Yesterday, i" a .short note, t mentioned that a large landholder had expressed his willingness to open some pretty extensive tracts to settlement upon the most favorable terms. The current Planters' Monthly has :i letter from Mr. I. 'Rycroft, of Puna, Hawaii, telling of lands upon that Island that could be thrown open for settlement in small holdings, with great advantage to all concerned. Commenting upon the. letter, the editor of that valuable periodical give the following timely counsel: "So far so good. What is wanted is definite information as to where land can be obtained ; but to be of practical benefit, further information is necessary as to terms of sale, the price, amount of casli down required, or length of time for which a mort gage will be taken, and rate of in terest. If Mr. Rycioft will make a definite statement of what he is pre pared to do, and Ills proposition is any ways reasonable, there is no doubt that lie will be able to make speedy arrangements advantageous both to himself and to settlers. "In this connection we would urge upon the attention of large landholders the advantage to be de rived from cutting upland into small parcels. An example in point is the land of Kapahulu, situated at Wai kiki and back of Diamond Head, which was lately sold by the Luna lilo estate. The trustees would have been glad to get ? 10,000 as a whole, but finally divided it into lots and sold them at auction, the sale realiz ing some 22,000. Another instance of a like nature is the recent division of a large lot on the slope of Punch bowl iu Honolulu. It found no purchasers at $7,500, but divided up and soul in lots, terms Doing one-fourth cash and the balance in one, two and three years, it brought over 810,000 without any diillculty. "If, then, some of our landholders will but view this matter from a financial point of view, they will find that it will pay to divide up and lease or sell iuany of their now waste lands, which arc bringing in but a meagre income. There arc immense tracts of land lying in the district of Kwa and Waianac on this Island, now used as cattle ranches or for nothing at all, which could support a dense population; and philanthropy and public spirit aside, it would bo money in pocket for those who own. or control them and similar lands, lo open them for set tlement." An argument such as that con tained in the foregoing statements ought not to be lost upon land owners. Those who do not wish to unload themselves of their entire estates would, undoubtedly, by dis posing of a portion in small hold ings to settlers, increase the market value of the remaindor. The suc cess attending the examples above given will probably lead other land owners to go and do likewise. As the Planters' Monthly advises, those who have lands to dispose of should take means to make the fact, with'full particulars, known. It is gratifying to find that the Minister of the Interior is having the Govern iiiinmiiiii ment lands sot In ordei, in the Sur vey Department, foi. apportionment to Bctllers under the Homestead Act of last session. A consideration that must not be omitted, in deal ing with this matter, is tin question of obtaining good classes of settlers for the land to be thrown open. It is not to be presumed that thurc are now in the country people enough, of the kind desired, to take up all the lands available for settlement. It would be well if a register could bo opened in the Interior Depart ment, for recording all lands Hint private holders are willing to dispose of. Then, after nn estimate had been made of the amount of land required for present inhabitants willing lo settle, an idea could bo formed of the extent to which it would be advisable lo invite agri cultural immigrants from abroad. Without any race prejudice, we believe that it would be undesh-able to -have all now settlers from the ranks of contract laborers the Oriental and the Latin races. The genius of this country's progress is Anglo-Saxon, and it is not too much to say that to preserve the nation from becoming a Balicl, and possi bly a Bedlam, Anglo-Saxon speech and ideas must predominate in its future life. Therefore, if wc have land for outsiders, this point should be kept in .view. There are thou sands of people in the British Is lands face lo face with starvation, from the unequal struggle for sub sistence with a rigorous climate and poor and scanty soil. An offer of homesteads in this country and cli mate, upon the easy conditions that could be afforded, if properly made to those people through the Ha waiian consuls in .the United King dom, might very soon bring a ship load of then: lo our shores. They would not be long in adapting them selves to the different conditions of agriculture to what they were ac customed to. and His Majesty could not desire a belter class of subjects, or a more loyal when they had changed their allegiance. EDITORIAL NOTES. This issue of the Daily 15ui.lt.iix is valuable for reference, and should be preserved. Besides the census tables, Mr. Whitney's instructive ar ticle. " Population and Labor," is well worth keeping. It is reported that the Chinese companies are going to send about two thousand of their people away to Mexico. The primary object is to keep up the price of labor, and the motive is partially one of jeal ousy toward the Japanese. This movement will make it more than ever incumbent upon planters to leave nothing reasonable undone to make the Japanese satisfied with their lot in this country. If Japan can supply the labor, market, there will probably be few to regret the departure of the Chinese in much greater number than that now an nounced. It must be regarded as fortunate that the Planters' Conven tion was not gratified in its desire for more Chinese. (1'iom tho PlunteiV Monthly.) POPULATION AND LABOR. The enumeration of the nopula- lion of this Kingdom, which has re cently been taken, furnishes food for thought to all who-arc interested in the prosperity of our country, but especially to those engaged in cane and rice culture, in which in dustries alone not less than 20,000 persons are constantly employed. Although some of the statistics given in the census tables are evi dently defective especially those which state the number who can read and write as only il!),01G of tho total 80,578 I consider tho tables on tho whole quite as reliable ns those of any previous census. The totals correspond very closely to the esti mates made by myself and others ; and those who have had charge of the work deserve credit for the man ner in which it has been done. The male population is put down at 51,53!), of which 11,700 arc under fifteen years of age, leaving DO, 83!) as available, iu one way or another, for industiial pursuits. The columns under the head of "occupations," in the census returns, show a total of U'J,fi-ll employed as mechanics, agri culturists, contract laborers, and in other occupations. This includes eomo females, but how many we linvc no menus of ascertaining. Tliu fact, however, remains demonstrated that about one-half of our popula tion is permanently employed in various kinds of maiiunl labor, and consequently industriously occupied, which is more than can be said of tho male population of some other countries. This is ntlribulnule in n groat measure to the leeiprocity treaty with America, which has given an impetus, not only to sugar and rice, but lo every other industry. Another encouraging feature brought out by the census is the iiicicaso in the number of fcmnlcs, ns compared with the returns for 1878. Those gave a total of 23,882 females, with 1G,2GG children under 15 years. The new census reports 29,00!) females, with 22,51!) children. It also shows that there arc 10,240 females of wholly or part foreign extract, among whom arc -1 , 1!J8 Portuguese and 2,0!)!) half-caste females, who as a rulo arc more prolific, and bear more and healthier children than Hawaiian women. Taking these facts into considera tion, it is not improbable that the next census (1890) will show a very large increase in life number of children under 15 years. The half caste population lias already become an impoitant and valuable element in our'laboi calculations, as it sup plies some of our most reliable me chanics, teamsters, overseers and farmers. The labor question is therefore rapidly assuming a changed aspect for the better, and if the Japanese immigration, now happily inaugu rated after ten years' efforts to se cure it, can be continued for a year or two, to counteract and cheek the excessive influx' of male Chinese, the prospect bids fair that the de mand for imported labor will soon decrease from year to year, till eventually wc shall be fully supplied from our own population with labor ers of a more desirable class, because of domestic growth and habits, speaking the same language, and "to the manor born." The following table, which has been carefully compiled, shows the changes which have taken place in the population of this Kingdom during the past 155 years, and will prove valuable for preservation and reference. Prior to 1S72 no statis tics were taken to show the national ities of the foreign residents, and in the enumerations of 1850 and 18G0 none were taken showing the half caste and Chinese separately. The data given for those years, showing the number of half-caste and Chinese, arc estimates, but are be lieved to be as correct as it is possi ble now to give tliem. They have been inserted to make the summary more complete. I 2 n "5 - ". - S? 2.bi?2H.3.? ?? CM .:"r.-B.- H ..I-. c ; c .' ' : c UJ : 1 c i i ; -" r ! ,' ! s ! . !
