Honolulu Letter In the Sun.
No bettor Illustration ot what the
term expansion means can ho had than
by a comparison of the Hawaii today
with tho Hawaii ot six years hko. It U
nlmost incredible to see what n sub
stantial and rapid pW'ress has been
made throughout Hawaii slnco an
nexation to this country. Heforo an
nexation there was complete prostra
tion of every kind. Now all Is chunged.
Much ot tho old poetic, picturesque
life remains. These stalwart Hawaii

flaming holoku which so becomes her,
wreathed and crowned with lols; tho

sue their vocations also decorated with
flowers Tho sound of the taro patch

ot shndowy alporoba. and the strains
of ' Hawaii Potior yet delimit tho
heart. Hut, with the old there Is a new
and virile Hawaii, the natural and In-
jevltnble successor of that which ha
'served his time. Honolulu Itself has
changed astonishingly. Fine business
blocks hao already supplanted the old
buildings and the others are in process
of construction; the stores are crowded
with the latest fashions in millinery
nnd dry goods; In the ilne.well-appolnt-
ed book stores "David Harum," "The
Hough Hlders." and "Prisoners t
Hsie." ore placed conspicuously on
sale, while tho windows are filled with
wonderful photographs illustrating the
recent overflow of LMauna Lou. In one
street gangs of workmen are laying
the track for a new rapid transit line
to bo operated by electricity; In others
the new sewer Is being constructed
which, when completed, will make
Honolulu one of the most sanitary
cities In the world.

The sewer work hns been planned
nnd supervised by a firm of competent
American engineers nlons decidedly
original lines. Tho sewage could not
be drained into tho linrbor, which Is
land-locked, and where thev Is not
BUlIlcient tide to curry it out to sea.
An enormous tank has been devised,
therefore, into which the city's sewers
will be emptied and the sewage will be
forced from this, by a series of power
ful pumps, beyond the reef into the
ocean, where it will be carried away.
It will not remain to decay and pol

INOItEASK IN SHIPPING.
The Increase In shipping can hardly
be estimated; there aro live steamers
nowadays where there was one live
yeais ago, when the Oceanic lino nnd
the China mail had a monopoly. Now
these old and excellent lines are add

fleets and, in addition to these, there

ruplcd within the past olx months,
Tho Moana, a large steamer formerly
operated by tho Union line, of Now
Zealand, which co-operate with the
Oceanic company In Han Francisco,
has been scarcely able to .carry her
cargo during her Inst few-voyages. On
tho last trip every Inch of available
space was filled, to such an extent that
sho was unable to carry the usual sup
ply of coal, having been detained In
Honolulu twenty-four hours to fill her
bunkers upon which her freight had
encroached. What is true ot the Mo
ana has been true ot others, and. In
some cases tons ot freight have had to
bo left behind In San Francisco for
which no room could be made.
Tho increase In the number of sail
ing vessels has been proportionately!
great "It far exceeds tho halcyon
dnys when whaling ships Jay side by
side along the wharf, for the distance
of a mile, so close that a man could
step from one deck to another. For
now they cannot even get Into tho
dock, but mm t wait their turns outside
a detention of sometimes of four
weeks duration. Tho question ot
wharfage Is a little serious, for while
tho dock can be, and Is being lon
stnntly extended nnd Improved, it has.
Its limitations that cannot be over
come. It seems a little too bad, In i
view of this, that our Navy depnrB
ment, instend of utilizing the splendid
possibilities of Pearl Harbor should
bo expending money for the harbor In
Honolulu, which Is nlrendv so crowded.
It Is snd that the United States ban
been influenced by the fact that the
land ndjacent to Pearl Harbor has
ben brought by n syndicate which
holds the tract at such an exorbitant
figure the government will ro.tponu
purchasing until more rens'onablj
terms are offered'. This may be true,
but Pearl Harbor Is needed, und needed
bndly. so that all the space In tho
harbor nt Honolulu may be left for
the merchant marine.
Meantime a giant dredge Is In opera
lion at the foot of Richards street
and the wor of excavation for now
slips In that comparatively unimprov
ed part of the harbor Is mal.lng excel
lent progress. The dredge has n ca
pacity of two tons, and hoists three
loads, or six tons of earth and stone, a
minute. The work begun will bo com
pleted In March and will cost $27:1,000.
rUTOAU INDUSTRY.
Of course tho leading industry of
the Islands, sugar planting, has had an
enormous stimulus, and people of mod
erate nieana have grown rich witl.ln
the past year 'by buying nnd sellln,
stocks. New plantations are being
opened up, with capitalization running
up Into tho millions. On those where
irrigation is used tho mostly costly nnd
perfect machinery Is employed pumi.s
that force a stream ot water to the in
credible height of six hundred and even
eight hundred feet a thing hlthe.to
believed to be Impossible. This lus
redeemed the highlands which have
been supposed to be unclalmable and
has added to tho arable lands through
out the islands.
The yield hns almost doubled In tho
Irrigated lands where cane culture Is
carried on In the most scientific man
ner. The Planters' association which
represents the combined sugar inter
ests of the island, employ an expert
who had his training In one of our
western experimental stations, nnd he
makes soil and fertilizers his chief
study, and tho subject of constant ex
periment. In 1S91 a plantation in
Oahu, not far from Honolulu, yielded
six tons of sugar to the acre. This
was considered extremely profitable.
The plantation now averages ten tons
to the acre and the best of the land In
unusually favorable seasons has been
made to reach the enormous yield of
fourteen tons to the acre. It was cap
italized only a few years ago at $500,
000, and today It represents a capital
of $5,000,000, while It wields a dividend
of thirty per cent, to the fortunate
stoek-ownerc, who have been made
rich.
Indeed, the sugar industry is hardly
past its Infancy, and the future of these
great Hawaiian plantations can hardly
be forecast. It has rather cast coffee
growing In the shade, which Is rather
a pity, since no coffee In the world, not
even that which passes for Mocha, can
be compared, in strength or flavor, to
the Konc coffee, Indigenous to tho
Islands. This, however, will improve,
and no doubt when the same energy
and knowledge are brought to bear,
coffee plantations will rival the cane
fields. One difficulty has been that at
least three years must elapse before
capital Invested In coffee yields nny re
turns. CUSTOMS RKCEIPTS.1
The receipts at the custom house in
Honolulu constitute perhaps the best
Index to the prevalent nnd Increasing
prosperity which Is a direct outcome of
annexation. The receipts for the month
of June, l&DS, wero $72.3IS.3C. For the
month of June, 1899, they were $9S,3Sf.02,
an Increase of $26,000. In July, ISffS, the
receipts were $G1.2S5, and for the month
Just ended $91, MC, an Increase of over
J $30,000. The advance Is not confined to

Joy 5n God's Howise.
PSALM CXX 11: 1-9.
-- -
BY J. E. GILBERT, D. D., LL. D.,
Secretary of American Society of Religious Education.
INTRODUCTION The Psalms were
th" hymns of the Jewish church. They
were written by various persons living
between tho time of Moses and tho
time of Ezra. It Is believed that they
Wero collected In the library of the
temple by Neheinlah, who called them
' the sons of David." That title was
highly proper, for, although David
composed less than half of the whole
number, he was tho most eminent of
tho writers, gaining In his life-time
the title "sweet singer of Israel." More
than any other he was open to all the
emotions of friendship, love, generosity
nnd worship. In the Septunglnt the
collection Is cast in live books, tho
Psalm before us being in the last book.
It will be noticed that fifteen ot them
120-131 bear the designation a "Song of
Degrees." There Is some difference of
opinion concerning this expression, but
by far the greater number of scholars
think It denotes that these Psalms
were sung by the people us they Jour
neyed to tho religious festivals at
Jerusalem.
INVITATION. (V. 1.) Three an
nual pilgrimages to the Holy City were
required of till the male population.
(Deut. xvl: 2C.) Some times pious wo
men voluntarily Joined In the Journey,
although no obligation was laid upon
them. This was the case with Hannah
(I Sam. I: 7, and with Mary, the moth
er of our Lord. (Luke II: II, 42.) The
people of the same neighborhood and
the different branches of the same
family would go together In smull com
panies for mutual aid and prot-.ilon,
encamping by night in the open field?.
And at the evening and morning wor
ship they would unite In uppropiiare
song. Our first verse declares the glad
ness with which men heard from their
neighbors an Invitation to enter into
company with them for this purpose.
The very suggestion of the journey
awakened Joy In their hearts. Theio
was nothing irksome or wearisome
about It; on the contrary. It was : de
lightful hour.
ANTICIPATION. (V. 2.) Th Joy
ous heart outruns the feet. All the
weariness of the way to be tweleil Is
forgotten because of the good expected
at the end. The Psalmist's joy at the
Invitation Is therefore explained by his
anticipation. He was going to Jeru
salem, the sacred city. He and his
companions shall uctually enter. They
shall not stand without and gaze upon
It, but they would pass through Its
gates and walk Its streets and view Its
palaces. The emotions here experi
enced were not unlike those of the
saintly Payson, who, when approach
ing the end of life, said: "The celes
tial city Is In full view. Its slums
beams upon me; Its breezes fun me;
Its odors are wafted to me; Its
sounds strike upon my car; and
Its spirit is breathed Into my
heart. Nothing separates me from It
but the river of death, which now ap
pears as an Insignificant rill, thu. may
be crossed nt a sinsle step, whenever
God shall give permission. Massed be
God, I shall soon bo at home."
ADMIRATION. (V. 3.) -The Psalm
ist next contemplates the condition of
the city into which he expects to en
ter and presents the reasons for his
rejoicing over his anticipated visit.
Honolulu In the Island of Ohau. All the
Islands have felt the good effects of the
strong power that must henceforth
shape their destiny. It is especially
marked on tho Island of Hawaii and in
tho village of Hllo, where new houses
and business blocks are being built and
all kinds ot necessary public Improve
ments aro being pushed forward. The
educational Interests of the country are
advancing with Its material growth;
new? school houses are being built,
beautiful In their architecture and per
fect In all their appointments. At pres
ent the Hawaiian Teachers' association
Is holding its annual meeting in the
High school building, which was the
former home of Hawaiian royalty, upon
whose gilded ceilings aro emblazoned
the now obsolete royal arms. There,
the casual visitor may seo gathered
dally, a, company of teachers whose
like will probably never bo found else
whereChinese, Japanese, Hawaiian,
Portuguese, negro, American, German,
English nnd Scotch. These men and
women are peaceably and thoroughly
solving the problem that vexed the
souls of tho opponents of annexation,
the unification ot tho mixed population
of Hawaii.
EXPANSION A SUCCESS.
From nil this it will be seen that ex
pansion, so far as Hawaii Is concerned
Is destined to a degree of success that
even the most sanguine hardly fore
saw. Two things are needed a cabin
connecting the Islands with the main
land ns they now call it, with a dell
cate and Incomprehenslve felicity of
expression, and ns complete union with
the United States as at least cur ter
ritories enjoy.
It rcoulrej! no great power of
prophecy to forecast tho future of this
favored land. Within twenty years It
will bo a paradise, crowded with happy
homes, every foot of its fertile soil
under cultivation nnd hero nt the con
vergence of steamship routes from
Australia, the Orient, the NIcaraguan
Canal nnd the Pacific coast, will rl?n
a city fair to look upon, nnd great In
Its e'xtent nnd In Its wealth. All the
influences that promise such results
have now been set In motion and thte
Industries from which Its wpaltb Is
nlrendy and will continue to be de
rived are staple necessary commodities
that supply a demand in the ports, not
only of our own country but of all
Christendom.
MADE A GRAVEYARD.
Shrewd Move by Which an Ice Com
pany Thwarted a Railway.
From the Chlcugo Tnter-Oceau.
Though It took somo delicate work
to get a graveyard act through the In
diana legislature, the purchase of A
collego collection of fifty cadavers, the
digging of as many craves, and tho
careful marking of these Inst resting
places of unknown dead, a Chicago lco
company has balkPd tho attempt of the
Chicago and West Michigan railroad
In Its efforts to cut through valuable
sand pits owned by tho Ice comnanv In
Lake and Porter counties, Indiana.
Nothing but a grnveyhrd, with the
sentiments nnd tender memorles of
yeais clustering around It, would stop
Jerusalem was bullded like a city, not
like tho small villages that were to be
found In all parts ot the land. It wns
compactly built, one part bound close
ly to another part, not separated from
each other with Intervening spares.
The walls wero Joined together, and
tho bouses were united one to another,
expressive of nelghborllness and
friendship. The ground occupied by
Jerusalem could never be large, ns it
was surrounded by valleys, and
hemmed In with bills, so that from the
necessity of the case It was densely
crowded with people. All these facta
awakened admiration In thu hearts of
those who came from distant parts In
see the security, the life, the activity
and the social converse eoti where
apparent.
CONOTtHOATION. (V. 4A Hut,
great and attractive ns was the city,
the Psalmist wns moie in'ereslcd In
the people who would assemble there
on these feast occasions. They, would
come from tho noth, the south, the
east nnd the west, from all the tribes,
tho people of the I.o-.l. on? household,
made such by common descent n.i.1
common fnith. They would go up un
der the promptings of one high and
holy purpose, not for curiosity, or
pleasure, or money making, but for
worshin. They gathered nt Jerusalem
because there the testimony, or coven
ant, kept in the ark (Ex. vxl: 34.1 w.is
to bo found, the central und abid'ng
thins in their national history, by
which they were distinguished from all
other peoples of the earth. (Rom. ill:
2.) They gathered, moreover, to clvc
united expression of praise to tlu eo -enant
keeping flod, from whom lind
come their blessings. Peopl" of simi
lar Interests an 1 tastes desire fellow
ship. It was this spirit time made the
Jewish nation glad in these convoca
tions at their national capital.
JUDGMENT (V. ' )-Thero was
another, quite different, perhaps infer
ior, but nevertheless valid reason foe
holding Jerusalem In high esteem It
was the sent of judgment or jurtlce,
'the center of civil at well as religious
interests. Lesser causes were heard
in the gates of the small towns by the
elders (Deut. :xl.l9). but the more dif
ficult cases were ranted up to the
supreme court at Jerusalem. There
thronen or seats were established be
for which a hearing might be had
nnd decisions rendered by the mem
bers of the house of David, who were
esteemed to be superior In wisdom.
more disposed to equity. So that these
times of gathering tho tribes were oc
casions for tho settlement ot disputed
claims, the adjustment of dlsturbeJ
relations. The contestants, having
submitted their matters might go
home, believing that all popslble ha.l
been done to secure the right. So the
land might rejoice feeling that neigh,
bors wore made friend.?, old distur
bances removed, and that the way
was open for the exchange of those or
dinary courtesies that belong to so
ciety In peace.
TRANQUILITY. (Vs. P and 7)
Having thus expressed their nffectlon
and delight It wns natural that tho
people should desire the welfare of the
city, and that desire might well by
uttered in their song. This was beau
the progress ot the railroad. The Ice
company's patent cemetery Is now
beautifully planted out among the sand
dunes, with thirty corpses purchased
at $100 each from various institutions
in Chicago, and work on the railroad
Is at a temporary standstill.
The Chicago and West Michigan
Railroad company was anxious to ex
tend its lines to Chicago. It succeeded
in purchasing rights of way of a part
of tho route through Lake and Porter
counties, in Indiana. Hero the ice
company owns lnrge stretches of sand
dunes, from which is secures a supply
of sand, which it handles in connec
tion with tho ice business. The new
route as projected cuts through tho
most valuable parts ot these immense
sand deposits of tho ice dealers, and
they steadfastly refused to sell. Short
ly before the last session of tha
Indiana legislature the railroad an
nounced that It would commence con
demnation proceedings to get posses
slon of the laud needed for Its right
of way.
As a last resort the Ice company re
solved to found a graveyard, ami then
get a bill through the Indiana legisla
ture enjoining heartless rallrond com
panies from desecrating cemoteriea
A peats wero sent to public hospitals In
Chicago and neighboring cities and a
supply of bodies secured at the usual
htspltal rates. These wero packed In
boxes and Bhlpped to a little station on
the Michigan Central. From there
they wero carted to tho sand dunes
and burled nt night. Each grave was
ciietully marked with a wooden head
plect . the white Blabs being placed at
regular Intervals all over tho tracts.
To all Intents and purposes a grave
ard had been planted, nnd ns such
existed before the law.
While this work was In progress a
lobbyist was watching his chance at
Indianapolis. The "giaveyard" bill
was ono of those harmless measures,
apparently, that aro railroaded through
! at Pach pf,-sl01' t the legislature In
every state. The measure was care
fully prepared. Its provisions ap
pealed to the sentiments of the In
diana solons. Tho consent ot Repre
sentative Pearsons to Introduce the bill
was secured. Ho was innocent of tho
motives back of it. It was passed
without discussion, along with a lot of
other measures for pensioning veterans
and their widows and other benevo
lent purposes. The members thought
It was their duty to thwart the nttemnt
of some cold-blooded railway corpora
tion, which was trying to desecrate an
old-establlslK burying ground, around
which clustered thousands of tender
associations.
Recently the facts leaked out. and
the Import of the seemingly Innocent
measure has dawned upon the Indiana
community. The cadavers, saved from

tifully done In tho Psalm. Th?in
came first n solo part In which the
whole company Is urged to pray for
tho pence of Jerusalem, urging as a
reason that they who love tho cliy
shall themselves prosper. The response
wns In full chorus, "Peace be within
thy walls, nnd prosperity within thy
palaces." In thils are Included nit
classes of people, together with the
royal family, nnd nil manner of bless
ing. Tho ptayer Is for tranquility,
freedom from utiife nnd tumult, free
dom from nttnek of foes, nnd for those
innumerable comforts obtainable only
through the peaceable pursuit of tho
duties that pertain to the various rela
tions of life. This expression of loy
alty to tho rulers, of Interert In tho
capital, was well calculated to unify
the people and promote their happi
ness ns well as the stability ot tho
nation.
DISINTERESTEDNESS (vs. 8 and
3.) All th? holy affections and all lofty
desires must bo unselfishness. Nothing
so dwarfs and enfeebles the spiritual
powers ns to engage them In egotistic
purposes. Tho Psalm therefore closes
with a disclaimer and a profession of
disinterestedness, rendered responslvely
as was the other. The soloist declares
that ho desires the peace ot the city,
not for himself, but for his brethren
and companions. In the larger benevo
lenco ho Includes the whole congrega
tion. He thinks of Israel, gathered out
of tho different parts of the land, nil
assembled who hear and learn in this
way that he regards their welfare. But
they break forth in one grand chorus
declaring that they seek the good of
tho city, and will continue to seek It
because ot the house of the Lord their
God, tho temple which Is the place of
worship. Thus the hymn terminates
where It began. Whatever was said
about the city in tho intervening verses
must be interpreted by what Is said
In tho first nnd ninth verse concerning
tho sanctuary of the Lord. The Initial
and closing thought runs through the
whole.
CONCLUSION Inasmuch us the
American state and church are totally
separated, as we believe for the good
ot both, the reference to the adminis
tration of Justice does not apply to the
religious assemblies In this country.
Otherwise we have In the lesson n
statement of the motives, methods and
principles which ought to prompt and
regulate our public devotions. They
should bo seasons of great joy which
may be expressed very largely In song.
That joy ought arise out of a contem
plation of tho church, what it signifies,
what It promises. The re-union of
God's people In the place of common
resort, holding a common faith, pre
serving the word of truth, offering
praise to a common Father, ought to
furnish a large element of that joy.
The continued welfare of ZIon, 'its
peace and prosperity, ought to be ono
of the prominent ends for which the
assembly Is hold; and the unity of tho
people, the exchange of their greetings,
tho qfferlng of their prayers should bo
in thes plrlt of mutual love, each desir
ing the other's good nnd nil praying
for a blessing upon nil. This will result
