that are yet loaded with fruit and hang
them up in the cellar as many will

"A correspondent of the Net0 En-
gland Farmer says he doesn't see how
farmers can find time TO be idle at any
season, and especially in summer or
fall, when there are bushes to be cut,
stone to be picked, fences TO be built
and repaired, buildings to be erected,
wood to be cut and land to clear. Time
is money, to the farmer as to every one
else, and he is spendthrift who idles it
away.
Always select good ears of corn for
seed-the best you can find. Take
them from the stalks bearing two or
more ears. "A perfect ear" says the
american Agriculturisf, "has all rows
perfect, small butt end, the cob we'll
tipped out with grain and covered with
husks. the kernel uniform and we'll
ripened." The careful selection of ears
is one of the ways of improving the
quality and increasing the quantity of
future crops.
"A man who once gets thoroughly
into the work of breeding fine stock is
seldom willing to abandon it for some
other pursuit, no matter how lucrative
the new venture may be. The field it
offers for the study of scientific physi-
ology, the possibilities of combination
aud development, and the broad oppor-
tunities for experiment, are afforded in
no other business. There is fascina-
ton in the production of fine stock
which no other industry can claim. =

THE NATIVE PRESS.

There has bubbled up among some of the
people in this city painful report of the public
expressions made at the friendly supper given
to General j. NJ. Comfy, on the evening of
Thursday, Aug. 24th, in the Hawaiian Hotel
in regard to the annexation Of Hawaii to the
United States. We have fastened to make in
quiry in such quarters whence we were sure to
learn the truth, of those who went to that en-
tertainment, persons in whom we trust, born
in this land, having their homes and possessions
here They told us that no such thing had
been uttered, that they were satisfied with
constitutional government like this, but they
wanted an honest set of men at the head of
affairs, not a set of traitors who sought only
their own profit. When we heard this, our
agitation subsidized, because we have not the
least wish TO annex our beloved land where
rest the bones of our ancestors to any foreign
country, SO that strangers who know them not
shall disturb the repose of the dust of our fore.
fathers. But il portion of the deeds Of that
night are concealed from us, the Pae dina,
in its character as truly Hawaiian, declares
that this is the utterance that shall first sound
upon the ears of the nation, there is corruption
in the land if this novelty is to appear.

THE CORONATION or THE KING.

The legislature in its last session appropriated
and the government lately announced the 18th
of February next as the day when il is to take
place. One man told us that the
thing most greatly desired to be obtained by
this Coronation was to make him entirely sacred.
AT the present time, said our informant, the
King is not entirely sacred, but by being
crowned he will be made so, he will not be
seen by everybody, everybody will not be at
liberty to criticize him and his deeds, the ma
jesty and authority Of his differences will be
greatly increased, etc.
According to our observation, this thing is
not greatly approved of by the people. The
proposed crowning of the King is opposed by
the better thought of the majority Of the peo-
pie. This opposition, however, is not on ac-
count Of any opposition to the King, it is not
due to any contempt for the throne MOI this
is not due to any opposition to the Hawaiian
throne, nor to the king who is sitting on tina,
throne. But it is in opposition to the evil,
improper deeds which few are now attempt
ing and are trying to foist on the King while
attempting to lead astray his judgment.
Mr.. Gibson's newspaper has said that the
distinguished Personages of the great powers to
be invited for this performance are numbered
by more than thousand. To look at it, one
would think this work could not be done for
less than hundred thousand dollars. Is this
appropriate to our small government, with our
small, weak people, striving to live and to
grow?
1t is said that special session of the legis
lature is to be called for the Coronation. If this
is true, is it according to the constitution or OPP
posed to itf-hnokoa, Sept 9, 1852.

We beg to acknowledge, with perhaps
pardonablc pride, the daily congratulations and
evidences OF satisfaction felt throughout the
islands at the outspoken attitude, as also the
typographical appearance, of the Press in its
new dress, and the hearty support to our new
departure in the line and style Of advertise
men,s. That we should aspire for such a YER
dict as issuing "the best paper published at
these islands, both in tone and appearance,
was, in the minds of some an audacious aim :;
but it was with an honest desire to show that
no pains would be spared to merit the conf
dence and support of the community in the
length and breadth Of these Islands in our
labors in behalf of Hawaii's best interests, and
that the above opinion has been freely pro-
nounced, is proof in itself that our labors have
not been in vain. Our aim shall ever be such
as TO warrant the good will and support Of those
who have the welfare of Hawaii at heart, and
our tone such as to command the respect of
our opponents

HEEL4 RIOTS.

EDITOR Press 81 was not only surprised
ness of an article, bearing upon the recent
disturbance at Heeia, which appeared in
last weeks issue Of the T. c. 4. do not
blame the Editor of that journal, but / do
blame the individual who supplied him with this
"taffy." Let justice be rendered to whom it
is due, and not to the worthless hireiugs
whose bounden duty it was not to have allowed
things to go on as they had been doing for so
long period. 1t is a well known fact that in
that district a most infamous and corrupt form
of local government exists.
The principals engaged in illicit distilling,
sly grog selling and horse stealing, being use
full as henchmen at electioneering times, are
allowed every facility for the carrying out Of
their malpractices
Opium smoking, night gambling and general
drunkenness seem to have been the order of
the day, but never an arrest.
The able and energetic manager of the
Heeia plantation has been endeavoring from
time to time, by frequent appeals to the police
authorities Of the district, to remedy these evils
but without success. Things however were
brought to eliminating point, by party of
South Sea Islanders coming over from Wal
manalo for the express purpose of having a
good drunk, which they did with a vengeance,
and il is indeed wonder that some lives were
not lost, for, from one of the Waimanalo men
a loaded revolver was taken, with which he
had in his drunken excitement threatened to
take the lives of others. 1t was not until mat
tiers had reached this pitch and officers had
been telephoned for that deputy sheriff
Kaua was forced TO do his duty; the man
ager of the plantation having decided to leave
the plantation, il law and order were not estab-
lshed.
Captain Ross had, only the previous Satur-
day (he a6th), entered complaint to the
deputy sheriff about the drunken orgies Of the
South Sea Islanders which had taken place on
a5th friday and had given the names Of those
who were selling the liquor and the indirect
cause of all this disturbance, and yet no steps
were taken.
Saturday press. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1880-1885, 1882-09-16

The reasons for this gross and wilful neglect
of duty are very apparent and the common
talk Of the district.
1t was under Captain Ross directions land
not the deputy sherll's) and by the aid of a
few foreigners that these men were arrested
and taken away to the station house.
1t was Captain Ross, who | may say led the
deputy sheriff by the nose and showed him
where the liquor was slowed away. was
present and saw it,
My object in writing this letter is to convey
a true state of affairs at Heeia, and disabuse

wonderful deputy sheriff, who by the P. c. IL.
has been represented as such an efficient officer

Mr.. f. w. Damon returned last Sunday
morning from his very extended tour of Hawaii
and Maui, in the interests of Chinese mission
work. He brings with him a very cheering,
hopeful report of the manner in which the
Gospel leayen is working It's way among the
Chinese in different parts ofthe islands, amidst
the greatest obstacles; and in places too with
out churches or pastors, regular Sunday serv-
ices have been maintained. He also bears tcsti-
mony to the influences abroad among the
natives of the evangelical work that has been
going on for the past year, even to little ham
lets in Hamakua, Hawaii. For richness
of harvest gathering, as the result of direct
effort, Wailuku has been abundantly blessed

ment OF faith and purpose, where natives and
Chinese had joined together in the erection of,
and procuring charter, for church, now

A widow lady living on Mulberry
street, between Beal and Linden
streets, ownes q neat little two story
home. She and her family have taken
great pains to keep the place neat and
tidy, and to improve 1t. Lately she
decided to repair or put on a new
roof. The old one is of shingles. Not
anticipating any trouble, she bought
shingles for a new roof, and had them
placed in the yard. Learning that a
permit was necessary she applied to the
Legislative Council for permission to
replace the roof with new shingles.
This was peremptorily refused. Yet
the same council gave permission to a
wealthy firm to erect a new frame
house from the ground up on the cor
ner Of Main and Beal streets, and this
within a square or so Of the widows
house. There seems to be sort OF
confusion in this kind Of discrimina-
ton. 1t may be all right in both
cases and yet they do not seem to

ways, and with some sort of unaform.
