PRINT THE REPORTS.

Vow that the report OF the Min
lister Of Finance has been given to
the public the question Is imme-
Giately asked: why are the other
department reports not printed and
distributed" The query Is a sen
sible one. While the law does not
require the annual publication Of
department reports, there are
many reasons why printed copies
should be given to the public every
wear. Possibly a fair percentage
Of our people don't know whether

or not, but the people on whom
the country has to depend to do
sound thinking and make prepare
tion 20 meet the issues that come

much interested in government re
ports as the Executive Council Is.
Then again our Legislators ought
to- have the material at their dis
posal, unless they intend to follow
the precedent Of the last Legislat-
ure which passed the appropria-
ton for the educational bureau
the day before the report of that
department was submitted. The
report Of the Interior department
as well as that of the Bureau of
Public instruction for the year

and wide throughout the land.

MRS. STANFORD AND PRESIDENT
JORDAN.

Some of the theologians of Cali
fornia are saying very hard things
about President Jordan of the
Stanford University, because he
condemned some of the
methods Of conducting 'revivals."
He Is called modern destructive
critic" and a "materiaistic revol-
utionist." The Rev. Mr.. Case
says he is worse than Bob Inger-
SOIL" and must be gotten rid of as
soon as possible. Dr. Wendte says
he is only following in the steps OF
the college presidents, Harper,
Eliot, Low and of Prof. Briggs and
Lyman Abbott.
Mrs. Stanford has just transfer
red her fine residence and It's con
tents, with the grounds in San
Francisco, valued at 100000
to the Stanford University. She
has addressed a letter to the trus-
tees, in which she speaks Of Presi-
dent Jordan with tender feeling
and virtually asks that in the event
of her death, that he should be re
tanned in office. She again assert;
that in the University, there shall
be taught g the Immortality of the
soul, the existence of an all wise
and benevolent Creator and thai
obedience to his laws is the highes
duty of man." In this remark

able letter of Mrs. Stanford is
found this prayer: Dear Father
in Heaven, l wish thy will to be
done, not mine; unless my will be
thy will ask for thine instead
of mine"
The laymen, and the young peo-
pie are confused, when they hear
that a man who is "worse than
Bob Ingersoll'' is commended by
woman who utters prayer like
this. It looks as if regiments, on
the same side, were losing their
way in the woods, and were firing
into each other.

HILO IMPROVEMENT.

The Tribune calls on the citi-
zens of Hilo to see to il that the
town is cleaned up. Never was
more righteous cause taken up
by IA newspaper. Through the
neglect of Hilo citizens, whether
individually or collectively we
will not discuss, there are sec
tiOns of the town that are not
only a public eyesore, but posi-
lively a public menace. Sloven-
ly individuals of many national
tiles have allowed filth to collect
about premises in the midst of
the business section and no one
seems to be on hand to prevent a
continuance of the nuisance. The
Tribune accuses public officials
with neglect, but it forgets that
public officials seldom rise above
the public spirit of the people
with whom they deal. Hilo needs
Il sanitary revolution more than
Honolulu did before the cholera
struck in. Some public spirited
people ought to set the ball roll
ing, and not stop agitating and
white washing, until a good num-
Der of the shanties on the princi-
pal streets of Hilo have not only
been cleaned, but wiped off the
face of the earth.
By doing this work which can
be done if the people will simply
get together and see that it is
done, Hilo will show itself to be
IL truely progressive town. The
wharf seems to be necessarily in
allegiance for the time being, but
in the sanitary surroundings our
Hilo friends have an opportunity
for necessary labor and a worthy
object that can be accomplished
if the citizens will combine their
efforts and not rest until the town
has fairly respectable appear
ance and healthful surroundings
Let Hilo organize an Improve
ment Association and show what
can be done by organized and
united effort. Let the citizen for
get for time that there has ever
been any division of opinion and
join hands to clean up the town.

man cannot work in the cane
fields of the North, the reasons
given being various-chief among
them that of temperature. The
sum and substance of the object
ions, however, appears TO lie in
the fact that it is considered de-
grading for a white man to take
a hand in a class of work usually
assigned to 'niggers.' And from
careful inquiry it seems to me
that the ordinary laboring white
man has only. to exercise persev-
GRANGE, industry, and self-denial
in order to speedily acquire Il
farm of his own. He may become
a tenant farmer, or possibly a
freeholder, but the undisputed
fact still remains that it is open

THE HILO WHARF.

At recent meeting of Hilo
citizens a resolution was passed
requesting the Government to
employ an expert engineer to eX-
anime the wharf and breakwater
facilities of the Hilo harbOr, and
render a decision as to. the best
location, etc. This is a very sen
sible proposition and had the
same conclusion been reached
several years ago, the wharf
might have been reality by this
time. 1t now appears that the
appropriation for the Hilo wharf
and breakwater makes no provi-
sion for the expenses of such an
investigation as will be required.
1t would be possible for the Exc
cutive to use a portion of the
$4,000 appropriation for this
preliminary study of the situa-
ton, but the precedent establish
ed by such action would be Il
dangerous one.
The expenses of Engineer Her
ing who came to Honolulu to
make an investigation for a sew
erage system were provided for
by a special item of $4,000 for
Sewerage Investigation" Had
the Hilo representatives been
wide awake they would have seen
to it that similar appropriation
was made for their harbor. But
the opportunity has passed and
the best plan is not to weep over
the mistakes of the past, but look
out for the future. Building Il
harbor and wharf is no small
affair and before going ahead
with the actual construction the
Government should obtain the
best engineering counsel that is
to be had. Notwithstanding the
serious necessity of Hilo's de
mands, it must appear to every
conservative person that under
the circumstances the best thing
to do is to wait for the next Legis
lature, and then go about the in
vestigation and construction in a
business like way. 1t will be
worse than useless to spend sew
eral thousand dollars on a make
shift. Better let the present APP
preparation remain untouched
than build another second rate
wharf, that will be very slight

The Federal Council of Austria
liza is debating over the question of
the political control of the New
Hebrides. The French and Bri-
fish have now a joint control, and
it works badly. The British au-
thorities refuse to allow the Bri-
fish to sell guns, ammunition, and
rum to the natives, while the
French authorities permit these
articles to be sold by Frenchmen.
The friction between the control
ling powers is constant. The
British home government does not
take much interest in the matter,
and refuses to change the situa-
ton. The Australians ask for
more consideration. In the mean
time, there is much confusion,
and there is trouble in obtaining
good titles to land. A political
car drawn by team of French
men and Britishers is like tram
ear drawn by ar OK and mule.
1t doesn't work well.

RESIDENT AND NONRESIDENT.


The Teutonic race on these isl
lands may be divided into two
classes, the permanent inhabit-
ant, and the nonresident or alb
sentee. One class intends to live
here, bring up its families here,
and die here. The other regards
the islands as a mining camp,
which is to be worked for all it is
worth, and is then abandoned to
the prairie dogs, and the cyotes.
The British Colonial governors,
in such places as Singapore, Hong
Kong, and the vast domain of
India, who are carrying out far
seeing policy of administrative
Justice to all men, find the bitter
est opposition comes from the
British merchant, who wishes to
make his fortune and return
home. He wishes the interests
of the native population to be put
behind his own. His future is
elsewhere.

more or less, in conflict. The one

A person who recently visited Ha-

eral Weyler, whom he CHANGED to meet
unexpectedly when called upon to
make affidavit to some commercial

and impressed him as being passionate

ment. In appearance he added, Wey-
Ter is insignificant until his eyes rest
upon you; then there seems to be a
strange magnetism about him." He

The cost of growing an acre of
sugar beets in France is $40, with
out including the cost of fertilizers.
The product is about II tons per
acre. The refuse is used for cattle
food, and the green leaves and
stalks are excellent milk producers.
1t requires eight tons of sugar beets
to produce one ton of sugar. Ex-
perience shows that even with the
higher prices of labor in the Unit
ed States, the cost of agricultural
produce is not higher than in
France, owing to the large use of
machinery.

over S25, 900 and it is to be hoped
that each year the conditions will
be such as to allow an equal or
possibly larger amount saved in
this department.
In the Customs bureau we find
the figures that are at present in
teresting the people at home and
abroad. As was predicted some
weeks since the returns of the
Finance department show that
the year 1896 was the banner
wear in the commercial history
of Hawaii. Our imports amount
ed to S7,164,561.40, exports S15,-
515.230.13, making a total import
and export business of so, SO
1888. which is an increase of
more than SS.000.O00, over 1895
and of S2.574, 760.92 over 1890, the
best previous year. OF the total
business 1926 per cent. was
transacted with the United
States and in the carrying trade
American ships did 1888 per
cent. of the total business. 1t is
worthy of note in this connection
that a large number of the yes
sells registered under other flags
than American are controlled by
American houses and a large pro
portion of the income from the
ships of other nationally goes in
to American pockets.
Anti-Annexationists may howl
as they wish, figures tell the
story. Not only is the United
States the principal market for
Hawaii's products, but the people
of the States derive almost the
sole benefit from Hawaiian pur-
chaserS. The balance of trade is
largely in our favor, and we do
not consider this fact anything
to be ashamed of. Should the
Sugar Trust succeed in securing
legislation detrimental to this
country, it will strike a blow at
shipping and Ameri
can manufactures which the bu-
siness men of the Pacific States

,an business houses suffer as
we'll. The only way to settle the
problem is to give Hawaii politi-
cal union with the United States
when commercial union will be
assured and both countries Will
reap equal benefits. This is the
conclusion to which Minister
Damon's report points and it is
the conclusion reached by every
student of the situation.
