CERTAIN MEASURES.

The session of the Legislature being near ut

Particular attention. To the public health.

that 1t may be properly apportioned
Provide ample means Tor educating the youth
of the nation in the English Language.
Separate the Board Of Health from the Depart
ment of the Interior.
Widen aud deepen the trance of Honolulu

Ample appropriations for public improvements,

Provision for sending abroad more Hawaiian
youths, to he educated in America or England in
mechanics, law or physc.

panied with families
No government officer to fill two positions if the
pay for one shall amount to $500 pee annum.
In government appointments, preference to be
given to the natives of the SOIL those horn here OF
fofeign parents, naturalized foreigners, old resi-
dents, and those having vested interests, rather
.han to.strangers and passing voyagers.
The appointment OF COMPTROLLER of all govern
ment accounts.
lFrom the Eisle Poakolu.l
To Gun FRIENps;-s We are well aware
that among n certain sparse ring there exists
feeling hate of against US, but that ia not of the
slightest importancs for when tried in the scales
of fair controversy, their motives OF personal
pique and jealousy are Of no weight Not 81 how
ever with our just principles which have the warm
support of the Hawaiian people and some foreign
ers as we'll, who rush for the Eisie for informa-
ton, for discussion, and for a firm supporter of
Hawaiian Independence.
In these fair days of Hawaii's wonderful pros
perity, rejoice to know that the issues of this
our mouthpiece, increasing, that soon 1t will
be that no home will be without its pleasant face

The settlers along the Nootsa

The settlers along the Nootsack river
raised a large sum Of money, and let a
contract to one of their number TO cut
% channel around the upper jam in the
river. This ditch is half a mile in
length. and NJ the lower end of it por
ton of the jam has been cut through.
so IA TO make straight channel. Tie
water was turned in tho ditch last Men
day, and 1t is expected that during the
present high water the ditch will be
sluiced out so that the channel of the
river will hereafter run through it. II
this arrangement succeeds, the Moot
sack river will be navigable for light
draught steamers as far as the upper
crossing, a distance of over thirty miles,
and open up one Of the finest agricui-
tural valleys there il to be found in
Washington Territory. Settlers are
coming in rapidly and taking up homes.
There is still very large body of Gov
eminent land in this section yet uu-
taken, all of which is good agricultural
land. Settlers wishing to learn particu-
lars regarding these lands can be accom-
modated with all the information they
require at Eerndale, six miles above the
mouth of the river. A light draught
steamer will he built this season to run
on this river exclusively. 70 connect with
the Sound boats at Whascoin.
The principal trading point on the
river il Ferndale, where there il a store,
hotel, and new saloon, soon to be
opened by j. Il. Robinson. Mr.. Il. il
at present in Seattle laying in a stock
Of goods for his business.
The people of the Nootsack intend to
celebrate the Fourth of July in the real
old fashioned style, consisting of an
Grafton, declaration, picnic, parade of
tho horribles, and ending up with a
gTpnd ball in the evening. The cele
bration will this year bs hsld at Fem
dale.

These English steamers are bringing
TO our shores more Chinese than the
law allows. On trial they arc convicted,
and for each man in excess Of the pro
Per number they are fined go. On ono
steamer the aggregate Of these fines
Amounted 70 $1,000. on another to
5000 and on third to SIT 900. Appeals
for pardon are made in each case to the
President. II 10 certainly to 30 hoped
The President will mot heed them, IA
there arc no sxtenuating circumstances
whatever. In England only a month or
two ago Il vas decided by the Ministry
that American citizens had NO more
right 10 violate British laws than Eng.
lishmen themselves. So in this case,
Britiah ships should have NO privileges
In this matter that are denied 10 Amer
lean ships. II would not be quite SO
great An onsnss 10 the community at
large. II these steamers brought Euro.
psans, bnt when they bring Chinese it
10 aggravated in tho highest degree.
Bssidss, there IL no use having a sani
tary Law Of this character unless il ID
heedsd.

A, imperative necessity will soon s.-

An imperative necessity will soon e1-
ist for local division, to wit: tho divi-
sion Of the city of Seattle into three pre-
oinots for the purpose Of general elec-
tions. Tho city is already divided into
three wards, and for municipal
elections into three polling places.
For the latter there is not one-half
the need there is for three polling
places for general elections, the vote be-
ing only two-thirds as great, the ticket
containing not ons-sixth the names, and
the time of counting not being one tenth
that Of the general election. Not less
than twelve hundred votes may DO sx-
psotsd at the November election, and for
ono set Of officers to count 30 many, di-
vidsd among forty or fifty candidates, is
. job requiring ty-sight hours hard
work. Tho having Of more precincts
will also lead to the casting of more
votes, for it will diminish the excite
msnt around the polling places, lessen
the time required to vote, and prevent
the turning away Of busy individuals
who haven't quarter Of an boar to
waste IN such manner. This division
should be delayed no longer than is alb
solutely necessary.
