They used to say in England that
railway corporations never would
make any improvement until their an
tiquated lack of method succeeded in
killing Bishop. Bishops are among
the mighty in that country. Here,
with our western views, we don't
think SO much of them, CATERS, apron,
shovel hat and all. But it must be
supposed that there will be little
chance of road improvement until a
Minister has broken his neck or
smashed his carriage going up Nuuanu
avenue some dark night, then the
Tramway Company may be possibly
aroused to the fact that their track
occupies canal and that their fran
chise requires them to keep said track
on level with the main road. The
Star has no desire that any Minister
should break his neck, but it will
somewhat rejoice at the smashing up
of the carriage, and it would not
mourn very much if there were a few
bruises. My, how Manager Payne

MARCH 10, 1897.

Nothing is 50 satisfactory
and brings over a man that
contented, happy feeling as to
know that the little helps and
conveniences of life are made
especially for his comfort.
A recent invention is the
Cigar Rest and Ash Tray, so
constructed that it can be at
tached to a desk or table.
Smokers will find it a very
valuable device. A spring,
similar to that of a clip, is
forced on to the projection of
the desk or end of the table,
thereby making it secure. The
cigar holder part is grooved
just the shape of the cigar and
allows the ashes to drop into a
cup-shaped receiver, thus
doing away with the detestable
and unsightly cuspidor. There
is nothing clumsy about it, it
being made for that one pur-
pose. 1t is handsomely nick
eled and the price is SO cents.
Bachelors and others who
are fond of mixing their own
lemonade or liquors will find
that our shakers or mixers
fill a long felt want. We
have in stock several sizes to
select from, according to the
number Of drinks desired to
mix. There is hardly a drink
mixed that is not better relish
ed if a little ice is used, and
for that reason you should buy
an ice pick or Gem shaver.
We have them.
Every now and then the
police become very vigilant
looking for dogs whose owners
do not admire them sufficiently
to pay the tax and present
them with a collar with the
license attached. We have a
large assortment of dog collars
in full nickel or leather with
nickel trimmings, with or with
out padlocks.

the case. The population of the Ger
man and French colonies does not af-
feet the general result, because neith-
ed of these countries have any self
governing colonies, where there is a
large white population. OF course the
United States has no colonies. But
Great Britain has three great groups
of Safeguarding colonies, whose pop
ulation can be considered entirely
from the white" standpoint, without
reference to the colored races, domin-
ated, in the least degree. These are
the Dominion of Canada, the Austria
lasian and New Zealand group and the
South African group. These three are
as distinctly British States as Lycia.
Mysia and Caria were distinctly Greek
States though planted on Asiatic soil.
Neither Germany nor France possess
self-governing colonies. The British
nation also possesses colonies and pos
sessions similar to Germany and
France, as what are known as Crown
colonies, such as FIJI, Hongkong, etc,
and possessions as Hindustan and Bur-
muda, but these are thrown out of
calculation.
Thus dealing with purely white
population the statement, with which
this article commenced, seems to show
that in the same period of twenty-five
years Germany has increased in popu-
lation more than the United Kingdom
| by no less than 100000. But, as in
pointed out, in the article under re-
view, this is not a fair statement of
the case. The white population of the
self-governing colonies must be taken
into consideration. This stands as fol-
lows:
ing British colonies:
Dominion of Canada 1886, 1924 5,0S3, 424
Australasia .........1 1924, ITO 4,23S,369
South Africa ....... 100000 100000
Totals ..........5, S09,794 1891, 793
Comparing Germany and the United
Kingdom merely in Europe there is a
gain as has been shown of 100000 to
the good of Germany, but comparing
Germany with the true Greater Britain
there is a gain of 100000 to the latter
so that the populations stand, Ger
many 100000, and Great Britain AMI
self-governing British colonies, 12,000,-
900, clear gain to Britain of 100000.
This calculation is based on broad
lines. The self-governing colonies of
the West Indies are not taken into
consideration and they would add
their quota to Britain's white popula-
ton. So that white man for white man
the population of Great Britain out
numbers that of Germany, with
chances of greater expansion within
the next twenty-five years. When it
comes to a question of dominating
dark races and the power to use them
for military purposes of course Great
Britain is very much in advance, be-
cause her control of such races is very
much larger than that of Germany.
| Economic questions of this kind re-
quire careful study. 1t is so easy to
make a generalization without consid-
ering all the facts in the case, and
there can be no doubt that Brad
streets" has shown wherein there
was a fallacy in the reasoning of the
report of the British Board of Trade.
The increase of white population in
British self-governing colonies
amounts to nearly so per cent in the
course of twenty-five years. 1t is a
marvellous increase.
