The more one hears of the Tay-
lor family of Tennessee, the more
unique and original does it become.
Bob Taylor is the Democratic nom-
inee for governor. ALI Taylor is
the Republican nominee for the
same office. 1t is said that the ia
Their of the two boys will become
the Prohibition nominee. And
that is not all. There are four 9th
er brothers with politics of their
own, and not one of them agrees
with either Bob or AlfOr the father.
And, worst of all, the mother is a
woman suffragist. And, yet, this
remarkable family manages to live
together in peace and happiness;
and when Aft was introduced in a
Joint debate by Bob the OTHER day,
he cleverly remarked that after the
election Bob would have the distin-
guished honor of being the brother
of the governor of Tennessee.

Upolu is divided into three great districts,
The eastern end Of the island known as Atua,
the middle Tanmasage, and the western Aana.
Formerly each Of these great districts was
controlled by King Tue or Tue Atua, etc.

The desire-for some fixed aud settled form of
government has been paramount in the minds
Of the people.
The Samoan Government consists of the
'Taimua'and "Pule, "the former comprising
seven chiefs not among the greatest but known
for their ability; the Pule. four chiefs of
higher grade, who crown the edificc. The
Taimua and Pule appoint local magistrates
for districts from among ihe people over whom
they are to have jurisdiction In Apia the
local magistrate is appointed by the American,
English and German consuls. The Govern
iGent is 10 be sustained by per capita" tax.
With their resources this will be rriiing and
cheerfully paid. But they know nothing of
finances or the art of government; in theory
they may display some wisdom, but they all
must fail in practice. They fully realize that
some government must aid them.
With population about one-third less than
the Hawaiian Islands, vastly greater natural
resources, and amable and tractable people

The height of mountains and depth OF val
leys, with general average of physical struc-
ture, make an astronomical survey uncertain.
The haTbor Of 'Apia' IN Upolu N similar to
that Of Honolulu, the anchorages from six to
fourteen fathoms Of water. The removal of
few coral rocks near the shore would greatly
add harbor facilities while a half mile Of
wharves could be built, which, with the sea-
wall indicated would render the port of Apia
a secure aud valuable depot as well as a gem
eral maritime resort. The richness Of the soil,
the varied resources capable of supporting a
large population, and its central position make
Apia the natural entrepOt for Samoa For
port aud shipping industry labor could be
aggregated and supported. The surrounding
country is Of greater area and general ad-
aptabilily than that of any other port of the
group; the climate beautiful and the port as
nearly on the commercial track between San
Francisco and the English Colonies as any
other point of tue group. The white popula-

eighty, chiefly German, English and Amer

ican and German Consul and Of the Roman
Catholic Bishop MOnsignor Lamaze. IL is the
headquarters for the Pacific Islands of the
commercial house of Hamburg. The foreign
residents are mostly traders frum the Colonies
with small stores and liquor rooms, trading
with natives aud living generally useless lives,
having no sympathy with the natives and for
selfish purposes ever prepared TO foment trou-
BILE between the different districts; in time of
war furnishing them arms ammunition and
purchasing valuable tracts OF lands at paltry
prices from irresponsible claimants or men,

virtually controlled by the German house of
Hamburg represented at Apia by Mr. Weber,
4 very kind and intelligent man.
The exports are cotton and copra. The
copra trade is considerable and growing into
larger proportions. Copra is the meat or fruit
of tho ripe cocoa-uut which is gathered and
prepared by the natives Il is shipped 10 Eu-
rope where it meets ready sale. The oil en-
ters largely in the manufacture of the best
candies. The copra In European markets is
quoted at about S95 per ton and is purchased
from the natives at about three cents in trade,
equal to about $50 per ton Some money has

THE SAMOAN ISLANDS
BY TIE MARQUIS OF TEASo.

The language Of the Samoan bespeaks Ma
layan extraction, many words in the two Ian
gnages being identical; the alphabet containing
fourteen letters, a, e, i o, u, {, &, m, n, p, S,
(, V. The foreign letters b., and V are in
troduced in the writing OF proper foreign
names, as Amenka for America. In speaking
the voice is raised, the emphasis falling on the
last word Of each sentence. a stranger in Sa-
moa might suppose there were two languages.
Not so, but there are delicate terms, express
i've Of respect, used in speaking TO a chief
though Il chief never uses them in speaking Of
himself. 1t is claimed by persons long resi-
dent in South Sea Islands, that the Samoan is
the only Polynesian language having word
to express thanks OF gratitude, ''faa-afetae." !"
The language is allegorical, and generally
oriental in style. Samoan has become writ
ten language through the labors Of mission
aries among them. Father Yillet, French
Catholic Priest, and DIR. Pratt, of the London
Missionary Society, have made dictionary
and grammar, and have translated the Bible,
Caiechism and other books for religious in
Etructi0n.
OF the early history Of Samoa nothing is
definitely known There are native traditions
Of their race, but they are exceedingly vague,
but ruins in the interior Of the Islands, and
the roads and the causeways of Savaii, are a
sealed book TO the natives; and to the question,
''Who built them?" the quick answer is this:
''The evil or good spirits"
These islands were first discovered by tie
Dutch ''three ships expedition" commanded
by Rosenvein, in 1T72. La Perouse touched
at the island Of Tutuila in l7s7 One Of his
officers, NJ. De Langle, and boats crew, were
killed 10y the natives on the north shore Of the
island a small estuary still retains the name,
Massacre Bay" From this circumstance the
Islands were avoided by nayigators, aud the
natives looked upon as exceedingly savage
and treacherous. Rev. john Williams, an
English missionary, lOund in 1880, that the
natives knew something of Christianity, and
readily accepted il. This knowledge evidently
came from the rude teachings or influence Of
Cistaway sailors, as the natives still speak Of
The white men among them long before the
arrival Of missionaries. From period of nine
years, from 1919 to 1865, bloody civil strife
ragged between the different districts Of Upolu
and the small island Of Manono, tho latter be.
ing the ally of "Anua" the western district of
Upolu, and arrayed against 'Atua" and the
'Tua Masaga." The horrors of this war are
still fresh in the minds Of the people. The
recent war in 1876, was not SO sanguinary or
destructive Of property.
j 1889 Commodore Wilkes gave to the group
a I srhlation Of fifty-six thousand six hundred
This would only be an approximation to the
exact number. A correct census taken in 1883
gave population of thirty-four thousand six
hundred and three. In 1869 the religious con-
sus taken was as follows:
MRnua, Oloscra and OpOo. 43i
@ @Iut1a ana Ahna--'-. 549
The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1886-01-19

The census shows decrease in the popu-
lation Of five hundred for from 1869 TO 1883.
The recent war which lasted two wears
may account for this decrease, as society and
families were disrupted. 1t is estimated that
there has been an increase of native popula-
tion in the last year Of about one hundred and
seventy.
The performance .! the marriage ceremony
by natives is certainly Objectionable and
justly opposed by the Roman Catholic clergy
Even. this is better however than the original
Samoan custom where the consent of the rela-
tives Of both parties aud the presentation of
ffne mats" was sufficient to make wedlock.
though not 10 insure it against desire to take
new wife casting of the old one, who will
again in turn bring "fne mats to the family of
the groom" Until recently the marriage of
chiefs daughter, especially the maid of a viii
lagc was an occasion of great ceremony, and
so sacred was virtue esteemed in female that
the maid, in the presence of great chiefs and
the families of both parties, was compelled to
submit to a public, unnatural and equivocal,
physical test of virginity. This barbarous
custom to some extent still prevails, and so a
part Of unwritten history of the Samoans, is
too well known to admit Of doubt. The gen.
eral sobriety of the natives, aud their appre-
Citations Of the knowledge introduced by the
Wulttes duu BItdllN ~ AutlI lIaCldDlllty ana
argue well for their future advancement
Present indications are that these people will
soon'occupy u much higher place in the scale
of minor nations than most of the Polynesian
islanders. With them Sunday is day of rest
and religious devotion. The great day, Ia
telo and Tatelega are the first and the second
days of "palolo' in the last of October. The
palolo is a sea-worm which appears on two
successive days in every year in some of the
openings of the reefs appearing at daylight
and disappearing with the rising of the sun
These marine worms are eighteen to twenty
inches in length are highly esteemed for food
by the natives and are taken in vast quantities
by them. They seem to understand the pre-
else day when they will appear claiming that
the day before their appearance the land and
robber crabs leave the interior and seek the
salt water. Before dawn every native is astir.
Every vessel capable of bearing man, woman
or child is brought into requisition and the
reef passages at dawn Of day are alive with
water-crafts aud noisy with exuberant life.
The entire Samoan group Excepting out-ly-
ing islets, or rocks before mentioned) has ac-
cording to Wilkes survey superficial area of
of sixteen hundred and fifty square miles, viz:
