will be noticed that the grub, on
leaving the cane takes shelter in old
rotten cane stumps. This was SO
regularly the case, that the gentleman
referred to suggested the burning off
of old pieces that had been much
infested by the borer as a good means
Of destroying this pest. Megass
lying on the ground would of course
afford as good a shelter for the grub
as the old cane stumps, in fact would
be much the same thing, and we have
little doubt that this observation lies
at the bottom of the story about the
megass breeding grubs. The whole
objection then amounts to this, that
if you have a piece troubled with
"borer' and you spread megass on
the surface, you provide a shelter for
the grubs which they might otherwise
have had to hunt for, and to a small
extent you encourage them; but if
your piece is not SO troubled then you
certainly do not introduce the "borer'
by spreading the megass on the land.
And lastly, ifyou bury your megass,
the objection, such as it is, vanishes
altogether. This conclusion we put
out without any pretence to scienti-
fic accuracy. Injurious insects are
many, and it may be that there are
enemies attacking the cane plants diff
ferently from the "borer' and having
a different history. We are quite
open to learn about them; but what
we now insist on is the simple fact
that grubs are not to be found in the
megass at the stations, which any,
body cal easily verify for himself, and
therefore that they cannot be con-
veyed in the megass to the fields.

have received the telegram announce

AGRICULTURAL NOTES.
for the Colonial Councils Ordinary

The showers of last Tuesday may
be described as coming just in time
to ave us from serious trouble.
Leaving out those showers, there
were not for the whole month Of
August more than four or five lines
of rain. The weather was besides
very hot. A clear sky with a few Of
the regular trade-wind clouds scatter
ed here and there, and gentle winds
from the east and north east being
the daily condition. Only in the mid
die of the month there was a promise
of a change. From the 18th to
the 10th there was heavy wind COM
menclng from north of east and veer-
ing to south of east, indicating
apparently that we were on the edge
OF a circular storm having its centre
far to the south. A sudden and sharp
rain squall from the southeast on
Monday 10th, ended this stormy
spell. The squall was Immediately
followed by a calm, and the weather
was again very hot and dry until
Tuesday last, when tho wind went
round to the south and there were
several heavy showers, giving In the
centre of the island 10 lines, in the
north west Is lines, at Two Williams
II lines, and towards the East much
less. This fall was very welcome to
the planters, especially throughout the
Western half Of the island, where
we may say hat the weather has now
been dry for three months. Although
the young plants were looking bright,
little growth was being made, while
the ratoon canes were in many places
beginning to turn yellow. People
who only see the neighbourhood Of
Basin have no idea how near we
were to a great danger. This dis
trict was a little more favoured III
June that the centre and west, and
what little rain has fallen has come at
fortunate intervals just in time to
keep the guinea grass and small vege-
tation looking bright, although not
sinking deep enough to be Of much
service to the canes. The showers
we have now had have removed the
danger for the present, and we must
only hope that a continuance of
favourable weather will remove it
altogether for the season.
If the weather has discouraged the
canes, it has also discouraged the
weeds, and there has not been that
pressure on the planter to clean up
his pieces, which when it comes dis
tracts and %rejoices him at the same
time. AS in the previous month,
manuring has been a leading opera
ton. We have been counting the
estates where megass is being tried,
and find that we can name seven
where it is being applied on a large
scale, and where, unless we are great
ly mistaken, it ought to make a per-
ceptible difference in the returns.
This is an old string we are harping
on, but there are still one or two

short tunes to be strummed on IL
before it is put aside. An obstinate
theorist and an obstinate practical
man are both very Objectionable per-
sons, and what is curious to observe,
there is 10 greater theorist than your
self proclaimed practical man. lie
will capsize your theory with a bold
assertion. honestly made too, ana put
before you as the plain result of his
experience; but when you come to
look into it you find it is a mere theory
of his, which he has picked up, OF
invented on some very shallow
foundation. We are thinking OF
course of the megass question.
II wouldn't have it on the land II
you we're to cart it for me-" says one
why not? You ask. :" 1t breeds
grubs." AS you do not know to the
contrary, the conversation m
with the triumph for the time being
of the grub theory. The writer OF
these notes has, however, long suspect
ed this grub theory Of being hollow
inside, and now thinks that he has
raped it hard enough to hear a ring
that does not come from solid stuff.
In plain words we have been exam
ming the megass at the stations to
see if we could find any traces OF this
alarming grub, and we find HIM rot
At Glynn and Peters Rest where the
megass is being removed in consider
able quantities we have made a
patient personal search, but the sup
posed enemy is not to be seen. we
have backed this by inquiries OF the
cartmen, who at Peters Rest told us
they never see a grub, and at GIynn
one mar said that he had seen one
now and again. "Ahw says the grub
theorist, chat last admission trips you
up, for don't you see hal if you bury
a few grubs they will multiply and
you will have your land full Of them"
But not so fast my friend, these grubs
can't multiply You might as well |
put a pair of hens eggs in a nest and
expect them to multiply. Just as
the egg is an imperfect, undeveloped
stage Of the fowl, so the grub is an
undeveloped stage Of a flying insect,
and cannot breed till it comes out
from the megass in its perfect form
Even then the perfect insect will not
lay her eggs in the megass, but Will
fly off and in due time deposit them
elsewhere. AS the grubs are now
only to be found very rarely IN the
megass, and cannot multiply, we
would like to know how the megass
can be accused Of bringing them into
the land. We suspect then that the
objection in question rests on a very
slight foundation, and we think we
know what that foundation is. A
friend of the writer, who had given
some attention to the "borer," told
him that he thought he had succeed
ed in tracing out its history. The
perfect animal is a beetle, that is q
flying insect having its two Tying
wings protected by two hard wings OF
cases which cover them. 1t belongs
to that division Of the beetles known
as weevils, in which the heaC
is prolonged into a hard point
or beak. The female "borer" drills
a hole in the cane rind and deposit:

AFTER the various public meetings held in the
course of the last few days and the change in the
Cabinet announced in Difference TO the universal
opinion of the public, it cannot be denied that
there remains still a general feeling of suspense
and insecurity but the worst feature of the whole
commotion is attempt to represent the crisis as
difference between the various nationalities which
make up this community.
We protest most emphatically against any
endeavor to set race against race, Hawaiians
against haoes or vice versa the hopes and indeed
the fears, the interests, political social, and mer-
camille of all are identical, and may be briefly
summed up as being simply desire on all sides
for stable trustworthy government composed Of
men, who under conscientious sovereign, are able
TO command the respect and confidence of the
public. Again we say that the worst that can be
done by enemies of Hawaii is to endeavor to set
race against race when all independent thinkers
are agreed that Hawaiian, American, British or
German interests are inter-dependent and that to
injure one is to inlure all. 1t is incontestable,

cation, but more probably by the possession of
fluent tongue and keen power of insight as to the
most assailable point in the Sovereign's character
The adroit Favorite promises power to the would
be absolute, wealth to the greedy, or pleasure to
the sybarite Sovereign, and it has SO happened
that for time, the Favorite, backed by his Mas
ter has seemed as if about to succeed but no surer
Nemesis ever dogged the footsteps of wrong-doers
than the fate which follows fayorites and their
Patrons. In English history Edward IL IN the
XIV Century, (not TO go farther back, was de-
ceived by his foreign favorites, deposed and muir
dered, while they ended their worthless career
each in the hands of the executioner. Precisely
the same fate befell Richard Ii. and his favorites
The Tudors were an imperious race who ruled
their favorites, the Stuarts on the contrary were
feeble race who we're ruled by theirs, and OF tnen
two lost their crowns and one his head, third
passed considerable portion of his time IN exile
So able man and successful a King as William
III. was brought to book by the House OF Com
mons and obliged to recall some OF the grants he
he had made to his countrymen, notwithstanding
the good services they had rendered to their adop
ted country. Poor Queen Anne was nearly dragged
off her throne by the tussles of rival Favorites.
The most recent case we need TO quote was IN the
DAYS of George III. of whose Favorite historian
wrote:
There was no want of popular themes for invective
against his character He Favorte and Fsvorites
have always been odious, No mere Favorite had
been the head of the government since the dag
ger of FELTON, had resched The heart Of the Duke of
Buckingham After that event the arbitrary and
the most frivolous of the Suarts had felt the necessity
of conhding the direction of affairs to men who had
given some proof of parliamentary official talent
These men did not owe their eminence merely 70
the favor Of the Sovereign the contrary they owed
the favor of the SOVEREIGN to their eminence.
Now however the personal regard Of the King had at
once raised who had seen nothing OF public busi
who had opened his lips in Parliament over
the head of crowd OF eminent orators, fnanciers' d
plomatists.
From private gentleman, this fortunate minion had
at been turned into Secretary of State The vu
gar resored to simple explanation of the phenomenon,
and the coarsest ribadry against the Princess was
scrawlcd on every wall and sung in every alley.
There only few instances of the universally
baneful effects of Royal friendship unworthily
directed, to further the interests of men whose in
terests not in harmony with those of the pub

Ministers of State in France has been the princi
pal occasion of the revolutions which have dis
turbed the State for near century. Like causes
produce like effects, and these lessons of history
ought to be laid to heart.

A MOST extraordinary paper lin natiTe and in
English) was placed in the hands of every passer-
by last Saturday afternoon. We cannot con-
gratulate the composer on either his matter or his
manner. The document, if it may be SO called,
has neither rhyme nor reason, neither grammar nor
logic, neither wit wisdom, but is compilation,
half commonplaces, half contradictions, which
serve alternately to bewilder amuse the reader.
Passing over the bulk of the paper, which by
of the most conspicuous absence of reason and
grammar is almost unintelligible, we come to
comparison not only indecent but grossly profane,
in which certain individual, lately appointed to
and removed from a conspicuous public position,
is elegantly described as martyrized and then this
writer, whose object, nearly as can guess,
to be the defence of the new Ministry, thinks
to accomplish his object by calling the unfortunate
colleagues of the martyrized central figure the
MGIEFAcToRs. Let it be SO; may be the name will
stick, may be events will justify the phrase. This
manifesto as a whole stands self condemned; but
must call attention to two or three phrases, as
they show such an amazing ignorance of the first
alphabet of constitutional government. First it is
asserted that The Kings prerogative has been
encroached upon" This is directly the opposite
of the truth 1t Is the prerogatlve of a constitu-
tional King to appoint Ministers whose principles
of action are in accord with public opinion and
whose personal characters are such as to command
the public confidence, and it is equally the pre-
rogative of the people to demand that it be so.
Next, this writer says in his arrogant ignorance,
The Constitution does not grant the sUBJECT
right TO express his opinion of ceHsUe on Hrs Ma
JEsTY THE KING. 1t is right innate, inherent to,
and inalienablc FROM every free man, and is clearly
given by the Constitution. The long, long list of
"Monarchs retired from business in consequence
of their subjects exercising their right of censure,
might have taught the writer of the paper the folly
of such assertion as that which we have quoted.
A little further on, that which is called in the
earlier part of the paper IAN encroachment on the
Kings prerogatiye" is spoken of as 'usurpation
of popular rights! What does it mean One
more sentence: LET THE FOREIGN ELEMENT IN
THESE ISLANDS BEwARE!'' What does this threat
mean? The foreign element" needs no caution
from any 20 beware: they are fully alive to
the gravity of the situation and not inclined to
be told that they are subjects who have right to
express an opinion.

We devour every item in your paper with absorb

The Honolulu people have our fullest sympathy
and If that knowledge will strengthen their hands
any IL Is our duty to state it.
Honolulu is really the heart of Hawaii nei and
its pulsations felt robbing here the country
60 what the residents of Honolulu will do we
will endorse. Honolulu lives on the bone and
snew of the country and probably il is about right
that it should bear the brunt of the battle, in a
political sense. That the people of the Islands
were well satisfied with the late Ministry is fact
That the frequent changing of the Ministry is not
conducive 10 the stability of the government is
another fact. That appointing an alien carpet
bagger to the chief or any position in the Cab
met is il-advised, TO the mildest term, an
other fact. But to have men for the Cabinet de-
void Of dignity stability, energy knowledge of the
routine of their respective departments and a
sense of duty to their homes is an outrage.
The ridiculous farce of a Legislature Just ended
had worked the country up almost to bursting and
II merely required this last proceeding to split the

pointing Committee TO wait on His Majesty was
good, but the mass meeting might have selected a
Cabinet and the Committee have hfHted to His
Majesty that that Cabinet would be acceptable to
the people
History repeats itself, but this would not becom-
parable 70 the presentation Of the Magma Charta
to King John by his barons and yet the same cause

That, however was absolutism of hereditary
monarch In the thirteenth century, this of an

superhuous to assert.
