THE SOUDAN.

The English expedition into the Sou
dan is likely to end in disaster. Eng
land is only once again making the
same mistake of sending an inadequate
force to do a mighty work. Moreover
/ the bulk of the force being almost en-
/ tirely made up of Egyptian troops
commanded and drilled, it is true, by
/ British officers, it is a doubt if such
/ troops will stand by when the time OF
! trial comes, and the bowling hordes OF
| fanatic Dervishes rush upon the
squares. 1t must be remembered that
il was all the flower of the British army
could do eleven years ago, to with
stand the attacks of just such fierce
fanatics.
The condition of the Soudan since
the death of the Mahdo has become
appalling. His successor, Abdulahi, is
an ignorant, vicious and evil man. The
moral condition of the whole province
is, according to Staten Bey, frightful
Staten Bey, whose book, Fire and
Sword in the Soudan," has been re-
Gently published, was an officer under
Gordon, and appointed governor gen
eraI of the province of Darfur. In 1884
his province was overrun by the
Mahdis' troops and he was obliged to
surrender. He remained in captivity
until last year when he managed to
escape. Naturally such a man can
give a good picture of the condition of
affairs. What civilization had spread
ian occupation had been swept away.
The Arabs have seized all the best
lands and driven out the owners. Slav-
cry is rampant. There is no such thing
as justice. Life is not safe. No Euro
pean is allowed to enter tn eSoudan.
But it is not sufficient for these
to have devastated the Sou
dan. A holy war has been preached
among them and they are determined
TO spread Mohammedanism of their
peculiar type at the point of the sword. |

to the support of this place the Eng |
Iish army is advancing. With the army |
is the same Staten Bey whose book we
have called attention to. He goes in
the capacity of guide, his knowledge |
Of the country being very thorough. |
Should the expedition be unsuccessful |
and Staten Bey fall once more into the |
hands of the Arabs, his fate would be
indeed an unhappy one.
OF course, should the expedition fail,
mother stronger one would have to be
ent. The end will be the same. The
'oudan will have to be brought into the
phere of Egyptian influence once more
md the provinces administered for
ONE considerable time by English and
ther European officers. In this way
fertile and populous country will once
nore become a useful member of the

GIVE SCIENCE \ PLACE.

The ideas on the extension or our me-
neurological observations expressed by
Douglas Archibald in his letter to c. ).
Lyons are by no meals new 10 the
scientists of this country. AS in all new
countries, the people Of Hawaii have
been too much taken up with re cues
ton of dollars and cents to turn their
attention or capital toward scientific
matters. 1t was only about year ago
! that the sugar planters came TO a re-
alizing sense of what assistance science
might render them. In the appropria-
| ton of public funds some of our people
begrudge the small pitance allowed for
the services of valuable men in the ag-
ricultural demartment, and we venture
to state that a good proportion of the
people are inclined to believe that the
not amount to much.
1t is only a matter of time, however,
when the people will be forced to come
out Of the present state of scientific
lethargy. The practical adaptation of
scientific research is steadily on the in
crease in the countries about us, and
unless Hawaii is to be left sadly in the
background it must pay more strict at
tention to the signs of the times. One
has only to note the growth of the sci
entific colleges in the United States and
the growing Importance of the agricul-
tural experiment stations in every State
of the Union to be convinced that there
is something more than a mere quaek
theory back of this scientific extern
sion of the last decade.
1t is true that with increased facili- |
ties for observation the meteorological |
data obtained from this country would |
be of no little value to the United States, |
and by making closer scientific con-
nections with that country Hawaii |
would also derive practical benefit. |
The Weather Bureau of the United |
States is not maintained as a source of |
amusement or to give scientists work
The practical application of the OBJ
servatiOns made have proved invaluable
to the agricultural interests, and each
year is adding, new benefits.
The expense of extending our system
of meteorological observations so as to
create we'll organized department COW
ering all the Islands would be small,
and although the Government would
not realize twenty per cent. on it's in
vestment today, or even tomorrow, it
would be laying good foundation upon
which a statistical structure might be
built that will render a reward in the
near future.
Climate is Hawaiis stock in trade, ,
Ind it becomes our people from purely
business standpoint to post themselves
lpon the details of our atmospheric
apital.
