Let the ninety and nine families out
of one hundred be law to themselves
in their manner of living, instead of an
insane and fruitless attempt to ape the
style of the one hundredth family which
possesses wealth; then will our Ameri.
can homes become models and fore
tastes of the home above, and peace,
plenty, health and joy will be our con
slant heritage.
Lastly, as the preacher would say, let
kind but firm authority be maintained
in our homes, In some exceptional
cases the wife may be the stronger yes
sel may be the final appeal" in the
family government; but as a rule the
husband and father, by the direction of
inspiration and nature, must be the
head of the family, and should see that
true and wise authority prevail, certain

tells the wife to "guide the house." As

important matters, to her husbuaud's

AGRICULTURAL NOTES

When sheep have been turned into
orchards to devour the dropping fruit
which has been infested with codling
worms, they are prevented from eating
the bark by applying to it with brush
mixture of limewash, common or
whale-oil soap and sheep dung.
Moore's Arctic plum is becoming a
market favorite because of its early
bearing. dwarf growth, productiveness
and hardness, II was originated by Mr..
Moore of Ashland, Aroostook county,
and is an enthusiastic horticulturist in
spite of the inclemency of the weather
there. A visit to his grounds is a very
interesting study.
Whether succulent food has more to
do with keeping the digestive organs of
domestic animals in healthy working
condition than the balancing Of the food
nutrients to meet the demands of the
system, is a question that has not yet
been solved. The definite solution of
this problem may knock some of the old
theories out of existence. There are
those who seem to believe that succu-
ence is the one thing of all needed.
This may be so, but is it ?-Maine Far.

The pig has, perhaps, the most elastic
and changeable organization of any of
our domestic animals. 1t also has the
advantage of being able to digest all
kinds Of food as an omnivorOus animal,
and last though not least, it multiplies
more rapidly than any domestic animal,
even the sheep. Therefore it has been
at all times regarded, and properly, too,
as she animal par excellence for expert
ments in breeding, and the pig is the
best example of what men have accom-.
plished in the production of animals.-l

Farming does pay il conducted prop

takes man, in the strongest sense of |
the woed, to be farmer. Even il a
young man has mortgage on his farm
1t is often blessing to him. A young
man should not hesitate TO run a little
into debt to procure good farm. The
great secret Of success in farming is ma

age any community, and to give
ample opportunities either for demo
goguism or absolutism, or If you
please, for the rule of an oligarchy
1t is fair question whether the
time has yet come for the change I
suggest. When that change shall
be made, local self-government may
perhaps be adopted, SO that as far as
framework goes, the governmental
edifice will be in proper trim.
These are public questions of keen
interest, and it is we'll to have them
discussed on their merits. I trust
and believe that intelligent Ha-
waiians, especially the young Ha-
waiians, of whom not a few are stu
dents of history, will prove them
selves capable of sustaining a free,
representative government, and ap-
preciative of its blessings.
1t may be that l am wrong in say
ing that in the long run the Ha-
waiian voters, with all their lack of
experience and traditions in self
government, will show that they can
reason and act and vote wisely, and
not be misled by personal prejudice;
but such is my opinion.

A Case of Identity.

Mr. EDITOR: As there is some
question in the minds of the COM
munity who your article of Dec. 10,
1889, under the head of "a Suspect"
had reference to, would simply say
that it, no doubt, referred to me. /
send you the originals that came out
in the Evening Post of Nov. 20, and
the Examiner of Nov. %, both of
which youcan publish, if you choose.
/ would further say that while I was
in San Francisco in the early part of
last month, l was told by good
authority that an evil minded per-
son towards me, had written to the
officials in San Francisco, charging
that / was in that city for the
purpose of purchasing firearms and
ammunition for the natives here;
and further asking the officials of
that country to keep detectives
watching my movements. The matter
was too true, as l found that wher-
ever 1 went I was followed by S. F.
detective, whose name / will with
hold for the present. He followed
me day and night, and 1 saw him
last when was boarding the steamer
to come home. The strangest feature
about the whole matter seems to be,
that the S. F. officials, as [ was told,
had an order on the Hawaiian Con-
sulate- General in S. f. for the funds
to pay any expenses that were to be
incurred in watching me, and the
amount was to be charged to the
parties here.

Concerning the Saturday Press.

Mr.. EDITOR: In behalf of the late
Saturday Press and in justice to its de-
parted editorial writers, Albert G. and
Ralph S. Smith, beg to enter protest
against the unjust insinuation in your
editorial of to-day's issue, where, in
referring to the writer of the Elele, you
say, cit was the same leaden pen that
helped to sink the late Saturday Press %
To the general reader this conveys a
very erroneous impression, seeing the
Elele delights to misrepresent and ridi-
cule principles the Press sought to
uphold. The Press doubtless had faults,
but rather of caustic than of "leaden"
pens.
| am proud of the record of the Satur-
day Press as bold advocate of principle.
Having the courage of its convictions, it
dealt vigorously with all the questions of
the day and shirked not to speak of men
and measures as they deserved. In
conducting all the departments that go
to make up a Honolulu newspaper, l
feel safe to say that its five years. record
will compare favorably with any other
paper issued here before or since. Were
this not the case there would not be the
expressions of felt want with our news
papers of to-day.
And as to the writer OF the Elele edi-
torials, it is gross injustice to charge him
with responsibility in the demise of the
Saturday Press. The public knows
better. Respectfully,
