but don't waste any money on them.

giving away Of the cofferdam, and
eighteen feet of mud dumped into it,
causing a loss Of about $4,000 to the con-
tractors.
New bids for building the state capitol
were opened Tuesday. Only two came
within the provisions, that of Oscar
Huber, of Spokane, for 1886 1866, and Of
Heustis and Barrett, of Tacoma, $4,000,
both with several alternatives.
John Brown, a laborer, aged 60 years,
and Royal Buel, boy aged II years,
were drowned Saturday afternoon in
Elliott bay. They were fishing from the
Northern Pacific trestle running across
to West Seattle, when the lad fell into
the water. Brown heroically leaped in
after the drowning child, and IN the
struggle both were lost.
There are now five salmon canneries on
Puget sound, one each at Seattle, Fair

Jack Ewing. She is accompanied by
her brother, Frank Ewing, and stopped
at Evans. Friday at 3 p. IN. she went to
sleep and did not awaken until 6 20 p.
m. Saturday. After staying up for about
half an hour sine went to sleep again, was
awake for few minutes during the night
and did not awaken again until p. IN.
Sunday. During all that time she had
eaten nothing. Her sleep seems to be
natural except for certain rigidity OF
the limbs and its being impossible to
awaken her by any means. No amount
of moving or noise seemed to disturb her
in the least. She says she has an intense
drowsiness, which she cannot overcome,
and only asks to be let alone and left to
sleep.

SILVER AND SAVINGS BANKS.

Free Coinage Would Have the Effect Of
Wiping Out One-half the Deposits.
A tailor who should insist on his Gus
toner accepting suit Of clothes worth
only half as much as the one paid for
would be considered either fool or a
rogue. The agitators for a debased cur
rency which would permit debtors to
pay their creditors in dollars worth one
half Of those they borrowed need not
complain if plain people use plain Ian
guage in speaking Of their scheme The
silverites claim they are being unfairly
abused when they are called dishonest or
regulators. A single illustration will
show whether they are not correctly de-
scribed.
There are in the various savings
banks Of this country deposits amount
ing to 81, $3.50, 744, 900. This largo sum
represents the little savings Of years by
working men and women, small bust
ness men and farmers. On the passage
Of free coinage law these deposits
would be payable in silver dollars worth
only so cents and having purchasing
power one-half less than our present
dollar. AS the banks keep very little
money on hand they would not be able
to pay their depositors in gold, even
though they wished, as their loans would
be payable in silver, and Of course their
debtors would pay in the cheap dollars.
The result would infallibly be that one
half Of the entire savings bank deposits
Of the country would be wiped out,
practically stolen from their owners and
given to those who had borrowed them.
Would not this be dishonest? Is it not
simple reputation? And, if so, what
are the men who advocate it?
