WHITE IMMIGRANTS.

The statement that white labor is to
be introduced on one of the plantations
is very satisfactory, if it proves to be
true. From such sources as French
Canadians and Portuguese a thorough.
ly reliable and satisfactory population
can be built up. The Portuguese popu-
lation which we have here has alwavs
been most satisfactory one 1t has
built up one of the most industrious
communities we have in the Territory.
In Honolulu, wherever the Portu-
guese locates, he makes for himself a
pleasant home, and every member OF
the family is taught to work. The Cos
pei OF labor is preached most effectively
ana the gospel of obedience to parents
is equally well inculcated. The houses
OF the Portuguese always show t,,ir,
gardens, the produce of which goes IN
partially support the family, at meals
out the choice portion is sold and the
returns added to the family purse Tho
small Portuguese boys form about On
per cent of the news boys of the citv
ana every cent they earn also goes into
the FAMILY purse. There is thus hardly
portuguese family in the city, but has
money laid by, ready to meet contigen-
cies of the future.
Upon the other islands the Portuguese
nave taken up land and have become
very desirable residents. Upor tha
slopes of Haleakala between Makavao
and Ulupalakua, there are numberIess
portuguese small farmers who cultivate
corn beans, potatoes, raise pigs. chick-
ems turkeys and various domestic fowls
one can also find them in various parts
of Hawaii equally Industrious and
equally prosperous.
The French Canadian is reported as
equally industrious and equally thrifty
II these people, after they have saved
from their wages as laborers, can get

GOOD PROSPECT.

A successful wireless telegraphy mes
sage it is said was obtained upon the
pole at Kaimuk from Molokai yester-
day and there seems every hope of the
system being in working order within
a short time. Mr.. Gray, the gentleman
sent out by Marconi to look into the
cause of failure has found two-one
that the ground wires went into dry
earth and the other that the poles were
improperly placed. The reason given
for a connection having been made yes
terday was that the recent rains had
so saturated the soil around Kaimuki
that the ground wires could do the duty
expected of them.
1t has been a great misfortune that
the mistakes made in the wireless tele-
graphy should have occurred. Indeed
If they are so simple,it is astonishing
that Mr. Marconi did not send out pro-
perly qualified men or a properly quail
fled man to install his system. 1t is very
evident that the men sent in the first
instance were not properly qualified.
AS The star has frequently pointed
out the establishment with success, of
the Marconi system of wireless telegra-
ply between the islands means much to
the Company that has been fomred It's
lack of success here for a period of six
months has naturally had it's effect else
where. If these islands can be connec-
ted by wireless telegraphy other Islands
can, and many places which are now
isolated because of the expense of lay
ing cables, could be connected with the
outside world
Another blow which wireless telegra-
ply received was its lack of success in
the Boer War. This has been explain
ed on the theory of bad" earth that is,
earth of non conducting character
Whether this is true or not is still an
undecided question. It may or may not
be.
However, as things are. through Mr.
Gray getting into shape we will all hope
that the set back is but temporary. and
that we look for regular communication
in the near future.

BEET SUGAR.

The beet sugar business in France
mas not grown in proportion with that
OF other countries of Europe. Though
there has been an actual increase in
the last thirty y Ars it has not kent
pace with the other countries of En-
rope. In 1879 France stood at the head
of the beet sugar producing nations
ten years later she was tim a little
ahead though Germany and Austro-
Hungary were hIose at her heels. in
1880, those coentries had passed her
and Q was relegated to the third
place. while in the present Russia has
also passed. and now she occupies the
fourth place..

1t does not seem any good to contest
the election. 1t is much better to ac-
cept the preset position. AS The Star
said yesterday, when the Legislature
meets it will not be found such bad
one after all. The members will want
sensible Legislation as a majority,
though there will be a few cranks who
will be asking for ridiculous legislation,
but it will not find very strong support.
The Legislature Of a Territory, more
over has considerable limitations. Now
II w. had been state it would have
been very different.

The weather bureau has been very ac-
curate in forecasts and credit should be
given to Curtis j. Lyons for his careful
observations. When wireless telegra-
ply gets going the weather bureau win
be able to signal to the various islands
and much more accurate data can be
obtained. At present the bureau has to
depend as far as the other islands are
concerned upon written reports which
come in very irregularly. Improve
ments are coming along steadily in all
directions.

Unlike Plus TX. He Possesses
a Frugal Mind.
ENOUGH VALUABLE PRESENTS TO FILL A MUSEUM
Has Amassed $2O,OOO,OOO, the Most
of Which Is in the Bank
of England.

Perhaps it is hardly reverent to
mention the Pope in the same breath
as Mrs. John Gilpin, but in one point
he strongly resember her. Like her,
he possesses "a frugal mind"
His predecessor, Pope Plus TX, was
as open handed a man as one would
imagine him to be from the very sight
of the pleasant. smiling face, SC familiar
to all from his portraits. He loved to
make people happy, and therefore,
though he received an immense num-
Der of valuable presents, he generally
found that somebody needed them far
more than he needed them himself.
II priest came to him and told him
that his altar needed decoration, Pope
Plus would make him picture for it,
or if a charity needed funds, and q ba-
zar was held with that object, the
Pope would contribute beautiful
jeweled cross or some other valuable to
be raffied for.
But the 'frugal mind" of Pope Leo
XIII does not prompt him to act in
this way, and consequently he has
amassed enough valuable presents to
fill museum, and his jewels are FAM
Gus for their worth and beauty. He
is the owner of the largest diamond in
the world, and this, oddly enough,
was given to him by that stanch Pro
testant, President Kruger. 1t is val
ued at 81, 100000.
Among the Pope's treasures are
thirty tiaras set in diamonds, emer
aids, rubies and pearls and one of gold,
thickly studded with diamonds and
topazes which shoot out rays of white
and orange light. Then he has 100
rings, one of the most magnificent be
ing present from the Sultan. This
ring contains marvelously beautiful
blue diamond and is valued at 500, 600.
Of gold crosses the Pope has no less
than 31S, set with all kinds of precious
stones. Besides 1900 chalices and 900
ostensoril for the exposition of the
host, he possesses eighteen pastoral
staves, all these things being of richly
chased silver or of gold and adorned
with diamonds, emeralds, rubies or
other precious stones.
The Pope also possesses number of
statues of gold and silver, those repre-
senting the Blessed Virgin having
crowns of the richest jewels. Besides
all these jewels there are Thousand
other valuables- statues, pictures,
porcelain, etc.
The Pope is said to have amassed
$40, 900, 900, the greater part of which
is in the Bank of England and the rest
in various state banks. He is consid-
cred by Romans to be an excellent fl
nancier and an accomplished diplomat.
Not only has he entirely freed the Holy
See from debt; but every year there is
a good surplus.

Wheat in Oklahoma.

Oklahoma enjoys the unique distinc-
tlon OF being the only State or Terri
tory east of the Rocky mountains
which produced more wheat in 1899
than in 1898. The Government statis-
stician at Washington gives Oklahoma
credit for 1,21S.000 acres sown wit h
winter wheat and crop of 16, POP, 900
bushels. Only twelve of tho forty y-six
States of the Union raised more wheat
than Oklahama did this year. The
prominent grain States which pro-
duced less than Oklahama are Missouri
Illinois, Michigan, kentucky, Tennes-
see. Maryland and Texas.
