The total wealth of the world is es-
timated at $40O, 600, 900, 600. OF this
amount the United States in 1902 had
S94, 800, 900, 600, or nearly one-fourth.
Eugene Parsons in Gunton's Maya
zine for April supplements Mulhan's
statistics of wealth for 1895 with the re-
ports or estimates of wealth in the sew
eral nations in 1902, and from these
later reports IL appears that Great
Britain is the richest country in Europe,
with property and money amounting
to $50 900, coo, 900, OF to Lap per person.
France is the next richest nation of
Europe, with $4S, 000 0O0, 900 in money
and property, or 81 .257 per person, and

1t is pleasing to note the prosperity
of ones fellow men. Jonah Kumalae,
erstwhiIe sponsor to the Pauoa, water
scheme, signaiized the close of his work
in the regular session of the Legisla-
ture, by buying a grocery. He assures
the public that he has a new store, new
goods and new prices. Mr.. Kumalae
did not squander his legislative pay as
so many did but has been saving and
thrifty to degree that will make him
the envy of other Hawaiian statesmen.

BEET SUGAR FAILURES.

/ If sugar beet farming will not pay in
California where two more crops per
annum can be raised than in the cold
belt and where labor is cheap, it is hard
to see how it can be made to pay in the
East. The fact is, the failure at Wat
sonville was anticipated by a slump in
beet sugar production in many Eastern
localities, notably in New York; and the
Advertiser lately printed news from
Utah to the effect that unless Orientals
can be got to raise beets by contract,
the local manufacture must stop. Is it
too much to anticipate that, in the next
few years. the American output of beet
sugar will practically cease?
There are but two circumstances, and
these quite unlikely to happen, which
could restore the industry One is so
great rise in the market price of
sugar that the crop could be profitably
raised by dear labor; the other is the
introduction to the mainland of some
form of cheap labor. One must be san
guine indeed to think that either of
these conditions will come to pass.
Cane sugar. therefore, may be re-
garded as a safer investment than it
was when the prospects of beet sugar
were so bright. Then it,looked as if
the mainland would eventually feed it
self; but if beet sugar is to be aban-
doned it means the closing out of
dangerous competitor to cane in the
protected American market.

Why the Mahukona agent of the
wireless telegraph should have sent his
meteor story here on April 30 instead
of April 1, is a thing he ought to ex-
plain. For such vivid bit of Mum
chausenism the earlier date would have
been more appropriate. The late Joe
Mulhatton did a thing or two with
meteors but he never invented one
which passed through the sky rumbling
and shaking the earth and keeping on
view for a full hour and forty minutes.
This Hawaii meteor either had some of
the qualities of a fixed star or it moved
in circles like a celestial pinwheel. The
chances are, however, that the Mahu-
kona man was the one moving in cir
cles; in which case the authorities
should 60 where he lives and search

FACTS OF SMALL FARMING.

L. B. Kellogg, in his address before
the Farmers Institute, set 1ownsfonr
crops as the ones that could be profit
ably raised by the wahiawa colony:
Sugar cane,
Pineapples,
Sisal,
Bananas.
To these items of livelihood he could
have added dairy products, hogs, poul-
try and possibly honey, but he was
speaking OF soil crops only. Dairying.
as the purchase of the Irwin herd
shows. is going to be an extensive affair
at Wahiawa; hogs at last accounts
were doing Well there and sisaI is -four
ishing on much poorer land.
With these factors to depend on the
success of small farming in the Ter
ritory is assured. There is no mainland
district to compete with us for the four
export staples, and the local market
is most inviting for the subsidiary
products. Beyond are indefinite pos
s-Oilities for vanilla, tobacco. cocoa,
lines, alligator pears, chutney fruits,
etc.
The chance for the small farmer is
proved up, both as to remunerative
crops and land. All that is wanting IS
a Land Commissioner who will help
bring settlers here, not try to keep
them away.

INDIA'S SHARE IN THE

Liberals Declare Preferential Tariffs
Would Prove Injury.

LONDON. July lin the house of
lords last evening the Earl of North
brook LiberaD called attention to the
position Of India in connection with the
subject OF preferential tariffs He ex-
pressed the opinion that preferential
tariffs would be injurious both to Great
Britain and India.
In replying. the secretary OF state for
foreign affairs. the Marquis of Lans-
downe. said that India would come with
in the scope of the inquiry at the gov
ernment's instigation. He admitted that
there Is a marked contrast between the
fiscal schemes of India and the other
colonies.
The former. he said, were purely for
revenue, for which reason India was not
in as good position to give preference 10
her friends or TO retaliate upon those
treating her In an unfriendly manner.
1t was essential that Indian trade
have the most favorable and most un-
restricted outlet possible. The interests
Of Great Britain as a creditor of India
must also be considered.
India has to remit about $50. .0OO. .OOO
yearly on account OF home charges. A
large part of this obligation falls upon
India's export trade, and IL anything is
done to reduce the receipts from ex-
ports ii would diminish India's power
Of buying from Great Britain, which she
now does largely.

RUSSIANS DISAGREE AS
TO KISHINEf PROTEST
Rivalry May Result in 1t Being
Received.

ST. PETERSBURG. July 1.-THE
American Kishinev petition is causing
grave discussion between the Cars two
all-powerful ministers. De Witte and
Plehwe. and the rivalry between them
may result In the petition being receiv-
ed.
De Witte Is extremely friendly to the
United States, and regards any weaken
ing of the good relations as grave err
ror in policy. The Car really knows
nothing of such matters unless they are
brought under his notice by his min
listers, and Plehwe. with the co-opera-
tion of Lamsdorff. is using every means
to suppress the petition.
De Witte regards the growing power OF
Plehwe with misgivings. and they al
ready have had several encounters over
administrative questions.
LONDON. July 1.-THE Standard s.
correspondent at Vienna telegraphs that
the work of the examining magistrates
in connection with the Kishinev mas
sacre is completed. and indictments will
be prepared in few days. The judiciary
and police OF Kishinev are reticent with
regard to the number Of prisoners who

than twelve to fifteen years penal SER
vitude Will be passed on the more guilty

EUROPE UNEASY OVER

LONDON, July lin London, as well
as in all other European capitals, Pope
Leo's illness is the all-absOrbing topic
The interest is made all the keener by
the uncertainty with regard to his sue
cessor
In Pope Leo's long reign he has, by his
mild policy, endeared himself TO Pro-
testant nations. and it is with much
uneasiness that these powers will await
the election of the new Pope in the
event that the illness of Pope Leo XIII
proves fatal. as IL is now thought GER
tain that II will.

of public interest. within the week has

most gorgeous scale. The gala per-
formance Of the opera given at Covent
Garden, in compliance with the COM
mand of the King was probably the
most magnificent affair of the kind ever
given in London.
In the light of the visits that are
being exchanged by the rulers Of the
various European nations just now and
the hearty expressions OF good will that
are being expressed. it would be inter
esting to know just how much of what
is said is of real moment. and how
much should be classed merely as the
proverbial French politeness."
The general opinion here in official
and other circles is that the visits have
really been productive of nothing, unless
some understandings may have been
reached that will affect the several
countries commercially.

Prof. Stieda does not desire 10 deprive
women Of medical study absolutely, but
insists that they must attend lectures
at which no men are present except the

opinions.

''Dr. Joaquin Flaves, who has been
elected president Of the senate. says
that although he is opposed 10 the

the way Of its passage. In the depart
ment OF Bolivar. where two months ago

to the President asking him to favor

1T will be impossible for congress TO

The Liberals Anxious.
If the conservatives are able to force
the treaty through il is probable that
the liberals will try TO effect a revaIua

its hands on the $40. 900 900 in United
