The Iowa Senate recently voted down
a resolution endorsing annexation. On
this the Chicago Chronicle remarks
that it is entirely out of place for a
State Legislature to direct or attempt
10 control the action of Congress. The
State body is entirely separate from the
Federal body. 1t represents sovereign
State, Independent excepting in the ex-
ercise of certain powers which it has
yielded. If the Legislature of State
may instruct Congress, the latter body
may with equal right instruct the State
Legislature.

ANNEXATION ITEMS.

The Hartford Courant, Senator
Hawley's paper, reviews the annexa-
ton situation. 1t assumes that the
votes of nine Senators are yet needed
for the ratification of the treaty.
Whether this is the opinion of Senator
Hawley, who is a strong friend of the
treaty, is not indicated. The Courant
also states that there is a stronger
adverse sentiment in the House than
had been suspected. The applause
which followed the speech of Mr.. John
son of Indiana indicates it. The Cour-
ant, however, believes that if a vote
is taken in the House on a joint reso-
luton for annexation the friends of
annexation will handsomely outnum-
Der its opponents.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1898-03-25

Speaker Reed claims that he has the
right to oppose annexation, not as
Speaker of the House, but as a Rep
resentative. The question is, will not
Mr.. Reed as Speaker, be quite too
friendly towards Mr.. Reed as Repre-
sentative?

When the boom pest" reached Tex
as some eight years ago, it struck the
city of Houston. The merchants and
bankers got together and said: mot
one dollar shall be loaned to boomers
but capital shall be advanced to every
new and solid industry" Nearly ev-
cry other city of Texas was devasted
by the boom pest. Houston alone grew
steadily and score of new industries
were established which make the place
prosperous.

Cautious and observant coffee plan
tiers believe in the coffee industry, with
some reservation however, regarding
the labor supply. When it is prosecut-
ed on common sense rules, like other
well settled industries, it will pay
much better than ordinary farming in
the States. But the boom pest is dan
gerous. Let US keep it out of the coun-
try, if possible.

COFFEE PRICES.

The Advertiser resents the charge
made by the Bulletin, that it de-
preciates or belittles the coffee indus
try. The coffee industry must be gov
erned by business rules. The first of
these rules is ito ascertain the facts.
Now in booming new industries this
rule is utterly, and wickedly, we do
not say maliciously, disregarded
Thirty thousand people in California,
if put on the witness stand, would
solemny testify to the correctness of
this statement. We believe the Gov
eminent publication on the value of the
industry is misleading.
We would like to make the state
ment daily, that Hawaiian coffee is
worth 40 cents per pound, if it were
true. We do know that failure to get
at the truth will only retard, if it does
not destroy this valuable industry.
The Bulletin quotes from CONNER
cial circular published in San Fran
cisco, giving sales of Hawaiian coffee
at 15b cents, Is cents, and II cents
per pound. The 'ttenderfoct" reads
these quotations, and banks on them
But the Bulletin does not tell him
that these are quotations of only the
higher grades Out of 1000 pounds of
berries picked from the trees, only
limited percentage is rated prime, and
sold at the highest price. There are
several grades, each grade with less
value. The lowest grade may bring
only 6 cents per pound. What the
tenderfoot ought to know, and what
we, who wish to put the industry on
a firm basis, must tell him, is what
the average price of all the grades
will bring. This has not yet been
done. We understand that in this
town there are number of very dis
couraging accounts of coffee sales in
San Francisco. These represent the
value of the average grades, and not
the highest.
If you say to disguised fruit raiser
in California: 81 see lemons are quot
ed at $500 per box. Lots of money
in it." He replies: Zone quarter of
my crop graded high and brought that
price, the rest of the crop brings little
or nothing
