Hawaii cm support a much larger
population than now exists on her
lands. Hut only by n slow process ran
It bo done. Owing lo her unfortunate
land system, and tho limited amount
of land on be vera 1 of the Islands, It Is
not easy to secure homes In the most
desirable places. Ah this system Is
modified, tho conditions will change.
There are many thousands of people
in the States, who desire a mild clim
ate. They will ilnd It here, lint they
must understand the conditions.
Owing to much trashy literature
about the troplcB, published In past
years, tho Idea Is fixed in the heads of
many that Nature is more kindly lo
man near the equator than towards tho
poles. So far ns climate Is concern
ed. It Is true, hut people who have
"wants" find that Nature docs not
supply them for tho asking In any part
elf tho earth. People with tho limited
wants of tho tropical ravage, can sup
ply such wants ns readily in any part
of the States. A man consumed about
flvo bushels of wheat per annum In
America, That quantity is easily rais
ed. In truth, so far, living In tho tro
pics Is mora costiy than elsewhere, bo
cause the peoplo of tho tropics Import
all manufactured goods. Until con
ditions change the tropics will remain
ugrkultur.il. Therefore tho opportu
nities for business are mainly in agri
culture, and not In manufacturing or
in trade.
These considerations need not dis
courage one who proposes to emigrate,
provided ho has forethought, Is prud
out, and will not gamble In taking
chances.

It Is needless for ns to discuss the
with tho members of tho Hoard of
Health. Tho leport of the Picsldcnt
of the Hoard, published lu our Issue of
the 28th, carries Its own argument. As
to Colonel Barber's uttltiido lu the
matter, so far as It effects tho lives of
his own men, and his treatment of
American citizens who are under mili
tary discipline, he will have to explain
that to tho fathers, tho mothers, tho
sisters, nnd the fellow citizens of the
men who are under him. These en
listed men may bo military slaves here,
but In their own homes they are free
men. Of course tho War Investigating

tional laws. He claims the legal right
to be tho sole Judge of the sanitary re
quirements of his camp, although the
health and lives of the people of the
city also are Invohed. He hns, there
fore, defied the Hoard.
If Colonel Harber Is not correct In
his position, he Is liable to fine nnd
Imprisonment for violating our local
laws. If he Is correct, the booner it Is
plainly understood the better It will be
for us all.

takes another aspect of tho rase.
Wo raise simply the plain, colorless
question of legal right. Hero Is un

"In the subjugation of Cuba and the
Philippines our navy paved the way
for our army, uml Cod was the leadar
of both. It was u war of Christianity
and civilization and humanity, and Cod
had avenged the horrors of the Spanish
Inquisition. During the war wo heard
a good deal ubout the part played by
13-lnch shells. For tho cost of firing
onu of these shells once, wo could
maintain two missionaries, in China
or Africa, or the Philippines or Cuba
for a year. Surely two missionaries
aro worth more than a 13-lnch shell,"
The total expenses of the American
Hoard of Commissioners for Foreign
Missions, that has planted stations In
nearly every heathen land, was about
$800,000 for tho car 1897. The cost
of prosecuting the war against Spain
was nearly J2.000.000 per day. This
great Christian nation spent more
money In one day, for tho causo of
liumnnliy In Cuba, than the Hoard of
Missions spent In a year, though II
'cached all tho pagan world.
Why Is It that tho enlightened peo
ple of n Christian Hepubllc aro willing
to spend such enormous sums for kill
ing men, nnd such Insignificant sums
for converting them?
Men put their money where they put
their faith. Men also put their money,

tho United States did not annex us
