PROPERTY IN HAWAII.
Sugar Planters Are on the Flood Tide
of Fortune and Are Get
ting Rich.

Senator Clark, of Wyoming, who has
been in the Hawaiian islands this sum-
mer, speaking of the conditions there,
says:
The sugar planters are on the flood
tide of fortune, for the profits on cane
are heavy, and everybody in the busi-
ness is getting rich. Coffee planting
has not been so profitable, but think
that eventually it will be made to pay.
The material development of Hawaii
has been greatly accelerated by annex
alton. Coming under our flag has been
of enormous benefit. 1t has given con-
fidence to the people and the guarantee
of stable government brightens the
whole future. Even the most ardent
royalists are forced to admit that
American supremacy in the islands is
the best thing that could have hap
pened.
What form of government do the
leading men of the country desire?
They wish congress to bestow upon Ha-
wall regular territorial system of
government, such as that of Arizona or
New Mexico. In my opinion that is
the most desirable policy to pursue
At present the government is very awk
ward and cumbersome. There is no
municipal or county government, and
people residing at distance from Hon
olulu are put to great Inconvenience,
for public records are kept at no other
place. Honolulu itself is making rapid
strides in the march of progress. It's
harbor is crowded with shipping and
its business men report unprecedented
activity in trade.

PACKING SARDINES
How an Interesting ana Important
New England Industry
IL Conducted.

The packing of small behring's. or, as
they are often called. American sar-
dines." is an important industry In
Maine. In that state there are so fac
tories, which give employment to
large number of hands during four or
five months of the year. The annual
output is estimated to be of an average
value of $3,OOO,0OO, and about half of
this amount finds it's way into the peck
cts of the factory employees in the form
of wages. The fish are caught in
seines scattered all along the coast for
distance of about a hundred miles.
After the fish are taken in sailboats
to the factories they are thrown into
strong brine, where they remain for
crates and conveyed to an immense
oven, where the crates are laid on re-
volving shelves. After 20 minutes cook
ing the fish are ready for packing.
There are two methods of packing, one
in oil, the other in mustard. The
ground mustard is mixed with vinegar;
for oil packing cotton seed oil is used.
About gill of oil is put into can, and
then the baked fish from the ovens are
carefully packed into it and the cover
snapped on. The pans then go to the
sealer, who sits in front Of a little fur
mace in which his soldering iron Is
plunged. Selling the can, he runs the
heated iron around the cover, holding
the solder just in front of it, and seals
the can so rapidly that the eye can
hardly follow his movements. The
sealed cans are thrown into a bath of
boiling water, in which they remain for
two hours. If any of them leak the
tops will bulge out, and these go back
to be resealed. After the cans are
cleaned with sawdust they are packed
into cases and put on the market as
genuine American sardines in pure olive
oil.

Ohio Democracy have chosen the beSt

and can always be depended on to YIELD
to the will of the majority, which among
Republicans and Democrats alike is rec
ogniZed as the fundamental principle of
free institutions. He is not only man
of great force and impressive personality,
but he is one of national importance and
prqnnant political attainments. Under MS
