Court of Visitation Has at Last Made
a Record.

Owing to the reunion and the plans
for the reception for the Twentieth
Kansas and other meetings which have
taken place in Topeka this week will
go down in history as a notable one, be-
cause two new cases have been brought
before the court of visitation. A case
before this court is such a novelty that
it is at once conspicuous and important.
Citizens of Hardy, Bourbon county,
want the court to compel the Missouri
Pacific to maintain a station at that
place.
Citizens in the vicinity of North
Cedar, Jefferson county, want the Kan
sas City. Wyandotte & Northwestern
to maintain a station at that point.

Father in Politics,

The last numbers OF the San Fran
cisco papers indicate that Maj. E. A.
of the city, is again prominent in coast
politics. Maj. Sherman gives testimony
against Dan Burns, who is pictured by
the other aspirants for the place as the
Southern Pacific's man for the United
States Senate. Maj. Sherman, it ap-
pears knows of some of Burns dealings
with partners in Mexican mines and
does not hesitate to declare that Burns
is a pretty tough sort Of a chap when
it comes to money matters and the op-
portunity TO get the best Of bargains
by fair means or foul. The Chronicle
gives a picture of Maj. Sherman.

CULTURE OF SILK
Raising Cocoons Here
Could be a Success.
Plan Of a School Teacher of Hawaii
Presents a Scheme He
Thinks Practical.
Onomea. December -. 1898.

Onomea, December Is, 1898
| Hilo Tribune, Mr.. Editor:-Allow me
to ask you space in your valua bic pa
suggestion, hoping that thus it may
reach interested parties.
There are hundreds, probably thou
sands OF families in this country who
would be most willing to add a few
dollars to their annual income by Civ
ing light and easy employment to the
more aged, to the young and to the
weak, who cannot do any hard work
This is especially true of the people
of our country, which is so we'll adapt
ed to silk culture. Children of large
families, by raising a few pounds of
cocOons, may earn something; and that
something represents an increase Of in
come. The raising Of these few pounds
of cocOOns each year need not mater
tally interfere with household and 9TH
er duties and it is by this means that.
silk culture must in the end be car
ried on in this country
Now that the Board Of Education is
Introducing Industrial training in
our schools, and with great success,
as any one can witness by visiting the
Union School in Hilo, and others in
different parts of the group, I am pos
tive that no more interesting subject
could be taken than the raising of the
silk-worms for the silk culture.
II school children will take liking
to this light and pleasant work, there
is no doubt of their succeeding with it
after their school years are over. The
boys could make the trays necessary
for the worms while feeding, and that
part alone is quite an interesting work
for them. OF course, you cannot und-
ertake the raising of the silk worms
until you have food enough for them;
but / don't see why every school lot
should not have few of the best kind
grow rapidly, and until these could be
used there are many trees around Hilo
from which leaves could be gathered
to start the experiment.
The Board of Education could prob
ably get the eggs (called by raisers
1.-The seed'O as we'll as the mulberry
seeds, either through the Bureau of
or our Representative in
countries where they are available.
l do not care to take any more of
your valuable space in this issue, but
am willing to answer any inquiries on
the subject, either through the columns
of your paper or by letter, provided
that in this last case, a two cent stamp
be added for the answer.
l will finish by adding that 1 have
done the above work in Honolulu four
teen years ago, and was very success
full, although l had to work under great
difficulty, the main one being the scar
city of food for the worms. My object
then being solely to prove to the late
DR.. Trousseau that this country was
very we'll adapted TO the raising of the
silk worm and | did convince him Of it.
Very respectfully,
LEON MALTERRE.

A Poor Scene.

Citizen J. w. Luning of Kaahumanu
street was exhibiting on that busy
thoroughfare yesterday a recent issue
of a San Francisco illustrated paper
with a half-tone picture of a scene
utilizing convict labor TO repair
streets in Honolulu"
Citizen Luning was irate, for the
illustration depicted about the dirtiest,
meanest of all the streets in this fair
city.
the scene was calculated to drive
tourists away and exhibited one OF the
sores which Citizen Luning would fain
keep from the globe trotter.
