RIGHTS ON GUANO ISLAND.

In 1856, when there was a good
deal of excitement about the discov-
cry of islands containing deposits of
guano, Congress enacted law which
provided that when any citizen of
the United States discovered de-
post of guano on any island, rock,
or sea, not within the lawful juris-
diction of the Government, and not
occupied by the citizens of any other
Governments, and took peaceable
possession thereof, that island might
be regarded at the discretion of the
President, as appertaining to the
United States. Careful provision
was made in the law for the per-
petuation of the record of the
notice of the discovery and for
proof of the same. The conditions
having been complied with, the law
gives to the discoverer or his assigns,
provided they are citizens of the
United States, at the pleasure of
Congress, the exclusive right of
occupying such island for the pur-
pose of obtaining and of selling
guano. The law fixes the price at
which the guano may be sold, and
provides also that no guano taken
from any such island shall be sold
except for the use of the citizens of
the United States, or of persons resi-
dent therein. The discoverer is re
quired to give bonds to that effect,
and a breach of the conditions works
forfeiture of all rights under the
statute. The introduction of guano
from such islands is regulated as is
the coasting trade between different
parts of the United States, and the
same laws govern the vessels which
are engaged in it. The penal section
of the act provides that all offences
committed upon any such islands by
any person who may land thereon,
or in the waters adjacent thereto,
shall be deemed committed on the
high seas as on board a merchant
ship or vessel belonging to the
United States, and shall be punished
accordingly.

SING SING GENTLEMEN.
Who They Are, What They Were, and
What They Have Come To.

Who They Are, What They Were, and
What They Have Come To.
The records of the famous State
Prison contain a striking array of
gentlemen" which shows how crime
levels all distinctions. Look at the
stylish quintette: Ward, who was
the accomplice with James d. Fish
in the Marine Bank fraud; De Baum,
who robbed the Park Bank of
$4,000, and Bodine, the lawyer, who
robbed his employers of $25O,OO0
through forged mortgages. Then,
too, there is Allen, late President of
street railroad, and the name
of Jack Sharp would have been
added to this number had not
death relieved him before his re-
moval to Sing Sing. Reader, these
men are all so-called gentlemen.
They were arrayed in fine linen and
Jared sumptuously; and yet here
they,are, wearing short hair and
striped clothing, each serving out
his sentence in common with the
vulgar herd of crime.
Among other gentlemen" who
went to serve the State in the same
unattractive manner were Hunt, the
note forger; Gilman, the forger of
insurance certificates; Stokes, the
slayer of Jim Fisk, and Fish, the
wrecker of the Marine Bank. Crime,
however, recognizes no distinctions
in rank, and there is one place, at
least, where the aristocrat and the
plebeian reach common level; but
so long as men of refinement and
high position throw themselves
away in so reckless a manner they
cannot complain of consequences.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1889-11-12
LOYALTY.

One prolific cause of confused
ideas is the vague and loose way in
which words are used. Some words,
which really derive their value from
the relation they bear to some others.
come by careless use to be rever-
enced for themselves alone. Such a
word is loyalty. No one can be loyal
without having something to be
loyal to. 1t may be devoted to a
| government, constancy to a cause,
| attachment to a person, fidelity to a
principle. Now, If loyalty
be thus pitted against all change, it
must be foe to progress, for if no
one changed his ideas or methods,
if no one lifted his thoughts or his
contnct from lower to higher
plane, the world would stand still,
and stagnation would insue. An
obtuse and stolid adherence to things
as they are should never be digni-
fed by the name of loyalty. There
is an unintelligent devotion to ones
country that refuses to see single
imperfection in it, or single point
of superiority in any other It
rather prides itself in despising other
nations, and in ridiculing or censur
ing them for everything in which
they differ from ones own.
There is a loyalty higher than any
government, any party, any cause,
or any friend can claim; it is the
loyalty we owe to our own honest
convictions of truth and right.
Whenever these conflict with lower
claims, the latter must give way. In
all healthy growth of mind and
heart this process is continually go
ing on. 4 A man embraces
certain political views or a scheme
of social life, which seem to him at
the time to contain the best materials
for humad welfare, and he upholds
them earnestly by word and deed.
As years bring to him more exper-
fence and wisdom, he finds them de-
fective here and injurious there: he
sees higher truths and better plans,
and transfers his allegiance. Those
who remain where he stood some
times call him disloyal, but is it so?
Is not the highest form of loyalty
that clings always to the best and
truest that can be found? Is it not
disIoyalty of the worst kind that for
sakes the better for the worse-that
lets go what is known to be good and
right for the sake of clinging to a
past and inferior conception, or for
the sake of maintaining a nominal
agreement with those from whom we
differ in reality?
The test of true loyalty which
each one may put to himself is, Gam
I faithful to truth, to right, to duty,
to love? Am / constant to the best
methods [ can fnd-to the higher
ideals | can form?"

Improved Shipbuilding.

The Bath Times says that VIM.
Rog ers is building at Bath, Me-, a
bark which will have some note
worthy improvements. The spaces
between the floor timbers have been
filed with Portland cement so that
there is smooth surface along the
floor which allows the water to run
off as freely as over sheathing.
Stringers have been run along over
the floor timbers parallel with the
keelson, and across these have been
laid hard pine beams. The ceiling
will be laid on top of these small
beams and thus clear air-space and
waterway has been left under the
entire floor. The we'll rooms are in
open spaces between the frames, and
thus, since all the other inside sur
face is smooth the water will all run
to the wells and permit of the ship
being pumped out perfectly dry.
Yet, in case of Leakage, there is
plenty of space under the fioorings
to accommodate large amount of
water before the cargo could be wet.
This floor is made level with keelson
and thus smooth surface for storing
is obtained in the hold. The keelson
itself should be exceptionally strong
Angle irons run down between the
separate tiers of hard pine and bolts,
running through the whole timber
and these irons are headed on either
side, making this mass of timber
practically one stick. Z

Land Grants.
fruit farm.

The following is taken from Gov ernor Wolfey's report
 Our Territory has number of land grants that aggregate very large area. Most Of them have been reported on by the Surveyor General and are now before Congress.
 IL is to be hoped that Congress will at an early day take action thereon. Non-action tends to very greatly un- settle all the country around these grants. In most instances tie Sur vevOr General has cut down the limits claimed by the grant owners, and out side these lines thus outlined settlers will and do claim the right 10 settle, while oi course the grant owners at tempt 10 hold to their outer limits, and this often causes serious trouble, and there never will be quiet until ,he titles are finally determined.
 Then, too, there are some that are entirely fraudulent and should be wiped out Among these is the pre- tended Perslia grant. claiming one hundred and fifty miles long by fifty miles wide, and covering the very bes; portion oi the Territory.
 I have had occasion to very care fully study this grant, and my very decided opinion is that il is an entire fraud, and that the government should bring criminal suits against Reavi> and these directly aiding him as heirs to the supposed title.
