Farming a Good Occupation.

/ dislike to see in agricultural journ-
ais complaints that farming does not
pay; that the farmers lot is very
hard one; that the farmers wife is a
slave, etc. Such complaints are not
infrequent in our agricultural papers
South and North, West and East.
They ought not to appear
In this blessed country of ours, the
best for the people of any on the
globe, no man is bound down to caste.
We have not the least semblance of
those unbreakabIe bonds which hold
men to certain planes of action. If
then, farming is such q hard, un-
profitable vocation. why do you not
forsake it and do work less unpleas-
ant and better paid? You
are perfectly free TO do this,
you are not compelled to be a
farmer by the laws of the land or the
customs of society. The only thing
that can prevent your doing other
work is your lack of ability and skill.
II you lack these, no wonder you find
farming Improbable, and the fault
is not with farming, but with you.
Nowadays ''anv fool can farm only
so long as he is backed by a good
bank account Hyou lack the ability
and business training necessary 10
the merchant, you lack what is neces-
sary to the successful farmer, and YOU
should complain of what you lack,
not of farming
1t does no good to make complaint.
You may grumble about farming until
death takes mercy on the world by
stopping your tongue, and instead OF
lettering your condition thereby YOU
will make 1t worse. If there is any
fault it is with you. and. therefore.
you should spend your allowable leis-
ure in self-improvement. not in blub-
bering Let each one make the spirit

cess among the masses; and conse-
quently those for whose especial
benefit such movements are intend
ed, did not attend the meetings. In
other words, the sympathy of the
masses is opposed to the political
supremacy of the missionary party
in whatever character they assume.
Sad experiences in the past, which
are still remembered and no hopes
of any improvement in the stereo-
typed policy of the Boston clique,
warn Hawaiians to beware.
Political power is essential to the
pecuniary success of the missionary,
or so-called reform party and that
desideratum is just what Hawaiians
should not let those shutters have.
At present all the Government
offices are tllled by missionary
cousins, uncles and aunts, and a
thorough clearing out of Govern
ment "nincompoops" is needed be-
fore the party polite of these
Islands can be free from political
corruption and absolution.
The sentiment expressed in the
letter of "Clan Boston" last Tues
day in the BULLETIN is generally ap-
proved by the public, and is fully
endorsed by A RADICAL.

A WORTHY OBJECT.

EDITOR BULLETIN:-Allow me
little space for worthy object. 1t
is the case of Mr.. John Voller, who
for the last Is years, barring few
months, has attended to and been
responsible for the furnace, the
whistle, and the steam boiler that
drives the whole machinery of the
Honolulu Iron Works. For the
period named he was daily the first
on duty and the last to leave. Who
ever heard of Voller's whistle being
far out or neglected.? Sundays and
holidays ever found him fitting his
charge for tbs following day
cleaning thu tubes, scaling the
boiler, etc. hGmble and unob-
trusive he pooled ON the even
tenor of his way: on duty he ate his
frugal meal. a wite and numer-
Gus family Of young children alb
sorbed his entire earnings, which at
best were small
Well, faithful Voller is no longer
able to be at his old post, and has
not been for some time past for he
has become blind-entirely and
hopelessIy blind. The glara of the
furnace for some ina'V years
| gradually dimmed his vision, until
the light of his eyes went cat. He
is unable any longer to WORK for the
support of his wife and Little ones,
and yet they are dependent upon
him.
The people at the foundry were
kind and raised subscription, but
this is all gone, and my object in
writing these lines is to bring this
deserving case to the notice OF the
charitable public. Can't something
be done? LABOR.
[We know the above to be needy
and worthy case, and would urgently
recommend it to the kind considera-
ton of the humane and charitable

THE REFORM MOVEMENT.

EDIToR BULLETIN "A headIess
and senseless article appearedin the
advertiser" this morning endeav-
oring to advocate the claims of the
so-called "ReforA Party" to CON
tinuance of public confidence; but
the arguments brought forward in
support of the position were re-
markably and painfully lame, and
the truth was only partially stated.
Remove the reform" cloak from
the Reform PARTY and what is left I?
Nothing but "missionary" in all its
hideousness of cant and intrigue.
The Reform Party and the Boston
Missionary Party are one and the
same-the same men, the same
church-faction. the same Hawaiian
skeleton and cross-bones, and the
same policy unmixed and unchange-
able.
Hawaiian residents have known
the "missionary" party too long to
be deceived by change of name, or
any of the lodges that the old and
played out missionary faction can
evolve. This is the reason why their
blue-ribbon movement had no sue

AN EXPLANATION.

EDITOR BULLETIN: In late is
sue of your paper, Equity" takes
me to task for eulogising Mr.. Aus
tin and defaming Gas he IS pleased
to imply) Mr.. Jackson. The writer
would also wish one to believe that
Mr.. Austin inspired that letter. 1
wish to correct any such inference,
and in justice to that gentleman say,
that he knew nothing about my let
ter until his attention was called to
the one from equity" defending
Mr.. jackson.
All that was said about the teach
ers and pupils of the Waihee and
Wailuku school, was learned from
the residents of those districts. L
was not acquainted with MIR. jack
son, either personallyIor by hearsay,
and consequently had no desire to
"run him down" or praise him.
What was said in my letter regard
ing the personelle, ETC., of the Wall
hee school was learned from some
of the parents who have children
there, and at the time was thought
to be reliable information. My let
ter was not written as charge
against MIR. Jackson, but as the
generally expressed opinion of the
residents of that district.
Whether personal feelings had
anything to do with the formulating
of these opinions or not | don't
know, but from subsequent inquiries
l should say they had, and in that
case my letter may have done Mr..
Jackson an injustice that was not
meant and for which l make the
"amende honorable" / wish, how
ever, to put Mr.. Austin in right
light before the community by stat
ing that he knew nothing of the con-
tents of my letter; nor has he in
any way, either by conversation Oh
otherwise, expressed himself to me
