If the powers were able to keep
from crash when the Greeks were
flying at the Threats of the Turks, and
when everyone was prophesying that
war, the long talked Of war, must en-

about.
The fact is all civilized nations dread
a war. They are so inter-dependent,
that even victory inhicts enormous
losses upon the victor, totally apart
from the actual sacrifice of blood and
treasure in the war. The object OF
statesmen is to obtain their successes
by a series of compromises. And this
is the actual condition of affairs in

AN INTERESTING REPORT.

Consul General Haywood's report
upon coffee culture on the Hawaiian
Islands, was published in the advance
sheets of the Consular Reports on
January II, 1898. The report occupies
twenty-six pages and has also tabulat-
ed information of twenty-nine coffee
plantations upon the Island of Ha-
wall, embracing the Olaa, Puma and
Hamakua districts. The information
is put in crisp, newsy form, and re-
fleets credit upon the Consul General,
not only for the amount obtained, but
for the manner in which it has been
put together.
After telling of how many coffee
plantations there are, Mr.. Haywood
speaks of the school system, the chur-
ches and labor. Upon labor he gives
a suggestion of j. NJ. Horner of Hama
l<ua, who says that it would be a
good plan to invite Hawaiians to a. Sc
ries of luaus upon condition of their
picking a certain number of berries a
daV, but this must be sarcasm. lie
gives other views which are much
more practical, especially that of Har-
ry Rycroft OF Puma.
Following this the Consul-General
enters upon the methods of acquiring
lands, of actual cultivation, clearing
cost of building, choice of plants anc
so forth, and figures cost upon basi.
supplied by Commissioner Marsden
the whole being very valuable to the
intending coffee planter.
Mr.. Haywoods advisory remarks al
the conclusion of the article are essen
tally to the point. He shows that cof
| fee is no ell dorado from which man
may reap a fortune merely by his
| sinews. He points out that an invest
ment of at least $4,000 is required, ani
that $4,000 is better. He shows how
people of certain incomes in the Unit
ed States may find a pleasant home
and return for their money
Throughout he gives good information
and is conservative in his views. The
report is a credit to the Consular de
partment of the United States.
