INTERVIEWING CONGRESSMAN AIKEN.-
Congressman D. Wyatt Aiken passed. through
the CITY on Tuesday night and was inter-
vowed by q representative Of tho Daily
Ne,os on the at present prominent topics,
without any worry startling resulte. He an
tioipates little trouble from Stolbrand's
contest, as Mr.. Calkins, chairman of the
elections committee, is, he says. q fair man,
and already in measure committed against
Stolbrand's claim. Colonel Aiken thinks
Stolbrand is principally after tho allowance
| usually mado to contestants for expenses. lie
| does not think cent Of tho cotton money
or of tho direct tax will over be retucned, but
| does think it possible that tho $4,000 Of
surplus over the diroot tax may be restored
and divided among it's many owners.

exodus he said if he had prayer to offer

mocracy meant the white man. IIo is not

Tho United States begins tho New Year
with public debt of Sl.7S5, ,4ol,7l7, or
about 5 | 900. 100000 less than the maximum
amount reached by tho debt in 1865. Our
national debt is now less than ono half Of
that Of tho United Kingdom, it is little more
than a third Of that of France. and among
other European nations it isexceedcd by tho
public debts OF Russia. Spain and Italy. The
debt of Austria and Hungary is about tho
same Us ours. Judged by any test Of the
ability of the pcoplo to pay It, the burden Of
the public debt of the United States is by
far tho lightest Of that Of my Of tho great
nations of tho world China alone excepted.
The most sanguine Of optimists would not
have venturcd to predict seventecn years ago
that tho extinction Of our public debt could
be effected within the lifetime Of genera-
tion and the most heroic advocates Of high
taxes would hardly have dared to defend tho
maintenance of systom intended to accom-,
plish such result

PETITIONING.

The right Of petition. the native
Hawaiian regards as one of his most
sacred privileges; he uses it on
every conceivable occasion. and will
sign unhesitatingly anything in that
line which is presented to him-or
if he doesn't sign himself, lac will
direct another to write his name,
which he considers amounts to the
same thing. We remember some
years ago noted wag in Lahaina,
on wager procuring several hun
dred signatures to a petition to the
Legislature for the building Of a
bridge from that town to the Island
of Molokai. Not quite so absurd as
that was the petition from Hawaii
which was presented on Monday, in
which some, fifty odd signers ask
the Assembly to appropriate half a
million of dollars to build a railway
connecting Hilo with Kohala. Not
but what such railway would be a
great good to not only the windward
side of Hawaii, but indeed the whole
group,-if we only had the money
with which to build it. The eigners
probably never gave a thought to
the question. as to where the money
was coming from; unless it may be
they were told that Government was
going to borrow ten millions, and in
that case they would unhesitatingly
beliesv tina, that the money could be
borrowed ~ easily as it could be
voted to do so.

THE sPRECKELs CLAIM.

The attempt ON the part OF the
Government to pass a bill to settle
Mr.. Spreckels' claim on the Crown
Lauds, created quite breeze in the
Assembly yesterday. Naturally
enough, members did not under
stand tho merits of the case, and
considering these lands as an inalien-
able appanage of the Crown, were
much excited over what they be-
lieved an illegal movement to sell
q portion of them to stranger.
The story of these lands is rather a
long one, but we will endeavor to
tell it in few words.
BY ancient usage, the King was
virtually the owner of all the lands
in the Islands. In lS48, kameha-
meha III generously gave the largest
portion to the people and the chiefs,
reserving for himself about one-fifth.
This was done in q formal manner,
and the deed is on file in what is
called the Mahele Book. The same
thing, nearly, will be found in the
Civil Code, pages 275 to 4o2. When
Kamehameha III died, he bequethed
his lands by will to Kamehameha Nv,
who always treated them rs his pri'
vate property. After the death OF
the latter, Kekuanaoa was his heir,
and after him, Kamehameha V, who
again was succeeded in the heirshiE
by II. ii. Keelikolani. But mean
time, in 1864, the Legislature passed
an Act declaring these private lands
the ownership of which had des
cended from Kamehameha Ill, K
be "Crown Lands" and forevsl
inslienable. 1t is difficult aow (
clearly comprehend how they ac.
sumed the right to thu intarfe''
with what was indubitaely priyat.
property. However, several years
since, II. H. Keelikolsni, Tor = vslu
able consideration, conveyed anl,'
rights in these lands to M. Sprsck.
els. That gentlem'r, Nnder ]ega
advice obtained hott, her
and in California, Is tov pressing
his claim or,the Government, beins
willing however to compromise
without litigation. Hence the bl
introduced by the Government
which proposes to give NJ. Spreck
els two large lands, one in Wailuku
Maui, and one in Kau, Eawaii, upol
his relinquishing all 1nrther claim
upon the Crown Lands.

respecting the land claims Of certain
persons. Referred to select Com

The Attorney General read first

sioners Of Crown lands, to convey
certain of those lands to Claus
Spreckels.
The bill was read second time,
under suspension Of the rules, and
considered in Committee of the
whole, Mr.. C. H. Judd in the chair.
Mr.. Plipo, in q violent speech
moved TO indefinitely postpone thi:
bill. II was in his opinion piece Of
treachery on the part Of Ministers
who were frightened at Clsu.
Sprecksls. He was sstonished al
them, and had thought them friends
Of Hawaii, but now he saw that they
were not.
After recess, the Attorney Gener
al gave full explanation of the his
tory Of the lands now known as th'
Crown Lands, which previously t.
1864 were designated as the King
Lands; and also stated in detail thu
circumstances which had led the Gov
ernment to bring in this bill.

(rrom our own Correspondcnt,)

(FrOm our own Correspondent)
Professor Zstfloch has been visit
ing the different districts here, and
has fairly astounded the natives:
there is no doubt about it he Is very
clever.
Having some business to do at
Hanalei l started over to that side
of the island, and was stopped and
had to dismount near Princeville
Plantation by large gate across the
public road. Now on 3rd June,
1882, proclamation signed by the
present Minister Of the Interior ap-
peared in the papers, stating "that
at the expiration Of one month from
date all distractions were to be re-
moved from Government roads. !"
/ therefore asked, what is the gate
doing there +? 1t is a very large
unwieldy one, and being at tho top
of hill is subject to the full force
Of the trades, rendering it both
difficult and dangerous to open with
out dismounting; several serious
accidents have occurred there. If
this is specimen Of the manner in
which the orders of the Ministers
are carried out in this country it is
no wonder that our statutes are
ignored in many things, and our
legislating is said to be a farce.
There are q heap Of obnoxious laws in
existence which are ignored by the
police, unless some spiteful person
puts that engine in force, and it is
time if we do not want to be the
laughing stock Of the world, that
our Penal and Civil Codes shall bt
purged, and when thoroughly
cleansed should be added to judi
ciously.
I went as far as Wanini to-day
There is a native school here a
which the attendance is very good
but / cannot say as much for thu
teaching. The master is or was
Minister here, but from what
heard he delegates most Of thu
teaching to boy or young man O
about l8, and remains at home.
On returning passed the Waiol
English School, and saw some mel
dragging away a dead horse. o,
making enquiry l found that th'
horse had been lying there in tn
one spot, unable to rise, withou
food, drink or medicine since Mon
