The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1897-09-03

The Treasury statement for the
month of August is published to-
day. 1t shows balance upon cur
rent account of $85,4o2 IL as
against a similar balance in August
1896, of $4o, o32. IS. This is very
fair showing and is on the face of it
ample reply to those who talk
about our bankrupt treasury.
There are few countries in the
world which take the trouble to lay
befor the tax payers a monthly
statement of the national business,
and strangers who visit the Islands
comment most favorably upon this
open manner of conducting public
affairs. 1t will be noticed that the
receipts from the Tax Bureau are
$7,794 90 as against SIC, 4o4. 90 for
the same month of 1906 Inquiry
at the Bureau shows that this is
caused by the change in the tax
law which changed the time of col
lection of personal taxes from July
to January. Most OF these taxes
came in in February and March,
while last year the heavy collections
were made in July and August.

The morning journal seems to
find fault with the General Super
intendent of Census because he
published the facts and did not color
his figures. A greater compliment
could not be paid. The truth is
ever the best arm to use, and a
careful study of the census tables
will certainly awake in every sensi-
bic PERSONS mind strong desire to
save this country from Asiatic
dominance. 1t also explodes the
theory that the Republic is driving
the Hawaiian to the wall, for it
shows that under its rule the Ha-
waiian real estate owners have
increased from 1921 in 1890 to 1895
in 1896, gain of 724. A careful
reader of the Census will be salts
fed that annexation is the only
thing that can save Islands.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1897-09-03

By taking the excess of passen-
ger arrivals since September, 1896,
to July Ist, 1897, some idea of the
population Of the Islands almost to
date may be formed. Last Septem-
Der the population numbered Ioe,-
o2o. The excess of arrivals over
departures for the 4th quarter of
1896 was $3.50. The excess of
arrivals over departures for the six
months ending July Ist, 1897. was
1860. This would make the popu-
lation on that date 1898. This
estimate is based upon the birth
rate exactly equalling the death
rate, which of course it does not.
If we had complete and p oper
registry of births and deaths
throughout the Islands the estimate
might be made much more accurate.
The figures given are Mr.. Thrum's,
who kindly placed them at the dis
posal of The Star.

forests. There is still much to be
done, however, and it is satisfactory
to know that the Executive is fully
alive to The necessity of the preser-
vation' OF our forests.
The subject should be carefully
considered by the next Legislature
and the laws in relation to the
preservation of forest lands should
be revised where necessary. The
European governments give great
attention to their forest lends, and
wherever Europeans rule in Asia,
there is also the same care display
ed. In British India the Bureau OF
Woods and Forests is one of the
most important under the Execu-
tive. Many of the best foresters
come from Germany, where the
subject is scientifically studied.

LACK OF KNOWLEDGE.

The kind Of rubbish which gets
into some classes of papers when
dealing with the Hawaiian question
is most amusing. The following
from the Celestial Empire is typi-
cal. Commenting upon affairs here,
and chiefly the japanese question,
it says:
THE whole trouble arose through
the ill-timed revolution of 1893,
when an American adventurer, one
Mr.. Sanford Dole, who possessed
the confidence neither of the more
respectable of the inhabitants of
Hawaii nor of the Government of
Great Britain nor of the United
States, hoated to the surface and
became the President of this petty
state. Mr.. Dole had, however,
sufficient instructive craftsmanship
to grasp the idea of the instability
of the conditions, and at once made
overtures to the United States
Government for annexation"
For farrago Of nonsence one
could have no better example. One
imagines a picture of a truculent
looking individual, with pistols in
his belt, a blunderbuss over his
shoulder, and daggers stuck all
over his frame, at convenient spots.
This is the adventurer Dole. The
writer jumped at this conclusion.
He evidently never knew that
President Dole was born on the
Islands, was educated in part on
the Islands, was identified all his
life with the Islands, was promi-
nent member of the bar for many
years and Justice of the Supreme
Court. That he possessed and does
possess the confidence of the more
respectable inhabitants of Hawaii, !"
and at the present moment he
possesses the respect even of the
opponents of republicanism.
Founded upon a false premiss
like this it is no wonder that the
writer falls into the error that the
annexation scheme was the idea of
Mr.. Dole, evolved from his inner
consciousness. Whereas the facts
are that the annexation question
has been under consideration since
the early fifties, that the original
reciprocity treaty of 1875 was given
with view of annexing Hawaii
and Strengthening ethe hold which
the United States had over it, and
that ultimate annexation has been
the goal owards which all events
were tending, and that the annex
alton scheme is no more the product
of Mr.. Dole's brain than it is of the
writer in the Celestial Empire.
Arguments based upon such
fallacies are neither worth combat
ing nor listening to. The only
reason that attention has been
called to them here is to show upon
what baseless foundations some
writers will build. The direction
it comes from is sufficient. AS
pointed out few days ago the
Anglo-As press represents a
class not people, while the Aus
tralian press represents a people.
The former gets off set of glitter
ing generalities and does not pause
to think whether it has facts or not.
The latter, taking things more
seriously, and laboriously striving
to fashion the future, earnestly goes
to work to understand the question
at issue and so we get the strong,
manly and well thought out articles
which appear in the Colonial papers
upon Hawaiian affairs instead of
the fancy pictures of ideal pirates
which the Anglo-Asiatic press in
dulges in.

PRIMUS STOVES I!

SO many different kinds of
oil stoves have been put on the
market during the past ten
years that it was with difficulty
that the best could be deter
mined upon until the PRIMUs
was introduced a year ago.
This stove burns a kerosene
vapor and is non. explosive.
You can turn it upside Gown
and no danger will result.
The oil tank cannot be filled
while burning, as the removal
of the filler cap extinguishes
the flame instantly.
In point of simplicity it has
no equal, for it has no wick,
burns any grade of kerosene,
and the flame can be regulat-
ed. 1t produces a heat of
from 21OO degrees to 1900
degrees Fahr., and consumes
one quart of oil in five hours
consecutive burning. This
means an. expense of 2 cents
per hour.
Nothing but solid brass is
used in the manufacture of the
PRIMUs, and when in operation
it is absolutely odorless.
1t will bring a quart of
water to boiling in 3 minutes.
We have half a dozen styles.
Single, double and triple burn
ers. Extensions for singles,
so that three kinds of vege-
tables may be cooked at once.
Soldering irons, fatiron heat
ers, obens, and everything
necessary to cook a meal.

Alaska
Refri&eratOrS

because they are never out of
place it this climate.
The ALASKA is the best con-
structed Refrigerator ever put
on the market. 1t will keep
provisions longer and use less
ice than any other refrigera-
tor. Why? Because between
the outer and inner walls there
is an inch and a half space
filled with PURE CHARCOAL, and
nothing has yet been found as
good. 1t possesses a purify
quality that no other filing
has, and is one of the best
known .insulators for heat or
cold.
The inner frame of these
refrigerators is made Of per-
fectly odorless wood, and all
exposed wood, such as under
the lids, and that above the
doors is odorless poplar, thor
oughly shellaced. This makes
the refrigerator clean and
sweet.
We carry the Alaska in several sizes
ranging in price from SIS to $40.
In ice boxes we can quote you pri-
ces from $40 down to $3.50, and those
desiring ample space for ice and fewer
compartments for provisions, will be
suited with these ice boxes. ~
