HOMESTEAD LAW.
U 1ADF LANAARoLs OULH 2
Honolulu, March 9, 1885.

We do not agree with our evening
contemporary in the remark that
purchasers of public land, under the
Homestead law, should be relieved
from payment of ten per cent interest
on the purchase price until the royal
patent to the land issues. This is a
very small rent to pay for the use of
the land. Moreover, it is a moot
point whether the better policy is
not to grant long leases, with renewal
clauses, instead of granting absolute
title by purchase. The more adj
Vanced thinkers of the age are of
opinion that the title to all land
should vest in the State; that it should
be administered for the public good;
and that the rent of all Crown or
Government land should be applied
to public purposes in lieu of taxation.
We do not refer especially to Henry
Georges theory, but to the practical
application of this principle of late
years in New Zealand, which is the
most progressive of the many de-
tendencies of the British Crown in
the Pacific. So successful has this
policy of land conservation been in
New Zealand, that the two leading
colonies of Australia-New South
Wales and Victoria-have substan-
TALLY adopted it. The effect has been
to promote settlement, stimulate
agricultural production, and add
largely to the revenue. Indeed, but
for the adoption of this policy, it
would have been impossible for the
Australian Commonwealth to have
betrayed the expense of government
and met payments of interest on their
public debt, while carrying out COM
prehensive schemes of public works
which they have severaIly initiated.
We are not now arguing against the
Homestead law, which we think
should get fair trial; but simply
wish to suggest a policy which de-
serves consideration at least by the
country.

STR EET SAYINGS.

1t is reported by those who claim to know
that Walter B. Smith, the absconding bank
teller, was exceedingly intimate with lady
of rapid propensities in Minneapolis, and
also that he had ingratia ted himself
into the affections of a young lady
in this city, who at the time he left had
packed her trunk for the purpose of leaving
with him, but at the last moment her heart
failed her, and she is still here.

There is lamp post with a letter-box at
tachment on the corner of Third and Rob
ert streets tnat stands as near the center of
the sidewalk as it would be possible
to get it, and it is a
very interesting pastime to stand around in
that vicinity these cold nights and watch
citizens coming up or down the street,
with head lowered, collide with the post.
The discourse that follows the collision is
usually of calOric and impressive nature.
~
FL. A. Bruins. the mayor of Moorhead,
was in the city yesterday. He would be easily
mistaken for Tom Lowry of Minneapolis,
and in business principles he exercises
about the same degree of cal
culation and shrewdness. He has
been identified with the growth and
prosperity Of Moorhead and owns nearly
half the town, does heavy banking bust
ness and controls the Grand Pacific, the
finest hotel on the line of the Northern Pa
cific road. He always wears smile, and
has great deal of time for any man who
has new scheme to explain to him.

This company has already earned an en-
viable reputation both at home and abroad
and embraces some of the brightest stars in
the minstrel world. Haverly's fame as a
minstrel manager is well known, and the
present company has met with an unprec-
edented success everywhere. The present
intense rivalry between minstrel companies
has caused many innovations in minstrelsy
and caused the introduction of different
high-class specialties. Haverly has secured
the wonderful Cragg family, whose marvel
GUS acrobatic performances are the sensa-
ton of both Europe and America. Large
houses will undoubtedly greet them.
The Little Sisters of the Poor return their
most sincere thanks to the members of the

ously to the same cause.

ment of wholesale groceries, with prices
steady and collections very good.
The dry goods trade has been helped by
the cold weather, and an excellent sorting
up trade has been done.
The drug market has been active and
sales heavy. One of our wholesale houses
reports an increase of 25 per cent. in coun-
try sales over same month (NOvember) last
year. Prices are firm, with advancing ten
denotes. Holiday goods trade best ever
known here. Morphine advanced 10 cents
per ounce. Extra ginseng in good demand
at advanced price, ordinary grades dull.
Senega dull Collections fairly good.
A very good trade has been done by the
wholesale clothing merchants, who have
been helped by the cold spell. Those deal
ing in hats, caps and furs are very busy in
deed, and have about all they can attend TO.
The wholesale boot and shoe dealers have
been actively engaged in shipping winter
goods to all parts of the country, besides
doing an excellent city trade.

DANIEL IN THE LEAD.

The Young Virginia Orator Certain
of the Senatorial Prize.
Special to the Globe.
RICHMOND, Va, Dec. 6.-The contest
for MahOne's seat in the senate, which has
been waged with considerable energy ever
since the election on Nov. 3, will in all
probability be ended tomorrow night by a
nomination by the Democratic caucus. The
friends of Hon. J. w. Daniel express most
perfect confidence in his carrying off the
prize. They claim, and there seems to be
little doubt of its accuracy, that they have
at least dozen more than are necessary to
nominate him. His supporters are young,
energetic and enthusiastic in his behalf.
They have presented his claims with
wonderful vim. The strength devel-
oped by this candidate of the younger
politicians in the Democratic party was
surprise to Chairman Barbour's friends.
These came here with the idea that the
Democrats owed the senatorship to Mr..
Barbour for the three successive victories
won by the party under Mr.. Barbour over
Malone. The Democratic members of the
legislature acknowledge their Indebtedness
to that gentleman for this service, as a
prominent Democrat said to-day: ''Many
of the members of the legislature are per-
fectly willing to give Barbour an empty
compliment and the senatorship to Mr..
Daniel" MI. Barbours managers have
appeared somewhat discouraged at the out
look. Yesterday. however, they picked
up more courage and are energetically at
work in the interest of their candidate. 1t
seems to be pretty generally conceded that
Barbour intends to fight to the end. If
they desire to do SO it is hardly probable
that that gentleman's friends can enter into
combination with the field with any chance
of success. Ex-Judge W. r. Staples, be-
sides Daniel and Barbour, is the only aspi-
rant who has any votes worth considering.
His strength. even if it could be carried SOL
idly to Barbour, would not give that gen.
tleman the nomination. The latter, if he
desired to do so. could not carry his votes
with any sort of unanimitv to Staples or
any one else. The most of Staples voters
are for Daniel as a second preference. 1t
is stated tonight that Judge Staples has re-
tired from the fight. If this is so, his
strength will go to Daniel and give him a
large majority of the members of the eau
GUS The nomination of Daniel will be en-
Enthusiastically received by the younger men,
beers of his party in Virginia. He is the
most accomplished speaker in the state, and
if he goes to the senate will be the most
brilliant representative this state has had in
that body since the close of the war.

Pilot. Jr.

A Kentuckan relates the following i'll
teresting story in regard to the training OF
the famous horse, Pilot il. He says:
'tMy father, who was stockraiser neal
Lexington, became the owner of Pilot, Jr.
He was the most devilish and uncomfortable
animal in the whole country, and would al
low nobody to come near him but one
negro, and when father purchased him he
purchased the negro along with him. The
old gentleman was supporter OF the moral
suasion theory. and after the stallion had
been brought home he told the negro that
he was satisfied that Pilot could be subju-
gated by gentleness, and from that time ON
forbade him to strike the horse a blow,
threatening for every lick he struck Pilot
he would be given ten himself. The negro
obeyed, and in a short time the horses dis
position underwent transformation. One
day father invited a number of prominent
stock-raisers and neighboring gentlemen to
his place to see the horse trot. When they
assembled, to their great terror and sur
prise, he went into Pilots stall, brought
him quietly out, put the harness on him,
hitched him to the sulky. and drove him a
mile in 2:35, about the fastest time which
had ever been made. From the day my
father bought him to his death Pilot, Jr.,
who had been regarded as terror, never
injured person and became as tractable as
a dray horse.
