must clearly understand what those
lines are to be. We do not know what
the franchise is to be. There is division
upon the point in the United states,
and there is division upon the point
here. We cannot tell who are going to
be voters and who are not. Until we
can tell it is useless to formulate a
policy.
Then again we are by no means GER
tain which office will be elective and
which will not be elective, and it is no
use beginning to pick out men for this
or that office until we know upon what
grounds they will hold their appoint
ments.
There is no great excitement as to
the vacancy in the senate, simply be-
cause no one knows whether the senate
will ever be called together. 1t might
be called, but a very large number
think that it never will, and others
again consider that the senate together
with the house of representatives has
ceased to exist.
If there is something tangible the po-
litical forces will come forward fast
enough, but if there is nothing tangible
and if all that the political prophets can
tell us is merely vague surmise the po-
litical forces are not going to rush
hither and thither on wild goose chase
supporting they know not what and
seeing no result for their effort They
much prefer to consider the practical
needs of the country and as far as
politics are concerned are content to
wait till something practical can be

The dedication of the new Roman
Catholic church in Kula, Maui, shows
how much that district has grown and
how much it has increased in it's Port
uguese population. Ten years ago a
very tiny chapel sufficed for the spirit
ual wants of the district. 1t also shows
the strength of the Roman Catholics
numerically both in the number present
at the dedication, and by the large clas-
ses who were confirmed both in Kula
and the other Maui churches. By the
last census the Protestants numbered
23,273, or 42.6S per cent of those report
ing their religion, apd the Roman Cath
Olics reported 26,363, or 1885 per cent,
and since then the increase has prob'Ib-
ly gone largely in favor of the latter.

PROSPERITY.

The past year has not only been sue
cessfully politically in the United
States, but commercially has proved
one of the most successful since 1892
Various things show this and probab-
ly none among them so we'll as the list
of business embaPrassments for the
year.
The total number of failures in the
United States for the year 1898 aggre-
gate II 63S, 11.2 per cent fewer than the
number reported in 1897, 20 per cent
less than those of 1896, 1915 per cent
less than those of 1895, SO per cent
fewer than in 1894 and 25 per cent less
than in 1898, the year of panic MEM
DRY.
AS regards liabilities involved, the
showing when compared with last year
is little less favorable than that made
by numbers alone. The total liabilities
of the failing traders for 1898 aggregate
$141, 137,117, 9.5 per cent smaller than
those of 1897, 43 per cent less than those
of 1896, nearly II per cent less than in
1895 and Ga per cent less than the i'm
mense liabilities of 1898.
The reports also of the coast cities
with regard to their trade are also very
satisfactory. Tacoma, Seattle and
Portland Oregon, all speak of consid-
cradle expansion in their communica-
ton to the great trade review.
Tacoma claims to have an increase
upon all lines of business, both mer-
chandise and manufacture. Grain and
coal have increased the wheat export
being so per cent in excess of the pre-
Vious year. The total exports showing
rs per cent increase. Seattle claims an
increase of A per cent on the volume
of business of the previous year, and
this in spite of the fact that the Klon-
dixie trade, which was expected to be
so profitable, suddenly dropped in
March. The same story comes from
Portland, though the latter city has not
made such great progress as the other
two. All three cities are looking care
fully into the trade with the Orient.
The prospects for the Pacific coast
are now very great. The opening out
of trade with the Malay Islands, the
Philippines and the far east presents an
almost unlimited vista, and the cream
of this trade, for the next five years,
goes to the coast cities. If the coast
cities do well, there is certainly an ad-
vantage going to accrue to the Islands,
for there will be more steamers going
direct to these ports, and we can in
crease the product of our perishable
goods, such as fruits and so forth, to
the great advantage of the small farm
er. A direct line from Hilo would be
of immense benefit to fruit growers on
the eastern side of Hawaii, because it
would enable them to utilize lands
which are at present lying idle. But
the crop must be assured, and the stea-
mers must be regular,
Everything points to an increased
prosperity in 1899.

but their poor health, their weakness.

the idea is this: Bad Digestion, Thin

There seems every likelihood of a
business depression in Germany, and
this will effect emigration to the Unit
ed States. The German American pa
pers are jubilant over the prospects
of increased immigration, because they
draw a large part of their subscribers
from the new Corners. 1t is said that
not a tenth part of the Germans that
entered the United States fourteen
years ago, enter them now.

SHE COST HIM NOTHING.
A West Africans Eulogy of the EN-
peror William.

The fame of the German emperor has
penetrated with diminution, to say the
least, to his African possessions. In
the German colony of CAMERON, in
West Africa the natives not long since
held festival in honor of the monarch
over the sea. The principal speech was
made by a negro namel Abel, and this
is the way he sounded the praises of
the white chief" THE German en-
peror is the mightiest and cleverest
man in the world. He sees treasures
in the inside of the earth and he has
brought them to light. He has iron
thread spun over the earth, and as
soon as he touches them his words ira E
vel in all directions. He has steam
ships which move about on dry land.
If a mountain stands in his way he
has hole bored through it: if a river
stops him he has a road built through
the air. Though he is richer than all
other men put together, he has only
one wife; and though she is the most
beautiful of all women, yet she cost
him nothing"
