1t is not beyond the range of prob
abilities that the experts in solving the
labor problem of Hawaii have been
casting too far in seeking a source of
future supply for the plantation labor
market. The circular sent out by Ital-
ian labor agents in New orleans indi-
Gates that 1t is not altogether neces-
sary for the planters to jump the con-
tinent and enlist it's laborers from Eu-
ropean fields direct. The Bulletin is
not in a position to speak for the reli-
ability of the Italian labor agencies of
the South or any other portion of the
United States. This, however, Is a
matter that can be very easily deter
mined. With the good record which
these laborers as a rule have made in
the Southern country, it seems reason
able to believe that Hawaii can draw a
good quota from that district without
fear of adding an undesirable class of
citizens to the labor element.

MIXING DRINKS.

Temperance advocates of England
looms that combines temperance drinks
and the cup that intoxicates in a some
what curious manner. A temperance
association under the direction of the
Bishop of Chester is establishing pub
lie houses where coffee and cocktails
are served according to order over the
bar The only direct influence for tenn
perance is exerted upon the bar ten
der.
The object of the association is to
make the saloons, refreshment houses
with alcoholic drinks side issue
and compelling strict order among the
patrons. The vital point of the scheme
is the enlistment of the saloon man
ager on the side of temperance. He
is charged the full retail price for alco-
holic drinks, while for non-alcoholic
beverages he is enabled to make a
profit of twenty per cent. The appeal
is thus made direct to the inevitable
human interest in the line of goods
from which the largest profits can be
made. Added to the opportunity to
make money by urging his temperance
goods on the public, the manager. is
paid good salary and is held respon-
sible for the proper behavior of his pa
irons. Good department Is demanded
and no liquor is to be sold to drunken
people. Excepting the sale of intoxi-
cants, the general scheme is similar to
that of the coffee houses established
in various parts Of the United States.
While the radical temperance advo-
Gates are disposed to look askance at
this recognition of the drink demon"
the scheme of the Bishop of Chester
has the appearance of having more
practical temperance in II than any
thing yet brought out.

don't seem to be quite SO proud of our

very neatly got at vital point in the
whole matter. The question Is not so
much, what is the amount Of money in
the treasury, as how much is still I'M
spent that the people are entitled to.
This, according to the Minister of
Finance Is only trihe over $500, 900,
which leaves pretty big sum to be
expended between now and next
March. This being the case 1t would
be well for the Executive to get their
coats on and start in doing full, day
work on those homestead trails,
bridges, Hilo streets and other things

cent traveller through the homesteads
on the northern part of this Island,
who returned after undergoing great
hardship in penetrating a well nigh
impenetrable country, reports that he
saw question marks as men walking.
Many people disbelieved him, but we
are inclined to think he told the truth,
especially as these interrogation marks
would frequently pause and point
mutely at the lines marked out by the
Government surveyor as alleged roads.
One of the Government organs in
Honolulu remarked relative to "Home-
steaders" complaint that no doubt the
people needed roads and no doubt there
was surplus, but II the expenditure
wasn't authorized by the Legislature
there was no use kicking, 1t couldn't be

no question on this point at all and as
usual the Advertiser got at the point

the homesteaders get to their land.
