One hundred years ago--about the time
that Capt. Cook was istne round these ISL

OF, wi tn pure artesia an water laid on, and
railway running through the back yard ready
to take him up to business every morning,

who have been assured good authority,

Samoan Affairs.

APIA, Sept. S.-The slumbering dis
affection amongst the natives, which
had lu led at the time of my last writing
has again given tangible evidence OF its
strong existence. Though Mataafa con-
tinues to reside at Male and TO tacitly
assume degree Of authority above that
a lowed to his rank as a high chief, no
overt action to contravene this has been
taken by King Maietoa, who is either
afraid of provoking an open quarrel on
not assured of his power to crush his
popular rival This inactivity is natur-
ally having bad effect upon the popu-
lar native mind, which is ever prone 10
draw conclusions.
The disafection has reached its height
in Manono, and an outrage has been
made by the followers of several chiefs
who are known to be supporters OF Ma
taafa's undeclared claims. A meeting
had been called in Manono to elect ma
tive governor for the district, and these
chiefs referred to took the opportunity of
the gathering to endeavor to persuade
the Manono people to make common
cause with Mataafa. These overtures
were for the most part rejected, and the
ENJOYS, IN revenge ueSlfONeu several
houses and plantations OF those who had
affirmed their staunch allegiance to
Malietoa's Government.
The Malietoa Government demanded
that the instigators of this riot should be
sent to Apia for trial, but there was con-
siderable delay in obeying the summons.
Eventually, however, after a visit OF the
U. S. S. Iroquois, with the American
Vice Consul and Baron Van Pilsach,
Malietoa's adviser, to Manono, six of the
principal offenders we're secured, and
being found guilty, were sentenced to
six months Imprisonment. 1t is felt
here that unless firm, yet temperate ac-
ton, Is at once taken, deeper complica-
tions will arise between the two factions
OF natives, and the position is regarded
as grave one.-N. z. Herald.

CORRESPONDENCE.
We do not hold ourselves responsible for the
statements made, or opinions expressed by our
correspondents

Mr.. EDITOR: Until my attention
was called to last Saturdays Elele had
not noticed anything peculiar about it.
l thought / had hold OF an ordinary
number of Ka Leo. Reading that paper
is like living in saw-mill, terribly
noisy, but after While you don't not &c
it. l saw, however, at once that there
was something queer about the paper.
The "buzz" saws buzzed more than
usual. 1t was not one whit more alb
surd than Ka Leo always Is, but it was
little more incoherent. The sentences
refused to be parsed a little more obsti-
nately than OF yore. 1t was Ka Leo,
"sheet in the winds eye," so TO speak.
Saturdays Elele shows that the only
thing necessary to an editor OF a journal
like Ia Leo, is to be out OF your head.
The Office might put up sign-''no
sane man need apply" Would it not
be good idea to turn it into sort of
Branch Insane Hospital. The hopeful
patients could be sent there until they
became incurable, and then they could
60 out to Kalihi. Or the paper might
move its whole plant out to the Asylum
at once. Only in that case the conya-
lescents would have to be carefully iso-
lated, for the paper would be as damag
ing to their poor half restored wits as
drop OF sulphuric acid on the palate.
The truth is that paper without prin
ciples or convictions, dealing only with
the salt waters Of bitterness, ought to be
a weekly. 1t takes time even for the
most noxious serpents to distil their
venom. The weekly secretions may be
considerable; the daily are SO diluted
that they are bound TO be harmless,
though nauseating. If the truth be told,
the present editor Cor syndicate of edit
ors) OF the Ka Leo is, to borrow Malvo-
los description of another fool, "a very
barren rascal"

days Elele and the ka Leo OF every day

bors, when he was rigging up a scare
