llolow is a letter, slightly abbre
viated in reprinting, from th
Evening Herald of Novada City,
California a paper which in an
othor lato issue warmly endorsed
the viewo of the Bulletin on an
nexation: Nevada City, January 25, 1897.
The Sandwich Island question
has lately received some attention
by tho present officials of tho Na
tional Capital. Although closo to
oar Pacific possessions, but littlo
is known of thotrue merits of a
quoetion of vital importance to tho
enterprising and intelligent Amer
icans who, by long years pf toil,
suffering and untiring persover
anco, have convertod what was
onco a barren and uninhabited
country, excopt for a fow Kanakas,
into an earthly paradise. It is
now one of tho most healthful,
ploisant and inviting countries in
tlin world, nnl nnflnr tlin nrnfni.
tion of tho United States Govern
ment it would bo one of the
wealthiest, and would encourage
men of intelligence and wealth to
locate in it.
The pioneers, in making this
great change, havo been mainly
Americans. As so littlo is knowu
of this country or of its great re
sources, a brief statement of its
greatness may have a little ollect
in causing those who will soon be
in power to make up tho im
portance of the question,8o justice
will bo done to a suffering pooplo
with a just causo, who in tho near
future will aid in adding wealth
and prosperity to all tho peoplo
this side of tho Bocky Mountains.
Tho oldest pionoor in develop
ing and bringing tho resources of
tho Islands into notico is Capt.
Castle. More than seventy years
ago his ship was wrocked on the
coast near whore tho present city
of Honolulu stands. Ho hnd no
way to "return to his homo in ono
of tho New England States. Ho
treated tho natives kindly, and did
not havo the same fate as Capt.
Cook. Castle was tho first man
to appreciate the climate, as well
as tho great resources. He was,
I believe, tho first ono to com
mence the production of sugar.
He was also the first, after Cali
fornia was admitted as a State, to
bring his own and his neigh
bors' sugar to San Franoisco.
On one of his annual visits with
sugar, I was introduced to him by
my old friend L. P. Tenny. Capt.
Castle fully detailed his condition
and trials, tho ground, olimato,
scenery and resources, and ex
pressed the hope that at no dis
tant day the islands would bocomo
a part, of our common country.
Heraised a family on tho islands,
giving each a good education in
nnr nnnnfrw VI,oti una nf li.a
sons had graduated from Yale, ho
reau law witu William M. Jivarts.
All are true, high-minded Ameri
cans. They all want an American
President, and tho American laws,
'
In using tho Castle's name alono,
neither ovorsight nor insult is in
tended to a singlo one of the
thousands of intelligent Ameri
cans that are in the same position
and are fighting for principlo, and
aro anxious to be admitted as a
part of our country. My aim ib
to assist thorn all. The islands
produce everything that grows in
eo mild and oven a climate, but up
to this timo coffoe and sugar aro
tho two staples that have received
most attention. The yield of sugar
for tho last season amounts to $12,
500,000. Tho production of coffoe
will soon yield moro than sugar.
It is tho best coffee in the world,
brings tho highest price, and will
yield a greater protit per acre.
Men of onterprise and capital aro
going into tho production of coffee
rapidly,
The islands in tlio last ten yetn
hnvo advanced greatly in popula
tion, wealth and education. Tlio-e
wli linvc iiiiule the country what J
it in fire tired of the. Kanaka law
and are extremely anxious to be
annexed to our country. Its loca
tion, climnto and resource1!, with
thu small bonded debt of lebs thnn
four million dollars, tlmt we would
hnvo to pay, make it bo desirable
that tho people not only of the
Pacific Coast but of thin Nation
should say unanimously nud
promptly: "Use all honorable
means to have the islands anuexed
to tho United States at the first
session of Congress nftor Presi
dent McKinlny takes his seat." In
case England had the same oppor
tunity she would bo mistress of
the situation. It would bo a part
of her possessions in less than
ninety dajs.
Whon money was scarce we
paid 810,000,000 for tho barren
Alaska possessions. Who dares
say it wob not a grand investment?
"Our work and acts shall
be the greatest good to the
greatest numbor."
All tho representatives from
the Pacific Coast should, and I
hope will, and especially all Be
publicans, bo a unit to act prompt
ly, with zeal to do justice to all.
It will add to tho Nation's credit,
as well as to its treasury.

A uuuuimous opinion of tho
Supreme Com t, written by Chief
Justice Judd, lias been rendered
in the nppenl of tlio Oahu Rail
way twid Lnud Company against
Jonathan Shaw, Tax Assessor.
The Court decides questions as
to methods of valuing leaseholds
for taxation, and concludes thus:
"A leasehold may vary in valuo
from year to year. Wo might,
using our own judgment, and con
sidering all the circumstances of
this particular case, put tho valua'
tion at various amouuts between
that put by the assessor, $103,000,
and that relumed by the taxpayer,
S40.000. ,But in view of tho
meager evidence before us, we
profor not to make an arbitrary
assessment which might bo wide
of the maik, aud we, finding tho
assessor's method of calculating
tho valuo erroueoun, hold that the
amount returned by the taxpayer
must slaud. Judgment accord
ingly." Circuit Judge Cartor sat on the
case in place of Associate Justice
Frear, disqualified. C. Brown ap
peared for appellant, and Thurs
ton & Stanley for tho assessor.
In the lax appeal of James I.
Dowsett and John K. Sumner, the
Court sustains tho valuation of
188,000 fixed by tho assessor and
affirmed by tho. Tax Appeal Court.
Counsel the sumo rb in1 tho first
case above reported. The law de
cided is in briof that the moiety
not leaded otv a valuable trect of
land, held by two tonants in com
mon, may bo properly considered
as of tho same valuo as tho moioty
under lease, and that the statutory
method of fixing tho valuation of
tho wholo land at eight times the
annual rcutal that is, double
that of tho moiety leased for
eight years, iB applicable to this
case.
In tho appeal of tho Inter-Island
Steam Navigation Company
ogainst tho judgment of tho Tax
Appeal Court, affirming tho valu
ation made by Assessor Shaw, tho
unanimous opinion of tho Sup
reme Court, by Assooiato Justice
Frear, is adverse to tho appoal.
Tho aBsossraont is upheld accord
ing to tho following syllabus:
"Under sections 17 and 08, Act
51, Laws of 189G, which provide
that real and porsonal property,
or uovoral classes or kinds or par
cols of real or personal, property,
when combined and made tho
basis of an onterprise for profit,
shall bo assessed as a whole, tak
ing into consideration tho net pro
fits, gross receipts and running
expenses of the onterprise,
and, in the caao of a 'cor
poration, tho market valuo of its
stock, and all othor facts bear
ing upon tho value of tho proper
ty; held, thut tho earnings, and,
in tho caso of a corporation, the
market valuo of tho stock, should
not be taken as the solo or conclu
sive test of the valuo of tho pro
erty but that thoy aro neverthe
ess important factors in deter
mining suoh value, whether the
proporty consists chiofly of real
estato as in tho caso of a railroad
company, or of personal estate, as
in the case of a steamship com
pany. "Proporty so oombined may
as a wholo bo of rauoh groater valuo
than tho sum of tho values of its
several parts regarded separately.
"In this caso, tho assessment of
tho plaintiff's property, consisting
chiefly of steamships, ship olmnu
lory. coal and real estate, as a
wholo at $-171,300, is sustained,
though tho plaintiff roturned tho
aggrogato valuo of its proporty,
roRardod as separato itoms, at
$209,590.48.
"Proof if made, that tho assessor
did not proceed in tho sarao way
in estimating tho valuo of tho pro
perty of all corporations, would
not be sufficient to invalidate tho
entire assessment on tho ground
of fraudulent discrimination."
Kinney & Ballou for the appol
lant; Thnrstou fe Stanley for the
assessor.
Theso decisions sustain tho new
mode of assessing real aud per
sonal proporty as ono mixed whole
estate.
