YESTERDAY petition was presented
in the Assembly asking that the sub
sidy granted the speeckels' line of
steamers be discontinued unless they
touched regularly at the port of Kalep-
olepo, Maui 1t seems that the mem
Der representing that district in 1884
promised his constituents that il he
was elected he would see to it that
these steamers visited Kalepolepo reg
ularly; but he doubtless fcnnd there
were difficulties in the way In the
first place the port designated is not a
port Of entry; and even if it was, there
is not water enough there to float the
ALameda or Ma1IpOSa. Years ago the
old steamer Ki2aNea used to run
in, opposite the one house that consti-
tutes the city Of Kalepolepo, and pas
sengers were landed through the surf
But then, as is we'll known, the XII
kaNea used TO go whenever she
pleased, whether there was water
enough or not; humping on reefs did
not seem to trouble her much. Then,
again, it is hardly likely that the com
merce Of Kalepolepo would warrant
the Oceanic Company's steamers in
touching there regularly. Now and
then perhaps when the steward runs
out Of potatoes (they grow spuds not
far from Kalepolepo-eight or ten
miles inland) or tourists wanted to run
up to the top Of Haleakala mountain,
the steamers might touch there,
but not every trip. Another and a
practical objection TO the carrying out
Of the requirements Of the petition is

ACCORDING to the report of the
House Committee on Public Lands
several bills prepared and introduced
into the House under the Committees
direction will restore to the public do
main something over S6,ooo,oo acres
of land stolen by the patriotic citizens
of the Republic. 1t is estimated that
this land will furnish about $50, 900
families with homesteads under the
present law A bill has also been in
troduced which will create Territory
of Oklahoma, over which there has
been so much trouble lately, which
will open up for settlement over
100000 more acres of fine
agricultural and grazing land The
politicians who are advocating these
reform bills, solely in the interests OF
the people of course, assert that unless
these lands are restored that the coun-
try is standing upon the verge Of a
'land famine A ''Iand famine" in the
United States would be very terrible
thing just at present, especially ssthere
are only 5o,ooo,ooo acres of arabic
land now offered by the Government
for pre-emption. The United States
Government are perfectly right in re-
claiming these lands, which have been
stolen, but there is not much chance Of
''land famine" outside of political
speeches. 1t is barely possible that
the land reclaimed may be stolen again
before the political Administration
changes.

COURT PRoCEEDINGs.-T long infested
Patterson will case flom Baltimore county, end
ed on Wednesday evening in a verdict for the
plaintiff, Robert Patterson. The suit was
brought to set aside the will of Robert Patter-
sons brother, Andrew Patterson, of Baltimore
county, who bequeathed all of his property to
his wife, during her lifetime, the remainder TO
her infant son, his adopted child. A strong case
was presented by each side. The grounds al
legged for breaking the will were that the tesla
tor was not competent, by reason of mental
and physical infirmites, to make a valid will,
and that undue influence was eXerted upon him
in making a will. Another WILL unsigned,
was produced, which made different DISPOSE
ton OF his property. The estate is estimated to
amount to $50, 600. Messrs John T. Ensor and
Young and s. A. Williams, of Bel Air, repre-
scented the plaintiff. E. Otis Hnkley and A.
V. Mlholland, of Baltimore, and Archer & Van
Bibber, of Bel Air, appeared for the defendant
The case was ably argued by Messrs. Young and
Ensor, for the plaintiff, and Hon. Stevenson
Twenty-eight witnesses were examined for the
plaintiff and twenty-four for the defendant
The case was tried before Judge Fowler. The
costs of this protracted trial are borne by Balti-
more county.

LETTER FROM BUSH RIVER NECK,
The Fish Law-Sews of the Neighbor.



Since 1t is well established fact that phos-
should get another supply of fish to invgorate
their brains to enable them to see the point In
regard to the flsh-law for Bush river. The law
IL is true, does not prohibit the setting of gill
nets, hoop-nets and pound nets but in this the
law is wrong. This trap fishing DESTROYS more
young fish and spawn than all the sene-haulng
we have ever had on our shores. Dump and
others mistake the facts in relation to the petit
ton. We did not get a man to sign the petition
who lived 20 miles from Bush river. The most
distant signers were about 6 miles from the
river, and they were good honest thinking mon
who We're in favor of repeating so much of tho
law that prohibits seine hauling in Bush river,
so that residents of the Neck who have money
invested in fishing outfits, upon which they are
paying taxes, might derive some benefit from
them. No one signed who was not opposed to
ms unequal legislation, while know men who
would not have signed the other petition If they
mad known we were getting up petition to re-
peal the Objectionable feature of the law. |
trust the Legislature will give us chance to
get share of the brain-food with which our
friends OF the Gunpowder side are so literally
supplied.
MIR. George W. sweeting left the parental roof,
on Wednesday of last week, for Phpnixyile,

Friday Morning, March IL, 1886.
Labor Strikes.

There probably never has been SO much
agitation among workmen in this country as
there is now. In every direction laborers
are laying down their tools, in order to eX-
tort from their employers concessions which
they feel they have right to demand. It's
gratifying to see, at the same time, that there
is little or no disposition on the part of the
strikers, TO resort to violence. Their demands
are made peaceably but firmly and with
powerful organization and unity Of purpose
strikes are made much more effective than
they ever have been.
In New York city, last Thursday, the car
drivers struck for twelve hours work a day
A few cars were run, under the protection of
the police, who were kept busy removing
overturned cars and other distractions from
the track. On Friday morning not a single
car started out on any of the roads. During
the day, however, tive difficulties were par
TALLY adjusted, and the cars began running
although the strike continues on one line.
Passenger traffic was also suspended, last
Sunday, on all the railroads in the Southwest
controlled by the Jay Gould interest. The
cause of the strike was the discharge of man
from the car-shops at Marshall, for reasons
deemed insufficient by the knights of Labor.
They demanded his reinstatement, and their
demand being refused general strike was
ordered.
Upwards of 900 coal miners in Westers
Maryland, Pennsylvania and Virginia are
also said to be organizing for strike,
In Baltimore city, also, the relations be-
tween the street car companies and their
employees are in critical condition. The
drivers and conductors complain that they
are over-worked. They are compelled to
work 1G or IS hours day, and many of them
never see their children awake except on
Sunday afternoons. They scarcely ever
know the pleasure of eating their meals with
their families. Their pay is about Is cents
an hour. The railway companies are en-.
deavoring to arrange matters with them.
A bill is before the Legislature making
twelve hours a legal days work on the cars,
but the men fear if it is passed their wages
will be correspondingly reduced Their lot
is a hard one, indeed.
A large and enthusiastic meeting was held
in the Concordia Opera House, Baltimore,
Tuesday night, at which earnest speeches
were made in favor of the bill now before the
Legislature. Letters were read from Arch
bishop Gibbons, Congressman Shaw and
Findlay, ex-senator Whyte and other prom
inent public men, expressing sympathy with
every proper movement for the amelioration
of the condition of the laboring classes. A
resolution was adopted approving the twelve
hour bill.
The ruling power behind all these strikes
is the body known as Knights of Labor. This
organization is compact and powerful and its
edicts are obeyed unquestioningly. The
policy of the Knights of Labor appears to be
to avoid violence and by boycotting firms
who will not pay fair rates or who Cypress
their employees, secure their demands.
