ter OF fact that the valuable mineral
constituents Of the soil are leached out
and entirely removed by excessive irri-
cation. This subject is now SO forcibly
pressed upon the Department of Agri-
culture that it is taking steps to in
vestigate what the effect of excessive
irrigation Is.
1t has selected DR.. Maxwell to make
this investigation. This selection is
fortunate because the investigations
will be made here, and on our own
soil. The plantations win have the i'm
mediate benefit Of them.
The conclusions reached at the pres
ent time at the Experimental station.
as presented in The report upon the
experiments is startling. II the guam
|tity of water for irrigation RAY be
reduced seventy-five per cent. as the
experiments tend to show, and on the
other hand an excessive use of water
teaches of the valuable mineral ele-
ments of the soil, 1t is evident enough
that we are in no position to boast II
our knowledge about cane cultivation.
We may be far in advance of sugar
planters elsewhere. but II our planta-
tions are not conducted SO as to make
them permanently profitable, we are
making no real progress.
The temper of our planters is. how
ever, to avail themselves Of all the
knowledge on the subject which scien-
tiflc study can give, and they may, and
ought to keep themselves in advance
Of the worlds best knowledge on the
subject.

THE COMING AUTOMOBILE.

Automobile carriages. though COM
mon enough in New York and other
Atlantic coast cities are slow Of intro
duc.ion In the West. There are few
of these self-propelling vehicles in
California. Oregon and Washington
and at least one in Honolulu, though
in no place West OF the Rocky noun
tans do they figure much commercial
ly. Some months ago company was
formed to operate automobile cabs and
trucks In San Francisco and Los An
geles and great promises were made.
1t was said that. by the present time,
trucks carrying ton weight each
would be giving an up-and-down-hill
service in San Francisco at the uniform
speed of ten miles an hour and that
cabs would be playing the mischief
with the receipts of the cable and
trolley cars. But the hopes thus raised
have not been realized. Various eX-
cuses are given, notably the excessive
demand in the East and the great ex-
pense Of the machine. No doubt auto
mobiles are too costly though the
original prices have been reduced.
When the machines grow cheaper
the West and these Islands will see a
great many of them.
Cheapness and improved models are
hnnpI IN cnvS,a vrhn nor 40
cost $50. yet better wheel can
now be had for $40. When breech-
loading shot guns were invented the
kind that now sells for $50 cost $500.
The price of sewing machines and par
lor organs, not to mention many other
utilities. has been similarly affected by
progressive invention and a wider de-
mand. So it Is fair to infer that,
sooner or later, the automobile will be
well within reach Of any man who can
now afford Il horse and carriage and
that it will in some degree retard in
vestment in other means of municipal
public transit. A generation hence
the self-propelling vehicle may mono
police the carrying trade Of the
streets.
Honolulu, Hilo and Hawaii generally,
though by no means averse to cleo
trio railroads and the like. will be
among the first of all Western COM
munities to welcome the perfected and
cheapened automobile and to make a
generous use Of 1t. Owing to extensive
dooryards Honolulu Is city Of mag
nificent distances, fact which &C.
counts, along with the disreputable
n.ule-car system, for our numerous and
busy hacks. These distances will never
be lessened. On the contrary, as the
city grows into a mid-ocean Hong
kong. they will be doubled and trebled
and by that token rapid transit to and
from every street corner will have 10
come. That will be the chance OF the
automobile to meet a crying public
want and we cannot doubt that It will
not only meet It then put anticipate
It for many years. We are sure to
have private automobiles enough wher
the demand Of the trans Mississippi re-
gion begins to be supplied and In tim'
may manufacture them. And after thu
private motor carriage the public one
must quickly follow.

mcnts absorb the American? VIII
there finally rise here a composite pso-
pie Of l.atins. Aslatics. and Teutons.
Intelligent, active. educated under our
admirable school system. and equipped
with knowledge and training TO finally
possess all OF our commerce and in
dustries?
The political institutions Will as
suredly be fixed and maintained by the
Federal Government. They will not
change, though the majority Of the
people will not understand them. and
a century may pass before the Ameri-
canization is completed.
There are two distinct views of the
evolution of Hawaii. One is that under
the pressure of Federal laws the labor
system will gradually change. and
American and European laborers will
supplant the Asiatics. This view is
enforced by the fact that the Asiatics
are not disposed to bring their families
to thes Islands, and their residence Is
largely temporary. With their with
drawal, the European under superior
inducements will immigrate.
The other view Is that the Asiatics
will remain. and increase. through i'm
migration. and the birth of children.
This view favors the belief that Ha-
wall win become finally the Asiatic
outpost OF the United States. just as
Hongkong Is the Asiatic outpost of the
British, and that finally here. as in
Hongkong. there will reside an intel
ligent, well educated and wealthy class
of Asiatics, who will gradually absorb
all OF the industries, including that of
sugar production, just as the Chinese
have taken from the British merchants,
the tea and silk trade of Hongkong
and Singapore, and ave absorbed the
mining Of tin in the Banca straits, and
are now competing with the British in
Shanghai. In the manufacturing of cot
ton goods. This view also holds that
the practical exclusion of the small in.
dustries here, owing to the dominance
of the sugar industry, discourages
European immigration, just as the
cotton mills OF New England have dis
couraged the growth OF an American
population, by importing the French
Canadians who have lowered and fixed
the price of wages.
Whichever view is correct Is OF little
consequence to the nation. A hundred
| thousand Asiatics in these Islands will
not affect the nations destiny. If
every American now residing on these
Islands disappeared today, the soil
would remain American. and whoever
resided here would come within the
sphere OF American influence ana ol
American laws.
Moreover. the policy of Expansion is
in direct opposition to the policy Of
Asiatic exclusion. America canno
expand and exclude at the same mo-
ment. II she takes she must give. a.
Great Britain gives and takes. Expan
sion, In Its last analysis, means uni
versal and unobstructed free trade ant
the right OF free emigration and immi
grafton. America in searching an out
let for her products will. in the cours,
of time, swing into line with Great
Britain, and find her advantage in tn,
promotion OF reciprocal commerce
Hawaii as the outpost in the Pacific
will quickly feel these movement!

NO EXTORTION.

Mr.. G. II. Radcliffe, of Yorkville,
who is travelling representative of F.
W. Wagner & Co., of Charleston, in.
sists that there will be no extortion
during the reunion. He said to the
reporter on Monday:
"Of course, the boarding house man.
ayers are likely to be crowded for
room, and they will have to double up
great deal but they are not going
up in prices. Where man desires to
take his wife and have the use of an
entire room, he will have to pay for it
at pretty good rate as he should ex-
pect to. But there will be accommo-
dations for ladies also, and they will
be provided for at reasonable rates,
no higher than are at all times preva-
lent. As a guarantee against extor-
ton, or rather for the satisfaction Of
the old veterans, I have circular let
ter from my house, agreeing to see to
it that every veteran is accommodated
at reasonable rates. Just let the vete-
rams 90 to F. w. Wagner & Co. and
they will see to it that accommodations
are secured.

Carolina will be followed by practical
beneficial results. The secretary has
on number of occasions expressed
himself in such a way as to leave the
impression that be is man of more

is reason to believe that he is especial
ly interested in the possibilities of agri-

RIOTERS ACQUITTED.
End of the Mccormick Conspiracy Case
I at Greenville.

End of the Mccormick Conspiracy Case
! at Greenville.
The trial of the famous Mccormick
conspiracy case growing out of the
Phoenix election riot and lynching in
Greenwood county last November,
ended in the Federal court at Green
vile last Friday with verdict of not
guilty. The jury, composed entirely
of white men, and half of them Green
vile county men, was out less than Is
minutes, and the verdict was an
nounced at 1880 p. m.
Tht case went to the jury without
argument, and the verdict il generally
endorsed. The evidence for the gov
eminent began to 60 in at 4 O'Clock
Thursday afternoon, and from the
time James w. Talbert, the prosecutor
and Republican assistant postmaster
at Mccormick, left the stand, it was
predicted that the jury would be but
few minutes in arriving at verdict
of acquittal.
When the government rested Friday
morning A. H. Dean, senior counsel
for the defense, asked Judge Brawley
to instruct the jury to bring in a
verdict of acquittal; but his honor
declined, saying he thought there was
some evidence that ought to be passed
upon by the jury.
Tolbert made a bad witness, fire.
quently displaying temper. He was
contentious, contradicted himself and
lacked candor. The defendants are
prominent Greenwood county men,
who at the time of the Phoenix riot,
served resolutions upon him advising
him to leave and telling him they
would not be responsible for his life,
though they would protect him for Sc
hours. Six hours after he left mob
rode into Mccormick to kill him.

- Manila dispatches of Saturday and
Sunday tell of peace negotiations be-
tween the Filipinos and the Ameri-
cans. The Filipinos are protesting
their desire to give up the fight and
quit but still there is suspicion that
they are only playing for time. AS to
whether or not they are sincere seems
to be a matter of more or less doubt,
with the presumption in favor of a
complete surrender. If there is any
surrender at all on the part of the
Filipino leaders, the understanding is
that it must be unconditional, and
without unnecessary delay.
