The cob: of the Filpinos has pro gressed through various stages which seem to make pertinent the statement of Governor Taft, that their condition will becouic worse before it is better. From the ques tion of acquisition we have nassed to that of organization, and from the latter to that of relief. Six years of war in the islands have been fol lowed by calamities which have nearly prostrated the industries, brought the people there to the verge of starvation. Reports tell of the rinderpest scourge, which, at tacking the carabao, has practical ly removed the only dependence of the agriculturist for tilling and transportation. The loss of the cattle has brought about a failure of the rice crops the prime food product of the Philippines and famine threatens. Capital is slow about embarking in Philippine in dustries, and commerce is not at all satisfactory. The last annual re port showed that, exclusive of quartermasters' stores, the imports amounted to $41,000,000, while the exports were only $27,000,000. The extreme xlrop in the price of silver has caused stagnation in com mercial circles, and suffering for the pDor, who, with the earnings of a depreciated1 currency, can not buy the necessaries of life. Hunger means desperation, and threatens a widespread recrudescence of ladron ism, which is another term for brig andage. In fact, cattle-stealing is prevalent to such an extent in some ot the provinces that Governor Taft reluctantly contemplates the necessity of calling out the military to suppress it. As if this was not sufficient burden for a people grop ing toward civilization, cholera is abroad in the archipelago. To the first of November more than 100,000 had been reported, of which two- thirds had terminated fatally. When the transport Thomas left there last, thirty new cases a day was the average for Manila alone, Consider ing the character of the people, and and their aversion to modern meth ods of treatment in disease, it is likely that these figures do not re veal the extent of havoc caused by the plague. Smallpox, bubonic pla gue, and leprosy have also been re markably active in the islands dur ing the last year. What is to be done is a matter for Congress, and that body has trouble to agree on all measures which have been pro posed. Following Governor Taft's annual report, the administration called on Congress for a relief fund of $3,000,000, and we believe that now an appropriation of $2,300,000, has passed both Houses. Currency measures for relief, which Governor Taft considered extremely pressing, hang fire. The House bill extend ing the American system of coinage to the islands has been passed, but is not favored by the Senate, it being feared that too violent a change in monetary conditions would do more harm than good. So, also, the proposition to remit 75 per cent ol Dingley tariff rates on imports from the Philippines is being delayed, though t had the warm approval of Governor Taft Argonaut. ItAI'll.

A breeze was caused just before adjourn ment by the resolution introduced by Representative Keliinoi, which was referred to a committee con sisting oi Representatives Keliinoi, Jaeger and Purely. The resolution reads as follows: Whereas, the Rapid Transit and Land Company made and entered into a legal agreement with the Government of the Territory of Hawaii, agreeing to give to the Government one-half of their prof its over and above 8 per cent on the capital of the company, which was then $500,000; and, whereas, it is understood the said company has since watered its stock to the extent of $500,000 and, in addition to this it is lurther said that the company is placing a large amount of their frofits in a construction fund in which the Government has no interest or account: therefore. be it Resolved, That a committee of three be appointed by the Speaker to investigate the agreement, books and accounts of said company ,ind to ascertain the amounts of money that should revert to the Govern ment under the aforesaid agreement.

Edmuudsv who lately arrived from the Orient says that negotiations are under way between himself and the owners of the Ka malo Sugar Company property by which the 11,000 acres of that esta.te are to become the property of a corporation which will divide it up into suitable sized sma'l farms and induce American farmers to come and settle on ir. The coroo- ration will carry those who have not capital enough to carry them selves over the preliminary period of planting. The security to the company for the advances made, will be labor to be performed by the colonists for the corporation on lands it will plant. Another feature of the plans proposed is that the cor poration will sell small farms on the instalment plan, planting and cultivating them for the purchasers, under the latter's direction. t Pure Bone Fertilizers Pure Bone Meal Complete Fertilizers of All Kinds Nitrate of Soda Sulphate of Ammonia Sulphate of Potash Fish Guano, Wool Dust, Etc.

What is said to be the most remarkable cut in retail box prices of imported Havana cigars ever made in this city was made today. The man who smokes cigars has never had, in recent years, such a chance to get good cigars cheap as he will have now. Some retail dealers who have been fightintr the United Citrar Stores Company here, said it was to help the independents. Others thought the cut was made to knock out the independents. The cut was made by the Acker, Merrill & Condit Company, who advertised some of the best brands of cigars at prices that astonished the retail cigar men and jobbers. The cuts range from- $1.20 to $3.40 a hundred cigars below the prices even of the independents. In every instance but one, the new prices quoted are lower than even the jobbers' prices currently re ported in the trade. Strom? Words For Scandinavian Unity. Christiania. March 8. Hen- rik Ibsen, the famous Norwegian poet and dramatist, in au interview on the subiect of Scandinavian unity, says that it is absolutely necessary that small nations should remember that under the law of evolution they are certain to be welded into larger ones. The only choice offered to' smaller nations is that they should unite of their own free will, or be forcibly united by great powers. "Politicians," said Ibsen, "who talk of war between the Scandina vian nations are reactionary, how ever advanced may be the opinions they profess. Only through econo mic and intellectual co-operation can small states progress or main tain their place among the great powers. HILO WINE. AND LIQUOR COMPANY J. S. CANARIO, Manager.
