Miss Janet Jennings, the clever
Washington correspondent of the n Y.
Tribune, writes to us that if the Cuban
matter is settled without war. Con-
gress will be anxious to adjourn at
once. The friends of annexation will
make an effort to pass the joint reso-
luton, but may not succeed in getting
the subject before the Senate and
House. Should they fail, the matter
will be brought up at the next meeting
Of Congress in December. Miss Jen-
nings speaks of the good impression
made by the visit of President and
Mrs. Dole 1t convinced some people
that this Government was not compos-
ed of thieves and pirates" as the Ma
ton asserts it is. 1t was 9 sad day
for Extremists, in the States, repre-
scented by the Nation. that Mr.. Dole did
not appear in a black flannel shirt,
with a belt full of cartridges, a brace
of pistols very apparent, and a couple
of knives in his boot legs. The Ma

which come within the means of the
native youths of both sexes, that will
place them beyond this severe and
grinding and increasing home compe-
tition? That such industries may be
created goes without saying. But it is
true, and it is a discouraging truth,
that it requires rare ability and organ
izing power to make even a small in
dustry successful. The man who can
make success of an industry, gener-
ally takes care of himself first. And
if he is true and rare Apostle Of In
dustry, missionary to the heather
who have never seen the light Of thor
ough training-he is usually handicap
ped by the men behind him. Here is
the rub. A genuine Apostle of Indus
try is usually a crank He undertakes
new projects. Conservative men are
naturally not fond of new projects. 1t
means pioneering, and that is hard
work. One may preach a hundred ser
mons easier than he can successfully
cultivate scientifically an acre of beans.
We can merely hint at the points
involved in securing the best use of
these great charitable gifts to the ma
tives. It is unfortunate that all dis
cussions of this kind, which are gen
orally welcome in business affairs, are
quickly resented by those who admin
lister mixed secular and religious af-
fairs. 1t is the history of charitable
uses. A belief in Revelation, it is said,
saves the soul. But the body which is
the temple of the soul, cannot be saved
by beliefs, but by hard and intelligent
work. 1t is only of late, that those who
charitable uses, see the SUI
preme value of providing for the body. |

A NEW CODE.

Representative Achi introduced last
Friday bill in the House, which con-
tanned new code of civil procedure.
Representative Robertson tried to kill
the bill on the ground that the present
Legislature had not sufficient time to
consider it. This attempt was defeated,
and the matter was sent to the Print
ing Committee.
This proceeding shows the great need
of having several wise lawyers in the
House.
Laymen in England and America
were always growing about the techni-
calities and intricacies of the law.
There was so much ground for COM
plant and the courts made the admin
istration of justice so scandalous. by
all sorts of absurd, trif1ing and illogical
decisions, that the people went into an
instruction about it. Mr.. David Dud-
ley Field of New York City prepared
in 1850 new code of laws for the State
of New York, which regulated pro-
cedure in the courts. Gradually that
code has been adopted by all of the
progressive American States. The Aus
tralian colonies have followed it. Even
the English practice has been some
what modified by it.
The common sense of civilized men
revolts against the refinements of alb
surdities that existed in the old fran
chise A owes B $500 which he refuses
to pay. B sues him. The case comes
before the court The court asks B

fore you brought suit, and if you did

Waikiki and asked him for it, But"
says the court, you have not stated in
your bill of complaint whether you
went to Waikiki to make the demand,
by King street or by Beretania street"
What difference does that make?"
"All the difference in the world. 1 dis
miss your bill. You will pay B his
COSTS"
The new codes endeavor to put aside
such nonsense, and simplify business.
Owing to the influence of tropical
climate on the white man, the pro-
cedure in the Hawaiian Courts has
not changed, and it reflects on the in
telligence of the Bench, the Bar and
the people.
AT last, however, a new code is pre-
pared, with great labor. 1t presents
the best features of the American
codes. 1t gives to the Legislature with
out cost, exactly what is needed. Some
body has been patriotic and ambitious
enough to attempt to put our courts in
line with the American courts. Any

AN INDUSTRY.

Referring to what we have said
above, concerning industries, we pre-
sent the matter of the vanilla bean cul-
tivation on these Islands, because il
Was suggested by Mr.. Young, the King
of Tahiti" who has made a fortune
out of it, as well as out of the pearl
fisheries. He visited these Islands aEout
a year ago, and is known to be the pos
SCISSOR of one of the most valuable col
lections of Polynesian curiosides. He
informed us that many of the natives
of Tahiti made comfortable livings out
of the cultivation and preparation of
this bean. Its market is in the great
cities of the world. He believed that it
nigh be made a valuable industry here,
if the people were properly trained in
its cultivation. The value of the beans
raised in Tahiti in the year 1896, was
100000.
If 100000 were divided among the
heads of families in these Islands, so
that each received $50 per month from
it, about $50 families would receive
support from it, or in all, about 1000
people. The men, the heads of families,
could engage in other work, if neces-
sary, while the women and children
would easily do the light cultivation
and preparation of the article If the
native girls were carefully trained for
several years, in this industry, they
would become, if they choose to be, in
dependent. 1t would open up employ
ment to the Portuguese women as we'll
We are extremely suspicious of fig
ures in projected industrial enterprises.
They "lie" dreadfully. But a statement
made by Mr. Young is entitled to much
credit. Here then is a small industry,
which together with the flower and per-
fume industries, opens a way for the
employment of female labor.
The development of such industries
should not be left to inexperienced per-
sons, who have had no training. The
very best brain and intelligence is re-
quired. Those who have ''the saving
of the Hawaiians" at heart, may take
a lesson from the admirable business
sense of the planters, who put themsel-
yes largely under the guidance of DR..
Maxwell as trained expert.
Whether or not the natives will re-
spond to such methods of training is
another question. The question now is
what is the best administration of a
splendid charitable gift? What is the
best administration of other generous
charitable gifts? If the natives will |
take no advantage of industrial train
ing, there are many growing children
of other races who will.

thoughtful lawyer in the House would
rise and say: Let us thank the man
who has done this protracted work. We
cannot consider it at this session, but
we should put it before the lawyers,
judges and the public, so that at the
next session it may be acted upon with
intelligence
Fortunately. the lay members of the
House refused to follow this attempt of
a lawyer to fling out of the window a
most valuable piece of work, and it was
sent to the Printing Committee.
We believe that if this draft of a new
code of procedure, were submitted to
the absent practitioners in the advan-
ced States of America, they would pro-
nounce it superior, in several respects
to any existing code, and if it is finally
adopted, it will be credit to our juris-
prudence.

Even the Nation, N. Y, forgets for a
moment its naughty remarks about the
"tyrants and pirates" who now domin-
ate these Islands, and shows a warm
side towards benevolent despotism. in

in this volume, to show how in Next

one of municipal adornment and sani-

his will become exceeding great and
