MARKETING HOME PRODUCTS.

At last accounts alligator pears We're
selling in HiIo at the rate of fifteen and
twenty for a quarter. the price here be-
ing four for quarter. a Honolulan,

even at the lowest price, asked a Hilo
producer why he did not ship his sur
plus to this city. He had started TO,
| he said, but the commission men got all
the profits. on some consignments he
received nothing; on others so little
that it was not worth his while to ship
any more. A similar complaint, it may
be said, has come from other growers
and other islands, and as a consequence
Honolulu has missed a chance to eat a
great deal of home -grown fruit and
vegetables, from oranges to celery, get
ting instead the products of California.
Inquiry among the middlemen reveals
the fact that they do not want island
products unless they can be sure of
getting as regular supply as they now
have from the coast. They fear that
the island consignments would be in
termittent. Disposed to take no

town looking for job, leaving his
cleared land to return to lantana. Evil

to market its product; some way that
will assure the grower fair play from
the retailer.

Government. A stall or stalls could be

commission would meet all expenses in ,

waii to keep for itself the greater part |
of the tens of thousands of dollars that

products which we might easily raise |
here. The public will be surprised, if
this scheme Is ever worked out, to see
how much of good fruit and vegeta-
bles will reach the market from the
suburbs of Honolulu to say nothing of
from Hawaii, Maui and
Kauai.

FOUR CENT SUGAR.

Four cent sugar was reached yester-
day, showing how some things come
to those who wait. 1t has been pre-
dicted for two years; at last it has
arrived.
People talk of hard times, yet at four
cents the estimated crop of Hawaii this
year, 400, 900 tons, would bring the enor-
NOUS sum of $32, 600, 900. About half of
the crop, however, has been marketed
at a somewhat lower price, yet the
whole returns should exceed 2,OO0,-
0oe.
While four cents will not be the daily
quotations, the chances are that the
price will linger about there for a good
while to come, the sugar conditions of
the world tending toward a stiff mar
ket.

THE HOME RULERS.

The Home Rule party seems 10 De III
its. last gasp. Aside from Kalauoka-
Iani. who is losing his grip, the con-
yention was run by the weaklings of the
old Wilcox party and by the evicted
boodlers of the Republican organiza-
ton. 1t was Kumalae, Kupihea, Ma
kefsau and Charles Motley gathering,
one hard to discuss seriously, one which
did not seem to have any hope of the
future and which, in the nomination, in
yited the ridicule of it's own member

The late Judge Estee once described
Governor Gage of California as 1.-The
smallest public man in the State except
>. notary public But Charles Motley,
the Home Rule nominee for Delegate
in Congress, would be dignified by such
comparison 1t would bewIlder him to
know what to do to qualify himself for
SO high an Office as notary public.
Considering the reasons why Motley
was dismissed from the Hilo Custom
House, his nomination yesterday by the
convicted Kumalae was peculiarly fit

THE JAPANESE FLEET.

The impression that the Japanese
fleet has been badly weakened rests up
on it's avoidance of the vladivostok
squadron and upon the reputed fact
that junks, with cargoes of food, are
frequently entering Port Arthur. There
are also Russian reports of Japanese
naval losses to consider. Such losses
as have been admitted by Toxic are
not large in number, though they in
clude the Hatsuse, a vessel which rep
resented one-sixth of the naval Jap
anese line of battle. On the other hand
the Russians claim TO have inflicted
damage of nearly fifty per cent and
there are correspondents who agree
with this estimate.
But it is well not to jump at con-
illusions. Since the loss of the Hatsuse
by floating mine, ten miles off shore,
orders may well have been sent to Ad-
miral Togo to keep away from the
vicinity of Port Arthur until the gen.
eral assault by land requires his pres
ence there. Again, the knowledge that
these mines are about is calculated to
keep the Russians in as well as the Jap
anese out, making it unnecessary for
Togo to do blockade work. Still fur
Their. the chance that the Baltic fleet
will start for the Far East, has per-
haps led the Japanese to husband their
naval resources with great care. Now
in regard to the Vladivostok incident,
the raid of Skrydloh's ships was
avowedly made for the purpose of
drawing Togo from the Yellow Sea-or
at least part of his fleet. 1t is always
well not to do what the enemy wants
done, and if it was Togo's judgment
to let the Vladivostok squadron alone
it has been justified by the fact that the
raiders did very small damage.

BACK TO THE BIG MARKET.

The better class of retail buyers In
this city viii be glad to know that bust
ness. on a large scale, is to be resumed
at the Government fishmarket. For
them the change TO the small markets
In PaIarna has been inconvenient ana
to some extent unsafe. Street room is
limited there, few places to tie horses
are provided and there is much trafflc
of all kinds. But these are not the
chief objections. The original plague
district is near by, the surroundings
are squand and uncIean and the mar
kets are SO situated that the dust OF
Chinatow blows into them, settling on
meat. fish and vegetables. Such condi-
tions are SO threatening to health that
people of clean habits feel that they
had rather go without fish and low
priced meat than to buy them there.
; The big market at the foot of Alakea
against the unclean setting of the old
time market at F'ishermen's wharf. 1t IS
a fine structure, enyironed by. grass
Mats to keep dusty streets at dis
fance, cemented, airy and, through its
car connections, within easy reach OF
ali parts of the town. Why the Gov
eminent, which was getting large rev.
enues from it, put the place at the
mercy of private competition, we do not
know: but in view of the early re-
opening of the market, it is not neces-
sary TIC push the inquiry.
The change back, we are glad to say,
promises TO last. The japanese fisher
men, tired of selling through middle
men. have decided to sell for them
selves. They can cheaper the product |
to the buyer and make twice what they
have been getting. AS the Chinese at
4he other markets depend on them, IN /
the main, for their fish-supply, 1t looks /
as if the little brown men had the
whip hand. They control the raw ma
terial-for no one can compete with
them in fshing-and now they have got
hold of the best stands in the best mar
,,ef for the sale of their wares. This
pauer sees no reason why they Should
not get the trade and hold it. AS for
meat housewives who wish to take
advantage of fishmarket prices will
welcome the return of the trade TO
sanitary neighborhood.
