VALUE OF JARED SMITHS
PROPOSALS FOR HAWAII

if we had a man who understands the
business
5. And pigs
This business can be carried on and be-
come a very profitable one on lands
about ten miles distant from Honolulu.
Pigs are imported and consumed in
large quantities; they can be easily rails
ed by good food growing here, such as
sugar cane, etc. Mr. Smith may give
some advice to stop further Importation
g. "Coffee-raising will be studied"
And i have studied it for years; but
this is not now an agricultural enter
prise, but question of cheap labor for
picking, etc.
| T. Forestry will be done on the noun
tain tops
InnumerabIe blunders have been com
mitted by attempts to reforest our vast
and bare mountain slopes with entirely
useless trees. 1t is a pitiful sight to
see those miserable and geod-for-nothing
lmonkey-pods on the Makiki ridge Even
the eucalyptus are of little use, and
only during the last few years have use
full trees like alligator pears. mangoes,
oranges, etc, been planted there.
Other trees on my mountain retreat,
such as peaches, pears, apples, apricots.
etc, have not done as well as perhaps
they might have done if treated by an
expert, and Mr. Smith certainly can edu-
cate number of young people to be-
come experts.
Before closing / wish to state most en-
! phatically that nothing in my remarks
! Is intended to cast any reflection upon
Hawaiian experts, such as Messrs. Her
/ bert, Blouin, Clark. Vredenburg Taylor,
laughs and others but that + merely
wish to note my protest against any un-
kind remarks concerning Mr.. Jared
Smiths commission. He should be re-
ceived by ali practical farmers and in
tended agricultursts with open arms and
be thanked for all advice joyfully and
appreciativeiy. Welcome to Mr.. Jared
Smith from all good Hawaiians, includ-
ing yours sincerely,

Editor Advertiser: Everybody must
have noticed how the Honolulu newspa-
pers had nothing but sarcasm and sneers
for Mr.. Jared Smith, the coming United
States agricuiturist and his reported re-
marks or explanations of his plans. In
terested parties kept cool and so did l.
but now comes the Paradise of the Pa
ciic" in a sample number and sueers
again and ridicules Mr. Smith.
All City folks may agree with the edi-
tor of the Paradise. but 1 do not believe
that any experienced farmer will join
the WlSeacres in talking or writing
against Mr.. Smith and his plans. If you
allow me, | will quote from his report

experienced farmer) my own observa-
tons:

Hawaiian people how to grow garden

Well, have tried again and again all
kinds of vegetable seeds in the Tantalus
mountains without the slightest success
Ny gardeners were of different national
ities-American, German, Portuguese,
Chinese, Japanese, etc-but all failed.
There is no doubt that all kinds of vege-
tables can be raised on any plantation
but 1t requires somebody who under

Mr.. Smith is certainly able to advise and
to instruct.
2. They will also be taught the value
of dairy cows" etc.
There is no doubt that they are of
great value to poor and other families,
and 1 would like to make my own but
ter, ETC., but 1 have not succeeded in
finding any expert dairyman unless pay
him $50 for each pound of butter. My
farm furnishes food enough for several

waiian consumption

of hay and other feed are imported from
abroad We certainly can raise all re-
quired feed on our Islands, but it takes

PRAYER FOR THE KING.
The Friends Comment on a Local
\Episcopal Custom.

Our greatly esteemed friend, the edi-
tor of the Anglican CHURCH Chronicle,
appears to have in View the March is
sue of The Friend, in some structures
upon the unreasonableness of Directing
to prayers in Hawaiian churches for
the King of England. We hasten to
assure our good neighbor that we
might approve of such prayers, if
suitably worded. Our objection was
solely to the kind of prayer promul-
gated, which contained expressions re-
pugnant to the democratic minds of
Americans. 1t was for this reason that
we reprinted the prayer in full.
Such expressions are the three fol-
lowing THAT his people may never
be wanting in honor of his person. and
dutiful submission to his authority"
do thou weaken the hands, blast the
designs, 4dand defeat the enterprises of
all his enemies, that no secret con-
spiracies. nor open violences, may dis
quiet his reign" that supported by
Thy powers may be triumph over all
opposition"
The first of the above three petitions
savors too much for the America
mind, of subserviency to royal sta
ton and authority. The second is re-
pugnant to the principle that it is Of
ten a duty of citizens to use violence
in resisting the tyrannies of kings, as
did Cromwell and Hampden. The third
petition assumes that the king will al
ways be in the right. AS Americans,
we cannot pray that King Edward may
triumph over US, if we should happen
to be in opposition to him. We respect
fully recommend that the prayer be
materially changed, and made suitable
for the American citizens of Hawaii
to offer in behalf of our honored neigh
Dor, the King of England. What is
manifestly needed here is a bishop of
healthy American instincts to preside
over an American church.

Missionary-phobia.

The New York Sun recently devoted
a column or two to showing that the
mortality of the Sandwich Islands was
in consequence of the missionaries
teaching them to wear shirts, which
were destructive to health! The pres
ent writer can personally testify that
up to 1S40 twenty years after the ar
rival of the missionaries, very few OF
the natives ever wore shirts. except at
church. Moreover, the decrease or
population was more rapid during the
forty years before the missionaries
came, than it was in the forty succeed

NEWSPAPER MAILS MISTAKE,
TO n senator Instead of
His own.

Baltimore newspaper man once
came over to Washington to do some
interviewing of public men, Gays
Washington correspondent of the
Philadelphia North American. 1t was
when Garret a. Hobart was vice presi-
dent, and he called upon that distin-
guished New Jerseyan first. Then,
with fear and trembling, he went to
the residence of a senator who was
noted for frigidity toward representa-
tives of the press. He sent up his card
and expected to be sent curt refusal
to be seen. What was his astonish-
ment when the lackey came down
stairs, bowed profoundly and said
that Senator So-and-So would be down
in just a minute, and would he be so
good as to make himself at home
meanwhile. In less than that time the
statesman came down the staircase
at a pace that made the reporter fear
for the safety of his limbs.
"Ah! Mr.. Hobart, delighted TO see
you," he said, as he entered, with his
hand outstretched, and before his eyes
mad become accustomed to the dark
ened parlor. Then, of a sudden, he
drew himself up stifily, fumbled in
his waistcoat, pulled out the card that
had been sent to him, and demanSsd:
what do you mean by this imposi-
tion, sir?" Like lightning it flashed
on the newspaper man what had hap
pened. He had, while in the vice pres.
ident's room, inadvertently picked up
one of Mr.. Hobart's cards and had
used it by mistake for one of his own.
His apologies were ample, but the
senator could not be induced to for
give that thrilling dash down the slip
perry staircase simply to accommodate
a mere scribbler.

MUST CARE FOR THEIR OWN.
Parents In The state of Ohio Are HeIa
Responsible for Their Chill
dren's support.

The Ohio Legislature at its last ses-
sion passed a law attaching a penalty
of a term in the penitentiary for par.
ents who refuse to support their off
spring. The first conviction under
this law is reported from Columbus
1t appears that a miner named Raby
was making good wages, but he could
not be induced by the authorities TO
support his only child Some months
ago he separated from his wife, and
he made a fight for the possession of
Abe child and was successful. As he
was not prepared to properly provide
for the child, il was taken to the chill
dren's home to be cared for. When
the child was left there II was the dis
tinct understanding that he was to pay
a certain stipend for the services. He
Sailed.to comply with his contract, and
all the urging Of the county officers
had no effect in inducing him TO let
loose of his purse strings to pay for
the necessaries of life for his child
After a large number of admonitions
he was arrested and the court SEN
tenced him to serve one year. In April,
1890, the general assembly passed
law attaching a workhouse sentence
for cases of that kind, but the law
was amended by the last legislature.
and the penitentiary was substituted
for the workhouse.
