The Governor sent for her and questioned her about going to Ova to celebrate the fourth. I did not even know it was the fourth until some one spoke of it in the evening. About the twentieth of July she came back again and remained until the twentyfourth, when we all had orders to go to the Governor's to give testimony in regard to the outbreak. We started very early in the morning and came home late in the evening. It was a very dismal, rainy day. We were at the Governor's from about ten in the morning until four in the afternoon. Mr. Bowker, Mrs. Cole, Nanpei and I were questioned separately. There was not time for the two chitfs Uajai and Josiah, who went with us, to have their deposition taken. It was a very hard day. Mrs. Cole and Willie and two of the girls remained at Joninting. I thought best to take the othir girls home as things are likely to be quiet until forces can arrive from Manila. Over thirty of the guns which were taken by the natives have been returned now, as well as the boat which they took the morning that the Manila got off the rocks. Sometimes I hope that things can be arranged without any more fighting, but I fear they cannot. The natives will never give up the ringleaders, and, of course, the Spanish authorities will not make peace unless they are given up. August ijth. —We have sent a great �Volume 49, No. 2.] many of our things around to Kiti; nearly every thing in fact that we could spare and some that we find we cannot spare very well. Mrs. Cole came home last week and is planning to go around to Kiti with some of the smallest girls this week. Nanpei is going to let us live in his newhouse. He is having a native house built for a school-room and dining room for thegirls. I think that we can be very comfortable there as it is a foreign house, although it has no partitions yet and no upper floor. He has not been able to get the boards from Honolulu yet. I suppose we may look for the vessel from Manila about the last of the month or the first of next, and we intend either to go before they come or to be ready to leave as soon as we hear that they have arrivid. It does not seem right to leave the houses and other mission property until we must, and besides we have not liked to k:ave the people as long as there was even a slight hope that we could do anything towards restoring peace. It seems hopeless now, however, unless the Star should come. Perhaps they might listen to Mr. Rand. * * * The Japalap and Kinakap people and those from this place who wish to fight are busy with fortifications at the shore. On the whole the outlook is very discouraging. Some of those who are most anxious that peace be made now may find the influence of clan and family too strong to be resisted if it comes to fighting again. We have heard all sorts of rumors and some threats from those who think that we are too friendly with the Spanish. The Kiti people are very anxious about Nan pei. Some one has been around here to see if he was safe every few days since the outbreak. (He is a chief in the Kiti tribe.) His wife and children and a part of the training school have been around at Kiti some time, and he has been there twice, once to see his baby, which was born in THE FRIEND. 11 when we thought that we could take all of that when the fort was done he would the school, and now I am glad I have punish some who had displeased him.

Bishop Hermann and the Capuchins at Ponape are honest and sincere in their belief. We would honor them and their church for all the good which we believe they have done. So far as lieth in us, we would live in peace with them. But we cannot ignore our duty to enlighten the ignorant, and to call men out of spiritual bondage into that liberty wherewith Christ maketh free. If Protestantism fits me.n to produce wealth, and to be prosperous, we are bound to teach all men this glorious religion of the Gospel, which is profitable both for this life and the future one. Whoever is angered by our efforts, our duty is laid upon us. The Census of 1890, just taken, finds the population of Honolulu to be 22,889, being an increase of 2,042 since 1884.

But three survivors of the Mary Frazier reinforcement still reside in these islands, Hon. S. N. Castle, Mrs. J. M. Cooke, and Mrs. L. G. Lyons, of Waimea, Hawaii. Fruit Out of Season.—Very large Kona Pine-apples were in the market last week. We do not remember ever before to have seen ripe pine apples out of the summer season. Mangoes, which have a much longer season, are usually very scarce in the winter, but now are very abundant. �Volume 49, No. 2.] THE FRIEND. The Japanese Christian Church of Hilo was organized and recognized by council of neighboring churches on the 18th inst. The exercises were held in the Japanese Mission rooms, and were attended by a full delegation. The new church starts with a g K'dly membership, including, besides those drawn from the Foreign Church (ptrhaps 72, number not yet reported) seventeen received on confession of faith. The first collection (taken for missionary work) amounted to fifteen d. liars. An Encouraging Letter. The Close of the Ice Age Recent. CHICAGO, January 14, 1891. Publisher ok The Friend: Dear Sir: —Will you kindly receive a postal order for ten dollars, and therewith sustain my subscription to your interesting paper. It contains about all of interest regarding the Islands that a busy man car find lime to read. Cordially yours, HENRY M. Lyman, ?oo Ashland Boulevard. When Agsssiz first established the fact some thirty years ago that a large part of Europe had been once covered with glaciers, as Greenland is now, it came to be believed th..t this Ice Age closed not less than 50,000 years ago. Subsequent study, especially 1 f the tokens of the Ice Age in North America, seem thoroughly to prove that the close of the Ire Age could not have been more than 7,100 years ago, and probably much less. This conclusion is based upon a careful calculation of the rate of recession of Niagara Falls, since its present channel was formed at the recession of the Ice. Also from the similar process at the Falls of the Mississipi. A similar conclusion is also drawn from the extreme freshness of some specimens of wood imbedded in moraines of that period. Animal remains, such as the Newburgh mastodon, give the same indication. Since the melting of the glacier ice must have enormously increased the volume of the Niagara and Mississipi rivers while it laste and so have immensely increased their erosive power for the time, it seems not unreasonable to deduct something from the 7,000 years supposed to he required at present rates of erosion to produce the existing state of Mrs. Lucy White Palmer writes in Babyhood of her twins: "One little boy, himself the regnant b..by until the twins came, said, as he looked at one small bundle, 'Baby!' Then, turning suddenly, and finding himself confronted with a duplicate bundle, he added in perplexed bewilderment, 'More baby!' So it will often be with the mother 'Baby' is a soluble problem, but 'mule baby' introduces a complication. Sonic of our pet theories will inevitably be smashed before the twins are through with them." Mr. E.D. Preston of the U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey, is expected here next month to renew work on Latitude, Gravity, Magnetic, and Mtteorologtcal observations. He performed some such wt,rk here in 1883, and more in 1887. Wish we had a million dollar Observatory on the top of Halcakala and friend Preston at the head of it. It would shove St it nee right along. A Dry Winter. December rains were only up to the average of the year. The greater part of January was exceptionally dry. Yet tluse are usually our rainiest months. It was much the same a year ago, followed by heavy rains in February and March. The above relates only to the Honolulu district. The rainfall has been copious on the windward sides of the group. Last year our mango trees did not blossom until April, three months later than the csual time, owing to the winter drought, and have been flowering and fruiting at ( dd times ever since. The New Church Edifice.—The progress of the new Central Union Cnurch Building is slightly delayed by si.mi; fault found in the plans by the Public Works Department on the ground of insecurity. The defects will soon be corrected. Meantime large quantities of cut stone (blue lava) are being accumulated around the completed foundations. Ewa Plantation has got in 760 acres of new plant cane. The steam plows have broken up 350 acres to a depth of 14 inches towards their 1200 or 1500 acres for the crop of '92-3.

Some of these si fferers have no skill at work and no diligence. A majority are degraded by vice and drunkenness. To all of them the doors of remunerative labi r are dosed. It is evident that if all these people were to work with average skill, and faithfully, six or eight hours a day, their labor would amply supply the whole crowd with food, clothing, shelter, fuel, and most of the cheaper luxuries. They could raise the food and raw mate rials, mine the coal, manufacture the cloth, leather, clothing and shots, and all be comfortable and happy. They would all become producers and consumers. Now the problem is to set them at work. Involuntary servitude to a set of powerful and bentvolent masters would do it. But slavery is out of the question. Gen. 801 th proposes to induce them to voluntarily subject themsi Ives absolutely to the direction of himself and his deputies. Can he do it? He thinks that he can so pt rsuade them. If he succeeds, it Will be an enormous triumph of Gospel force over the perversity and degradation of abandoned humanity. We long and pray for the success of Gen. Booth's gigantic undertaking. Great cities are full on one side of colossal luxury and waste, and on the other of colossal masses of poverty and misery. Contrast Ward McAllister's "Society" and its brutish squandering, with the New York slums and their beastly wallowing All this inequality and this vice at both extremities of society we are assured that the Lord Jesus Christ will abolish, and that soon, we believe. But more men must accept the rule of the Savior, and accept him more heartily, before this squalid, bestial rule of Satan will be overcome. Rev. S.

An additional evidence is found in the ixtreme minuteness of glacial scratches preserved, showing that they have not had time to be erased by weathering.

Dedication of a Japanese Chapel. On the second Sunday in January the Chapel, which had been built on the Ews Plantation, near the Japanese quarters, lor the use of the Japanese laborers, was formally'dedicated with appropriate services. In the morning sonic ninety Japanese gathered, and, after a short sermon by Rev. A. H. Fisher, interpreted by the Japanese preacher, Rev. M. X buragi, nine Japanese were baptized. In the after noon the Chapel was filled to overflowing, several of the white men employed on the plantation coming with wives ami babies to attend the first public religious service held on the plantation. Rev. Dr. Hyde preached, the dedication sermon from Heb io:iti-22. Rev. Mr. Fisher read the formula of dedication from the Methodist Rook of Discipline. The chapel is a neat, small building, not far from the manager's residence. In the rear of the audience room are two private rooms, one fo.' the Japanese inspector and one for the preacher. Oilier plantations are planning to put up similar buildings. A Circular. Honolulu, January 20, 1891.

These outlays were demanded by the necessities of the day and were warranted by a full treasury. It was felt that the time had come for pressing the work. Old foundations needed strengthening and new ones were required to be laid. There was a call for enlargement— we enlarged our field. And now that it has grown to such proportion more funds are needed for the tilling. : : The enlargement has been as follows In the line of the Japanese work, the Hawaiian Board has a mission established on Hawaii with Hilo as its center. This mission has two workmen and should have four for the proper evangelization of the 0000 or more Japanese laborers on the plantations ol that island. What not long since was but a preaching station in HIIO, has become an organized mission with its church-home and outlying places of meeting and with its lines of benevolent work. The Portuguese mission, for which we have prayed and planned for so long a time, is at last an achieved fact with •chapel, school room, parsonage and teachers. This mission has two centers, one in this city and another in Hilo. It also employs a colporter. The Chinese evangelistic work has not been enlarged as was proposed, because we have tailed to secure the new men to put into the field The Chinese Mission School lias been reorganized and the rooms refitted at considerable expense. The full corps of teachers also necessitates an increased outlay for salaries. The im[i irtance of this enterprise males it a costly one. In the line of distinctively Hawaiian work the Board lias accepted the charge i the recently reopened Kohala Seminary. The school has been rebuilt and supplied with a corps of four teachers. It is now well equipped and prosperous with a full altenl nice of fifty pupils. Phe Hawaiian Hoard has also taken the responsibility of supporting a Hawaiian in Oberlin who is preparing himself for the native ministry. It was in the line of set unng a bttttr trained ministry that the new X. I'. M. Institute building was erected, for which nearly $10,000 were generously contributed. Certain special 1utlays were also nude in the way of furnishing Hawaiians with a better devotional literature. We feel that these lines of hopeful, dv. ncing effort will approve themselves to your judgment and will now invite your renewed and generous support on a larger scale. The following is a statement of the estimated expi nditures of this year (189.1,) such as must be met if we are to keep the work abreast of its present position • are available and which we may consider as practically assured to our need outside of individual subscriptions ?

It is the lowest possible figure of actual requirements for present work: and does not take account of contingencies, or of any enlargement. The required balance in round figures is $7,000, but in view of the growing necessities of the field we ask $3,000 more, and place our total request at $10,000 If it is the same to the giver, we 2. would be glad to have all monies contributed put to the account of the General Fund; that is, given into the treasury of the Roard without specification as to use. Donations so received can be applied by vote of the Roard to any branch of the work, and so long as there is a blance to the credit of the General Fund no department of the broad work need languish. 3.

Any one knowing of young men any where in the city who are sick or in need of helpful attention will please notify the Secretary or Mr. J. E. ISidwell, chairman of Committee on Visitation. The Y. M. C. A. Roys had an interesting meeting last month. After the transaction of some necessary business the Boys were addressed by Mr. F. M. English, 8.A., on "Life in the Indian Territory." Mr. English spent two years in the terri tory as an educational agent of the American Government. His experience was rather unique, but not calculated to multiply applicants for the same or any similar position requiring residence in the territory. We are greatly pleased to have Mr. Richards again able to lead tie singing in the Gospel Service. The singing is a very important part of this meeting and his strong leading v. ice inspires others to sing, and lightens somewhat the work of our pianist, who, in the absence of a chorister, has so faithfully done double duty. On New Year's the ladies of the W. C. T. U. and the V.'s kept open house in the Association Parlors from 11 Am.to4P M. The rooms were beautifully decorated and an abundance of to: thsome refreshments were served to all who called. It was a new departure in this city, but a very pleasant one and proved a decided success. In another column we give a clipped item concerning Captain Rray's work in the Oakland Y. M. C. A. The Captain was at one time connected with this As sociation, and has many friends in this city.

Now, lads, get rid of your dreaming and star gating; get rid of the idea that life is an oyster, antl that you are going to open it, and eat. I would rather you took Solomon's notion, who survryed life from the elevation of a king'y seat, and yet was honest enough to say and fori, "I am to be a busy man." If you mean to be an idler, a trifler, ihUtlets and h/y, go and ask the gravedigger to lay you comfortably under the clod. You have landed on the wrong planet. The world somehow or other is going to Row upon us. I wish you would understand that for most of us the world will give us more kicks thaiha'pence. You may live for eighty years, my dear young fellows, but you will hay a hard toil of life. Am I saying that you have mean ability? No, but with the best ability you will not necessarily get on. Now, will you settle yourself for the work? Life means business, toil, trouble, sweat of body, and brain. Brace yourself for it; gird yourself for it. He sure that is what is coming. You say, "That is hard." It is not hard; it is good for you; it will take the softness out of you. You are going to resign your situation because you only get fifteen shillings a week, and what is th.it to your gorgeous capabilities? You are going to strike, and bring down the company! You will soon understand that the co npany will get on without you. 1 have tried it. I speak in this homely way to drive away the glamor and the moon shine that you are mistaking for sunshine. Moonshine is a kind of shining, but the worst of it is, it is romantic, the lights and shadows are unreal, and when you come along the place when it is daylight, you say, "It is not nearly so beautiful as by moonlight." Now, 1 am tryirg to show you facts, and successful men in this mighty tit)- will tell yon life means U it, life means trouble, life means anxiety, life means a heavy battle, a heavy burden; it does not mean rolling and lolling al>. ut and having great fortunes dropping into your gapeing mouth. No; it means what it meant for Solomon long ago. Workingmen and Drink. In the city of New York alone, says a writer in The Medical Summary, it is estimated that not less than $.150,000 a d y are spent for drink; $1,500,000 in one week; $75,000,000 in one ye. r. Who will dispute it, when I say that one half of the policemen of New York City are employed to watch the beings who squander $75,-000,000 a year? Who will dispute it, when I say that the money spent in paying the salaries and expenses of one hall the police of New York could be saved to the taxpayers if $75,000,000 were not eh voted to making drunkards, thieves, prostitutes, and other subjects for the policemen's nets to gather in? If $250,000 go over the counters of the rum sellers in one day in New York City alone, who will due to assert that workingmen do not pay one-fifth, or $50,000 of that stun ? If workingmen in Ni w York City spend $50,000 a day for drink, they spend $300,000 a week, leaving Sunday out. In four weeks they spend $1,200,000, over twice as much money as was paid into the General As aernbly of the Knights of Labor in nine years. In six weeks tiny spend $1,800,-000, nearly three times as much money as that army of organized workers, the Knights of Labor, have spent fr. m the day the General Assembly was first called to order, up to the present day;and in one year the workingmen of New York City alone will have spent for beer and rum $15,600,000, or enough to purchase and equip a first class telegraph line of their own; $15,600,000 enough to invest in such co-operative cut' rprises as would forever end the strike antl lock out as a 11 eai s 1 f settling disputes in labor circles. Mes sender V.M.C.A., San Francisco. — God does not always refuse when he delays; he wants to cultivate our desire for the good we ask, and our perseverance in seeking it. The goal of yesterday is the startingpoint of to day. Lowliness of heart* unassuming, is the highest dignity. �17 THE FRIEND. Central Union Church Annual Reports.

The Future of Our Sugar Industry. An essay of some length was read by Mr. Walter Frear before the Social Science Association of this city, and by special request, was published in the P. C. Advertiser. It is mainly devoted to a discussion of the effect of the McKinley Tariff upon our Sugar industry. The discussion seems careful and thorough. We can only state very briefly the writer's conclusions. He thinks the bounty to American sugars unconstitutional, and not likely to be long continued. He also doubts the constitutionality of the retaliatory provision, empowering the President to reimpose duties in certain cases, Congress probably having no right so to delegate their own powers. As to the loss to be sustained by our planters in consequence of the removal of Protective duty, in the benefit of which we now share, it will be somewhat less then our present gain from Protection. The coming cheapness of sugar in the United States will vastly increase consumption, and somewhat increase the price for producers. In 1886 the Americans consumed but 54 pounds per capita, while the British getting sugar two cents cheaper, consumed 74 pounds per capita. Thus, with cheapei sugar and rapid increase of population, American consumption is likely to outstrip production. Probably 750,000 tons would be added to the consumption in the States during the tanning decade. The production of beet sugar in Europe is likely to lose the immense stimulus hitherto given to it by bounties on exported sugar, while European home consumption will increase by a lowering of the excise All this is in favor of prices to product rs generally. But these islands will n"W have to compete on equal terms with producers of sugar in Brazil, West Indies and elsewhere. On the whole, we are to expect a heavy reduction of prices and of profits, but not equal to (he removal of duties. On the other hand, we shall be more certain of what we are to receive. Improvements will continue to be made in process's of cultivation and manufacture, as well as in facilities of transportation. With our opening railroad age, the coming cable, new lines of steamers, and the Nicaragua Canal, Mr. Frear thinks our outlook by no means a dismal one, although the blow of the new Tariff upon our industries is very serious. �18 THE FRIEND.
