I , ft SAT? ATT fiivmr?F Honolulu, May 3, 1901. 6847 Editor Advertiser: Everybody must have noticed how the Honolulu newspa pers had nothing but sarcasm and sneers for Mr. Jared Smith, the coming United States agriculturist and his reported re marks or explanations of his plans. In terested parties kept cool and so did I, but now comes the "Paradise of the Pa cific" in a sample number and sneers again and ridicules Mr. Smith. All City folks may agree with the edi tor of the Paradise, but I do not believe tnat any experienced farmer will join the wiseacres in talking or writine against Mr. Smith and his plans. If you al'.OW me, I will OUOte from hiss rpnnrt d statement and add (although not an xperienced farmer) my own observa tions: 1. His first work will be to teach the Hawaiian people how to grow garden truck. WeH, I have tried again and again all kinds of vegetable seeds in the Tantalus mountains without the slightest success. !ni' during tne last lew years have use My gardeners were of different national- ful trees like ailigator pears, mangoes, ities American, German, Portuguese, ' oranges, etc., been planted there. Chinese, Japanese, etc. but all failed.' ! Other trees on my mountain retreat. There is no doubt that all kinds of vege- tables can be raised on any plantation. but it requires somebody who under- stands the cultivation of the plants, and Mr. Smith is certainly able to advise and to instruct. 'They will also be taught the value of dairy cows," etc. There is no doubt that they are of great value to poor and other families, and I would like to make my own but ter, etc., but I have not succeeded in finding any expert dairyman unless I pay him J1.5U for each pound of butter. My farm furnishes food enough for several cows, out It is all lost and wasted. 3. "The forage plants produced for Ha waiian consumption." We can laugh at this when shiploads of hay and other feed are imported from "Smith firm all good Hawaiians, includ abroad. We certainly can raise all re- i ln yours sincerely, quired feed on our Islands, but it takes a man like Mr. Smith to teach us how! 4. "Poor families raising chickens." There are fortunes in this enterprise, as chickens are thriving finely in the mountains, feeding mostly on worms and other insects. The mongoose don't seem to trouble the big hens; only young chickens need special care and attention. We get plenty eggs from the mountains and might easily increase the quantity, PRAYER FOB THE KING The Friend's Comment on a Local Episcopal Custom. Our greatly esteemed friend, the edi tor of the Agllcan Church Chronicle, appears to have in vjew the March is sue of The Friend, in some strictures upon the unreasonableness of objecting to prayers in Hawaiian churches for the King of England. We hasten to assure our good neighbor that we i might approve of such prayers, if I suitably worded. Our objection was solely to the kind of prayer promul gated, which contained expressions re pugnant to the democratic minds of Americans. It was for this reason that we reprinted the prayer in full. Such expressions are the three fol lowing: "That his people may never be wanting in honor of his person, and dutiful submission to his authority,;" "Do thou weaken the hands, blast the tdeslgns. and defeat the enterprises of all his enemies, that no secret con spiracies, nor open violences, may dis quiet his reign;" that "supported by Thy powers may be triumph over all opposition." The finst of the above three petitions savors too much for the America mind, of subserviency to royal sta tion and authority. The second is re pugnant to the principle that it is of ten a duty of citizens to use violence in resisting the tyrannies of kings, as did Cromwell and Hampden. The third petition assumes that the king will al ways be in the right. As Americans, we cannot pray that King Edward may triumph over us, if we should happen to be in opposition to him. We respect fully recommend that the prayer be materially changed, and made suitable for the American citizens of Hawaii to offer in behalf of our honored neigh bor, the King of England. What is manifestly needed here is a bishop of healthy American instincts to preside over an American church. IN POLICE COURT. j Judge Wilcox Listens to a Bunch, ef Very Ordinary Cases. In the police court yesterday J. H. ; Miller was fined $f and costs for as sault and battery on K. Ogata. Miller went to wash in complainant's j bathhouse, and tendered a quarter In I payment. The quarter was plugged, land Ogata refused to accept It. Miller saiu mai n a a;i tne money ne naa. Ogata thereupon .-- ught to rorcibly de tain him, and MiJ'.et struck him. "Crimp" M by, who is breaking the assault anil baitery record, appear ed "to answer a ( h .rge of striking John Bruce, a sailor. The case went over until May 6th. David Manuei. -he man with the money, was fine I ID and costs ror pro fanity. His !i lor had evidently heard of his wealth. The case agai t H. E. Bearsley, charged with having stolen paint brushes from St rling, the painter, was continued until .May 6th. Other cases dealt with were: W. Cook, D. Spaulding, larceny, first degree, May 10th: Polo-aiea, selling ! liquor, nolle prossed; five, drunkenness, I $2 and costs; Ng Pak, assault and bat tery on Lan Kee, May 4th; Hoyakama, Sam Kee, C. Aiwohl, common nuisance, reprimanded and discharged; D. J. Gil- lispie, John Bruce, vagrancy, May 4tn; Bob Gardner, selling liquor. May 4th; Charles Ahong, Louise, drunkenness, nolle prossed Robert Murray, drunk enness, reprimanded and discharged. The reason why Polo-aiea was dis charged from the Circuit Court on a charge of liquor selling, was that there was no sworn complaint. The decision of the upper court made the second charge against him a first offense, and he was re-fined accordingly. The orig inal fine was $500, as provided by law for a second offense. Missionary-phobia. The New York Sun recently devoted a column or two to showing that the mortality of the Sandwich Islands was in consequence of the missionaries teaching them to wear shirts, which were destructive to health! The pres ent writer can personally testify that up to 1840, twenty years after the ar rival of the missionaries, very few of the natives ever wore shirts, except at churr.h. Moreover, the decrease or population was more rapid during the forty years before the missionaries came, than it was in the forty succeed- the business. 5. "And pigs." This business can be carried on and be come a very profitable one on lands about ten miles distant from Honolulu. Pigs are imported and consumed in large quantities; they can be easily rais ed by good food growing here, such as sugar cane, etc. Mr. Smith may give some advice to stop further importation. 6. "Coffee-raising will be studied." And I have studied it for years; but this is not now an agricultural enter prise, but a question of cheap labor for picking, etc. 7. "Forestry will be done on the moun- i tain tops." Innumerable blunders have been com I mitted by attempts to reforest our vast j and bare mountain slopes with entirely j useless trees. It is a pitiful sight to ! see those miserable and geod-for-r.othing I monkey-pods on the Makiki ridge. Even ! the eucalyptus are of little use, and ' such as peaches, pears, apples, apricots. elc nave net. aone as wen as pernaps ! tneJ might have done if treated by an expert, and Mr.; Smith certainly can edu. ' cate a number of young people to be come experts. Before closing I wish to state most em j phatically that nothing in my remarks i is intended to cast any reflection upon Hawaiian experts, such as Messrs. Her bert, Blouin, Clark. Vredenburg, Taylor, 1 Haughs and others, but that I merely i wsh to note my protest against any un- ; KW1U remarks concerning .ur. jarea ! pmun s commission. Me snouiu De re ceived by all practical farmers and in tended agriculturists with open arms and be thankcl for all advice joyfully and appreciatively. Welcome to Mr. Jared H. W. SCHMIDT, P. O. Box 568. P. S. Here is a true story about an agricultural Chinaman, which happened within the last week: I was up on my mountain retreat with a guest and, see ing the violet bushes covered with flow ers, told my Chinese gardener to bring some flowers down the next day. He did bring a lot of violet flowers but all with , the roots! S. i ing: In 1780, estimated population, j 400,000; 1820, estimated population, 140,- j uou: isstj. nrst census, ios,5.; i860, cen sus. 69,800. Our men-servants, when about the ; house, always wore a shirt, but no I pants. They were usually healthy, be- ; i ing under the missionaries' sanitary j regimen. The only material modlflca- ' tion in female attire, was in clothing ! to cover the bosom, which had always been left exposed. A leading cause of j depopulation was the introduction of j syphilis by the white discoverers, syph- J ilization preceding civilization. The ' Friend. PAWNBROKERS TO ARRIVE. The Three Brass Balls May Soon Swing From Honolulu Stores. Although a law licensing pawnbrok ing has been in effect in Honolulu since 1886, no licenses have ever been issued to "accommodate the people at a slight rate of interest." Several individuals bearing all the earmarks of "Uncles," have, however, opened stores on the upper part of Fort street that need little besides the three brass balls to make them the real article. The second-hand man is largely in evidence, and the well known trade mark may be seen outside the door of some Hebraic dealer in hand-me-downs, chairs, watches and musical in struments. As the law runs, 4 per cent per month is all that Mr. Jacobs, of Honolulu, can charge on loans of $20 or under; up to $100 the rate is halved, and above that amount only 1 per cent is allowed; not so extravagant a charge for a "just till pay day " loan. A HORRIBLE DEATH. Porto Rican Boy Steals a Ride to Fall Beneath the Train. Papay Belaski, a young Porto Rican, attending school in Wailuku. Maui, while stealing a ride on the plantation train when returning home from school met with a terrible accident resulting in instant death. On reaching the nearest point to home Papay and his brother Juan jumped from the rapidly moving train. Juan landed safely, but Papay apparently stumbled on tne em bankment and fell back under the wheels. The body was .found on the return tr-ir, r,f ,h0 fv ora(v, . . i j' ' i n- u uni x i i i . it ciu:- ' , v i ill L . ; skull cracked almost in twain. Juan, the brother, is supposed to be hiding from terror caused by his brother's death. The mother, who has lately come out of the hospital, is prostrated. NO LOSS OF TIME. I have sold Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy for years, and would rather be out of cof ; fee and sugar than it. I sold five bot tles of it yesterday to threshers that could go no farther, and they are at i work again this morning. H. R. I Phelps, Plymouth, Oklahoma, as will be seen oy tne above tne threshers were able to keep on with their work without losing a single day's time. You should keep a bottle of this remedy in your home.
