acres, coffee land at $4,000 and
pasture at 100000 acres. Much
of this latter is suitable for
farming. good deal for small
farming. Roads almost everywhere
and irrigation in many places are
prime necessities, in many districts
yet to be provided.
Some 1000 acres have been laid
out as holdings, under the Home
stead Act, and the judge assures us
that ''under the vigorous admins
tration of the last biennial period
this Act has been doing a work of
incalcuIable value, and seems to
have been doing it we'll"
We wish, however, to invite the
attention of our readers, with a
view to legislative action in
the coming session, to the adj
vantages which may be gained
to the public and to the nation at
large, by the nation itself becoming
the proprietor Of the Grown lands.
The transferance of the right to
certain lands held as the property
Of the Crown, from the sovereign
to the people, that is, to The admin
istration of the representatives of
the people, has been accomplished
before now, without revolution or
confscation on either side. In the
course Of the reign OF George III.
in England, almost the whole do
main Of the Grown was placed in
the hands Of Parliament, the latter,
in return, undertaking to provide
the Crown, out of the revenues
OF the lands surrendered,
suitable revenue for the Royal
family and the expenses of
public functions still expected of
them. This arrangement is still in
existence, and from the improve
ment in value of various properties
the country is in enjoyment of a
very considerable revenue over and
above that allotted to the Royal
family.
There need be no insuperable diff
ficuity in the way of making a SIM
liar arrangement here; the lands
thus acquired to be devoted, wher-
ever suitable, to the establishment
of class of small freeholders, for
hidden to ALLEVIATE or to mortgage
their holdings but to the Govern
ment, and bound to certain terms
of residence, improvements, ETC.,
to those in use in New Zea-
land, as quoted by Judge Dole.
There is much more to be said
on this topic, and we hope soon to
return to it, as we consider it
among the most vital measures
for legislative action.

HOMESTEADS FOR HAWAIIAKS.

The very able paper read by the
Hon. Justice Dole before the Social
Science Association dwells upon
and throws q considerable light
over what is probably the most i'm
portant question now in view, and
now within the range of practical
politics, viz: "The political import
ance of small land holdings for the
Hawaiian Islands"
The Judge shows forcibIy the
evils which, already in existence,
are threatening to become more
and more intense every year, I'M
less they are first acknowledged to
exist, acknowledged to be evils,
and then wisely and temperately
examined into, with an honest de-
termination to grapple with them
at once and by opposing end them.
1t is fOrcibly pointed out how the
spread of common school education
and the admission to the elective
franchise of all residents, with the
exception of Chinese and japanese,
tends to place the governing power
more and more in the hands of
numbers, who, disconnected with
mere unintelligent plantation Ia
Dor, crowd into the towns and then
living in condition unsettled for
want of regular employment and a
stable tenure of house holdings,
unconservative for want of an in
vestment in law and order, are dis
affected against society and its au-
thorlty and regulations"
Having pointed out what is
wrong, showing that there is an
evil in the body polite, growing
and gaining strength, the Judge
looks round for a plan to convert
this threatening danger into a
source of strength to the common
wealth, in fact to convert the dis
content into a contented voter, to
give an interest in the maintenance
of law and order, to those who
otherwise might be ready to say:
"Happen what may, L have nothing
to lose"
The most effective and perhaps
the only way of accomplishing this
result is, in. the opinion of the
Judge and OF most other people
who have given any intelligent at
tention to the matter, generous
opening of our public lands to set
tiers, giving particular attention to
the occupancy OF small holdings" "
We take Judge Dole's figures,
which nearly agree with those of
other of the best informed authori-
ties, and put the proportion of
Government and Crown lands suit
able for cane-growing at 10000

The total value of imports into
the United States during the first
eleven months of the last fiscal
year was S771 ,455, 2O2, as compared
with S713,975, 467 for the CORES
ponding period of the preceding
year, an increase of $50, 579,735.
The merchandise admitted free of
duty amounted to 1927, 342,749,
against s243, 977, 2Sl in the previous
year, an increase of $780, 68,
while the dutiable merchandise
showed an increase of s25, 785,93
The exports of merchandise for the
eleven months were valued at
sS16,217,2s7, against s793,221 ,564
for the corresponding period of
the previous year, an increase of
s22, 995,733. The statistics for the
whole year will prove interesting
as showing the effect of the new
tariff. 1t Is. however, pleasant to
note that the trade, instead of
languishing is constantly increas-
ing.

ONE of the most interesting facts
shown by the recent returns of the
British census, is the steady in
crease in the population of Scot
land, which now numbers over
four millions. At the same time
the population of Ireland shows a
steady decrease, and is now much
q less than it was ninety years ago.
The migration is however chiefly
from the south of ireland, for the
northern cities not only hold their
own, but show steady increase.

Steamers crossing the Atlantic
in five days would be apt to secure
the portion of a very profitable
passenger traffic. A recent esti-
mate of the expenditure of Amer
lean tourists placed the number at
$4,000, their passages out and
home at 5000 apiece, and their ex-
penditures on the other side at
$500 apiece, total of 500, 100000.
1t has since been claimed that the
number of tourists should be esti-
mated at 100000, the average ex
penditure being $1,000 a head, a
total of 100000, 600.

Testifes for His Brother.

In the Elliott Murder Trial-P. IL. Elliott
Testifes for His Brother.
COLUMBUS, o., July s.-The scenes
characterizlng the Elliott murder trial
to-day were highly dramatic. p. b
Elliott, the brother of the defendant,
and the one whose bullet ended the life
of Osborne was put on the stand to test-
fy on behalf of his brother. In reciting
the threats of the deceased against his
brother and family, the witness was
overcome by emotion. He stated that
Osborne fired the first shot at his
brother, and was prepared for the de-
PENDANTS as they came up the street.
He said that after he was struck by two
bullets from 0sborne's pistol, he retreat
ed TO the street, but. then turned and
ran into the hat store TO lay down. as
he thought he was mortally wounded.
In there he was intercepted in his
effort to get out by Osborne. In the
scuille the deceased's hand squeezed the
witness fingers pressed on his revolver
and the shot following was tho one
which killed Osborne. At this time he
claimed blood was squirting from his
head through his had, caused by a
wound made by Osborne and he believ-
ed himself fatally injured.
Cross examined by sattorney Booth
for the state the witness underwent a
terrible ordeal. The hat wor by him
was produced, and his attention called
to the fact that there was not a drop
of blood on the inside of it. During the
examination the witness was asked"
Did you not shoot and Kill Osborne
when he was down, and did you not
choke him after he was dead?"
In replying, the witness turned pale,
and starting TO arise In a forcible effort,
he sank back in his chair and his reply
of "No sir" was given In tremor Of
voice. The witness will be followed
tomorrow by the defendant, w. j.

ROME, July s.-Some additional and
important communications from an nu-
usual and reliable source in regard to
the crisis in st. Peters pence have just
come 10 hand. No one has found the
real secret of the dismissal Of Mgr.
Folchi, and the old administration and
appointment of new commission. 1t
has become known that Mgr. Folchi,
last winter, resolved in order 10 save
the banco di Roma, in which the Vati-
can was largely interested, resolved TO
establish foreign banks with the object
OF absorbing the financial securities OF
Rome which were known 10 be In dis
aStrous condition. Above all they
wanted TO save the banco di Roma.
Mgr. Folchi, having taken on account
Of the Vatican 10000 shares, the admin
istration of st. Peters pence found
itself involved nominally to the extent OF
$500, 600 lire. Mgr. Folchi had moreover
deposited in this bank the sum OF 81
600, coo lire. Mgr. Folchi proposed to
the Commission OF Cardinals that the
Vatican shonld enter the banking COM
bination 10 the extent Of 100000 lire.
Mgr Folchi ignored them and carried
out, in conjunction with Lazzaroni and
Baron Buoncampagni, the financial pro-
ject which had been submitted TO and
rejected by the commission. Mgr. Fol-
chi first started bank named La Credit
in Paris, but was called to order and
dismissed by the Pope. Twice the
project of starting Catholic bank in
New York had failed, but this last time
as Baron Lazzaroni, rich banker, and
Mgr. Folchi with the supposed support
of the Vatlcan) were the promoters OF
the old idea, it was believed that success
was assured. Now, however, the fall of
Mgr. Folchi has put everything in peril.
OF the 31O0O,OO0 lire controlled by
the Vatican 6,OO0,OO0 are still in danger,
as IL consists Of loans made to Roman
princes and Of large number of depre-
ciated securities. A reaction has set in
in favor of Mgr. Folchi, and it IS

Canadian Convent Burned.

ST. HILAIRE, QUE, July s.--The con-
vent OF La Providence, commonly known
as that of the Sister Gadbors, situated
on RlchelIeu river, below Beloit, was
burned to-day. The fire broke out at 4
o'clock this morning In an upper story
Of the building, and spread rapidly
over the whole top fat. A
number Of the inmates slept on this
flat, and they had very narrow escapes
only managing 70 get out In their night
clothes. Neighbors succeeded in saw
ing most Of the furniture In the lower
flats, but nothing could be done In the
way Of subduing the flames. The build
ing was left 10 It's fate, and In few
hours was a smOuldering heep Of ruins.
The Sisters devoted their time 20 the
education Of deaf and dumb children as
well as Others. The building cost S45.-
600. II Is reported that there was
$50, 900 insurance on the building aud
its contents, but this amount will
scarcely cover the loss.
