BIRDS.

EDIToR BULLETIN There is u way
open to the Government to gain a
little popularity, when they get money
enough to 90 on with, in the eXtirpa-
ton of some birds already here and
the replacement of them by others
more useful to the country. Rice
birds form one class that ought to be
cXtirpated as soon as possible. The
loss to the country from this one
source is exceedingly large-almost
incalculablc. No doubt other un-
desirable birds could be mentioned.
Then we want more birds here which
will cat insects on the wing. Such,
for Instance. MS would help to cXtir-
pate the cane-borer when in the moth
state. Many birds valuable for their
food or their plumage, too, could
he acclimatizcd here and would in
course of time add another source
from which to raise wealth for the
inhabitants and thus, indirectly,
revenue for the Government. Some
attention, also, might be paid to the
introduction of animals valuable for
their flesh or skin. As for trees and
shrubs the Government have already
attended to that and, under the able
management of Mr.. Jaeger, are
carrying on good work which will
ultimately be of the greatest benefit
to our island home.
NATURALIST,

THURSDAY. SEPT. is, 1884.
Mr.. ALIENS REMOVAL.

The Idcertiser, the only English
paper supporting the Government,
joins in the expression of regret at
Mr.. Aliens retirement, and acknow-
ledges that his adherence to prin-
ciple was the reason he was " asked
to abandon the important post which
he has held 50 long This is 4
creditablc display of independence
on the part of our contemporary,
which should 90 far in showing the
Government that its crime against
the public is also a fatal blundcr to
itself. The only apology offered by
the .1dcortiScr is in these words,
I'VE all know how, all over the
world, political heads are cut off for
political reasons" and nothing could
be more paltry. Moreover, the
statement is inaccurate that the rule
governing the tenure of public SER
vice the world over is, "To the vic
tors belong the spoils. 1t does
obtain TO an extreme degree in the
United States, making, more than
any other surviving abuse of its
system of government, that country
ridiculous in the eyes of the world.
II is not the adoption of any such
rule, however, that has led to Mr..
Aliens removal, or it should have
taken place when the present Minis
try took Office. Mr.. Aliens adj
herencc to principle, as the .ldcer-
hser admits, was his sole fault, and
it appears it is u fatal one in the
eyes of our present rulers. With no
one to say word in justification of
the act, the Ministry ought, in all
decency, TO rctracc the step and
restore harmonious relations with
the community so far as can he done
by the reinstatement Of Mr.. Allen.
Since the above was in type, we are
glad TO find that the universal indig-
nation over the outrage-as it is
generally held to be--has found
appropriate and powerful voice in a
series of resolutions passed at a
largely-attended special meeting of
the Chamber OF Commerce this
morning.

THE HOMESTEAD LAW.

EDITOR BULLETIN:-In your arti-
Gle on the Homestead Law, in the
BULLETIN some days ago, noticed
some misstatements which | should
like to correct.
The law is drafted, as you sug-
gest, in such q way as to prevent
speculation so far MS possible, but
the homcsteads are not inalienable
by the proprietors after they have
obtained Il complete title. The main
features of the law are these The
accepted applicant goes into posses
sion of his homestead under q written
agreement with the Minister of In
terror, by WHICH he has right of
possession for five years without
taxes and at the end of that time is
entitled to royal patent, in con-
sideraton of which he covenants to
build dwelling house on the land
within the first year, to fence it
within the first two years, to live on
the land from the time of the ercc-
ton of the dwelling house till the
expiration of the five years, to pay
the price of the land within the five
years or in lieu thereof to give n
mortgage therefor or for any unpaid
balance ut the end of the five years,
to pay interest upon the price of the
land semi-annually at the rate of ten
per cent. per annum, and that he
will not during the five years convey
his interest in the premises to third
parties. In case of the death of
the applicant during the five years,
his rights under this agreement
descend to his heirs at law.
Therefore, it will be seen that
there is no restriction of alienation
after the applicant has performed
the conditions and has obtained his
title, but that for five years from
the beginning of his right of pos
session his interests inalienable,
and this seemed necessary in order
to coniine the advantages of the law
to those only who, in good faith,
desire to acquire homes of theil
own. S. b. DOLE.

Board of Health could effect great
things ut comparatively small cX-
pensc to the country if it only shook
off its apparent indifference and
applied itself in earnest to the dis
charge of its functions. II does not

holders are compelled to keep their
premises in clcanly condition, the
authorities giving notice through the
police force and the press, at certain
seasons, that all refuse and rubbish
must be removed at certain date.
When the visitation Of epidemic dis
ease is anticipated or feared, the
cleansing process is prescribed
regardless of the season. Now, the
police of Honolulu have ample time
to serve notice at every door in
town, and the press would give
general notice for small outlay,
for thorough cleansing of private
premises, with as much public assis-
tance as possible. Then, surely
there are means enough at the dis
posal of the Board, including prison
labor, to clean up the streets. lanes
and public ground generally. As
TO the preservation of wholesome
conditions, we have heard doubts
raised Of the efficacy of any sewer
age system that could at present he

are not practicable, or would not be
efficient, then it is the duty of the
| Board TO seek other methods of get

obtained, which, in conjunction with

of Honolulu. With ships coming
here from all parts of the world,
and our nearest neighbor being in
some fear of q visitation from

of Health is nothing less than crimi-
nal. We have good deal of faith
in the power of wcll-directcd and
concentrated public opinion, and
belief in the existence of very
intelligent public opinion in Homo
