Now that retainers find they can col
lect wages of the chiefs whom they
have lived on and perfunctorily serv-
ed, the end of this interesting old
feudal custom of Hawaii is, perhaps, in
sight. No doubt the chiefs would be
the gamers by the change. When to
ones own family expense are added
the wage scale of twenty to one hun
dred shiftless hangers on, who claim
prescriptive rights and hardly do
enough work to keep their blood in
circulation, the cost of living becomes
something to appall even patriarchal
prince. Liliuokalani, since her de-
thronement, has been well-nigh eaten
out of house and home by her native
st;pendiaries. If she now finds that
she or her estate must pay them for
the time spent loafing in her yard, she
win be likely to do without a peasant
retinue.

TOPEKA, Jan. 24.-The Rock Island
feels the effect of the low rates made
for California travel in the largely in
creased traffic. The Golden State Linn
tied is proving a great attraction for
the California tourists and the number
of people going to California by this
means has reached unprecedented pro-
portions. Honeseekers also are crowd
ing toward the Pacific Coast States.
Yes and homeseekers might be crowd
ing toward Hawaii if the public lands
were opened up and advertised and an
arrangement made with transportation
lines to carry colonist excursions. Ha-
wall is now like a merchant who has
something for sale that the people
wants but keeps it behind closed doors
and never advertises. He enjoys his
peace and quiet perhaps but the other
fellow gets the trade. He must wake
up if he ever expects to succeed and
the same is true of Hawaii.

Yesterday was fair California wealth
er. sunshiny, cool and crisp. It is the
sort of weather some people in these
islands, those who live in the high
lands of Maui and Hawaii, get very
much of in the course of a year but
never too mucn for health. 1t Is a pity
that our mountain sanitoria are not
easy and cheap of access to the null
titude, but il is more trouble to reach
them and about as costly as to go to
San Francisco. Some day things will
be different but that is poor consolation
to those who can't wait.

Mexico has been peaceful for more
than twenty-five years. That is because
it has military Emperor in the person
of President Diaz. For want of the
strong hand, Central America has be-
come a chronic disturber of the peace
and will probably continue so as long
as the republican form of government
endures. All men may be born free
and equal but they are not born to
self-control and some cannot ever &C
quire that quality. OF these the Lat
in-Indian populations of Central Amer
lea are self-evident types. Their
proper sphere is under regime like
that of Mexico, republican perhaps in
name but sternly imperial in fact.

COTTON FUTURES.

New York. Jan. 3.-The cotton mar
ket opened less active at unchanged
prices to a decline of six points under
liquidation, due to disappointing cables
and indications of larger receipts de-
spite unfavorable weather. A phase
OF the general situation attracting
most attention here is the indication of
continued large absorption of cotton
as eXampled again during the past
week by the increase in the worlds
visible supply of American cotton of
put 10000 bales, which. with the amount
brought into sight would appear to
snow that the worlds spinners took
out of the visible supply about 247, 900
bales. This contrast has led to a steady
investment demand. the total visible
supply of all kinds of cotton having
SHOWN an increase for the seven days
OF the cotton week of $4,000 bales,
against an increase for the correspond
ing week last season of 215,000 bales.
There was, however, active selling for
short account this morning on the
ground that the market, having had
an advance of nearly 1c. should react.
After the opening call the market was
variable and rather weaker for time,
and then returned to about the closing
hgures of the previous day, on demand
from outside sources.
The market for futures closed bare

New York, Jan. 3.-Less snap was
shown in the early cotton market.
Liverpool was rather disappointing to
the local bulls, who expect values to
move always in one direction, but the
more cautious element were by no
means discouraged by the absence of
more satisfactory cables than l point
advance and confidence in a higher
market appears to be, as a rule, ex-
tending to circles where much opposi-
ton has been displayed so far. The
Dad weather in the South is made
much of just now, but the fact re-
mains that the pleasant spell also
failed to bring out cotton. The recent
rise should surely swell receipts if it
IS possible to do so, but the best in
formed people see no probability of
receipts assuming anything more than
moderate proportions although compar-
isons with rather moderate figures for
last year which will occur two weeks
hence may again lead to restoration
of bear confidence, but for brief spell
only. Port receipts to-day indicated
around $4,000, against $4,000 last year.

count was a feature and on a scarcity

S.76 at II a. m. Liverpool did not re-
spond to the improvement here yester-
day, being affected by heavy selling
for the account of Egyptian operators
who are taking profits on the ad-
vance. The movement shows an in
crease at the semi-weekly towns for
to-day which may point to a continued
increase or be only the cotton which
has been blocked up over the holidays.
Receipts at the ports are also heavier
showing the result of the buying for
the past fortnight. The sentiment
here is very bullish, based on the sta
