Willett G Gray's last circular says
that prices for raw sugars are consid-
cred to be entirely too low to continue
much longer. This is encouraging and
it is to be hoped that the rise will be
in evidence about the time the Hawai-
ian crop comes in. The same circular
shows the stocks in the United States
and Cuba together to be 36S.334 tons,
against 4O5, 1874 tons at the same tinse
last wear.

GREAT BRITAIN ~ SAMOA.

In the September issue Of the West
minister Review, an English writer
taking Samoa for example, sets fortf
what power one trading firm may ex'
ert in a national policy. He shows
that the German influence is eentered
in corporation owning 10000 acres
OF land, and if this company could be
bought out the English would have
full control. OF course such a thing is
possible, but il is doubtful if Germany
is keeping its hold on the Samoan ISL
ands simply to further the ends of the
small number of its citizens who have
taken residence and become property
holders. The figures given, however,
furnish food for thought.
In land holdings the British come
next 10 the Germans, with $4,000 acres;
then follow Americans with 21,OOO
acres. and the French with 1900 acres.
In residents Great Britain leads with
I9S. the Germans second with 122, and
Americans third, numbering 46. An
other argument in favor of the British
is that the English language is used
almost exclusively in the courts. News
papers are published, and even the
books OF the German firm are kept in
English.
Finally the religion Of the country
was established by the London Mis-
sionary Society. OF the work of the
missionaries in Samoa he writes:
The missionary of today has become
q schoolmaster rather than an evan
gelist. Thus We arrive at the signif-
cant fact that the Samoan people have
been. and are being entirely educated
by the missions. The utterly incap-
able and impecunious Samoan govern
ment contributes not penny toward
the cost Of teaching its own people
The work has been performed almost
entirely by English money and Eng
lish brains. The London Missionary
Society, first in the field, has done the
giants share, and today it claims as
adherents some $4,000 Samoans. In
the absence of a census, whether reli-
gious or secular, exact figures as to
population are not obtainable. but it is
estimated that the group is inhabited
by about $4,000 natives. Of this num-
Der the Roman Catholics. who have
many workers in the field, may have
5000 converts, the Wesleyans perhaps
an equal number. the remainder be-
longing TO the London Mission Thus,
with the exception of the small French
Catholic Mission, the whole credit OF
Outstanding these islands belong TO
the English, an achievement which
certainly ought 10 rank higher than the
purchase OF q few thousand acres of
land, at a low price, from half savage
native chiefs.
This is a record Of which the Eng
lish may well be proud. but if Great
Britain has lost her prestige in Samoa
It is not at all probable that either Ger
many or the United States will give
way for her to regain it. Even the
small islands of the Pacific are becom-
ing valuable in these days.

MIR. SCHAEFER REPLIES.
Explains Position of the Trustees
of Queens Hospital.

of Queens Hospital.
MIR. EDITOR:-The statement in
your issue of this day, of the proceed
ings of the meeting of the Board of
Health, held last Wednesday, as re-
CARDS the action of the trustees of the
Queens Hospital, is in so far mislead-
ing as the reception at the hospital of
Government patients free of charge
has not been declined by the trustees,
but they declined to recognize foreign
women under the act to mitigate, as
such Government patients. This ac-
ton is the more justified as the Board
of Trustees has not long ago made an
agreement with the Board of Health
by which patients under the act to mi
tigate are to be received, treated and
maintained at the Queens Hospital at
the nominal rate of fifty cents per day,
Hawaiians free of charge.
The enclosure is a copy of the letter
addressed to the Secretary of the Board
of Health on the above subject which
more clearly defines the action taken
by the trustees.
| may add here that the trustees are
fully aware of the conditions placed
upon the appropriation of public funds
in support of the Queens Hospital by
the last Legislature. AS this law went
into force on the Both June, 1896, hos
pital bills against the Government
prior to that date are expected to be
paid, while Government patients from
and after that date are under the new
law to be received and treated at the
Queens Hospital free of charge, to
which objection has been raised.

1t is not probable that the recon-
mendation to grant Liliuokalani a full
pardon will meet with any opposition in
the Council of State or anywhere else.
To all intents and purposes it is a for
mality which means very little to the
public. In fact we see no reason why
full pardons should not be distributed
among all those connected with the
affairs of 1895, an event fast being
relegated to the archives of ancient
history. The lesson taught at that
time has not been forgotten however,
and will not be during the present
generation. Liliuokalani has led a
quiet, non-political life for the past
year and half and since the Govern
ment saw fit to lift the burden of SEN
tence imposed by the military com
mission it might just as well finish the
thing with one last sweep.
