THE HONOLULU WATERSHED.

EDITOR RUiLETIH The phrase

following remarks are comprehended

died for the public benefit.
1t was, doubtless, Z wise proceed
ing to have the cattle removed from
the areas in question: but the bene-
fit conferred thereby was not an TN
mixed advantage, without following
up the plan by other improvements.
On the mountain sides, and in the
valleys, the grass and weeds are, in
many places, Il yard deep with these
formed heavy masses in which the
rains soak and are retained until
succeeding dry spell, when the
moisture eyaporates and makes the
air more damp than it would other
wise be. The evaporation thus Ga-
couraged, robs the watershed of the
benefit Of much OF the rainfall, with
no advantage as o set-off to the loss.
The rich wastes Of sell and climate
in those extensive soitudes, COM
mencing just outside of the city and
extending for about five miles
among the mountains, are not only
lost for the purposes OF profitable
IS cultivation; but they are, by the
course pursued, rendered hotbeds
of vegetable decay, far more iniu-
rious TO health than were the condi-
tions when cattle roamed over those
domains of undeveloped wealth.
Every succeeding year adds to the
depth of the vegetation and to the
rottenness of its buried masses, and
the natural sequence is deterioration
of climate and water supply.
The remedy for these evils is not
far to seek, and would certainly be
found in cutting and burning off the
rank growths; selling the grounds
TO fruit-growers, conditionally fol
that purpose and no other; and
opening up these wilds by means o1
wagon roads where such highways
are possible.

their Offices and drawing their sala-
ries-leaving theidepartucntal duties
to be performed by such men as arC
at present placed over some OF th'
bureaus, such as Public Works anC
Water Works, the public canno
look for intelligent operations; ant
unfortunately this is the outlook TO
another year, unless another reyolu
tion should be goaded on before th'
next election. General and louC
echoes of public discomfort have re
Gently been common; and the in

at any time eliminate in public
demand for Ministers to resign, ,
demand which they would probably
not find it wise to disobey. The al

FARMER WA SHINGTON.

"In a study of the life of Washing
ton as a planter" says Dr. Toner,
lone thing that astonishes me is the
amount of energy the man was con-
stantly expanding, up early in the
morning, writing letters, planning
improvements for or visiting his
plantations, and encouraging or in
structing his overseers, both in seed
time and harvest, directing carpen-
tiers, millwrights and men at almost
every kind of work that he carried
on to develop and improve his plan
tations. He had three fishing land
ings on his estate, ferry and two
mills. These were all created by his
own energy, foresight and manage
ment. He was in the habit of con-
tracing with merchants in Alexan-
dria or Norfolk to take all his flour
fish, both herring and shad, other
than what he reserved for use on his
plantations. The fish were owned
and stored at his own fsh-house, but
at the risk of the merchant contract
ing. He was a thorough business
man, neglecting nothing that prom
1Sed a revenue and return for labor.
He supervised all his farm arrange
.nents. He made with his own me-
chanics. plows and harrows, repair
ed the farm machinery at his own
shops, and made substantial i'm
provements upon the plow in use in
his day. After the revolution, when
he enlarged his mansion at Mt. Yer
non and laid out the lands at the
west of the house in an ornamental
manner, he endeavored to transplant
to it specimens of nearly every native
tree that could at all add toits beau
ty or novelty, and his diary says
that while riding through the woods
or surveying, wherever he saw a
handsome specimen of some tree not
already planted, he would take note
of its locality, and at proper sea-
son would have it removed and
planted in the western lawn at
Mount Vernon. = Washington Star.

PRESS COMMENTS.
The Bottom Dropped Ont.

Pasadena seems to have lost much
of the old enterprise which once dis
tinguished her. The project for the
ed to fall through, and the Public Lii
brary building, which, with grounds,
cost $4,000, is advertised for sale
to satisfy debts of less than $500.
Pasadena has been the pride of South
ern California, and it is not pleasant
to see her citizens losing their grip like
this Los Angeles Times, MAY 10.
Possible Results of the Western Fever.
AS there are not enough farms in
Oklahoma to go round, the tide may
set back on the bleak New England
shores and on the long deserted farms
In New Hampshire and Vermont the
tasselled corn again may nod, the
grasshopper disport himself among
the vines, and the supply of squash
bugs be renewed. Seriously, the
growing demand for fruits and fresh
dairy products, before which the pin
guild dOughnut and the stratifed pie
are slowly disappearing, justities a
belief that there IS as much money in
COWS and Strawberries and apples
raised in these diggin's as in wheat,
corn and cattle on western plains.
And an honest prudent man can bor-
row money on an eastern farm as
readily as one beyond the Mississippi
pI. As a rule, too, better terms with
capitalists are possible when the al
legged security is nearer home Bos-

ADDITIONS TO OUR NAVY.

We shall have navy by and by.
In a few days the Secretary of the
Navy will invite proposals for the
construction of three new steel CRUZ
sers, under the provisions of the act
of Congress approved on the 18th of
last September. The dimensions of
these vessels will be 257 by 81 feet,
their depth 10 feet 6 inches, and their
displacement about 1000 tons.
Each of them will carry rapid-fire
guns, their complete armament being
two six-inch and eight four-inch
breech-loading rifles, two six pound
ers, two three Founders, two revolv-
ing cannon and a perfected Calling
gun. There will be also six torpedo
guns and a complete outfit for the
launching and firing of these shells.
With accommodations for 1875 Of
fcers and men, available room for
4S5 tons of coal and the most COM
plete machinery of modern times,
they will prove powerful addition
to our growing navy, and assist in
the respect with which the
United States are rewarded by other
n tiOpS

POLITICAL POWER OF THE WEST.

West of the Mississippi there are
now seventeen states, in number al
ready exceeding those which original
ly formed the republic. The trans
Mississippi states have many times
thepopulation and wealth-procuring
power of the little republic which
Washington helped to establish. But
when the census is taken next year
it will probably appear that at least
II, 900, 900 inhabitants are embraced
in the seventeen states and the terri
tories beyond the great river. And
yet SO rapid is the growth in popula-
ton that this number, though about
FIVE times the population of the or1gl-
alcolonies when they achieved their
independence, will be but little more
than the increase of the nation with
in single decade. The six New Eng
land states, New York and Pennsyl-
vania will probably have only about
the Mississippi which became part of
the union by Mr.. .Jefferson's purchase
from Bonaparte.
The center of political power, as of
population, moves steadily west
ward, and is now to be found in the
state of the president-elect. In 1880
the center of population was in Ohio,
and a president from Ohio was in
that year elected Since that time
the balance of power has been held
by New York, but probably for the
last time in the election which has
placed General Harrison in the chair
at Washington. Even if the next
congressional election should be held
on the present apportionment, it will
probably show that there are repub-
hcan states enough to elect a presi-
dent without the aid of New York.
General Harrison would have lacked
four votes without this state, but the
new states will add thirteen. On
the old apportionment with these
added there would be Ala electoral
votes, of which 2OS would be required
to elect, and the states which voted
for Harrison, without New York but
with the new states would cast 21O
electoral votes. In the next appOr-
tionment, which ought to be made
before another presidential election,
New York may not lose in represen-
tation, but the great republican
states of the northwest will probably
gain, so that the party which can
carry Indiana and the rest of the
Harrison states will not have occa-
sion to fear defeat, even if New Hamp-
shire could be led astray with this
state, New Jersey and Connecticut,
so true is it that the west has become
the ruling power in the republic
