COTTON GROWING.

The Southern Ruralist OF South
Carolina says that the bulk Of the cot
ton crop II produced by croppers ana
renters who cannot control the crop,
because they obtain advances OF money

and the title to the cotton passes To
the merchant.
The RuralIst makes this calculation
OF cost OF feeding these American
farmers and voters.

of meat, one-half gallon Of syrup, with

Writes OF the Cruel Cvsroheck-

Allan Herbert writes in the interest
of the Bureau OF Agriculture and
Mans Best Friend" the horse, and
says:
Noticing OF late a number OF double
teams on our streets | would ask you
to kindly draw the attention Of owners
of Honolulu private carriage horses 30
the cruelty which they infiict by using
unnecessarily tight bearing reins.
Il am sure II they would only realize
how they disfgure and vulgarize their
otherwise smart equipages and horses
by tight bearing reins they would pc
more careful that they are properly adj
justed.
Il have noticed with pain how the
poor dumb victims have stood checked
up for hours, late into the night, at
concerts, theaters and late dinners,
while the China, japanese or Portu-
guese coachdnan Is slumbering comfort
ably in his masters soft wraps. How
obedient the horse Is to surrounding
circumstances, as no other animal
seems capable OF being. What other
animal could so well perform his part?
AT the band concert the horse is as
airy as his rider. In the private car
riage in the park or on the Waikiki
road he Is as proud and disdainful as
the petted beauty who sits behind him.
At the funeral he Is as melancholy as
Brother Williams himself
But, alas, the scene changes, his
airy, proud friend disappears from
our thOroughfare, and you find him at
some Chinaman's hog ranch or at
some stable.

holders of the Honolulu Tramway
Company, who are, no doubt, good
Christian people, when they receive
their dividends from here know how
the nickels are earned by the COM
pany buses on the Palama and Moana-
lua road. In the name of all that Is
good what can be done to stop this
cruelty to animals? They are driven
and beaten over this road night and
day, and one can hear the old rickety

ADVANCED VIEWS.

Within one year there have been
uttered two opinions from the pulpit
OF the Central Union Church that Il
uttered twenty or even ten years ago,
would have made CONSERVATION in the
congregation. Rev. Mr.. Kincaid on
Sunday declared that # he was TO go
TO Japan or China as a missionary,
be would not attempt TO destroy the
ancient religions Of these countries, but
would supplement them with the bet
ter religion Of Christianity. He would,
he said, follow the teachings Of Christ
who said: Il come not to destroy,
but to fulfill"
Last year, from the same pulpit, the
Hawaiian born missionary to Japan,
The Rev. Sidney Gulick declared the
same beliefs.
There Is nothing that displays the
Ignorance Of man so sharply as his
refusal to see and realize that the
teachers Of all the great religions held
commissions, under Divine permission
10 improve mankind; that the limited
success, and failure Of Protestant mis-
siOn5 for the last hundred years are
due 10 the narrow and rigid belief
that the Almighty has conferred on
Chris ian5 alone, or upon several
denominations Of Christians alone, the
power 20 save mankind; that all other
religions and creeds are decisions and
snares and must be swept away in spib
Of the lofty moral doctrines which they
carry.
These liberal opinions from the pull
pit indicate that at last the pro5elyt
ling churches will become humble, anC
cease to claim that TO them Is given {
strict monopoly Of the means of "sav
ing mankind, and that the heather
must continue to perish" while the
Christian nations spend more money II
one day upon their fighting establish
ments than they spend in five years, II
giving them meagre supplies from thi'
monopoly.

FOR ONE ISLAND.

WASHINGTON, April l9.-Taking
the form now operative in the District
of Columbia as a basis, President Nc
Kinley purposes building a system of
government in Porto Rico that will
give the residents of the island the full
lest measure of self-control compat-
ible with personal and property secur-
ity. 1t Is said that the President, as
trict form OF government applied to all
our new possessions, modified in each
case TO suit local requirements. The
District OF Columbia Is governed by a
Board of Commissioners appointed by
the President and subject to confirma-
ton by the Senate. This Board, al
ways under laws enacted by Congress,
has entire control of the affairs of the
district, appoints the heads Of the var
ious departments, who, in turn, select
their assistants and other subordinates
down TO the men who clean the streets.
II Is now believed that the President
will favor granting to residents Of Por-
to Rico at least limited suffrage, so far
as local aifalrs are concerned, aithOugn
that plan, when tried in the District OF
Columbia, was not wholly satisfactory.
Following the same general lines,
one OF the Commissioners for Porto
Rico doubtless would be an officer OF
the Army Engineer Corps, one prob
ably representative Of the educated and
property-owning class of the island,
and II there are three members Of the
Commission the third probably will be
an American. In municipal and other
local affairs II Is thought that the Pres
ident would recommend the exercise OF
the voting privilege by residents, with
educational and possibly property quail
ifcations, as was proposed in the code
OF laws formulated for Hawaii. In a
general way, these are the impress
sions conveyed by the President to the
Porto Rican Commissioners who called
at the White House today.

UNIVERSITY EXTENSION.

The members OF the University CUB
agreed after some debate to favor the
work of University Extension here.
The only question raised was one re-
garding the best methods Of making
it successful here, under our peculiar
conditions, but the prevailin opinion
is that the plan Of extension should be
fairly tried.
The theory OF the Extension move
ment Is TO reach the ignorant and the
poor who may desire to obtain some
education. The theory assumes that
the extremes of ignorance and intel
ligence in community should be
avoided, and the average character Of
all persons should be raised. The chain
OF democracy which holds society to-
gether is no stronger than its weakest
link. The Extension movement goes
about looking up the weakest links.
The singular condition OF Hawaii Is
that there is an allen population here
OF over 10000 and a considerable num-
Der Of them are permanent residents
who will, sooner or later, have some
political rlghtH and certainly large
properly rights, The young Portuguese

THE MEXICAN REPUBLIC.

President Dlaz OF Mexico, in his re-
cent annual message presents the facts
which show the great material pro-
gress Of Mexico during the last few
years. The President says: These
satisfactory results are due principally,
as you well know. TO the viyifying in
fiuence of peace, whose continuance
may fortunately be regarded as firmly
assured, thanks to the good sense OF
the Mexican people, who, having in
times past won their most cherished
libert as with heroic valOr, now devote
themselves in peace to formulating
with their toll the great resources with
which the national territory abounds.
In their efforts to attain the felicity
to which they are entitled, they will
assuredly lack neither the efiicaclous
assistance Of patriotic and wise Lcgis-
lature, nor the redoubled efforts which
the executive purposes to make In the
fuhllment of its constitutional du-
ties"
He does not discuss the power Of
the really wise and benevolent dcs-
pOtlsm which does these things. He
has, in fact, discarded all autiquated
notions about the will of the people
and has wisely substituted his own will
in place OF II.
While liberal political philosophers
will admit that he Is not governing
according to the theory OF democracy,
he Is successfully meeting the social
conditions Of Mexico. and gives the
people the fact rather than the theory
Of good government.
Prof. Agassiz, while here. mentioned
one evening his own acquaintance with
President Dlaz and approved his poll
ley. When the Professor was dining
with the governor Of distant province
OF Mexico he asked for Information
about security TO life and property,
The governor replied that in the ad-
joining province there had been no law
and order, and repeated requests were
made OF the President for Il good gov
ornOr.

had been a notorious bandit, but had
