The question whether the state
should or should not educate its chill
dren beyond the rudments, is question
nboth sides which much has been and
always will be said; But one analogous
question seems to have but one side
II the state educatcs any OF its children
in the higher walks of learning, ought
1t to educate any except those who
have shown unmistakable aptitude for
the higher education
"Train up child in the way he
should go and when he is old he will
not depart from it," There is not only
the wisdom of Christian philosophy in
this, but also the wisdom OF practical
experience-bitter practical experience,
as the world knows TO its sorrow. Let
Hawaii take leaf from the worlds ex-
perience and train its children for the
strength and beauty of life to which
mere bread winning is neither the sum
nor the substance.
The relations between employer and
employee, between manager, overseer
and luna on the one hand and opera
tives or laborers on the other, are always

Although the situation is concisely
indicated in the lines preceding, yet
King kalakaua's dismay of Mr.. Glib
sons duplicity is .purely figure of
speech. As the leading article of this
week expresses it, Mr.. Gibson is pre-

wants to use the king.
Does any one in England ever think
of holding Queen Victoria responsible
either for legislation, the execution of
laws or the administration of depart
mental routine9 No. Why not1 Be
cause the sovereign, in England, is not
responsible. She or he has become a
royal figurehead, a gilded compliment
to tradition, an expensive but perhaps
a wise concession to conservatism
that is willing to pay for its luxurics
The conservatives Of the Hawaiian Is
lands whites as well as natives are
perfectly willing to pay for the luxury
Of being ruled over by king always
