CROWN LANDS.

The question of the title of the
Crown Lands will undoubtedly be
considered in connection with Ha-
wall entering the American Union.
The original ownership of these
lands was in the Kamehamehas.
The third of that line made over
to the government and people a
long list of lands which have since
been sold or awarded and patented
to private claimants. In making
this transfer, which was in 1S4S,
the King declared that he kept the
rest of his lands as his "private
lands" "to have and to hold to
himself, his heirs and successors
forever" 1t is these lands which
have since been treated as the
Crown Lands or Royal Domain.
The line of successors" having
failed, is the title now in the
heirs" or is it public Government
land? We believe the latter view
to be the only sound one.

Funeral of Miss Stevens.

The funeral of Miss Grace
Stevens, eldest daughter of Hon.
]. L. Stevens, U. S. Minister Pleni-
potentiary, was attended at 4 P. M.
yesterday at her parents residence
in Nuuanu avenue. There was a
large gathering of ladies among
whom Miss Stevens social gifts
and graces had won for her large
share of affection and respect.
The diplomatic corps, and Off
Gals of the Provisional Govern
ment were in attendance, as also
the officers of the U. S. S. Boston.
The white casket was enveloped in
a profusion of white roses, with
here and there a spray of green,
and around the rooms was such a
wealth of floral tributes as even
Honolulu gardens seldom can be-
stow. The services were very sim
pie. The choir of the Central
Union Church sang the hymns
"Abide with me-" and "Safely
gathered" Rev. DIR. Beckwith,
the pastor, read 1 Cor. XIV, and
offered brief prayer. The fun
eral cortege was long one, and
the rain, which had come down so
heavily in the morning for the
time being ceased, as the assem-
blage followed in long lines of car
riages up to the Nuuanu ceme-
terry. Many were the heartfelt ex-
pressions of sympathy for the be-
reaved family, and in fact the
whole community is touched with
| a fellow-feeling of sorrow at the
sudden death of one who had so
graciously sustained the social
amenities of her position in the
American Minister'S household.

THE PULPIT AND POLITICS.

There is an idea widely current
that ministers of the gospel should
abstain from comment on political
questions, and indeed on all ques-
tons which actively occupy and
divide community, and confne
their attention solely to abstract
moral principles, and precepts
which do not admit of an imme-
date application. Is this idea a
sound one ?
We believe it to be not only
unsound but dangerous, and if
ministers were to follow it, they
would lose both the influence
and the esteem which they now
possess. Preaching which does not
touch conduct, which does not bear
upon the actual issues of the day,
which does not affect mems esti-
mate of the duties Immediately to
be discharged, can do little good,
and the less of it that is heard the
better.
1t is not contended that it is
proper to discuss all kinds OF
questions from the pulpit. There
are political issues which are in
their nature purely secular. They
are questions of administrative
detail, of military organization, OF
diplomacy, of general expediency,
Then there are questions which
are purely personal, as of the merits
Of a candidate, or the trustworthi.
ness of party. Such questions are
not, of course, proper subjects fol
discussion at a gathering for reli,
gious purposes, any more than mat
tiers would be which might happen
to divide the world of literature OF
art.

DEATH TO MOSQUITOES.

The latest mosquito remedy bears
the impress of a scientific mind,
while being eminently practical. The
inhabitant of summer cottage, find
ing the insects very troublesome,
traced them to their breeding place,
rain-water pool in the neighbor-
hood, with surface of sixty square
feet. Finding that eggs were de-
posted, he sprinkled four ounces of
kerosene over the surface of the pool.
At the end of ten days it was covered
with dead insects, of which 7400 were
counted. Most of these were gnats,
but there were 371 female mosquitoes
and many males.
AS the average number of eggs
laid by the female mosquito is 300,
the destruction of these 81 speci-
mems prevented the development of
Ill, 300 individuals of the next gen.
Grafton. Moreover, certain females
fled away after touching the surface
of the water and undoubtedly died
at some distance from the pool. The
experiment proved 80 successful that
it is likely to be repeated in districts
where mosquitoes abound The
remedy has the double advantage of
being simple and cheap.
The propagation of insects could
be arrested over 5000 square feet of
water surface by using barrel of
kerosene, and the cheaper oil is much
preferable to the expensive for the
purpose. It is suggested that if the
application be made early in June, SO
as to head off the first generation,
the numbers of this biting pest may
be reduced to MISUNDERSTANDING
Dispatch.

Until the last three centuries,
the church was the principal in
strument not merely Of moral pro-
gress but Of civilization in the
world. The situation has changed,
and the church now divides the
field with the State, the uni
versity, the press, with purely
secular philanthropy, and with
other agencies of reform. If this
process is to be continued, and
ministers of the gospel consent to
sit with folded hands while the
moral problems which confront the
world are grappled with and solved
by others, the Church, like Othello,
will find its occupation gone.
1t is a fortunate thing for the
Church that she has men who take
this large view of her functions,
who are not Indifferent to the cause
of civil liberty, to the publication
of politics, to everything which
serves to uplift the morals and to
conserve and advance the highest
interests of the Individual and of
the State. Such men are sure to
be abused and misrepresented and
hated but they are in the highest
degree useful, and the fact that
they are everywhere to be found is
one of the most hopeful signs of
the times.

Z The degree in which a clergy
man is justified in discussing poll
tics in the pulpit may be deter
mined by considering the purpose
and function of the Church. This
function, regarded from worldly
point of view, is to promote
morality and encourage the prac-
tice of virtue. Whenever, there
fore, questions of politics are also
questions of morals, it is not mere
ly the right, it is the duty, of
every conscientious minister to
discuss them moderately and
calmly, but firmly and fearlessly,
from the pulpit.
The minister who does this will
make enemies. Those who rise up
against him, too, will be not out
siders merely but of his own spiri-
tual household. If he steps on
the toes of any of his congregation
he must expect them to be sore.
Sinners do not like to be told of
their faults and Christians are not
perhaps, as different from the rest
of tie world in this regard as one
might wish. There is no doubt al
all that it is easier and safer for the
head of a fashionable church tc
dwell upon the sins of the poor
than to tell how hard it is for &
rich man to enter the Kingdom O
Heaven. No doubt in times of in
tense political activity, when righ
and wrong are struggling for The
mastery, it is easier and safer fol
a minister comfortably to over
haul and prove afresh a few anci
ent dogmas, than to step boldl,
into the breach and denounct
corruption and wrong doing ant
