Trade With Hawaii.

Facts relative to our trade WITH
Hawaii are Of especial interest at this

Der Of the Summary Of Finance and
Commerce to be issued by the national
bureau of statistics, and which will
contain a series of tables relative to
this subject. Will afford a fund of re-
liable and desired information.
From the above compilation it APP
pears that since the reciprocity treaty
Of 1876, prior to which, save in two eX-
ceptional eases, HaWaii's imports from
this country never reached the value
of $1,000, 900 American products have
found a constantly increasing market
there. The year following, 1877, the
million mark was permanently passed
and the progress has been quite steady
until this year the amount of our goods
sold in Hawaii promises to reach &c.
100000. In 1871 Hawaii was taking
about one-third of her imports from
the United States. Today she is TAX
ing more than tWO-thirds
Naturally the amount of her, prod
ucts which now find a market in the
United States is considerably larger
than it was twenty years ago. In 1875
only about 81 per cent of HaWaii's eX-
| ports came to this country. Since the
treaty of reciprocity we have been get
| ting about 80 per cent. To sum up we
have bought since 1876 of Hawaii $780,
10000 of her 5000, 600 exports and
sold her $40, 000,0 900 of her 500 900, 900
imports. The principal products
| Hawaii has sold to US are sugar, rice,
coffee bananas, and pineapples. a class

Reflections OF a Married Man.

The girl who feels of her back hair
oftrncst wears a switch.
When . Girl says she hates man,
she is almost ready Ia love him.
\ wonan's most agreeable friend is
she Who always agrees with her.
The majority of women off the stage
are not as bad as they paint them
selves.
a happily married man always
knows the cost of his Wife's latest
gown before he praises it.
y woman is never as intoxicated as
she looks: man always twice as
drunk as YOU think he is.
1t isn't the man who spends the most
money on a girl that proves the easiest
catch, as almost any honest married
woman will testify.
y man learns more about woman
during the month after marriage than
he ever dreamed of in the two years
he went With her before.
The first disturbing thought after the
honeymoon Is to wonder how he could
have Travelled 50 far every night in the
week before marriage merely to be
with her.-NeW York Press.
1t takes marriage to demonstrate
what a poor cook the average talented
girl is. And the hardest part of this
truth is that the husband discovers it
long before it daWns on her
The most incomprehensible phase Of
a married woman's love is that which
commiserates With man after a hard
hot days work, and then cautions him
to make sure that all the windows are
fastened before he goes to bed.

Repeated dispatches from Manila
seem to leave no room for doubt that
the Spanish domination of the Philip
pines is at an end and that the insur-
gents can take the capital at any time,
if Dewey gives consent. They appear
to acknowledge his authority, however,
and are restraining themselves with a
degree of discipline not at all compati-
BILE with their reputation for savagery
and lawlessness. In fact, their conduct
toward the Spanish is in strong and
favorable contrast with the behavior
of the Spanish toward them, as their
chief leader, Aguinald0, is quite shreWd
enough to point out. Though the Span
sh governor set Il price on his head
and he has been stabbed and poisoned
by Spanish bravoes, yet when the Wife
and children of the governor fell into
his hands, he treated them well and
promised them freedom. 1t is urged
that the "Filipinos" are unfit for self
government. but incidents like this,
and their conduct in the prosecution of
the war. would indicate that they are
at least as fit to govern themselves as
the Spanish are to govern them.

Cuba now has a navy. 1t is small as
yet, consisting of only one yacht cap
tured by the Yankees and given 10 the
Cubans, but, like the proverbial acorn,
large results may be expected to grow
from it.tA navy, even Of one vessel,
implies port, and that as we have
been told repeatedly by the authorities
on international law, is the first
requisite.to independent existence as a
nation. So, in the little Alfredo, the
Cuban Republic begins to take tangi-
bic shape. In fact, it is. if not the
first, the strongest evidence of the
actual existence of de facto Cuban
government.

If we combine the ships that recently
entered Santiago with those al Havana
and those crossing the Atlantic our
fleet will be invincble. This coming

find itself in 4 position to act without
hindrance' There is much truth in
these statements. If the Spanish fleets
in the Cuban waters combine with that
which left Cadiz yesterday the situ2-
ton Will be materially altered. Also, if
the Spanish fleet at Manila had dc
feated Dewey, the condition of affairs
would be greatly changed. Even if the

were actually coming across the At

The grandiloquent proclamations of
Don Carlos furnish n good key to his
character. He is a man of large self
conceit and small mental calbre. 1t is
among the possibilities that events
may so shape themselves as to place
him upon the Spanish throne, although
this scarcely seems probable at the
present time. Such an event would
only sink Spain more deeply in the
mire of irretrievable disaster. If Don
Carlos was anything more than a
boaster he would be somewhere III the

the farmer has this advantage over
other producers: If he cannot sell his
wares, he can eat them.
