PLANTATION PROPERTIES.
The publication of so many nnnual
reports, last week, upon sugar ptantn
tlon properties, naturally turned nil
talk toward the progress and develop
ment of our staple Industry. As a
whole the reports were fnvorable,
ami the management and stockholders
of the Ewn property nro certainly do
fcorvlng of congratulation upon the ex
ccllent prospects for their properly. To
man stockholders, sonio of tho re
ports were undoubtedly disappointing
Inasmuch ns there was no forecast of
dividends In tho treasurers' financial
statements Hut the older clement In
our sugar producing business has had
its experience In tho tips and downs
of new plantation properties The
realization of expenses Is nlwas far
greater than tho nntlclpatldn, and
there was undoubtedly considerable
underestimation In conditions of tho
markets In some of tho prospectuses
Issued b promoters of new ventures
Hut these new properties aro coming
out nil right Tho decline In tho price
of sugar of today could not hove been
predicted three years ago any moro
than we enn givo n forecast of quota
tions to be received by tho next In
coming steamer It is bettor to go
slow than to get deeper Into debt, and
If new properties are not paving divi
dends this jenr they mny be tho better
able to do so in 1903 nnd also be en a
much sounder financial footing, Some
of tho plantation properties have suf
fered severely from drouth which has
placed them on the non dividend list
this ear This could not possibly
havo been foreseen, but nny grunv
bllng on the part of stockholders can'
not change the result.
Outside of this, there seems to bo
only one thing to mar tho futuro of
plantation prospects, nnd that Is tho
unfortunate position In which tho Ko.
nn propert Is now- placed. If this be
allowed to go to ruin It will seriously
affect the good name of Hawaii and
cause a loss of confidence In the prop
erties of this Territory thnt will take
a long tlmo to eradicate It Is hoped,
however, that tho futuro of tho Kona
property is not so gloomy as at i res
ent appears, and thnt within a few-
da) s wo shall havo tho pleasure of an

PRINCH HENRY'S VISIT.

diplomatic notes nnd communications
are not at our disposal, tho evidence
of facts was nmplo to prove that thero

SMALL FEDERAL APPROPRIATIONS ASKED FOR HAWAII.
The Bulletin has received a copy of the estimates of appropriations for the fiscal jcar ending Juno 30, 1903,
ns submitted to Congress by tho Secretary of the Treasury. Tho total amount of appropriations calcd for by tho
different Federal Departments Is f 610.827.CS8. A careful examination of tho document, which comprises moro
than 500 pages, shows thnt the total appropriations nsked for tho Territory of Hawaii amount only to (162,200 be
sides n possible Interest in throe other appropriations for tho relief nnd protection of American seamen, for tho
purchase) of submarine mines nnd for surveys. Considering that tho Fulcra! Government receives from this Tor
rltory upwards of a million dolars annually from Customs revenue. It hardly seems cqultablo thnt Hawaii snould
bo considered In Washington ns or.ly worth n bagatelle of expenditure like $162,200. The appropriations, taken
from the report of the Sec retnrj of tho Treasury, are as folows:
Relief and protection of American seamen and shipwrecked American seamen In Alaska, Hawaii, Cuba,
Porto Rico, Philippines , j 30,000
Purchase of submarine mines nnd necessnry nppllancos to operate them for closing the channels leading

They nre charged to ninko specific In

One of the objects of research by tho
visitors from France Is tho bo called
trusts or combinations of capital
which are not permissible in their
country. Their Inquiries nro particu
larly directed toward their effect upon
the investor, the wage earner nnd the
public. The Secretary of the French
Nnvy desires facts ns to American
coal, France Importing nnnually some
fifteen million tons moro than sho
produces, heretofore getting the addl
tlonal supplj from England and Bel
gium. As n result ot the visit of the two
French commissioners, students may
bo sent to the United Stntes lo exam

as our Industrial methods. As Mr.
Welller said
We would like to learn, for In

proiesses whonio ionics that
audacity which makes jou darn

France sends students to Athens tu
study the classics and students to
Rome to study art, painting nnd sculp

dents to the United States to studv In
dustrlal problems and methods of
Government. Hut behind it nil Is an
Idea of trade arrangements and a sug
gestion of "some slight concessions"
on the part of the United States which
leaves a flavor In the mouth thnt tho
two French commissioners of Industry

cates of a reclprocltj treaty that does

BEGGARS.
From re ent reports of the mannger
of the Associated Charities It would
seem thnt Honolulu Is becoming In
fested with beggars and mendicants.
Uy this Ib not meant the uuTortunate
poor who, by reason of old nge, acci
dent or Borne other nllllctlon. are lu
capacitated from earning for them
selves nnd nro without means, but
rather It seems that we havo the shift
less and Idle vagabond In our midst In
greater numbcis than Is desirable. It
was thought that most of tbo Idlers
wero Porto Rlians who had been sent
to work on tho plantations, but II
seems that they represent nearly all
the nationalities on thu globo and
range In variety from tho spendthrift
dnllor to tho professional tramp.
Honolulu Is one of tho most chari
table cities In the world. In fnct. for
Its slzo and population, It Is doubtful
If any other city can equal the liberal
Ity of our citizens in their contribu
tlons toward good work. Hut that is
no reason why wo should bu Imposed
upon Some of thoso in need have
doubtless become so tbiough no Intcn
tlonal fault of their own. Coming here
to seek work they have found the
field moro than well supplied and, not
bnvlng money enough to leave, their
little funds have gradualy disappear
ed and the-y are at last "on their up
pers " Hard times, too, may be held
responsible for Bomo of tho ncedv, al
so the fact that Chinese and Japanese
havo worked Into businesses that
wero formerly controlled by whltn
men
This evil was little known here bo
fore annexation. Wo nro a hlghwaj

.- 8 I A TUK OP DIVORCLS.
In liuldlng that applicants for ill
vorce must have resided In Hawaii fur
at least two j ears prior to thu filing
of the application. Judge Humphreys
rendered n decision that promises to
be farri.ithlng In Its effect.
Hawaii Is no exception to Congres
sional regulation ot tho subject of di
vorce. Subsequent to the admission of
South Dakota to Statehood, tho Terri
tory of Oklahoma made a bid for di
vorcees bj passing a law making threo
months' residence In that Torrltory,,mul PPcr, for tho able manner with
sufficient for filing n suit for divorce,
Such a scandal wns raised over Okla-
lioma divorces that finally In 1896
Congress passed an act forbidding mo
granting of n divorce In nny Territory
unless the applicant therefor had re
sided In the Territory not less than
one jear prior to the filing of tho peti
tion When the Organic Act of Hawaii
was framed this period was extended
to two j eats in this Territory,
The Dulletln Is Informed that practl
callj every divorce libel filed In Ha
waii since the Territorial Government
was organized has followed tho old
form of pleading, merely setting forth
that the petitioner resided in tho Judi
cial district In which the petition was
(lied Judicial piecedent. It 1b claimed,
holds that a divorce libel must set
forth the resldmco of the llbellant, and
where a specific period of residence Is
required, as Is the caso In this Terri
tory, tho fact that the applicant has
resided In the Territory for two jears
previous to the filing of the complaint
must be set out. Falling In this It Is
claimed that n divorce granted tipon
such faulty pleading Is null and void.
If this be so, then thero Is no ques
tion thnt property rights aro Involved
In some Instances by Judge Humph-
reys decision Divorces have been
granted here lie June Hh. 1900. In
blch the complaint did not set forth
the fact of two jears residence, and
where one of the parties to tho BUit
has since disposed of property with-

i,fc iiiv (iiiinuui. ur niKiiuiiire oi mo
other It Is claimed that suih trans
fers nre not legul for the reason that a
dv one granted on such a fault j com-
paint Is n nulllt, If this bo so It
shows that a serious state of affairs
has been permitted to spring up here
through attorneys not looking Into ev-
eiy fentuie or tho law bearing upou
divorce proceedings
It also well Illustrates tho old w
about the loopholes of the law The.
astute and studious nttomejs seem to
havo no great dlllkulty lu flndlnK the
loopholes.

Diseases of the potato ami the pota

WHAT ItOOSEVHLT WANTS.
(Illlo Tribune).
It has been well known for n period
of twelve months thnt Gov ci nor Dole
would icslgn providing ho hnd assur
ance" that Secretary II. E. Cooper
would bo appointed his successor. It
Is known thnt tho late President Mc
Klnlcy was approached with a propo
sition of this kind nnd that ho did not
look upon tho scheme with fnvor.
Theodore Roosevelt Inherited tho In
side information ns to Dole's wishes
which with tho clouds of complaints
from tho outside, convinced him that
the removal of Dolo would have ro bo
made early this spring. The President
wns agreeable to tho wishes of Dole In
tho matter of his resignation but did
not tnko to tho Idea of putting n sec
ond edition or tho "sphinx" In tho
Governor's office.
Governor Dole and his Secretary
havo no ono to blame but themselves
for tho furore that has been howling
about their heads In Hnwall and In
Wnshington. Slnco tho overturn of
tho Monarch) they havo been plajlng
a "ilnch" gnmo In the politics nnd arc
at It jet. That sort of a graft Is dis
tasteful to tho great majority on these
Islands and docs not suit the Presi
dent. With frankness tho President has
made his Inquiries about conditions
and men In Hawaii. Ho asked Parker
n question and It was announced that
he had offered to make nlm Governor
Ho asks George Carter a few questions
and that gentleman Immediately poos
crazy The President mentions Dll
llnghnm nnd II. P. Baldwin. Then tho
hens In tho poultry jard cackle an
other tune. All that have been named
aro Gubernatorial Impossibilities for
patent reasons differing In eaih cnBe.
Nono of them will step into Dole's
shoes. Dolo will either not be remov
ed, or If removed will be replaced by
Judge Little.
President Roosevelt naturally wants
a strong, sincere nnd harmonious Ad
ministration paity built up lu theso
Islands. Cooper could not mako two
magnets ndhcrc. Carter would cllslii
tegrnte the molecules In n piece of
wrought Iron nnd Baldwin Is too close
ly wrapped up In his vast sugar Inter
ests to cnio to devote tho time neces
snry to bring about a realization of
tho President's dcslrcB Whether he
la appointed Governor or not It re
mains a fact that Judge Little Is the
only man so far nnmed for the riace
who can lino up nil classes and fac
tions lu a Bolld loyal Roosevelt partj-.
A party that would bo willing to bo
Bwnyed by tho most aggressive and
progressive American jet made Prcsl
