AriZ0na'S Delegate on Land Claims,

On recent day, in the House O:
Representatives, at Washington, the
House being in committee of the
whole, considering the iniquitous
H B No 1913, providing for the es-
tablishment Of a United States
Land Court to settle private land
claims in Arizona and New Mexico
Mark A. Smith strongly opposed
the measure. He called attention
to the fact that the trainers of the
bill did not understand the condi,
tions affecting private land claims
existing in the different territories
that the territory of Arizona did
not need the bill, and it would be a
great wrong and downright oppres-
sion to pass it, inasmuch as it would
bring on a swarm of adventurous
claimants with a cloud of Mexican
land grants; that of the land grants
in this territory it was doubtful if
two of them were valid that pres
ent occupants of lands had braved
all dangers, endured untold hard
ships and now, that they were about
to reap the just rewards of their
labors, outside claims dug up from
the musty dust of ages, are held
threateningly over them by adven-
turers who, with one single excep-
ton, have never resided in the ter
ritory, and for the benefit of those
doubtful claims is this proposed
court sought to be established that
the bill might justly apply to Colo
RADIO and New Mexico, as many
people of those sections favor it,
but it finds no favor in the eyes Of
the people of any section of Ari-
Zona where all conditions pertain
ing to land matters are quite differ
ent; that the Peralta grant had
been put where it would do the
most good to claimants ; that it was
a most monstrous fraud which
would, should this measure pass,
bring financial ruin to many farms,
some of which are even now mort
gagged; that he should move that
Arizona be excluded from the ope-
rations of the bill
Should it pass, the settler would
give his all to the lawyer or land
shark that New Mexico had been
settled for years and the claims
there were numerous and for small
which had descended from
father to son, while in Arizona,
which had been settled by whites,
there were no such small holdings,
the claims all embracing enormous
tracts of country; that the presence
Of Reavis there lobbying for the
bill was sufficient to damn it; that
this was the last resort of the land
who had been defeated at
every turn. and now sought the es-
adjustment of a court which would
give them an unbounded field for
their nefarious work that the hon
orable representatives did not un-
1erstand that money would always
buy a Mexican title to American |
and; that any man with $4,000 |
could take a trip into Mexico and
bring back a title to American land |
and the same title would appear
lice and correct.
Delegate Smiths speeck was able
md to the point and elected much
applause. He introduced exhaust
We amendments to the bill, the pur-
port of which is to do away with all
claims having origin prior to the
reaties ceding Arizona to the Uni
ed States.-Prescott Courier.

TUESDAY, 1: SEPTEMBER IS, 1888.

BY THE steamer due to-day interesting
news may be expected. In the United
States the Presidential campaign inten-
sites as it approaches the close. The
indications are that Mr.. Cleveland will
be elected; his incumbency Of the office
has been honorable to the country and
creditable to himself he has shown an
independence of politicians and of ma
chine politics which was needed, and
which has strengthened him with the
people. 1t was a bitter pill with the
politicians to renOminate him, but they
were compelled to do it by forces which
they could not resist. The nomination
was undoubtedly popular one, but if
the election is made to turn upon the
tariff issue, the result is extremely
doubtful, for the opinions and wishes of
the American people upon that point are
not yet known with sufficient certainty
to determine the result. Mr.. Harrison,
the nominee of the Republicans, is a good
man and is strong man in the West.
His public record up to the present time
has been honorable, but he is not well
known the country over. He does not
represent the entire Republican party in
the sense that Garfield did. He is not
magnetic man, he does not carry the en-
thusiastic feeling that the name of Blaine
arouses. But Blaine could not be nom
mated because he is not trusted by
enough of his party to carry the election.
The Republican party does, however, re-
present the protective theory, and for
that reason may be triumphant at the
polls next November.

Postal Savings Banks in England.

AN interesting report on the postal
savings bank system in Great Britain
has been sent to the State Department
by Consul WalIing, of Leith. Nearly
every money order postoffice in the
Kingdom, according to the report, has
banking attachment. Any person can
open an account at any place, the Post
master making a record of the depos-
TORS name, occupation and place of res
ldence. Any amount from Is upward
will be accepted, and when the deposit
has reached a pound sterling it begins to
draw interest at the rate of 215 per cent.
a year. Drafts are made by filling out a
printed form, which is forwarded with
out charge to the central office in Lon
don, and thence warrant comes back
which the local Postmaster is required
to cash. To limit the privileges of the
system to the class of citizens for whose
benefit it was devised, deposits exceed
ing G2OO cease to draw interest.
The public a vantage sought in the
establishment of these banks is the Gull
tivation OF habits of frugality and thrift
among the common people, and the con-
venience which working men, CONNER
clal travellers and others who have to
move about from place to place find in
having what amounts practically to a
bank OF deposit in every town where
they settle down for few days. The
British system includes also life insur-
ance and annuity business, which does
not, however, attract as much favorable
notice as the banking operations. How
popular the postal banks have become is
shown by their growth in twenty-five
years from less than 179 900 accounts, of
an average value of $47 80, to more than
3 ,50O,0 600 accounts, of an average value
of nearly $40; and that it has not been
an eXtravagant luxury is proved by the
fact that the cost of management

OVER THE OAHU RAILWAY LINE.

Just at sunrise on glorious morning,
such a day-break as only Hawaii can
furnish, we started for Eva to glance
over the line and Eva terminus of the
first section of the projected railway.
The grass, trees, flowers, fences, every
thing sparkled with the dew. A few
tufts of white and 1eecy clouds tipped
the mountain SUBMITS; a cool air, fresh
from the northern ocean, waited down the
valleys and lent an unwonted vigor to
us and our horses. The blockade at
Leleo causes a wide detour to School
street, emphasizing the need of a new
street continuing Beretania to Liliha.
After the roughness of the Palama road
it was delight to roll over the smooth
hard road through Kalihi and Moanalua.
On account of the grade the railway will
run off makai from Palama, crossing Ka-
lihi-kai and Kahauiki good way below
the road; but in Moanalua it will tap
the center of that thriving and contented
looking settlement. The whistle of the
engine and roar of the cars will wake the
echoes along the cliffs and pals of that
old domain of Pele. A new life will be
Infused into our hitherto sleepy suburbs.
and the ancient Hawaiian as be suuats
on the ground pounding his poi will gaze
with establishment at the speed of the
iron horse. Will he realize that it is
whlrling him and his whole race into a
more and more complex life! The
changes in Kalihi and MoanaIua have
been so rapid that one needs to 90 ont
there often to keep abreast with the
times. The old road leading throuoh q
dusty wilderness has changed into a
pretty street with the fine buildings and
grounds OF the Kamehameha School and
many private residences, ON the one |
hand, while on the other, short distance |
off, fine rice plantation stretches to- |
wards the sea. In Kahauiki the mao
nificent artesian we'll near the road still
wastes its wealth of waters, although
mauka of the road banana plantation
shows how rich the soil and how pro-
life when 1t gets the water. In MOana-
ua improvement has been the order and
both sides of the road attest of what the
place is capable. Near the head of the
ralley where the village lies, stands

owner of the ahupuaa, is sink

prings in the valley.

ry but fertile section of country which. I

A Blooming Lord.

Lord Robert Cecil, Lord Salisbury's
third son, who is going to marry Lady
Eleanor Lambton, Lord Durham's sister,
is barrister, and was called to the bar
last January. He is considered young
man Of great promise and ability, and
the flower of the family. Lord Gran
borne is a good speaker, but, owing to
his Indifferent health, he has not had
many opportunities of distinguishing
himself. Lord William was a hard
working curate at Yarmouth, but is now
going to the rich family living at Hat
field. Lord James is a soldier. and an
other son, Lord Hugh, has yet to win
his spurs. Lord Robert ought to
succeed at the Bar; for he has
pleasant manner and appearance, is
a good speaker, and on his mothers side
ought to have inherited the legal quail
ties OF his grandfather, Baron Anderson,
who was one of England's greatest
lawyers, and who, besides, achieved the
distinction, never done before or since,
of being both Senior Classic and Senior
Wrangler of his year at Cambridge.
Lord Robert will be the first member of
the aristocracy, if he succeeds at the bar,
who will have begun his career with the
distinctive title of GO My Lord" No one,
believe, has ever attempted a legal
career in such circumstances, and it will
be curious to hear how Judges Will ad-
dress the noble Lord when he is practis-
ing before them.

Railways in the United States.

There are 100000 miles of railway in
the United States; 100000 miles OF rails
in length enough to MAKE twelve steel
girdles round the earth's circumference.
This enormous length of rail is wonder
ful-we do not really grasp its signif-
canoe. But the rail itself, the little sec
ton of steel, is an engineering feat. The
change of its form from the curious and
clumsy iron pearhead of thirty years
ago to the present refined section of
steel is a scientific development. 1t is
now beam whose every dimension and
curve and angle are exactly suited to
the tremendous work it has to do. The
loads it carries are enormous, the blows
it receives are heavy and constant, but
it carries the loads and bears the blows
and does its duty. The locomotive and
the modern passenger and freight cars
are great achievements; and so is the
little rail which carries them ALL

CORRESPONDENCE.
We do not hold ourselves responsible for the
statements made, or opinions expressed by our
Home StRadS.

Mr.. EDITOR: When, few months
ago. we saw the Government surveyors
tent roosting on the SUBMITS of our KO-
hala range, the sweet hope of a nice
home arose in many an AnglO-SaxOn,
German, Portuguese and Kanaka heart,
but, alas, as many thing in this chang
ing world, that hope was but a dream, a
waning shadow shattered by the Govern
ment advertising the sale of lease of
759 acres of land in Kohala.
Every week We read in the papers sad
complaints about hosts of people leaving
for more propitious shores. Now, should
not part, at least, of the problem, how
to keep the population here, have been
solved, if the Government had granted
homesteads? AS it is now, said lands
only profit to two or three cattle raiserS.
But one may object, some OF those
lands are 4" in lite" and plenty of law
suits may be encountered. Poor an
swer in my opinion. Disputes are as
liable to arise from a void lease, as from
a void SALE besides, only those lands
whose titles are not disputed could be
sold now, and the remainder later
Seven hundred and tifty-nine acres di-
vided in lots of from Is to 20 acres would
make from 40 to 80 persons happy, and
those and their children and chiidrens
children to many generations would
bless the Reform party.
Let us hope that the Ministers will re-
consider their decision and give the poor
man the only chance he has to secure a
home, as it is next to impossible for him
to buy foot of land in this district

Yonder, far away, is line of black,
A penciing faint on the deep blue sky,
That tells of the hurrying steamers track,
And now it fades from the watching eye.
