New Apparatus for the
Handing of Sugar
Cane.

A. Leblanc of New Orleans, an old
sugar planter of Louisiana, has in
vented an apparatus for the cutting,
topping and stripping of cane which he
is anxious to nave introduced in the
Hawaiian Islands and he may shortly
come here to give. the apparatus prac-
teal test in a Hawaiian cane field
His apparatus not only comprises a
machine for cutting, stripping and top
ping cane, but also a supplementary
device for lifting up the blown down
and tangled canes so common In Ha-
wall, and other tropical countries. The
machine invented by Mr.. Leblanc is
extremely ingenious, and he has made
little model which shows the method
of operation, and anyone who is famil-
lar with sugar planting would be at
once attracted by the care and ingenu-
/ ity he has bestowed ON the construc-
ton of his apparatus. There is much
money to be made out of successful
machine of this kind, and it is believed
that Mr.. Leblanc has the machine tc
solve the problem, saving an immense
amount of money to the sugar planters
who are now compelled to cut, STRIP
and top their cane by hand at al
enormous expense.
Mr.. LeBlanc's machine is devised t.
cut six acres of cane in day, with twt
boys, one man, pair of mules and

THE WORD OF HONOUR.

The men who do as they say;
the things that prove to be what
at they were said to be,-how
cheering it is to come upon them.
We all hate to be deceived; es-
pecially when the deception is in
territorial. But all men are not
liars, even if David did say so in
his haste. If they were society
would be impossible. Everybody
knows that business is based
On credit, on faith. Millions are
bought and sold daily on nothing
more solid than the pledged pro-
misses of men,-not written, mere
ly verbal. The Stock Exchanges
are often called nests of gamblers,
yet nowhere is a promise held
in greater honour. Therefore
when we say that the tried and
effective modern remedy called
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION
never deceives any who resort to
it ia hope of benefit and cure, we
may expect to be believed. For
this assurance is given on what it
has done in the past in countless
cases,-on it's record. 1t is only
recommended to accomplish what
it was made to accomplish. It's
action in Chlorosis, Anemia, La
Grippe, General Debility, Throat
and Lung Troubles, Blood Inn
purities, etc. is convincing. It is
pslatable as honey and contains
the nutritive and curative pro-
perties of Pure Cod Liver Oil,
extracted by us from fresh cod
livers, combined with the Com
pound Syrup of Hypophosphites
and the Extracts of Malt and
Wild Cherry. DR.. Austin D. Ir-
vine, of Canada, says: 81 have
used it in cases where cod liver
oil was indicated but could not
be taken by the patient, and the
results following were very graft
flying" 1t is effective from the
first dose and agrees with the
most sensitive and nervous stom-
achs. 1t cannot deceive or disap-
point you, and comes to the res
cue of those who have received
no benefit from any other treat
ment. 1t stands for the medical
triumphs of the age. At chemists.

labor. We infer that this was NOT ar
exceptionally arduous and strenuous
day, but merely an average one in the
committees existence.
A single incident shows the natience
and dignity with which the three Sem
ators travelling at the expense of the
contingent fund have fulfilled their oh
legations to the 57th Congress and the
American people. When Humphreys
appeared for the third time to present
the pecuniary claims of the formerly
great and good Liliuokalani, two OF the
three Senators were inclined to regard
MIN as bore. This is what happened:
There was some little clouding in
the minds of the members of the com
mission when Humphreys began. SEN
ator Mitchell said to him: You have
appeared before this body in two capac-
tiles. First you came as amicus cur
lac for the people of the Territory, and
later as the attorney for the former
capacities do you appear now? Hum
phreys said he was coming under the
general invitation of the people to pre-
sent any matters which they thought
to be of special Importance. and, in
addition, to special invitation given
by one of the members OF the commits
sion. Some one in the audience whis-
pered Butt in! and with that the ar
gument and the statement went on
So Humphreys butted in for the third
time, and the self-sacrificing committee
OF tourists permitted him to butt.

THE HAWAIIAN
EXCURSION
Utilized by Funny Man il
Default of Other
Material.

| Not long before Congress adjourned
! last summer Senator Mitchell of Ore
gon caused some of his fellow states
men to elevate their eyebrows to the
arc of amusement by offering a resolu-
| ton for the investigation of affairs in
| the Hawaiian Islands during the recess.
The Senator undoubtedly apprehended
gestion was received, for he fastened
to say:
81 wish it understood that I could
not serve on the committee, even if |
were appointed have other engage
ments for the summer, and therefore
am to be relieved from the suspicion
of any effort on my part to get up a
committee for the purpose of a summer
outing"
| Nevertheless. when the time came to
sail, Senator Mitchell discovered that
his other engagements were not of cast
iron, for he went along with the rest.
His resolution had gone through, but
not without a slight hitch On Mr..
Foraker's motion it was curiously re-
i ferred to the committee to audit and
control the contingent expenses of the
Senate. That tribunal, through the
genial Mr. Jones of Nevada, reported
! favorably, but Mr.. Aldrich of Rhode
Island objected and the resolution was
laid over for several days. Good
nature finally prevailed and Mr.. Mitch
| ell, Mr. Burton of Kansas, and Mr..
Foster of Washington were authorized
to make the journey at the expense OF
the contingent fund of the Senate. AS
we have remarked, the disinterested
promoter of the excursion went along.
At least one of the Hawaiian inves-
tigators has now returned to this con-
tinent, for Senator Foster was reported
the other day as entertaining the Hon.
| Charles E. Littlefield, of Maine, at
Tacoma. Whether Mr.. Mitchell and Mr..
| Burton have finished their labors we
do not know. Probably they have re-
turned also, for the season for what
Senator Mitchell described as summer
outing" is about over. The one thing
certain is that during the past three
months the attention of the great
American public has not been concen-
trated upon the movements and doings
of the subcommittee for the investiga-
ton of Hawaiian affairs in general

stocks and Realty

The old saying that. when the stock
market is active the real estate market
is quiet and rice rersd. is undoubtedly
true in a general way Other things
being equal, the general public prefers
to invest and speculate in property for
which there is an active market, and
OF course, this preference is a factor in
delaying the period OF greatest expan-
sion in the real estate market The say
ing Is consequently true in the sense that
the public is not likely to be largely occu-
pied in the real estate market and m
Wall Street at one and the same time.
The class Of professional operat ors
in real estate, however, has grown very
rapidly in the last few years. Som.
conception Of the expansion in the vol
ume OF this speculative trading may be
oOtalne,i from the spreau Ui the prac-
tice OF naming nominal consideration
in the deeds filed in the Registers Office
Professional operators naturally prefer
to withhold from the public the prices
they pay for landed property. Their OBJ
jet is to buy cheap and sell dear. and
success at this game requires secrecy
with regard to profits. In 1868 less than

on the issue that from the beginning to
the end Of all great strikes invariably
rises to prove ol ganized labor to be in
conflict with the law. The non-union
men, or union men asserting their indie
pendence Of President JOHN MITCHELL,
appeared to tell their story Of outrages
at the hands Of those subject to MITCH

who refused either to pay rent for the

are now telling Of being put in peril Of
their lives in homes legally theirs. and
that, too, for refusing, at MITCHELL =
dctation, to surrender their right to
work.
The situation Of the union men excited
widespread sympathy. The case of the
non-union men calls for undivided public
