HlLO'S ASPIRATIONS.

According to the Herald Hilo Is
strongly in favor of city and county
government so that Ii may have the
benefits, in the form of money for pub
lie works, of the larger part of the
taxes which are raised within it's limits:
The sum for which North and South
Hilo were taxed last year aggregates
sl21, 9S0.53 or about what would be need
ed to give the Rainy City good sewer
system. Perhaps the Legislature when
1t meets, will consent to appropriate
sum as large as that for this specific
purpose or for any other that Hilo may
prefer. If so the result will be better
for the city than municipal appropria-
tion because of the extra cost to the
taxpayer of the municipal status. To
make the point clear let any Hiloite
figure up what municipal and county
government would cost and deduct it,
along with the sum that must go to the
support Of the Territory, from the ag-
gregate Of taxes. The county officials,
Supervisors, Sheriff, Treasurer, Survey
or, District Attorney, Tax Collector
and all their clerks and deputies must
be paid; also the Mayor, Councilman,
Street superintendent, Health Board,
Police, City Attorney and so on down
the list Of municipal officers. There
will be large printing bills; and If coun-
ty and city public buildings have to be
constructed, and farm for indigents
maintained, the fixed expenses will be-
come SO great that Hilo Will find itself
possessed of very small surplus for
the improvements and utilities 1T now
demands.
AS things are, or as they will be when
, the Legislature meets, Hilo may cap
! ture reasonable appropriations without
greater increase of taxes than adj
ditional values warrant. Before the
Legislature she can have fair show

support of the machinery and personnel

WHITE LABOR IN HAWAII.

The Governor has done the right
thing in designating the first Monday

workingmen and 1t deserves the official
recognition 1t is about to receive. Such
men are going to be the bone and sinew
of the new Hawaii which, it is hoped,
may be built up in the near future by
the operation Of American laws. There
has been great danger that all the
trades would pass into Asiatic HANDS
and there Is some danger now which
can only be averted by giving white
mechanics and artisans every chance
to get control of the labor market. 1t
Is useless to think of trrn progress here
without such a bestowal. The old Ha-
wall, with it's wealthy planters on vast
estates titled by coolie labor and served
in respect to the trades by the same
class, was the means of making our
white population smaller than any 9TH
er in the body polite. We were like
the South before the war in our grada-
tions of planters, serfs and subsidiary
whites. In the course of twenty years
thousands of white people came here
1 but had to leave because there was no
chance for them. Annexation has be-

OF CURRENT INTEREST.
WHY the Colonel Lost His Job.

Colonel Cirujeda, the military in
structor of the boy king of Spain, has
lost his post and has been transferred
to small garrison in Andalusia, on
account of his brusqueness. Not long
ago Alfonso XIII, accompanied by his
friends, sons of mobiles, went to the
royal country house situated on the
borders of the Manzanares. The King
left during the drill hour. and Cirujeda,
burning with anger, sought his pupil
everywhere. He met the Queen and
asked her where the little King was.
Her majesty replied that he had gone
to the country to play. Then Cirujeda,
unable to repress his indignation, ex-
claimed: II think they want to make
a shepherd of the King instead of a
| soldier!" On the following day he re-
ceived a communication from the Min
/ lister of War ordering him to change
| his residence.

THE FUTURE OF CANE SUGAR.

The Louisiana Planter is pessimistic
as to the future of the cane-growing
industry owing to the way in which
the sugar beet is coming into favor
with American farmers" 1t prints
summary of crop prospects which reads
as if written by agents of the sugar
trust-as was doubtless the case-and
booms a number of new sugar refiner-
les, the stock of which is already on
the market or probably will be soon.
One of these factories is at Bingham
ton. New York, and the Planter lets it's
readers infer that the presence of this
concern is helping to stimulate that
activity of beet-growing which is so
full of portent to cane-producers.
We have some personal knowledge
of the Binghamton experiment. One of
the tributary valleys of that center Of
trade in southern New York is the
Chenango and it contains some of the
richest farming land in the world.
When the Binghamton Sugar Works
were started the farmers generally
went TO raising beets, but we are in
formed that the production has great
ly fallen off. Two years ago one of the
observant weekly papers printed in the
/
the farmers in its vicinity were dis
appointed at their returns from sugar
beets and would not raise further
: crops. We cannot say what has been
done since, but the absence of sugar
crop reports in the News and such OF
7 its contemporaries as come under our
eye, convince US that the Southern tier
of New York is not doing much to low
er the prestige of the cane industry.
How many other places cited by the
Louisiana Planter are in the same con-
dition is an interesting query.
However. 1t must be conceded that
the manufacture of beet sugar is grow
ing. But so is the ratio of consumption
The American consumer is adding a lit
tie all the time to the amount he Is
using per capita but is still a good
ways behind the English consumer
Besides, new markets are opening up
The time will come when Japan will
want sugar for it's tea. Another cir
cumstance which helps cane sugar
prospects exclusively is that the prod
uct Is the only one that confectioners
will consent to use; and as the call foI
candy is increasing special and grow
ing market for cane sugar seems as
sured. And who knows when the SUI
gar beet will have to meet the newt
able bug pest?
On the whole, therefore, Hawaii, as
one of the few cane-growing districts
need not feel alarmed at the outlook
For many years to come there will bC
no sensible diminution In the call fol
our sugar; and quite likely there never
will be any. The American market i.
ours as much as it is that of the bee
men; and the time may come when w,
shall get the benefit of a vast Orienta
, demand.

The Prime Requisites.

1T must constantly be borne In
mind" asserts President Hadley OF
Yale. that the training of every free
citizen is not so much a development
of certain lines of knowledge as a de-
velopment of certain essential qualities
of character and habits of action. Cour-
age, discipline and loftiness OF purpose
are the things really necessary for
maintaining a free government If a
citizen possesses these qualities OF
character. he will acquire the knowl-
edge which is essential to the conduct
of the country's institutions and to the
reform of the abuses which may arise"

The statement OF J. z. Mccoy in an
interview given elsewhere that the for

Government and imperled the ENJOYS
by firing on the Taku forts Is a strong
presentation of fact. Assuming that
the Government was overridden by a
mob and unable to help the ENJOYS, that
was no reason for the foreign powe
to shell the imperial defences. AS we'll

1t is pleasant for the Republicans of
Hawaii to be told that their choice for

II Is an interesting point which Law
yer Poepoe raises as to the legality OF
an election, before the Legislature
meets, of a Delegate in Congress.
Chapter V, Sec. IS of the Act to Pro-
vide a Government for the Territory Of
Hawaii says that the times. places and
manner OF holding the elections (for
Congressional Delegate) shall be fixed
by law. No Legislature has met this
requirement as yet and until one does
so. Lawyer Poepoe cannot see how a
lawful election may be held.
