A WASTE OF MONEY.

1t is again proposed despite the con-
trary wish of the Legislature, to ex-
pend about $4,000 in a Hawaiian build
ing at the st. Louis fair. AS no
building was ever kept within it's es-
Inmates, we may infer that the struc-
ture, in the end, would cost not less
than $4,000, leaving $4,000 of the APP
preparation to pay for preparing, trans
porting and caring for the grocery
store, carpenter shop and warehouse
exhibit we should collect. Two thou
sand dollars of this money has already
gone to the school department. A big
structure with little in it would re-
suit, unless the citizens should consent
to donate $4,000 to the building fund,
when we could pile up more bags of
sugar and coffee, more canned goods
and bales of fiber and make the place
look like a fairly well stocked country
store. One can imagine the excite
ment such display would make among
the manifold charms of a Worlds Fair.

we showed a small grocery stock and

NO PLACE TO STAY.

The case of Jones shows how diff
ftcult it is for a homeless and hunted
man to stay in the back country of
Oahu. Various other criminals, includ-
ing the negro Woods, have demon
strated the same fact. To the fugitive
from justice the mountain region looks
inviting; undeniably in its lantana
jungle and it's fern-banked valleys, a
man may hide away from the sharpest
-eye-but concealment is not all he
needs. There must be shelter from the
frequent rains and food to keep body
and soul together. But habtations are
so few in our mountains that one can

ISLAND BEAUTY SPOTS.

The work of the Hawaii Promotion
Committee so far as 1t has progressed
has developed n rather peculiar state
OF facts in at least one respect. In
endeavoring to get together the facts
for a booklet, to be devoted to the
beauty spots of Hawaii, 1t early be-
came evident that there was much to
be desired in the way of information
as to the real places of picturesque
ness.
On the main travelled roads much
has been written about Hawaii; much
that indicates the great beauty of the
drives and scenes has been written
about and pictured but taken at large
II Is fair to say that even more beau
tiful spots are known to but very few
of the local picture hunters. The plan
of the Committee is for the prepara-
ton Of material unlike anything
hitherto printed The well known
scenes, the commonly shown spots
such as the volcano, Haleakala and
the Pail will not be neglected in any
sense, but it is the expectation that
in addition to these there will be
pointed out scores of beauties as yet
unsung.
10 secure the data Tor ms volume
has been found most difficult. The
members of the Committee are men
who have seen much of the islands,
and many suggestion have been made,
but with all they are aware that only
the smallest portion of the truly
beautiful has been made available by
reason of detailed information. For
this reason the Committee is especial
1y DESTROYS that any person who in
travelling about the islands has dis
covered some beautiful corner, will
write out a short description of his
trip and enclose pictures if he has
them, of the most striking points and
send the same to the Committee to
furnish the basis for suitable para
graphs in forthcoming publications.

TIN IMPORTS:

Reports to the Department Of Csss.
nerce and Labor show that the I'm
portauans of pig tin during the past
year We're 6S,OOOOOO pounds as against
S5,OOO,OO0 pounds thirteen years ago.
These figures Of the years importation
of tin, and the growth In the importa-
ton since 1890, are especially interest
ing in view of the recent imposition
of duty on expectations OF tin ore
from the British Colonies of the Ha-
iayan Peninsula. The rapid growth in
the use of tin in the United States,
coupled with the fact that practical
~ none of that article is produced in
thls country, suggested the importa-
ton OF tin in the form of ore, and the
smeltlng of the ore and manufacture of
the pig tin at home. A plant for this
purpose has been erected in the Unit
ed States, and the shiument of ore
from the Malayan Peninsula was about
to begin, when the Department of Com
merce & Labor received word through
the reports of the United States con-
sui at Straits Settlements, that an ex-
port duty of $50 per picul Q33 lbs.)
had been levied on tin ore eNporte l.
the purpose of this export tax
on the ore being to prevent it's expor-

THE NEXT GOVERNOR.

The question of whether or not
Governor should be taken from the
Mainland depends upon the answer u
these questions: Is a Governor VINO
knows nothing about the peculiar con-
ditions of Hawaii and has 1t all to
learn likely to be n better Executive
than one who has lived here long
enough to understand the people ana
their needs? Does experience count
for most in local administration or IN
experience? Is political harmony,
which is the pot of gold on the END
of n rainbow, more to be sought nan
strong, competent and well-inforineu
executive management of things Ha-
waiian?
Long ago the people at Washington
adopted the principle of home rule LOT
Territories and both parties declared
for It in their national platforms what
has happened here to warrant
change from that principle? is the
fact that the least competent and least
honest and most vengefully anu
American class in the community is
dissatisfied with the probable choice Oh
the President for Governor scccee"-
ing Mr.. Dole, excuse enough?

c. w. ASHFORD.

Mr. Ashford is always readable nut
not always well-infOrmed. Home Rule
for Territories is not affected by the
choice of purely Federal incumbents
Such appointees of the President do
not govern the Territory in any sense;
they simply administer United States
law or do United States business in
this part of the Federal domain. These
officials are not supposed to represent
Hawaii but all the States and Ter
ritories put together, and naturally
enough the whole Union has a right to
contribute to the personnel of the force
Under the last Democratic administra-
ton the Federal ofiice-holders of Ari-
iona and New Mexico We're partly resi-
dent and partly nonresident in their
origin; though the Democratic party
pronounced, as the Republican party
had done, for home~rule in home affairs
That is the principle to which the Adj
vertiser referred in the article to which
Mr.. Ashford takes exception.
Hawaii, as a Territory of the Union
has done very fairly in the matter of
Federal patronage. The PostoniCe and
custom House are both in kamaaina
control; the other offices have gone to
nonresident American citizens. But
the executive management of the Ter
ritory remains unchanged 1t is still
in the hands of the people whose per
manent homes are here and we hope 1t
will continue to be.

prices of stocks much was made by the
bull leaders of the report that the Colom-
bian Senate had finally rejected the canal
treaty and that an agreement had been
reached for the passage through the coming
session OF Congress of a comprehensive cur
rency reform measure. The subsequent
news that the Panama canal treaty
sull available for adoption by the Colombian
Legislature and the report that disagree
ments would limit the possible action by the
next session OF Congress on the currency
therefore disappointed the spectators who
had bought stocks on these accounts and
aggravated the reaction. The effect of the
Panama canal news was not due to any
views held on the larger political and COM
mercial bearings OF the project, but to its
probable Immediate effects on the money
and exchange market. 1t was argued that
the defeat of the treaty would relieve a
drain on the foreign exchange market to
provide remittances in payment of the $40,-
Vo.ooo due the Panama Canal Company and
the $lO,OcO,O0 due the Colombian govern
ment under the terms of the treaty and
would leave the Treasury Department with
resources to relieve the money situation.
The erect or the financing of these pay
ments has been an obscure problem in
Wall street, but the opinion has been here
tofore held that they would furnish de-
sirable means for releasing surplus hold
ings from the treasury, which is a recur-
ring difficulty I'm the present state of the
law and would therefore benefit the money
market, although the payments were to
be made to foreign creditors. The foreign
exchange rate has moved decisively away
from the gold import point during the
week, partly on account of protective meas
ures adopted by foreign money markets
and partly owing to selling of stocks here
for foreign account The export movement
OF grain and cotton has not been sufficient
TO Offset these influences. There has been
selling of grains and cotton and the news
OF the crops has been regarded satisfac-
tory with the reservation of the hazard still
due to the lateness of the corn crop and
some continuance of unseasonably low
temperatures In the corn belt.

Importance and significance of the gold
Initiation which is continually going on at
the rate of s250.Ooo,000 to O0.0ooOO0 year
There is no industry in the world in which
there is greater activity than in the min
ing of gold, and the infusion of basic
money i'm the volume of the worlds cur
rency is proceeding increasingly every day,
This, IN the opinion of many hnanciers,
will give all the expansion necessary and
keep full pace with the increase in com
mercial and industrial growth. In view
of this tremendous expansion in basic
money efforts of congresses and conven-
tons TO inject little elasticity in our own
currency seems to many to be trivial and
TO indicate a lack of understanding OF
broad conditions.
A fact which contributes in no small de-
gree to the return of confidence is the flood
of stories of Western and Southern pros
perity. Undenable proof is offered that
the South and West continue to be pros
porous and roll up real wealth. This occa-
sions mild surprise in quarters where the
theory was held that the country would go
to smash because some spectators In Wall
street got their fingers pinched m the
slump in the stock market. The break i'm
prices is now being generally described as
rich mans panic. and in truth the DAM

degree than figured to speculative
