The coinage Of gold will not be greatly in
creased by the proceeds Of the bond sale, as
most Of the gold paid for the bonds, even
that returned from Europe, has been in
United States gold coin. The government
now holds gold coin against all outstanding
gold certificates, and nearly an even $780,
100000 in coin besides. This is exclusive Of
about 285O0.O00 in gold bullion, which might
be coined If 1t were desirable. 1t is the res
ent policy of the treasury to carry certain
amount Of bullion to meet export demands
in preference to coin. Hardly any coinage

EWd flduLdIlOu Is perhaps dS SOOQ an
object lesson in the line of agricultural
development on this island as can be
desired. It is then, in this connection
only necessary TO add that / know Of
10000 acres of superior sugar land, by
actual survey, on this island between
Honolulu and Kahuku, witch can and
ought now to be under cultivation. The
water to be had is abundant for all
the land, which is capable of producing
four times as much sugar as is produced
by the Eva Plantation, and quite as
profitably.
To say nothing of the taxes TO be de-
rived by the Government from such
development of the sugar lands, and the
possible development of the now very
promising coffee industry, I leave it to
the good common sense of this COM
munity whether we should lock all of

An Unequal Race.

There was rather an amusing
scene on Palace Walk, outside the
Executive building, early yester-
day afternoon. A drunken native
suddenly got it into his head that
he had been abused by certain
Chinaman walking about half a
block in front of him, and letting
forth a below he started to run
in the Chinaman' direction. This
individual started on a run, and
the native tried his best to keep a
respectable pace, but whatever he
had drunk made him deviate from
the straight path. The poor Chi
naman was frightened to death,
and had to sit on a neighbOring
doorstep to recover.

A Big Drained Major.

An amusing incident occurred while
a company of a certain battalion sta
toned in one of our garrison towns were
going through their musketry training.
Owing to a strong wind blowing from
the right, the bullets kept falling to the
left of the target. An old major, who
was in charge at the ranges, came over
to the color sergeant and inquired the
cause of the bad shooting. On being
told that there was too much wind
blowing from the right, causing the
shots to fall wide, he astonished the
sergeant by asking, "Wouldn't it be
good idea if the targets were moved
more to the left?" The color sergeant
barely restrained smile.-London TIT
