Col. Noyes rose to explain the differ.
ence between California lands, and
prairie lands. The lands in California
| were covered with natural growth OF
| wild oats, grass and wild mustard, while
on prairie lands The grass sod, can only
| be overturned by some sharp instrument
while the California soils except in arid
sections, are moistcr and do not need
such vigorous treatment. Col Noyes
also explained the difference in the
grasses of the Western States.
Comment on the essay having closed,
the President designated Messrs. Moore,
Dir. JOS. Coudon and Col. Noyes the
committee to examine premises &c.
Upon re assembling after dinner Mr..
Moore reported the excellent condition
OF Mr.. Gillespie's farm. He spoke
especially OF his sheep, and of his grow
ing wheat, which he thought was the
finest he had seen this season. The
other members of the committee fully
coucurred IN Mr.. Moore's report. This
members being called on Mr.. Carson said
ment on the farm since Mr.. Gillespie had
taken possession.
Questions being in order, Mr.. Carson
asked whether crimson clover could be
sown now on wheat, and crop of clover
be afterwards secured. No members
present having had any experience with
crimson clover, the question was not
answered.
Mr.. Mccullough asked when and what
quantity OF Hungarian grass he should
SOW?
The general opinion of the club was
from the 10Th of May to the 10Th OF
June, and the quantity from three pecks
to one bushel per acre.
DE-. Bromwell asked what the general
custom was, whether the incoming or
outgoing tenant was expected to SOW
the clover seed? The opinion of the
greatest number of members was, that
as the incoming tenant got the benefit of
the sowing, it was his duty to SOW it.
Mr.. Elwood Balderston submitted to
the club copy of Bill now pending be.
fore the Legislature of Pennsylvania

The club decided to take no action on

Col. Noyes notified the club, that he
would submit statement of his views
at the next meeting of the club, relative
to the question Of supply and demand as
effecting the prices of farm products.
Mr.. Cooling called attention to the
value of millet as food for cattle.

TOPICS OF THE DAY.

The Hawaiisa Commonwealth
That is according to the Star the
new title by Ehich Mr.. J. L.
Stevens administration is 10 be
known. The iittle clique which
at present Is allowed TO run the
government Is getting tired Of
being provisional and intends to
adopt ths title of common
wealth. an expression borrowed
from Massachusetts, the place
from whence all our Christian @
rulers hailed aud originated and
were exported on the usual ten
cents subscription. The Star
does not though give us the pro
gramme of the revolutionists in
full. The idea of Mr.. Hatch who
mt present furnishes the govern
ment with brains Is 10 effect
compromise with the opposition
the object of which will be
TO satisfy the royalists
without restoring the monarchy.
1t is believed that by offering
one or two cabinet positions to
men who have influence and
command considerable follow
ing among the leading royalists,
that permanent republican
form of government can be secur-
ed. and that compromise
administration can risk to meet
the people at the ballot box and
be sustained.

will not be to the benefit Of the
country
Hawaii holomua = Progress. [volume] (Honolulu) 1893-1895, 1893-10-09

We understand that the men
upon whom these willy politicians
have fixed their eyes are Messrs
Godfrey Brown and Neumann,
We do not for minute deny
that the selection is good and
that it proves the cleverness of
Mr.. Hatch. The two gentlemen
mentioned, have great influence
with, yes, to q certain extent con
troll of the royalists and if they
could be induced to join hands
with Mr.. Hatch the standing of
the present government would be
materially altered.
Hawaii holomua = Progress. [volume] (Honolulu) 1893-1895, 1893-10-09

Mr.. Hatch is undoubtedly a
long headed man, and he is more
over a fearless man, because the
step which it is proposed to take
will not be received with very
good grace among the rabid
ultra -annexationists. These mar
row-minded and bigoted
politicians who have receiv-
ed their political education
as ward-runners in San Fran,
cisco and other provincial
cities in the United States be
lieve that the present government
can go on forever without the
will of the nation being con-
suited. They believe that as
long as they have got the sand
bags around the palace and Soper
and Rodgers and the gatling guns
that they can continue in power,
draw their government salaries
and damn the people. Polite
ians of that stripe are often to be
found in the large cities of both
the old. and new world, and it is
task occasionally for the
leaders of Il party to administer
the proper massage and Joni
iomi their swelled heads into
their natural size and shape.
The Hawaiian Government pos
sesses in Mr.. Hatch and Mr..
Damon two long headed men,
who can look into the future and
who realize that according to
history and to all historical pre-
cedents, free people cannot be
deprived for ever of q voice in
the management of its govern
ment. nor eau people used to
exercise the rights and privileges
of the franchise be barred for
ever from enieying such rights.
They also realize that whatever
the future Of Hawaii may be. let
Us say territory or state or a
republic under the protectorate

Hatch scheme will fail. There

Never mind how many weary
