KICK, YE EDITOR. KICK,

sion that a new wharf in Hilo is IN
necessary. This is about on a par
with the childish prartIe TO which the
Tribune has been giving up is col
umns OF late. The aggregation who

and that is 10 indorse all the misrepre-
sentation they can put their hands en-,
and endeavor 10 bring themselves to
public notice by parading HiIo as the
most abused burg on the face of the
globe. If the editorial utterances are
representative Of the people of Hawaii,
the people have our most heartfelt
sympathy. and il may be put down as
a foregone conclusion that the progress
on that Island at one time hoped for
is in the Tar distant future. No coun-
Try and no community has ever pro-
crossed whose people expended all
their energy in kicking and piIing up
obstruction in every way possible.
This is just what the small Tribune
eoterie is trying to do. and at the same
time make the readers believe that
such a policy is for the best good OF
the Island and the country.
We would like very much to see a
Board OF Trade organized in the town

OF the best organizations the town

more than ten men could be formed
that would back up the assinine policy
OF the Tribune. We agree with our
contemporary that the personnel and
intelligence OF Hilo's merchants will
rank as high as that OF any town of
It's size; we will go further in fact and
assert that the merchants are too in
teIIigent TO believe that anything good
can be gained TO Hawaii by such bal

brings the American interest on
level with the British interests,s or
nearly so. a fact that may possibly
have political influence over our fu-
ture. of which we have but little con-
Ception at the present time. The fact
is not to be disguised also that from
1890 TO the present year of grace AM
erican politicians have left us severely
alone-except once or twice as party
cry to secure some trivial end-thus
proving a stumbling block to our pro-
gress. Had America maintained her
primary attitude toward us, John Bull
would not have been permitted TO
pigeonhole Samoan affairs in the man
ner that he has done. The fable of the
aog in the Manager applies exactly TO
the situation suggested, the result be-
ing painfully and conspicuously evil

cial condition. A revival of Americas
interest in Samoa would draw atten-
ton to us, and let us hope that the
success of Messrs. Wellman. Neylan
and Hobbs will have that desired eff
feet"
Samoa's position is after all not so
different from that of Hawaii as it
might be. The United States is simply
requested to do what the proper pro-
lection of its own interests requires, or
else let the whole business alone and
clear out. The policy of the present adj
toward the islands of the
Pacific has been such a complete fail
ure that the incoming administration
cannot at least make the situation any
worse than it is now.
During the past four years the Unit
ed States has played worse than sec

has appeared to be SUI
premely ignorant that Samoa ever fig
ured in the foreign policy of the
United States, and thus the public in
terest in the work on the best harbor |
in the group has, as the Samoan Times
says, been dying an ignominious death. |
Unless some statesman of more than |
ordinary ability gets hold of the dip |
lomatic reins in the United States, |
that country will lose all the power it
ever had or hoped to have in the Pa

The University Association, which,

known as the University Club. has

number passing favorable comment
upon the movement can be taken as a
criterion. It is indeed surprising 10

that those in whom the spark of col

PARALLELS IN WHISKEY AND
SUGAR.

A problem under the head OF supply
and demand has come to the whisky
disulleries in Kentucky, whose man
ayers find that they already have spir-
its enough stored in bonded ware
houses to supply the market demand
for more than four years. This over
supply has been the means of bringing
about an agreement whereby only six
of the three hundred Kentucky distil-
leries will be run during the next
eighteen months, in order that the
supplies may be sold at a fair profit.
There are q great many lessons to be
drawn from this incident, and by no
means the least important is the ex-
ample given of the power of trusts,
under the name of close corporations
TO exercise almost complete sway over
the market prices OF products, although
we must admit that there will be very
little lost to the world through the
high price of whisky.
The extraordinary whisky surplus
also finds some parallels in the pres
ent and probable future of the sugar
markets of the world Notwithstand
ing the shortage in the Cuba crop, the
Louisiana Planter is given to taking
very serious view OF the situation. The
ominous features are due to the declara-
ton OF intentions by the German Gov
eminent to so develop the sugar beet
industry as TO drive the sugar cane out
of the market While there seems 10
be no immediate fear that sugar cane
will not survive any struggle with the
beet industry, there can be no doubt
that the production during the next
few years Will be OF sufficient volume
to run prices to a very low figure and
make profit margins very narrow.
The prospective fight between the
beet sugars of Europe and the cane OF
the United States and the West Indies
is one in which this country is directly
and critically interested. The Louisi-
ana planters seem to fear only the beet
sugars of Europe, but the chances are
that beet production in the United
States will assume more prominence
in the next four years than it has
previously. 1t was in 1892 that the
company controlling the American Ag-
riculturalist set on foot a gigantic
scheme to open up beet sugar farms all
through the Western States The cleo
ton OF Cleveland put an end to the
plan, which will doubtless be reopened
under a Republican protective admin
istration. There is plenty Of money
to be put into American beet sugar
production, and under present prices
the farmer will desert wheat, corn,
oats, etc. Unfortunately, it is impos-
sible for sugar producers of any sec
ton TO follow the example of the Ken
lucky distilleries and close their mills
Other countries would simply increase
their production to make up for the
loss. The only thing TO do, then, is TO
look well TO the future and prepare to
meet sharper competition for a time.
Sugar beets viii be popular among
farmers so long as the prices of other
staple products are low. The cane cul-
tivating contingent has then to look
out for temporary inroad and trust in
the principle of the survival of the
fttest.
