PROSPERITY FORERUNNER.

Increase in the steamer traffic with
San Francisco and Puget Sound ports
as well as Improvement of the charao-
ter of steamers plying in the old lines
is a portion of Hawaii's share in the
general prosperity resulting from Am-
erican expansion in the Pacific. While
this increases the local competition it
will also tend to make the cost OF liv-
ing in Hawaii cheaper and place the
necessities of life furnished by the
butcher and baker nearer a normal
basis.
This shortening Of distances with our
natural source of supply ought to not
only make up for the local failure to
furnish supplies which local fields can
produce. By reducing the expenses Of
living, II should make the Islands more
popular for such permanent residents
as may be gathered from the increasing
number of tourists. Finally 1t should
result in supplying demand particu-
larry apparent at this time-more mon
ey from the outside. This Is the one
pressing necessity that appeals to every
citizen. Any channel Of immediate or
prospective relief will be hailed with
joy by the smallest salaried laborer 70
the most opulent capitalist. With the
unprecedented impetus the election of
Mckinley has given to all lines o;
trade on the Mainland, the day ought
not to be far distant when Hawaii will
feel the direct benefit gained from out
side capital seeking investment in the
local industries as well as the lines
of supply. That this will come in the
course of time may be accepted as q
foregone conclusion. If Hawaii hopes
to get It's full share promptly, VIXEN
needed, its business men will take pos'-
tive measures through its mercantile
organizations towards making a bid
for new capital. No section of the
United States offers better field for
good dividend paying investments than
is to be found right here in Hawaii
What is needed is an active campaign
to start capital in this direction.

CHARITY BALL ROMANCE

New York Nov. 26.-Millionaire
Giovanni Morosini announced today
the marriage Of his son, Attic p, to
Miss Mary Washington Bond, the beau-
tiful Washington society girl, who last
year was the belle of the charity ball,
confirming the story circulated in up

SIM was opposed to the match simply
on religious grounds. Young Moroslni
met his wife first at the charity ball,
and his attentions were so assduou9
thereafter that society expected the an
nouncement of the engagement at the
opening OF the present winter season,
but instead they heard rumors of a
secret wedding.
Three weeks ago the runaways went
to an Italian priest in Jersey City. a
friend of the Morosini family, who're
fused to perform the ceremony without
the consent Of the elder Morosini. The
couple Immediately sought and found
priest who asked no questions. The
bride was admittedly the most beau.l-
full member of the Southern colony in
Washington. She is grandniece OF

GOOD LABOR SCHEME.

The mission of Mr. Silva has more
the appearance of satisfactory success
than any movement thus far proposed
TO supply the demand for plantation
labor. II Portuguese families can be
obtained for the plantations, particu-
larly from among those who know
what work on Hawaii plantations Is,
the black eye given the country by
the old contract labor system ought tt
be promptly overcome. Return of mel
who know the country is the best ma
terial the planters can possibly have
for recruiting new material in Ameri,
can, Porto Rican or Italian sources OF
supply.
Heretofore every man leaving a Ha,
waiian plantation has detailed a tale
of woe that has spread broadcast and
increased steadily in its horror as il
made its course around the globe
With the tide once turned, and it be.
comes equally well known that white
laborers are returning to the planta-
tions, Hawaii can afford to join in the
condemnation of past contracts ana
combine to make the sugar plantations
good name as marked as its past has
been bad. Hawaii needs men. Not
Asiatic slaves nor New Orleans loafers
nor New York buns, but men willing
to work for good return and fulfill the
duties and responsibilities Of American
citizenship.
