HAWAIlANs AS LAND OWNERS

Former President Sanford b. Dole,
Of Hawaii, contributes an interesting
statement to the news columns of the
American papers. 1t is that
the decrease of the Hawaiian race has
been steadily growing less rapid fen
the past several decades, especially the
female population. The increase oil
part Hawaiians tends to keep down the
number OF pure Hawaiians. While the
figures show race progress, the census
reports as to surviving children are
discouraging. In both the censuses of 1890
and 1896 the pure Hawaiian percentage
OF survivors was the lowest OF all ma
tionalities represented in the islands.
An encouraging outlook for the Ha-
waiians exists In the fact that out Of
e,327 owners OF real estate in 1896, 1895
were pure Hawaiians and 722 part Ha-
waiians. The facts are significant as
showing the ownership of holdings by
80 large a number of pure Hawaiians.
and the evident tendency OF the race
to acquire homsteads. Mr.. Dole re-
ports that there is reason to expect
that annexation Is going to influence
Hawaiian character very favorably
through the changed conditions effect
ed. Their old dependence on their
chiefs has ceased, and they are forced
TO rely more upon themselves, and
their footing with the white men in the
future will be equal The political
privileges they enjoy, in common with
other American citizens, he says, VIII
tend to educate them in public affairs.
The total valuation of real and per-
sonal property in Hawaii subject to ad
valorem assessment in 1900 is S97 ,49I,-
5s4. The receipts from taxes are es-
timated at s1,341, $50. The commerce OF
Hawaii is shown for the period be-
tween January / and June IA, 1900, as
follows: Imports, s1O,6s3,516i exports,
s14,404 ,496; customs revenues, S597, ,s97.
With the exception of the production Of
sugar, rice, firewood. fertilizers and
live stock, and the promotion Of irTi-
cation, the development Of the natural
resources of the Hawaiian islands is
stated to have scarcely begun.
Under the benign influence OF The
American government Hawaii. now the
key to the Pacific, also may become

MfEl LIE DEMAND

That the centre pier OF Market street
bridge is an obstruction to navigation,
menace to big ships, and detriment
to the business of the Harlan and Hol-
lingsworth Company and the financial
interests Of the people of the city was
apparent to all persons who saw the
big steamship James S. Whitney work
ed through the draw on Saturday. At
times her bow and her stern were but
few feet removed from the centre pier
and the wharves although her length is
but 290 feet. AS the Harlan and Hol-
lingsworth Company expects to bid
upon and obtain contracts for vessels
much longer than the Whitney. the
centre pier must be torn out and the
channel widened, or 1t cannot get them
out after they are built and launched.
All talk Of keeping the bridge as III
is and compelling the company to re-
move its yards to the Delaware river
front is foollshness. 1t has a plant on
the Christiana river which cost many
hundreds of thousands of dollars. I'll

pensive economists who would rather
drive millions Of dollars worth of Ship
building away from our city than spend

condition to permit of the free and safe
passage OF ships of any width and
length
Happily, these economists have no
option in the matter The river is a
government stream. The secretary Of
war has sustained the complaint OF the
Harlan and Hollingsworth Company
that the centre pier Of the bridge is an
obstruction to navigation, and has or
dered its removal. The demand is i'm

GOLD IN PLENTY

Another blow has been struck at
Bryan and Free Silver. The largest
stock Of gold coin and bullion ever
held in the United States is now ac-
cumulated I'M the Treasury and its
branches. The total has been steadily
rising during the whole OF the present
year. and is now s474,1OS, ,566, or about
s76,000,O00 greater than at the close OF
1899.
This gold is not all the direct prop
erty Of the United States, but is held
against outstanding gold certificates.
The amount Of these, less the amount
In the Treasury and its branches, was
S2S0,755,3 309 ON Wednesday. All the re-
naming gold, amounting to about
$24S,000000, belongs to the Treasury
as a part OF the reserve fund Of $780,
600, 10000.
The influx Of gold into the Treasury
comes partly from the new gold from
the Klondike and other mines, but its
retention is due to pressure for cur
rency, which leads to the acceptance
Of gold certificates and other paper
money in preference to coin. The
Treasury recently has been shipping
small notes in large quantities to New
Orleans and other points upon deposits
of gold in the New York Sub Treasury
by the New York reserve agents
Of the Southern banks.
The fact that $474, Jos, 1886 is thus ac-
cumulated in a sense under a single au-
thOrity enables an estimate to be MAD,

lURNEDITS BACK UPON ITSELF

Two years ago, when the conditions
we're the same as they are at present,
the Morning News commended the Re
publican members OF the Legislature
for their refusal to vote for Addieks
for United States senator, and de-
nounced the Addicks members Of the
Legislature for their refusal to aban-
dom the policy of "Addlcks or Nobody"
Now It advocates the election Of Ad-
dicks. and denounces the Republican
members for their presumed adherence
to the principle of anybody but Ad-
dicks, providing the candidate is de-
cent and capable man." Addicks is the
same man he was two years ago-no
better, little worse. He controls
majority of the men who would sit in
caucus II a caucus composed OF Repub-
ican and Union Republican members
were held-Just as he did two years
ago. And yet the Morning News,
which at that time eulogzed the Re-
publican members for refusing to go
into caucus, and advised them that il
would be much better to create a va
cancy than to elect such a man as Ad-
dicks to the United States Senate, now
turns it's back upon itself, contends
that a binding caucus should be held,
and says that in its deliberate
judgment Addieks has won his election
to the United States Senate" Has it
ever occurred TO the Morning
News that the issue Of whether
or not the Republican members should
80 into caucus with Addicks in the
field was decided at the common pri-
maries held In this county? The Re-
publicans went before the people re-
serving to themselves the unqualified
right to remain out OF any caucus
which would consider Addicks as al
senatorial possibility, and they won
on that issue by an overwhelming
vote Has Il occurred to the Morning
News that between that primary cleo
ton and the general election agents
OF Addicks visited these Republican
candidates for the Legislature, asked
them 10 pledge themselves to go into
caucus, threatened to knife them II
they refused, and, when they refused
did knife them?
The Republican party stands where
II always has stood in regard to the
candidacy Of Addicks, and Addicks
stands where he always has stood in
regard to the election OF any Republi-
can. Neither has changed but the
Morning News apparently Topped from
Republicanism to Addicksiism, and, iu
the exhilaraton Of its rapid move
ment it imagined that the world had
Topped with it-a most mistaken no
tion, as it discovered to the cost Of its
dignity and character.
