There was a small blaze last night
about 9 o'clock at the northeast corner
of Main and Copper streets in a frame
building owned by the Washoe Copper
company and occupied by David Cor
don's notion store and Miss Miller, an
old lady, who conducted a small candy
store and resided in the north side OF
the building. The fire started in the
candy store. which was locked up. and
when the door was pushed in the flames
burst out and set fire to the awning
of the notion store, which made quite
a blaze. The fire was soon checked.
but not until Miss Miller's store was
completely Quilted and Gordon's stock
slightly injured by water and smoke.
The loss is trivial and fully covered by
insurance. Miss Miller locked up and
left early in the evening. and II is not
known how the fire started.

w. Y. HORNER.

The death of Senator W. Y. Homer
removes "A figure from the Senate,
which has grown familiar to most
Honoluluites. In Lahaina the deceas-
ed Senator will be missed. for he has
for many years been one of its fore
most men. Mr.. Horner was for many
years connected with the sugar indus
try. He came here in the early eigh-
ties, and, with his brother, raised cane
for the Spreckelsville plantation. La
ter this plan was given up and W. Y.
Horner became manager of the Lahai-
ma plantation, while j. NJ Horner

dustry at Kukaiau. Hamakua. Ha-

The late Senator was an upright, en-
ergetic, forceful man. He always took
a keen interest in the management of
public affairs. and before his election
as Senator, was at one time Repre-

servative in his views, and carefully
thought out all questions that came
up. The Senate has lost valuable

A PUBLIC BEACH.

The bill introduced by Senator Nc
Candless yesterday in reference to the
Kapolani Park beach is one which
must commend itself to the general
public. In country where sea bath
ing is one of the greatest of Injuries,
and where it can be enjoyed all the
year round, there is not strip Of
beach, within easy reach of the city,
which is accessible to the general pub
lie. To reach the sea shore, except at
one place, you have to go through pri-
vate property.
OF course this condition of affairs
came about through carelessness and
want of thought or foresight. So some
of the older streets are narrow, be-
cause, when first laid out, no one fore
saw the development of the city. But
if mistakes have been made in the
past, there is no reason that they
should not be remedied in the present
The remedy Senator McCandless
proposes will take some time to come
to fruition. The lots along the beach
at Kapiolani Park are held on long
leases, and of course the tenants can
not be disturbed until these leases run
out, but the bill will have the effect
TO preventing the tenants acquiring
the fee simple of the property, and
upon the expiration of the leases the
land will revert to the Park Commas
sioners and be thrown open to the
public.
There are few countries in the world
where the beach is not free to the pub
lie. From the Cliff House, away to
to the south there is fine stretch of
beach open to the public, along which
children of the poorest can dig their
sand forts, and paddle in the waves
as they come in. There is no neces.
sity to name the numberless beaches
which are free to the public in every
part of the world, and there is no con
troverting the fact that there should
be like facility here.

THE LANDS.
zen.

From the report of the Commission
er of public lands it is interesting TO
see how the lands have been taken up.
The bosh that is talked about the Ha-
waiian being robbed of his lands is
very clearly Tefuted.
During the biennial period 2O,234 ac-
res of land have been taken up, aggre-
eating in value $11s.S53. This is eX-
elusive of Olaa leases, which are under
different arrangements The bulk of
this land, viz: 1851 acres has been
taken up under the right of purchase
lease system. The land has been ia
ken up by 422 individuals, and of these
129 are native Hawaiians. These 1879
Hawaiians are in the way of acquir-
ing land and homes. Under the mon
archy there was no such opportunity.
1t is the Republic that has thrown
these lands open to the small investor
to take up. As old leases fall in there
will be still further opportunities Of
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1898-03-02

fered which, will be to the advantage
of the same class of citizens.
Looking over the list of individual
holdings the Hawaiians stand first in
number, with 120 as stated above, the
Portuguese come next with 106, the
Americans have 10, Hawaiian born
foreigners, special nationality not
stated, so, British 20, and the remain
der scattering, along half dozen ma
tionalities. On the other hand, If we
look at the amounts of land taken up
we find the native Hawaiians and the
Hawaiian born foreigners, that is to
say the children of the soil, first with
6,993 acres: the Americans second
with $500 acres, and the Portuguese
third with 4,144 acres. The British
have taken up 1856, and the other ma
tionalities have taken up comparative
ly small amounts.
AS has been said, the Right of Pur-
chase Lease is the favorite form of
obtaining land. The land law allows
of taking up land under the Home
stead Lease system, that is a 900 year
lease. inalenable. The object of this
was TO provide homestead lots for Ha-
waiians, which could not be mortgage
ed or be attached for debt The sys-
TEN has not met with the favor that
was expected, only sixty-seven having
taken up on this plan, with an area of
934 acres.
1t will be interesting during the
next two years to watch the progress
of the working of this system. AS the
Land Commissioners point out it is
too early to notice practical results In
this direction. 1t, is an experiment in
agrarian law which from the point of
view of The Star is of doubtful advant-
age. Times change, and people also
change, and it is quite a question
whether it is for the benefit of the
holder of land, to tie him and his heirs
up with piece of property which can
not be alienated under any circum.
stances for period of nearly thous.
and years. The holders, in five or ten
years, will be coming to the Legisla
ture and asking that the law shall
be changed
The report of the Land Commission
ers is clear and to the point, and viii
will repay careful perusal. Only sin
gle point has been discussed here.

SET ON FIRE BY THE WAVES

On the western coast of Ireland, at
Ballybunion, the sea set fire to the
cliffs. For centuries the great Allan
tic rollers have been breaking them
down and making great assures in
them. In their depths were masses of
iron pyrites and alum. At last the
water penetrated to these, and a rapid
oxidation took place, which produced
heat fierce enough to set the whole
cliff on fire. For weeks the rocks had
burned like regular volcano, and big
clouds of smoke and vapor rose high
in the air.
