He Inspects.

Colonel James Boyd was inter
viewed this afternoon in regard to
the new homesteads on Maui. The
colonel spoke very conservatively on
the subject, and we were only able
to gain from him that the homes
teads at Kula are success.
The roads and grading, says Mr..
Boyd, have been disgrace and
drawback to the small farmer. If
everything was in the condition
that it ought to be, the small far
mer would be all right, and The IN
DEPENDENT ought to go out of ex-
istence.
The inspection of Mr.. Boyd shows
however that the small farmers are
lot OF fools. Mr.. Boyd who is thor
oughly imbibed with the idea that
the ruling powers "boss" everything
is not willing to express himself too
freely-we hope that he will be sent
to Olaa and especially to Puukapu,
and we wonder if he will have the
"brass" to "see us" on his return.

ton: The arguments you advance
to support our claims have the
entire approval and concurrence of
the Government. The attempt
made by Senator John T. Morgan
Of Alabama, chairman OF the Senate

to dispute them seems largely
founded on misapprehension, and
the Government cannot doubt,
when the facts are placed before the
public of the United States, the Ii

compensation, which has never been
denied by the Government, will
generally be recognized, both in

Timely Topics.
Honolulu, Oct. S5, 1895.

q m0St serious manner curing
the late epidemic of what vital
Importance pure water is to all
human beings. While our me-
dical men have differed in OPT
Mon in regard to the nature
and treatment of the epidemic
which now fortunately is ended,
there has only been one opinion
in regard to the imperative
necessity of having an am
pie supply of pure water
for all purposes. In Homo
lulu the water supply is now
plentiful both for drinking pur-
poses and for irrigation. The
same cannot be said for the
country districts. In many
places it is necessary for the in
habitants to carefully save rain
water in tanks especially where
artesian wells are impossible.
1t has been great help to
people living in the country
that we have introduced the
celebrated Aermotor in these
islands. Many people have
availed themselves of the golden
opportunity to purchase one Of
our galvanized Aermotors, and
they have in all instances ex-
pressed themselves as highly
satisfied with the bargain.
The Aermotor is especially
appreciated because it runs in
the lightest wind. Being geared
back three to one, it starts with
only third of the load that the
ordinary mill has to contend
with. This enables it to start
and run in a zephyr SO light
that all competitors stand idly
by. Again, its lightweight and
perfect bearing enable it to face
up to and get the full benefit Of
the breeze. The wheel is so
light and its efficiency so great
that it is an absolute calm in
deed which induces it to stand
still.
The lightweight of the Aer-
motor is strong point in its
favor. The weight affects the
cost of transportation; the ease
of handling and erection; the
facility of turning on the tower
to face the wind for work; the
regulation for safety in a high
wind; the recovery Of working
position when danger is past;
the sagging Of the tower out of
shape; the vibration and break
ing of the tower in storm
and consequently the weight.
strength and cost of tower and
foundations. The Aermotor
only weighs about two-ffths as
much as the other mills which
do the same work. The great
disparity in weight is in part
made possible by the use of
steel, malleable iron, and the
very best materials throughout,
and explains why so excellent a
piece of work can be turned out
at SO low price.
We invite farmers and others
who have use for an Aermotor

The whole thing in a nutshell is
this. The planters, labor commits
sions, special legislative committees,
and other ornamental institutions
know nothing about the doings and
whereabouts of the $4,000 Asiatics
who are not under the thumbs of
the planters. There is only one way
of finding out, and that is, as Mr..
Swanzy correctly suggests, to adopt
general registration act. The
figures presented by the labor COM
mittee of the Planters Association
speak more forcibly in favor of the
general registration than all the
arguments heretofore advanced.
