Fish Culture.

EDITOR GAZETTE 1.-The windy, squally weather
of the past few days has been bad for the shermen
yesterday there were no fish in the market."-P C.
4. OF Friday, I'd. Yesterday was no exception
to the rule-fOr long time there has not been an
adequate supply-and the cause is the resultant
enquiry. Let any one, of an enquiring mind, take
walk to the bridge near the prison, and he will
at once see one of the causes, and o most inns
portant one, viz the fine nets of the Chinese airay
set-that catch and hold the finest minnow-the
fry as they are called, the greater portion are
small mullet. The same complaint was made in
the California waters, and the lar there prohibited
the use of these nets. Can the same not be done
here! These small fish y are greedily devoured
by the Chinese, who are great lovers of fish and
they can be seen in any of the small shops in large
quantities, dried. Were these small mullets and
other fish protected by law, as they ought to be-
there would be scarcity of fish. But perhaps
the poor IN people who own the fishing rights =
monopoies, y would object to such projection as
il would certainly interfere with their revenues.
Why could a company not be formed to enter into
pisciculture n large scale? There is a fine
chance for such company, there are hundreds of
acres of fHie land which could be utilized Not
ably the tRe lands of the Messrs Wilcox, on the
property now occupied by Postmaster-Ge General
Whitney. There have been, in older times large
fish ponds there and there Is the largest spring of
fresh water, probably in this Kingdom. There
could be fish enough raised there to supply this
whole community. An experiment coald be made
with stocking this harbor with fish, II they could
be protected. / offer the above suggestions to
those who are able to undertake paying busi-
ness. T.

Rum and Education.

EDITOR GAzErTE:-AlaSawaO people are surprised
tl1t they are not tue recipients of a run license
lhey note that the neighboring district is to be
cursed with two licensed liquor saloons, and as
Na6avao has -ulfeied more than any other district
from neglect IN educational matters the pe1Dle
are anreeahy surprised that they are not TO be far
ther imposed on 10y having liquer saloons fosten

One OF your late correspondents admirably de.
picied the straits to which the children of Haiku
were put To- acquire an education, being forced to
creep INTO the basement Of a deserted sugar mill
ana SIT on boards laid on kerosene Cases. amid the
reeSing fumes Of decomposcd molasses and dead
cockroaches.
Those Of Hamakuapoko obtain the rudtments of

and few benches around the walls the hot sun

Ihe school taxes of Makawao must aggregate a
large sum aud although the the people have con-
tinually urged the government to erect cheap school
houses, and planters have proffered the land moth

are no funds"
The antagcnism between rum and education is
even understood by the Hawaiian Privv Council
and yet The President Of the Board of Educatior,
does not protest against himself as the member of
the Ministry who Is urging the extension of the
SAFE OF rum Consistency thou art a Jewell I'm
aeiue if you can, Mr.. Bishop or Mr. Hall as mem.

date named several local tenders are
LODGED. but not allotted. San Francisco
must be waited on again.
Why all this Difference to San Francesca,
but for the purpose OF fostering one great
monopoly.
Mr.. Stirling with Honolulu Surveyors,
capitalists and mechanics would have done
all that was needed in a fraction OF the
time and a very small portion OF the cost,
local talent ought to have been used and
tbe exodus of mechanics avoided; but then
somebody would have lost some patronage,
and somebody else some jobs.
Here is one instance of the true reasons
why things have been so stagnant. Mis-
government. government byfavorltlsm and
jObbery.
But what can be said of the consistency
of an advocate who publishes the answers
of some FORTY merchants, traders, retailers,
etc. in every branch of business, of whom
only n bare half dozen admit that business
is ANYTHING like what it might be. "Busi-
ness departed hence" "business taking a
holiday" 'the worst times since 1913"
"almost nothing doing" everything at a
dead standstill." business not what it
ought to be- dull" "slack," quiet"
mot what it has been" is the erpose OF the
AdVerissr, and vet it says that this might
be remedied if all the newspapers in the
city were to stand up Loyalty for the pub
lie veal and encourage capital to invest In
reproductive works, and permanent I'M
provements.
The Alrertiser itself has made known as
widely as it can the existing depression in
all business. The depression in the value
of our staple product is one great cause,
there we agree, but the other causes, are
not the complaints of newspapers, Tor if
they be, the organ itself shares the blame
but NAL administration.
An honest capable government under
the adverse circumstances would strain
every nerve to push forward public works,
and employ Hawaiian labor, and draw out
Hawaiian and invite foreign capital.
The present government elaborately pre-
fers engineers, contractors, artifcers, from
elsewhere. drives available talent away
and then says that if the more truly Haw-
allan papers would only misrepresent
things capital would come and mechanics
would stay.
True, the unfortunate state of affairs is
largely due to mischievous meddling and
obstruction, but the mischief makers,
meddlers and Instructors all wear the
government badge and thrive on govern
ment money.

Now let us see what this accusation
really means and who are they who are
responsible for undermining public conf

and most important Is the increase of the

preciatlng the benefit already derived from
the ingenious and inexpensive improve
ment lately wrought by the Superintend
ent Of Water Works, what is the true rea-
son for the continued delay. and continu
ous expense of doing nothing.
For years after the appropriation of
large sums of money for this express pur
pose, nothing was done. and vet there was
an able and honest Superintendent of
Public Works, perfectly capable of design

those whose duty It was to have aided him
in the undertaking.
The work. or preparation for work. now
enters upon another phase: an eminent
engineer Is brought down from San Fran

former scheme for increase of water
storage Is gradually elaborated. the latter
has not yet made any very noticeable use

EDIToR GAZETTE :-Laupahoeho rejoices in the
Inauguration of 4 law school, and Shakespeare

latest advices, of few FOSSIL obtuse policemen as
