The oil market yesterday was barely visible
to the unassisted eye. The extreme fluctua-
tions were identical with those of the day be-
fore, and trading was even lighter. Brokers
were in anything but good spirits, and the
proposition to return to the old system of daily
deliveries met with considerable favor, princi-
pally because it would probably win back the
Standard, which alone can smile the clouds
away. There were few cash sales, but scarcely
anything was done in regular.

matter of the Estate of GEORGE MORRIS,

On reading and filing the petition and ac-
counts of Eliza j. Wilkinson, Administrative
with the viii and Codicil annexed of George
Morris, late OF said Honolulu, deceased, where
in she asks to be allowed 1881 20, aud charges

1t is ordered, that WEDNESDAY, the 18th

large shrubs, and to affect chiefly
the leaves, preferably on the under
side where they appear as dark spots
and patches of a dull and dingy as
pect. A keen eye, or magnifying
glass of low power, is sufficient to
reveal their true character.
The following is endorsed by those
who have given it a fair trial. as an
effective, and by no means expensive
method for disposing of the aphis
and all his works. The white varie-
ties are the easiest dealt with. One
ounce of crude carbolic acid dis
solved in a bucket of water, and ap-
piled to the affected plants every
day, by means of garden syringe,
will, in few days, give this kind
their quietus. The dark kind re-
quire somewhat stronger medica-
ton. For these, there should be
from a pound to a pound and half
of common brown or soft soap dis
solved in a bucket of water, and an
ounce of carbolic acid added to the
solution. This may, if preferred, be
applied with a large brush, spatter
ing it on pretty freely, and painting
it, so to speak, on the stalks and
branches. Perseverance in this
course will ensure the desired re-
suit.
The above is not theory, but the
reported experience of reliable wit
nesses who have given the measures
recommended a personal trial. We
are well aware that we are telling no
more than is known to some people,
but we are satisfied that there are
great many of our residents whose
grounds are being more or less dis
figured by the operations of the
aphis, and who are at a loss to know
how to deal effectively with the
enemy. Stronger solutions of car
bolic acid will kill the aphis more
promptly, but are likely to injure
the plants.

ON Appeag from Decree Of Preston, j.

BEFORE JUDD, c. ]. VI GULLY, PRESTON, BICK-
ERToN AND DOLE, J. ].
Opinion of the Court by Preston, J.
This is an appeal from a decree
made by Preston, J. whereby he Or
dered that a conveyance by the al
legged minor, Pakuakini, to the de-
PENDANT should be set aside and can
celled.
The nature of the case appears from
the decision of Preston, J.
At the hearing Of the appeal appli
cation was made on behalf of the de-
PENDANT, that he be allowed to intro
duce new evidence, and the Court
being of opinion that the evidence
offered was newly discovered and ma
terial to the just decision of the APP
peal admitted the same. Civil Code
Sec. $3.50.
The Court heard the new evidence
on the 18th and 18th February, and
4th March.
In addition to oral testimony tend
ing to show that Pakuakini was born
in the year 1866, the defendant put in
evidence the original record of births
in the district of Hamakua, kept by
G. w. D. Halemanu, the school agent
of the district, pursuant to law, in
which appears an entry of the birth
Kaiewe, the son of Noa and Kainoa,
on the I'd day of August, 1866, and
evidence was given that the child is
Pakuakini, the alleged minor.
BY THE CoURT:-After hearing the
testimony, and upon examination of
the said record of births, we are of the
opinion that the defendant has sus-
tanned his allegation that, at the time
of the execution of the deed, and at
the time of the institution of this suit
Pakuakini was over the age of twenty
years, and consequently that the
plaintiffs bill cannot be sustained.
a decree must therefore be made
declaring that Pakuakini was of age
when the said deed was executed,
and that the decree appealed from be
reversed and the bill dismissed.
AS the decree appealed from is re-
versed in consequence of the new evil
dence adduced, each party must pay
his own costs of the appeal and in the
Court below.

AN ENEMY TO OUR GARDENS.

We learn from various sources,
and our own limited observation
confirms the report, that good deal
of damage is being done just now in
this neighborhood by several varie-
ties of the insect parasite known as
apLis. Rose bushes and other flow
ering plants in gardens, as well as
shrubbery, and even some kinds Of
trees, both fruit and ornamental, are
attacked by this minute, but form
liable enemy, and unless means are
taken in time to check its ravages.
the leaves wither and fall off, fruit
and flowers fail, and ultimately the
whole tree or plant succumbs.
OF the pest known under the gem
eral name given above, there are a
considerable number of species and
varieties. Those operating at the
present time in and around Homo
lulu may be divided into two gen
eral classes, the white and the black
or brown. The white appears more
especially on the stems and twigs of
plants, or on the ribs of the leaves,
having the look of small specks of
mould or when aggregated in con
siderable masses, resembling tufts
and lunches of fine cotton wool.
The black or brown varieties seem
to be more common on trees and

alleging that more than six months have
elapsed since he was adjudicated q bankrupt,

1t is ordered, that FRIDAY, the 29th day OF

cided upon. Should the prices be
reasonable, as they certainly should
be, on grounds both of equity and
policy, there can be no doubt that a
great many people will be glad to
avail themselves of the opportunity.
The advantages of the electric light
over that furnished by coal oil are SO
decided, that the latter must be, to
considerable extent, superseded.

MORE LIGHT.

The agent employed by the Gov
eminent to procure the various arti-
cles required for the additions to our
electric light system, authorized by
the Legislature, has completed his
work, and the greater part of the plant
is already here. When the additions
to the present street light system are
all in working order, the number of
lamps will be about doubled. The
nominal capacity at the present time
is sixty-two lamps, but the number
actually in use is only ffty-fiye or
six. The two additional arc light
dynamos lately received have a
united capacity of sixty lamps, and
the number which will be used will
be tifty-fve. One of these dynamos is
already set up and ready for work,
and the other will be in few days.
The work Of putting up the lamps,
stretching the wires, and making
the necessary connections will re-
quire little time longer.
The additional lamps will be used,
partly for extending the benefits of
electric lighting to a considerably
larger area than now enjoys it, and
partly for improving the ilIumina-
ton of that portion of the town al
ready supplied. Experience has
shown that the present lamps are, in
many instances, too far apart to
properly illuminate the intervening
spaces. This is owing largely to the
number of trees and the density of
their foliage, the shadows cast seem
ing all the blacker, and the sur
rounding gloom all the more impen-
etrable, from the brilliant glare just
beyond. 1t is intended to put lamps
where they viii, SO far as posi-
BILE, light up these dark pockets,
and render travel at night both
pleasanter and safer than it is at
present. A large part of the poles
for the lamps are already up, as our
readers have doubtless noticed.
In the matter of the incandescent
light outfit, the Government has
been quite fortunate The order
was for two incandescent light dyna-
mos of six hundred and fifty lamp
each, and thirteen hundred
lamps with sockets and other fix
lures complete. Owing to competi-
ton of two rival companies, two
thousand lamps have been procured
for the sum which was expected to
purchase thirteen hundred. These
have all been received, with wires
and other material required, also
large supply of carbons for the arc
lights. The two incandescent dyna-
mos are yet to arrive, but will in all
probability be here by the time they
are required for use. The incandes-
cent lamps are of the usual stan
dard, known as sixteen candle
power.
These lamps will be used, so far
as they may be required, for light
ing the public buildings and offices,
and the remainder will be rented out
to such private parties as may de-
sire to be supplied with electric
light from the Government plant.
So far as we are aware, the rates to
be charged have not yet been de-

BALLOT REFORM HERE AND ELSE.
WHERE.

What is generally known as the
Australian system of secret voting
was inaugurated Ill New South
Wales, where, under its provisions,
bribery and other abuses at cleo
tons are claimed to have collapsed.
AT all events, the experience of its
working was so satisfactory that the
other Australian colonies soon fol-
lowed suit, and all with such good
results that even England, with
all her conservatism, stopped, for at
least once, to take a leaf out of the
colonial statute book.
Before the passage of the "secret
ballot law in Great Britain, it was
matter of common notoriety, based
on innumerable instances, and
proved by Parliamentary investiga-
tons in cases of contested seats,
that the elections in many parts of
the country were little better than
wild riots of bribery, corruption,
and ruffianism. OF late years,
elections are admitted to have be-
come such in reality as well as in
name-the candidate securing his
seat by actually receiving the largest
number of honest votes.
The new system was introduced
in Canada in 1868, and within the
last few years has become promi-
nent subject of discussion in a num-
Der of States of the American Union.
So far as we are Informed, Massa-
chusetts leads the way, the Austria
Ian system having been already
adopted in that Commonwealth, to
go into effect some time during the
present year. A law for reforming
the methods of conducting elections
in New York, embodying substanti-
ally the same features, was prepared
with great care and passed by the
Legislature of 1888, but vetoed by the
Governor. A bill Of the same char
acter has just been killed in the Cali
fornia Legislature, where it was sup
posed to have good prospect of sue
cess. Notwithstanding such set backs,
the question of ballot reform is be-
coming yearly more prominent in the
United States, and will doubtless
soon be practically tested on large
scale in that country.
Hawaii came very near getting in
ahead of almost all the American
communities, in order of time, in
making provision for an absolutely
secret ballot. The motion by which
the outdoor ticket system was
incorporated into the new election
law, as against the Australian
SYSTEM" only passed the Legislature
by the skin of its teeth, eighteen
mobiles and representatives voting
for, and seventeen against.
1t will be remembered that the
grounds on which the secret ballot
was discarded were; briefly, that
considerable number of voters in the
kingdom are illiterate and would
need to have their ballots marked
for them anyway. 1t remains to be
seen, and the election of 1890 will
probably show, whether the action
Of our Legislature in this particular
was wisely taken. Whatever the
result may be a year hence, there
can be little doubt of the ultimate
adoption of the secret ballot in this
kingdom and in all probability
throughout the United States.
