Chrighton, who not only was bril-
liant scholar, but a good swordsman
and IA very polished gentleman, earn
ing his title of the admirable" be-
cause it seemed as If anything he
undertook he could do better than his
fellow men.
But these boys of ours. turn up in
the most unexpected places. The other
day was received a letter from one
who was an Island boy, but who spent
some years in New Zealand, and he
wrote from Professor Herkomar's
studio in Bushy Park. The school is
a very celebrated school of painting,
Professor Herkomar being "A man of
marked ability and of very strong
Paris studying art, others in business
houses in the States and elsewhere.
They will not all come back, but
enough will to keep the rising genera
ton from getting narrow and preju-
diced, which is the fault of all insular
populations.
This is another thing for our friends
at the Coast to consider. How much
Hawaiian money is spent in and
around San Francisco by travellers
from Hawaii, and by the young men
and women being educated there. OF
such an expenditure there can be no
possible statistics, but it is certain
that it is large. Such OUTLAWS can be
added to the amount of imports and
it will swell them considerably. De-
stroy the commerce of the Islands and
the Coast destroys yet another source
of income.

A note in an American paper says
that "John ID. Rockefeller once quieted
a clergyman, who asked why the
Standard Oil Company did not reduce
the price of oil in order to lessen it's
enormous profits, by saying that if he
did so, the Independent refiners would
find it impossible to make a living
that they would, in fact, be ruined"
Poor deluded clergyman. John d..
Rockefeller has built up his wealth on
the ruined homes of thousands of in
dependent refiners and the facts in the
case can be found in work called
wealth versus Commonwealth"
which shows what the greed of mo-
nopolies can urge them to do.

PRESERVING THE FORESTS.

Some remarks of Governor Black of
New York, in his inaugural address,
are worthy of consideration here. He
stated that New York had been
stripped of it's most valuable timber
lands and it's water supply was
thus seriously impaired. In conse-
quence of the neglect of the State 20
guard its wooded property, it had al
lowed the Adirondack region to pass
largely into the hands of lumbermen,
and that out of it's 100000 acres about
100000 of acres were condemned to
the AK. What measures he proposes
to take the report at hand does not
say, but evidently he intends to try
and do something during his term of
office.
Similar remarks may be made of the
condition of the forests in Kohala and
Hamakua, but here it is the cattle in
terests that prevent the preservation
of the forests. The mass of forest
which occupied the SUBMITS and
slowly but surely being driven back
ward. Within the last ten years
fine grove of trees, short distance off
the main road from Waimea to Kohala
and about half a mile distant from
Kahua, has completely disappeared. 1t
was a surviving relic of the forest that
had stretched down to that place.
Some of the planters in Kohala, and
all of those in Hama<ua, are very
anxious that the remaining forest
should be fenced in and line drawn
from Kohala, running above Waimea
and joining the present fence at Ku-
kuihaele. This would be continued as
for as Ookala.
The planters have repeatedly made
overtures to the cattle owners to ar
rive at some basis, and have as repeat
eddy failed. There was even an at
tempt made to buy out one of the cat
tie ranches, but the price asked was
beyond the means subscribed.
Certainly something should be done
before it is too late. The reforesting
of India, of Germany, of France, has
cost millions. In all these countries
the Importance of the forest lands is
fully appreciated. But it takes ten or
twenty years to reforest place which
might be preserved at once.
If private effort cannot do anything
II, Il, eta, in,
The law of 1876 gives the Executive
ample power to act. The Minister of
Interior is authorized by this act to set
apart woods and forests, of The prop
erty of the Government, as may be
best suited for the protection of water
sources. This has been done for the
valleys above Honolulu.
Section 4 of the same act, however,
provides further that whenever It
shall be necessary to eXtinguish any
private right or title in any woods or
lands required to fully carry out the
intention of this act, the fair valuation
of the same shall be determined by
referees X and the valuation so
adjudged shall be the extreme limit of
the price to be paid by the Govern
ment and upon making ten
der of such price = y = it shall be
lawful for the said Minister to take
possession"
1t was under this act that the Gov
eminent obtained possession of large
tract in Nuuanu Valley. Why should
not the Government assist in preserv-
ing the forests of Kohala and Hama
kua? 1t is matter of vital import
ance and if neglected will cause far
greater expense in the future than it

Der of young men who, having passed
through our schools here, proceed
abroad to extend their education. 1t
was the Roman plan. No Roman was
considered highly educated unless he
had concluded his studies at Athens
and taken the school of rhetoric at
Rhodes. 1t was the German plan in
the middle ages, both for the student
and the artizan, who, the one having
completed his university course, and
the other his apprenticeship, each
started out, wandering from city to
city, or from university to university,
picking up new ideas and broadening
their knowledge of men and things. The
students of Oxford and Cambridge
and of the Scotch universities used to
do the same thing. They sometimes

DELICIOUS DELEGATES

If a wife wants to have her
husband think as much Of her
as he does Of his maternal
parent she must look to the
larder and see that it is pro-
vided with plenty of things for
the inner man. But quantity
in this instance is not the only
essential; quality plays an i'm
portant part in food articles.
You can fill a dish with
peas, but if they are not Of
good quality they will remain
full. We are now selling
genuine Petit Pois in one and
two-pound tins that are re-
markably good, and cheap.
Another delicacy is Pre-
served Mushrooms-new here
and we are selling them to
people who regard a good din
ner as a requisite to happiness
on this earth. Black English
Mushrooms, and many French
Mushrooms go long way to-
ward filing a man out around
the vest pockets.
Another trife worth think
ing about is genuine English
jagged Hare. Where is the
Briton who would not 60 a
long distance for a lunch where
jagged Hare is one of the
courses?
We have a store full of such
things-too many varieties to
mention in a week. Pickles of
every sort-from the ordinary
bottled to Batty's Nabob;
Tippo Sahib's Curry Powder;
Orange Marmalade in stone
jars; Cross & Blackwell's Jams
in glass, and a thousand other
things.

KANSAS CORN CROP POOR.
With an Increased Acreage it Falls Far
Below Last Year.

Topeka, Kan, Sept. 6.-An official es-
innate OF the corn crop of Kansas was
issued to-day by the State Board of
Agriculture in the form of n compilation
of estimates by farmers throughout the
State. The average yield is placed at
twenty bushels per acre, and the total
crop is 165, 677 $50 bushels, as against
621 200. 900 bushels last year and 201,-
100000 in 1896. The dry, hot winds of
the past week have caused serious dam
age to the crop, the average condition
during the week falling from GO per cent.
to 50 per cent.
The reports as n whole indicate that
the crop is poor, not only as TO yield, but
as to weight and quality. Though the
crop is disappointing, it is a noteworthy
fact that the State has raised but seven
bigger corn crops. This is accounted
for in the fact that the acreage. which
is S.2S3,000 is the greatest in the his
tory Of the State.

IGNORANCE A CURSE.
The Ignorant Man a Slave Wherever

On. c. Journal of Education.)
An ignorant man is slave wherever
you find him. Unframed communities
are in q state of servitude to trained
communities all over the world. Char
acter and intelligence are the true fac
tors of values. Ignorance is a curse. Ii
has never done any good thing. 1t has
never written great book or enacted a
wise law or sang a great song or ln-
vented Il new machine. There are good
individual ignorant men, but their ignor-
ance is menace to society and re-
bellion against the intent of the Maker
Education may, indeed, rob men of some
measure of animal contentment, only
to fill them with that divine discomfort
which is the lesson of all advancing civ
ilization. Learning may be dangerous;
but the remedy is not Ignorance. Life
itself is dangerous; but the remedy is
not suicide.
Ignorance is remedy for nothing, and
after all is said and done, every man in
the wide world with brains in his head
or heart in his breast wants his own
child educated. That settles the ques-
ton.

PRESIDENT AND JOHN BROWN.

Aurelian Springs, n. G. Aug. 30.
To the Editor: The papers state that
the President and Vice-President of the
United States lately visited the grave of
John Brown and in honor of the memory
of said Brown stood with uncovered
heads.
1t will be remembered that this John
Brown, just before the war, in company
with a number of political roughs, in
vaded the territory of Virginia in time
of profound quiet and melted the ne
groes to rise in rebellion, Stay their own
ers and be free. The citizens in the
vicinity, including some ministers of the
gospel, shouldered their muskets and
rushed to the defence Of their firesides.
Fortunately they apprehended the fell
low before the sacrifice of many lives.
He was tried by jury, defended by
a distinguished lawyer from the North,
condemned and hung. And this is the
man whose acts and memory the Presi-
dent delights to honor.
1t is an historical fact that the negroes
were brought to the Southern States and
sold into slavery by Northern and Eng
lish merchants or NEGRO Traders
against the protests Of Virginia and
South Carolina. That the ancestors OF
these same negrophilists owned
slaves as long as it was profitable to do
so, but when it became Improbable they
disposed of them and then commenced
the crusade against the South.
The animus that melted the laudation
and honor which have been bestowed on
this man, who, after a fair trial, was
executed as felon, crops out in other
ways and it is difficult to understand
how any Southern man can feel COM
placency in an administration conducted
as at present
The papers tell of a girl who had COM
pleted the course at Vasser College with
honor, was discovered, not by color or
other marks, but by tracing her genealogy
to have negro blood in her veins, and
from the manner in which she seemed
to be regarded and the matter discussed
it might have been supposed she had
committed serious crime, for Vassar is
Northern college.

Free Cure For Men.
A MICHIGAN MAN OFFERS TO
SEND HIS DISCOVERY FREE.
Claims to be a Benefactor to Weakened
Mankind.

CLAIMS TO De BeneIactOF TO w edKeleu
Mankind.
There Is always more or less suspicion
attached to anything that is offered free
but sometimes man so overHOws with
generosity that he cannot rest until his
discovery is known to the world, in order
that his fellow men may profit by what
he has discovered. 1t is upon this princi-
pie that resident of Kalamazoo, Mich,
desires to send free to mankind a pre-
scriptiOn which will cure them of any
form of nervous debility; relieves them OF
all the doubt and uncertainty which such
men are peculiarly liable to and restores
the organs to natural size and vlgor. AS
1t costs nothing to try the, experiment it
would seem that any man, suffering with
the nervous troubles that usually attack
men who never stopped to realize what
might be the final result, ought to be
deeply interested in a remedy which will
restore them to health, strength and
vigor. without which they continue to
live an existence of untold misery. As
the remedy in question was the result of
many years research as to what combi-
nation would be peculiarly effective in
restoring to men the strength they need,
it would seem that all men suffering with
any form of nervous weakness ought to
write for such a remedy at once. A re-
quest to III. G. Odds, Box 1922, Kala-
mazoo, Michigan, stating that you are
not sending for the prescription out of
idle curiosity, but that You wish to make
use of the medicine by giving it trial,
will be answered promptly and without
evidence as to where information came
from.
The prescription is sent free, and al
though some may wonder how Mr.. Odds
can afford to give away his discovery,
there is no doubt about the offer being
genuine. Cut this out and send to Mr..
Odds that he may know how you came to
write him.

PRESIDENT Mckinley Does Not Favor the

WASHINGTON, April lot is practi-
eaily settled that the consolidation of

making a. close investigation into the
economic features of the case and
claims to have discovered it is cheaper
to conduct the agencies as they now
exist than to consolidate them.

time yesterday with the new commits
sioner of pensions discussing matters
relating to Kansas pension boards.
According to the information devel-
oped, the only pension boards in the
classified service in Kansas are the fol-
lowing: Topeka, Kansas City, both
boards at LeaYenworth and the one at
Winfield. None of the other boards
are classified, which will give the dele
CATION great many more places than
was generally supposed, and will
enable those who were undecided
about these matters to send in their

Agriculture Wilson has initiated new
system of seed distribution in his de-

seeds from all parts of the world and
putting them in the hands of farmers
likely to use them to advantage. He
has begun the work with sugar beets
