It was the night before New Years.
The air was clear and frosty. and the
moon and stars were shining down on
the sparkling now that covered the
prairie, like the cloth on q round din
lag table. Toward midnight, IL you
had peeped from one Of the windows
OF Mr.. Blain's farm house. you would
have seen what would have appeared
to have been a shadow, coming up the
road toward the house. As II came
nearer you would have seen that 1t
vas a little animal about the siss of q
lamb, with great long ears and a bob
tail, and SO white that at q little dis
lance you could not tell 1t from the
snow.
But nobody saw the shadow, for
everyone in the house was asleep, ex-

ject of a mares nest sensation in the

spectacle of Republican officials work

GET STRONG.

To get much benefit or hap
piness out of life one must have
the average degree of strength.
Weak persons always miss the
cream and marrow of what the
world has to offer. And yet
what multitudes are weak! They
would freely give all they have
for strength and vigour yet know
of no way to make the exchange;
such people are easily tired and
fall into low and melancholy
moods: they are apt also to lose
weight. Weakness is commonly
the result of a diseased condi-
tion,-often without pain or any
acute symptoms. The appetite is
poor, the digestion feeble, the
blood pale and wanting in all
the elements of true vitality.
The trouble is with the nerves
and the food system. The
remedy is safe and powerful
tonic, cleanser and rebuilder like

which never fails to make the
weak strong. 1t is palatable as

tive and curative properties Of

Tourists have been got by hard work
for hundreds Of places on the mainland
which do not offer one-tenth as many
attractions as Honolulu. Long usage
has accustomed them to being sought
after and they do not take the trouble
to look up unbeaten paths. Only n
few adventurous spirits do that. The
Advertiser in view of what other pleas
ure and health resorts have done does
not doubt that a campaign for tourists,
IL systematically and perseveringly fol-
lowed up, will be highly productive.

MATTERS OF DETAIL.

There can be no contest between peo-
ple who want small farmers to come
TO Hawaii singly, in groups or any
other way. SO long as they come ana
those who agree with Governor Dole n
the colony idea, providing means are
taken that will bring results. If colo
MES will come, well and good. That
means more producers added to the
white population and they Will be wei
coined. But the Advertiser has reared
that II the Territory waited until farm
communities began moving en- masse'
II would be a long time in peopling its
vacant acres.
The West has been settled UP in the
individual way: Land was surveyed
and then advertised to be opened at a
given time upon such and such terms.
When the time came to pre-empt there
were plenty of people there to take
auarter-sections. The Advertiser holds
that the same methods would be eff
cacious here. 1t is by no means en-
amored of the Island land system as
IL stands. There is too much room in
IL for humbug. Dummy homesteaders
come in to get land for graziers and
Settlement Associations are formed by
men who do not attempt to comply
with the spirit of the law and who are
merely acquiring land for speculation.
Where there is one genuine Settlement
like that at Wahiawa there are five
which are not genuine. What this pa
per wants to see on the upland soil is
the farmer who will work u, There are
plenty of farmers who want TO come.
To get them the available land should
be spread out. There Is plenty of 1t,
grazfers, knockers, California boomers
and confirmed pessimists TO the con-
trary Notwithstanding.
= Where is It? Well, the Land Com
missioner, when he went to Washington
n year or two ago, carried list that
filled nine columns Of newspaper
space, He Is now getting up a pam
-~pblet which will tell the whole story
and experimenting II are the letters OF
men who have made small farming pay.
Much of this land should, however, be
surveyed and mapped and then adver-
tised through the railroads and steam
ship lines. 1t does not do to leave 1t
as 1t is and then expect people to buy.
Hawaii must adopt the general Western
method of getting an agricultural pop
ulation and when 1t does it will pros
per.
Somebody said the other day that
this agitation should have begun thirty
years ago. No doubt. California and
the Northwest lost lots of time but
they are making up for it today and
that is precisely what Hawaii should
do. Nothing can be gained by grieving
over lost opportunities when the chance
exists to make new ones.

1t is a matter of regret to Hawaii
that Senator Morgan should persist in
his opposition to the Panama canal.
Any isthmian canal that will facilitate
commerce between the two oceans is
better than no canal at all, and If a
fight is to come on between the friends
of Panama and Nicaragua it will be
many a long year before a ditch will
be dug. Most people here who have
given the matter thought, prefer the
Nicaraguan to the Panama route, but
everybody agrees that Panama canal
would answer all the commercial uses
which have so strongly recommended
the Nicaragua project in the past.
What the United States wants and
needs is a short cut to the Pacific and
1t is not the most useful patriotism to
stand in the way even If the choice of
the one route over the other was not
free from attendant scandals.
