The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1856-1888, 1878-03-23

The heat, all through the Southern Hemisphere
and Pacific Islands the past three or four months
has been almost unprecedented. We read of great
suffering and even deaths among the inhabitants
from this cause. All the great rivers were fast dry
ing up, and stock were suffering for water. Their
summer and our winter seem to be have been very
similar, though the heat with US has been more
moderate. At Bourke, South Australia, the Their
mometer reached 1920 in the shade on the 18th of
January, and in some parts of the interior it went
up to 1450 in the sun We can family realize such
a frightful temperature when we remember that
water boils at 2120. The people console themselves
with the fact that heat is not the only thing that has
gone up-hay having reached the figure of $3.50
per ton, and -four, $3.50! In New Guinea, the
plantations are all burnt up, and the natives we're
suffering frightfully from the drought. The hills,
which heretofore at midsummer, were covered with
grass a foot high, are now quite bare. The Rev.
MI. Lawes, recently from that island. writes in the
Sydney .Argus, that the great drought will cause the
next season to be an unusually hungry one. So it
will be seen that famine is to be anticipated. We shall
soon learn if this extraordinary weather has ex-
tended through South America.

How to Make Nominations---A -Argu.
ment for the Primary System.

1t has boen often urged that
primary elections arc much moro
demoralizing in their tendency than
conventions. Let us consider some
facts rs tending to throw light on
this matter. Two counties, Lam
castor and Ncwbcrry, wcrc called
upon to mako nominations last
week; tho former BY primaries, tho
latter by convention. In Lancaster
tho nominations wore mado with
the loss of ono man stabbed. In
Ncwberry, tlc convention was vcxed
by contcsting delegations and by
such press Of outsiders that u
secret session was ordered, during
tho progress Of which two of the
most prominent citizcns of tho
county engaged in u rencountcr,
and both received wounds from
pistols, thus causing an adjourn~
mcnt of the convention without u
nomination. The advantage seems
to rest with Lancaster, for she
finished her task, while Nowbcrry
has to go through her ordeal again.
Docs any ono think that differences
thus arising in convention will be
more easily healed than the discord
raised at the primaries Hal tho
convention plan been adopted in
Lancaster tho same wrangling
would have occurred over the
selection Of delegates by each club
rs arose over the direct vote.
Again, had Ncwbclry adopted the
primary system there could havo
been no contcsting delegations.
We wish to call especial attention
to the points involved in this con
tost in Ncwberry, as showing how
readily tho convention system gives
rise to issues in which plausible
arguments can be advanced on
either side, thus aflording an easy
opportunity to disaffected parties
to raise tho cry of unfairnoss. One
OF the Nowherry clubs was divided
between Colonel Subor and George
Johnstono, Esq, for tho Logisla
turo, and it appears that the
adherents Of tho former were slight
ly in tho majority. The club was
entitled to scven delegates. Some
difficulty having arisen, the adj
horonts of Mr.. Johnstono withdrew,
organized and elected threo dele
gates, their proportion numerically
bong about three- -sovcnths of tho
club. Tho members who remained,
elected: not four, but all seven
delegates, for Colonel Suber, thus
refusing to recognize tho with
drnwn] of tho others. It docs not
appear that any illegal votes woro
cast on either sido. When the
convention mot, thcsc two sots of
delegates applied for admission. A
committee on credentials was ap
pointed. A majority reported in
favor OF seating four delegates for
Colonel Snber, and tho three
.Johnstonc delegates, on tho ground
that this was q fair proportion.

gates in convention of twenty,
Tho convention docs not represent
tho party.
The safety Of tho Democratic
party depends upon Il hearty sup
port Of the nominations. Whoever
bolts legal primary election, bolts
simply because he wants otlico and
will seek aid from the other party,
for no questions Of majority can
ariso. But sometimes voxed ques-
tions arise in conventions by which
the best men consider themselves
aggrioved, and q bolt thus organs
, lied is much harder to deal with.
! What the mass Of the Democracy
wish to know is simply what is the
wish of the majority, and they will
support it every time. It is only
when q question arisos as to what is
really tho voice of the majority that
tho people sometimes waver.
This article is intended simply
as an abstract argument Oh q much
mooted question. We do not mean
to criticise either Lancaster or New
berry. Tho troubles that have
arisen are incidental to every con =
test where two strong candidates.
are opposed to each other. Human
nature is human nature everywhere,
whether stirred up by primaries or
by conventions. Wo have tho
highest respect for the opposing
candidates in each county. They
arc good men and good Democrats.
The fight has boen for the nomina~
ton, n perfectly legitimate cause of
contest, and we have no apprehcn-
sion Of bolt on either side. Yet
all must agree that such differences
arc unfortunate, and every prccau-
ton should be taken to insure unity.
Whether tho position attributed
to the respective parties in New
berry is correct in all particulars wo
know not. Our information is
gathered from newspaper reports.
But if incorrect in regard to any
special instance, the state of facts
can be assumed, generally, for tho
sake Of argument.
The moro we havo seen of politi-
cal contests the moro we aro con-
vinced that, although no plan is
perfect, the primary system is tho
best Such is tho general consent
in other States, whenovor it is de-.
sired to hear tile voice of tho pco-
pie rs it comes from tho people,
without passing through several
intermediate stages. Tho system
has succeeded everywhere else.
Give it q fair trial in South Caro-"
lima.

Common SchOOEs.-.EeGfer from
Rev. Chas. H. OGl<en.

To the Editors Of the CLARION:
have just read your editorial on Common
Schools. | take pleasure in saying that it
meets my hearty appreciation. One great
fault is we attempt too much. | am de-
cidedly in favor of limiting definitely the
studies that should be pursued in the COM
mon schools. Writing, spelling, geography,
reading, arithmetic and English grammar,
are sufficient studies to be taught at the
public expense. The State cannot do more
and do it well. Three or four additional
studies pursued by six or a dozen pupils
will receive as much attention and cost as
much as fifty pupils in the common branches.
This is hardly fair. The object of the State
is to benefit the many rather than the few :;
to lay foundation upon which every child
may build, is the main idea, in this humane
department of the Government.
School statistics show that about ten per
centum of pupils in the common schools
pursue advance studies.
1fthe State is able to establish High Schools
let it be done; bnt let the common school be
kept distinct from the High Schools. This
is not only right, but wise. Where the two
are combined it generally works to the det-
riment of the many.
Then too, every effort should be made to
lay the foundation for permanency. The
ages of pupils in the common schools should
be restricted from six to sixteen or seven
teen.

thought will meet all the requirements OF
