FACTORIES WANTED.

There are many growths in
these islands, fruit-bearing and
food co. bearing, whose branches,
leaves, stalks or husks contain
fibre capable of being manufac-
tured into various fabrics, cordage,
thread, etc. All this raw material
now goes TO waste when it might
be made to at least bear part Of
the expense of agriculture for the
present marketable products.
Factories to work up this
waste would also create an object
in the raising of exclusively fibre
plaats, such as ramie and sisal,
and plants for drugs used in med
icine and tie arts, such as the
castor bean, canaigre, etc. Manu-
featuring enterprises i'll addition
to the creditable ones in wood and
the metals, which have prospered
here for a long time, have better
chance OF being established now
than ever before. The great increase
OF power from given amount Of
fuel, through its conversion into
electricity, has gone far toward
simplifying the problem, and be-
sides there are other motors in
successful use cheaper than steam.
Complete plants of machinery for
extracting the fibre from pineap-
pie, sIsal and other leaves, ramie
tree bark, cocoanut husks, etc,
are now advertised by transatlau-
tic manufacturers, together with
machinery for spinning and weav-
ing the prepared fibre into all
sorts and grades of cordage and
fabrics. Why cannot some of the
surplus Hawaiian capital lying
around idle, or being sent abroad
for investment, be used in estab-
fishing factories for developing
both waste and latent agricultural
resources to the fullest extent? Let
some of our active and progressive
spirits tuake move in the matter.

HOT WEATHER.

This is a presidential cleo
ton year and things are red
hot all over the United States.
Even Old Sol himself seems
to have stirred up his internal
fires and put on a few extra
logs, if we may Judge by
newspaper accounts of the
terrific heat in Chicago, New
York and other big cities.
The heat engendered by the
discussion of the silver queS-
ton and other campaign issues
has caused the political pot to
boil to such an extent that the
lid will blow off and the bot
tom fall out. Republicans are
hot in the collars, the Demo-
Gratis would be if they were
in the habit OF wearing any,
while the Populists, having
got it where the chicken got
the axe, don't need any collars
and have wilted away. This
is about the condition of af-
fairs which usually precedeS
an election for President in the
United States.
But here in little Hawaii
things are not quite so bad
although the silver question
affects a good many of us.
Whether we are getting a por-
ton of the hot weather that
Chicago had no further use
for or whether the tail end of
Candidate Bryan's eloquence

take the cake, or anything else

They are the leading refrigera-

THAT MURDER IN THE COUNTY,


MoRTIE WHARTON, q colored youth
was shot and fatally wounded Oct. 81,
1895 in the neighborhood of the Expo
sition Grounds by lack leg'' consta-
bic named A. G. GREEN. The unfor-
tunate sufferer died at the almshouse,
Monday 2nd inst. at about 80 p. m.
This white constable gave as his ex-
cuse that he thought WHARTON was an
escaped convict. He called upon him
to halt and upon his failing so to do,
he fired upon him with the above re-
suit. WHARTON had committed no
crime, and therefore was under no OBJ
legation whatever to halt when GREEN
made such q demand upon him.
He wore not the garb of the peniten-
tiary convict and was unarmed. Not
as much as pocket knife has been al
legged to have been found upon his
person.
What excuse, then could there be for
this murderous attack on him.
His death was caused by desire on
the part of A. G. GREEN for little
"cheap John" notoriety. He wanted
the credit for having either captured
or killed a Negro convict.
Who believes he would have fred
upon white man in that manner?
A never-ready coroner's jury hasten
ed to exonerate him OF any criminal
responsibility.
The murdered youth was subjected
to the most excruciating agony. and
has passed away, and his murderer is
permitted to walk unmolested through
Henrico County with that same deadly
revolver, seeking for convicts to kill.
and citizens may we'll beware of him in
his meanderings.
No county in the state is more sad
ly afflicted than is Henrico with it's
petty constables. They are menace to
the peacefulness and safety of the pass
ers by.
1t is unfortunate that this man is not
sent home to wash clothes and do odd
jobs around his country cabin, instead
Of wandering about in the bushes to
shoot what will not return the compli-
nent, and to butcher that which seems
most disposed to run away.

THE BosToS CoURANT complains that
the GLOBE of that city erred in publish
ing the offensive charges concerning
Mr.. 1. B. ALLEN after the election in
stead of doing so before. The position
which this Afro-American has secured
is that of membership on the Gov
ernor's Council, the highest position
ever held by q colored man in the
State.
Records of men in politics seem to
have but little weight if we are to judge
by some of the white men elevated to
office. Senator Quay has been pictur-
ed as every thing that is bad and the
late lamented JAMES G. BLAINE met
with similar treatment. The distin-
guished Senator JOHN SHERMAN has
not escaped these calumnies and we do
not see why Mr.. ALLEN should worry
himself about the matter.
White men elected this colored man
and the responsibility is upon them.
CoIored men would do better to
maintain dignified silence than to join
in the condemnation of one of their
race who has certainly done something
remarkably good, even though his
enemies charge that he has at some
time been guilty of serious indiscre-
tions.

from that Of the Apostles in that he
advocates the care of the body, while
the former advises and provides for
the welfare Of the soul.
