Fall Flowing a Mistake.

Mr.. II. b. Terry of Ohio, one of the
most successful farmers in America,
who makes speciality of potatoes and
keeps up the fertility of his land oy
q rotation of wheat and clover, writes
that he is opposed to summer and fall
blowing on light soils because of the
tendency to trenching, but admits
that in he extreme north and on very
stiff soils fall blowing may be beneti-
cial. If Mr.. Terry had any exper-
fence with our black waxy prairie soil
he would doubtless add the extreme
south to the north as field for fall
blowing. At least, every observing
black land farmer in Texas knows the
advantage vt fall blowing, and prac.
tices it whenever practicable. The
present appearances in our fields
give little indication of this
habit, for miles can be
travelled through some of our best
farming districts without seeing an
upturned furrow. This is poor aug
ury for coming crops, and will seri-
ously effect the outcome unless excep-
tionally favorable conditions prevail
during the growing season.

only attempt to farm sixty-siX acres
of land and therefore should have had

ing, but frequent and heavy rains
have hindered me in spite of every
desire and effort, from having more
than five acres turned over, and corn
land will not be in the condition for
planting, essential to the best results.
This early blowing is good for our
stiff black lands, but on thin sandy
soil, think it best to delay blowing
till as near planting time as will
allow the sol to be got into proper
degree o, tineuess.
The more the land is covered with
vegetation, be it only grass or weeds,
the more fertility will it store and re-
tain, if that vegetation is plowed in
just before planting. Some practice
blowing, but l am opposed

DAYBREAK FOR FREE HAWAII

The importance of the Hawaiian
statement made at President Dole's
reception yesterday by Land Commits
missioner Chambers, the new Sa-
moan appointee, is very great. Mr..
Chambers is a relative by marriage Of
ex.United States Minister Blount. He
is also close, in business way, to the
Secretary Of the Navy, and has had
the run of the Federal departments for
some months past. Hence the sources
of his information about the attitude of
the American Government towards the
reform cause in these Islands could
hardly be improved upon without hav-
ing the President himself as personal
conhdant Clearly the utmost weight
attaches to Mr.. Chambers statement
that the restoration of the native dy-
nasty is not purpose of the United
States, and that the only question which
the Provisional Government may be
recommended to bring to voting test
is annexation, pure and simple, with
people of an income of $1,000 or more
to do the ballotng.
1t will not escape notice here that
Mr.. Chambers statement accords with
much that has come of late from both
friendly and unfriendly sources. The
Perkins proposal is recent in the public
mind. The other day the STAR
printed the results of Professor Alex
anders canvass OF Senators, Congress
men and department chiefs in which
the common verdict was that restora-
ton is ''unthinkable. Later we pub
lished and repeat to-day-the re-
markabe confession of the New York
Herald under the same head. The
Democratic and once unfriendly Brook
Ign Eagle, edited by man whose
nearness to Cleveland is proverbial in
New York, has also given signs OF
repentance in the currency 1t has be-
gun to give to Annexationist interviews.
OF course this means very much; and
that the people of the United States
have put the proper Interpretation upon
such events is fairly shown by the
recent action of grave commercial
bodies like the Rochester Board of
Trade and by the enthusiasm created
among the crowds al the Worlds Fair
by the clang of welcome which the
liberty bell gave to the coming Terri.
tory of Hawaii,
Quietly, safely and surely the Ha-
waiian bark is nearing a calm
haven under the protecting headands

SOURCE OF ROYALIST NEWS

We note the jubilant publication, in
the Bulletin and HOlomna, of an un-
official, unconhrmed, unauthorized and
altogether silly press dispatch, which
we reprint as follows:
The navy of the United States has never
yet been used to place kings or queens on their
thrones, yet, unless the administration Demo
Gratis are ill-advised, it is the purpose of Pres
ident Cleveland that the marines of the United
States shall be ordered in certain contingencies
to place Queen Liliuokalani upon the throne
of the Hawaiian Islands, Paramount
Blount" Of Georgia is said to have made the
recommendation that the question Of restora
ton shall be submitted to the suffrages of the
kanakas, coolies and all the rest, and those
who are familiar with Hawaiian matters say
that means a restoration of the monarchy.
By those who have noticed that this
STRAW" comes from the office of the
United Press, and who are familiar with
the extremties to which that feeble
concern has been driven by the refusal
of the Associated Press to continue
selling it news, the disclosures" about
Mr.. CIeveland's Hawaiian policy will
be read with a smile and commented
on with jest. 1t is now two months
since the relations of the great news
association with the small one we're
sundered and in that time the United
Press has been repeatedly caught in
sensational inventions BY no other
method, with its limited correspondence
and wire facilities, has it been able to
make show of journalistic enterprise.
Indeed in their desperation the man
ayers of the United Press have gone
to unprecedented lengths, as is proved
by the exposure in the last coast files
OF faxed cholera dispatch and bogus
London telegram in regard to the
yacht races. Under such circumstances
it is natural to find such printed
sequence as this:

1t was finally determined by the
English government to restore Cete-
wayo to his throne. Shortly after his
restoration a chief named Zibebu led
an instruction against him, attacked
him and wounded him in the night
time and killed many of his followers.
Cetewayo's people, the Usutus, formed
an alliance with the Beers and de-
feated Zibebu. Cetewayo died soon
afterwards from the effects of his
wounds.
After much disturbance Zululand
was made British colony. Zibebu
then invaded the portion Of the coun
try reserved to the Usutus. The latter,
feeling that they had been unfairly
treated by their alleged British pro
tectors, rose and we're suppressed. I'm
dabuko and his ward and nephew
were exiled to ST. Helena for ten years
for taking part in an armed rebellion.
Both are stout, weIl-grown men, and
show high birth and breeding in their
manners. European civilization has
begun to affect them. Already they
have given up the native costume of
feathers round the waist for one of
trousers, coat and tall hat.
The climate of St Helena obliges
them to wear a blanket or some heavy
covering much of the time. The
change from the fierce, dry climate of
South Africa to one where the air is
always full of moisture and the tenn
perature ranges from fifty seven to
seventy five degrees has been very dis
agreeable for the Zulu princes. 1t is
doubtful whether they will ever leave
their island prison alive. If they die
their fate will be still more similar to
that of Napoleon. They are very
clearly in their habits, but live by
preference in the smallest and dingiest
rooms cf the house allowed them.

go, Vessels arriving from an Asiatic port,
or from any port reported to be infected with

NAPOLEON'S SUCCESSORS.
The Two Zulu Princes Now in Exile a,
st. Helena.

Napoleon Bonaparte, the Frenchman
whose interesting career was brought to
an end by the English at the battle of
Waterloo, has two royal successors on
the island of St. Helena, where he was
exiled and died.
They are Dinizul, the son and heir
of Cetewayo, the Zulu king, and linda
buko, brother of tie same monarch.
Both are victims of British arrogance
and disregard of the interests of other
nations, and their treatment has been
decidedly more unjust and overbearing
than that of the distinguished Cursican,
says the New York World.
The Zulus are the finest race in
Africa, which is not very high praise to
bestow on a nation. Rider Haggard
has made US familiar with their moral
and combatve qualities in his more or
less reliable works. Under insidiOus
British influence, however, they began
some years ago to give up their fight
ing habits and grew agricultural They
were encouraged to cross the boundary
into the British colonies of Natal and
work for. the British and to resist the
encroachments Of the Beers of the
Transvaal. In 1877, when war broke
out between the Beers and the Zulus,
the British profted by the occasion to
annex the Transvaal A war with the
Zulus followed. The English were de-
feated at first, but Sir Garnet Wolseley
crushed the Zulus at Ulundi. The
English then recognized the Govern
ment of Zululand in such way that
there was incessant internal disturb
ance. Cetewayo visited London, where
he was received everywhere in society,
his frank and genial manners and his
interesting ways at table making him a
universal fayorite,

THERE being plan on foot in
Tacoma to organize a steam line to
Honolulu, the astute Mr.. Spreck-
els turns up there with a
fattering proposal to control it. The
STAR must warn its Tacoma friends not
to listen to the aged tempter. If Claus
Spreckels gets the Tacoma liners into
his monopolistic clutch they will be run
in such a way as to keep the Island
trade for San Francisco and the Oceanic
vessels. The Spreckels family have
no interests in Tacoma to build up at
the expense Of the city where they do
business and of the steamer line which
they support That should always be
borne in mind at the northern seaport,
where the proper and natural ally of
steamship enterprise in this direction is
one of the railroads competing with the
Canadian Pacific, rather than a Califor-
MIA monopolist who has steamships of
his own in trade.
