"Who Robbod tho Hawaiians!" Ediioh TnE Independent : "Mnuy ft one lias boen looking about to And who robbed tho Hawaiians of thoir lauds," so writes tho Star, and further, insiuuatos that ox-Senator Dubois is tho long sought fpr man and knows all about it. Who wants to know who robbed the Hawaiians of their land? The Star. No ono kuows bettor than tho editor of that paper, tho true answer to the question. Those who robbed tho Hawaiians wore and aro those who rocoived the greatest favors from them, iu kindness, hospitality oven love itself, and what was their reward, the blackest ingratitude, disgraceful treachery, and double dyed treason. The robbers, pirates, sneak thieves, Christian adventurers after apoils, call them what one will, aro thoso who ingratiated themselves with tho people of Hawaii (under the banner of tho Eodoemor) and wining their affectiou, received their perfect confidence and trust, betrayed that confidence and trust, and havo for years been engaged in juggling away their God given inheritance, nay, their yery country itsolf to a gigantic neighbor, who declares that these mon are not of her flock, nor sheep of her pasture. The editor of tho Star is a man without a country, "Berotania won't own him; to tho Fiery Cross," he is but as a heathen man and an iufidol who has denied the faith and has forgotten eternal rarities, truth, honor, justice, and universal freedom. No man can sit iu a soiled goat without being defiled, and wo all know that "evil communications corrupt good manners." Grief, pity, sorrow for transgressions, are among the moat beautiful qualities of the Hawaiian people, which you would practically re-move from tho roll of nations, and for what? For these qualities. Aberdeen. SangorouB Economy. The people of Sau Francisco do-sire to see the affairs of tho city conducted on au economical business basis. The tax money paid by them ought to be sufficient to ruu the local government without seriously crippling any department. Tho pruning knife'iutelligently applied would save thousands of dollars where their expenditure is not absolutely necessary, and permit more liberal appropriations in othor and more vital direotious. But thoro oau be tieithor business sense uor economy in rotreuehment where tho saving of money moans tho immediate and direct impairment of a branch of the public service that affoots the health of tho whole cit'. Tho appropriation made for the Board of Hoalth for this year is totally inadequate, and means tho abolishment of all food inspection stations, compels the suspension of milk in spection, and abolishes tho chemical and bactoriologioal laboratories The immense valuo of food inspection during the past yoa'r is geuerally admitted; tho wholesale trade of tho uity and the local manufacturers have bean greatly benefited and oncouragod, .and tho public protooted from all manner of cho'ap and impuro imitations, This brauah of the Health Board alone is worth tho entire cost of tho department, Thojuspeotjon of milk has accomplished oven greater results. Immunity from punishment had almost destroyed honest dairymen, aud literally Hooded tho city with a vile aud clangorous adulteration, iu which filth and disease woro about equally present. Under tho rigid investigation of tho department puro milk is the rule, aud tho Wnfflhiiitrfl6ii & u ft ' a uW , ,. s. . u i n... r. jujA. . inferior orticlo the exception. Tho dailies nro being improicrf, and tho tuboruuliu tdxt im fal ridding tho herds of consumption. General sanitary conditions of the city are being improved, and modern methods are being gradually introduced. Theso are pome of tho good uses of the Board of Hoalth. Tho work of tho past year has shown what may bo expected in tho future from this able and conscientious department. To pormit tho whole Bystom to perish for the ant of money it not only poor economy; it is a crime. Tho money already expended in perfecting the plans of the Hoalth Board, and iu bringing its organization up to tho present eilieiency, and which has accomplished groat good if fupplemonted by further reason ablo appropriation, will continue to returu thirty, sixty and a hundredfold interest upon (he investment. To deny funds to other departments may result in much inconvenience and soruo financial loss. Fire, poliao, tbo schools and streets aro bettor subjects for reduced appropriations than the Health Board. Loss might come from an underpaid firo equipment; streets less clean would increase personal and curtailed school funds affoot the general range of study. But none of these touch tho quality of tho food wo eat, reach the sanitary condition of the city, encourage the manufacture and the salo of honest goods, protect the people against frauds, or defend us against disease. A vigorous Health Board does all these things, This department is not in any shubo political; its operation is upon practical bater, and its memliern fire working consistently along tho line of proved .methods for the health of the whole pooplo. Tho dollar limit may havo advantages, but they cau offer no" compensation fpr tho ill consequences that must follow the abandonment of moasuros of sanitation and protection of public li.'iltli in a great city. S. F. News L'tter. China aud Japan Taking1 Their Places as Wheat Consumers. California has long held to ytho belief that China and Japan would one day taluv more wheal than this State has as a surplus. After long waiting the signs aro that not much lougur will the hope be father to tho thought. The trado is already here, and is attracting favorable montion all over the country. Tho Agricultural Department, in a special circular, has just called attention to what is happeuiug, and to the importance of it. The summary made by tho department chows that tho shipments of flour from tho Pacific Coast States to Japan and China, including Hongkong, duriug tho ten yoars ouding June 80, 188G, amounted to fully 0,000,000 barrel?, by far tho larger half cing during the last half of the decade. In 1806, tho opening year of this decade, tho amount rose to 913,078; and up to Juno, 1897, the export is estimated at over 1,000,000 barrels At this rate of progress our surplus will all soou be wanted for the Orient. There has been no drought thero, but it is being found more economical and better to substitute Hour for rice. It is hardly possible to sot bounds to this rapidly expanding business1, seeing how immenso tho population is. Tho turning of tho Orient tasto from rico to Hour moans a revolution in Pacific Coast trado. If we can sell to the East, wo shall also more largely buy from them, to tlirj great good of oil, Tho future of tho Paoifio who shall toll of it? S, F, News Letter.
