a complaint made by Judge Denny, in
charge of the arrangements for the
Republican delegation from Kentucky
to the st. Louis convention, against a
second class hotel that had asked him

The horrible dust yesterday brings
so mind the fact that the street sprink-
ling contract has not been let as yet.
The letting of this contract should not
be deferred until the season is so far
advanced that would-be bidders can
have no opportunity to supply them
selves with carts and teams. The time
90 receive bids for the sprinkling of
the streets is before they need it. When
that time comes it must be done and
the man who may be prepared.to do it
can practically demand his own price.

According to reports printed in the
leading Democratic newspapers of the
country, a careful canvass indicates
that the free silver Democrats will
have a majority of at least a hundred
at Chicago. There is every reason to
believe that they will be in a humor
to use their majority for all that they
can make it realize for their cause.
The above is from the Boston
Journal. While statements Of that
kind are cheering enough out west, it
must be very trying to the single gold
standard Democrats in the east.

to mind that the Hawaiian crop
is, on an average, eighteen months
in growth, while the crops of Louis
lana and other sugar producing
sections occupy the ground only
nine months. The nine months
crop Of Louisiana cane averages
26OO pounds of sugar to the acre.
In this connection it is interest
ing to note the average sugar yields
in the best sugar countries as given
from the latest British consular re-
ports. Germany leads with an av-
erage of 1880 pounds of sugar to
the acre; next follows Belgium,
with 1000 pounds; then France,
with 1900 pounds; Austria, with
1855, and finally Russia, with an
average of 1742 pounds to the acre.
Hawaii has an advantage in the
biennial crop as against the an
nual crops. of competitors, but
the truths told in official fgnres
demonstrate that we are not so far
above our competitors as current
rumor might lead many to sup
pose, and we would suggest that
when the enthusiasts are filed

sugar production, they temper
their statements with the facts as
displayed by unquestionable fig
ures-fgures that show a healthy
which is more to be de-
sired than a record of unreliable

SUGAR PRODUCTION PER ACRE.

When the enthusiastic people O
Hawaii want to enlarge on the ex
cellence of this country as a lanC
for producing sugar, one of the frs
things that is Haunted to the breeze
is the remarkable yield of ten tons
to the acre that has been recorded
in a few districts of the islands
We appreciate fully the spirit in
which these statements are made
and know full we'll that the inten-
ton is to spread abroad good i'm
preston of the sugar-produclng
capacity of the country. Such ex-
tensive use has been made of these
extreme figures, however, that an
incorrect impression has gone
abroad, and. while it may, even in
it's falsity, prove passing benefit
in one way or another, it finally
does the commercial interests far
more harm than good.
Planters of Louisiana, for in
stance, do not have an especially
friendly feeling toward our recip-
rocity, and a coalition of Hawaiian
and American interests when they
are laboring under the impression
that Hawaiian lands produce ten
tons of sugar to the acre, while
they have to struggle to get one ton
from the same area. Aside from
the direct injury such misrepre-
sentation may do, it may be put
down as a general rule that over
sanguine representations are not
beneficial in the end.
Professor Maxwell, in his posi-
ton as director of the experimental
station established by the Hawai-
ian Sugar Planters Association,
has come to Know the injury that
has been and may be wrought by
false statements, and has taken
steps to obtain an official figure of
the average yield OF sugar per acre
for the manufacturing season OF
1S94-95, with the following result:
Number of acres of cane man
ulacUeu .---....' -. 49, 49,. ff,o9S2
Number of tons 5000 lDs.) of
sugar made. ...... 153, 4l93
Number of pounds of sugar
made per acTe..-....... ......... 6,472
This statement is the only abs6-
lutely accurate official statement
that has ever been issued from the
country, as it includes every pound
of sugar sent from the mill, whether
exported or used by the plantation
laborers. It will thus be seen that
while there are lands which will
give wonderful yields our general
average drops to about three tons
to the acre. Itshould also be called
