an uncomfortable spirit in the crowd that
overwhelmed entirely the efforts of the off
GERS to protect the prisoner. Aplan had beer
made to remove Mussel to some other jail

THE RAILWAY. LOSES.
The Utah & Northern Railroad Liable
to Taxation.

The case of the Utah & Northern
Railway against Assessor Fisher, of
Oneida county, has inst been decided
IN favor of that official. Mr.. Fisher
assessed the railway property OH the
Fort Hall Indian Reservation, where
upon the railway company refused to
pay on the ground that the property,
being situated within the boundaries
of the Indian Reservation, was with
drawn from the jurisdiction OF the
Territory. The United States Su
preme Court, affirming the decisions
of the territorial courts, held that by
the cession of the railroad strip Of
land to the United States by the In
dams such land was withdrawn from
tho reservation, and the road and its
property became subject to the terri
torial and United States laws Just as
il the reservation HAD never existed.

ANXIOUS TO SWAP THE LORD FOR
POLITICS..
A Kansas Dominic Is After the Scalp
of Register Pound.

In the little village of Cherryvale,
Kansas, there dwels one G. w. Grit
fin, who has tired of serving the Lord
for glory and few hundred year,
and is now willing to jeopardize his
"title clear to mansions in the Skies"
by swapping his clerical robes for a
government commission. Reverend
Griffin has made application for the
position of register of the HALEY
Land Office and mas received the in.
dorsement of host of Democrats of
his State. His principal forte is church
building. 1t is asserted that he has
had a church erected in every place to
which he has been sent in the capac-
ity Of a clergyman. If the Reverend
Griffin comes to this city he will find
the field open as he is a strict Is. B.
Presbyterian, and that denomination
has no place of worship here of Its
own.

Too Cold for Comfort.

There was one hindrance to perfect
entioy at the ball last evening
the lack of sufficient heating facilities.
Complaints on this score were num-
erous, particularly from the ladies,
who suffered from the cold. There
should be another stove or two placed
in the Theater, so that all even tenn.
perature may be maintained during
extreme cold weather.

the KAMEHAMEHA SCHOOLS.

The trustees of the Kamehameha
Schools, provided for in the will of
Her late Royal Highness Princess
Bernice Pauahi Bishop, have engaged
Rev. William b. Oleson, at present
principal of the Hilo Boarding
School, to take a similar position in
the School for Boys to be instituted
at Palama. AS soon as Mr.. Oleson
can make arrangements for the satis-
factory continuation of the seminary
at Hilo, he will come to Honolulu to
consult with the trustees regarding
plans for the new institution. After
ward he will 60 to the United States,
where he will spend some months IN
visiting educational institutions Of
note in which industrial training is a
leading feature, as it is to be in the
Kamehameha Schools.
The Daily bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Hawaii]) 1882-1895, 1886-04-08

The selection made by the trus-
tees, of a head for the Boys School,
will undoubtedly be commended
generally as an eminently judicious
one. Mr.. OJeson is very practical
educationist as we'll as a thorough
scholar, whose works as we'll as
words have given him high reputa-
ton in this kingdom.
The site selected for the BOYS
School is admirably adapted for its
purposes. Situated near the open
ing of Kalihi Valley, on elevated
ground, it is one of the most health
full spots within easy reach of the
city. The soil is suited for pastur-
age and taro culture, being there
fore capable of producing great
portion of the necessary supplies of
the institution. There are water
privileges on the lot, adding greatly
to its value. A stone fence is build
ing round the area with material
taken off the ground, by which the
land is cleared for cultivation while
the property is being substantially
enclosed.
The trustees appointed by the
will for the Kamehameha Schools
are: Hon. Chas. r. Bishop, Hon. S.
M. Damon, Rev. c. NJ. Hyde, d.
d., Mr.. G. M. Cooke and Mr.. w.

GERMANS AS C0LONISTS.

A friend has given us the reading
of an article written by Colonel
Rozsas, in California paper, COM
mending Germans above all other
nationalities, as desirable immigrants
to develop the resources of that
State. Particular mention is made,
in this regard, of people from the
grape-growing districts of the Rhine,
Moselle, Alsace-Lorraine and Swift
zerland, giving several reasons for
preferring them. This is a matter
requiring serious attention in pro-
noting colonization in this country.
The class of settlers to be obtained
should be primary consideration,
and to obtain people with means of
their own, it is essential, on our
side, that what this country has to
offer immigrants should be made as
agreeable as possible to them. To
this end Government aid as well as
private capital should be forth
coming, for having homesteads
meted out and furnished with such
artificial requirements as would
make them capable of being culti-
waited from the moment of their
occupation.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

Trading of liquors and firearms
in the Arctic, within United States
jurisdiction, is forbidden by the
United States Government. Similar
prohibition is in force ON the Russian
side. Two revenue cutters are sent
out by the United States, this sea-
son, and vessels caught with spirits
or firearms on board for trading
purposes will be confiscated, with
their contents. In spite of prohibi-
ton and the measures adopted for
its enforcement, some vessels that
have recently called here, on their
way north, are said to have taken
aboard large quantities of the first
named contraband for the forbidden
purpose.

of Kilauea, Hawaii, collapsed
