VI n ftbi>lC LANDs.
The rapid appropriation of our
public lands without bona .fdc set
tiers or cultivation, and not only
without intention of residence, but
for the purpose of their aggregation
in large holdings, in many cases in
the hands of foreigners, invites the
serious and immediate attention of
the Congress. The energies of the
Land Department have been devoted
during the present Administration
to remedy defects and correct abuses
in the public land service. The re-
suits of. these efforts are so largely
i'm the nature of reforms in the pro-
cesscs and methods of our land sys-
ten as to prevent adequate esti-
mates; but it appears by a compila-
tion from the reports of the Com
missioner of the General Land Office
that the immediate effect in leading
cases which have come to final
termination has been the restora-
tion to the mass of public lands of
two. million seven hundred and fifty
thousand acres; that two million
three hundred and seventy thousand
acres are embraced in Investigations
now pending before the department
or the courts, and that the action of

The weakness of Liberia and the
difficulty of maintaining efficient
sovereignty over its outlying districts
have exposed that Republic to en-
croachment. 1t cannot be forgotten
that this distant community is an
offshoot of our own system owing
its origin to the associated benevo-
lencc of American citizens whose
praiseworthy effort to create nu-
cleus of civilization in the Dark
Continent have commanded respect
and sympathy everywhere, especially
in this country. Although formal
protectorate over Liberia is contrary
to our traditional policy, the moral
right and duty of the United States
to assist in all proper ways in the
maintainance of its integrity is OBJ
vious, and has been constantly adj
vanced during nearly half centu-
nv. recommend that, in the rcor-

New Zealand Frozen Meat.

Bradstreet's, well-known CONNER
cial statistical paper, published in New
York, states that efforts are being made
to import New Zealand frozen meat to
California At present, nothing definite
has been decided as to an establishment
of this trade, but it may be that the New
Zealanders have for some time past had
their eyes open in this connection, be-
cause their contract for the mail service
running between New Zealand and San
Francisco specifies that the steamers
employed shall be fitted with refriger-
ating chambers. Bradstreet's thinks
that it may not be long before New
Zealand meat shop becomes an accom-
plished fact in the city of the Golden
Gate.

ISLAND NOTES

NAwLIwIII, Kauai, Sept. 2oth.
Cane planting is the order Of the day
New machinery is arriving weekly for
the various mills on the island.
The prospects for large crop OF sugar
were never better than at present.
The recent heavy showers have added
much to the growing cane.
Judging from the numerous breaks,
the new steam plow is not a success in
stony ground.

KoHALA, Hawaii, September oath


A child at Kohala plantation was
kicked in the face by horse and the
eye so severely injured that DR. Thomp-
son feared the sight was ruined, but with
careful attention it is now hoped it will
be saved.
Hon. F. L. Lyman, Circuit Judge of
Hilo, will be here on the 9th, to hear
cases appealed from the Police Court.
He will find quite full docket
The hog sickness still prevails and
deaths among them are frequent and
expensive.
We notice that our new school agent
is making things hot for truants. IL OF
course makes parents that care moth
ing for the education of their children
rather ill-natured, but it is the kind of
attention to business that has long been
needed here.
Quite an addition has been made to
the Catholic Church building at Halawa,
very much improving it's appearance.
The great increase of congregation made
the extra room necessary, and Father
Oliver, who is an honest worker in the
cause, will not allow anything to stand
in the way. He is certainly an example
for some others to follow who only talk
of religion and boast of good work.
Mr.. Hotter, who has been carpenter
and builder here for number of years
has added quite an ornament to oui
district in his new house at Puehuehu
1t is quite a relief to see a building out
of the regulation style.
1t began raining hard on Thursday
: and those that looked careworn and dis
couraged before, now smile and seem
perfectly contented with the world a
large.
Mr.. Jas. Fern, an old, and probably
the oldest white resident OF the district
died Saturday night, September 18th.
The appointment of Mr. l. w Moau

eral satisfaction. Why not make him {

Hno. Hawaii, September 2ad.

Very little news to write about just
now in beautiful Hilo. Horses are still
allowed to roam around the streets on
dark knights as usual, and some people
wonder how it is and wonder if there is
a pound master, and wonder why he is
not around. The Chinaman who usually
owns several nice horses should be noti-
fed to keep them at home, but no one
seems to notify him.
A gentleman from Maui, residing here,
was arrested on the 10Th instant for
working on Sunday, but the valiant
police, two of them, swore that he was
doing different things, and man who
was present said he was not doing either
of the things charged by either OF the
police, so he was discharged.
1t is noted fact that the doctors in
Hilo have almost nothing to do. People
who have the asthma can live in Hilo
and be free from that depressing disease,
and fever and ague are unknown, and
there is so little bilious diseases that D.
II. Hitchcock grand remedy, so nicely
advertised in Honolulu papers, is not in
much demand.
A large ship was seen off Hilo on the
21st instant, but no one knew her nation
atty. 1t was thought to be the Emma
Claudina with c. c. Kennedy, wife and
son, and Geo. Deacan, as passengers on
board.
The brig Hazard is discharging a val
liable cargo, destined for Laupahoehoe,
Papaikou and Hilo, and viii go to Homo
lulu.
dThe grand panorama 81 Tavernier's is
pro ressing nicely.
Hilo is still sadly in need OF a watch
and clock repairer and cleaner and a
frst-ciass tailor.
Those who have horses to let are long
ing to have Kilauea booming again.
No new developments in the ramie
culture near Hilo, and some are wonder
ing what will be the result.
Hilo is awful dry, for news, but there
is no lack of rain. }. :. NJ.

WASHINGTON. ID. c.. February A.
The report OF Colonel Trigg in re-
gard to the claim OF Virginia against
the United Stats has been agreed to
by The House Committee on Claims.
The whole committee concur in the
opinion that the claim should be paid,
and Colonel Trigg is authorized to re-
port bill for that purpose. The
claim, with interest added to
January J., 1886, amounts to
$l.570,5oS. AS an Offset 10 this the
Government holds Virginia bonds
amounting to s5Sl,s0 with interest
from January 1, 1861. Two years in
ierest have been paid, and the total
claim Of the Government January /,
l>S6, Including principal and interest,
was 81 ,3S4, 684, which, deducted from
the claim Of the State. leaves balance
OF SlS5,S24 due Virginia. 1t is better
TO settle now and receive slS5, S2i than
wait until the bonds mature lin 1904
and receive only s69.376, which would
be the balance due Virginia on the first
Of January Of that year. The commit
tee are agreed that in the settlement OF
accounts with States their Indebtedness
10 the General Government, including
bonds not yet matured. should be de-
Quoted. Colonel Trigg has proposed.
and the proposition has been well re-
cciyed by those TO whom it has been
mentioned, that the settlement with
Virginia shall be As OF 1870, when the
settlement was made with Massachu-
sets. 1t is admitted that this would
be equitable, and Colonel Trigg has hope
that II may be done. 1t would make a
difference Of abont ESQ, 900 in favor Of
the State Of Virginia.
Colonel Brady cleverly got into the
Congressional Record yesterday posi-
tive denial Of the material statements
made by Mr.. Wise in his recent cOntro-
yersv with Mr. Boutelle, aud an offer
70 prove his statement from official re-
cords. Mr.. Brady accomplished this
under the guise Of 4 parliamentary
question addressed to the Speaker and
read from manuscript. The Speaker
ruled that Mr.. Brady had not
shown a case in which he would be
entitled TO reply to Mr.. Wise. but the
statement Of Brady goes into the Re
cord. which was all that be desired.
Mr.. Wise did not think il necessary to
reply TO Mr.. Brady'S allegations OF
misrepresentation. That may be done
when the Secretary Of the Treasury re-
plies to the Boutelle resolution Of in
quiIy, if Mr.. Brady then makes the
speech be asked leave to make.
colonel Robert Beverley addressed the
House Committee on Agriculture in favor
Of bill pending before that committee
to extend the benefits Of the weather
bureau 10 agricultural communities by
the display Of flag or lights to warn
them Of approaching storms and changes

was before the last Congress and was
