! for the best coffee is for mixing and
giving flavor to inferior grades, and to
stuff like wheat and peas, and chickory
used in adulteration. The coffee of the
masses" in America, today, is adul-
terated, though it is not injurious.
There must be no exaggeration
about our coffee, or the money in it,
There is vast increase in coffee pro-
duction, in many countries, and prices
tend downward. At the same time,
it is quite certain that its cultivation
can be made profitable. But the word
profitable has many meanings. There
will. undoubtedly, be reaction in the
enthusiasm for coffee growing, within
several years. The question of labor
supply will soon be pressing. The
scarcity of it has already been felt.

the necessity of it is not so pressing
The large cultivators may be in some
jeopardy. But means will be found for
utilizing the labor of children, at GER
tain seasons With the cultivation of
coffee will go the cultivation of small
fruits, and economic plants. Much ex-
perience has been already acquired in
this business, and in short time. he
who proposes to engage in it, will
not be at loss for intelligent instruc-
ton.

PRESIDENT M'KINLEY AND Gu
BAN SUFFERING.

Secretary of State, John
Sherman, has made under the
direction Of President McKin.
ley, a third appeal to the PEG.
pie of the United States, on be
half Of the Cubans. We pub
lish it in another column. The
President takes an unusual
course in this respect, in offici-
ally asking the people for aid.
Perhaps it would be crafty
ing to the President, if all per
sons here, laying aside politi-
cal differences for the time.
would unite in some substan-
tial testimonial to the Cubans.
Even a hint from the President
should be quite enough to put
our charity in motion. With
out any hint from us the Presi-
dent, while overwhelmed with
work, found the time to protect
the reciprocity treaty in the
tariff bill.
The suffering of the Cubans
is best illustrated by repeating
the statement made the other
day in this paper, that the loss
from disease, and want of IL
900 persons in one year in this
city, out of our population of
10000, would parallel the loss
in only one out of the many
towns of Cuba.
If the President of the Unit
ed States voluntarily appeals
for aid, it should not be be-
meath the dignity of our own
officials to follow his example.

wards these events is as yet
hardly noticed. The national
necessities will be imperative.
Foreign outlets must be secur-
ed. There must be access to
the 400 millions of Chinese. No
European powers can be allow
ed to stand in the way, or ham
per the expansion of American
commerce. Therefore the an
neXatiOn of Hawaii is a neces-
sity.
One asks why the shrewd
Americans have not realized
the situation before this time.
The truth is that the vast body
of intelligent merchants do not
realize it yet. The expansion
of trade has not been a pres
sing necessity, and men do not
go about looking up problems
that do not touch their pockets.
The average man does not care
to increase his load. He does
not take care of his health until
he begins to lost it. He does
not raise his umbrella until the
rain falls.
Many of the Americans be-
Gin to realize that in the strug-
gle for trade, Europe may,
without threats of war towards
America, close up the opening
for her possible trade. AS the
American looks westward, Ha-
waii lies across the line of Wis
ion.
Every merchant, whose |
goods are glut upon the home
market becomes interested,
when the prospect of a foreign
market is open to him. He rails
IS his eyes and looks, then he
ICES, then he acts. How rapidly
lie moves we do not know. We
hall hear about it shortly.

SEWAGE PURIFICATION BY SOIL

Filtration through the soil is regard

of Agriculture as hygienically and
economically the most perfect. The
work is done through the nitric exida-
ton of nitrous organisms effected. in

microbes contained in the soil. The
nitrates thus formed. combined with
the very soluble bases contained in the
earth, are taken up as foods BY plants

GETTING AT THE TRUTH.

Our evening contemporary,
the Independent, misunder-
stands our position regarding
the need in the past and in the
present, of a Commission au-
thorized by law to examine in
to the social and political CON
ditiOn of these Islands. Our
contemporary believes in the
appointment of such a Commits
sion, before which, it says, the
natives can give their ideas"
about things. The object of
such a Commission would be to
exclude "ideas," hearsay and
opinions, and obtain facts only.
Afidayits are of little value,
because those who make them
are not subject to close cross
examination. The testimony
of a man on the witness stand,
and his testimony in an aft
davit are usually quite differ
ent.
Mr.. Blount, for instance,
states in his report that the
missionaries caused the natives

SOME NEW FACTS.

The Journal of Commerce
On. W, in it's carefully thought
out article on the annexation of
these Islands, from which we
quoted the other day, gives its
readers some important facts
to think about, which have not
been before presented.
1t states that the relations of
the worlds commerce are chang
ing and must seriously affect
the United States. The popu-
latiOn of the States is increas-
ing Il millions each year. The
mining and manufacturing in
dustries are drifting towards a
vast expansion. Within 10
years past, more than 10 mil
lions OF new producers have
had to depend for their earn
ings upon resources outside of
planting and farming, and the
number is increasing. In 10
years there will be 100 millions
of people. There will be go
millions of them dependent on
non agricultural industries.

countries will drive many more

THE EMPEROR WILLIAM.
CFrom Thursdays Daily)

Today is the anniversary OF
the birth of Emperor William
of Germany. Events make him
in some respects, the most pro
minent man of the world. Ma
poleon III. in his day, appar-
emily controlled the destinies
of Europe. Fate handed this
power over to the young EN-
perOr.
While impulsive and dicta-
toriaI he stands for the integ-
rity of the Fatherland.
Nor can he be censured if
now in the interests of German
prosperity, he follows the eX-
ample Of the great States of
Europe, and secures foothold
in the Orient. 1t is the logic
of modern foreign commerce.
Ifin advancing German COM
merce in the East, he suddenly
awakens the Americans to a
sense of their own needs, let us,
even though we are a small
community, salute the German
flag, and its most respectable
and able representative here,

A COMMERCIAL BATTLE

Congress, in order to pay off the
British and Canadians for refus
ing to aid in preventing pelagic
seal hunting, has just passed a
law forbidding the Importation of
seal skins into the United States.
Experience teaches what the re-
suit will be. The women of the
United States will insist on hay
ing seal skins. The price will rise.
The smugglers will do a magni-
ficent business.
American citizens will have to
pay extravagant prices. The
smugglers will get rich. The seal
skins will filter through 5000
miles of border. If the Boring
Sea skins cannot be distinguished
from the Russian or the Japanese
skins, there will be an immense in
crease in the importation from
those countries. If the law stands
there is no reason why sealers
from Hawaii should not try the
business.
The situation is, that the Amer
lean woman will pay the ''fines"
for British Obstinacy.
The purpose of the law is to
force the British to terms. If the
smugglers carry the goods |
through in sufficient quantities,
the British will ask for no terms.
If smuggling is prevented, the
British merchants will demand |
that Canada come to an under
with the United States.
Its an ill wind" etc. There is a
rare chance for deserving" SNUG
glers to do a fine trade. In an
cient times there would have been
war over pelagic sealing. In mo-
dern times the nations play points
on each other, and don't pull out
the big bowie knives they keep in
their boot legs.

to be restricted in their kulia
mas orhomesteadsto very small
pieces of land. A personal eX
animation of the natives them
selves, would have disclosed
the fact that they were serfs,
and the lands they received
were the free gifts of the King
who treated them generously
enough. Direct and positive
testimony would show that he
did this, under the influence of
certain missionaries. In the
absence of direct testimony,
Mr.. Blount allowed his ears to
be stuffed with idle rumors
and fishy stories.
Before such a Commission,
the natives would tell the sad
story of their disposition of
their lands. A searching eX-
animation would bring out the
positive evidence of their own
rulers, Kamehamehas Ill, ",
v, as to the capacity of the ma
tives to rule themselves.
The small numbers of the
whites on these Islands, make
it especially important that
their relations with the natives
should be ascertained in such a
way as to put them beyond dis
pute. And, fortunately, the
more the native is made to tes-
tify to facts within his knowl-
edge, the clearer becomes the
justification of the acts of '93.
Many whites, who live here,
are Indifferent to the value of |
these facts, and truths, because
they are here for profit and eli
mate only. But there are peo-
pie, who were born here, and
we're unreservedly committed
o native Hawaiian rule. These
should see to it that the facts
which caused them to join in
he overthrow, are clearly as
.ertained, and admitted by the
natives.

,rywhere Of the Anglo-Saxon
ace to weaker races has been i

FAIR WARNING.

1t is pleasing to notice that Con-
sui l-General Haywood has not joined
the men or syndicates who are in
terested in bringing "white" labor
ers,to Hawaii.
We have often stated that there
is no room in Hawaii for white
laborers and we have been roundly
abused for our expressions.
The New York Nation in an article
on Hawaiian annexation, among
other things, says:
There is no reason, therefore, to
expect any material increase of
commerce with our new possessions.
We had it all before, substantially,
and there is no reason to expect it
to be enlarged to an extent at all
commensurate with the expense
which annexation will occasion us.
In fact, according to the report of
the Bureau of Statistics, the market
for labor OF all kinds is overstocked
in Hawaii, and our Consul General
advises all Americans, except capi-
talists, to keep away from the ISL
ands. Laborers who may go there
seeking employment at high wages
will be disappointed"

TUESDAY, AUG. 2, 1898.

We can we'll understand the pleas
ure the soldiers feel in taking a
bath in the refreshing water at Wal
kiki, but at the same time due pro-
priety and decency should be OBJ
served. Several complaints have
reached this Office from residents of
Waikiki, in which they take serious
exceptions to the soldiers bathing
in nude condition from the open
beach of the most populated part
OF the suburb. There is no false
modesty or exaggerated prudery in
the complaints. Our attention is
simply called to the fact, that it is
contrary to existing laws and to
common deceney. One complainant
says that nude excursion" into
the brimy deep of large number
of men took place yesterday from a
prominent private residence to the
great annoyance Of the neighbors
and their visitors. The kind hosts
of the "boys" should furnish them
with bathing suits or improvise
some out of towels, etc. A few days
ago young kanaka in the virtuous
town OF Lahaina was arrest ed on a
charge of indecent exposure by
bathing along the highroad with
only bathing trunks on. The magis-
trate had sense enough to acquit
him. Our grandmothers would have
been terribly shocked if they could
have seen the present generation
in it's fashionable bathing suits.
But in the name of the spirits Of
our grandmas don't let us discard
what little there is left of the fin de
steele bathing suits.
