STRINGENCY.


That there is stringency in the money
market is a fact, but that the bottom
has dropped out of our tub is all nom
sense We have soil, climate and COM
mercial advantages which give us a
position that is unassailable. Our chief
industry has an assured future. In
former times we had need to trembIe
year by year. Our prosperity depended
upon the renewal Of the reciprocity
treaty, and that was attacked every
time that Congress met. 1t was no
wonder that men who had sugar invest
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1900-07-25

ments in those times grew gray haired
face.
But circumstances are very different
now. Our market for sugar is assured
for all time, and the product receives
the same protection that is given to
sugar plants of the South. We do not
whether we shall be ruined or not; we
know that we are safe.
The stringency is felt in two direc-
tions. First-and it is here that 1t is
most widespread-by those who have
invested in assessable stocks and who
sessments. Many of these bought in as
a matter of speculation, hoping for
rise which never came. They have
hung on to their investment, scraping
every cent they can get to pay up. I'm
der the present circumstances the banks
won't help them, and they very natu-
rally are in straits. Their straits tell
also in the second direction. This con-
sists of the new plantations. The
stockholders being unable to pay up,
the plantations need working capital,
which they cannot get.
If we look at the old established plan
tations and businesses, we see no signs
of bad times among them. They are
paying dividends right along, and even
the upheaval in the labor market does
not seem to have affected them. Had
Congress passed the bill taking up our
loan, a large amount of money would
have been let loose which would be
seeking investment, but the amount
would not be nearly as large as many
calculate upon. 1t is generally put
down at the full amount of 100000.
But a very large slice of the loan is
owned in England, and this may not be
reinvested here, but will go into gov
eminent loans elsewhere. That portion
of the loan which is owned here will,
of course, seek reinvestment here. How
large an amount that is it is impossible
to judge at present.
Confidence in our financial status will
grow, and as 1t grows, more capital will
come in. The new ventures like Nahiku
will eventually have capital enough to
start up again. The people who will
lose will be those holders of assessable
stocks who in common parlance have
bit off more than they can chew. But
the general prosperity of the country
will go on, ever increasing. 1t is not
to the advantage of the Territory to
make the whine about hard times which
has recently been made. With brick
layers earning six dollars a day, and
scarce at that, with other labor COM
handing high prices, the cry of hard
times seems somewhat anomalous.

English is to be the language of the
courts, and documents in any other
language will have to be translated,
while Hawaiian words in a bill of COM
plant must have their English equiva-
lent set alongside them. The dual sys-
tenn which has been in use so long mas
been very cumbersome and very ex-
pensive. The necessity for it has prac-
tically passed away There are very
few Of the younger generation who can
not speak and read English, and the
incentive to thoroughly understand it is
now very great. The dual system in the
Legislature led to double reports and
the Hawaiian version was always the
most expensive. There was the cost of
translation, and then there had to be
so much circumlocution that the num-
Der of pages was increased about TWEEN

An old friend turns up in the last
number of the Forum. F. L. Clarke
writes a paper upon the true story of
Hawaii. Seeing the paper was written
by Clarke it contains less errors than
one would imagine. However Clarke
writes in a very different strain to what
he did when he was a resident here.
Clarke was one of the Commissioners
who went to the South Seas to spread

heart watched Mrs. Emerson take
her first sip of coffee, for Mrs Major
had no idea of the brand favored by
the Burton family. Mrs. Emerson
raised her eyebrows the tinest bit
and slipped no more, and all the Joy
fled from Mrs. Ma aior's life at that
moment. The other neighborly cinch
players waded into the chicken salad
and things and cleared off the table
without comment. But Mrs. Major
knew what they were thinking. She
could tell by the white of Miss I'm
derwoods eye that the salad was too
salty, and there was an indefinable
curl to Mrs. Bryson's lip, which spoke
volumes concerning the chinaware.
Mrs. Ainsley's overwhelming flattery
for the luncheon told its own story to
Mrs. Major, and it was with much
difficulty she was able to finish her
second cup of coffee.
Mr.. Major, of course, saw none of
this. He dived into the salad and
waters and things with avidity and
cdIIltu Oll DTlSk conversation WITH
Mr.. Hermann on the chances of Oscar
Gardner when he gets into the ring
with Terry McGovern. When the last
morsel of wafer had disappeared Mr..
Major produced cigars for the men
and was happy and contented when
the smoke began to wreathe above
their heads. Mrs. Major kept up
fierce conversation with the ladies in
the parlor and her husband never
noted how remarkably sweet she was
to Miss Underwood or he might have
suspected something. Before long
Mrs. Bryson looked hard at her hus-
band, who was telling Mrs. Emerson
funny story, and said they really
must go. That started the exodus,
and in few minutes the hall tree
was stripped of its burden, and all
the rubbers were stamped on once
more. and dozen good-bys were said.
Mrs. Major had to kiss all the women
again and her husband shook hands
with each of the men and told him to
take care of himself. and when the

turned with a gratifed smile to his

Mr.. Hermann and Mrs. Major had
meanwhile succeeded in making four
points and care fed from that lady's
brow, for she was determined to beat
derwood.
The game had gone on merrily for
almost an hour, and the joy of Mrs.
Major was great, for she and her part
ner had won four games out of five
and Miss Underwood was correspond
ingly depressed Suddenly the door
leading to the culinary department
opened, and Martha stood in the OPEN
ing conveying to Mrs. Major by winks
and mods and other signal service best
known to mistresses and maids that
her presence was desired in the
kitchen.
Mrs. Major excused herself and hur-
ried out, followed by the knowing
glances of Mrs. Emerson and Mrs. Bry-
son. They had ''entertained" in the
past, and knew how it was.

Major, breathlessly, when she and

to warm spot near the steam coil.
"Well, never mind it," said Mrs.
Major, when we're ready I'll call you
and you can just serve the other
things" She started to return to the
parlor when she was hailed again by
her faithful servitor.
Mrs. Maycher," said Martha.
'Well, what is it now?" said Mrs.
Major, with new fears gripping her
heart.
"Well, I can't help it; but there's
no coffee" said Martha.
Mrs. Major sat down. weak and
nerveless. After all her thought this
was the one vulnerable point. She
had forgotten to examine the stock
of coffee, and, of course, Martha for
got it. She forgot everything.
While a thousand thoughts were
whirling through the head of the be-
wildered hostess, she heard the voice
of Miss Underwood calling sweetly-

turning desperately to Martha, she
ordered her to run upstairs by the
back way and borrow some coffee
from Mrs. Burton, and to do it quick,
if she wanted to live long in the land.
Then, adjusting her sweet, company
smile, again she strolled back to the
parlor and resumed the game.
