Acknowledgement Armstrong with the duty of
looking out for n favorable class Of immigrants
who can develop the vast tracts OF prolific soif
that are still uncultivated in the Hawaiian

and yet are a desirable population. So far as he
has examined. Acknowledgement Armstrong has
concluded that the Portuguese have the most
available qualifications. He thinks that the
native Hawaiians will have all disappeared in
fifty years. They are already decreasing. lie
finds it difficult to get Europeans who can endure
the tropics. lie has DO idea Of getting the cOlorcd

ton. His fugleman now says. after eleven days
thinking over our attack on the " water-tight"
~privy-pit regulation, that the Minister never
meant the bottoms Of p%rivies to be tight.
What does he mean, talking Of a tOatey-iighi
tub with the bottom out ? on OF a Dater-tigh pit
with only tight sides ? The official regulation
stated, and meant, no doubt, n water-tight recep-
tacle, both sides and bottom but, beginning TO
perceive that ho had made a mistake, he tries
the school-boy dodge Of saying that he never
meant what he said. The statement won't hold
