the Constitution, and the public have been
treated time and again TO rhetorical four
ishes BY these advanced students in polit-
ical lore upon reirogression. and an ignor-
ing of the political lights of the age, but
when the assessors returns have been made
under the law just Published, it vii De
found that every industrious Hawaiian,
that works enough to feed himself. serves
the State by supporting himself, and
acquits himself as a law-abiding subject,
will find his name on the poll list. Prac-
tically. suffrage under the Constitution is
free, and no Hawaiian is SO RpOr as to be
excluded-the suffrage is based on that
manhood which proves itself, the right
metal, by dischArging the duties implied in
manhood.

training the native pupils, numbering about
40, in their studies, in discipline and order.
After the examination was finished, the
pupils exhibited their declamatory talent

Kunuiakea, was = decided success. The
beautiful accent with which he delivered
himself was pleasure TO all that heard him
speak. "CicerO against Verres" was well
rendered by Andrew Kamauoha. Singing
the two songs "The Beauties of Country
Life" and the college Boys" closed the
exercises.
AMER the examination, the boys cleared
their books of the tables, and they were
ioyfully replaced by tempting dishes The
