SATURDAY, DECEMBER %. 1895.

The sound of war rings in the
air. May it not come to such a
pass. a war between two such
mighty powers as the United States
and England would be one for the
world TO mourn over, and would
set back the tide of history for
many decade of years. The lingo
press of both countries is rampant,
as usual, but the calm, far-seeing
men are for peace, and peace viii
probably be maintained. The Presi-
dent has certainly played a strong
card in his Venezuelan commission
which may yet result in the third
term" 1t was foreshadowed in the
message, and is now bearing fruit.
Both nations will make conces-
sions, and so avoid war, but the
result of a firm policy will have a
very strengthening effect upon the
Democratic party.

JUDGE HOLMAN has been criticiz-
ing the Administration for its treat
ment of the Hawaiian question.
The Judge says that if Mr.. Cleve-
land had recognized the Republic
of Hawaii at the start it would
have made the Democratic party so
popular that it would have won
the last two elections. There is no
doubt of the popularity of the an
question.

THE prosecution in the Henri
eta opium case have put their side
before the Court. 1t looks as if the
case Will be argued on technical
grounds. As was pointed out in
our columns the revenue laws are
obsolete and loop holes may be
found whereby an escape may be
made. The letter of Gale however
is evidently a great stumbling
block as is also the captains note
book. When the case is finished
it is quite probable that the opium
at the Coast will take
rest. The case has been taken
1nder advisement by Judge Perry.

H0MESTEADS AND SM
FARMERS.

In spite of the statements made
to the contrary the small farmer
goes about his business quietly,
makes a fair living and is looking
forward to the time when he will
be well ahead. Through the kind
ness of Col. Boyd we have the
statistics of the homesteads in the
Hilo district. At KaiWiki there
is a tract of thirty-eight lots, thirty
two OF which have been taken up.
Neat cottages have been put up in
all cases and the lots have been
properly fenced. The land is we'll
cultivated, coffee and fruit trees
have been planted and crops of
vegetables are being raised for the
immediate sustenance OF the home
steaders. At Kahuku, Hilo dis
trict, there are nine lots taken out
OF sixteen, where the occupants are
raising cane and selling it to the
Hakalau plantation. At Kaieie in
In the same district ten lots were
laid out, every one of which has
been taken. At Waipunalei in
North Hilo thirty-nine lots were
laid out and twenty-seven were
taken. All that is needed to make
these small estates double or treble
in value is to give them good roads.
1t is the road that makes the land
valuable. The next Legislature
must give the strictest attention to
this matter and should certainly
authorize loan for the purpose.
No better class OF people exist in a
community than small farmers.
They are thrifty and they under
stand the necessity of good govern
Inent, they have time to weigh
measures and learn to vote intelli-
gently upon them. But 1t is not only
under the homestead act that small
farmers are taking up land. The
Government lots, sold on the system
of time payments in Hilo and Puma,
have been in great demand, and,
in spite of the difficulties through
want of roads, have been improved,
fenced and planted. The people
on these lots are industrious and
thrifty, and deserve the highest
praise for their energy in overcom-
ing the difficulties presented to
them. The system of land sale on
time payment is decidedly popular '
and will most probably be extended
by the Government. he small
farmer is here amongst us, and he
sees his way clearly to making a
success. 1t is nonsense to say that ,
he does not exist. He does exist. and
give him good roads and he will be
satisfied. This is noephemeral effort
at small farming; it is business
venture by people of small means
who see both home in the future
and the possibility of moderate
but assured financial success.

The Heaviest Snow Experienced in the City
For Eight Years.
CHICAGO, Jan. 25.-Chicaco is nearer
being snowbound tonight than at any
time during the last eight years. The
storm began at 2 o'clock, and at first
promised to amount to little; but one
hour after it began to fall the snow
was coming down in sheets, which were
hurled through the streets by gale
which wa. blowing sixty.ive miles an
hour.
Between 2 and 10 o'clock eight and a
half inches OF snow on the level had
fallen and the streets were nearly i'm
pnssablc. The street car companies put
more men at work than had ever been
employed by them before, aud managed
TO keep cars moving fairly well. The
cable lines OH the North Side broke
down at 4 o'clock. and although the
trouble waa speedily rectitied. no at.
tempt was made to move cars with regu-
larity after that time.
