Will make sale of 90 choice sows
from his herd, at Bushnell, Ill, on
Feb. 3D.. The animals will be ship
ped by special car from here to the

the fine hog business that they are
often sent to distant points for sale,
the reason stated being that buyers
of such stock seem to be colonized in
certain localities. The sows to be
sold are nearly all the get of the
famous prize winner Black Chief I'd.

IT Is OVER.

The returns from the physicians

that the general stomach tests of

certificates of safe digestion,

ed. The first generation of the
descendants of the old missionar-
les, owing to the excessive frugal
ity of their early lives, prove to be
remarkable digesters of food. The
second generation, owing to a
more liberal diet, show some weak
points, while the third generation
needs more care and coddling.
However, athletics and the bicy-
Gle will raise the average. As for
the malahinis, the "self-expulsed'
Americans and foreigners, who
have immigrated to these Islands,
they are gradually becoming ac-
Minated. As diet becomes a
strong factor in the physical
growth of a race, and, it is said,
that it is an unsettled question.

THE PLANTERS.

1t is extremely unfortunate
that the Planting interest is tie
one prominent interest here. and
will be so, until the coffee indus
try becomes its valuable ally.
The planting interest must think
so too, for as it is, it carries the
majority of the people ON its
back. feeds them, clothes them,
educates them and will in some
way or another determine their
future. The men who control
such a vital industry have respon-
sibilities which they never agreed
TO assume, but which are forced
upon them nevertheless. The
Planting interest is, so far as it
can shape its own course, a
purely business interest, quite
content TO attend to its own af-
fairs, and keep away from all
questions that do not concern

MR.. CRAMPS OPINION.

Mr. w. A. Cramp, one of the noted
ship builders of the United States, re-
Gently published his views on the in
crease of the japanese navy. He is
probably as familiar with the subject
as any foreigner can be, as he has
personally examined the vessels he re-
fers to. After giving in detail the
feats, he says:
Japan is not only building more
ships than any power, except Eng
land, but she is building better ships
in English ship yards than England
is constructing for her own navy"
She is second only to England in nav
al activity, being ahead of France,
much in advance of Germany, and
vastly in the lead of Russia and the
United States 1t must be borne in
mind that the new Japanese fleet COM
prises throughout, the very latest and
highest types of naval architecture in
every respect of force, economy and
efficiency.
Meantime the attitude of the Unit
ed States seems quite as supine as
that of Russia.
Japan, at her present rate of naval
progress, viewed with relation to the
lack of progress of the other two (the
United States and RUSSIA must be
able in three years to dominate the
Pacific against either, and in less than
ten years, against both.
while all other navies have been
wrestling with the theoretical prob
lens of the war colleges or encoun-
tering the hypothetical conditions of
squadron evolution, fleet maneuvers
and sham battles, the Japanese have
been sinking or taking the ships, bonn
harding the towns, and forcing the har-
hors of their enemy"
The Hawaiian gazette., 1897-11-26

Sir Edward Satow, British Minister
to Japan, on his return to his post
through Canada, being asked in Mon
treal whether in his opinion, there was
likely to be a rupture between Japan
and the United States owing to the an
nexation of Hawaii, replied:
Japan has certain treaty rights
with the present Government. The
Japanese have gone to Hawaii in great
numbers. There are probably at the
present time some 10000 or 10000 Jap
anese in the Islands. Naturally there
has been desire for the conserving of
the rights of these people. But this,
too, will be dealt with by diplomacy.
If any nation says to America, Don't,
she will be sure to annex Hawaii.
England has not said DON'T has not,
in fact, said anything about the bust
ness. She has simply allowed matters
to take their course. Had she made
any move toward thwarting the Unit
ed States, there would instantly have
been a cry for annexation from one
end of the country to the other. Eng
land has remained quiet, and Japan, |
rather think. is following that ex-
ample"

GREAT FINANCIAL TRANSAC-
TI0N.

The payment of s5S,00O,0O0 by the
purchasers of the Union Pacific rail-
way property, to the Government was
an excellent example of the advanced
methods in banking, in order to l-void
a money panic, and it was also an ex-
cellent example to the silver men OF
the really subordinate part coin plays
in commercial affairs. Not a dollar
was used in the transaction. The pur-
chasers got credit with the banks and
trust companies for the money. The
Government took the checks of the
purchasers and turned them right over
to the banks, who gave security for re-
payment of the money, and the money
market hardly knew of it. 1t required
no little financiering to make a per-
feet arrangement of the details The
men who did it are the very men who
twenty-five years ago, lost their heads
in money panic. But they have edu,
Gated themselves in the art of finan>
ciering, and are experts. Thirty years
ago, men who had made fortunes in
the dry goods business, were elected
presidents of banks and trust compan~
les, just as in these Islands, a man
who was trader, became the manager
of sugar plantation. John Sherman
said on one occasion when he was Sec
rotary of the Treasury, that the aver
age New York bank president knew
no more about the art of Finance than
the keepers of the crossroads grocer
les. Things are better now. But the
art seems to be in its infancy yet,
and the world is only in the A B C's

should be. We are just out of the age |
Of wampum and shells and nails for |

Pawaa Lots Surveyed.

M. D. Monsarrat has surveyed and
prepared map of the lots in the new
Pawaa tract, at King street and Wal
kiki road. These lots have frontage
of from 20 to 100 feet and are 260 feet
deep, extending from King through to
Young street, and affording room for
large houses in the center and wide
lawns on both thoroughfares 1t is
probable that an arrangement will be
made to run water from the artesian
well upon all of the lots. Some of the
lots have already been spoken for and
A. V. Gear, who is opening up the tract,
expects to dispose of them all in the
next few weeks.

itself, takes its profits and leave
TO others the management OF So
cial questions, however lmpor-
tant they are. This is the attitude
of the average planter today, and
the attitude of the average plant
er's agent.
But this interest, unfortunate
lv. cannot thrive without affect
ing very large and important So
cial and political interests. This
is the fault of the situation, and
is not the particular fault of the
planters or those behind them.
The Planting interest which
takes at present a neutral stand
in many ways will be forced to
become a very active political
agent in self-defense. The drift
ing period is probably about over.
All things have combined hereto
fore TO make the planters way
reasonably smooth and pleasant.
But the combination will not
last. At least it may be so said if
experience is any guide. This in
terest like all other commercial
interests will, when forced TO act
in Self-defense, act in self-defense.
1t will cease to be a loose aggre-
CATION of individuals, vaguely
concerned in a common cause. 1t
will become in due time, the polit-
zeal master of the situation here,
with or without annexation. 1t
will become alert, vigorous, ag-
gresive and all powerful. 1t will
employ the cleverest men, dis
burse money, dictate the meas
ures it requires and ivake them
into laws. If the Islands remain
independent, it will be the Gov
in reality. If there is an
leXatiOn, it will have the ears of
he leading men in Washington.
The sugar interest will do here,
ust what the large railways and
insurance corporations of Ameri-
Il do. These become dominant
orces in politics, because they
re forced to it. They buy justice
nd legal privileges, because they
re for sale in the Legislatures.
20 long as the people elect cor
upt men to Office, the business
interests of a semi-public charac-
er must pay for protection.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1897-11-26

These predictions are made up
on the usual course of events in
other countries, and the same
course may be anticipated here.
The present observer of our in
ternal economy is surprised
to see the absence of the Planting
interest as an active agent in af-
fairs. The observer, a few years
hence, will mark its far-reaching
forces.

ANNEXATION.

If the news from Washington is
reliable. the ratification of the
treaty may be expected in a short
time. Among the names of Sena-
tors who are said to favor anneXa-
ton is that of Senator Daniel of
/ Virginia. He has not been oppOs-
ed TO annexation heretofore, but
was disposed to maintain the
status quo and decidedly maintain
American control over these Isl
ands. If. as the y. Y. Herald
states. he now favors immediate
annexation. he has not so much
changed his mind. but made up
his mind on the subject. As he is
leading Senator on the Demo
cratic side. we are inclined to be-
lieve that he will carry other De
mocratic Senators with him. His
position in favor of ratification, if
he has so taken it. is about the
best news that comes TO us.
If the leaders in the annexation
movement in the Senate press the
ratification of the treaty, early in
December, the temper of the Sen
ate will quickly develope itself.
Even if no decisive action is taken,
it will indicate whether there will
be a fight for delay. If the Demo
cratic Senators take the ground
that they are opposed to anneXa-
ton. but do not intend to obstruct
manifest destiny" we may see
speedy action, unless the unex-
Dected happens. Every one knows
what mischief the unexpected" /
AN do. but we can only hope that
t is not very rampant just now.
The debate of the Starr King
Fraternity in San Francisco on
the 18th, was interesting, as it
out Senator Perkins. He
was rather nOn-committal, and re-
marked with some temper that the
planters here who are getting en-
1rmous dividends, ought not to be
American Congress
men.
Mr.. Horace Davis made a strong
point in stating that when Secre-
tary Bancroft gave the order to
the Navy which annexed CaIifor-
mia. he did not stop to consider the
character of the population or the
extent of desert land ON the coast.
This, as we have repeatedly
said in these columns, is the key
note of the American policy. The
United States will take us, if they
want us, and our social and racial
will count for absolute
ly nothing in the movement The
real issue is, do the Americans
want us, and not whether we are
fit to become a part of the great
Republic. To hesitate on account
of our mixed races, etc, is for the
ostrich to stop at few grains of
sand. after he has greedily swal-
lowed a dozen cobble stones.
