FORESTRY.

The forests of the country are like
next two years then they have ever
had before. In a sort of prefunctory
way there has been something done
for the forests here and there. Pri-
vate land holders have made an effort
to reforest their tracts, as at Lihue,
on Kauai, and a determined effort to
Kukuihaele, on Hawaii, and in other
places good work has been done. The
government reforested the heights be-
hind Makiki, but the expense was
large. An effort is now being made
to reforest the upper part of Nuuanu
Valley, and Representative Pogue
says the effort at present is not be-
ing crowned with success. But all
these efforts are and have been to a
certain extent spasmodic.
TO meet the eNigencies of the case,
we want to work upon a general plan,
and we can only reach such plan by
obtaining the best trained scientific
talent. We have already experienced
what science applied to our industries
can do. The work of Professor Max
well has been of enormous value to
the cane cultivator, yet there were
many who, when the professor first
came, said what can he teach us?
We are practical men and know all
about it from experience" but he has
taught much and every dollar expen-
ded upon the experiment station and
the staff is bringing in two, twenty,
and mayhap a hundred fold. Again
the work of Prof. Rochelle has been
of inestimable benefit to the country
and everyone recognizes it now.
There are scientifically trained for
esters and the Legislature has pro-
vided for obtaining this kind of tai
ent. There is to be forester in chief,
whose appointment will be similar to
all those who occupy government po-
sitions, but the Legislature has fur
Their provided means for obtaining the
services of a highly trained expert who
will, for a limited time, go over the
Islands and study the best means of
reforestering them. He will be ac-
companied by the forester in chief,
who will on the departure of the eX-
pert carry out properly his sugges-
tions. BY this means the improve
ment of the forests on the Islands will
be carried on in a proper manner to
ultimate success. OF all the appro-
priations this is one of the best, prob
ably, that has been made.

1T COMES.

The fact that there was a good ma
jority in the United States House of
Representatives for annexation was
well known; there has been major
ity all along. but strong minority
has been able to block all efforts.
That the majority should be as large
as it was is more than anyone hoped
for. There is no uncertain sound
about POO in favor and 81 against; it
is an Overwhelming expression of
opinion from the popular house. This
is triumph for Mckinley and the
administration and we are now on
the very crest of the wave, with sue
cessful men guiding us to that which
we have ardently desired.
That the minority in the Senate will
be able to block the will of the ma
jority is now almost impossible. The
debate was to have been commenced
last Friday, June 18th, and the major
ity has agreed to stay till the ques-
ton is disposed of. The annexation

determined work. is now at hand. The
clouds are rolling away from Ha-
waits political horizon and we who
have, as it were, been living between
sky and earth, will now find our feet
firmly planted on the Constitution of
the United States, free citizens of the
greatest Republic that the world has
ever seen, and whose power the
world is now realizing. Instead of a
petty state we now enter upon the
birthright of one of the mightiest of
States, at no cost to ourselves we ac-
quire that which is of inestimable
benefit to us. \ waif upon the wa

LICENSES.

The bill authorizing the sale of light
wines and beer in the various districts
of the Islands meets with favor, the
only discussion upon it being as to
how the licenses should be issued
and how they should be controlled.
Member after member from the
country districts spoke of the Illicit
sale of liquor in all parts of the Is
lands. There is probably not a Chi
nese store in any part of the Islands
that does not do trade in beer and
rooster brandy, with sand paper gin
on the side. 1t was one of Gladstone's
pet theories to mitigate the evils of
intemperance by getting the people
TO drink the light wines of France,
and for this purpose he abolished the
duty on French wines, or brought it
down to a minimum.
In the same way the advocates of
the light wine and beer bill here re-
gard the measure as step in the di-
rection of temperance. There can be
no doubt as to the evil effects of the
cheap spirits retailed in the Chinese
stores, they are manufactured out of
the very worst kind of alcohol, chief
ly out of potato spirit, doctored and
Favored for such a market. The pro-
fit upon it, both for importer and re-
taller, is enormous, and it is easy up
ON such gains to pay the fines when
the seller is occasionally caught.
1t is to be hoped then that the light
wine and beer bill will be given a tri-
al, and that it will do good. That it
will entirely stop Illicit liquor selling
is by no means likely, but it will do
a good deal towards it. The high Ii
censes in Hilo, in Lahaina, in Wailu-
ku, have not put an end to illicit Ii
quor selling, but they have reduced
the number of low groggeries. 1t was
stated yesterday, as a fact, that more
cases of liquor went by train to Paia,
Maui, where there is no license, than
go to Wailuku, where there is a Ii
censed place for the sale of liquor.
And the probability is that an in
crease in the licenses on the lines
proposed may have good effect.

In times of war or times of
peace, the people keep right
on getting married. We are
reminded that at this time
there are a great many we'd
dings in Honolulu. OF course
they have to have wedding
presents, and all will admit
there is nothing more appro-
pirate than silver ware. 1t not
only looks nice but is useful.

solid and plated Sterling silver
and know we can save you
money by buying from us.
Among the solid Sterling
goods we might mention sets

The Spaniards are only following
out what has been charged against
them by the Cuban patriots. In mu-

rines, they have disgraced the name
of civilized warfare, and put them
selves on level with the Chinese and
Afghans. No amount of politeness

Spanish character.
