either likely or desirable that they be
made one of our commemorative?
The islands, once known as the Sand
witch Islands, and now as the Hawaiian
Islands, or simply as Hawaii, from the
name of the largest of the group, are
of the greatest interest and Importance.
They are of more value to MS than to
any other country, unless we except
Japan, which now has more of its sub
iects there than there are American
citizens in Nevada. To us they offer
a desirable outpost in the Pacific and
fine distributing point for our eastern
trade, and they supply us with many
valuable products of the soil and mines.
They are interesting, also, from the
point of view of history and of natural
scenery, being one of the most pictur-
esque and beautiful regions of the
earth. 1t would offer us a noble task
to preserve the remnant of this fine
Polynesian race, probably the highest
type of that race, and to help them
to develop both their country and them
selves. Since Captain Cook IS famous
voyages of exploration made the islands
familiar to Europe and America, they
have claimed large share of curiosity
and interest. 1t will be remembered
that Cook called the largest of the
group, after his understanding of the
native sounds, "Owyhee,i a fair APP
Proclamation to the true name.
Hawaii consists of eight islands, ag-
gregating some 5000 to 1000 square
miles, or a little smaller than New
Jersey or Massachusetts, and little
larger than Connecticut. The surface
is, however, largely occupied by noun
tains and restless volcanoes, canyons
and craters. What is cultivable is
productive and favorable to the raising
of fruits and many kinds of crops. The
climate is fine. The population consists
chiefly of Japanese, Chinese and Portu
guese, as. given above, with only about
$1,000 natives, who are rapidly disap-
pearing When Captain Cook visited
the group in 177S he estimated the ma
tive population as 100000, and it was
probably somewhere near that figure.
The only effect our intermeddling in
Hawaii has had so far has been the
determination of this intelligent and
rarely gifted people.
What could we do with Hawaii? It
would be a white elephant upon our
hands. The Asiatic element would give
us untold troubles and would add in
soluble racial problems to the ones we
already have in our own borders. 1t
hardly seems likely that we shall make
the Islands into State, though we
may grant them more and more liberal
terms of citizenship. A detached State
would be an anomaly, and grave
source of annoyance and peril.

Sinking Funds.
The Supreme Court, in the submitted
case of the Oahu Sugar Company VS..
the Bishop Trust Company, for con-
struction of the deed of trust securing
bond issue of Oahu Sugar Company,
has refused to instruct the trustee that
it may invest the sinking fund in the
bonds secured by the trust deed By
inference it advised him not to do so.
Captain Matson Here.
Captain Matson of the Matson Navi-
cation Company arrived by the Lur-
u
terest in his arrival by reason of the
widespread reports of extensions and :
improvements in the shipping facilities
of these Islands through a combination
of the Matson, the Inter-Island, and
other interests. Very didactic denials
have been made of any merger, epmbi-
nation, consolidation or other union of
interests. Nevertheless the belief still
prevails that something Of the kind will
occur. It seems more certain than
ever that the statement in these col
umns last Sunday gave as accurate an
account of what has been done and
what is to be done as the status of
negotiations will admit of at the pres
ent time. Among other things it was
stated then: Apparently the thing is
erystallizing into a result which may
not be, and probably will not be, a
corporate union of the two concerns,
but viii be a partnership arrangement.

properties and enterprises and work

with which it had drawn its verdict.

Hawai- and Statehood
Columbus Is. CO. State.


The visit of James r. Garfield, Sec
rotary of the Interior, to the Hawaiian
Islands, and the remarkable zines
sage he carried to the people there
suggest that an effort is afoot to make
Hawaii a State of the Union. We
have grown almost case-hardened to
the brusque methods of Mr.. Roose-
welt, and barely shiver now when we
see his name in print; but this scheme
to make Hawaii a State out of hand,
without consulting even Mr.. Hartman
or the sugar interests or Captain Hob
son, strikes us as going trife fast
and far. Yet young Mr.. Garfield S
message" can hardly be interpreted
otherwise than as tender of State
hood to the Babel of peoples in Ha-
wall. Here it is, with some PECULIAR
ties of Rooseveltian grammar:
f'The President wishes not only that
Hawaii shall have been annexed lit
has already been annexed to the
United States, but that it shall be in
corporated in and become one of the
United States.
1t is true, however, that Mr.. Roose-
welt has not been very successful in
making or unmaking States. He failed
to bully Arizona and New Mexico into
the Union as single State, and he
failed to keep Oklahoma in the tolls
of his own party when he had it adj
mitted with this prospect. But he

Hawaii. Why's one may venture lit
tie not unnatural curiosity. Is it to
q bag' the $4,000 or $4,000 Japanese
that now practically dominate the Is
lands, and thus prevent them from bag
cling California and the rest of our Pa
cifc httoral? Or is Mr.. Roosevelt after
forming a close alliance with the
10000 Chinese in the Islandss He
may think that the $4,000 Portuguese
in Hawaii would make desirable sub
iects and furnish sufficient Caucasian
yoracity to assimilate, benevolently or
otherwise, the 100000 Asiatics.
Ever since the movement for the an
nexation of Hawaii was begun it has
been the ambition of California to have
the group. of Islands moored to her.
But this would be utterly absurd. The
Californians have gone every length to
GUST the Asiatics within their borders;
why, then, should they be given even
a limited domination over 100000 more
people whom they neither respect nor
know how to treat with decency9 If
the Islands are to come into the Union,
they should, of course, come in by
themselves, and not as part of any
previously organized State. But is it

The very latest figures of the crop
of 1908 make it 517,911 tons. 1t will
not be less than this. 1t may be a
little more The crop year for stats
teal purposes does not end until Sep
TENDER 80, and there are quite num-
Der of mills still grinding. Some others
have finished grinding but have not
made final returns. On September
it was stated in this column that the
crop would prove to be not far from
$4,000. The crop win probably not
quite reach that figure, though it will
not be far from it.
BY agencies the crop is as follows
as nearly as it can be determined at
this time The figures are in each case
those of the agencies themselves and
are made up of the exact figures from
those plantations which have made up
exact figures and of the latest figures
of shipments and agents estimates for
those mills which have not yet finished
grinding or have not made up complete
figures In no ease, it is believed, viii
these figures prove higher than the
final figures of the crop:
