SEA TRANSPORTATION.

The Star objects to the statement
that the transportation difficulty is
spure humbug" so far as Hawai-
ian agricultural products are con-
cerned, yet it does not show that
sugar has any trouble or is likely to
have any trouble in finding an outlet.
Where sugar can go sisal, rubber, to-
baeco, ETC., may follow. With small
isolated shipments a high special rate
is given, here as elsewhere. But when
lar volume of our agricultural produce
would be denied an outlet it assumes
that transportation companies don't
want freight. So far American ship
ping men have met every demand IF
that kind on their own coasts, both
lake and ocean. There, with monop-
oily of the trade between American
ports, they require no subsidy, and are
ruled by the law of supply and demand.
The subsidy question only affects US as
it deals with through lines and with
deep sea sailing vessels.
The special point we make is that
the transportation problem has ever
kept pace with the growth of Hawai-
ian agriculture and promises to do so.
subsidy or no subsidy. There are plenty
of ships ready 20 take our merchan-
disc, some of them tied up. waiting for
IT. And there always viii be plenty
of ships while the monopoly of the
carrying trade between American ports
is enjoyed by American vessels AS
for the deep sea or through steamers,
it is most desirable TO have them kept ,
afioat under the American flag; but
even if they are not no one expects
the coasting trade to suffer by it. And
between here and the mainland of the
United States it is by virtue of the
shipping laws coast all the way.

The high price put upon shipment
of logs by the steamer Enterprise may
be taken as hint that logs are not
wanted in the cargo. Such freight is
never sought by steamers in general
trade. Logs are deck load usually,
and if in a heavy sea they get free of
their lashings they become battering
rams, endangering life and the upper
structure of the ship. The log raft sys-
tenn of the Atlantic and Pacific came
about partly because vessels charged
so heavily for log cargoes. They were
willing enough to take lumber, but they
baked at tree trunks.

has kept quiet of late, holding place in

genus with agents here are also observ-

near approach, we presume, of the

put it's powers to no better use than
to protect the credulous part of our
population-which is very large indeed
from the get-rich-quick schemes
which operate on the beneficiary plan
without intending to share the benef-
cent results with the poor people who
turn in the money. The schemers are
more daring here than anywhere else,
for lack of a suitable law to deal with
them, and because it is easy to hide
their work among the submerged class

The old way of pulling teeth was one
which tried the endurance of the pa
tient to it's limit. In course of CEN
turtles Laughing gas was applied
but its toxic properties and some cases
of heart failure which resulted from
ii brought the anesthetic method into
disfavor. For the same reason the
virtues of cocaine were doubted. Now,
however, the dentists have hit upon a
way to make tooth pulling painless
without menacing the vital powers of
the patient. The method, as described
by Leslie's Weekly, consists of a new
application of that versatile, wonder
full and omnipresent servant and friend
of man, the electric agent. An electric
al current of high frequency is used,
which produces absolute insensibility
of the tooth. The current is applied
to the tooth by means of a guttapercha
cap lined with gold leaf. and in this
way the field of application of the
current is limited to the tooth which
it is desired to extract Perfect anal
gesia is obtained in few minutes, it
is said, and the tooth can be removed
without the patient feeling anything.
The application of the current is easy
and harmless and the method would
seem capable of application to other
operations of minor surgery

A sign that the Car is sensitive to
public opinion at home is seen in the
communication of the sentence of the
murderer of Won Plehve to fourteen
years imprisonment. It was remark
able that the court did not exact the
death penalty and it is equally so that
the Car should consider a life sentence
too much. Evidently the strength of
