Effectiveness.

A committee of the Dallas county
commissioners have visited our city
to investigate the character of the
asphalt street pavements laid in the
county and city. There has been a
limited amount of street put down,
but the samples have proven that the
the material is the best in the world.
These streets are built from natural
rock ashphalt from the Cline mines,
100 miles west of this city, a material
pronounced by experts to be the finest
in the world.
The streets We're put down in the
very midsummer and have withstood
ali the tests of climate. The Texas
ashphalt is the most superior article
on the market Of the world.

hOff's account of the sugar indus
try of these Islands, the planter
who was out of debt. could do
'fairly WE'LL" with the price of SUI
gar at s cents per pound. The
cost of labor. at that time was
about 81 per month. At present
with the rate of wages, 30 per
cent. higher than the rate of 1873.
and the price of sugar consider
ably less than one half of the
price at that period, the dividends
of the plantations are-tell it not
in Gath.
There can be no better illustra-
ton of what the intelligent brain
of man can do.
When the planter calls for
"cheap labor" the history of the
plantations show that .cheap
labor" cuts small figure in the
process of sugar making. The
planter proves the case against
himself out of his own bOOkkeep-
ing. On this theory, every planta-
ton should have closed years ago.
The planters only repeat the
experience of the American wheat
growers. Turn back to the re-
cords of wheat growing, in the
"Sixties" and you will find the
American farmers sOlemnly de-
claring that if wheat fell to 81 per
bushel, the aims houses would be
crammed with their emaciated
bodies, and the manufacturers
would close their factories fol
want of markets. The same farm
ers, since that period did not "gC
to the wall" when wheat sold al
20 cents per bushel, and now Kan
sas is "rotten with money" whe1
wheat reaches a dollar per bushel
Great was Diana of the Ephesi
JAMS, greater still is the skilled
brain of man. The stupid farmer
holds up his horny hand and says
"What can I do with that?" Tn,
trained farmer points to his brain
and says: "What cannot I d.
with that?"

JUDGE CALDWELL.

We present in another column
some notes regarding the services
of Judge Henry Clay Caldwell,
Circuit Judge for the Eighth Cir
cult of the United States Court of
Appeals. He is now, owing to ill
health, residing in this city. His
character as a jurist, is eminent
in the large circuit over which he
presides. Owing to the vast
amount of railway construction
within his cirucit, much of which
has been done by irresponsible
contractors, and Wall street spec
nlatOrs. he has been charged with
the decision of many intricate
questions involving corporation
law. He was among the first OF
those holding judicial power, to
break up the practice of bank
rupt railway corporations that de-
feated the payment OF their obll-
cations by conducting their prop
critics in the name OF the Court.
The abuse of the judicial power, in
this respect had become almost
intOlerable i'm some States. The
railroad wreckers counted on the
aid Of the Courts in promoting
their speculations, and the Courts
gave it, under the influence of pre-
cedent. and not with the intent OF
defeating justice.
Judge Caldwell in his published
addresses takes rather gloomy
views of the supreme power OF thu
money lending corporations. Blu
we believe, on the whole, tina
there are always social influences
at work, which naturally tend t.
defeat that power, without an.
violent interference.
Judge Caldwell belongs to ;
very important class of men il
the great Western States, who ar
carefully and wisely building up ;
system of Jurisprudence, which i
cementing the national life on tn
one hand, and on the other, care
fully preserving that line, not al
WAYS very distinct, which mark
off the State sovereignty.

BRAINS AND SUGAR PLANTING

The returns stating the number
of laborers employed on sugar
producing plantations made to
the Planters Association, and the
returns made of the number of
tons of sugar produced, disclose
the rapid progress made in the
great industry. There can be but
one conclusion drawn from a com
parisOn of the returns 1t demon
strates the power of educated in
telligence and skill in developing
material resources, and to some
extent it is a guarantee of the
permanency of the sugar industry
on these Islands. 1t is clear
enough that the doctrine of the
Survival of the fittest" will in
time, apply with terrible energy
to the sugar producers of the
world, and the Hawaiian Plan
tiers will be put on their mettle, if
they hope to survive. If they are
as successful in solving the labor
question, as they are in solving
some of the agricultural ques-
tons, they will sit on the higher
benches of the select ''fittist."
The sugar product of 1890 was
146,174 tons, produced by 1889
laborers. Here is a product of
about q tons per laborer. The
crop of 1895 was 225,S2S, which
was produced by 2O,095 laborers,
or each laborer produced about
II 1-16 tons. The increase in five
years is apparently over SO per
cent, for each laborer. This is
however, not a correct statement,
for a 5O per cent. increase IN the
effective power of the hand labor
would be astonishing.
The remarkable increase is due
to the better Or more scientific use
of the planters brains. This de-
mands better machinery, better
cultivation of the soil, better
knowledge of the capacity of soils,
better economy in every depart
ment of the process of making SUI
gar from the seed cane to the
crystals.

then sores broke out behind his ears and

restrain his hands to keep him from
scratching the sores. We were induced
to try Hoods Sarsaparilla, and in q short
time he had more life. He improved rap
