SACCHARINE.

This article is said to interfere with
the sale of sugar, and may, in the
course of time, have an important
bearing on its production.
1t is the product of coal oil, and was
discovered by Professor Remsen, while
making researches at the Johns Hop
k ms University. 1t is a mineral pro-
duct. 1t has sweetening power of
$50 times that of sugar. 1t can be, and
now is manufactured in large quaint
ties and is for sale especially in Ger
many. 1t is believed that it is used
largely in the adulteration of food, and
efforts may be made to forbid its sale.

EXPANDING SUGAR PRODUCTION.

The recent purchase of a large
tract of land in the Island of Mo
lokai, the recent organization of the
Oahu Sugar Company, the search
for artesian water ON Lanai, and
other places, is quite conclusive
evidence that sugar production
will be largely increased.
The general sentiment of the
community is decidedly in favor of
it. 1t brings money into the coun-
try, increases the trade in provi-
sions and goods, and brings high
wages to the mechanics in town.
Everyone gets a pull" out of it.

AT , KAWAIAHAO.
Complete Success of Benefit
Concert.

Concert.
A concert to raise money for the
chapel at Kamoiliili, was held in the
Sunday school rooms of KawaiahaC
church last night before an audience Of
hundred or more, including quite q
number of prominent people. The pro
gram given was as follows:
Song by people of the Makiki branch
church of Kawaiahao.
Music by a number of Kawaiahao
Seminary girls with accompaniment by
Miss Hannah
Music by the Kamehameha Alumni
glee club.
Short speech by Mr.. T. H Davies.
Song by Paul R. Isenberg.
Story by Simeon Nawaa
Violin solo by ]. Kumalei
Music by singers from Waikiki.
Music by Kamehameha Alumni glee
club.
Short speech by Jas. Hakuole.
Song by Miss Nolte.
Music by a number of Kawaiahao
Seminary girls.
Music by glee club from the North
Pacific Institute.
The announcements were made by
David All who had charge of the even
ing's entertainment.
The Kawaiahao Seminary girls sang
very we'll as they always do. The
blending of their voices was very
pleasant to listen to. The alumni glee
club of Kamehameha also proved
pleasant feature of the evening.
Miss Nolte gave a soprano solo so
well that she was called upon to re-
spond to an encore. She played her own
accompaniment Paul R. Isenberg, Ho-
nolulu's famous tenor singer, favored
the audience with delightful solo and
then responded to a hearty encore.
His accompaniment was played by
Miss Nolte.
Mr. Davies, in addressing his audi
ence, said that he had not accepted an
invitation to be present with an idea of
speaking, but since he had been urged
by Rev. Parker, he felt that he must
say something. Mr.. Davies took as his
text: Like as a father pitieth his
children even so the Lord pitieth them
that fear" He told the story of one
of his children-how the little fellow
had run up to him one day and, plac-
ing his little hand in his, fell to walk
ing contentedly by his side. Upon
asking the child why it was he did
this, the little one replied: Because
love you So" This had always come
back to him whenever he thought of
the text: Like as a father pitieth his
children" The speaker then addressed
the young people particularly and told
them that it would not do to place
their hand in that of the Saviour and
then withdraw it. To live the Chris
tian life was to follow continually.
At the conclusion of the evenings
exercises, light refreshments were
served.

LAND VALUES.

Some of the recent sales OF resi-
dental and agricultural property
show an extraordinary and rapid
rise of values. 1t is impossible to
ascertain the average rise, which
would furnish the means of form
ing some opinion about its real
character. 1t has certainly an I'M
healthy look, if the course of real
estate in other countries is consid-
cred. The valuations of residen-
tial property in American cities,
with the same population as that
of this place, and where there are
many diversified industries, are, on
the whole less than they are here.
In very many cases, remarkably
less.

MONEY AGAINST GUNS.

The British find it cheaper, to
fight the great European Powers,
with money, rather than with
fleets. Instead of wasting several
hundred millions in war, she lends
China $S0,000,000. The Powers
cannot prevent it. Then, in return,
she obtains concessions from China,
for the opening up of a great rail
way system in Western China,
which will bring the trade of that
section to Burmah and India. This
in time, will be worth dozen
treaty ports. The Great Powers
look ON and see the commercial
trick, but cannot do anything.
We, of the Americans, see all
this, wave the Star Spangled Ban
ner, pull the tail of the Eagle until
he screams, and then-are afraid
Of getting our feet wet in the Pa
cifc ocean.
In the silent and blood-less war
fare, now going on in the East,
England seems to be quietly get
ting the best of it, through the
back doors of the Chinese Empire.

IN CIRCUIT COURT.
February Term Opens With Many
Cases On Docket.

Cases On Docket.
The February term of the Circuit
Court opened yesterday morning with
1OS cases on the calendar. Thus far
there are 16 criminal cases, 5 of which
are for the Hawaiian jury and of
these are for maintaining a lottery.
The jury was called at 10 o'clock and
was excused until the afternoon ses-
sion when it was expected that the
first criminal case would go on. Mean
while in the two appeal cases from the
District Court of Honolulu, Republic
VS.. Parker Lewis for assault and bat
terry, and Republic VS.. W. Manaole
alias Keolanui for maintaining lot
terry, the appeals were withdrawn and
the fines paid.
At the opening of the afternoon ses-
sion it was announced that in the case
of the Republic VS.. S. Paaluhi. Kalua
Alapai and Puou. for maintaining lot
terry, the last two defendants had
withdrawn their appeal and a nolle
prosequi entered against Paaluhi. The
criminal cases will go on before Judge
Stanley this morning. Judge Perry
will hear the ejectment suit of Halea
VS.. Kaauwana.

was extremely small. Conditions
subsequently changed.
The land values of Honolulu are
mainly dependent upon the wages
paid by the plantations, and by the
employers of labor in the city.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1898-02-08

So the community cordially en-
dorses "these developments of oul
industrial resources"
When the question is asked what
is the effect of these developments
on the political and social condi-
tons, the man who is asked, puts
on weary look and replies that
there is no use in trying to cross
bridges until you come to them. :"
If you say it means more Asiatic
''invasions" of laborers, which we
are so desperately fighting-on
paper, the reply is Eve must de-
velop our resources" and you
cannot get square or intelligent
answer.
There is surely no wisdom in
quarreling with the political policy
of business men, which in all ages,
among all races, and under all con-
ditions is based as a general rule on
realizing the visable dollar. No
statesman ever made much head
way in quarreling with such a po-
Icy.
The sequal of it is, and always
has been, the survival of the fit
test. The final loss and suffering
which comes out of it to the mass
of the people is regarded as the
discipline which an All-wise Prov
idence inficts on man.
The labor problem, which has
much to do with our prosperity is
full of embarrassing questions. The
existence here of an immense ma
jority of males over females makes
a simply damnable condition of
things. Any increase in Asiatic la
Dor increases the embarrassment.
The project of white labor has
been generally abandoned because
it involves civilization rather than
the visable dollar. The stream of
difficulties which rises from these
racial sources, especially Asiatics,
is still some ways ahead. What is
he use of now building bridges to
cross it? Can that not be done over
night, when the stream is reached,
ust as pOntoon bridges are built
over rivers in a night, in war
.ime?
There is a vague theory preva-
ent, that annexation will act like a
watch regulator, and keep the poll
ical machinery working in correct
line. 1t will unquestionably pre-
vent it from flying to pieces, but
he friction of the racial wheels will
generate abundance of noise and |
leat, and the racial politicians will |
9our plenty of sand on them.

THE SOUTHERN STATESMEN.

publishes his views IN the 1ndepen'
dent On. Y. on the policy of an
nexation. He says: ''Since 1867
we have acquired no new territory,
This arises from no failure of the
policy of expansion, which we had
so constantly followed up to that
time. On the contrary, whatever
mistakes we may have made in 9th
er directions our policy of territor-
ial expansion has been a complete
success. There is not an inch of
territory annexed by the United
States since 1888, that we are not
glad to have; there is not a foot of
it, we would give up; not a square
mile which has not added to our
wealth, our revenues and our safe
ty. The policy of annexation has
been as true in its course and as adj
mirable in its results as the great
popular instinct which dictated it. !"
This is excellent of course. While
the American Congress is settling
this policy, so far as Hawaii is con-
cerned, it is a singularly interesting
question, why it is that the Demo
cratic party generally opposes it. 1t
cannot be on the ground that an
nexation generally is only "Repub-
lican doctrine," because it has been
a national policy, in which all par
ties united.
The Congressional representa-
tives of the Southern States, near
ly all of them Democrats, with the
exception of Senator Morgan and
several others, act largely on the
inherited ideas of Southern men,
These were found during the slav-
cry period. That period fostered
provincialism in its worst form. 1t
confined craftsmanship to the in
terests of the South only. 1t OPP
posed protection" because the
South manufactured nothing, and
wanted to buy in the very cheapest
market. It saw no need for COM
mercial expansion, because cotton
had steady and unsolicited mar
ket.
While the war broke up the con
ditions which fostered provincial
ism, it requires more than a gener-
alton to break up an old and fixed
habit of thought. The South has
no great commerce beyond its cot
ton trade. 1t manufacturers little
besides pig iron and some cotton
goods. The Southern statesman is
a most proficient local politician.
Able and active as he is, his mind
does not work on large commercial
questions, which involve foreign af-
fairs, because the minds of his con-
do not work on them. His,
and their thought is shaped by the
fact that cotton needs no protec-
ton, needs no bounty, and is the
one great stable and money getting
crop of the world, less liable to
fluctuations than any other.
The matter of Hawaiian annex
alton does not interest him. South
ern cotton will sell, even if these
Islands were owned by China.
We, of course, feel sadly, that
he does not take "broad views"
But our views were not very
''board" until we got into a scrape,
and were frightened. If he would
only get scared as we have been
scared, he would take more interest
in the matter. Senator Morgan is
the singular noticeable exception.

What is our prosperity as it APP
pears in public and official docu-
ments!
The political economists say,
with partial truth, that the exports
of nation determine its wealth.
If the exports of the United States
are compared with the number of
the inhabitants, it will appear that
If the value of last years exports
were divided up among the 49,
100000 of men, women and chill
dren, each one would be credited
with $12. If the exports of Ha-
wall for the last wear were divided
mp in the same way, between the
100000 inhabitants, each one
would be credited with about $3.50,
or about II times as much as each
American gets. Deducting the
debts due to the buying countries,
leaves the balance of trade. Only
estimates of this can be given, in
either case, because there is no pub
lie record of many items that vary
this balance, such as commissions,
interest and dividend account. The
Customs returns are misleading
and insufficient.
The statement of our export
trade indicates, beyond question,
the great prosperity of the Islands,
even when the figures are reduced
by our foreign Indebtedness. This
prosperity finds it way into land
values for business and residential
objects. Mere speculation has, of
course, something, but compare
lively little, to do with it.
But we have here, no diversified
industries, which are intrinsically
stable, excepting that of coffee. We
are gambling on American legis-
lation. Our making or breaking,"
with OF without annexation, de-
ponds upon the attitude of a few
gentlemen in Washington, who fire.
quently act on their whims. So
long as we are dependent on them,
our commercial life, andseur pros
perity, is protracted gamble. If
we lose on the turn of the cards,
the number of our inhabitants will
not sustain high real estate values.
Contract all wages and their values
tumble IN. We have seen land
values in the city of Philadelphia
with a population of 100000,
fall in some places, as low as they
were hundred years before, when
the place was village.
Residential property, near the
Capitol in Washington city, on the
North Side, was about as low in
1875 as it was in 1906, in spite of
its large growth. 1t was not pros
porous place. The wage account
The Hawaiian gazette., 1898-02-08

The prosperity of place, soon
er or later, expresses itself in the
values of business and residential
property. But it is the current
prosperity of all classes, especially
the wage-earners that fixes these
prices. The millionaire cuts a
small figure in it. 1t is the rents
that give value and the wages de-
termine the rents.
The surprising rise of values is
caused, not so much by the increase
of population, as by general pros
perity.
