Representatives, in Washington Ct
the leading powers are impressed
with the hopelessness Of Spain con-
tinuipg the unequal struggle, and
they Will probably advise Spain TO
give up Cuba, promise war indem-
nifty and allow Dewey to remain in

On account of physical disabili-
ties, Dr. Hydrick of Orangeburg,
who was recently appointed by Gov
ernor EIlerbe one of the surgeons of
the regimento Of South Carolina troops,
failed to pass the medical examiua-
ton and DR.. J. A. Mood. Of Sumter,
has been appointed in his stead.
The war department proposes to
divide the State troops, sending
some from each State to Cuba and the
other portion to Coicamagua. This
does not meet with approval of the
troops and they Lave protested
against the plan saying that the vol
unteers of each State are anxious to
keep together.
The war revenue bill was probably
received in the Senate today from
the House. It will prove to be
big bone OF contention, however, as
the bond feature is not at all accept
able to tie Democrats who would
much prefer to authorize the issue
Of greenbacks as a substitute.
An important war measure has
passed the Senate. It authorizes
the President and the general officers
Of the army to supply. the Cuban in-
surgents with arms and munitions OF

army serving in Cuba to supply the
needy inhabitants of The island with
medicine and subsistence.
A French ship which was endeav-

Havana, was captured by our vessels
al d towed to Key West by prize
crew, and subsequently released. She
carried passengers, mail and mer-
chandize. Her owners will demand
big indemnity for her seizure and
detention and the French government
will support the demand. Her seizure
is regarded as a bad blunder.
There was meeting Of the colored

THE STARS ONWARD MARCH.

Three months ago the directors of
the Hawaiian Star Newspaper Asso-
citation decided to purchase an addi-
tional linotype for the Stars plant.
In due time the order was placed and
the machine is now in Honolulu. 1t
arrived yesterday on the bark II. p.
Rithet. When this linotype is INSTALL
ed and in working order, The Stars
mechanical facilities for getting out
a newspaper will not be eXcelled by
any journal in the Islands-in fact,
but one office will be on an equal foot
ing.
The Star has always kept up with
the march of progress in this coun-
try. AS the town grows, so this paper
grows. The newspapers are increas-
ing in Importance every day and the
one that gives the most news is the
one the people will buy and read. The
Star gives the news; it is bought and
read; business men were quick to rec
ognize the fact, and, as a result, The
Star has heavy advertising patron
age. Since its inception, The Stars
progress has been upward and on
ward, until today, it is the best pay
ing paper in the whole group. This
happy situation has been brought
about by much hard work and liber-
al expenditure of money.
In speaking about success in jour
nalism, Frank Munsey recently said:
81 wonder if you have ever noticed
how the people tie to the successful
journal. They won't have the bank
rupt journal. 1t doesn't so much mat
ter to them whether the manufacture
er of the boots they wear is making
or losing money, but it does matter a
good deal to them whether the news.

and to greater or less extent for
guidance, is successful business EN-.
terprise. The impression somehow
gets hold of them that the unsuccess.
full publication cannot afford to buy
the best news, cannot afford to have
the best talent on its editorial staff
and at hundred points is at such a
disadvantage that it cannot be as re-
liable as the profitable and well es-
tablished journal. To secure public
confidence then, a publication must
be made Il financial success"
The Star is successful, and it will
continue to be successful. 1t gives
the people what they want and their
support follows.

France is on the brink of revolution.
1t has nursed its army to such effect
that it is now threatened with militia
ry despotism. The military authori-
ties have made up their minds that
Dreyfus shall not be retired. The civ
il authorities have made up their
minds that he shall. As the military
authorities stand now charged with
forgery, false information, perjury
and even murder, in order to carry
their point, it is evident that such
little matter as getting rid of the pres
ent form of government is not likely
to stand in their way. The danger
to Latin countries always lies in the
army. Had the Zulu assegai not cut
one of the Gordian knots of French
politics, this would have been a great
opportunity for the Napoleonic fac
ton, but that is as dead as ditch wa
ter now.

KONA'S SUGAR PROSPECTS.

To a number of people the state
ment that Kona was coming into the
field as a sugar growing district and
adding that to its coffee industry will
be matter of surprise. According
to the present estimate 1000 tons of
sugar are expected from Kona next
year. But Kona had an extensive SUI
gar plantation as far back as 1865,
and probably earlier. This was stu
ated above Kealakekua, and the fur
rows of cultivation can still be seen
in the grass land. The cane raised
was of very fine quality, and there
was every prospect of success, but a
period of drought destroyed the crops
and the plantation was abandoned.
The Pacific ocean and its environ
ment is subject to periodical droughts.
Some observers have put these cycles
at eleven years and have tried to
makes them agree with the maximum
period of the sun spots, but there is
no certainty about the theory. But
undoubtedly these periods of drought
| come and seriously affect the crops
and the cattle industry.
Australia has just passed through a
terrible ordeal, and we had couple
of years ago a little experience of a
drought but nothing like the drought
of the sixties and seventies. Then
we guard against droughts now, in a
manner which was unknown in those
decades. We store water and we take
/ toll of natures natural stores with
our pumping plants and thus we are
enabled to meet a crisis and fairly tide
it over.
But the Kona plantation of the six
ties depended entirely upon the rains
/ of heaven and when the skies remain
ed month after month like brass, the
plantation withered, that was all, and
a few years ruined it. But the cane
produced there was fine.
Again in 1890 an attempt was made
to grow cane in Kona, and the crop
proved the excellence of the soil, but
this time the capital gave out, the ma
chinery for the mill was never erect
ed and the cane went to fatten beef
which appeared on Honolulu tables
The present venture promises bet
ter than any others, for water sup
ply has been tapped and dry season
can be met and tided over. If sue
cess crowns this effort we shall have
another industry added to Kona, and
other plantations will be established.
The coffee industry has done much
for Kona, but there are other indus
tries which can be introduced, and the
time will come when the district will
probably be among the richest on the
Hawaiian Islands. This third experi
ment with sugar will be watched with.

TWO PICTURES.

Look at this picture and on that. A
soldier has been under trial by court
martial in the camp for being drunk
while in uniform, and raising a little
rumpus of his own. He runs the
risk of being imprisoned for some
months. The story has been told in
these columns some days ago. To re-
capitulate, this man, not a drinking
man, went to a native house and was
persuaded to drink some swipes I'M
der the impression that it was harm
less and notwithstanding. He did
not know how swipes were manufact-
ured and how fortified. He got drunk
and he was duly arrested.
On the other hand a couple of Off
GERS get hilariously drunk, tear round
the town with an escort at their heels,
proclaim martial law, with no more
right for doing so than to proclaim
themselves President of the United
States, insult citizens and then the
whole affair is hushed up. There is
no courtmartial, even the Hawaiian
civil authorities are cowed into letting
the matter drop, when there were
those of them who were perfectly rea-
dy TO carry the law out, and there
seems every wish to allow the matter
to drop out of sight. But it must not
drop out of sight.
And it is not justice, nor is it likely
