COMMUNICATION VERSUS ISOLATION

Stohd Indifference, consummate
stupidity and idiotic bungling were
among the features of political life
in the Hawaiian Islands for several
years, and the regular sessions OF
the Legislative Assembly degener-
ated, under the evil influences of
those times, into "a wild carnival Of
Legislative riot" Now that there has
been waking up, and the pulsations
of national life and vigor are begin
ming to be felt, there must follow a
healthy growth of ell the members
of the body, provided they are pro
perly connected together.
At present they are more or less
disiointed. We may agitate colon
ization and railroads on Oahu, and
well may Oahu be congratulated on
the prospects Of success looming up
IN these enterprises; we may agitate

Coffee culture, ramie culture, millet
culture, horse culture, sheep culture
and COW culture; but TO place any
OF all Of these enterprises on a safe
and permanent footing, we must Sc
cure prompt, frequent, regular and
cheap mail deliveries, together with
low fares and cheap freights to and
from all parts OF the Kingdom.
These are the factors of material
development in the great West OF
America. without them, millions
OF homes planted within, say, forty
years, would not be there to-day.
So long as immigration means $50
lation to the would-be immigrant, we
can expect to frd but few Of desir-
able class Of inhabitants disposed to
plant themselves in our waste places.
Such immigration can only be Sc
cured in any considerable numbers
when provision Is made for ready
communication with the big world
around them, and where there is
ready access to the highways Of com
merce. This fact has been fully re-
cognized and acted upon by the gov
ernments Of all new countries for
the past half century.
It remains for the Legislature
and Government OF the Hawaiian
Islands to move effectively in the line
of policy marked out and success
fully followed in the United States,
British America and the Australian
Colonies. Mails at least once in
each week between all points and
Honolulu, close connection with for
eign mails, with low fares, low rates
OF freight, frequent, quick and reg
nlar communication in every direc-
ticn are indispensable conditions of
material progress. Without these,
stagnation reigns.
Everything cannot be done in a
day, or in two years, but let it be
understood that the improvements
above indicated, together with reg
ular weekly steam communication to
and from the Coast, are the C5iee-
tive points at which we aim. Among
the pet measures Of the next Legis-
lature, one making liberal provisions
for securing these objects ought to
take precedence Of almost every
thing else. We are quite well aware
that it will cost money, and prob
ably considerable Of it, to carry out
the policy suggested. Large subsi-
dies, or what will look large to our
average legislator, may be required.
II so, then subsidize, and literally.
It will be better in the end for our
taxpayers to foot up even a large
sum per annum for purposes Of in
ternal trade and the conveniences of
civilized life than to be laying out,
as they are now doing, the same
amount to swell the bank accounts
Of the rich farmers of California.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

It should be stated that the pam
phlet on school matters referred to
in our editorial Of the 18th inst. was
largely based upon a report on edu-
cation IN the Hawaiian Islands pre-
pared by Mr.. Q. j. Lyons of the
Government Survey, and forwarded
to the Commissioner Of Education
at Washington in 1872 in response
to a request from the latter for in
formation on the subject.
We feel sure that the great ma
iority of the American people, re-
gardless of party preferences, will
consider it a matter of congratula-
ton that MIR. Bayard's administra-
ton Of the foreign affairs Of that
ountry viii end on the 4th OF
March, just twelve days from to-day.
He has done more to damage the
prestige Of the nation and injure its
influence abroad than any man who
has occupied the State Department
since the outbreak of the rebellion
In 1861.

A STOPPING figure and hating gait, &C.
companied by the unavoidable weakness
of lungs incidental to narrow chest, may
be entirely cured by very simply and
easily performed exercise of raising ones
self upon the toes leisurely in perpendic-
ular position several times daily. To take
this exercise properly one must take a per-
fectly upright position, with the heels to-
gether and the toes at an angle of forty
five degrees. Then drop the arms life
lessly by the sides, animating and raising
the chest to it's full capacity muscularly,
the chin well drawn in, and the crown of
the head feeling as if attached to string
suspended from the ceiling above. Slowly
rise up on the balls of both feet to the
greatest possible height. thereby exercis-

swaying the body backward out of the

Pruning Roses.

The low bush or dwarf form is the best on
all accounts for our SO called hardy roses
The shoots that grew the previous year
should be cut back in the early spring to
six inches or a foot of the ground
From these stems that are left will be new
shoots which will bear the present years
bloom. In all cases the shoots that flower
start from the wood that grew last year,
and the object of pruning is to keep this
new growth down to the ground, and to
regulate the amount of bloom by the guam
tity of last years growth that is allowed to
remain. In spite of the best of pruning
the tendency of the plant is to make its
new wood higher up every year, but the
skillful primer will attend to this and not
allow his plant to get up too far shoot
sometimes starts voluntarily, or, If not,
it can be forced out low down and
advantage is taken of it to renew the whole
plant, cutting away all the older growth
above it. Thus, with little care, the rose
bushes can be kept low, and in this form
they are easier sheltered in winter, easily
syringed, and their flowers are produced
where they are best displayed. The yearly
care required for dozen rose plants in
the garden need not exceed twelve hours
an hour apiece.
These remarks about pruning apply to
the most popular kinds of roses, those
commonly cultivated, the hybrid, perpetu
ais and MOSES. 1t would not do to prune
so closely the hardy yellow roses and the
climbing prairie roses. But the general
principle of shortening in the growth of
the previous year applies the sames to
these. The little Polyantha roses, also.
require be well cut back every spring

Peaches.

The following, from R. K. Slosson, of
West Point, Miss, shows from a good
authority some points of interest about the
peach. When we couple with it some
facts that we know ourselves, that not
onetenth of the troubles mentioned nv
this writer are in the way of the orchardist
in the great peach belt of Texas, we can
begin to appreciate the value that must
sooner or later be attached to our un.uualed
peach lands:
''Of all the fruits in the world the
peach is one of the very best. True. thew
cannot be kept like apples-they decay
soon after becoming mellow; but they
are dried by the ton, are canned in i'm
mense quantities and picked just before
they begin to soften, are shipped by hun
dreds OF carloads to all our large cities and
intermediate towns, where they are eagerly
sought after by all who are able to buy.
Were there anything like an equal distri-
button, not one half the demand would be
supplied. Though millions of trees are
set out annually, there is hardly chance
for over production. The peach is said to
have originated in Persia, and hence a
warm climate is it's natural home. 1t is
true, peaches do grow where it is quite
cold, but the quality is not of the best
and the crop very uncertain. One year
there may be fair crop; the next the
orchard will be but desolate wilderness
of dead trees. The peach borer puts in
bis appearance and requires strict atten-
ton in their season to save the trees. The
yellows sweeps off great many trees
every year, in many places destroying
whole orchards, and if we mistake not,
the true causes have not yet been discov.
cred, and consequently the remedies are
very uncertain or utterly worthless 1t is
recommended to cut and burn as fast as the
disease appears, but this does not prevent
the appearance of the disease next season.
Theoretical experiments, so far as we
know have failed to reach the root of the
evil. Again, even in warm climates the
crop may prove partial failure from the
trees poisoning too soon, and are caught
in nipping frost. Uncommonly warm
weather early starts the crop to Towering,
the fruit buds hasten to expand, and
cold snap very essentially shortens the
crop, If it does not destroy it altogether.
No disastrous intervening evils Detailing
the trees they are sure to bear most mum.
hcently, often are too heavily loaded for
fair, large peaches. One other enemy. a
curculio, but whether the same as stings
the plums we cannot say Some trees |
have very few stung, while on others
nearly all the peaches were wormy. One |
tree of large, red checked clingstones were
nearly all stung and worthless With all
these enemies in active operation, we need I
not worry about overproduction, so any |
