FALLING BIRTH RATES.

The falling birth rate in France
has called forth a great deal of COM
ment and even French writer's regard
the country as committing Il kind of
racial suicide and painlessly destroy
ing itself. If this reasoning were true
it would indeed be all up with France.
and in time the more expansive races
on the frontiers would gradually over
spread the country which has for so
many centuries led Europe in advanc-
ed thought, in polish and elegance
of manner and of dress.
But an English writer points out
that the birth rate is declining in
Great Britain and in all countries of
Europe. The only thing the matter
with France being that its birth rate
began to decline sooner than that of
the rest of Europe. 1t is quite con-
ceivable that a couple of generations
hence France may find that her birth
rate is no longer the lowest in Eu-
rope.
The fact is that the present growth
in European population is a phenom-
enon which is almost entirely cOnfin-
ed to the last $50 years. Through
some of the greatest periods of their
history, the population of these ma
tons has been stationary. This view
of the case is novel one, and the
more striking as the argument comes
from an English, not from French
pen.
1t is great pity that our birth sta
tistics are so unsatisfactory here. The
death statistics can be fairly relied
on, for a person cannot be buried
without certificate from the Board
of Health, but the registry of births
is constantly evaded. There have been
no prosecutions under the law, but
The Star is convinced that were there
a few fines imposed, these statistics
would be as accurate as they are in
other countries.

BIG PRICES.

The land sale which took place at
Paia on Saturday afternoon, Decem-
Der 18th, was indeed phenomenal
one. There were three lots for sale,
and each of them sold for a little over
five times the appraised value or upset
price. This is really remarkable sale
and points to the fact that Maui peo-
pie in their quiet way, without walk
ing round with chip on their shout
der, are thoroughly realizing the val
ne of their Island, for all the buyers
belonged to the Island and two of the
number were native Hawaiians.
The lands in question are situated
in Nahku among the Pals of East
Maui. \ couple of years ago it would
have been hard to give the land away
and no one wanted it, unless the chan
ces of permanent government and
therefore capital were assured. So
the land lay a waste of guava scrub,
ferns, ohia, kukui, lauhala and so
forth. The laundering waterfalls
crashed over the cliffs and the streams
roared over their rocky beds to the
ocean. with no tribute to the soil in
the shape of irrigation. For miles
| there would be no habitation.
Now all this is being changed. The
district, one of the most fertile on the
Islands, awaies out of its lethargy.
The valleys which have only heard the
roar of the cataract and the rush of
| the stream will wake to the sound of
the steam whistle and the AK. and
man will enter upon his kingdom
! Cultivation and civilization will reign
but the wild beauty of the Koolau dis
trict viii be gone. Again this is pro
gress under annexation.

throws much light on the manners of
the age, far more than the work OF
the greater writers.
We should be very thankful for our
present literature for the young. 1t
is not course, as it was couple of
hundred years ago, it is not goody,
goody, as it was fifty or sixty years
ago. 1t is strong and virile, inculcates
best of lessons and employees the pens
of some of our foremost writers. OF
course there is a great deal of rubbish
printed, and there is a line of vicious
literature, for young people, but it is
only where parents are careless that
the vicious literature creeps in. There
is so much that is of interest both for
boys and girls, and it is gotten up in
such attractive and cheap form, that
it readily out-tops the vicious, and
poorly printed trash. The kindest
thing parent can do for his young
growing children is to see that they
are supplied with new, up-to-date chill

Poverty such as there is in the old
er countries we fortunately do not
know here. \ case appeared in Lon
don paper the other day where an ar
fist deliberately broke a street lamp
in order to get a nights lodging in
the police station. The man
had had neither food nor
lodging for two days. He was SEN
fenced to fourteen days imprison-
ment, and when the magistrate impos-
ed sentence, the prisoner implored
that he would add hard labor. And
the magistrate acquiesced, The re-
quest seems strange, but imprison-
ment at hard labor carries with it
better food than ordinary imprison-
ment. But what a comment on our

HILO'S BOAST.

Says the Hilo Tribune: The Ad-
vertiser remarks that Hilo isn't boast
ing very much over its garrison, viz:
sixteen sick soldiers left from Major
Sague's command. This is where the
Advertiser is mistaken; we are boast
ing very much over the fact that
every one of the soldiers has come
through safely, a record of which, we
are sorry to say, Honolulu is very far
from being able to boast"
This is rather hard on the military
hospitals. The sick soldiers in Hilo
were not treated by the military doc
tors.

CHILDREN'S BOOKS.

Children are happy in the excellent
branch of literature has there been
such an advance. And it is not only
children's books but children's maya
zines which have improved. Compare
the st. Nicholas of today with king
ston's Magazine for Boys" of forty
years ago. And yet Kingston's was
considered a wonderful production in
its day. And so it was. Fancy the
emancipated child of today being
brought up on diet of Sanford and
Merton, Maria Edgworth's or Miss Ka-
vanagh's moral tales and the dialogues
of Mrs. Mercer and DR.. Aiken. And
then the awful Woodcuts. The moral
gentleman always appeared in stove
pite hat and swallow-tailed coat and
nankeen breeches and low shoes, even
when bearing the blessings of civili-
zation and rum to the aboriginal
heather in the wids.
But if one goes further back and
studies the literature of the young of
last century, one finds something very
wonderful indeed. 1t was a coarse age
in spite of much veneer of refinement.

FEIG TO PULL OFF THE

Henry Feig, Atwater, member of

those figures will about be reversed.

hands this year, and I am not one of
those who think he will be able to de-
feat Mr.. Ringdal by a larger majority
than that which he obtained over Mr..

Ringda( has an excellent legislative
record, but upon national issues he is
completely out of touch with the voters

AS an interesting commentary upon
the loud claims OF the republican press
OF this state on the eve of the last cleo
tion, that a change of administration
would plunge the state into financial
bankruptcy, we call attention to the
wave OF bank failures in the cities of
the state Immediately following repub-
Jican victory. In connection with re-
cent republican attempts to credit the
late wheat boom to republican admin
istration in the nation, we call the at
tention OF the farmers uf Minnesota to
the recent shrinkage of over fifty cents
per bushel in the price of their staple
product. From this fraudulent and
fake ''prosperity" of an approaching
money standard and so-called repub-
lican "business'' administration,
based upon famines in foreign lands
and gambling in wheat pits and on
stock exchanges, we appeal to a stable
just and enduring prosperity resting
upon fundamental economic principles
and upon the great and tried causes of
the worlds political, moral and mater
ial progress.

1t is impossible to conceive how
many agencies are being employed to
corrupt the minds and morals of our
young people. It must have been
shocking to the parents of children
attending grammar school in New
York City, when they discovered that
the keeper of a candy shop just OPP
posite the school, had been selling
what is known as whiskey drops to
their children for several months. A
whiskey drop is a fine CONNECTION
coated with chocolate and contains
half a thimbleful of the strongest H.
quor. Nothing could be devised which
is better calculated to awaken an ap-
petite for drink. 1t appears that for
many weeks parents had noticed that
their children we're drowsy without
cause. Teachers reported that during
school hours they often fell asleep
over their work. This condition OF
affairs led to an investig cation which
caused the arrest of the proprietor of
the candy store. At last accounts he
was locked up on charge of violating
the excise law. His punishment will
be light compared to the awful work
he has been doing.

The Peoples Party of Minnesota, as
sembled in it's fourth state convention,
points with pride to the progressive
and courageous stand which it has
ever taken on the great economic and
political questions forced upon the ma

the national and state platforms of
1892, 1894 and 1896 as the embodiment
o: the highest ideals of political faith,
hope, justice and progress of the time,
resting, as they do, upon the cardinal
principle of the federal constitution
that it is the prime function of the
government to promote the general
welfare, and upon the fundamental
doctrine of the Declaration of indie
pendence, that to secure to all the
rights to life, liberty and the pursuit
of happiness governments are institu-
ted among men, deriving their just
powers from the consent of the gov
erned.
