Almost a Centenarian.

Mother" Guliek was 80 years of
age yesterday The old lady enjoy s
excellent health and is busy at her
sewing machine every day. Mrs.
Gulick is one OF the last of the body
of people who made Hawaii their
home in days which are now remem-
bered in ancient history only.
Unlike some of the others she h As
remained true friend of the Ha-
waiians, and has at all times refused
to take part in the robbing of the
children OF the soil.
Her only child, Major Chas. T.
Gulick died short while ago. He
inherited from his noble mother the
spirit OF independence and faith in
justice which eventually made him
a victim OF the INSCRIPTIONS adven-
turers, whose motives he could not
sanction, and whose selfish policy be
would not adopt.
May her last days be happy, is the
wish Of the people to Mother
Gulick who has always proven her-
sell true friend to those in distress
and to Hawaii-nei.

LAND POLICY.

The extent OF the undeveloped re-

beginning to be understood The
growth of the coffee industry has
emphasized this aud given rise to a
demand for land in small parcels,
upon many OF which houses are be-
ing erected and occupied by a very
desirable GLASS OF people. The pres
ent land policy OF tho Government
has an important bearing upon this
subject aud should be continued,
but upon more extensive scale.
The sub division of public lands
suitable for settlement should be
carried on with all possible expedi-
ton. For this reason the Land
Commissioners should be granted in
creased facilities for carrying on the
work A step in this direction would
be TO place the surveying OF all lands
to be opened 10y the Commission,
under the Bureau OF Survey. This
would relieve the Commission from
many perplexing questions, and give
the Land Agent opportunity to at
tend to other details, thereby en-
abling him to push forward the in
teIests OF intending settlers with
the necessary promptness.

it is recommended that a law be
enacted which will enlarge the scope
Of the present Reform School by
giving authority to the Depart
ment of Public Instruction to COM
NIT such boys and girls as it may
consider require discipline and pro-
lection, to an industrial school.
Instruction in the ordinary
branches may we'll be coupled with
agricultural and manual training in
institutions Of this kind, and if suit
able locations are secured for these
schools they may become partially
self-supporting.
The criminal classes or those
usually committed to the Reform
School, may be included in the
scope OF institutions Of this kind,
but they should be kept in separate
wards go as not to exert an improper
influence over those who have not
become addicted to vicious habits.
The desired end OF institutions Of
this kind would be to give the in
mates rudimentary education as

APPEALS FROM DIS rRIcT MAGISTRATES.
The present judiciary law allows
appeals from all decisions Of Dis
trict Magistrates in all matters, to
the Circuit Courts. This has the
effect OF hindering the work Of the
Circuit Courts at their regular
terms. The calendar is repeatedly
encountered by cases on appeal from
the District Courts of so trivial a
nature that the really important
cases are often crowded over from
one term Of Court to another, to the
detriment of litigants and unjustif-
able expense to the Government.
Appeals from District Magistrates
to the Circuit Courts should be
restricted to cases of Importance,
The right OF appeal to the Supreme
Court on questions of law may we'll
be continued, but with a provision
that whore the appeals shall be
found to be frivolous, the Supreme
Court may in its discretion impose
exemplary costs. The right Of ap.
peal in criminal cases might be
governed by the amount Of fine OIL
imprisonment imposed by the Dis
trict Magistrate, and in civil actions
for debt or assumpsit, by the amount
involved in the case.
