DISEASE
NATIONALITY.

The breaking out of the epizootic among horses
in Honolulu and elsewhere in the group suggests
the necessity of precaution in their importation.
1t would be proper measure to forbid their COM
ing from localities where the disease was prevail
ing. If the disease which has broken out here is
the same as that which prevailed over North Amer
ica in 1872 and 1873 and which spread rather by
contagion than by atmospheric influence, it will
be necessary to exercise great to keep it with
in bounds The epizootic at that period killed
four per cent. of all the horses and mules in the
city of New York, besides prostrating very large
number and seriously cripping the business of the
city for weeks Its prevalence here in severe
form would be disastrous and inconvenient in
many ways and should be promptly guarded
against Let il be remembered that the disease is
contagious and that the only safety is a strict
quarantine of the affected animals We hardly
dare to suggest that the Board of Health has any
responsibilities in this matter, but it will afford
an opportunity to our contemporary to again rush
to the rescue of the worthy Board, we think we
may venture. Of course, a horse is not a man. but
health is health, whether it be that of biped or
quadruped, and as there is no equine Board of
Health or other authority with the power of en-
forcing proper measures in this matter, we hereby
notify the Boardof Health that the eyes of the
nation in general and of horse owners In particu-
lar are upon them

In our issue of January 2lst, the subject of
immigration was briefly discussed. Refer
ence was made TO the desirability of popu-
lation of Intelligent farmers, owning or con-
trolling farms of from so to 800 acres, and it
was suggested that there are large tracts of
land belonging to the Crown and private par
ties which might be made available for this
purpose. The subject excites contempt and
i'll concealed sneers on the part of some people
There are also those who believe that if at
tainable it would induce better condition of
society than we now enjoy. But the matter
is too often dismissed as pleasant Dream"
or the fruition of an imaginative brain. His
tory tells the same story with regard to all
advances and improvements. Citations are
unnecessary, but we know the incredulity and
contempt which greeted the theory of COM
munication by electricity, or the application
of steam to machines. But these ideas and
thousand others were carried out for the sim
pie reason that it paid, and because there
were those far-sighted enough to know that it
would pay in spite of the seeming imposs-
bility of the ideas. Such persons had the
courage to contend for success regardless of
opposition. Looking forward TO the time
when our country shall be occupied by a
sturdy farming community need not be
pleasant dream only. If intelligent and prac-
teal men live here and choose to exercise
their wit and talent for this end its accom-
plishment need not be so very far distant
The lands referred to were Crown and pri-
vate lands. Perhaps there are not enough
available Government lands remaining to use
for this purpose There are more ways than
one by which our large private land holders
can be induced to use their lands for such
purpose. But these methods must look to-
wards making it pay, for we are hardly inno-
cent enough TO hope that there are land auto
Gratis who, from sheer patriotism, would
devote much land to this purpose without
seeing quick returns ahead. Most of our
large lands are now leased out for long terms
at rates which pay moderately. Let Unbiased
lands receive attention from the owners, by
subdividing into tracts of reasonable sizes
having reference to various needs, such as
water and wood, and then lease these tracts
for term Of years rent free, or at nominal
rental, till they begin to pay settlers, and then
they will pay larger rents than ever. Or let
lands be sold out TO settlers and cultivators at
fair prices, on the installment plan; first pay
ments to be made after a term of years, per-
haps. These are merely suggestions for fur
ther discussion, not well digested plans. A
man who owned large tract of land adjoin-
ing the Alameda-between San Jose and Santa
Clara, California-cut up the premises imme-
diately adjoining the street into good-sized
house lots. and then made free gift of alter
nate lots to persons who would construct fine
residences thereon. The result was that he
soon sold the remainder at far better prices
than he could before have obtained for the
whole.
Now let US look al the Grown Lands. Where
is the imlossibility here1 What is to pre-

KISss AND QUEENS, it is now universally
admitted, are part Of the growth and pro-
duct Of laws, or in other words, are sovereigns,
not by the grace of God, as the old phrase
was, but by the consent of the lawmakers.
The strongest sOvereigns to-day are not those
who personally tinker with statecraft, try to
control elections, and to obtain for ministers,
mobiles, legislators and other officials, plant
tools to crafty their whims and pleasures.
Those august Sovereigns, Empress Victoria
and Emperor William, sit securely on their
thrones, not because of their armies and ma
yies which avail against foes from abroad,
but because they attempt no personal rule,
and leave their ministers untrammeled in car
rying on their government. The personal
preferences of the Empress even in the choice
of her Premier, would not affect the matter
one whit Her Prime Minister is he whom
the country supports. The moral of all this as
applied to this country is plain. The contingen-
cy occurred for which the constitution required
a sovereign to be elected by the Legislative As
sembly. An elected even more than heredi-
tary monarch is strong, not by having in office
weak men who are but creatures of his will,
but by having there men who are fearless in
the discharge Of their duty.
Ii is high time for discussion in the press
as well as on the street. of certain public rights
and duties, and of the obligations or ties un-
der which the continuance of the former de-
pends on the performance Of the latter.

SMALL LANDED FREE-H -HoLDs--The present threat
ened famine in Ireland calls attention anew to the
superiority of that system of land tenure BY which
small portions may be owned in fee simple in con-
trast with large landed estates. While Ireland,
with its rack-rent and absentee owners, claims and
deserves our sympathy contrast with its condition
another not far distant British possession, the
island of Jersey. "Its cultivated land does not
exceed 10000 acres. With a population of 5000
there are $500 owners of land There are very
many estates in Ireland, belonging to individuals
of a larger size than either Jersey or Guernsey
farmed by tenantry almost as numerous as the
small owners of these islands. The dwellings of
vast number of small farmers in Ireland are
thatched. There are large families whose dwell
ings consist of one apartment in which cattle and
pigs are housed. In Jersey upwards of 1000 acres
are planted with early potatoes, at cost of cuti-
vation often of 900 an acre An acre of land suit
able for such cultivation is worth $1,000. On the
death of the owner of land, this must be divided
among the children, three-ffths among the sons
two-hfths among the daughters; the eldest son
having for special privilege the principal house
and two acres of land additional, and no daugh-
ters share being larger than sons share. The
testator has no choice. Such must be the distri-
button of the lands. Under this system the island
has fourished. Small but comfortable farm
houses are spread over the country. Perhaps no
population anywhere possesses collectively great
er aggregate of wealth one little seaport spent
8, 500 600 in improving its harbor. at the same
time there is scarcely any other place, where
population of equal numbers could show so
very few splendid fortunes The system corrects
itself. Where shares are SMALL the younger chill
dren do not think of farming them, but sell them
to the elder brother for m9ney or rents, and 90
into business It is therefore, so far from being
correct that estates reduced almost to nothing
that very few indeed can be found which materi-
ally reduced by positions, and whose relative
agricultural produce is affected by them"
ANUsExESTs--At the Theatre Thursday evening
last Under the Gaslight was performed to slim
audience, and on Saturday evening was repeated
to a full house, which the performance well de-
served. The parts were as general thing well
played, and the costumes and scenic effects better
than are ordinarily here, the most noticeable
defect being In the scene shifting which is always
drawback at the Theatre h Ii. S. Pinafore un-
der the supervision of Mr.. Berger viii be per-
formed on Monday evening next and the Homo
lulu public may look out for treat
= At Bufum's Hall on Monday evening. Zam-
loch, the Austrian Magician, gave to large and
rather bosterous audience, sample of his skill In
the conluring line. The entertainment was much
above the average performance of this kind An
entire change of programme is advertized for to-
morrow evening.

WRITER in the AtLmtic Monthly for jan
uary discusses in useful manner the much
abused saying that, all men are created equal.
He thinks it would be more profitable to act
on the fact of inequalities in the natural con-
ditiou of men at their birth as well as in the
circumstances of their lives. There is no
doubt false view of the doctrine of equality,
which is found to be impracticable, and which
tends either to discomfort with the world and
to communistic or socialistic attempts, or else
to utter despair.
By looking facts in the face and recognizing
the inequality among men which attends them
from the FIRST moment Of their lives, much
fruitless effort to reduce or elevate society to
one level would cease, and with it would dis
appear much Of that morose and morbid habit
which affects advancing civilization. If all
men were to-day alike in requirements of
wealth and education and were attended by
surroundings alike favorable, tomorrow morn
ing would find the usual number reduced to
beggary, crime and to all that results from
folly, sensual indulgence, ambition and selfish
ness, and let US say. from self-denial, genero-
sity, heroism and prudence
Cheerful content with ones lot is not incon-
sistent with steady exertion to improve it, but
the sooner we lay aside the idea that men by
reason of some original inherent law of their
being, or even from their own deserts, ought
equally to prosper in the world, the more So
Der and correct will be our views of human
life. We ought to regard prosperity as no test
of moral, social or intellectual worth. Ger
tainly no one has an inalienabe right to be
happy. Cheerfulness and contentment how
ever are blessings always attainable and far
more helpful and useful than is the spirit of
mal-content.

THE old time admonition TO voters, to vote
early and vote often, would we suspect be un-
needed in this community. But all should re-
member that the right of voting carries with
it duty to exercise and wisely to exercise
that right.
The selection of two instead of three for
eign candidates for Honolulu would undoubt-
tedly have been better. The canvassing of
foreign voters in Honolulu which the Adrer-
tissr seems to regard as SO ominous and so full
of evil tendency, was simply to ascertain
whether the majority preferred Mr.. Sheldon or
Mr.. Green.

vent the Legislature from enacting law,
divesting these lands from the Crown as in
alienable property, guaranteeing in return
therefor perpetual income of $4,000 to $4,000
a year. There can be no question that as far
as the Sovereign is concerned, such method
would be more satisfactory than the ever un-
certain question-how much the lands might
produce from year to year, 1t would pay
also for the nation, for these lands would sell
to day for SUM which at five per cent. would
probably produce $4,000 per annum.
There is no impossibility about it if the right
men can be found to do it, who are possessed
of spirit of far-sighted patriotism. 1t will
not be done however while those who prefer
monopoly are able to control, and it only need
be attempted for such persons to show them
selves. 1t can not be said to-day that we are
controlled by men of such selfish nature and
shorted- sighted policy: but if anything shall
be done to strike at the principle Of monopoly
such persons will develop their characters,
and the country will not be the worse for
knowing who they are.

On Sunday the sth of FEBRUARY next at 10 O'Clock
a- N. in the Catholic Cathedral of Honolulu the
right Reverend Father Hugh F. Gallager, of San
Francisco, will make a calm exposition of a lead
ing point of Doctrine, from a broad and liberal
Catholic view. The Reverend gentleman has the
reputation of being an eloquent preacher, and the
sermon will be delivered in the English language,
thus giving our foreign residents opportunity to
hear one of Caiifornia's most eloquent diyines.-
PC. 4.
: It was announced at the High Mass in the Cath
olic Cathedral on last Sunday, that the Sermon
above mentioned would be the occasion of taking
up collection for the people of those districts Of
Ireland whose inhabitants are suffering from fam
inc. The failure of the crops for two years, and
the incessant rains have worked the entire ruin of
these districts, being deprived of both food and
fuel La Grandeur the bishop, in announcing and
recommending the same before the evening serv-
ice, made some very appropriate and touching
remarks. The suffering of the gallant Irish peo-
pie have inspired sympathy all the world over and
these Islands will not fail to initiate the example
at last We hope.

RULES OF ORDER.-That which ought to be a
help in the discharge of business, by that tend
ency of perversity which is ingrained in human
nature, may become only hindrance. Rules of
order, which were designed TO facilitate the dis
patch OF business, may be perverted to delay or
prevent altogether the designed end. Perhaps be-
cause the English Parliament system, in its in
ception, was designed to be not so much legis-
latiye machine as a check upon the Executive
power" it has been possible for few members,
belonging TO the Irish Home Rule Party, TO block
all legislative proceedings till some measure of
theirs was, as matter of compromise, accorded
favorable consideration The United States
House of Representatives are Just considering
a new code of rules, only the second drawn since
the original organization of that body. Yet the
power of the minority to delay the action of the
majority is, on the whole, increased by the pro-
posed new code, with one exception. The previous
question may, by the new code, be applied by the
majority to each successive amendment. Here
tofore this gag could not be applied without send
ing the entire measure TO a vote excluding any
further debate or amendment.

RACE CHARAcrERIsTICs.-Quite as important as
any question of physical adaptation to soil and
climate for our Board of immigration TO consider,
are important questions lying back of physical
vitality, relating to inherited dispositions. Are
the Portuguese, who have lately come among US,
up 10 the standard of cleanliness, an absolute
not . relative term? Clean does not mean little
dirty. Has the Chinese more or less of that ele-
more or less prone to sexual eXeesses than some
races that might be named? 1t is well to consider
how intimately connected some vices are, so that
if we notice one may be sure another is not far
of. Ever since Jacob denounced his first born
for his instability and hcentiousness, history has
recorded how these two vices go together. If an
individual is guilty of self-abuse, he may Ger
tainly be charged with falsehood also. The two
60 together. licentious man or race is untrust-
worthy.
The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1880-02-04

PosT OFFIcE REGuLArIoSs.-The British Post
Office, unlike most other departments of govern
mental administration seems to be inspired with
the laudable ambition of ministering most aGvan-
tageously to the public convenience. But other
post offices seem to be managed under the idea
that the public is the seryitor of the postmaster.
Some recent postoffce rulings IN the United
States have been as detrimental 10 business inter
ests Capt Cobb's carrying off the pilot instead
of the mail bags from Honolulu last month The
Boston postmaster undertook this month to charge
periodicals., mailed from the Office of publication
for the Hawaiian Islands, at the rate of 1 cents
per number instead of the rate heretofore paid by
the publishers, 2cents per pound. We are glad to
learn the imposition successfully resisted. By
the way who can tell what is the ruling of our
Postmaster General in regard to postage on peri.
odicals from the United States? Do we pay cents
a pound or 4 cents an ounce?
