A great town, Boston.

Postal Delegate McInerny Tells OF the Trade
Situation In the islands.
Boston, June 13.-James D. McInerny Of Hon
olulu has been visiting Boston as the representa-
tive OF Hawaii at the postal congress-. He is n
young. active business mar of Honolulu, Ha-
waiian born and bred. his father having gone
out to the islands, from this country, forty years
ago.
Tho Japanese excitement in the Hawaiian
Islands" said he, sis something more than a
scare as some Of your American papers are in
clined to believe. 1t is with us a very real trou-
bic. Tho influx of Japanese 10 having its effect
upon the business interests Of the city. Many Of
the Japs are tradesmen, and whatever line of
business they go into they drive others out or
make competition exceedingly sharp. They offor
thoir goods at prices 80 very much lower than
the usual market rates that competitors cannot
stand against them. The Japanese are remarka-
BILE imitators, and many articles which have been
heretofore sold at a fair profit by white dealers
they can make more cheaply.
Then. too. 1t is undoubtedly true that they
undervalue their invoices greatly at the Custom
House. What do you think, for example, Of
mems undershirts valued at sevcnty-lve cents O
dozcni That is q fair example Of some of the
goods invoiced at the Custom House,
Are the goods which they offer at such low
prices of fairly good quality"
"Oh, yes. Very many goods which are offered
for sale by these Japanese dealers at not more
than one-half the prices usually charged are Of
equally good quality 30 far as can be seen. They
bring in all kinds OF mems furnishings, hats and
shoes, and they are apparently well made. Tho
straw hats wear as well and look nearly as
well as the American made hat, but they will
not bear quite as close inspection because they
are not so well finished. The reason of this is
that they have not the machinery for making
hats. but make them by hand. Many groceries
are bought from Japan, and are competing riskly
with the American dealers. In the matter OF
canned goods they are making serious inroads
on the supply from the United States. They
raise and can many American fruits and veRe-
tables and push them vigorously for competition
with the American market. Gamers of salmon
also are making a push for competition with
American packers.
"A new sugar company has been organized in
Honolulu. the Oahu Company, with a capital OF
81. 900, 900, every dollar OF which has been sub
scribed in the city. Two millions could have
been raised without difficulty. Land has been
purchased in the vicinity of the famous Eva
markable. The coffee culture is also advancing
rapidly. A large number of American planters
have recently come to the island and have pur.
chased Government land. Then there are other
industries which only need annexation TO bring
them into a f1ourishinR condition. We raise the
most wonderful pinoapples in the world. The
Euaya crop Is immense and excellent, and some
day look TO the establishment OF the guava
jelly industry In the island"

"Home Rule" and the New Consti.
tuition.

Tammany Hall orators of the Bryanite
species are trying to excite popular preju-
dice in their favor by assuming that the
city of New York is deprived by the new
Constitution of some share of the political
power it formerly enjoyed. Accordingly,
they have raised the rallying cry, "Home
rule New York for the New Workers."
The section of the amended Constitution
TO which they refer is clause 4 of Article
III, and is to the effect that no one county
In the State shall, until the next apportion-
ment, nave more than one-third of all the
State Senators, and no two counties, which
are adjoining "or separated only by public
waters" shall have more than one-half.
The purpose of this provision was to pro-
vide that Mt 10 time under the present ap-
portionment should the two counties of
New York and Kings have a larger voting
strength in the upper branch of I'll Legis-
lature than the other fifty eight counties of
the State collectively. The purpose of this
provision was to protect, unnecessarily per-
haps, the rural counties of the State from
the danger of being o~vcrpowered in their
own local concerns by those two large coun.
ties. A similar provision for the protection
vi iiiiio uNISiSo 10 W DC lOuliu, ulIu
has been steadfastly retained In the United
States Constitution, and it has never been
seriously objected to by any Democrat.
The Tammany Hall orators are trying to
make it appear hat New York and Brook.
Ign, the future enlarged New York, have
been somehow Disseminated against by
this provision of the new Constitution, and
In such a way that the alleged evil can be
undone Mt this years Mayoralty election.
In point of fact, this apportionment Is the
most equitable to New York of any made
since the foundation of the Republican
party. Moreover, the enlargement of the
municipality does not affect the case In
any way, for the county lines are preserved
intact, and no change can be made in them
for many years. New York, Kings, and
Richmond counties are not consolidated as
counties; only the city of New York as a
municipal corporation, for municipal pur.
poses, is enlarged. The amended Constitu.
ton, too, was overwhelmingly approved
and adopted by the citizens of the State
three years ago, and 1t cannot be altered by
any act or vote of the people of New York
at this years election.
Under this amended Constitution New
York enjoys An advantage which 1t has had
at no previous time; 1t has secured the
essence of "home rule" so-called. The
provision giving to New York a veto power

The Paazing or the Seal.


Let the United States Government tax all female
skins imported into this country sufficiently to mAke
their importation impossible. and let all male seal.
skins come in free OF duty. and the price of tho former
will. with the United States out OF the market, drop
to a level which will stop pelagic sealing moro efreo-
lively than the luke-warm policing of the seas by .
feet Of opera comique vessels, the employment Of
which is but adding insult to injury.
A more sensible. IL even more aggressive. way Of
stopping pelastc sealing and the destruction OF female
seals would be to entirely prohibit the importation Of
female skins, and to make It . misdemeanor to have
them in possession. AS radical as this measure may ap.
pear. itwould merelyibe Justice, for rs long As It is un.
lawful for an American citizen to catch the female
seal 1t should be unlawful to handle or to expose b

PARK.
A Stranger who Has Good Words to Say About
the Main Entrance.


To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir: I have been
looking around in b ooklyn a little, and l find 1t
a big city with many attractive features. In the
course OF my explorations ! have now got as far
as the main entrance to Prospect Park. which 1
find more imposing than the entrance to Central
Park at Fifth avenue and Fifty.ninth street in
New York.
Approaching 1t one comes first upon a circle
much larger than the plaza at the Fifth avenue
and Fifty-ninth street entrance to Central Park.
The Prospect Park circle is to have at its centre
n great fountain, which, however. is not yet in
place; there is nothing there now but the exca-
walton. Still approaching the park we come to
ar arch Of considerable proportions. as large as
the arch at the lower end OF Fifth avenue in New
York. Visitors may ascend to the top Of this
arch. Between the arch and the actual
entrance TO the park there is a great
plaza, which may be described in a general
way as crcsccnt-shapcd without points. the
horns merging into broad spaces to the right
and left OF the arch, into which run approach
makes q great sweeping indentation in the end
Of the park. At the centre is the main entrance.
sweep Of this great indentation. / should say
$50 to 200 feet apart, are four tall columns, yet
to be surmountcd by statues, and at either end
of the sweep there il a small circular pavilion.
The land Immediately adjacent TO the entrance
to Prospect Park Is not an built upon; nor is
any OF IL oCCuJlcu ~ DuilulnRb 80 lofty AZ those
that surround the Plaza at the Fifth avenue en-
trance TO Central Park. The effect of the park
as seen from here is lacking in the splendid
prodiRality that marks Central Park. which
one comes upon at the very heart OF the city
but the approach TO Prospect Park is more spa.
cious and more impressive; and they say that
the park itself is fine. / have not been there yet,
but ! am going.
Imet a New Yorker to-day who said he had
never seen Prospect Park; I have no doubt
there are others, for | find that tho Manhattan
Islander Is apt TO think his own is good enough
without taking the trouble to look around very
much. hut | think 1t would nay him to go over
and take IA look at Prospect Park.

partment. left Los Angeles for the
United States of Colombia.
The party sailed from New York to
Hayti, visited the Jamaica and For
tuna islands, and from there proceeded
to Savonilla, the port Of entry for the
United States of Colombia.
Mr. Entler returned to Los Angeles
a few days ago, and at the request of a
Herald reporter kindly gave a brief ac-
count of the latter country yesterday in
a few hurried moments in the interim
of pressing business.
Savonilla is small town some nine
teen miles from the city of Rarranquilla,
which is situated inland on bayou.
running in from the Magdalena river,
the largest stream of the country The
port occupies the same relation to the
city, as to size and distance, as San
Pedro does to Los Angeles.
Barranquilla is pleasant city, after
the old Mexican style, with narrow
streets and tiled roof adobe buildings.
The people, as in all Spanish America,
are indolent and unambitions. There is
no such word as hasten in their vocabu-
iary; they have all the time there is,
and they take the full benefit Of the
possession. "Manana por la manana''
is the universal response of the country.
The Magdalena is a muddy stream
which Mr.. Entler and party ascended
some seven hundred miles in fiat-bottorl
boats from Puerto Barrio to Medellin, a
