The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1896-04-08

| The New York Legislature has at last
| succeeded in passing the Raines liquor
bill, which substitutes a liquor tax for
the usual liquor license The new law
wipes out the local excise board and
in the hands of State officials. Any per-
son may conduct a saloon who will pay
an annual tax ranging. from $500 for
the city of New York to 500 for commu-
mites of less than 1900 inhabitants.
One-third the revenue from the State
Liquor Department goes to the State,
and tWo-thirds to the municipality in
which it is collected. Local option is
granted to towns, but not to cities, and
no new saloon is to be established with
in 200 feet of a dwelling house without
the consent of two-thirds of the prop
erty owners within the distance named.

ously, and has caused several Republi-
can members to bolt the party caucuses.
1t may be regarded, however, as a step
toward prohibition, provided the law is
enforced. In New York City it increases
the yearly expense of each liquor dealer
about $500, and will result in cutting
down the number of places where liquor
is sold. 1t also places a responsibility
on the property holders, and will serve
to show up in the proper light certain
property holders who are loudly for
temperance, and rent their buildings to
liquor dealers. Even Neal Dow, the
father of the prohibition movement,
came within the category at one time.
and it is fair to suppose that New York
is not without it's representatives of
class who do not care to sacrifice finan-
cial interest to a question of moral |
principle.

made with degree OF circumstantialitY
that argues thorough knowledge of the
situation, and it is at least partially
confirmed by the action of the Sugar
Trust, reported last week, in buying
up vast quantities of sugar in Germany,
Egypt and elsewhere. 1t is the most
convincing argument for the success of
the revolution that could be had, for
it shows that the insurgents control

Now that the time of the adjourn

Now that the time of the adjourn
ment of the United States Congress is
assuming definite shape, the people of
Hawaii will watch with renewed inter
est the progress of the cable bill. The
scene has added a new complication,
which may jeopardize the success OF
both companies in obtaining financial
assistance from the United States. 1t
esems clear that the Foreign Relations
Committee in both the House and Sen
ate favors the general scheme Of laying
an American cable to Hawaii, but it re-
mains an open question whether the
ardor of the opposition companies, to-
Rether with the unnatural economy
that generally pTecedes a presidential
election, will not result in the measure
being put over to the next session of
Congress. Private advices state that
the cable bill was made the special or
der" for the first of April in the House,
thus bringing it up for decisive action
from six to eight weeks previous to ad-
journment. 1t now remains to be seen
whether the advocates of the bill can
succeed in accelerating the motion of
the legislative wheels sufficiently to
gain an appropriation from the present
Congress.

UNITED STATES CONTRACT LAW.
Congress.

A recent Interpretation of the United
States alien contract law, made by
Commissioner General Stump of the
immigration Bureau and endorsed by
the Secretary of the Treasury, will be
received with no little interest in this
country, where the contract law stands,
in some minds, as a disagreeable bar
rier in working out the annexation
problem.
Several English mechanics were de-
aimed in New York on the ground that
they were contract laborers. Investiga-
ton showed that they were sent to the
country to set up cotton machinery
made by parties in England and sold
to cotton mill men in New England.
The machinery is new to the United
States, and required men particularly
acquainted with it's construction to set
it up and put it in operation. The Com
missioner of immigration finally allow
ed the English contract mechanics to
land and proceed with their work on
condition that the original contracts be
abrogated and new ones issued, par
ticularly setting forth the machinery
to be erected, to whom sold, and strict
Iy limiting the work to be done The
men also agreed to leave the country
Immediately on completion of the work
contracted for.
This Interpretation of the contract
law compares favorably in some of its
essential points with the conditions IN
der which the Chinese plantation la
borers are now coming to this country. |
1t would require very slight change |
in our present laws to bring plantation
laborers to Hawaii under the same con- /
conditions which the English me- |
chanics were allowed to go to the New /
England States. The decision has at /
least shown that the United States con-
tract law is elastic and may be stretch
ed TO fit existing conditions

CUBAN SUGAR CROP.

Although General Weyler made bold
statements as to his ability to quen the
Cuban rebellion sufficiently to allow the
Cuban sugar planters to put good
proportion of their usual product on the
market, up to the present time he has
made a signal failure, and the amount
of the estimated shortage may be
counted upon which means continued
good prices for Hawaiian sugar. The
Philadelphia Ledger sizes up the stu
alton as follows:
What appears to be a carefully COM
piled review of the Cuban sugar crop
shows that the total amount made up
to March 1, at which time the grinding
season was half over, was 3,29S tons,
as against 319, 3"6 tons at the same time
The Somerset reporter. [volume] (Skowhegan, Me.) 1868-1909, 1896-12-15

The revival of our domestic sheep in
dustry. while promising, will not reach
its best development until the wooden
factory is established near where the
wool is grown, says American Agricul-
turist, also authority for the following:
1t took the south 80 years to learn that
it could manufacture its cotton into
cloth at profit instead of shipping it
all to the north and foreign countries,
to be there manufactured. just so the
great areas i'll our western, southwestern
and middle southern states, adapted to
the production of wool on large scale,
ought to establish factories in which to
manufacture their wool.
At present the New England states
produce less than per cent of the an
nual wool clip of the United States, but
the wooden mills of New England con-
sumo 56 per cent of the country a total
wool product. Most of the wool growing
states have abundant water power for
wooden factories, and there is no reason
why this industry should not be devel-
oped in them. 1t will be some years be-
fore such newly established wooden
mills can expect to turn out the finer
grades of cloths, but they can make the
great bulk of the common and coarser
woolens, while eastern mills can be de-
pended upon to make the fine grades.
Such is the present development in cot
ton manufacturing. and it is important
to our farmers that the wooden industry
should be worked in the same way.

Points For the Consideration of Farmers

Points For the Consideration of Farmers
Having This Work to Do.
Thing is expensive work and all eff
fort should he made to cheaper it as
much as possible-that is, the mechan
ical part. 1t cannot be cheapened by u.s.
ing too small tile or tile of poor quality
put down too shallow. But the time of
doing the work has much to do with
cheapening it, doing it when the soil Is
in proper condition to handle easily, do
ing it when other work more necessary
does not crowd, doing it with the right
kind of tools. Thus writes contributor
to the Ohio Farmer, who also furnishes
the following suggestions:
If "a team and pillow can be used to
hasten the work and save man work, it
is cheaper. Where spades and shoyels
are used they should be the best and
adapted to the work III quality and
strength. In purchasing tools it is Wis
dom to secure the lightest consistent
with strength and quality. 1t is folly to
lift few ounces extra weight III "A
spade or shovel hundred of times day
when lighter tool will do the work
better Sometimes the use of grind
stone for few minutes will save mus
Gle, and grindstone is much the cheaper
of the two. And always a thin spade
will cut through the tough clay far cas-
Ter than "a thick one When we purchase
tools to be used continuously, as u spade
is used when cutting u ditch, we use the
scale to detect difference in weight, Civ
ing the preference to the lighter tool if
the quality is lot deficient. 1t is not al
ways the heaviest handle or even tho
heaviest blade IN tool that will stand
the most work.
A properly adjusted grade line will
save handling much soil and enable the
workman to lay the tile as fast as the
ditch is finished, and il Is unsafe to fin
ish digging very long line before lay
ing the tile. Making tomorrow the most
convenient time to lay the tile has often
caused much longer delay on account of
a rain or frost during the night, spelling
the ditch by the sluinping in of the sides
and requiring the work to be done over
again. 1t took two lessons of this kind
fully to impress the Importance of this
matter on our minds.
When the weather is changeable,
freezing and thawing by turns it is of
ten advisable to take off the top spade
while the soil is III good condition to
work. Then when frozen in the morn
ings, the work can go on without wait
ing for thaw. When this is done, the
crumbs should not be thrown out till
ready to complete the work, for they
ing. and then, too, freezing and thaw-
ing will simply cause as much more
loose soil to fall into the cutting. All
these points are worthy of consideration
when one has this work to do.

Moisture In Cellars.

As IA rule, says the Iowa Homestead
western cellars are too dry to winter
fruits and vegetables in. Vegetables,
therefore, are best buried in the earth
or i'll IA special cave for them, and where
apples are stored III any considerable
quantities special cellar is necessary
Recently, when accompanying an ex-
pert who was examining some fine fruits
III his cellar, the authority quoted OBJ
served that u hand brought water down
and sprinkled the floor quite thorough
ly before closing the cellar door. After
an all night airing during cool night
he said he found this absolutely neces-
sary i'll order that apples should keep
we'll during tho fall, when dry air was
the rule. 1t kept the fruit from shrivel-
ing and they continued to be more
plump until freezing weather came He
tried to avoid such degree of moisture
and conditions of warmth as would
cause mold, but aimed to keep the cell
lar damp and rs cool as possible.

retrospect in the words she has sent:
Now that wise men are able to measure al
most everything let some computers of forces
tell US to what extent peace and good will
among men are enlarged and extended by the
observance Of the three hundred and fifty
ninth day Of the year. Could this estimate be
given ia we should perhaps be surprised to
find how much the other 3A days feel the in.
