ONE YEAR OLD.

Hawaii hns done better IN the yeps
now drawing to ita close than wis an
ticlpated twclvemonth ago. At that
time the predictions Of four-cent sugar
were not being realized. the price stand
ing, year ago today. a; s.5o Later II
went down to 3.Sig5, that being the
price between the 2sth OF January and
tn, 3fd Of February. The rise as show n
by todays quotations. la been 70 4s5
with nve-cent sugar a near possibility.
The year 1904 has been one Of wide
spread liquidation. necessary phase
of recovery from the fever OF the boom.
This has put matters on a healthier
basis and the times are better Tor H..
Despite bad weather the Christmas
trade this year averaged up with that
OF 1903 when the rainfall was much less
and the buying population had been re-
enforced by 5000 ailors Of a United
States fleet.
A matter of vast future import to
Honolulu occurred about the middle of
the year when the federal goyernmen mt
began 20 choose sites for forts near tho
city. Probably ten or more gun en-
placements will be built and n large
garrison housed. The effect of chang
ing Honolulu into fortress town will
be felt in a marked increase of Its
prosperity.
Another promising sign in the record
OF the closing year was the active work
OF the Promotion Committee and the
spread of interest in diversified farm
ing.
A special cause of thankfulne7s lies
in the breaking up of the Home Rule
party. an organization which might be
described as a wasting disease of the
body polite.
| The year has seen no great fires oil
epidemics, no large failures, no public
disasters of any kind. An exception
might be made as to disasters In re-
spect to the damage wrought in certain
localities by the leaf-hopper; but there
is more profit in being thankful that
the pest did not do more harm ana
that 1t is now coming under control.

RECONCILED TO ANNEXATION.

In a chapter on the Federal Courts.
written as an addendum to the report
of Governor Carter to the Secretary of
the Interior, United States District At
torney Breckons speaks in terms of
nigh praise of the juries that have
served in the Federal Court during the
past year.
Our juries in the FederalO Court. :"
writes Mr.. Breckons, "have been made
up of Americans, native Hawaiians and
naturalized Americans" Then, after
saying that 1t has not seemed to make
any difference how the juries We're con-
stltuted, he continues: During the
year not a single instance OLA Juror
questioning in the slightest degree The
wisdom of any law of the United States
has been encountered, nor of refusing
to assist in the punishment for its vio-
lation because the law was new to him,
or did not meet with his approval. In
short, judging from the action of the
1uries in the Federal Court 1t appea RS
that the people of Hawaii are salts
! fed with annexation"
1t is new premise for the argument
but it is probably sound. Perhaps one
OF the best tests of popular acceptance
/ of governmental conditions is found IN
the Willingness of the people to sec
the existing laws enforced. There /.
no question that there has been a mi
nority in Hawaii, natives and foreign
ers, dissatisfied with annexation. Their,
was larger minority opposed to III,
measure In the beginning. Many, very
many, honest opponents accepted an
neNation in good faith when it became
inevitable. and the small party of NAL
contents who opposed the condition
after 1t had been accomplished ha
steadily decreased. That minority /
so small now that it would not be con
sidered at all We're it not that fate ha
given one or two of il a voice alto
sether out of proportion to its size
numerically speaking. But even thi
voice, rs is shown by Mr.. Breckons'
test. is weakening. In very few year
1t will have vanished forever. For tn
destiny of Hawaii is settled. A voic
that cries against destiny is merely a
echo, growing fainter and fainter in
eNorably untl 1t dies away forever.

DESIGNS OF THE MILK TRUST.

1t is reported, with apparent author
ity, that the Dairymen's Association
will undertake in the next Legislature
to freeze out the small dairymen By
getting the price of the license 20 sell
milk raised to 500. The figure Is nov
merely nominal Since the small farm
agitation began, many city people with
enough land for forage purposes. have
taken to keeping a few mich cows,
selling the product to their neighbors.
Such milk is in demand because, In tho
home dairy the cows, usually of good
grade, get better care and feeding than
those of large dairy. Nor is minor
dairying a mere by-industry. A good
many people of small means, like the
Portuguese, keep cows to pay their en-
tire living expenses; and to them
license fee of 800 would spell ruin.
The last Legislature reflected the
deal to promote and encourage the in
dustries of the soil. A Board of Agri
culture was constituted, the Promotion
Committee was given funds with which
to get settlers and pineapple lands wer'
! exempted from taxation. Had the dair.
industry needed help, the latter would
have been forthcoming. The public de
sire to encourage the habit of agricul
tural self-support is no less now thar
it was two years ago; and nothing the
Legislature could do would make 1
more unpopular with the voters thar
to assist a milk trust in putting 1t!
small competitors out of business.

ESTABLISHING A STANDARD.

From its Washington correspondent
the Portland Oregonian OF December Is
that Senator Mitchell would
leave for home that evening to appear
before the Grand Jury in the land
fraud case. Further, the dispatch says:
1T has been intimated to the Senator
that an attempt will be made to have
the jury indict not only Representative
Hermann but himself, and IL is to testi-
fly in his own behalf that the Senator
will return at this time. Senator Mitch
ell asserts his innocence and declares
in most positive terms that he will
come out unscathed unless perjured evil
dence is brought against him.
THE announcement that the Grand
Jury is to hear evidence against Her.
mann and Mitchell causes no surprise
in Washington, at least so far as Her.
mann is concerned. 1t has been known
for year that Secretary Hitchcock
hoped to bring about Hermann's in
dictment, but this is the first time II
has been opportune to bring matters
to head. 1t was not until today that
Senator Mitchell received an intima-
tion that he was to be brought II
along with Hermann. He promptly
decided to go home and appear in self
defense. He expects by personal ties
timony to establish his innocence ant
to return to Washington before Con
gress reassembles after the holidays.
Taking the Senator'S protestation o
! innocence as sincere. his trial will yet
as did that of Senator Burton in tn
postoffice matter. probably tend to es
/ tablish needed standard of integrity
l with which the national lawmaker
! thenceforth must strictly conform.

The statement % Alexander craw
that Hawaii ought TO raise lie own
oranges. recalls the day when Il aha

Perry place near Honolulu and OF the
windwnid eide 81 oahu fiiled this mar
kct aud were considered a better fruit
than that which California mad TO ex-
pert. Indeed. az great dinners IN san

the oahu oranges. save those grown
on wen-kept private grounds like the
Estates " Mr.. Dillingham; and MIR Ger
rit Wilder. have practically disappear
ed and those Of Kona have lost in
point Of quality.
There are various reasons given for
the decline Of our citrus industry. In
many cases, undoubtedly. orange trees
/ got beyond the productive age-limit
and the orchards were not renewed.
Then with the spread of lantana and
the coming of strange insects, trees got
choked and infected; and no one
knew how to keep them clean and
healthy. Another source OF discour-
agenent to the local orange grower
was the great and cheap importa tion
OF California citrus fruits. Honolulu
jobOers could depend on the foreign
supply; they were not so sure of the
one at home, and so, naturally enough,
the golden apple from the mainland
Hesperides got the right of way in
/ this market.
Nevertheless a good. home grown
orange will always sell here, particu-
larly to the hucksters and the up-to-
date fruit stands. And, as Mr. Craw
/ points out, 1t can be successfully
raised. The old soil and old climate

growth of socialism was pointed
out as one of the great causes
of the spread of the divorce
evil, and the necessity for united
action by all Christian churches in
fighting the hydra-headed monster
was dwelt upon. Some quotations
were given setting forth the per
nicious doctrines of the socialists,
who strike at Christianity and the
sacred institutions of the home and
the family. The attitude of the
Episcopal church on the subject Of
the remarriage of divorced persons
was also explained. Taken all in

dresses on a most vital subject ever
delivered in Brownsville, and was
listened to throughout with mark
