SCATTERING STRENGTH.

Twenty-four days Of the extra ses'
sion for the consideration Of appropri-
atfons for the coming two years have
passed. and It would not trouble any
one to enumerate the transactions of
the legislature. Three bills for the ex-
penses Of this and the last session. a
measure which was submitted nearly
80 days before its passage to meet
emergencies. an unpaid bills measure
which went through loaded down with
claims. some submitted UP to the very
last day of consideration, and the six
months current account bill passed
through both houses and to be taken
into conference this day is the total.
There remain to be considered IN
the twenty-four days the more impor-
tant measures, though the House has
two so well advanced that they may
be passed within fOrty-eight hours.
These are the six months salary bill
and the Loan Act, making disposition
of s2.22s. 900. They are completed in
part and need only some slight reports
by minor committees to be pushed "a
long. The Senate has passed up to
the House tine eighteen months cur
rent and the salary bills as well, and
now awaits action by the popular
body. 1t would appear on the face
that the speedy end of the work of the
two houses was we'll nigh in sight.
Without attempting to condone any
of the faults of the legislature, and it
would be a long list, it is safe to say
that the lower House has given a dis
play OF shotgun policy. 1t has scat
tered to the four winds. An innocent
little appropriation for the pay Of a
pound keeper, for instance, might
readily call forth three hours debate
on the land policy of the government. |
A proposal to recrganize the dock sys-
tenn brought from one member the as
States government owned the docks !
and wharves, and was under obligation
to build new ones for the Territory.
Taken as a whole the majority of the
orators Of the lower House are not
men who talk straight to the point,
get through and quit. They like to
embroider their sentences and repeat
heir points at length. They are not
life huntsmen, they prefer the scat
ering shotgun. In consequence per-
maps they have gone after the small
same OF a few dollars saving by cut I
ing down a salary here and there, I
md have undertaken none of the big I
,ame. like the reorganization of the S
'evenue system or the governmental 7
machinery.

WORK NOT TALK.

The lower house of the legislature
deserves credit for the work it did in
the regular session, and for what it
has accomplished during extra ses-
sion but the people are beginning to
get tired of its present banderlog per-
formances. The needed work is clear
ly cut out before it, and ready at
hand, but an unfortunate disposition
has arisen to go outside of the needed
work, to fight windmills. 1t is time
now that this foolishness should stop,
and that the House should set to work,
finish it's labors and adjourn.-Maui

OUR TRADE WITH CANADA.

Canadian import figures indicate that
the United States are popular with the
people of Canada. The statistical
statement of Canadian commerce, just
received by the Treasury Bureau of
Statistics, covering the commerce of
the seven months ending with jan
uary, 1903, shows that Canada imported
from the United States during that
time sixty-seven million dollars worth
OF merchandise, against thirty-two
million dollars worth from the United
Kingdom and twenty-one million dol
lars worth from all other parts of the
world In other words, the United
States supplied ffty-six per cent of the
imports of Canada in the seven months
ending with January last, the United
Kingdom supplied twenty-seven per
cent, and the remaining portions of the
world, seventeen per cent.
This large importation from the
United States by Canada is especially
Canadian tariff permits the introduce
tion OF products from the United King
dom on payment of only two-thirds
the duty which goods from other parts
of the world, including the United
States, must pay. This reduction in
tariff on goods from the United King
dom as against goods from other parts
of the world was begun some four
years ago and the reduction on British
goods increased until it reached thirty
three and one-third per cent. Yet, in
spite of this fact, the United States
supplies to Canada twice as much mer-
chandise as does the United Kingdom.
In large proportion of articles or
classes of articles imported into
Canada, the United States supplies a
larger share than does the United
Kingdom. In a list of thirty-six prin-
cipal importations into Canada. TWEEN
ty-six show larger importations from
the United States than from the United
Kingdom, and ten show larger impor-
tations from the United Kingdom than
from the United States. The ten arti-
cles in which the United Kingdom sup
plies a larger share of the Canadian
imports than does the United States
are: cotton manufactures, flax and
hemp manufactures. silk manufactures.
wool manufactures, tin and znanufac-
lures thereof, earthen and china-ware.
spirits and wines, tea, wool and fancy
articles"
OF the articles of which the United
States furnishes a larger supply than
does the United Kingdom, the principal
ones are: manufactures of iron and
steel. wood and its manufactures. coal
and coke. breadstuns. chemicals. fruits.
provisions. live animals. tobacco and
its manufactures. paper and its manu-
features, and electrical apparatus.
