1t Is curious how closely knit the
world is now. A century or so ago the
failure of a crop in one hemisphere had
no effect upon countries of another
hemisphere, Now, If there is a short
age of wheat crop in the Argentine it
affects all the wheat markets in the
world If there is a very large vintage
in France, the wine growers of Cali
fornia promptly feel the effects. Thus
it is that a shortage in the beet sugar
crop of Europe has sent cane sugar
and beet sugar, on our side of the At
lantic, up to better price, has given
a boost to sugar stocks and has bright
ened faces all around our city.
The season in Europe has not been
a good one, and the results of the beet
sowings shows that there will be a
heavy Falling off in the coming year.
The sugar experts estimate the falling
off at 100000 tons This with the visi-
BILE supply of sugar in other countries
probably means an advance in price
up to four or four and one-half cents
a pound. Such a rise means the diff
ference between the serious depression
we are suffering from and reasonably
flush times At three and a half cents
we would receive seventy dollars a ton
for our sugar. At four and a half
cents we would get ninety dollars a
ton. 4 crop of 100000 tons at the for
mer price would yield SIS, 2OO,0 OO But
we only received 23,92OOOO for our crop
for the period ending June 80, 1902,
showing that we received less than
three and a half cents throughout the
year A similar crop and we may
really look for a larger one, at four
and a half cents a pound, or ninety
dollars ton, would give a return of
$32, 400 900, over $S,OOO,OOO more than we
received for our 1902 biennial period
If SS,OOOO00 additional came into the
plantations there would be much rejoic-
ing throughout the group, and the
present financial stringency would
completely disappear.

in so many of these international races
Sir Thomas thoroughly understands
what the terms should be, and there
will be no probability than anything
will be asked which cannot be granted.

which sail, and of the public which

The proposed branch line from Fam
ming Island here, will give US, as well
as the British cable, a second string to
the bow. If there should be any stop
page or any accident to either cable
the one uninjured would be able to car

advantage to both companies, but more
to the advantage of the British than it
would be for the American line.
The telegraph, when it comes, will
be a source of wonder for few weeks,

GATHERING GRIST.

the future prosperity of their wives and
families is attacked, it is but natural
that they should feel sore, and should
resent the attack The Senatorial COM
mittee, however, values this kind of at
tack at it's proper worth. To listen to
invective and TRADE is a part Of its
duty, and it listens without comment,
but that by no means argues that it Is
swayed by such invective, or by such
glittering generalities. The Chamber
of Commerce has therefore rightly de-
cided that no categorical reply should
be made to the attack and that it
should not be refuted in detail. The
committee of the Chamber will draw up
its plain statement of fact, and will
leave to the members of the Senatorial
committee the task of contrasting the
two statements and drawing their own
deductions.
Secretary Cooper, before the speech
alluded to was made, had supplied a
wonderful amount of facts. The speech
itself was in reality an effort to throw
doubt upon the Secretary's statements.
Facts in cases of this kind go a very
great deal further than rhetoric. Facts
are what the committee want, they are
quite able to supply their own com
ments for themselves.
, 1t is all important that all sides Of
the question which are agitating our
body polite should be put forward.
The commercial and progressive men
of the community have nothing to fear
from investigation. The more their po-
sition is understood, the more the large
interests involved are considered, the
more the pioneer work, which has been
ritory a productive center, is learned
about. the better will it be for the in
terests of the population. Prosperity
to the capitalist means prosperity to
the whole community and it will be
found that the prosperity of the rich
has been shared in by those who had
not the opportunities for making
wealth,
We may look forward without fear
of any kind to the report of this COM
mittee, and may consider ourselves
fortunate that it has come. Let facts
and figures be ably put together and
the effect of the information will not
only influence the members of the COM
mittee here, but the other members who
have not come here, and through them
will influence the views of all Con-

The Senatorial committee Is gradual
ly collecting a large amount of mlterial
which later on it will sift down. At the
present time its main object is to gather
facts and to listen to views. The facts
are the most important but views are
also important as they tend to show
how facts act upon various minds, Of
ten causing Numerically opposing de-
ductions. Naturally the most important
of views come from the commercial
community. The facts that they pre-
sent, and the deductions that they draw
from those facts are of the utmost va
lue. A country a state or territory
depends upon it's commercial prosperity
II it has no prosperity it sinks into In
significance and it's go ahead and pro-
gressive citizens and inhabitants leave
it and seek fortune and a field for their
energy elsewhere.
One of our commercial bodies has laid
a memorial before the Senatorial Com
mittee, and most able document 1t
was. 1t was reviewed at length in these
columns yesterday. 1t set forth the
situation from the point of view of
some of the most progressive of our
mechanical and trading population, and
carefully eschewed politics, save that
the question of increasing the veto
power was suggested as a method OF
overcoming the unrest and lack of con-
iidence in the Legislation Of the future.
Whether this would prove efficacious is
a point for considerable discussion, but
the fact that it was made in the docu-
ment shows that among the mechanical
and trading population there is lack
of confidence.
The Star does not by any means en-
dorse such method believing that this
question of political timidity of the
future will eventually be settled at the
polls. even though it may not be so set
tied at this election. But it is an inn
portant straw, showing which way the
wind blows to note that in a document

THE BEHUTIES OF LEAH.

The writ of me eXeat" seems to hold
the debtor most effectually. In former
years what an immense amount of
printers ink was used up in denounc-
ing the inquitous passport law. Ac-
cording to the passport law a man
could not leave the Territory unless he
paid his debts. The process was to
give notice at the Custom House, and
a passport could not be issued. 1t used
to be denounced as a most iniquitous
law, contrary to the liberty of the sub
ject who should be free to come and
go as he pleased.
Well, we got rid of our passport law,
but if anyone attempts to get away
without paying his debts, he runs up
against a writ of me eXeat," and has
either to pay or come off the steamer.
The main change is that whereas, pre-
yiously, the services of a lawyer were
not needed, they are necessary in pres
ent circumstances.
The whole reminds one very fOrcibly
of the Scotch law for the Imprisonment
of debt Under the Scotch law no one
could be imprisoned for debt and yet
the prisons were full of debtors. The
theory was a beautiful one. 1t was
true that no one could be imprisoned
for debt but the King took, as he
should, an interest in the affairs of his
subject, and a creditor naturally APP
pealed to the King, through his repre-
sentatives the courts, to have his
wrong righted. The courts thereupon
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1902-09-11

issued first a gentle reminder that the
debt must be paid, then a stronger one,
and lastly very strong one. This was
followed by immediate seizure and inn
prisonment, not, be it understood, on
account of the debt, but for disobey-
ing the King when he had ordered the
debt to be paid. The difference was
very marked, and the liberty of the
subject was preserved, though he
roasted in Jail will he, nil he.
Our present position with regard to
debtors in the Territory is very SINH
lar. Every one is free to come and go
as he pleases. No relic of medievalism
in the shape of an inquitous passport
can stop him. Passports belong to I'M
perial despotisms like Russia. Our law
preserves the liberty Of the subject
most scrupulously. But the law must
look after the creditor, and while con-
ceding every freedom to the indivi-
dual, it steps in with a gentle decree of
me eXeat," to which the boiling debtor
must bow or go to jail for disobeying.
We used to laugh at the old Scotch
theory, and make ribald jokes upon
it, but, faith it is equalled here. How
ever this is the law, and it is danger
Gus to laugh at the law and it's admin
istrators. A sort of sanctity surrounds
the law however foolish 1t may be, and
a halo of righteousness surrounds it's
however unworthy they
may be. Speak of the law with bated
breath
