The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1899-12-29

Rain was welcome in Honolulu last
night The superintendent of Water
Works was delighted. Those who had
been gasping in the South wind atmos-
phere were equally delighted There IS
no doubt that with a prevalence of
South wind Honolulu is a most depress-
ing place. Our trade winds are our
health harbingers. Even plague germs
cannot fight against them.

Don Celso Caesar Moreno is certainly
a wonderful old man. His activity is
boundless. AT the present time he has
a scheme for getting Bob Wilcox as
governor, he has another scheme for
endowing the said Bob with the crown
lands. He is writing reams of stuff alb
using every one in power on the Islands.
And finally he is out with cable bill.
People who were here in the early sew
enties will remember the willy Don. He
came with cable proposition then and
finished up by becoming Minister of
Foreign Affairs for couple of days or
so. He has been dreaming of Hawaii
ever since, but his dreams have never
materialized. The present lot does not
look very promising.

When men die frequently complica-
tons occur. OF course if the deceased
has no money nothing is said, but If
there is ever anything left to be fought
over, there is always an heir or an
heiress ready to crop up in some shape
or another, or there is bigamy case
with the bigamist left out and only the
victims left. Honolulu is likely to be
treated to one such story in the near
immediate future.

theater of active life. No Ole is
capable of fighting successfully the
great battles that must come with

ON Education for the
Young.

The cause of education is indeed
one that should command our
highest admiration and respect,
and that should solicit our co-ope-
ration and support. Upon nothing
does the welfare of our homes and
of our coudtry depend more than
upon a liberal Christian education.
We cannot rest for support upon
the superficial structures SO largely
depended upon in the fashionable
world of to-day. We cannot lay
the foundation for our achieve
ments in life upon puolic favor
supported and upheld By wealth,
for verify then we have bot build
ed upon the shifting san4e of the
sea-shore, that are washed hither
and thither at the will of the great
restless ocean. We must seek
something moro solid. We all
have talents, and have we not re-
ceived with them the great injunc-
ton: OCCUPY till l Gomez" Then
is the cause of education that
which develops and cultivates
these talents-truly great cause,
and how it ought to receive our
whole attention and enlist our
sympathyl Never was there nobler
work in which to engage-the
great work of moulding and edu-
eating immortal souls, not only for
this life but for that which is to
come. How stirring snd Inspiring
it is to read of the strenuous efforts
that are being put forth to carry ou
the work of education, and of the
untiring energy manifested by our
instructors and trainers Why
should we be interested in educa-
ton? 1t is because we are obliged
to I've educated in order to meet the
demands of the age and future con-
nection successfully. Look about
US, what is the need of the hour?
What do we need most at home
what in the great world around us?
1t is educated Christian ladies and
gentlemen. Realizing this great
TACT, we should call attention to
this great need in the school room,
and endeavor to impress upon the
minds of the pupils the need of an
education.

Cotton Seed Oil in Demand.

The cotton seed oil market is il
a state of wild confusion. So
unsettled are the conditions that
the two leading manufacturing
concerns in the trade have refused
to make any contracts whatever
for the future delivery Of oil.
Prime summer yellow in large
quantities was sold in the New
York market last week for 80 cents
per gallon, when the highest price
obtained last year at this time
was % 1-2 cents per gallon.
So strong is the situation that
the trade generally is looking for
Accent oil before the 1st of next
month. The causes leading to the
advance this year are two-fold, the
scarcity of seed at home and the
short production of olive oil in
Italy and the Mediterranean
section.
Seed is selling at twice the price
it sold last year. In Texas there
have been sales as high as $18 per
ton, delivered at the mills, while
the maximum price last year was
SO per ton, and some sold as low as
Sc.
The development of the cotton
seed oil industry has been marked
within the past five years. Where
only one-third of the seed crop ii
former times was utilized for max
ing qil, it has grown until now
twothirds of all the seed is convert.
ed into a merchantable product
instead of being spread upon sne
ground as a fertilizer.
Europe has also learned to
substitute cotton seed oil more
and mo e for olive oil. The use
of oil in cooking in Italy, France
and Spain and, in fact, throughout
the Continent has 80 increased
that the olive crop has beer
insufficient to supply the demand
even in bounteous year.
The demand for cotton seed OF
as substitute or for the purpose
of mixing with olive oil have grown
to enormous proportions. The ex
ports from the United States have
grown from 2,690,700 gallons il
1889 to 40,23O,7S4 gallons in 1898
There is practically no oil on the
market at the present time. anc
there is a large demand.-N. Y

Taking into consider ation the fact that soldiers have to be shipped across the continent t3 san Francisco and then by transports On the long journey across the Pacific, it is said that the saving in expense and time by the other route will be cOnsid erable, and it may mean that in the future a majority of the troops will b. sent from New York
