C0RREA AND PORTUGUESE
EMMlCRATl0h.

EDITOR BULLETIN Once more |
ask you for small space in your
paper in which to reply to some
more of the trash published in the
Portuguese papers of Honolulu. In
the first place they say that the land
in the United States is not good,
that if it was, it would all have
been taken up loug ago by the peo-
pie already there, and that they
would not wait for any of the Portu-
guese to come there and enter land
for hOmesteads.
Nov, it seems to me that the
Portuguese papers in Honolulu are
publishing some very foolish and
senseless articles in inserting such a
mess of humbug in the columns Of
their papers.
Every man and woman, with any
knowledge at all, knows that there
are in that little country called the
United States OF America, at the
present time, about sixty million
people, and that there is room
enough for as many more, and then
have land enough for all the POrtu
guese that can find "a way to get
there, There is as good a chance
there now to take up land as there
was sixty years ago, and there Will
be just us good a chance at any

find the youngsters very easy TO
manage, very tractable, and remark
ably thick-skulled. Anything q
kanaka boy or girl can see they
acquire readily enough. They learn
to write beautifully, have a natural
talent for drawing, and nearly all of
them are good singers. But it is
hard for them TO twist their thick
lips around an English word, and
harder still to remember how to
spell il. Anything that requires the
exercise of the reasoning powers,
mathematics particularly, breaks
them all up. Many of the incidents
of school life are most comical. My
pupils are learning a language for

they know nothing of, and they have
a way of calling spade n spade

TAX ASSESSORS.

AT its last session the Legislature
enacted a law "tO amend and regu-
late the law relating to the appoint
ment and tenure of office of tax as
SCISSORS and tax collectors, and the
assessment and collection of taxes"
This Act, for purposes of taxation,
divides the kingdom into four divi-
sions, the first of which consists of
the island of Oahu, the second of
the islands of Maui, Molokai, Lanai
and Kahoolawe, the third of the ISL
and of Hawaii, and the fourth of the
islands of Kauai and Niihau.
The second section of the Act pro-
vides that "the Minister of Finance,
with the approval of the Cabinet,
shall, on or before the first day Of
April, 1889, appoint an assessor
and collector of taxes, to be called
the Assessor, for each taxation
division of the kingdom"
The duties of the assessors are
generally stated in section A, as fol-
lows: Each such assessor shall,
within and for the division for which
he is appointed, do and perform all
of the duties heretofore directed to
be performed by, and shall be sub
ject to all the obligations and penal
ties heretofore imposed upon the
several tax assessors and collectors
for the taxation districts situate
therein, except as otherwise proyid-
cd by this Act, "
An importantproyislon of this Act
is thus expressed in section HI
"For the purpose of equalizing as
sessments of real and personal pro-
perty as far as practicable through

out the Kingdom, the several Asses
sors, with the Minister of Finance
as chairman, shall constitute
Board of Equalization, which shall
hold meeting in Honolulu between
the first of April and the last Of
June each year, at such time as may
be designated by the Minister Of FL
nance, when such general rules re-
garding assessments and valuations
shall be adopted as may be deemed
proper and equable, and not incon-
sistent with any existing law
The time within which the asses
sors are to be appointed will expire
on the first day of next month, q
fact of which the Minister of Fi-
nance is, no doubt. mindful. Be
tween that date and the last day OF
June following, u period of three
months, the assessors, comprising {
Board of Equalization, are to mee'
at Honolulu, for the purposes desig
mated in section II, just now quoted
1t seems to us that the work of thi:
Board will be so difficult and com
plex, at the inauguration of the new
system, that it should be com
menced as early as possible in th
period specified, TO avoid haste an
incompleteness. We trust that tn
most competent men available WI
be selected AS assessors.

A VOICE FROM HlL0.

EpIToR BULLETIN The boys
around IIilo are grinning for all they
are worth at the desperate manner
which certain would-be capitalists
arc making in their attempt TO un-
load upon the poor Portuguese, or
in fact upon any one that comes
along and is gullible enough TO bite.
Certain played-out lava lands which
they gobbled up for mere song
when there were prospects for
railroad and boom in Hilo, but
now that the boom has busted they
are attempting to foist upon the
Portuguese by calling the same cof-
fee lands. Ha! ha! ha! 1t would
make a horse laugh to watch the an
tics of these fellows. Coffee; why,
you couldn't grow Hilo grass.
Its too late in the day for the edi-
tor of the''Hilo Blow-hard, "or" Rec
ord" to give taffy to the Portuguese.
Does he recollect his experience at
Papaikou Plantation 4 few years
ago? Now, for him to come to the
front and shoot off his mouth to the
planters as to what they should do
to prevent the Portuguese from
leaving. Bah! it's sickening.
The Planters in this district are
doing all in their power to make life
bearable to their help. We never
hear of men complaining on the
Waiakea or Onomea plantations.
Mr.. Kennedy has furnished land
and cane seed to some Of his men
and for the last two or three weeks
they have been busy taking off their
crops. All seem to be satisfied.
It's not the planters or their help
that are making all this fuss. 1t is
few outside "sharks," who as l
said before, find themselves in a
mess with a lot of lava land on hand,
and in their agony cry aloud. "Helr

The Materials Used for Making Cheap
French Wines.

French Wines,
New York Graphic.1
I have some friends uptown whose fat
windows look out upon a courtyard that is
used by neighboring restaurant proprie-
tor. The restaurant is rather nice little
French place, where you can get table
d'hote dinner for go cents, with wine. 4"
Now the point of this story is that my
friends see that wine made-yes, and
even my eyes have looked upon that sight.
It's q simple process. Pierre comes out
with a small keg, drops a powder into it
and fills it up with croton from the hydrantl
Sometimes he pours little out to examine
the color and then puts in a little more
powder or water, as the case may be. The
astute Pierre is noticed to never make any
tests by tasting. 1t would be interesting to
know what he does drink.
1 told an acquaintance, who is in the
habit of patronizing these cheap table
d'hotes with wine" this story, expecting
to see him turn pale and shudder, but he
proved himself a philosophical brute, and
only said that while he did not think the
vim ordinaire of his favorite table d'hotes
was in the least a beverage for the gods, nor
for him when he was in funds and could
afford something better, yet when he wasn't
he found it suited his digestion much better
than ice water, and that as long as that was
the case he did not care whether the bev-
erage was made with powder and pump
or not.

Instances of Peculiarly Defective Hearing

IA great deal of attention is given by the
Federal Government and by railroad cOrpo-
rations to the matter of color blindness in
persons who seek to qualify for the duties of
pilots, engineers, brakemen, etc., and it is
attention wisely bestowed" remarked a
prominent physician yesterday. "But as
yet these same critical authorities have
paid but little. if any, attention to the Sural
effects in river and railway employees.
1t has been my duty to study the subject
of defective hearing in railway en-
ployes, and I have discovered, with amaze
ment, that there are many ears which are
peculiarly sensitive to certain classes of
sound and peculiarly deaf to other classes.

could not hear ordinary conversation under
such conditions as make it audible to the
ordinary ear, and who could yet understand
the same conversation carried on at the same
pitch In a room where hundred sledges
were clattering upon iron boiler shells.
/ have also discovered that there are per-
sons who cannot hear locomotive whistle,
except when it is close bY, and yet are not
suspected of any defect of the hearing.
remember case OF this kind, which came
up in court, where farmer stopped and
listened for the locomotive whistle before
crossing the railroad track. He failed to
hear it, and on proving that he had stopped
his team he secured damages for having been
run down by the engine, and yet the whistle
was blown and the farmer failed to hear it.

tests be applied to the hearing of persons

A PREHISTORIC CANOE.
Wood Well Preserved for Ages in a Bed of
Sand and Leaves.

WOOD We'll Preserved for Ages In beo OF
Sand and Leaves.
Manchester (Eng.) Guardiah1
A discovery of extreme archaeological in
terest has been made upon the Barton sec
tion of the Manchester Ship Canal. While
the excavators were at work in what Is
known as the ''Salt Eye" cutting, the steam
navy brought to lights prehistoric canoe.
It was imbedded In the sand about %
feet below the surface. With some diff
fculty the canoe was removed to shed
in the vicinity of the engineers office and
examined. It was found to consist of
portion of an oak tree roughly hewn and
fashioned. In length this relic of long
past age is Is feet inches from end to end,
with a width of 2 feet 6 inches. Notwith-
standing the lapse of centuries the marks Of
the ak are distinctly visible In the interior
of the canoe, the width of the blade of the
implement used--whether of flint or iron
being apparently about three inches.
It's impossible to fix the precise period
of the canoe, but the circumstance that it
bears no trace of a nail or any ironwork
may perhaps aid the formation of an opinion
upon this point The wood, particularly of
the bottom, is for the most part quite sound.'
A portion Of one side, however, which has
apparently been at some period more ex-
posed than the rest, has commenced to
crack, and to prevent the spread Of this pro-
cess Of decay, now that the relic has been
brought into contact with the air, measures
will at once be taken. The canoe rested in
a bed of sand and leaves, among which
hazelnuts were found. In the immediate
vicinity several large trees have been dis
covered, leading to the conclusion that the
bed Of the canal is being cut through what
was once forest. The ultimate disposition
of this interesting link with the remote
past has not been decided upon; but it is
hoped that it will be added to the archeo-
logic treasures in the museum at Owens
College, Manchester.

THE FIRST CIVILIZED CITY.
A Historic and Picturesque Place on the
Island Of Sicily.

A Historic and Picturesque Place on the
Island Of Sicily.
June Scribner.1
Ofall such cities there is not one which
is as little known, and which nevertheless
has played such a continuous and varied role
on the worlds stage, as Costrogiovanni, the
ancient Etna, which. had the great honor
of giving birth to the first civilization with
in the memory of Europe, that same civil
ization that a small Greek nation was to
bring to perfection and to light the world
with.
From the sublime crater Of Etna, raised
into the upper regions Of air looking over
sky and sea, the eye takes in the whole
perimeter of Sicily, and in the midst of its
mountain ranges and its valleys-thst re-
semble the waves of stormy sea petrifed
by some mysterious power-there appears
as a great vessel, solitary and mighty,
anchored in the midst Of these petrifed
surges, o crag shaped like truncated cone.
It is on this rock, whose situation in the
center Of the island caused it to be called BY
the Greeks the navel of Sicily, that Cas-
trogiovanni is perched, like true eagles
nest, in an impregnable position.
