THE ECONOMY OF LAND.

New countries are first settled by the
This is done in order that the largest re-
turns may be realized with the least out
lay of labor. The history of civilized
countries repeats and illustrates this
fact OF industrial economy. This is called
the first period of a country's develop
ment. The second period of agricultural
development is extensive, and brings the
best lands of a country under cultiva-
ton. The third period, under the pres
sure of population, becomes intensive ;
in other words, large amount of labor
is expended upon a small surface. As
a condition of intensive cultivation, the
lands must be segregated and distributed
to those who till the soil. This does not
necessarily mean cheap lands, but avail
able and profitable farms of small acre
age Such farms will soon supply the
comforts of life to large numbers and di-
vide the profits of labor among those
who will thus materially increase the
revenues of the Government This is
just, and the benefits derived are recip-
rocal.
During the second period, when the
agricultural territory is being brought
under cultivation, the land is divided
into large tracts, until the period of in
tensive cultivation necessitates further
division. AS nations become environed
by civilization, the pressure OF popula-
ton, or the demands for commercial
commodities for exchange, favor small
farms and intensive culture. The prac-
teal results of this method of cultiva-
ton are well known in Europe. Bel
GUM is fair illustration of the method
of intensive culture Flemish farmers
expend twice as much to the acre in Gull
tivation as the English farmers do.
Their farms are continually divided, and
production is correspondingly increased.
East Flanders supports 800 people to
every square mile of territory, and the
best soil of Flanders would have origi-

Stories of Gen George A Sheridan, the
stump speaker and lecturer, who is generally
ticketed as "of louisiana are often TO be
heard in the places where public men
gather. He is said to have once delivered
the axiom that the one thing which a stump
orator does not need to burden himself with
is facts. 1t is the generals idea that faclle
speaker can create all the facts he wants as
he goes along in his speech. In illustration
of his meaning he told story OF an occur
renee when he was out on a tour with e+en.

reference to the tariff which seemed to
him to need some bolstering, and he said that
his statement had been based on decision

York He was about to pass on when a
young man In the audience Interrupted him

that Garfield might help him out, he asked
the inquirer, "Are you lawyer Inc

curiosity afterward to look up the particular

young fellow, and found that it was the

lions of idiocy.-Exchange

nally compared unfavorably with the
ordinary agricultural lands Of Hawaii.
Switzerland ranks next TO Belgium in
its intensive culture, and Norway and
Denmark are extreme illustrations OF
the reasonableness OF this method Of
agricultural development.
While Hawaii does not labor under
the disability of dense population like
the countries cited, yet we have reached
a period of agricultural production which
demands that small farming be com
menced and extended to q point that
will make portion OF the inhabitants
Of the Kingdom self. sustaining, without
dependence for employment upon our
great industries which are controlled by
large investments Of capital.
Large tracts OF fine agricultural lands
are held in these Islands which virtually
do not produce enough to the square
mile to feed the ordinary population OF
an agricultural country. If this land
was divided into small farms and dis
posed of at fair price to meet the de-
mands Of a large class of our laboring
population, who are building up with
the country and are willing to invest
their savings in small farms, the same
results would obtain here which have
followed the method of intensive culture
in other countries. The immediate re-
suit would be comfortable plenty to
many now dependent upon the enter
prise of others, and the final result
would be a substantial advancement in
| the price of land and a very material in
crease in the revenue of the Kingdom.
Under this method there is nothing to
prevent us from developing our agricul-
tural resources in few years BY b G eur

tables that can be accIimated here.

| tropical and semi-trOpical fruits. There
is in short nothing to prevent us from

of the products which we import at q

real support of nation, and the time is

already come, when we must economic

FRIDAY
A BIG SCHEME.

1t has--6een a common saying on the
a country without history In the
past its nearest neighbors have been
almost wholly ignorant of this great pc
ninsula, and people have entertained
vague idea that it was dry and barren
land, unfit for habitation, except by a
few wandering Indians, who struggled
with nature for bare sustenance.
1t is rather astonishing in this day and
age of civilizing forces that a country
like Lower California should have es-
capped the greed of men, and we might
almost say, had escaped mention in the
pages of current history and travel.
Lower California would be nearly I'M
inhabited to-day had it not been for the
discovery of pearl fisheries along the
coasts of the southern peninsula, which
attracted some five or six thousand
people who, after long years, have sue
ceeded in increasing to about 10000
souls, through the development of few
Industries and light coast commerce.
But the northern part of the peninsula,
which is separated from the southern
portion by natural mountain wall, has
escaped practical exploration or even
observation until quite recently.
Comparing favorably with California
proper both in agricultural advantages
and in mineral resources, Lower Cali
of capital and will soon feel the touch nj
surrounding civilization, which has neg
lected it for over half a century. A large
American company has been formed
and the upper half of Lower California
has been purchased from the Mexican
Government. The tract of land, which
has thus changed hands through Amer
lean enterprise, contains no less than
$4,000, 900 acres of land, commencing at
a point fifteen miles south of San Diego,
California, and extending to the noun
tain wall which passes through the mid
die OF the peninsula from east to west.
The purpose of this company is to
open the upper portion of Lower Cal
ifornia to American colonization. The
scheme will be furthered by the Mexi-
can Government and Colonization Act
has already been passed under which
the American company holds its title to
this enormous and promising domain.

Examiners Report.

The committee of three appointed by
the Board of Trustees of Oahu College to
examine into the condition of the Oahu
College and the Preparatory School con-
nected Herewith, have published a re-
port, which contains the following
points That the limited time enables
the committee to give general impress
sions only; that the committee noticed
very few failures during the exercises of
the day, and therefore conclude that the
pupils were thorough in the studies of
the entire term that the results OF the
committees examination showed jul
dicious labor on the part of the teachers
and patient industry on the part of
both the College and the Preparatory
School for the term which closed on the
25th of last June The committee
further reports that the methods of
teaching employed are abreast of the
times and that the people of the Ha-
waiian Islands are to be congratulated in
having an institution which offers a
"broad, thorough and Christian educa-
ton" The committee suggests that such
notifications be made in the curriculum
of the institution as will give more time
for the study of the English language
The report is signed by J. B. McChesney,
n. B. Emerson and G. NJ. Hyde, under
date of June 80, 1886.
In addition to the above report Messrs.
n. B. Emerson and c.. NJ. Hyde make a
special report, calling attention to the
exercises at the "Bishop Hall of
Science" as follows at was with
great satisfaction that the committee
listened to the recitations, and noted the
personal examination required to be
made by each student in regard to the
qualities and classification of the speci-
mems submitted to them for investiga-
ton and report; and, more particularly,
the method followed in the labratory,
each student testing the chemical sub
stance assigned for examination and
noting the facts brought out by system
attic analysis, and all, with only single
exception, giving a correct solution. 1t
was very evident that in the important
department of chemistry and physics,
Oahu College has been put on high
plane OF excellence, as compared with
other institutions, in the means and ia
cilities now afforded for education in the
interesting and increasingly important
department of Physical Science. Some
provision should now be made for regu-
aradditions to the cabinet, which ought
at once to have larger collections in its
various sections"
1t is also announced that the Board of
Trustees adopted a curriculum on the
24th of December, 1885, which carries
out the suggestion of the Examining
Committee as to more time being given
to the study of the English language,
and that the new course will go into
effect next year, commencing in Septem-
Der, 1856.

Lancaster Savings Bank,

We invite attention to the facilities
offered by the Lancaster, IN. ii. } Saw
iDgs Bank to those who have funds or
surplus capital to invest. See advt.
We doubt if any banking institution
ia all New England can show better
record than that exhibited by this
bank in its last sworn statement. The
dividends for the past five years for
money remaining in the bank all the
time have averaged five and nine
teuthS per cent. per annuin, Il showing
alike creditable to the bank and highly
satisfactory to the depositors. The
bank is managed by Col. II. Q. Kent,
ii sufficient guarantee of itself that the
funds are carefully and safely invested.
Considering that people from any part
in Northern Essex can send by mail TO
Lancaster and get returns the same
day-the sound financial condition of
the bank-its careful management
and its Large per cent. dividends, Il
more favorable opportunity could not
be offered to depositors, especially to
those who reside in this vicinity, and
who very rarely receive more than
three per cent. at their present places
of deposit.
