TROPICAL PRODUCTS.

The taste OF the people OF the United
States for tropical products seems TO
be increasing at very RAPID rate
The Department of Commerce and La
Dor, through its Bureau of Statistics,
reports the value of the tropical ana
subtropical products brought into the
United States In the past year as over
400 million dollars. In 1895 the value
of this class of merchandise imported
was only 300 million dollars; in lSN'
200 millions, and in 1870, l4O millions.
Thus the value of the tropical pro-
ducts brought into the country in the
year just ended was about three times
as much as in 1870, twice as much as
in 1915, and one-t third more than In
1895.
Even these figures do not show the
real increase, because Of the great re-
duction in prices Of many of the arti-
Giles forming this huge total. The val
ne of the sugar of tropical production
brought into the country in the past
year, for instance, was lO4 million doi-
lars, as against 20 million dollars in
1870: but the number of pounds brought
in from the Tropics last year was
more than four times as much as in
1870. The total number of pounds OF
tropical sugar brought into the coun-
try last year was over 5 billions in
Guiding that from Hawaii and Porto
Rico, while, the number of pounds I'M
ported from the Tropics in 1870 was
less than a billion and a quarter
The value of the coffee brought in
last year was o0 million dollars, as
Ia Va
quantity last year was 1923 million
pounds, as against 235 million pounds
in 1870
The one-half million pounds OF SILK
brought in in 1870 was valued at three
million dollars, while the 10 million
pounds brought in last year were val
ued at about so million dollars.
The AZ million pounds of rice
brought in in 1870 was valued at one
million dollars, while four times that
quantity brought in last year was
valued at three million dollars.
The AZ million pounds of tea brought
in in 1870 was valued at nearly IA mil
lion dollars, while the los million
pounds brought in last year was valued
at less than 16 millions.
The average cost per pound of the
sugar brought into the country in
1870 was about five cents, while the
average cost last year including That
brought from Hawaii and Porto Rico,
was about two cents per pound. In
India rubber, however, conditions are
reversed, the average cost per pound
of the ten million pounds brought in IN
1870 being about SO cents per pound,
while that of the So million pounds
brought in last year was over 90 cents
per pound.
The tropical islands of the United
States contributed nearly 90 million
dollars worth of the 400 million dol
lars value of tropical products brought
into the country last year. over 70
million dollars of this was from Ha-
wall. more than II million dollars
worth from Porto Rico, and more than
II million dollars worth from the
Philippines. In 1896 they contributed
10 Hfllion dollars worth to the trop-
zeal requirements of the country

THURSDAYS DECISION.

The concurrence OF Judge Robinson
in the Gear Jail delivery decision and
the fact that Judge De Bolt may take
the same view, removes the matter
from a debate of motive to one of law.
1t Is held that our penal statutes are
SO much in conflict with the organic
law of the United States, that they
do not permit the Imprisonment at
hard labor of even a common drunk
without a previous indictment by the
grand jury. The decision makes q
large number of past sentences void
and unless such prisoners as are now
illegally held in oahu prison are re-
arrested on their release and indicted
by the grand jury now sitting, there
will be an emptying into the COM
munity from the jails Of a large and
in many respects an intractable class
of offenders an act which would COM
pei Honolulu to keep special watch
and ward over it's portable property
Lawyers, some of them eminent do
not agree with the Gear Robinson de-
cision and others, men of equal ability,
do. In such cases the laity finds 1t
best to stand afar off and await such
action as the higher courts or the
Legislature may take. 1t is said that
the real remedy is Legislative; that
it Is the DUTY Of the Governor to call
the Legislature into extra session and
thus set in motion the agencies of
bringing the Territorial and constitu-
tional law into agreement. No citi-
zen wants to see the Legislature re-
assembled. hut of the two evils, as
Stunning the Gear-Robinson decision to
be sound, that is assuredly the least.

The platform of the Home Rule par
ty, which was put forward last night,
contains this plank:
an the name of the Hawaiian people

and condemn the raising of race is
sues"
This authenticity and finally places
any blame that there may have been
for the drawing of the color line just
where it belongs. The Advertiser
crowd was first, foremost and alone
in that business. Misrepresentation
in regard to the matter, which We're
sent abroad for political effect, also
emanated from that source. Although
a little late it is we'll that the truth
has been shown up.-Independent.
What rot! The issue was made by
natives in the Legislature when they
refused to pass a salary item for the
Commissioner of immigration on the
plainly-stated ground that they want
ed no white men here. 1t has been
revived by the action of the present
Home Rule convention in naming a
ticket with but one man on it who
has no native blood. And he was
named for County Attorney because
there wasn't an Hawaiian lawyer
available. Everybody knows that
while the white men put plenty of ma
tives on their tickets the natives never
nominate white men if they can get
anybody else. That means a color
lfne-but the whites are not to blame
for it,
