call issued by number of National

WINE GROWING IN HAWAII.

Hawaii is the only country, produc-
ing a fine quality of grapes, which de-
prives itself by law of the opportunity
to turn them into wine. A gentleman
living on the outskirts of town, has an
ample vineyard which he thinks of
giving up, for all he can get for his
product from the retailers is 81 for
sixteen pounds, a figure which does
not pay for his trouble. Portuguese
come to him and say that they would
take the grapes and make wine of them
on shares, promising as good product
as that of Portugal or Spain. But
there stands a stubborn blue law
across the path. 1t is the only obstacle,
for there is none of soil, pests or
climate. Fine clarets and ports,
madeiras and sauternes and even or
binary champagnes are quite as prac-
ticable here as they are in any grape
country. So why not enable ourselves
to. turn our grapes into these profita-
BILE wares and build up a staple indus
try worth a great annual income TO
the Territory and capable of sustain
ing the Portuguese who now want to
get away. as well as many others be-
sides? There is nothing for US in
raisins for they cannot. owing to fire.
/ quent showers, be safely left out to
dry in the sun. The local demand for
fresh grapes, good as it is, has been
exceeded by the present yield. To at
tempt the expectation of grapes to the
coast would be like sending Goals to
Newcastle; but Hawaii could send
wine there in fun confidence that it
would sell on its merits even in Cali
fornia. Good wine from over the sea
never lacks for buyers.
The rest of the United states is in
the wine business on large scale.
Lass year the mainland produced 81
6S1-154 gallons, a very handsome weld
indeed. Southern Europe, Germany
and Austria-Hungary distilled rivers
OF grape juice and made millions of
dollars in the process. A good biz of
money came from here. for Hawaii
consumes large supply of both for
eign and domestic vintages, the like of

Why THERE ARE LYNcnINGs.

The prevalence of lynching in the
United states is due to a breakdown OF
the criminal laws of the country, and
there is reason to wonder, not that 50
many Iynchfngs occur but that so few
criminals are punished by mobs. The
laws against murder are inefficient
The annual slaughter in this country
has reached fearful proportions. Over
10000 persons are killed each year by
their fellow men, yet the legal hang
ines are rare. The. average of such
hangings in the United States to the
total number of homicides is fourteen
10 the thousand. Who can wonder at
Iynchings after that? When the law
abandons it's function of protecting So
ciety from the criminal it is quite to
be expected that men will take up the
work the courts refuse to perform.
The enormous growth of murder in
this country is undoubtedly due to the
inefIiciency of the law and the courts.
Where only about one murderer in
hundred is hanged and acquittal or
brief Imprisonment is the lot of nine
out of ten of those who are tried, the
law has no terrors to those who wish
to kill The policy that was adopted
in mercy to save the lives of possibly
innocent persons has turned to the
most bloodthirsty cruelty. Judging by
England and Germany and other coun-
tries in which murderers are punished
promptly and severely some $500 out of
the 10000 annual murders in the United
States would never have been COM
Initted had the same procedure been |
follower in this country as in other |
civilized nations.
The main cause of the breakdown OF |
the criminal law of the United States :
lies in the privilege of appeals in Grim
inal trials. This privilege, which is an
innovation of American lawmakers,
has resulted in loading down the
original simplicity of the criminal law
with a vast body of technical interpre-
tatfon that prevents the trial court
from selecting a good jury, from pre-
senting the truth to that jury and from
promptly carrying out the verdict
should one be found against the ac-
cused. The remedy is to be found in
to the simple methods that
made our criminal law effective in the
early days of the republic and that
now form so efficient a deterrent to
the criminal classes of Great Britain
and her colonies.

A RESPONSE IN KIND.

The Canadian Pacific Company has
done better by Honolulu in'the matter
of steamship rates than any of the
companies that have enjoyed for years
the especial favor of our merchants
and travellers. With the least obHga-
ton to this city the Canadian Pacific
is the first to respond to its appeals
for a lower rate of ocean passage. The
rate it makes is one that Honolulu has
contended for with the San Francisco
lines in vain. Instead of the latter
coming down in price they went up
and the difference between them and
the All Red line for a round trip Is
that between s135 and 500.
1t is not enough to pass this matter
with a word of thanks and mutua.
congratulation. A quid pro quo is in
order. The Canadian Pacific should
have as much help ir return as the
city and Territory can afford. In
common fairness our travelling public
should give the Cana dian Pacific some
comfortable, the railway one of the
safest in the world. passing through
the most majestic scenery on the con-
tinent; the American connections are
numerous; the cost is less, not only
by sea but across the country. Nor
need an alien tariff be feared. Gus
toms examination is a mere form for
those travelling with ordinary baggage.
Honolulans may. with good grace, urge
their friends to come here by the
Canadian route and they ought, in
common gratitude to give that line an
occasional lift themselves. One could
wish. in this connection. that our peo-
pie knew more about the delights of
going to Vancouver or Victoria or to
the Canadian Rockies for a summer
change.

the COURSE OF THE WAR.

There is the promise Of some crucial
battIes-or at least of one such grappIe
of giant forces-in northern Liaotong.
Kuropatkin has turned at last. He
proposes. with a greatly augmented
| force, TO march south TO the relief Of
Port Arthur In the way is the hither-
| to victorious army of Marshal Oyama,
which the Russians estimate to be a
| quarter of a million strong and which
is subject to an almost indehnate re-
enforcement from its home base, about
600 miles away-an army which. on the
| defensive. ought TO be twice as effec-
tive as it has been on the offensive.
Kuroki first and then Oyama made
every preparation for a safe retreat TO
the sea. The railroad has been re-
paired for he~transportatfon one way
of supplies and the other way of
wounded and sick. Every important
pass which the japanese took on their
northern march has been fortified as
have several of the important towns.
In this work the Chinese have helped.
Not long ago it was reported that 30o,-
600 Chinese were engaged upon Japa-
nese entertainments and while the
story is plainly an exaggeration as to |
numbers there is no doubt that the |
Japanese have employed all the Chi /
nese labor they could use. They did |
so in 1885 at cost of about twenty /
five cents a day per capita. If the /
Russians succeed in pushing Oyama
southwark at all they will soon con-
front THE first OF many lines of en-
trenchments, mounted with both heavy
and light guns and capable of a pro-
Ionged resistance. Assuredly they will
need far more offensive dash than they
have ever shown heretofore. to enable {
them to push their way towards Port
Arthur. And all the time they run the
risk of having the tables turned on
them by superior forces.
One may look for another naval
dash upon japanese lines of commune
cation providing the Russians have
their VIadfvostok cruisers in repair.
Under this, head there is conflicting
news. One report puts the entire

EGGS THROWN AT
FLORISSANT MAYOR
Citizens Aroused Over Fowl
Insult to Chief Executive,
Whose Bald Spot Was
Missed.

Mayor Leon De Lisle OF F'lorissant was
rotten eEgcd'' while on his way home
last Saturday nigh: from meeting of the
Beard OF Aldermen. The citizens OF that
quaint. historic town have been wroth
ever since over the fowl insult to their
chief executive.
The Mayor was carrying a lantern-the
only means o. illumination used in Floris-
SAINT since the lighting contractor went out
OF business-and w3s walking along the
foot of high embankment when someone
nurled the eggs at him from a Cliff.
His Honor was carrying his hat. as well
as the lantern, but the egg missed the
bald spot and landed on his arm. where il
broke.
Returning to the Town Hall. the Mayor
reported the incident. In few minutes
the whole constabulary of F'lorissant was
securing the town.
Only one arrest was made. A youth OF
the suburbs was taken into custody by
Constable John Mueller but he proved an
alibi and was released. A movement Is
afoot to call an Indignation meeting and
offer large reward for information lead
ing TO the arrest ard conviction OF the per.
petrators of the deed.
