A USELESS DISCUSSION.

A correspondent, of intelligence,
wealth and position, sends to us let
ter. which states with force, some of
the reasons against annexation. We
do not publish it, because the matter
of annexation is now settled, and be-
yond discussion, so far as it can be
done by our own Government
No man, who takes the trouble to
think seriously about it, fails TO see many
perplexing questions before us in the
event Of annexation. But he sees many
more perplexing, and very embarrass-
ing questions, if there is no annexation.
For this means, so far as the closest
observers can judge, the rapid decline
Of the sugar industry, the survival
only of the best plantations, and the
rise of more or less internal disorder,
owing to the want of a permanently
stable Government. Some honest men
sincerely believe that as stable" Gov
eminent has been maintained for four
years, it can be maintained for twenty
years longer But it cannot be done, in
the opinion of the present Government
1t must and will change from its semi
Republican, or restricted Democratic
system, to more distinct use of con-
eentrated power, as Mexico has now
done, or it must yield to the rule of
pure democracy, which means, in the
end, the condition of the South Ameri-
can Republics. This, again, means,
when there are so many men of other
races mixed together, many racial con-
f1icts, and these will call for outside
protection. The German warship will
be here to protect the Germans, the
British warship to protect the British,
and the Japanese warship to protect
the japanese. The native, in the mean
time, viii find himself between these
heavy racial mill-stones. The COM
plete independence of the Islands
would invite larger immigration from
all sources, and cause more numerous
conflicts. The Samoan experience
would be repeated in many ways.
Il is pity that the study of these
questions, which involve the destiny
and the prosperity of communities are
left, in most countries, to scholars
only, who take little part in political
matters, and therefore are not leaders
The history of nations is full of the
evolution of governments, the rise and
fall of prosperous communities. But
the men who usually lead, and the men
who vote, have no time to study these
questions. And yet, they must decide
them. We venture to say, that compli-
Gated as our situation is, no man here
has yet said to himself: Let me study
our situation by the light of history. -
To do that requires time, an aptitude
for study. and the means to command
the leisure

lows two crops of beets to be grown in
one year. against one crop In the other
mentioned countries. Mangolds and
beets will thrive best on the low ina
kaD lands. but viii not do we'll on the
high (mauka) lands. for reasons that
DIR. Maxwell will publish at length
later. Upon the low lands one trouble
may be want of water DIR. Maxwell
advises the selection of piece of
ground with the water laid on, which
II fertilized with some manure and
nitrate of soda will grow two crops
OF 80 to 40 tons each per year and can
be cropped onward for number OF
years.
The Experiment Station has given
careful attention to experiments which
indicate which crops will flourish in the
conditions of soil that characterize the
high lands, and as result, Dr. Max
we'll advises corn, but particularly mil
let, the latter giving two and three
crops OF feed in year. Millet will
thrive perfectly where beets, turnips,
carrots, etc. cannot bear the soil in
its present state. DR.. Maxwell asks
the Advertiser to place these observa-
tions before its readers in order that
small farmers, dairymen, as we'll as the
plantations, can judge in what way,
and to what extent, they can be uh-
liZed.
DR.. Maxwell remarks that these mat
tiers should be specially considered by
the coffee planters. who have to fur
nish food for themselves and their
cattle. He remarks: THE small plan
tiers can grow everything in the way
of vegetable food that they can require
for themselves and their cattle while
they are waiting for the coffee to turn
into cash."
incidentally, DR.. Maxwell remarks:
The use of beets and other succulent
food for swine has largely killed out
swine fever in given districts in parts
OF the United States

CRUELTY TO HORSES.

One Of the most reputable liv-
ery-men said Yesterday: 4 have
handled many horses in many
places, but ! have nowhere seen 50
much cruelty praeticed towards
them. as I see constantly in this
town
There j. a reason for this exeep-
tional cruelty. The natives are
thoughtless; the Chinese and Jap
ane~e know little about animals.
And the foreigners" have become
80 accustomed to the daily exhibi-
rions Of brutality in It's minor
forms, they regard them with the
same eomplacencv as a butcher
looks upon bleeding and dying ami
mails. No doubt there are many
humane people here. the largest
majority are 50, but when an abuse,
a habit, a course Of doing things Is
established. it Is hard for the com
munity 70 readjust Its ways.
Horses suffer great pain from
imperfect shoeine. They suffer /
also. from the growth of the hoof. /
after the shoe has remained on the
foot for over a month, it Is said.
"Corns" are distinctly visable in
many eases. In some cases, lame
ness indicates suffering. In many
other eases, the pain Is not evident.
To prevent these mnumerabIe
acts Of cruelty, no preaching Is of
any consequence. The police only,
the power Of the law, must inter
fere. punish and educate.
W neither the failure TO provide /
horses with shoes. is an act of cruel
" depends upon the facts. ManvF
men, humane and familiar with
horses, do not shoe them in the
country district. Others do. No
law compels the shoeing of horses.
But if can be proved in any given
case, that the want of shoes causes
the horse TO actually suffer, the
penalty Of the law Is at once in

Moreover, this article is in contra

The Mechanical Department OF the

if the Government must help mer-

equally.

DR.. Maxwell has communication in
another column, in which he states,
that the recent experiments on sugar
beets were not for the purpose of as
certaining the amount of sugar in the
beets. The experience of recent years
has proved that in warm countries like
Hawaii the amount is almost value
less. Sugar-beet tops, however. are
excellent feed for cattle, and the ex-
periments have shown the advisable
ity of paintings made, with that end
in view, by cattle owners. The succu-
lent tops have been known to prevent
fever in swine, so they are valuable,
not only for the amount of food which
they furnish, but for their medicinal
properties as well. The practical agri-
culturalist nowadays has great faith
in the findings of experiment stations.
With their aid he can calculate to
a nicely the amount of produce, or the
tons of hay to the acre his yield will
be, given certain conditions of soil,
of cultivation and irrigation. People
have come to recognize the need of
the application of modern science to
the preparation of food for man and
for his animals. 1t is a development
toward better health and toward econ
,my.

Crops.
(From Thursdays Daily.)
The Hawaiian Experiment Station,
which is, in the first place, for the
study of problems bearing on sugar
production, is also engaged in expert
ments with general agricultural crops,
and Is kinds of cereals, legumes and
roots have already been tested, with
results which show that most tenn
perate climate crops will thrive well in
these soils and climate. The latest ex-
periments completed were with the
marigold wurzel and the sugar beet.
These experiments were made in re-
Spouse to several plantations asking:
Whether some root crops could not be
grown that would furnish succulent
feed to cattle, sheep and mules, as well
as hogs, when no cane tops were avail
able?"
These root crops were planted, and
grew rapidly and without mixed ferti
lizers, and the results were as follows:
Mangold wurzel, 305 tons per acre;
sugar beet, 22.5 tons per acre. In order
to judge of this production compare
lively, the figures bearing on the sugar
beet crop are placed by the side of the
yields Of beets obtained by the expert
ment stations in France and the United
States (the data from France were re-
ceived by the French Government, and
the data from the United States were

who began and conducted the sugar

Beets for Feed, Not Sugar.
From Fridays Daily1

MIR. EDITOR:-Will you let me ex-
plain through your columns in reply
TO inquiries, that my remarks in your
issue of yesterday upon corn, millet.
mangolds, beets, etc, were only to
speak of those crops as valuable for
feed. In reply to one inquiry concern
ing beets, | wish specially to say that
that root, like the mangold. has only
value as feed with us. The beets grown
by us did not contain any sugar. In
fact, it is well known that sugar will
not form in beets grown in hot coun-
tries. In Louisiana beets grow well.
but they are of no use, except for feed.
Very truly,

II is curious incident of the tickle
condition of the public mind here. and
its superficial views, that the depar-
ture of the Naniwa has excited no COM
ment whatever. Several months ago it
was confidently predicted that the Jap
anese would land forces here. Men be-
lieved that the correct course of con-
duct was, not to keep cool, but become
dreadfully suspicious, and tell every
body else that a "high-handed out
rage was about to be committed. The
information sent to the United States.
by intelligent people, was that the
dreadful hour was at hand Many let
tiers have been received here from rela-
tives Of Island residents expressing
great concern at the possible blood
shed. The Naniwa came, it was said
for this purpose. However, not a Iuau
the less was given or lunch party or
a dinner. A man would tell you in
the street that he feared the worst
was about to happen" You would ex-
pect that he would at once solemnly
retire and sit in grief among his house
hold gods. But you would see him. two
hours later, at some dinner party, in
perfect ease, or listening to the band.
The Naniwa has gone, and We hard
ly know it. There is a marked alb
sence Of sulphurous odor in the air.
The presence of that ship was an I'M
answerable argument in favor of force,
and her departure is regarded by some
as mean thing" in diplomacy, be-
cause it destroys the value of the ar
gument

Mr.. n. w. McIvor, ex-United States
Consul at Yokohama, arrived on the
City of Peking yesterday, and, with
his family, are the guests of American
Minister Sewall. During his residence
in Japan, for the last four years, Mr..
MeIvor took the highest rank in the

duties. His knowledge of international
law is large and remarkably accurate.
The Japanese officials did not hesitate
to consult him on delicate questions.
and his absolute integrity commanded
their respect
We personally know that he has stud
led with deep interest the relations of
Hawaii and Japan, and is, today, one
of the best-informed men on the ex-
panding relations of the United States
with the Oriental nations. Some of his
communications which have appeared
in the Consular Reports have COM
manded the attention of European

that they desire simply to study the
