A JUST KICK.

Representative Kaeo has brought
up matter, which is being widely
and seriously discussed around town
especially among the men who stood
by the present Government when it
was in "pilikia."
Through question by Mr.. Kaeo,
the Legislature and the country have
learned, that the Minister of Finance
employs in the Custom House eight
men, who are not qualified to vote,
aud whose names cannot be placed
on the register Of voters.
The Minister stated that the rea.
son why he employed these strangers
was that he considered them men
of integrity and ability and knew
them to be supporters of the Gov
ernment.
How the Minister, who we, by the
way, don't believe knows one of the
eight from Adam, can call his pro-
tegees supporters" OF the Republic

arisen to our knowledge, since the
advent of the eight, where the Re-
public had to he supported" OK

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 2, 1898.
A sHoRTsIGHTED POLICY.

The ordinary taxpayer is decidedly
unable to understand the policy Of
the Government, in regard to the
granting to foreign merchant vessels
a Hawaiian register.
The Government fought against
adding the great steamer China and
the steamer Barracuda to our fleet,
and we understand that several
applications for a register have been
refused, and that an attempt will be
made to amend the existing laws in
regard to this matter.
The reasons given by the Govern
ment are that the granting of Ha-
waiian certificates OF registration to
foreign vessels will antagonize the
people of the United States and
strengthen the opposition to the
annexation scheme.
When the China and Barracuda
received Hawaiian registers, not
word was said against this step in
American papers, and no comments
were made even by the most rabid
annexationists in the United States.
The question is, however, whether
the policy of the Government is to
be based altogether on the chimeri-
cal idea OF annexation, or whether
the future interests Of Hawaii, as an
independent Government, are to be
considered.
The Minister of Finance, few
days ago, stated in the Senate that
to his honest conviction and best
belief, the Republic was here to
stay, and his words found ready
echo in the Senate. The Legisla-
ture is here to watch and pro mote
the interests OF the Hawaiian Re-
public, irrespective OF the slim pos
sibilities of the country being an
nexed. And it is certainly in the
interest of Hawaii-nei to have our
flag floating wherever commerce
goes and to increase our merchant
marine.
We understand that an applica-
tion for Hawaiian register has re-
Gently been made for ship ia the
Pacific trade by Colonel Geo. w.
Macfarlaue on behalf of the great
firm of Rosenfeld & Co. OF San Fran
cisco, and that an unfavorable an
swer has been received by the ap-
plicant.
The country will be pleased to
learn, why the Government has
adopted a policy injurious to the
revenues of the country and contrary
to our best interests and to good
common sense.
Will some patriotic Legislator
please ask question in this matter
and thereby at least endeavor to
furnish the taxpayers with much
needed information9

THE TRUANoY LAWS.

There is one law on our Statutes
which should have the special at
tention OF our Legislators, and which
we hope will be amended at the
present session We refer to the
truancy law and to the manner in
which its provisions are carried out.
We ara convinced that the Marshal,
as well as the district magistrate,
are very averse to enforcing the law
in its present form in many of the
instances brought to their notice.
But the law ia there, and they are
obliged to carry it out irrespective
OF personal sentiments. This morn
ing young half-caste boy, not ten
years of age, was brought before the
Court, charged with truancy. The
little fellow was crying, but STAN
mered that he preferred being sent
to the Refornatory school to go.
ing home and to school; a pitiful
case OF uuhappiness unfolded in a
few words. Judge Peterson and
Marshal Brown spoke kindly to the
boy, and tried to elicit the cause Of
his woes, but were answered with
tears. Tho law had to be upheld,
and the youngster was sent to the
Reformatory school for the term Of
one year. A few moments later
young Hawaiian boy OF brazen ap-
pearance, aged about IL years, was
arraigned on "a charge of larceny, to
which he pleaded guilty with an "I-
don't give. a-damn" demeanor, aud
he was sent to the Reformalory
school for six months. The little
crying truant and the merry thief
were then huddled downstairs to
the cells, to be delivered to the Re-
formatory school Ten chances to
one that the crying little truant will
graduate from the Reformatory
school hardened "tough" after
having been cooped up for one year
with the thieves and rogues gath
cred in that place. Truancy is no
crime, but the present system must
necessarily breed criminals. The
authorities are not to blame. We
believe, with all intelligent people,
that compulsory education is wise
policy, but we do claim that our
present truancy laws are menace
to good morals, and that they
should be amended at once. In
London there is in every police
court "missionary" to whom the
Judge refer all cases where pity
rather than punishment is in order,

concentrations are always accepted,

TOBACCO IN CANADA.

Largest Known In That Country.
Montreal, July 2S-The fact that Can
ada this year is growing almost enough
tobacco to supply its own needs and that
Canadian manufacturers Montrealers
among the number, are using the home
grown product in large quantities, Will
come as a great surprise to many. In
the year 1895 there was grown in Canada
not more than 100000 pounds of tobacco,
over 80 per cent of which was grown in
Quebec province. In the following years
the product was about the same, Quebec
growing less and Ontario considerably
more than formerly.
This year a careful estimate leads TO
the conclusion that, II no accident over
takes the crop, not less than 10 O60O0O
pounds of the weed will be grown in these
two provinces, about four-fifths of which
viii come from the two most soutberly
counties of Ontario, Essex and Kent. In
Essex County alone fully $500 acres are
this year under tobacco cultivation. This
impetus in the growth of tobacco has been
caused by the readjustment of the duties
OF the Laurier government, the duties
now standing: Canadian, cents; Amer
ican 80 cents. The total manufacture Of
tobacco, exclusive of cigars and cigar
cites, consumes about II. .0t1,0 GOO pounds of
raw leaf, and TO supply this demand about
12,0OG,oO0 pounds of American tobacco has
been imported annually. If the estimate
of 10,06O,G00 pounds for this years Cana
dian crop proves correct 1t will be seen
that there will not be much required from
across the line.
