Citizens Attention.

These are days of considerable
anxiety and perplexity to all who
have possessions or other interests
III the Republic of Hawaii, and it
is time that our citizens came to
mutual understanding on several
important issues. The prospects
for Annexation appear at present
vague and indistinct, and our
destiny cannot be foretold with
certainty. There are those, also,
who still fondly cling to the hope
of return to the old order of
things, and who cannot be per-
suaded otherwise, yet this out.
look appears far more hazy than
that of Annexation even to the
most hopeful disciples of the
Monarchy. But, fortunately, in
the midst of all this uncertainty
there is solace in the fact that
Buffalo Beer has came to stay and
that patrons of all sorts and
opinions may equally share the
benefits of its iuvigorating and
sustaining properties. We are
moreover assured that this favorite
brew will continue to be dispens-
ed as heretofore at the Royal,
Pacific and Cosmopolitan Sa-
looms.

USEFUL w AR.

Importation of plants and seeds
must always be attended with the
risk of introducing foreign pests.
1t would not do to stop such i'm
portations on that account, be-
cause then the country would be
prevented from diversifying its
useful and ornamental vegetation.
The Hawaiian Government did
the right thing little late, when
it began system of inspection of
plants, and some bit later employ
ed an entomologist to conduct war
against variety of pests that had
already got bad nip on our
vegetable domain. The report of
Professor Koebele, the official in
question, printed in last Planters
Monthly, gives some idea of whata
formidable war this is. There
is bewildering list of beetles and
scales, more or less noxious, for
which the entomologist has found
or lis finding the natural enemies.
He is now able to report: "But
little more can be presented in
regard to the introduction
of injurious scale in
sects. There are but very few
serious species not yet represented
in the islands from those ports
from which plants generally ar
rive. We can see those, and
know pretty well how to deal
with them, and where to
find their proper enemies"
Some of the pests reached islands
other than Oahu, and there is
much nervousness for fear more
may do SO. With regard to coffee
blight and sugar cane parasites,
the cure went from Oahu instead
of the disease. For the effective
work being done by our entomo-
logist, the sugar cane planters
organization shares in credit, as it
co operates with the Government
in his employment.

A recent letter from Santa
Catalina, Venezuela, states that
during the exploration of the con
cession of the Orinoco Company
headed by Donald Graut and
other Minnesota men, trail was
cut to the Imataca mountains.
Pushing on beyond the point
reached by the party, sound was
heard from the top of a mountain
which was at first thought to be
thunder, but sfterward decided
must come from waterfall of
considerable magnitude. Work
ing in the general direction of the
sound over difficult trail, large
river and what must rank as one
of the greatest waterfalls in the
world was discovered. The river
bursts diagonslly through an
almost perpendicular cliff, est
mated to be 1000 feet in height,
breaks into half dozen separate
streams, which divide and sub
divide, spread out into broad fan
like expansions, and twist about
in such curious, corkscrew
fashion, that the water at the
bottom of the falls flows in ex-
actly the opposite direction from
the course it holds where it first
comes into view. By clinging to
bushes and going up the giant
creepers hand over hand, the men
climbed up the cliff until the ane
roid indicated an elevation of
more than five hundred feet, but
it was found impossible to reach
the top and learn how much high
or the falls are.-Railway Review.

as half cent a pound, which is
not unlikely, the advantage OF
Hawaiian over other raw sugar in
the American market would be
but SO ton. Should, however,
the reciprocity clauses of the Nc
Kinley bill he revived, and gener-
ally taken advantage of by other
cane sugar countries, Hawaiian
sugar would lose all the benefit of
the treaty, as happened when that
measure was in effect before.
Here it may prove that our OPP
ponents of the beet sugar persua-
sion may prove, unwillingly, to
be our bsnefactors, as they will
GO strongly against any extension
of the reciprocity idea, while the
arguments against the abrogation
of our reciprocity will, it is to he
hoped, be powerful enough to
circumvent their efforts to that

THE SUGAR DUTIES.

Ii the sugar duties be changed
from an advalorem to a specific
basis in the new American tariff,
it will likely be a disadvantage to
Hawaiian sugar as compared with
the present position. The duties
on refined grades will in that
event doubtless be raised and
those on rsws lowered. AT pre-,
seul orr raw sugar has protection
In the United States only less than
refined sugar by one-eighth of a

refining is very trifiing, but, under
specific duties, it is a chance il the

but wiped out, while protection

article and revenue both may be

Wilson tariff the sugar duty is

both above and below Is Dutch
standard, but with one-eighth of
cent pound added to those above
tibet gradea. At the present market
rates, our sugar under the treaty
has protection of S24.50 a ton,

The Missing Sci" don.

The underwriters have paid the

Seladon, as all hope of ever hear
ing of her has been given up.
Her cargo of coal was consigned
to Wilder & Co. but that firm

have been made on delivery only.

Gus islands which dot the Southern

There are some kinds of work
on sugar plantations for which it
is useless to think of ever relying
upon white labor. They simply
would not stay at it. Other
branches of work there are, how
ever, for which it is false economy
yes, and bad public spirit-to
employ any but either white labor
or well-trained, intelligent native
labor. These propositions will
have respect compelled for them
before profit sharing, or any
cognate reform of the labor sys-
tenn, can be inaugurated with
complete success.

A story Of the Managing Editor and
the OH;ce Roy.
When John G. Reid WAS manag-
ing editor of the Times he had an
otice-bey whose nerve and cheek
we're colossal, says the New York
Press. Greatness never embar-
raised him, for he was no res
pecter of persons. One day he
entertained in the reception room
waiting visitor whose patronizing
way nettled him. All kinds of
questions concerning his life and
occupation were fred at him and
finally he was asked how much
he earned week. His reply was,
Fifty dollars," which caused the
interrogator to whistle. At that
moment the visitor was summoned
by Reid, to whom he related his
experience with an Office boy who
said he made $50 week.
Reld rang bel enter boy
"Did you tell this gentleman
you made 500 u week here?"
Il did not tell him any such
thing"
WHAT exclaimed the gentle
man. you mean to say you
didn't tell me moment or two
ago that you made $50 "A week"
Never said any such thing
"Why, you little liar' You"
"What did you tell the gentle
man?' put in Reid.

but you pay me only 49,"
The visitor was 80 excited that
he forgot his business with the
managing editor. When ne had
taken leave of the Office Reid
raised the boys salary to $6.

The furry over japanese COM
petition in this country may have
completely subsidized, as some free
traders have been pleased to re-
mark, but the fact that Americans
are ceasing to interest themselves
in the matter does not hinder
operations in Japan. There is a
commission of Japanese engaged
in the business of inspecting the
iron and steel working plants and
processes in England, Germany
and the United States, who will at
the end of their tour decide the
style of plant and process to be
adopted in utilizing the $780, 900

Salem, Mass, Feb. 3-Thc jury in the case
fwilliam Kennedy, charged with attempting
20 poison Albert f. Learoyd Of Danvers, which

o'clock and pronounced Kennedy guilty on
both counts The first count alleged that he
attempted 10 poison Learoyd directly by put
ting trough ON rats" in moustscbe cup
TIE second is that he attempted poisoning by
mixing rough on rats with fopd.
Sentences will not bo pronounced today.
Kennedy was employed a farm hand by
Mr.. Learoyd, but he was discharged some
time befors the date Of the attempts, poison
ing. On the night q November q, 1895, Mr.
Learoyd and several other members of his
household were taken seriously i'll with

sidered responsible for his discharge from
Laaroyd's employment, had died under sus-
,icious circumstances, but the court ruled
