FARMERS INSTITUTES AGAIN.
0 Be Held in Northern Neck Next Week.
Tobacco Growing.

Farmers Institutes, three in number are
soon to be held in the Northern Neck.
The schedule is as follows: March 18th,
Montross: 10th, Warsaw; 2lst, Heathville.
Commissioner of Agriculture hoiner will
be assisted in these lectures as usual by
Prof. Heiges and Mr.. Barber.
Commissioner Koiner returned yesterday
from Georgia. where he went to look
into the growing of tobacco under cover.
MIR. koiner gained a great deal OF lnfor-
nation along this line of work, which
he believes will prove of value in the
experiments that will be made this year
on the test farm in Charlotte county,
where tests will be made in growing the
different types of tobacco under cover
with different kinds of fertilizer. The
commissioner believes we can grow a
much larger per cent of fine wrappers
under cover, and perhaps we can grow
a more valuable type of tobacco that
we can not now grow in the usual man
ner. This is the true work OF a test
farm to find out for the farmer what is
the most profitable crop to grow and the
best manner in which to grow it. Where
the commissioner went there are now
600 acres of tobacco grown under cover.
while few years ago there was none
grown and they are growing a type OF
tobacco now that q few years ago no
one believed could be grown successfully
there.
Mr.. Koiner says that every trip he
makes out OF the State makes him glad
der that he lives in .OId virginny,,'' that
his State has many advantages over them

Mrs. Atkinson saw her horse standing IN

as being rather cheap. Mrs. Atkinson
was amazed: she was more than that.

The latest news recsived this
morning was OF great victory won
by the Democratic party in the
House of Representatives in behalf
OF the workngmen OF the United
States. The Pacific Coast Chinese
exclusion bill over which a bitter
fight has been made at Washington,
passed that body on the 9Th inst.
The Democratic party with the
help of few Republicans from the
Pacific Coast pioned the bill
while the majority OF Republicans
fought hard on behalf Of the Paci.
fic Mail.Southern Pacific and other
corporations against the passage OF
the bill. A further demonstration
Of the friendship OF the Dsmocra
tic parry towards to working
classes would be superhuous

case the "royalist" ghost, to which
it has an utter adherence and a
fear, will be lost sight of altogether,
1t will at once laud the Hawaiians
for having the good sense to be
long to that party. But that game
is known, as it he's been weighed
and found very much wanting.
Hawaiians will End it to their sor-
row to be of such party. 1t is
already too we'll known that the
Republican earnestness is not
sincere, but only skin deep for pur-
poses OF its own to gain the ad-
vantage over all Others, color being
hiudmost and uppermost at all
times.

its ponderosity to notice on so i'm

We are in perfect accord with our
correspondent that in the mainten-
ance Of political organization on
race lines is the greatest injury the
Hawaiians are doing to themselves.
Right you are, Mr.. Stewart. 1t ia
only question Of time when racial
lines will be eliminated and be en-
tirely o5litera!ed, we sincerely hope
so for our own good, for the Ha-
waiians will ultimately have to sue
cumb to superior numbers, which is
steadily increasing most alarmiogly
by every srrival from the Mainland.
This is a matter that cannot be
denied nor too lightly passed over.
Time was when the Hawaiians were
pre-eminent and predominatsd,
which latter will have to maze way
in time to the preponderapce OF the
whites. Whom that time comes, the
fight will be between the kamaainas
as against the malihinis, and the
sooner this is better understood by
the Hawaiiane, the better for them
selves, we hope, then they will
know to whom aud in whom to en-
trust their cause and which is a
matter quite within their province
to decide. .
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1902-04-15

On this subject, as we'll as other
matters bearing on politics general
ly, we have ad our say for the pre-
sent and will bear reiteration in the
future and prior to the coming full
election. 1t is for the Home Rule
AID the Democratic parties 10 be up
aud doing rather than to be
quiescent. Nothing is to be gained
by quietly sitting on their haunch-
es gaping at nothing and at some'
thing that bears no frution what
ever.

And tie sooner this comes about,
takes shape an d go into effect, the
better for all concerned in the
future "for battle royal" then it
would be known how we stand and
where we are at. When the fray
should come on again it would no
doubt be as suggested ty our
correspondent, "a battle for
honest, economi al and efficient
government which "would result
always in the promotion OF the
public good" We earnestly hope
to SEQ it 80.

fusion is the only remedy for tho
salvation OF the Home hule party.
That is the only source le It to them
in order to win out at the next

was reached by the result of the
recent Fourth District b;e.election
aud is a result that cannot be too
lightly overlooked.
