WHITE BARRIERS ORGANIZING.
The Legislature TO be Asked 60 Help
Them Against the japanese.

The Legislature TO be Asked 20 Help
Them Against the japanese.
The white BARRIERS of the city
have finally come to the conclu-
sion that they must do something
to stop the loss of trade conse-
quent on japanese competition or
else close up their shops.
They appointed a committee to
take the matter in hand and de.
wise some means to better trade.
This will probably take the form
of a petition to the Legislature
asking that the licenses of barber
shops be raised to a higher figure.
The sum of 500 per year has
been mentioned as being the an
nual license the white BARRIERS are
willing to pay, providing their
Oriental competitors are made to
pay the same.
The numerous Japanese barber
shops which have sprung into ex-
istence in the last few months
have made sad inroads into the
receipts of the shops run by white
men, and this condition of affairs
is steadily growing worse. With
their expenses and the wages they
pay to journeymen they cannot
compete with japanese who will
shave for five cents and cut a
mans hair for ten.
There is still another reason for
their loss of trade which hurts as
much as competition in their own
line, which is that owing to Jap
anese competition in other lines
the white mechanic is compelled
to economic in many ways to
make up for loss of work. One
of the first expenses he knocks off
when he is out of work is shaving.
He either shaves himself
or lets his beard grow,
but in any event the white barber
is the loser.
Some white mechanics patron
ize japanese barber shops, but it
is to the credit of Honolulu me-
chanics that there are not many
of them. There should be none,
for the veriest idiot among them
must see that every dime paid to
a japanese barber is so much
bread and butter taken out of the
mouth of some white man and
probably out of those of his vile
and children also.

Results of Honesty.

"My watch is giving me the ut
most satisfaction; L actually be-
lieve it does not vary a second
during the week."
Pleasant remarks these. Just
the kind of balm a matchmaker
needs occasionally to keep up
his spirits. For you know
working all day on "a high
stool, a glass firmly screwed
into one eye, looking at objects
so minute it takes microscope
to distinguish them, is not the
pl, asantest occupation which
could fall to the lot of man.
So it's no wonder fellow
gets all out of sorts OCCASION
ally, and then it's the time a
few remarks like the above
does what all the patent medi-
cine in the world could not ac-
complish, cheers up, makes
things look brighter, the next
job goes all the smoother.
Speaking ofthe above watch:
1t was an old one. The wearer
had used it steadily for forty
years. IL had run enough; had
revolved it's wheels So long aud
steadily, that at last it was
tired out. The pivots were so
worn, the wheels just wobbled
and wobbled. then stopped al
together. What was to be
done? Throw it away? Get a
new one. Yes, but the wearer
valued it for it's associations, it
was as dear to him as his best
friend;so nothing would do but
build it all over as it were, re-
new the parts, put some go
into it. That we accomplished
it to the entire satisfaction of
the owner, his remarks above
would surely leave no room for
doubt. And we can do the
same with yours, sometimes
they 60 little too far, and the
cost for reconstruction is too
much, but generally no work
is too intricate for us. 1t is
that which we brag about,
complicated work is our strong
hold, Isn't it reasonable now
to suppose that we are better
able to do your less intricate
work? Wouldn't it be safer to
give us the custody of your
watch altogether, no matter
what the trouble, and have a
feeling of certainty as to its
treatment

March ID, 1890.


A church congregation down
in Sanders, KY, was dismissed
most summary under un-
pleasant circumstances two
Sundays since. Right in the
middle of the preachers dis
course there bolted into the
church through the half-open
door what appeared to be a
black and white cat, closely
followed by a yellow dog. Cat
and dog ran swiftly down the
middle aisle to the platform.
The preacher taken unawares,
did the natural thing, kicked
at the cat, hit it, and landed it
squarely in the middle of the
congregation. Then it turned
out that the cat was skunk.
The rest of the story is left to
the imagination of the reader.
This week we want to call
your attention especially to the
ALASKA REFRIGERATOR and
give you a few items concern
ing its construction.
To give strength and dura-
bility, an inside body, or frame
is made of we'll dried, matched
wood, to which hardwood
cleats are solidly nailed. Upon
these cleatS the outer body, or
frame, is built.
The inner frame is made
from perfectly odorleSS wood,
and is lined with zinc. Po-
lished as bright as a mirror,
presenting very clean and at
tractive appearance.
All exposed wood, as under
the lids and about the doors,
is odorless tulip poplar,
thoroughly shellaced. This
makes the Refrigerator clean
and sweet.
Between the outer and inner
walls there is an inch and a
half space filled with PURE
CHARCOAL. There is nothing
so good in every way for fill
ling the space between the
two walls of a Refrigerator as
Pure Charcoal.
The locks are entirely new
in principle, and are, without
exception, the best ever used
on a Refrigerator. They will
keep the door closed perfectly
tight, even if they were left
one-eighth inch loose.
The hinges are very strong,
beautiful in design, and made
expressly for The ALASKA
REFRIGERATOR.
All the trimmings are solid
brass, dipped finish, this being
the latest style in fine brass
goods.
From the results of tests
made during the past three
years, we are convinced that
the ALASKA is the best Re-
frigerator in the market, in
construction, in power to pre-
serve perishableS, in economy
of ice, and, in fact, in all the
points necessary to make them
tirSt-claSS in every respect.

THE SUGAR CROP.

In the Planters Monthly for
March, Prof. VIM. Maxwell, Dir.
ector of the Bureau and Expert
mental Station of the Hawaiian
Sugar Planters Association, gives
the following official statement of
the sugar crop of the Hawaiian
Islands as set forth by the total
t suit Of the manufacturing sea-
son of 1894-95: "TEe Hawaiian
crop is on an average eighteen
mouths in growth, and is thus
biennial, when compared with the
annual crops of Louisiana and
beet sugar countries, which occu-
Ply the ground only nine months.
The results are given as follows:
Number of acres of
cane manufactured. 47,3995
Number of tons 5000
lOS.) ...... ......... l50, 4l93
"Number of pounds of
sugar made per acre. 6,472."
Upon which the editor of the
Monthly remarks: "The Custom
House reports have heretofore
formed the basis for the statement
of the sugar yield published, at
the close of each calendar year.
These reports, however, only
show the number of pounds of
sugar exported, and do not
take into account the home
consumption. For the period
given in the Experiment Station
October l, 1894, to Sept. 30,
lS95-the Custom House report of
exports is as follows:
October | to December 81, 1894,
2l,5S2,96 lbs; January | to
March 81, 1895, 100, 509,9S1 lbs;
April L to June 30, 1895, 136, $780,
1913 lbs; July l to Sept. 30, 1895,
22,594,534 lbs. Total for twelve
months, 2S9,97S,2 S2 lbs.
This shows total Of 144,969
tons Of sugar exported as against
a total of l53,4l9l tons of sugar
manufactured, a difference of
S,4509 tons, or 16,901 900
pounds. Domestic consumption
must be charged with part of this
excess, perhaps one-quarter of it.
The remainder may be accounted
for by the custom which prevails
on some plantations of including
the weight of the bags as well as
that of sugar when shipped from
the factory to Honolulu"
If, rs has been proposed, the
plantations were taxed on their
actual output, the past years crop
would yield S92,05l, almost ex-
actly the same amount that in
dividuals pay in direct taxes on
property, according to the report
of the Minister of Finance, the
amount paid by corporations be-
ing $4,000 and odd. The matter
of taxation as related to the pro-
duction of the country's chief
staple cannot, however, be intel
ligently discussed so long as the
Government, with the connivance
of the peoples representatives,
refuse to give the necessary in
formation to the public.

Notes of 10th Houses.

The Great Seal matter is still

The Senate Judiciary Commit.

afternoon Minister Damon's pro-
posed License law,

They met with the fate which
should be allotted all anonymous

that the sending of anonymous

Former slave Market.

On benches so placed as to command
a good view were the buyers, coarse
looking Turks, whose calm, searching
gaze seemed to take in every detail.
The merchant conducting the sale
stood before them, talking and gesticu-
.ating with great yehemence. He turn
ed to n Of the pens, which was filled
with young Circassian women, most Of
whom were very handsome. They
were seated close together on the
ground, in an attitude of ~listless de-
spondency, their white garments flow
ing around them, and az they gazed up
at me with their sad, dark eyes, l felt
painfully how they must envy the free
ard happy stranger who came to look
on them in their infamy and misery.
The slave trader came forward, fol-
lowed by a phlegmatic-looking Turk,
and, seixing one of the women by the
arm, forced her to stand up before this
man, who, 1t appeared, wished 10 buy
her. He proceeded to inspect her, very
mucn in the same name as he might

his decision was unfayorable; he turn
ed with a -contemptuous movement of
the head. and the slave merchant, in n
rage, thrust back the unfortunate girl,
who sank down trembling among her

Welcoming a River.

In the long coastal desert of Peru,
which Is some 1000 miles in length, but
only 100 miles broad at its widest part,
the rivers, Major A. II. Sears says, dis
appear in the dry season and begin to
flow again In February or March when
lain falls In the Cordilleras. One of
the most important Of these rivers is
the Piura. the return Of whose waters
Is welcomed with great rejoicings by
the Inhabitants of its banks. About
the time when 1.-THE coming OF the
liver" is expected, eager Inquiries as to
the progress of the water are put to ali
I,ersons who chance to come from the
head of the valley, and when the water
approaches the town of Piura process
sions 60 out to meet 1t, and escort it's
first trickling stream down the dry
river bed with music and fireworks. At
the outskirts OF the city thousands of
people greet its arrival. The valley Of
the Piura Is said by Major Sears to pro-
duce excellent cotton, although It's pos.
slbillties In this respect are not well de-
veloped for lack of systematic iri iga-
ton. Once In a period of from five To
seven years rain falls upon the coastal
plain, whereupon, with magic ouick-
ness, grass and flowers cover 1t. and
cattle browse In Its pastures, but In a
few weeks everything withers, and des-
olation relgns once more upon the bar
rem sands.
