SMALL FARMERS AND ADVER
TISING.

More advertising for Hawaii"
is a string that has been harped on
for years, and every day brings
new evidence that more vigorous
twanging is needed in order that
something may be accomplished to
satisfy the appetite for information
possessed by many capable men of
the United States. One of the re-
cent additions to the ranks of Ha-
waiian coffee growers is a gentle
man from Butte, Montana. This
pioneer states that for several
months he endeavored to obtain
literature of some kind that would
give him a fair idea of what the
country offers to small agricultural
lists. He failed to get anything.
Finally he happened to run across
some tourists who during their trip
around the world had stopped
few weeks in the Islands, and from
these people he secured sufficient
information and encouragement to
convince him that it was safe to
buy a ticket to Honolulu and take
chances on a favorable opening
somewhere in the country. He ar
rived by a recent steamer, has ia
ken up $50 acres of coffee land, and
is not only satisfied but enthusi-
astic over the opportunities offered
in the Olaa district.
This mans experience is only
one of many, and while Hawaii
properly poses as highly progress
sive for tropical country, we
know of nothing that reflects more
absolute and complete discredit up
on the people here than the fact
that American farmers have to go
chasing about as for needle in a
hay stack to find out what sort of
place this is. Chance meeting with
globe trotters is practically what we
are depending on to tell the people
east of the Rocky mountains that
Hawaii is a country where Ameri-
can farmers are wanted-aye, and
where they are needed. The apa-
thy of the Anglo-Saxon citizens to-
ward spreading information abroad
is coming to the point that makes
the situation almost dangerous.

that number one million copies and

United States, then the pamphlets

ty ought to 'take the matter in
hand. When the usefulness of this
document wanes, get out another
one; but whatever may be the
method Of procedure, keep ever
lastingly at it, bring Americans to
Hawaii. In this manner and in this
manner only Will the mooted ques-
ton of how to put new lands in the
hands of proper parties, how to i'm
prove the population of the coun-
try, be settled.

In another column is given a
prediction review of the Ameri-
can beet sugar industry, by Her
bert Myrick, editor of the Ameri-
can Agriculturalist. Mr.. Myrick is
a rather visionary individual who,
Just previous to the election of
1892, started a scheme whereby the
American Agriculturalist was to
take Western farmers into partner
ship and start a gigantic co-opera-
tive beet sugar corporation all
through the West. The scheme
never saw daylight, in consequence
of the timely interference of Chas
r. auckland, a gentleman who
during the sos was a Honolulu
editor. But Notwithstanding Mr.
Myrick's visionary tendencies, he
is in a position to keep in close
touch with American promoters OF
the beet sugar industry, and in
view of the possibilities following
McKinley's election, the expansion
of beet sugar manufacture is a bust
ness proposition that touches pretty
close to Hawaii.

Just now there is considerable
agitation over the increase of Ori-
entails. People ask, ''What are we
going to do about it?" Then they
read up on our national treaties,
and either leave the question I'M
answered or propose some impos-
sible scheme for abrogating this
convention or that treaty. There is
just one thing to do in the present
emergency = bring Anglo-SaXons
to the country, and more particu-
larly Anglo-Saxons of the United
States. Some one asks, How shall
we bring them!" Certainly not by
whispering in some tourists ear
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. are needed, GER
tainly not by sitting around like
dummies and wishing things were
different" American farmers are
not Trilbys and can't be hypno-
TIED, but give them the informa-
ton and they know a good oppor-
tunity when they see it or can read
of it.
Pessimists swear and assert that
American farmers will not come;
"they have better advantages at
home" This may be true, but no
one has yet proved it. New settlers
in the coffee districts are not wall
ing to go home again. If the pes
simistic, can't-be-done idea is to
rule the Anglo-Saxon population,
perhaps after all it will be just as
well for colonies of japanese stu
dents to land from Oriental steam
ers. Old fashioned, self interested
cranks say American farmers will
not come; careful students of the
situation say they must be brought.
And American farmers will come
if an effort of average force is
made to place the agricultural pos
Sibilities of the country before
them.

BRYAN TO TALK AT WASHINGTON
Candidate Bryan is booked to make
a speech in Washington on Saturday,
Sept. 10Th. He will have a large aud
ience, but what he expects to gain by
his one night stand in this city is more
than anybody can imagine. At least
nine-te tenths of his hearers will be nom
voters, and 80 per cent. of the remaining
one-tenth will vote for Mckinley. 1t
will be one day of wind lost for the boy
orator to speak here. and from the looks
of things he cannot afford to waste
words or time in this campaign. But
as he is already beaten, what's the diff
ference where he speaks?
Mr.. Thomas Alvord. Jr., Washington
correspondent of the New York World,
who has been in the middle western
states, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa and
Wisconsin-for the past two months,
has returned to this city. Mr.. Alvord
has always been Democrat. He was
sent out west by the World to take
personal inventory Of the political sit
uatiOn. He canvassed the states above
mentioned very cheerfully and is con-
vinced that they will go for Mckinley
by large majorities. So certain Is he
that Indiana and Illinois will go Re-
publican that he offers to bet 800 to $40
on either state. Mr.. Alvord thinks. how
ever, that Governor Altgeld will be re-
elected, but the electoral vote of Illinois
will go for Mckinley by at least $4,000.
He says Iowa and Wisconsin will so for
the Ohio candidate by increased ma
jorties. He predicts Bryan's defeat in
the country by an overwhelming ma
jority. Other correspondents who have
been in the same states make the same
prediction.

erously contributed $4,000 to the Bryan
campaign fund is none other than

BLOODHOUND HUNT.

Test of the Powers of Dogs.

Crown Point. Ind, Sept. 11.-Many
Chicago men and several thousand 9TH
er visitors at the county fair witnessed
a trial test of Sheriff Hayes blood
hounds. Buck" and "Jlm," this after
noon. Their subject" was Charles
Stewart. negro, who was "treed"
before the eyes of several thousand
shouting people.
Stewart was taken one mile south of
the fair grounds into heavy wood,
where he started back to the grounds,
taking a zig-zag course through every
swamp in that neighborhood. In about
thirty minutes the dogs were turned
loose, and they quickly scented the
trail. They made a dash through the
swamp, but both soon came to stand
still and began yelping. On investi-
eating the sheriff found the dogs had
meddled with a hornets nest and were
worsted. Both bleeding, they again
took up the trail and located Stewart
UP tree in the fair grounds, and were
wild until the sheriff arrived and
chained them. Jim" was severely bit
ten by hornets and is in a very ugly
mood tonight.

GOLD COMES THIS WAY.
An Upward Movement In Prices Is
Expected, Following the Presi.
Dental Election.

New York, Sept. 11.-R. G. Dun &
Co. in their weekly review of trade
tomorrow will say:
Better prospects and relief from
monetary anxiety do not yet bring
larger demand for finishing products,
though large buying of pig iron. wool,
leather, hides, cotton and other ma
terials continue to show growing be
lief that a general upward movement
in prices will come with the replen-
ishment dealers stocks this fall. Most
prices are extremely low, so that
nothing more than an ordinary de-
mand would advance them. But bank
failures at New Orleans cause tenn
porary hesitation. crop returns indi-
cate disappointment in some cotton
and some spring wheat states ana
prices of corn and oats make it un.
profitable to sell at present. the num-
ber of manufacturing works and mines
In operation does not gain, but rather
decreases, reductions of wages are
somewhat numerous. occasionally re-
sisted by strikes. and all these con-
dtons diminish for time the buying
power occasionally resisted by strikes,
and all these conditions diminish fCc
a time the buying power of the people.
While many think general improve
ment cannot come until the election
has removed politica | uncertainties,
others expect soon to see the result an
ticipated in trade. The tide of gold
imports still runs strongly this way,
further engagements lifting the aggra-
gate to $2S,G20,0OO, of which $23.172,0j0
have arrived. The prospect led the
bank of England to raise its discount
rate from to 2ia per cent. and some
selling on foreign account followed in
stock. The New orleans bank failures
were followed by unusual offerings of
cotton bills, and the interior demand
for money also increased, the net outgo
being $3,25O,OO0. Liabilities in CONNER
cial failures for the first week of Sep
tember were s4,O95.59O. against $2,l57.-
751 last year, $l,53S,539 in 1894, and
S5,3l909S in 1893 Failures for the
week have been 315 in the United
States against 1877 last year and Al in
Canada, against "a last year.

threads of the web.
The rains Of Saturday washed the

was found that the Industrious spider
had restored it and the name of Nc
Kinley was palmer than before. Hun

tlon but instantly to be seen even by
those not expecting to see It.
