TiLK LIGHTHOUSE SCARE.
Scmator McCandless has again dis
charged himself, like an invoice of
Chinese fire crackers, over the impend
ing peril to mankind from the now
Diamond Head lighthouse. He has l.e
come thoroughly frightened at the frail
structure, and he means to frighten ev

no delinquent taxes; the farmers are
s not in debt as a class; they all or near
j ly all own comfortable carriages; their
j homes though simple are comfortable;
pianos and other luxuries are not un
common. Farm values are high now,
whereas in the days before the factory
came, they were very low. The quali
ty of other crops with which they alter
nate their beets is much improved, and
the quantity is much greater.' An air
erybody else.
When he stood by the structure last j of thrift pervaded the entire commun-
week. in the solemn discharge of ajity. New homes were being built and
Senatorial duty, he spent the most of
his time, not in inspecting, but in "pre
paring to meet his God," if the struc
ture toppled over, and his shrieks of
public improvements made, and Lehi,

The Senator naturally feels that an
artesian well, built under his own di
rection, in the place of the lighthouse,
and dispensing wholesome water to
mariners, "would be preferable to the
lurid glare cf a lantern that invited
them to destruction is if they were
flies.
The lighthouse is built on precisely
the same principles as those construct
ed by the lighthouse Board of the
United States Government. While the
weight of the lantern and fixtures at
Diamond Head is only 15 tons, the
structure can sustain a weight of be
tween 40 and 50 tons. Scores of sim
ilar structures are seen along the At
lantic Coast. The methods of building
them are perfectly well known to Su
perintendent Rowell, but not to Sena
tor McCandless.
The Senator resembles an old farme
from Pennsylvania, who visited his son
in Philadelphia, a few years ago, and
was shown for the first time, an ocean
steamer driven by a propeller hlad3.
"No Jeems," he said, "your old fadder
will go home if you make a fool of him.

The underlying fact in the foregoing
statement is, the individual ownership
of land, and homes by the farmers.
The price of beets is about that paid to
the German peasants for beets. The
farmers are competing with the cheap
labor of Europe, and yet they "all or
nearly all own comfortable carriages."
Such farmers can be relied on to
make good laws. They make backbone
for the State.
This is the clas of men we need
here. We do not blame the planters
because we do not have them. But we
need them, and it is quite ti ne that we
set about getting V. em.
We need them vith annexation, wre
need them especially without annexation.

Perhaps it's simply unconscious as
sociation of ideas, but Captain Bojk,
commanding the U. s. S. Mohican,

i -
seems to appear quite fatherly. The i
boys on this ship range in age from 14
to 17. In quality, they are naturally
good, bad acd indifferent. On the whole
they are well behaved and take no: un
kindly to discipline and duty. Captain
Book does not find it at all difficult to
manage the youngsters. The lads are
enjoying their stay in Honolulu very
much. All of them want to ride wheels.
They took the liveliest interest in the
football game on Saturday, and were
quite partisans as soon as they could
distinguish one side from the other.
At one period in the history of the
service, boys could go from the appren
tice ranks of the U. S. naval aca
demy at Annapolis and become officers.
There is no more of this. After a fair
trial the system was condemned.
It was understood some days ago that
the Mohican was to leave this port oa

GRANT AND THE SOUTH.
The committee in charge of :he cele
bration of General Grant's birthday, in
Galena, have invited Emory S peers, a
Confederate Colonel of Kentucky to
deliver au address on the occasion.
The Illinois papers generally approve
of it, as it clearly emphasizes the grad
ual close of the animosities created by
the civil war.
Though Grant fought and conquer

Jonh Bull said: "Take away those

The trouble is that there are too
many graduates from "Whang Doodle
College" around. The greater the
ignorance, the higher the degree con
ferred. The Senator in respect is en
titled to a:n L. L. D. If Dr. McCand-lt-r.r

Shit Superintendent Rowell, they must
strike out at some weaker spot than
the lighthouse affair. Mr. Rowell is a
civil engineer, who has studied up the
construction of lighthouses. It is his
misfortune that he did not graduate
from Whang Doodle College.
Let us be generous. We advocate ex
tra pay to the- Senator for the risks he
has incurred in inspecting that light
house. But it makes the spot memor
able. For a thousand years to come,
the tourists will be taken by Mr.
Carty's liveries to the place, and after
uncovering, will be told: "There is
where the heroic McCandless stood
when he recklessly braved death, in
pure love of his country, while the
lighthouse rocked and reeled in the
summer breeze."
Thank God! We are daily grinding
out the romances of Hawaiian life.
What legends we shall have!
SMALL FAR VERS.
An American paper prose. its a very
pleasant picture of the value of the beet
industry to a community:
"Before the sugar factory was built,
Lehi, Utah, was a very ordinary settle
ment; its picturesque surroundings and
fertile soil did not make a market for
the farmer's products, and up to the
date of the establishment of the sugar
factory there was little more than a
bare living for the farmer; he had no
bank account, his taxes were not al
ways paid promptly, he owned no com
fortable carriage or pleasure vehicle,
his lines were hard and unpromising
as is too true in the case of all out
lying farming villages, no matter
where they are located. But the su
gar factory came. A cash market, at a
fixed price, was given him for his beets.
Seven years have passed. A bank with
and they would be needed, "'he instant
the document of currendes as signed,
Grant became Kindly, gt. erous, hu
mane. The jingoes of the North de
nounced him for it. Though he replied:
"Have I not restored the Union?" they
shouted: "Punish the rebels, let them
suffer." This shading of the Christlike
in Grant's character won the respect
of all men, especially those of the
South. He was indeed a cruel and able
fighter, one who knew that war meant
only blood and misery and suffering.
He wa3 a mere child as a. practical poli
ticly n and financier. But the men who
knew tim best, saw ir him a simple
nature, with cliarity towards all men.
S :e commands the homage of the
North; because under him, the Union
was restored. He commanded the hom
age of the South, because in the flush
of victory, with his enemies at his feet,
with, an army of half a million of men
still behind him, knowing full well as
he looked at the instrument of sur
render before him, that he had secured
his own "fame as one of the world's
great warriors," he could still think of
the desolate homes of the South, and
the substantial aid he could give them
in ploughing time. The Suoth does
not forget it.
It is reported that Prof. W. Libbey
of Princeton College, will visit these
1 Islands with a corps of students within
a short time, and study the shells and
fossils, explore the caves in which bu
rials were made in eld times, and col
lect biological specimens. Professor
Li! -bey is a young man, the son of a
partner of the late New York merchant
A. T. Stewart, and the possessor of
great wealth. He is one of the noble
men of the United States of which Pro
fessor Agassiz is another example, who
are using their wealth for ic general
benefit of mankind.
