While much is said from time to
time of our trade relations with Great
Britain, Russia, Germany and other
European Powers, but little is said of
our trade relations with Switzerland;
and yet, according to the Atlanta Con-
stitution, we yearly import from this
little republic goods amounting in
value to several millions of dollars.
Last year our imports from switzer-
land aggregated $13, 1863, O4O. But
what does this little country produce
that, in spite of our abundant re-
sources, we find it necessary to spend
10 much money In that market? The
answer to this question is found in

And punctually to time Fred ap-
peared, his bride on his arm-lovely
as the morning, blushing like a rose,
her blue eyes shining like stars, her
sweet red mouth quivering as she
looked wistfully up into Mr. Temple
toms face when Fred presented her.
"We've quite stolen a march upon
you; but this is my wife, Uncle Theo-
philus-Mrs. Fred Warrington, fast
and sure"
"I'm astonished and dumbfounded,
and. delighted, my dear. However
did you do it, Fred:"
But before Fred could make the ex-
PLANTATION he deemed incumbent a SER

how-Theophilus Templeton simmered
quietly down, and accepted the situa-
tion with the best grace at his COM
mand until six months afterward,
when he triumphantly announced to
his nephew that the iuckiest day of
his life had been when he mistook
Rosie for Miss Lovett.

SEWERAGE SYSTEM.

The Board of Health has taken up
in earnest the question of sewage in
Honolulu and in set of resolutions
has urged upon the Minister of Int
rior the necessity of prompt action.
In this most people will heartily agree
with the Board of Health. There can
be no doubt that the city has out
grown the methods of getting rid of
its sewage and other waste, and we
are warned by the most competent of
our physicians that unless something
is done we may have a serious cpl
demic.
But while this is all true, how is
the Minister of Interior going to get
the money for the purpose. The Min
lister of Finance advertised for bids
for 100000 of bonds. He has obtain
ed $124,0O0. OF this money a consid-
cradle sum is already spent, for pub
lie works have been started which
will be paid out of this realization
from bonds The estimates for the
sewerage system of Honolulu are
$257 900. OF course not all of this
money will be used at once, but the
Minister ought to have that amount
in sight at least, before he begins the
work
However excellent the system pro-
posed may be, it cannot be put
through without money, and the Min
lister would not be justified in max
ing commencement that might lead
nowhere. Something ought to be
done, no doubt, but the something
must be the getting of the wherewith
to start the work, and that is more
the business of the Minister of FL
nance than of the Minister of the In
terror.
The Board of Health, however, is
quite right in stirring up the matter,
and perhaps some means may be found
by which the difficulty may be over
come. The Minister of Finance is re.
sourceful, and has assisted the gov
eminent through many a tangle which
seemed impossible of unravelling, ant
we may yet see in the immediate flu
ture this excellent sanitary project
carried out.

The value of the Consular Reports
to the merchants and manufacturers
of the United States is beginning to
be thoroughly appreciated. Walter
Wardrop, secretary of the National
Board of Trade of Cycle Manufacture
ers, has forwarded letter to the de-
partment conveying the thanks of
that body to the Consuls and Consular
Agents for transmitting so much valu-
able information. The United States
system now is to publish extracts
from the Consular Reports daily.
There is no waiting for yearly, quar-
terly or even monthly reports. The
advanced sheets, as they are called
come out as regularly as the New
York Herald, and are sent to all the
Boards of Trade, and a very large
number of the newspapers. In this
way information is very quickly dis
seminated among the very classes that
need it most. The system is far ahead
of any governmental bureau in the
world

and discuss them among themselves
During the Spanish war they knew
all about Cuba, Porto Rico, Cervera,
Sampson and Schley. One of them
was talking about the telegraph cable
the other day, and specializing upon
the chances of selling more papers.
They may be noisy, but they certainly
are interesting.

1t is satisfactory to learn that the
camps have been thoroughly cleaned
up and that the demon of disease is
not likely again to take hold of our
soldiers. The lesson has been a sharp
one and has cost many valuable lives,
but it has apparently been learned at
last. The troops will probably now en-
Joy the good health which they ought
to in our excellent climate.

THE NEWSBOYS.

The Stars dinner to the newsboys
has become one of the yearly institu-
tons of Honolulu and is looked for
ward to eagerly by the little fellows
1t is quite a sight to see them sitting
round the tables and putting away the
unwonted dainties. They are hard
working boys and early acquire
knowledge of the value of money.
Several who have started as newsboys
here have obtained better places, and
have begun climbing the ladder of
success.
The hustle acquired by selling news
papers is a valuable attribute. A boy
who can increase his custom must
think and act, and all this tells upon
his character and makes him the more
valuable as he grows older There are
worse training schools than the news
boys clan. a newsboy cannot be lie
and he has to be polite or people won't
buy papers of him.
The newsboy on Honolulu streets is
of very recent date. He was absolute
ly unknown in the eighties and dur
ing the last decade he has gradually
come forward, very timidly and gin
gerly at first but now he Is an insti-
tuition, and he has come to stay. 1t is
a significant fact, showing the ten
dency of the race, that the bulk of
the newsboys are Portuguese. This is
the industrious section of the popula-
ton, and industry is inculcated into
them by their parents as soon as
they can toddle. There are a few Ha-
waiians and part-Hawaiians who take
up the line, but the Portuguese pre-
dominate.
The effect of the public schools is to
be noticed in the newsboys. They all
talk English fiuently, and they all
read. If any one takes the trouble to
listen to the little lads talking among
themselves, it is matter of surprise
how much they know. They are quite
up in the great Questions of the day,

In one particular Honolulu has
been ahead of the world, viz; in the
matter of direct news from Manila.
We received the first details of the Ma
Mia fight, we had the first account
given out by any officer actually en-
gagged in the battle and the returning
correspondents have given us their
first words on American soil. Manila
has become very real to us of late and
does not seem so far away.

There is no question of waiting for
a loan to put River Park into some
kind of conditions; the money appro-

Admiral Montoio appears to have
been very badly treated by his coun-

Americans than ever they will be by
the SpaniardS.
