We were talking with Hon. L. J. Williams
a very successful farmer the other day about
the continous wet weather having prevented
the farmers from antng spring oat crop.
When ne said 1t was not too late yet to sow
oats. He said that several years ago he sowed
oats on the 7th of April and made as fine a
crop OF grain ne ever made in his life, and
one Of his neighbors sowed some oats as late
as the 18th OF April and a good crop. Those

a great surplus. but the revenue of the
United States is about three hundred
times as great as that of Hawaii; if our
surplus were in the ratio of that of
Hawaii it would amount to 19,742 300
which is quite a respectable sum.
The young republic has experienced
gain on its revenue from customs,
postal service and water-works. The
water-works of Honolulu appear TO be
national rather than municipal prop
erty. The increase of revenues on Gus

during the past year.
The total of imports was 81 .164 661

81 500 900, of which more than SIS
100000 was in sugar. rather more than
ga per cent. of which were shipped to
this country.

TOPICS
ON BICYCLES.

The arrival of the last Australia
was greeted with sigh of relief from
the whole community. The unusually
long interval between mails had made
people quite anxious, and rumors OF
war and other political disturbances
were flying as thick as leaves in Val
lambrosa. The encouraging news of
the probable passage of the Ding
ley bill, imposing a duty on all
foreign sugars while preserving for
Hawaii nei the advantages of the Reel
procity Treaty, gladdened the hearts
of ALL planters as well as merchants,
who predict a new era of prosperity
and progress for these beautiful Isles
of the Pacific. News was also brought
of the knocking out of Champion Jim
Corbett by his sturdy opponent, Fitz-
simmons.

TO OUR koHALA CORRESPONDENT

Referring again to the letter Of
our Kohala correspondent, pub
Iished OH the 9th inst, we call his
attention to the curious fact that
neither he or the men who think
a. he does have ever seriously
studied the broad question of la
Dor. The all-absorbing topic has
been the best and cheapest method
OF harvesting the present crop.
When the white teamster would
sit III his wagon like lordly jehu
asking if you took him for a
niger" the practical man dis
charged the white man and re
placed him with an Oriental pos
sibly. The practical man took no
thought Of what might be the nj
timate influence upon the country
of his easy policy Of replacement.
1t was the practical men of
California who, when the white
farm hand was not properly do
Gle, began to hire Chinese. The
practice was kept up until the
white employer found he would
himself be run out of business I'M
less he changed his tactics. Then
the reaction came. 1t is the ''prac-
teal experience of the farmers,
which they value so highly, that
has depressed agricultural industry
all over the world. Every agricul-
turaI paper testifies to it. 1t Is the
experimentalist, the agricultural
stations of Germany and the Unit
ed States that elevate the farmers.
These institutions are conducted by
brainv men, who find the average
farmer the most unbusiness-hke
man in the community. The farm
or who laughed at theorizers, now
recognizes them as the men who
can rescue him from the sloughs of
bankruptcy.

Treaty. Mr.. Sherman has himself
announced that he is in Office 10
do the Will Of the President. From
the present outlook it does not
seem probable that Secretary
Sherman will make Il fight
against annexation. provided the
party and the President believe
the time has come TO fulfill the
platform pledge. 1t will be re
membered that during the dis
cuSsiOn of the Treaty i'll 1894 Sen
ator Sherman put himself on rec
ord as against the Treaty. He
maintained that the United States
had Il perfect right TO Pearl Har
Dor, Treaty or no Treaty. He did
not make an extended argument,
and wound up his few remarks
with the statement that he did
not desire to enter into any con
trOVerSy over the matter. If Mr..
Sherman continues to listen to
the voice of the majority, as he
has in the past, there is no rea-
son to believe that Hawaii will
suffer on account of the action of
the President and his Cabinet.

Regarding the labor ri white
men in the tropics we call our
correspondents attention to the
United States census of 1890,
which states that the agricultural
Iaborer in the vast domain of the
Southern States receives a bout
sdouble the wages of the negro for
the same work Why Is this! Be
cause he does better work. And
vet for half a century Southern
planters claimed that the white
man could not work in the South
and went 10 war about it. South
ern planters are finding that they
were mistaken.

that with coolie labor at 81 per

wages. The Louisiana planter has
called science to his aid and finds
that brains" can accomplish more

The local business men who sub
scribed to the fund for Merchants Day
ard those who contributed OF their
time and energy toward the perfection
of the details had hoped, as they went
along, that FIVE hundred out-Of-town
buyers would respond to the invita-
tons sent them, and imagined that
eight or nine hundred was the out
side number Of strangers which could
be looked for.
The actual result was beyond all
hone and expectation. Not less than
eighteen hundred retailers from West
Virginia, Ohio, and Western Pennsyl-
vania availed themselves Of the Oppor-
tuuity to have a good time in the chief
eitv Of the State, and as a result the
resources of the various committees
were taxed TO the utmost, while the
caterers had all they could do to meet
the wants Of the guests. BY midnight
Tuesday night at least one hundred
and twenty-five business men had ar
rived. Of which number between fifty
and sixty registered at the headquar-
ters Of the committee. The earliest
trains yesterday morning brought 9TH
or hundreds. and all during the first
half of the day those to whom 1nvl-
tations had been extended kept coming
until the available room was niled
and the liberal provision which had
been made was exhausted. But stlll
they kept coming until the wholesale
district Of the city was swarming with
people. every store was jammed, and

EVENTS OF THE MORNING.

Wow the Guests Were Cared for On Their
Arrival
When the Register went TO press
Yesterday morning there were at least
one hundred and twenty-five visiting
merchants in the city. nearly sixty Of
whom had already registered at the
headquartersfof the Executive Com
mittee. their names being printed in
the mornirg papers. The headquarters
was opened promptly at six o'clock
Yesterday morning, and before seven
several score Of invited guests had
called BY seven the entire force of
clerks in the employ Of the Executive
Committee were on duty, while Caterer
Joseph Stanton, who was in charge Of
the noon luncheon, had his extensive
stan at work. BY eight o'clock the
number Of strangers who had called
had increased very materially, while
there was a large attendance Of the
local committee on reception. and an
hour later the large building used as
headquarters was q jam Of people,
iand it continued that way till two or
ShaIf past TWO in the afternoon, by
which time the great majority of the
party had gone on the railroad trip
\ through the suburban towns.
At eleven o'clock the office force Of
the committee was working like dry
goods clerks on a bargain day, and
long lines Of men were in front Of the
windows, waiting their turn for the
distribution Of badges. tickets, invita-
tons. etc. At half past eleven the
serving Of luncheon commenced and
was continued for the ensuing three
hours, a total of about thirteen hun
dred meals being served. As the morn
ing trains arrived in the city, the
crowd Of strangers grew denSer, and
soon the red badges Of the invited
guests were TO be seen thickly scat
tered over the central part Of the city,
every street car possessed its quota Of
Sstrangers, and even the most remote
Dortions Of the town were not exempt
from the invasions Of the visiting buy
ers.
At noon the jam about headquarters
was worse than ever. and there was
some little delay Occasioned by the
Adiscovery that the supply Of badges
yfor guests had run cut More were
ordered, and were soon supplied. and
the distribution was resumed. At one
O'Clock the crowd was larger than
-, and the luncheon tables were
