4 YIN. CA. PAPER
Review NotesConvention
Welcome to Hawaii.
Mr.. Weldon Eade a Vice President
Rear-Admiral Philip as Pre-
siding Officer.

The y. NJ. c. y. Review is out and
icontains an account Of the Interna-
tional convention at Grand Rapids
Michigan. The following Is taken from
the account:
On calling the Convention TO order
at the evening session. President
Shuey announced that another delcga-
ton had arrived since the afternoon.
and suggested that Walter G. Weldon
of Honolulu be made one of the Vice
Presidents of the Convention. The
suggestion was received with acclaim.
After few appropriate words the
president turned the meeting over to
the presiding officer of the evening.
Rear Admiral John w. Philip. When
the gallant commander of the Texas
arose TO his feet he was overwhelmed
with the reception which he received.
AS a presiding officer the Admiral
proved himself a great success. In ac-
cepting the honor Admiral Philip said:
Il am always ready TO command "a
ship filled with sailors. but to- preside
over such a noted body as this - be-
yond my powers. My instructions to-
night are 10 do things and say little.
and as a loyal sailor / can but obey
orders. / shall therefore proceed TO &C
ton, leaving to others who are brave
enough to face such a crowd the priv
ilege of addressing you. My presence
gives better expression than any words
could do of my sympathy and interest
in this work. For my heart is full OF
sympathy for the movement, and will
be more than glad to aid it in any way
possible. The purpose of this worthy
effort is to bring to one and all
knowledge of the Great Master. Such
body of men as this inspires one to
a higher sense of duty and higher
modes of living. Ii may seem strange
that officers of the army and navy who
stand for war rather than peace
should be found acceptable for posi-
lions of trust and honor in such n
gathering as this. Perhaps il is be
cause the best method OF maintaining
peace is by keeping prepared for war.
Our country is the greatest and best
in all the world (applause) since the
old liberty bell rang in our God-giVen
principles of liberty and freedom Il
century ago. This association is en-
gagged in the noble purpose of bring
ing men To a better knowledge OF God
and OF His benign purposes.

Others Do II.

The DuIy Press Of Lake Charles
has the following to say Of their new
oyster and fish industry;
Few of our readers have any idea
Of the extent of the fish and oyster
business Of this city. While at the
wharf this morning the reporter
dropped in at Jolets oyster packing
house and found business proceeding
there at a rate little dreamed of by
many of our citizens.
The first floor Of the establishment
is devoted almost exclusively to the
fish and oyster business.
In the building and along the
wharf are hundreds of sacks Of the
lannon's CaIcasleu bivalve piled high
and covering an immense area OF
space ana force OF ten expert
openers are employed continually IN
getting them ready for the markets.
Besides these there ale nine men
employed regularly in oyster fishing
and SIX fishermen, two men on the
lngger and three in the market,
making a force of thirty men who
contribute daily to the support of
one hundred and fifty consumers.
Besides the regular trips of his
lugger Mr.. JOLIET receives from one
hundred and fifty TO two hundred
sacks Of oysters on each trip of the
mail boat, which arc operel and
shipped to points in California, In
dian Territory, Nebraska, Iowa,
Missouri, Arkansas shipment
going to Denver. Col, this morning.
The shells are sold to the city and
used or PAVING the streets.
Beside fish aud oysters this house
handles game, poultry, eggs, hides,
turs, etc.
These are the kind OF industries
that build towns.--thaY bring aud
distribute the other fellows money
among the home people.

THELETTER "E."

An exchange says "e" is the
most unfortunate letter in the
English alphabet, because it is
never in cash, never ont Of debt,
and never ont Of danger. The
aforesaid exchange forgcts that
the letter "c" is never in war, but
always in peace. 1t is the begin
ming Of existence, the commence
ment Of ease, and the end of
trouble. Without IT there would
be no bread, no meat, no meal, no
water, no gospel, no heaven. Yes,
aud the end Of life and beginning
Of eternity, and we can get along
without it in living, but not III

A SYRUP FACTORY.

We have long held the idea tha
| there was splendid opening il
/ this Immediate section for new
! business cnteIpriSe-that of put
ting up cane syrup in small pack
ages for table use. We are of til,
opinion that in proportion to tn,
necessary investment of capita
for such an industry, there wOulC
be far larger return than ther,
is from the Mammoth factories
necessary for granulating the cane
juice. We have been unable. how
ever, to get the facts and figures.
In this section there are many
small farmers who grow cane for
central factories. All the cane
necessary for syrup plant could
be secured without trouble and
without the additional expense of
field operations. Such a factory
would not be materially concerned
in the Sacharine test of the cane
offered them, as their success
would not depend upon granula-
ton. SO, while sugar factories
would be losing money and failing
in seasons like last year. the syrup
concern would be serenely declar-
ing its dividends.
The question naturally arises:
Would there be the demand for
the output of such a factory? In
reply we will cite the fact, that
last summer the writer tried to
purchase cane syrup of our local
grOcerS. We were offered in sew
eral instances, and finally accept
ed, q package of beautiful looking,
tasteless compound (0f glucosc)
put i'll Davenport, Iowa. Now,
is not this a sad commentary upon
the sagacity and business enter
prise of our people? We, in the
heart of the finest cane region of
southwest Louisiana, making the
most delicious and most whole |
some syrup in the world should |
have to supply our table at any
time with a substitute from a corn |
stalk state. Why are we not send
ing those people the Louisiana
syrup? The United States would |
be a market for a first class article
of Louisiana syrup and no people |
would be better customers than
home people who know the goods.
We might further state that our
family has been making the prac-
tice for the last several years of |
syrup in barrels to rela-
tives in northeastern Kentucky |
and West Virginia, and this year
we shipped a barrel to a relative
in Colorado. How much more ac
ceptable would this syrup be put
up in bottles snd eases. What we
have done is doubtless done by
many others.
We notice that such a factory
has just been organized at Houma,
La. Others are in existence on
the Mississippi river-yet we
never see their product in this see
ton.
Let some one take hold of this
matter and locate a factory here
before the opening is entirely filled
by other towns. Don't wait till
next season-study the question
now and act.-MI.
