HILo,S SECOND RAILROAD.

What will be the future of the HiIo
Electric Railroad franchise may be a
question but it seems certain that be-
fore many months elapse work will be
commenced upon the construction of a
rapid transit line along the HiIo and
Hamakua coasts.
The Kohala and Hilo line appears to
be In a progressive stage according to
what Mr.. Philip Peck told his towns
people when he returned last week, but
ne said as wen that franchise to the
electric line would cause his with
drawaI from the other plan as there
was no field for the two roads. The
fact remains however that the neces-
sity for a line north from Hilo exists
and that the pioneer In the field will
beyond question reap a rich harvest.
One feature which must not be over
looked in this prospective development
OF the coast country once quick and
cheap communication is established.
Along the gulches where the sugar
fields do not extend to the bottom of
the arabic areas, bananas and Manila
hemp would grow luxuriantly and the
crop would pay wen in either case.
The agricultural possibilities are
many. and now that the people are be-.
ginning to realize that small farming
does not mean truck gardening. the
many productive acres which lie I'M
touched at the feet of every investi-
gator may be utilized and new sources
OF competence opened to the small
capitalist.

DANGER FROM CANE DISEASE.

The imminent danger from diseases
of plants. is illustrated by the state
ment of Director Eckart, indicating
that the fatal Sereh, which is doing
so much damage in Java, was brought
to Hawaii three years ago, in cane
from Fiji As it developed in plat of
ground which was isolated at the Ex-
pertinent Station. as soon as it was
found the cane was entirely destroyed
and the disease stamped out.
No better Illustration of the great
danger to agriculture from the impor-
tation of plants could be had. There is
no more careful scrutiny of plants pos
sible than that given to the samples of
cane brought here before they are Civ
en- chance to get into the fields of
the Territory. And yet the disease.
which of all others is counted deadly,
did get in and was stamped out be-
cause it was localized, and had no op-
portunity to spread.
The Importance of stringent quar-
Antine law cannot be overestimated
and the energies of the Agriculture
Committee of the House, to which the
problem is now passed up, will be well
employed in framing a law which will
give to agriculture, the single industry
of the Territory. fun protection.

COUNTY BILL WILL BE PUSHED.

week. From 1880 o'clock until 1880 the
argument will go on, and rapid prog
ress should be made in the three clear
hours
What the House will do is a cues
ton. That it will get to work is GER
tain, but that labor will be lost is just
as true in the opinion of certain mem
bers of both Houses. The belief is held
that three readings must be given one
or the other of the bills in each house.
The opinion of some lower house mem
bers that a conference committee can
take the two bills and whip them into
shape and have the two houses agree
to the resultant compromise measure is
house members who insist that three
readings must be given the bill after
it passes one house by the other and
the differences will serve as basis for
the. conferees.
Suggestions of compromises are al
ready in the air and on one OF these
may depend speedy action. The friends
of the Keliinoi county school control
and the Long city and county bills. are
anxiously pressing those matters as
amendments to the County law 1t has
been represented to them that to make
the changes in the County bill now
would mean a vast deal of work as
changes would have to be made all
through the measure. However if those
bills went through as supplemental
measures there would be necessary only
construction of the points at variance
and in case of differences of opinion
the courts could readily settle them.
II these representations are received
with favor the County law will be in
the hands of the Governor within ten
days. If the two matters are pressed
it may take a longer time for con-
ferences.
There are many matters which will
be given attention in the regular course
and both bodies promise to do some
hard work right along now

M'GREGOR'S LAND
ING BEING BOOMED

The question of abandoning the
wharf at Maalaea Bay. Maui. and
building a new wharf at McGregor's
Landing is under consideration, and
there is no debut but McGregors Land
ing is, for many reasons, far preferable
to Maalaea Bay as landing point for
passengers and freight, says the Maui
News. The News says that McGreg-
or's Bay. in point of time consumed.
is nearer Waikiki than Maalaea Bay.
1t is a fifteen minutes drive from Nc
Gregor's Landing to the Maalaea
wharf, but the steamers will reach the
landing is minutes earlier. The News
points out that Maalea Bay is exposed
to the full force of the. wind, which
interferes with row boats making trips
between steamers and the shore land
ings. Captain Parker of the CIaudine,
is authority for the statement that
there is 4S feet of water within 100 feet
of the shore at McGregor's Landing
1T is stated that the steamship COM
panies will erect comfortable waiting
rooms at McGregor's Landing if the
government will put a wharf there, the
cost Of which is estimated at 81, 900.

MINERS ON TRIAL.

John Mitchell, head of the Miners
Union, considers the report of the Pres
dental Commission to inquire into the
strike of Anthracite coal employees a
victory for the workers and it is fair
TO presume will try and handle his
followers along those lines, but it is
scarcely necessary to add he Will find
that many of the miners locals viii not
accept mis- view of the situation.
The ten per cent increase of wages
and the reduction of hours are distinct
gains. These two have to do with the
material side of the questions at issue
and the miners are to be congratulated
They were underpaid. In fact a great
err increase would not have given them
more than their share of the profits
from the mining of coal, for the opera
tors and railroad companies have
grown fat upon the profits of the trade.
But there is a provision that the
award shall stand until 1906 and that
the scale shall be decided by arbitra-
ton. This is followed by the clause
setting forth that neither operator nor
union shall discriminate against
workman on account of afhliation or
decentralization with the miners or
ganization. The prophet is an unwel-
come parsonage. but it would be an
entirely safe prediction that this can
not last. No one who has followed the
blood feud between union and nom
union men, especially miners, viii be-
lieve that the Lion and the Lamb will
lie down together yet. A union miner
has no conception Of law when dealing |
with a non-union man. He becomes an |
avenger. an injury is but the just
deserts of the "scab" and the infiicting !
miner is praised for his work. For this |
reason it seems impossible that twenty |
years war should close with fiat and |
all be peace. Then again the labor
unions cannot be bound to keep to the
terms of the contract and after being
the recipients of the benefits of the
awards for period may at any day go
on strike again.
The proving of the Miners Union has
come II tne leaders can hOIQ the men
together then there will besno difficulty
in that organization taking place along
side the Locomotive Engineers and
other organizations which do not have
to go on strike. for their good faith has
been proven and they are dealt with
by the railroads as responsible corpora
lions. 1t will be a source of pleasure to
all thinking men if the miners will
prove themselves capable of holding the
high place they have been given by
he commission. as bodies to be treated
With on the same plane as all other
Their field for good is
vide. but their constant strikes of the
'ast have not indicated capacity to
govern themselves.

POSSIBILITIES OF HEMP.

The possibilities of diversified agri
culture in Hawaii widen as thu
thoughts of practical men are turned
toward development, and not the leas
valuable suggestion yet made has to dc
with an industry which would afford
valuable use for untitled or abandoned
acres and employment in time fol
many Americans.
Manila hemp is standard product
the world over and the rope walks
about the Philippine capital are extern
sive. Yet one who has seen the Ma
Mia hemp plant growing here is COM
PEELED to admit that it promises, from
size and luxuriance, just as good fibre
as is obtained in the Oriental archi-
pelago. The plant is growing in many
gardens in this city and it fiourishes
wherever it is watered, for it is a
thirsty thing.
Bananas are reported as doing finely
as to plants but poorly as to fruit in
some of the wet belts of the higher
mountain sides. This would suggest at
once that the hemp would grow there
finely and that in time there might be
secured such an acreage that it would
be profitable to manufacture the cables
and lines from it right here.

The participation of Hawaii rests in
a general sense with the Legislators,
for certainly the adequate representa-
ton OF the Territory cannot be lef, to
private citizens, and it is too late to
ask Congress to step in and make the
appropriation necessary. The first thing
is to decide what shall be undertaken

the cost Of building. Of exhibits, trans

The manner in which shyness shows
itself differs greatly in different people.
Sometimes it is caused by inexperience
and the want of self confidence that
comes from knowing little or nothing
of the ways and customs of society,
and sometimes. too, it arises from self
consciousness and is simply vanity un-
der another name and in a different
guise. 1t may sound harsh to say that
the shyness of many people is caused
by their conceit, but it is fact all the
same. They are always thinking Of
themselves, wondering if they are max

best. They imagine that every one IL

OhiO's Greatest Convention.
[To BE Continued

The greatest religious gathering
annually held in Ohio, is said to be
the State Sunday School Conven-
tion, to be held next week in the city
of Portsmouth. The convention will
begin on Tuesday and continue on
Wednesday and Thursday with three
sessions a day. The primary work
ers will have a session on Wednesday
afternoon and two separate sessions
on Thursday morning and afternoon.
The following noted world-awake
specialists in Sunday school work
have been engaged to speak at the
convention: Mr.. w. G. Pearce, of
Chicago; Mrs. Mary Foster Bryner,
Peoria, ILL.,: Mr.. B. w. Spillman, of
Raleigh, n. c.: Miss Mamie Lee Fray
ser, of Louisville, KY, and Mr.. Marion
Lawrance, international General
Secretary. The music is to be in
charge of Professors Z. G. Excel and
Charles Gabriel, of Chicago. The pro-
gram is without doubt the strongest
ever presented to an Ohio Sunday
school convention. Any person car
take advantage OF the reduced rail
road rates, one fare for the round
trip, from all points in Ohio. Ports
mouth offers entertainment only
to delegates who are dull,
elected and present proper creden
tials. For further particulars ad

retary, Columbus, Ohio.
