SOIL in which the seeds were sown just
previous to shipments The plants
averaged eighteen inches in height on
arriving in Washington. They were at
once placed under propagation and in
a short time the stock was increased to
80, 900 plants, which were distributed
through the Southern States. The
propagation and dissemination of the
plants formed an important feature in
the opere tion of the agricultural bur-
eau. then division of the Patent Of
fee, until 1861, when the war put a
stop to the business for the time being
After the war fresh supplies Of seeds
were imported from Japan. But in
1867 it was found that an abundance of
tea seed could be procured in some Of
the Southern States from plants given
away in 1853. For several years the
Department Of Agriculture distributed
annually from 5000 to 10000 plants,
reaching 10000 in 1876. BY this
means it was expected to popularize
the culture of tea as domestic pro-
duct, with the hope that public inter-
est would in time be directed to its
cultivation rs an article of commercial
value. Encouraged by reports Of suc'
cessful culture, supplemented by SAM
pies of manufactured tea of excellent
quality. the department devoted in
creased attention to the propagation
and distribution of plants. In 1873
and 1879 the number disseminated
rose to 80, 600 per annum.
The cultivation of the tea plant is as
simple as that of the currant or goose
berry The seeds should be sown in
nursery rows and the plants set out at
the end of year, five feet apart. No
leaves should be gathered until the
fourth year and the plants should be
robust and healthy before picking be-
gins. for that process weakens them.
A fair picker will collect twenty-five
pounds of leaves in a days work.
The early spring pickings make the
best teas. These yield the famous

is very thin, having a large proportion
Of juices as compared with the solid

That old. old web he's weaving.

house We learn that Punchbowl
hill belongs to the Crown Land es-
tate, and that it was leased in
August, 1882, for the term of thirty
years, to Kapiolani, then queen
and now the queen-dowager. Under
this lease she claims full possession
of the land and everything on it.
except as may be sublet by her,
and it is understood that this cut
ting of the trees is being done by
her or by her permission. The
lease under which she holds pos
session is in Hawaiian only, and is
signed by Mr.. Gibson and other
members of the Crown Land COM
mission.
The lease is not made on the
usual printed form used by the
government, but on a special form,
written for this purpose. At the
termination of the lease, it requires
that all houses, fences and other
improvements now on the land or
to be erected hereafter shall belong
to aud revert to the party of the
first part, j. e., the crown land COM
mission.
The trees on the land were there
when possession was given, they
were planted by the lawful head OF
the government for q specific pur-
pose-to constitute park for the
benefit of the citizens of Honolulu.
Taking this view of the case, 1t
opens question in which the peo-
pie are deeply interested, whether
anyone possesses the right to des-
troy this park, whether holding a
lease or not. In our opinion the
government should take immedi-
ate steps to ascertain whether the
lessee can destroy park under
the circumstances stated above.
And this may readily be done by
an injunction issuing from the
Supreme court, which would bring
the case before it.

there's another tickle, and the
plantation man who uses the
Breaker is tickled almost to
death.
1t was only couple of years
ago that the HENDRY BREAKER
was given a chance to show
itself at Paul Isenberg's ranch;
it jumped into popular favor
then, and has maintained its
position ever since. When a
man buys a certain article and
afterWard adds nine more to
his stock, it is pretty good
evidence that the article is
satisfactory. That's what hap
pened the HENDRY BREAKER.
Recently, the manager of a
certain plantation was chang
ed to another locality. He
had been using our Breaker; at
his new place, another make
of pillow was II use, almost the
first thing he did was to send
to us for two HENDRY BREAK

the success of the plantation.

THE stand taken yesterday in the
Council on reforming and limiting
government expenditures will re-
ceive the support of all. The abuse
which Mr.. Damon's resolution seeks
TO correct is an old one, but one
which should not be allowed to ex-
ist under good government. 1t is
to be hoped that the prompt action
taken by the Council will result in
saving the present administration
of public affairs from the financial
rock that has caused so many po-
litical wreckages in the past. If
the danger signal displayed by the
finance committee is needed, the
future will be smooth sailing.

VOICE FROM HA WAH.
Some Pointed Advice Given on
Revolutions.

Revolutions.
Mr.. EDITOR: The course pursued
by the Provisional government has,
in most cases, been approved by the
people of the nation; hut there are in
stances in their administration which
have not heen marked by that wisdom
which the circumstances of the occa-
sion seem to demand. Hawaii furnish
es the first instance on record where a
conqueror has put q weapon in the
hands of the conquered which can De
used against himself.
In past times deposed sOvereigns
were only too glad to escape with
their live. Here, however, we see
extremes meet. Hawaii must, indeed,
be the paradise for deposed queens
when they can live in such luxury,
such regal state, such undoubteo secu-
rity. and at the same time almost, III
not quite, set up rival government,
and, what is most stra ge, set IL " at
the cost of the deposerS. we might
rausack the annals of the worlds his
tory in vain to find parallel case !;
ami this spectacle leads one to believe
our leaders are mere tyros, noVlceS
indeed in revolutionary tactics.
If this state of things be long con-
tinued, the world will regard our
boosted revolution as a farce-a thing
got up as a diversion for killing the
monotony of our precarious and 1so-
lated existence. In times of revolu-
ton Do half measures can avail. His
tory tells that Hampden, having
drawn the sword, threw away the
scabbard, and never stopped until vic
tory was achieved. Moderation in
war has been termed weakness and
timidity, which has been proved the
world over; therefore there should be
no relenting, no faltering, no hating
or turning. What has been COM
menced must, at any cost, be brought
to a successful finish.
Most people think it is about time
something decisive was done. We
have seen revolutions started with
great vIgor, but end in accomplishing
nothing. The grievances that Were
to be redressed have been aggravated,
and, instead OF great reforms, good
government anil prosperity, we have
received misrule, abuse of power and
ruin.
This present state of things must
come to a. end, and we hope it may
be done peaceably, for have n great
regard for the natives, and will at all
times seek and maintain their rights
and liberties as stoutly as our own
but they must be reminded there will
be no more footing, neither will eX

Committee of Representative
Hagaiians Chat With the
Commissioner.
On last Friday morning a COM
mittee of native residents, consist
ing of J. Kauhane, chairman, A.
Kauhi, J. H. Waipulani and ]. K.
Iosepa, accompanied by Mr.. Luther
Wilcox, as interpreter, called on
Commissioner Blount by appoint
ment at 9 o'clock.
The gentlemen were handsomely
received, and Mr.. Kauhane acted
as spokesman, introducing his
country to the United States
Commissioner.
In reply TO questions asked, Mr..
Kauhane stated they were in favor
of annexation to the United States
because they considered it was
only thereby possible to secure
stability of the future government.
The dethronement of the queen
they considered her own act, which
was openly done in violation of the
constitution. \ large minority of the
native people of the islands were
in favor of annexation. They be-
lieved that Hawaii stood in the
relation of a child to the United
5 ates, which had always given her
fostering care in her weakness.
In reply to a direct question,
they stated the Hawaiians would
expect the United States to grant
them the elective franchise with
other people in case annexation
took place, as they sincerely hoped
it would.
Mr.. Kauhane was vice-president
of the last Legislature under the
monarchy, and has served fifteen
or more years continuously in the
Hawaiian legislature. The other
three members of the committee
have also been prominent members
of various legislatures.
