1.-THE storm of the last few days which has
flooded our streets, has made more appar-
'ent than ever the need that exists for more
sheltersheds on our wharves, in order that
freight inward and outward bound may be
laden or unladen at all times, without risk
or damage from rain. The accommoda-
tions are entirely Inadequate; and very
great confusion arises from the goods being
piled up on each other under shelter. The
large warehouse ~(20Ox10O) now being built
on the lot opposite the Custom House will
probably, be supplemented by a large shed
extending from the building to the wharf
beneath which all goods can be safely stored
at all times.
We are also led to speak of the want of
wharf room for the reception of cargoes.
AS it is now, vessels are obliged to lay two
deep in some places. AS a leading mer-
chant remarked Honolulu is just begin
ming to feel the pressure of the trade that ere
many years will make absolutely necessary
an extension of our wharf system so as to
indicate the line of reef On the opposite
side of the harbOr to be connected with
the mainland by a railway encircling the
entire water front. l1 H

In connection with the recent unwilling
of the bronze Statue of Kamehameha I. it
may be well to recall here some points in
its history. The execution of an ideal statue
of the Conquerer, was, after deliberation, en-
trusted by the Committee to the late Mr.
Thomas Gould a Boston artist, who spent
Gould was celebrated for some very fine
Oscillations among which may be men
toned his colossal heads "Christ and Satan,"
his statue "The West Wend" which
the London Art Journal commended as
can original and breezy figure" his
cleopatra" his "Ariel" and others.
Mr.. Gould's statue of the great Hawaiian
hero must be named amongst the list of the
successes. The general idea of this work he
took from the suggestions of the Chairman
of the Commemoration Committee, Mr..
Gibson, but the manner in which the idea
has been realized is wholly due to his own
genius. The casting of the statue in bronze,
and the subsequent production of the re-
plea which has just been placed on its
pedestal were confided to Mr.. F. Barbedi-
enne of Paris whose execution of his task
deserves the highest commentator. There
are others also besides the members of
the Committee to whom we are indebt-
ed for the interest they have taken in
the work. Our neighbors, Messrs. F. a.
Schaefer and Co., who V acted as agents
for the Committee here, and Mr.. Gustave
Milchers, who has represented their in
tetests in Bremen, are both entitled to a
need of praise for the interest they have
taken in the matter. Mr.. J. w. Austin, of
Boston, through whom the arrangements
with the artist Were made, spared no trouble
in his voluntarily accepted task and we
should not omit to mention the kindly in
terest in the Statue taken by Hon. Mr..
Noyes, the United Minister at Paris, who
was so much taken with the work hat he
brought it unde the notice of the whole of
the diplomatic corps in that city.

AS an illustration of inconsistency n
iperverse opposition, we have heard several
parties brawl out the great extravaganza of
the Government in the matter of the Coro-
nation, when we can remember that they
had nothing to say against the Green adj
ministration, which distracted more than
S16O, 600 from various appropriations for
public institutions and improvements, and
applied the same to the construction of the
Royal Palace. Possibly they enjoyed m
mense pIofit from the expenditure of that
sum through contracts which they
then held from the Government, and I'M
doubtedly accounts for their silence or ap-
prevail of that measure of the former Min
istry, which took money designed for the
building of hospitals and roads, schools and
charitable institutions, and absorbed it in
the construction of a suitable abode for
the King. But when a comparatively
small sum was duly appropriated by the
Legislature for a very proper State cere-
monial, these people raised objections
without any foundation or regard for the
public welfare, but because the present
Ministry did not see fit to give them a
monopoly of public patronage, or allow
them to secure as much plumber by way of
exhorbitant profit as they desired.

THOUGH some coronation festivities are
still forthcoming, yet we may contemplate
the Coronation as an accomplished factI
and begin TO give our attention TO other
topics. We doubt not, from the evidence
of the steps already taken, that the present
Government will carry ont all its various
enterprises in the future as resoluteiy ana
with as much Indifference to outside clamor
as it has in the past. The matter of public
health will continue to be a consideration OF
paramount Importance. AS we have before
stated, arrangements have been entered
into for the introduction N establish
ments of a band OF Sisters of Charity. An
engagement has been made conformity
with a scientific body abroad to enable an
eminent European medical scientist to
study and investigate ieprosy in our hospi-
tails with the amplest appliances and faciii-
ties that advanced knowledge AMI govern
mental patronage can supply. The hospi-
tails for the care of the sick ON the other
islands will be built i'm accordance with the
provisions made by the Legislature. other
enterprises of the Government, sHch as ats
road making, bridge-huilding and public
structures, which have already received
vigorous and active attention, will be push
ed still more vigorously and actively. The
Department of Law win pursner its police
investigation. SO as to render still more efti-
cient the administration of that branch OF
the service. The Finance Department, in
view of the generous sources of revenue
much exceeding the estimates, will not
have need to wall itself very largely of the
authority for borrowing granted by the
Legislature, except in promoting the para
mount measure of immigration. For this
vital national measure there is large proyi-
sion, and the Government will be unremit-
ting in it's efforts ia take steps for the intro
duction of labor aud the ~repopulation ofthe
Kingdom. rfF- ga rofFt4t4 aYfM

EDITOR p. c.. ADVERTISER The subject of
education has, very properly, occupied much
space in the journals published here, and ], hav-
ing had some few years experience here, and
elsewhere, rs II teacher, would like to give ex-
preston, through your paper to my ideas upon
the subject.
In teaching the young Hawaiians, in the Eng
lish language, the first. and most essential point
is for the teacher to know that his pupils under
stand what they are required to commit to mem
DRY. There is a wide difference between learn
ing and memorizing, A boy, with hardly any
knowledge of the meanings of words, may
repeat in the English language, a rule that
embodies words of whose meaning he is entirely
ignorant. 1 have often called upon a pupil to
give me the rule for doing some sum-we will
say-and then, when he has shown himself
"letter-perfect," by repeating it word for word,
stumped lin completely by asking him what
was meant by some word. Any teacher who will
try the experiment, will find that words that
have a definite meaning to the ears of children
to the manner born, cannot be defined by the
average Hawaiian scholar here. Nor is this to be
wondered at when we know that the greater num-
Der of teachers here and lsewherea aim at pushing
their pupils through as many "books" in the
course of school term as l. possible. This they are
forced to do as a general thing by the mistaken
idea that very many parents have that the more
books their children go through the more knowl-
edge they will acquire. There never was a
greater mistake. In arithmetic, for example,
1" Colburn's Mental than which there was
never designed a more complete methods
hurried through, dropped before its principles
are fully mastered, and some "higher book
taken up and bolted, like a hurried MONDAY
lunch, without being half masticated. A pupil
of mine came to me the other day and told me
she could not understand a certain sum |
looked at it and found the word rectangle "
used to describe the figure of which it was de-
sired to know the superficial area. Upon in
quiry I found that the pupil did not know what
a rectangle - was-by that name. l spbsti-
tuted the word "box, (" and the whole sum was
then clear to the scholar.
I do not propose that our present school books
shall be rewritten-that has been done too often
already-but 1 would suggest that the teachers
examine themselves and each other, so that they
may know whether they are teaching their pupils
as they go on with their studies day by day, or
whether they are simply big pitchers pouring
into lesser pitchers Imperial gallons OF facts
and figures until they are full to the brim. G.

TT IS a little curious that no complaint
has been made of late by our contemporaries
of the present condition of Nuuanu street
throughout its length, or of Beretania
street in that part where the Road Super
visor has finished it's grading and maca-
damizing. That there is no cause for COM
plant is no argument with them, and
hence we are lead to think that they do not
believe that any good can come out of the
present administration, more especially
the Interior Department. We would call
the attention of the amiable stalwarts to
the fact, that in that part of Fort street that
remains as the last administration left it,
taro has been planted and, if the weather
should much longer stop the Improvements
that have been begun by the present Min
lister of the Interior in that quarter, the
chances are that a crop will be realized. of
course we know that when the Minister of
Interior resumes work on that street,
which will be as soon as the weather will
permit-he will hen be abused for destroy
ing the poor mans taro patch. However,
you can't please everybody. saa

IN view of the perfect success of the
event Of the browning of the King and
Queen, we are led to look back at the gem
eral denunciation and utilization of the &C.
casion by an INSCRIPTIONS opposition, which
took much pains to say that the ceremony
was not only uncalled for, but did not
awaken the slightest interest among either
people of influence, or the masses of the
population. What al answer to all this was
the vast assembly that met on Coronation
Day? Hints were continually thrown out
about the dissatisfaction OF the discontented
classes on account of useless expenditure,
and it was ~insinuated that the disapproval
of the people would eliminate in some open
manifestation of Indignation on the day of
Coronation How plainly can it be seen
now, in view of the peace and good order
which everywhere prevailed among the
multitude on that day, that all this talk
of discomfort and probable disturbance
was entirely the sinister inventions
of mal-content writers and speakers
They hoped to create the dissatisfac-
ton and disturbance which they talked
of and prophesied about. In this they have
signally and miserably failed, but they have
produced one effect, we believe, which con-
sists of creating some apprehension abroad,
that there would be trouble here on this oc-
casion of the Coronation. This false rumor
promoted and circulated by our malignant
soreheads has had the one effect, no doubt,
of lettering many from visiting our capital,
who had intended to witness the
of the Coronation. We chad enough to
honor the ceremony, and are satisfied with
the eminent popularity of the event, but if
any regret the absence of foreign visitors
if our hotels ave not had the greatest pat
ronage anticipated, flour business men have
not realized the utmost of their expecta-
lions, they know to whom must be attributed
their disappointment and loss. The unnat-
ural bitterness, savage denunciations and
cowardly inuendos of i~llegitimate oppo-
sition nave illuminated the nation abroad.

the occasion of our great national
ceremonial are prevented by apprehensions
of impending dangers, which eminated
from mendacious Misrepresentation. Con-
~sequently our merchants feel a loss and
other business men are disappointed; the
country loses the many advantages hat
would flow from intercourse with distin-
guished foreigners and their necessary ex-
penditures while here, and the ignominous
reproaches and inuendos against our gene

gated to our harm come back at last upon
the malicious authors who invented them.

AN Extra issued from this office yester-
day, and published in the by Authority "
columns of to-day, announces a change IN
the Ministry. The late Minister of Finance,
the Hon Simon X. Kaai, has resigned, in
official parlance, and the Hon. J. NJ. Kapena
has been appointed in his stead. This
gentleman has held the office of Minister of
Finance during a former Ministry, and also
that of Minister of Foreign Affairs in the
Wilder Ministry. On the resignation of
Mr.. a. p. Brickwood from the Postmaster
Generalship in 1881, Mr.. Kapena was APP
pointed to that important office. During
his incumbency as Postmaster General, the
Post-cffice has undergone many changes,
all of which nave been for the better. The
most important step that has been taken,
is that of Hawaii having Joined the
Universal Postal Union, a step
to which Mr.. Kapena's predecessor was
very much averse. AS was expected, it
proved a boon to the country and reflects
credit on the observation-disclosures. In
October last a special mission to Japan was
organized and Postmaster General Kapena
was selected by His Majesty as the Special
Envoy to that country. During his absence,
the duties of the p. NJ. G. were faithfully,
periorHeu W MI. Telersoh, TIE assistant
p NJ. g. On the Hon. Mr.. Kapena's re-
turn last month he esumed charge of the
Post-office until yesterday morning, when
it was intimated to him that it had pleased
His Majesty to appoint him Minister of
Finance. He is to be congratulated on his
promotion. though some of his friends re-
gret to lose his services in the Postal Depart
ment. r- as-a
However, in the appointment of Hon.. H.
NJ. Whitney, the community nave an adj
ministrative officer of skill and fidelity, and
of large experience in postal affairs. The
country is to be congratulated in this APP
pointment. -sfee gadH
