The TROUBLE WITH
SUGAR STOCKS.
BY A. SUMTER.


Editor Advertiser: A good farm, say
in the State of Iowa, of 100 acres, and
is worth with the improvements, and
will readily sell for $500. The gross
value of the yearly product would be
worth $1,000. This would make the
value of the farm, about four times as
much as the value of the yearly product
of the farm. If Through force of cir
cumstances, the farm were for sale, and
only $500 were offered, or two-thirds of
the yearly value of the products of the
farm, what would the Iowa farmer say,
or do? What would he think if he were
subjected to the tyranny of body of
men, who could force him if he needed
money badly to take a paltry $500 for
his fine $500 farm? If instead of one
person, it were whole community, or a
State, that was suffering from these ty-
ranous conditions, what would happen?
Just imagine if you will In like man
ner we have here in Hawaii fine plan
tations, producing some of them, upwards
of a million dollars worth of sugar
yearly. These places are not capitalized
too high, nor do they carry watered
stock. Every dollar that has been put
into them has been wisely expended, by
capable and honest directors and man
ayers, for the upbuilding of the planta-
tions. The money has been well spent
and not wasted and the plantations are
worth every cent thew have cost, which
is the sum of their capitalization, and in
some instances more. These planta-
tions have been working under adverse
such as low priced sugar,
and other causes which have mostly
passed away Now they are producing
fine crops of sugar, which is bringing a
fair price. The heavy expenditures for
machinery have all been made, and there
is now little expense outside OF the gen

THE WRONG MR.. HAGER.
Case of Mistaken Identity Causes
Laughter at Sergeant's Expense.


A case of mistaken identity caused a
laugh at police headquarters last night.
Sergeant Carter was the senior officer on
duty about o clock, when dispatch from
Hager would arrive on the o'clock train.
The sergeant thought the Hager referred
to was the chief of the Louisville police
department. Maj. Sylvester was told of
the anticipated arrival and Sergeant Carter
was directed to have detective meet him
and escort him to the house Of the local
chief. At Major Sylvesters home prepare
lions were made to entertain the Louis
vile official and detectives were hurried
off to the depots. There was nothing seen
of the police chief at either depot and the
detectives returned to headquarters.
Sergeant Carter was unable to understand
what was meant. by the message, but con-
cluded to await developments. The detect
ives were all in front of the building wait
ing for the o'clock roll call when a coupe

fetal, but Chris Hager the former saloon
keeper in Georgetown and South Wash
tngton.

Everybody in front of the building knew
Chris. Hager and appreciated the joke
Chris. failed to see where the Joke came In
and was inclined to complain because he
had not been given cordial reception at
the depot after he had gone to the trouble
and expense of sending the dispatch.

the men on the laborers' roll have difficulty
in supporting their families on the wages
paid them. Under the present system they
receive 81 per day. and statistics were pro-

A committee, consisting of J. B. Nc

Miles, William A. Reinberg, William Steele
and George Good, was appointed to draft a
letter to the President asking him for a

to the President because the public printer
has refused to take cognizance of their
complaints, and because the employees OF
the navy yard. under similar circumstances
obtained what they asked for by going to
