HOMESTEADS.

Yesterday. in short note, we
mentioned that large landholder
had expressed his willingness to
open some pretty extensive tracts to
settlement upon the most favorable
terms. The current Planters
Monthly has a letter from Mr.. r.
Rycroft, of Puma, Hawaii, telling Of
lands upon that Island that could be
thrown open for settlement in small
holdings, with great advantage to all
concerned. Commenting upon the.
letter, the editor of that valuable
periodical gives the following timely
COUNSEL
$50 far so good. What is wanted
is definite information as to where
land can be obtained; but to be of
practical benefit, further information
is necessary as to terms of sale, the
price, amount of cash down required,
or length of time for which a mort
gage will be taken, and rate of in
terest. If Mr.. Rycroft will make q
definite statement Of what he is pre-
pared to do, and his proposition is
any ways reasonable, there is no
doubt that he will be able to make
speedy arrangements advantageous
both to himself and to settlers.
SIN this connection we would
urge upon the attention of large
landholders the advantage to be de-
rived from cutting up land into small
parcels. An example in point is the
land of Kapahulu, situated at Wal
kiki and back of Diamond Head,
which was lately sold by the Luna
lilo estate. The trustees would have
been glad to get $40, 900 as a whole,
but finally divided it into lots and
sold them at auction, the sale realiz-
ing some S22 900. Another instance
of like nature is the recent division
of a large lot on the slope of Punch
bowl in Honolulu. 1t found no
purchasers at 1880, but divided
up and sold in lots, terms being
one-fourth cash and the balance in
one, two and three years, it brought
over $4,000 without any difficulty
"If, then, some of our landholders
will but view this matter from g
financial point of view, they will fine
that it will pay to divide up ant
lease or sell many of their nov
waste lands, which are bringing ir
but meagre income. There are
immense tracts of land lying in the
district of EVA and Waianae on this
Island, now used as cattle ranches
or for nothing at all, which coult
support dense population ant
philanthropy and public spirit aside
it would be money in pocket fo
those who own,or control them ant
similar lands, TO open them for set
tlement.
An argument such as that con-
tanned in the foregoing statement
ought not to be lost upon land
owners. Those who do not wish L
unload themselves of their entir
estates would, undoubtedly, by dis
posing of a portion in small hold
ings to settlers, increase the marke
value of the remainder. The sue
cess attending the examples aboy
given will probably lead other land
owners to go and do likewise. A
the Planters Monthly advises
those who have lands to dispose @
should take means to make the fact
with full particulars, known. 1t

of the Interior is having the Govern

have no means of ascertaining, The
fact, however remains demonstrated
that about onc-half of our popula-
ton is permanently employed in
various kinds Of manual labor, and
consequently industriously occupied,
which is more than can he said of
the male population of some other
countries. This is attributable in n
great measure to the reciprocity
treaty with America, which has given
an impetus, not only to sugar and
rice, but to every other industry.
Another encouraging feature
brought out by the census is the
increase in the number Of females,
as compared with the returns for
1878. Those gave total of 23,SS2
females, with l6, ,266 children under
ID years. The new census reports
29,039 females, with % ,5l9 children.
1t also shows that there are 10,240
females of wholly or part foreign
extract, among whom are 1888
Portuguese and 2,099 half-caste
females, who as Il rule are more
prolific, and bear more and healthier
children than Hawaiian women.
Taking these facts into considera-
ton, it is not improbable that the
next census (lS90) will show 4 very
large increase in the number of
children under - years. The half
caste population has already become
an important and valuable element
in our labor calculations, as it sup.
plies some of our most reliable me-
chanics, teamsters, ovcrseers and
farmers.
The labor question is therefore
rapidly assuming Il changed aspect
for the better, and if the japanese
immigration, now happily inaugu-
rated after ten years efforts to Sc
cure it, can be continued for year
or two, to counteract and check the
excessive influx of male Chinese,
the prospect bids fair that the de-
mand for imported labor will soon
decrease from year to year, till
eventually we shall be fully supplied
from our own population with labor
ers of more desirable class, because
of domestic growth and habits,
speaking the same language. and
"to the manor born
The following table, which has
been carefully compiled, shows the
changes which have taken place in
the population of this Kingdom
during the past 80 years, and will
prove valuable for preservation anc
reference. Prior to 1872 no statis-
tics were taken to show the national
tiles of the foreign residents, and in
the enumerations of 1850 and 1860
none were taken showing the half.
caste and Chinese separately. The
data given for those years, showing
the number of half-caste ant
Chinese, are estimates, but are be
lieved to be as correct as it is posi-
bic now to give them. They have
been inserted to make the summary
more complete.

1t is reported that the Chinese
companies are going to send about
two thousand of their people away
to Mexico. The primary object is
to keep up the price of labor, and
the motive is partially one of jeal-
ousy toward the japanese. This
movement will make it more than
ever incumbent upon planters to
leave nothing reasonable undone to
make the Japanese satisfied with
their lot in this country. If Japan
can supply the labor market, there
will probably be few to regret the
departure of the Chinese in much
greater number than that now an
nounced. 1t must be regarded as
fortunate that the Planters Conven-
tion was not gratiiied in its desire
for more Chinese.

The season has come when much of
this world is ending just as life like as
ever; for we find that the principle
schools of Cannon have closed. The
Bradyville Institute closed month or
more ago, and it is reported the teach
ers proposed to run only four months
term. Auburn Academy closed some
time since also, while the school at
Mechanicsville is still battling with
all its might and main to carry the
hill of science and plant its banner Sc.
curely upon the height beyond. The
Woodbury. College came to halt on
last Thursday, and after many an in.
tricate turn in science and language.

ment during the evening in declama.

quies, interspersed with music, from

least, fine display Of calisthenics by
two classes, which was competitive in
its character, and of course the girls re-
ceived the honors, as they always will.
After which Prof. Scoby made his for.
NAL resignation as principal of the Col
lege, which was received with many
regrets. Prof. Bell let the mantle fall
upon his shoulders, and we feel sure
that he and his assistants will still hold
up the interest of the institution, and
prosperity will not only be what it has
been but much more.

bers While this state of things have

rapidly giving way to views more lib
eral and magnanimous. The Christian

great lesson that difference of opinion
does not necessarily imply hostility.
The whole world is becoming a com,

speak out and the world will hear it.
Let us request of those of our ministers
who have been actively engaged in the
past in an effort to show how widely
protestants differ (and too often this
difference greatly magni6ed) to change
their course, and with an equal effort

the present day. Some few are anx-

when it will be changed to double

rugged path will then be in double
