BEETLES WANTED.
The Bug Expert Finds the Pest Is
Much Reduced.

Prof. A. Koebele, the Government en-
tomologist, would like to secure an
unlimited number of japanese beetles
Tose bugs for incubation. He is sat
isfied from reports and from the fact
that roses are again being brought in
to the country from abroad that the
disease he first introduced amongst the
beetles has taken hold and is spread
ing rapidly and doing effective slaugh-
ter work. 1t is the desire to keep this
pest down to the lowest possible point.
Professor Koebele says it is doubtful if
the beetle can ever be entirely wiped
out, but believes it can be kept to the
numbers able to do but little injury.
Professor Koebele, in view of the raw
ages Of insects abroad is in favor Of
prohibiting the admission OF foreign
soils into the country. Many of the
pests, if not all, breed in the ground.

THE PALAMA KINDERGARTEN.

Until the establishment Of free kim
dergartens, modelled after the Froebel
system, what to do with the children in
the thickly settled districts was a prob
lem which disturbed metropolitan
school boards for years. Legislatures
passed compulsory education laws and
specified the age at which children
should enter school. Before they reach
ed that age they played in the street,
then the truant officer did the rest. Ho-
nolulu has successfully solved the
another page shows what excellent
results are being obtained from kim
dergartens whose pupils are children
surrounded by most unpromising en-
vironments. The effects of the train
ing are not confined to the children.
The parents are reached.
Each child has some inherent quail
ity which the kindergartener is able
to assist in developing, by the individ-
uaI observation and attention, which it
it often impossible for teachers in the
higher schools to give to their pupils.
No child, whatever its temperament
may be, is insensible to the ennobling
influence of the knowledge that it can
do at least some one thing well. The
parent shares in the influence. The
Honolulu undergraduates are teach
ing many things besides the interest
ing modelling in clay. and child songs,
and wholesome stories. The founda-
tions to principles of practical ethics
and good citizenship are being laid in
the Palama kindergarten.
Yesterday a Senate Committee re-
commended the passage of the bill to
establish public park at Palama to
contain something over three acres of
land The Research Club and many
citizens desire to use a portion of the
land for a playground for children.
They have promised to raise funds to
assist in putting the ground in proper
shape, and to provide benches, band
stand and other attractions. The park
is as necessary as the kindergarten,
and it's good influence, as exhibited in
similar institutions elsewhere, upon
the mixed population of that district
can easily be predicted.

steadily and a score of new industries
were established which make the place

COFFEE PRICES.

The Advertiser resents the charge
made by the Bulletin, that it de-
preciates or belittles the coffee indus
try. The coffee industry must be gov
erned by business rules. The first of
these rules is to ascertain the facts.
Now in blooming" new industries this
rule is utterly, and wickedly, we do
not say maliciously, disregarded.
Thirty thousand people in California,
If put on the witness stand, would
solemny testify to the correctness of
this statement. We believe the Gov
eminent publication on the value of the
industry is misleading.
We would like to make the state
ment daily, that Hawaiian coffee is
worth 40 cents per pound, if it were
true. We do know that failure to get
at the truth will only retard, if it does
not destroy this valuable industry.
The Bulletin quotes from a CONNER
cial circular published in San Fran
cisco, giving sales of Hawaiian coffee
at 1919 cents. 16 cents, and II cents
per pound. The "tenderfoOt' reads
these quotations, and banks on them.
But the Bulletin does not tell him
that these are quotations of only the
higher grades. Out of 1000 pounds of
berries picked from the trees, only a
limited percentage is rated prime, and
sold at the highest price. There are
several grades, each grade with less
value. The lowest grade may bring
only cents per pound. What the
tenderfoot ought to know, and what
we, who wish to put the industry on
a firm basis, must tell him, is what
the average price of all the grades
will bring. This has not yet been
done. We understand that in this
town there are a number Of very dis
couraging accounts of coffee sales in
San Francisco. These represent the
value of the average grades, and not
the highest.
If you say to disguised fruit raiser
in California: Il see lemons are quot
ed at $500 per box. Lots of money
in it, He replies: zone quarter OF
my crop graded high and brought that
price, the rest of the crop brings little
or nothing"

The valuable report Of Collector
General McStocker, to the Minister of
Finance furnishes a most interesting
study in our social economy. In it we
find what we are eating and drinking
and wearing, aside from what we con-
sumo of home products The tables of
the report are carefully arranged, and
presented in such q manner that any
information needed is quickly obvious
It reminds us of the exceptionally well
prepared customs reports of the United
States and Japan.
1t would require many discussions Of
the contents of this report, if the at
tempt was made to show the bearing
of the facts it contains upon our social
and even political life. We hope to
present hereafter some of it's pnwrit-
ten suggestions on our public affairs.
The value of the exports of sugar,
if divided up among the 10000 inhabit-
ants of the Islands, would be about
S275 per head.
The value of all other exports, if also
divided up among the 10000 inhabit-
ants, would be about $11.20 per head.
Here We find a very serious COM
mentary on our industrial condition.
It reveals the utter one-sidedness of
this condition. To those who study
such matters it contains a warning
and a threat. 1t shows that we are
already in the deplorable condition of
the British West Indies, saving only
in the matter Of our sugar market,
which hangs by the single thread Of
American legislation, either with. or
without annexation.
The little State of New Jersey, COW
ering about the same area as Hawaii,
has over 1000 different industries. 1t
has cost a vast amount of labor,
thought, persistence, and even sacri-
fee to establish them. The history of
these industries is one of anxiety and
frequent disappointment. But Ameri-
can pluck won its way, in many cases
without the aid of tariffs.
Perhaps the members of the Legis-
lature will think about this matter.

Cautious and observant coffee plan
tiers believe in the coffee industry, with
some reservation however, regarding
the labor supply. When it is prosecut-

well settled industries, it will pay
much better than ordinary farming III

gerous. Let us keep it out of the coun-
try, if possible.

In the discussion upon the Civil
Service bill in the House of Repre-
sentatiyes on Monday, the Congress
man from Schuylkill had the floor
and proclaimed himself an out-and-
out spokesman.
His resounding voice is said to have
reverberated through the galleries as
he announced that he held the civil
service system largely responsible for
the corruption that existed in poll
tics, and especially in the larger
cities, because OF the tendency it had
10 foster in the minds of Mug wumps,
dudes, snobs, educated imbeciles and
Anglo-maniacs, the idea that it was
very vulgar to take an active part in
politics. He declared in favor of the
total repeal of the infamous law, -
asserting that he would vote with the
Democrats or anyone else 10 wipe it
from the statute books. He believed
in securing positions for the party
workers by political pulls
1t can hardly be believed that upon
the very day that the leather-lunged
Congressman was vociferating his
opposition to the Civil Service law in
this outspoken manner, the President
sent the name Of "A person who,
though not one Of the class named so
contemptuously, yet is a political
nonenity, to the Senate for conirma-
tion to an office on the recommends

So long rs the inventive genius of
our people continues to grow and eN-
pand we need have no apprehensions
as to our mental degeneration or de
cay. During the past year of 1897
nearly 4S, 900 applications for patents
were received, or more than $50 for
every working dag IN the entire year
This, says an exchange, is about 1000
in excess of the largest number of
applications in any previous year
Think of 4S, 600 inventions perfected
in this country in single year But
who can so much as conceive Of the
amount OF thought, study and ap-
plication required to complete these
inventions Many of them, no doubt,
represent lifetimes of care, anxiety
and the most intense application.
The human mind can not grasp the
amount of labor these various devices
have cost the toll, the worry, the des-
pair and, it may be, the insanity, for
many poor inventor has gone mad
from over application, disappoint-
ment and failure. At the same time
this very great number of applica
tions for patents must be received as
an omen of the great mental and
mechanical activity of our people,
which, as revealed by the Patent
ONCE, exceeds that Of any people in

CIVIL SERVICE DEBATE ENDED.
But Opposition to the Measure WIN Be
Reneweh-IInwmii In the Sennte.

Renewed-IIuwaii In the senate.
Washington, Jan. 12.-The civil SER
vice debate which was inaugurated in
the house a week ago ended yesterday.
1t opened with a row, but ended very
tamely, There was not even a vote on
the appropriation in the legislative, rX-
ecutive and judicial appropriation bill
for the commission upon which the de
bate was predicated The Republicans
who are asking to modify or repeal the
law decided to let the debate come to
a close yesterday, but II required the
casting vote of the speaker to accom-
plish this. There are conflicting state
ments as to the situation in which the
future conduct of the war against the
civil service law Is left. All the Re
publican opponents of the law agree
that the fight Is to be kept up, and it
is positively stated by Mr.. Pearson,
North Carolina Republican, that as
surances have been received from those
in authority i'm the house that an op-
portunity win be given in the future
for the consideration of "A bill to modify
the law. But from other sources the
statement cannot be confirmed.
The debate was quite dull until the
closing hour, when Mr., Simpson, the
Kansas Populist, enlivened it with
some references TO the Ohio senatorial
election. Mr.. Bailey, the Democratic
leader, made a clear statement Of the
minority position, which indicates that
the minority will vote to repeal, but
not to modify the law. The principal
speech of the day was made by Mr..
Brosius, chairman Of the civil service
commission, who defended the law in
a two hour speech.
Except for a few minutes given TO a
controversy over some minor postoiiice
combinations, the entire time Of the
executive session Of the senate yester-
day was consumed by Senator Davis
of Minnesota, in a speech in support
Of Hawaiian annexation. Mr.. Davis is
chairman of the senate committee on
foreign relations, and his speech was
generally accepted as the semi-ofiicial
utteIance of the majority of the COM
mittee
