The consumption of coffee in the
United States has increased &C per
cent during the last twenty years.
The consumption now is about 10
pounds per head. 1t is exceeded only
by the consumption in Holland, Den
mark and Belgium. In Holland the
average is % pounds head, in Den
mark Is, and in Belgium II. France,
which many people consider a coffee
drinking country, only consumes 3
pounds a head. In England the aver
age is less than 1 pound per head. In
the United States coffee drinking is
constantly on the increase, and with
increased consumption of coffee comes
increased consumption of sugar. Both
these tropical products will for long
time find an ever increasing market

FRIDAY. OCTOBER T, 1898,

The heavy rains up the valley have
caused quite a rush of water down
Nuuanu stream. In point of fact the
stream has never been dry all the sum-
though not a large one. This is
mainly due to the fact that the gras-
SEES and roots in the upper part of the
valley are now preserved and retain
moisture. When cattle occupied the
upper part, many of these were de-
stroyed, and the water ran off very
quickly. There was freshet, and
then a dry stream bed.

A TRIAL OF TEMPER.

That present conditions should try
mems tempers is by no means to be
surprised at. A transistory stage is
always one of uncertainty, and I'M
certainty is far harder to bear than
reality. To begin with, the planter is
troubled about the future of his la
Dor supply He cannot get Chinese;
will he be allowed to have as many
japanese as he wishes? If not, where
is he to turn for his labor? Can he
get italians? Can he get negroes?

be tried at Eva be a success? All
these are questions incident to the
present situation, and they make him
uneasy,

gins to wonder whether he will be ov-
erwhelmed by tide of people who
will underbid him at his work. 1t is
no use to point out to him that there
are reasons why this cannot and will
not occur, he has got uneasy and will
remain so till facts prove that he is
wrong.
The question of franchise is eXer-
cising the minds of all classes. The
Hawaiians are deeply interested in it,
so are the Portuguese. Each section
of the community is interested in it,,
Upon it depends the future of the ter

into the hands of the Minister of Tn
terror the right TO object to the cree
ton or establishment of undesirable
lodging houses in certain localities.
But under this apparently trivial ques-
ton lies the principle of decentraliza-
ton which all free communities should
aim at.
In the past there was inevitably
much Capitalization of power The
population was not of a kind that
could manage its own affairs. The
Hawaiian had always been accuston-
ed to do as his chief bid him. 1t has
taken many years to get emancipated
from the feudal idea, and in many ca
SEES, unconsciously, the idea is still
dominant. But there has been coming
into the country and there will con-
tinue to come into the country class
which is quite capable of looking af-
ter its own affairs, class which re-
will or within of a Minister, when what
is wanted should be either answered
in the negative or in the affirmative by
the citizens themselves as their right.
1t matters not how good and how
impartial Minister may try to be- he
is but human and he must have his
likes and his dislikes. 1t stands to
reason that the man who has the Min
listers regard has a better chance of
obtaining what he desires than he
who has his emnty. \ Minister un-
der any circumstances has a great deal
of power, but those who have the maxi
ing of the laws should ever strive to
keep that power down. A man or
woman should be able to go to the
Minister and say, 81 want certain
thing under the law; it is my right"
Or citizens should be able, as in the
case under argument, to say: "We
don't want a certain thing done; it
10 Jul iiShl W ObJeci, anu you must
see that our objection is carried out"
This is the proper attitude for the free
citizen, and not that of the humble
and crook-backed suppliant, who gets
the man in power aside, and says, "Oh,
Mr.. Minister, there's a little thing i'm
which you can oblige me, now won't
you do it for ME; the law says that
you have the discretion, please use it
in my case" Such plea is disguest-
ing to the man who believes in the alb
solute freedom of the citizen and in
the doctrines of equality. 1t reminds
one of Shylock's sin bondsman's
key, with bated breath and whispering
humbleness." Doing things in this
manner produces sycophants. The
Star believes in breeding men.

THE LOSS OF THE MAINE.

The sinking of the battleship Maine.
while at anchor in the harbor of Ha-
vana. is one of the most startling and
appalling of naval disasters. As to
how the disaster happened, it is idle
to speculate. BY this time the people
of the United States know, for the
hull must have been examined and a
detailed report telegraphed by the
18th or 10th of this month.
1t is the frightful suddenness of the
disaster that strikes one. Comparison
is made to the Samoan disaster, but
there the loss of life was not so great,
and there was the sharp, hard strug-
gle with the bowling elements. 1t is
again compared with the loss of the
Victoria, but that, unexpected as it
was. and dreadful in its results, oc-
Cured by daylight and was in the OPP
en- sea. But this occurred in the ev-
ening. most of the men were asleep in
their hammoclls. the officers were
chatting lightly in the wardroom af-
ter dinner, and suddenly, without war
ming, there is roar and a crash, and.
out of 354 souls on board the i'll fated
ship, 253 were hurled into eternity,
many of them in all probability pass
ing without knowledge from the sleep
of life into the sleep of death.
For suddenness and much of the sur
runding circumstances the loss of the
Maine reminds one of the loss of the
Royal George. She was lying at an

ANNEXATION NEWS.

The annexation news by the Zea-
landia was completely overshadowed
by the frightful disaster to the battle
ship Maine. The latest from Wash
ington, however, says there is no
change in the conditions, the fifty
eight Senators in favor of annexation
are lined up like solid wall, and the
fight to gain over two more Senators
continues, chiefly outside the house.
According to "A telegram from New
York, dated February 18th, the debate
upon the treaty was to be continued
for fortnight from that date. At the
end of that time it would be decided
whether a vote should be taken or a
joint resolution be introduced.
Senator Davis seems to be quite sat
listed with the situation and claims
that when the time arrives for the
final vote he will marshal into line the
required number. This iibes with in
formation received by The Star last
mail. The Executive, in whose conf
dence Senator Davis is, has all along
been satisfied that when the final eff
fort came they would land the two
votes.
From all Indications. both private
and public, Speaker Reed is evidently
firm in his attitude of assisting the
treaty through the House, should it
be necessary. Everything points now
to speedy solution of the long vex-
ed question. The only difficulty that
looms up at this moment from coming
to solution is the Spanish one.
Should it be proved that the Maine
was blown up treacherously, the Unit
ed States as nation will attend to no
other subject for some weeks to come.
As this, however, from all information
at hand seems unlikely, it is probable
that the Senate will settle down to
business and the Treaty will become
law.

DISCHARGED CoNyICTs.

The matter OF "deporting" the conyicts
discharged from the Virginia pententi-
airy is still engaging public attention
Too many Of them are disposed to make
Richmond their home. They like this
city. but our people do not like them. We
wish 20 be rid of them as soon as posi-
BILE, and inasmuch as the State furnishes
them with transportation back TO the
places from which they were sent. it
seems not unreasonable to expect them
10 leave here as soon as the prison doors
are opened to them.
Nor do we see any great legal difficult
ties in the way OF Fastening their depart
ure Most of the convicts were suspi-
cious characters before going to the peni-
Tertiary, and 1t is hardly TO be presumed
that they are less so upon coming out.
That would be a safe rule for our police
to work upon. There might be exceptions
to tho rule, but those exceptions could be
easily learned by our officers communi-
eating with the penitentlary officials.
The presence here OF gangs of ex-con-
yicts is menace 20 property and good
order, and IS hardship that the Legisla-
turc never meant TO impose upon this
city. The Dispatch IL glad TO hear that
