existed before 1870 our shipbuilding

one million per annum.
4. IRoNcLAps BUILDING. Instead
Of making up lost ground we are losing
it, and two years hence France will be
ahead Of us in second-class ironclads,
and our superiority in the frst.class
will have been slightly diminished.
4. REPAIRS. = Repairs have to some
extent been sacrificed to building, with
the result that more than half our
third. class ironclads can hardly be re-
garded as fit to go into battle.
S. GUNs,-Our guns actually fitted
are inferior both in weight and in
power to those Of France and Italy.
We have not one ironclad aloat armed
with the new breeohloader, of which
500 have been made since 1880.
6. OUR FOREIGN STATIONS, In
case Of sudden WI, the French have
better fighting ships on the China sta
ton than England the Chilian iron
clads are stronger than our Pacific
cruisers, the new ironclad Of Brazil
could sweep our South American
squadron off the sea. On the other
stations we have ships better than the
best that could be sent against them.
7. The PROTECTION OF OUR Ma
RiNE.-Our fast ocean cruisers avail
able for POLICING our maritime high
ways against the Aabamas Of the future
are insufficient to allot three to each
station We have 10000 merchant
men scattered all over the world to pro-
tect, and only. "a unarmored ships of
speed exceeding ID knots for their pro-
lection.

TIoNs. A hostile cruiser could with
almost entire impunity destroy to-mor
row the coaling stations Of Hong Kong,
Singapore, Bombay, the Cape, Ascen-
sion, st. Helena, Mauri,ius, St. Georges
Sound, FIJI, and Vancouver's Island,
which are virtually unprotected, al
though Hong Kong has four torpedo
boats, and there are slight fortifcatioas
at one or two of the other ports.
9. Docks. We have eight foreign
stations and four docks. There is no
dock in all India in which an ironclad
could reft, and although a dock is
building at Hong Kong, if the Auda-
cious were injured, she would have to
go to Sydney o eesasae'sso Malta to

EDITOR MORNING GUIDE-Siy After
the article which appeared short time ago
in the Bulletin, which, by the way, was . very
patriotic and sensible comment on the love
and respect which Canadian subjects should
have for their country, it seems rather out ei
place for that paper to take the frs, occasion
to sneer a. an expression Of the patriotism Of
others, and to even 60 so far as to object to
genial George flying the American Gag over
the Hawaiian Hotel on Sundays. As no dis.
respect has ever been shown the Hawaiian
Government by Americans, or by the American
Government, the objection becomes decidedly
absurd, coming as it does from one who is
neither English nor American. nor yet Ha-
waiian.
To leave yssy country for your eountry's good,
o rash Canadian be Il understood.

The object of a literary society here
should be to operate as a genial and
healthy Intellectual stimulus, to quicken
and create thought, to set the mental
pulses to beating more firmly, to de-
velop an interest in questions of larger
application and more abiding interest
than those which generally attract public
attention here. Such a society would
be the very best substitute for an in
stitution of higher education. As a
matter Of fact it would be such an in
stitution, since it would operate not
merely as means for the development
OF thought, but for the acquisition of
knowledge. Its members would dis
cuss large range Of questions Of vari-
Gus degrees OF significance and interest
Politics would occupy large share of
attention, but, politics as divorced
from petty local issues and from the
transitory men and measures Of the
hour Political principals and not poll
teal squabbles would be among the
themes discussed. The larger and
more important problems Of govern
ment and constitutional law would re-
ceive share of the energy which is now
wasted on questions which are new for a
week, and forgotten in month. Ques-
tons of history, literature, science, art,
and criticism would in their turn become
the subject Of debate. And occasionally,
(why not, J the discussion would rise to
themes still higher, to be dealt with by
the speculative reason, to problems with
the solution OF which mankind is per
ennially concerned; the foundations OF
religion and morals, the cardinal facts

to seek the best education that can be
had in the islands or across the sea.
What Hawaii needs more than aught
else is to have the haw Of industry

into the conscience, and held indomit-
ably by the will. Her boys and girls
will need more and more as time goes

II remains to be seen how grateful a
people can be to one who felt how neces-
sary il was for those Of her people whom
she leaves behind her to recognize this
grand law of lie. In the soft air and
calm environment of the Hawaiians tro-
pical home, the constant temptation of
mind and heart is to Incidence. The
Anglo-Saxon coming to Hawaii's shore
has brought the refnements Of civiliza-
ton, and alas its vices also, to tempt
the evil genius Of the sunny isles and
take from the strong children OF the soil
their public and private ambition. Mrs
Bishop has gone to her reward,
Where. beyond these voices, ther. is peace"
being dead, she yet speaketh, protesting
against the evil genius which Incidence,
sensuality and intemperance have
evoked, presenting her virtue against its
vice, her will power against its fatal re-
pose. The outcome of the future life
of the nation is in the hands Of an
education realized in its full importance,

THE truth.

The respectable porion of the community
are highly incensed at most vulgar allusion
contained in paragraph relating to the post.
ponement Of the St. Andrews fair, in this
mornings Guide.-BHiltAn
The paragraph above quoted is a
cowardly attempt to make capital for
itself out Of paragraph in this morn
ings Guide. The paragraph in ques-
ton has been suppressed and would
never have been thought Of again ex-
cept for the Bulletins effort to keep it
alive. No one regrets its appearance
in the Guide more than the writer of
this. And at worst it was merely piece
Of bad taste, without one whit of NAL
ice or indecent thinking. Ifthe prurient
prude who takes the Guide to task can
point to another instance in which
either the Guide or the Press has been
guilty of similar i'll taste, we will cease
wondering at the altitude Of the Bull
letin's ears.
Equally cowardly, and equally unjust
is the attempt to make out that the
Press or the Guide has ever tried to ar
ray any class Of our population against
any other class. Some of the best
friends Of this paper are English and
Germans. The proprietor is of Eng
lish birth. But the facts that the Bull
letin has sneered at things American is
pyouen. American" in yesterdays

nights malice.

We trust that no one will consider
that what we say about the value OF lit.
erary society like the one above outlined
is intended to disparage the work done
by our best schools, or by any one Of
the societies already organized. The
possibilities Of Oahu College as an aid
to a higher national education-as a
stimulus to national research and cul.
ture are great. We hope great things
for Oahu College. We appreciate and
commend the work it is already doing,
and believe that its development will
be upward and onward But so far as
the adult population Of Honolulu are
concerned what they need is the cleo
trio contac, of its best minds. The
Social Science Club does much for the
elder generation. The younger men and
women--and some of their elders also
need a similar organization. One
has already begun work There is
ample field for another
Another great advantage to be de
rived from a good active literary society
here is the fact that it would operate as
a partial corrective to the miserably ma
terialistic tendencies of the age. Our
eyes are so dazzled by the huge strides
lately made in material prosperity, by
the wonderful discoveries of science, and
the thousand inventions by which those
discoveries have been applied to the
practical purposes Of life, by the new
uses of steam and light and electricity,
by the discovery of new continents, the
growth Of new nations, the vast increase
of populations, the commercial prospe-
rity resulting in a wealth almost defying
numerical expression, that we have for
gotten that there are any other realities.
The throbbng sense is so full that the
inner eye and ear have lost their use:
and as for the reason, considered as a
faculty for apprehending super sensuous
truth, it is really quite obsolete. The
perceptive power has all settled in the
finger ends, and anything which cannot
be felt, tasted, OF weighed, this self suffi
cient age is quite ready to pronounce a
fgment ofthe imagination. These ten
denotes, which exist everywhere, Of
course are found in Honolulu. A good
literary society could not fail to be at least
partially corrective Of them, by calling the
attention tosomething besides breadand
butter considerations, and bringing into
prominence the fact thatthere are values
not measurable even by the almighty
dollar

"For all Hawaiians, whether Of ma
tive or foreign blood, the death Of Hon
Mrs. Bishop is a historical event
Through the combined influence of
OF birth, wealth, culture and character,
she occupied position not only pecu-
liar but unique. The representative Of
the most powerful line Of chiefs OF the
oden time, she was also an exponent
Of the best type Of foreign habits and
mode Of life Retaining natural and
proper pride Of ancestry and an interest
in the welfare of her own people, she
so perfectly assimilated the essential
spirit Of Anglo-American culture as to
take easily and naturally hat high posi-
ton in the bes, foreign society to which
her birth and fortune entitled her.
She was thus a link between the old
and the new, between the native and
the foreign, in sense which was not
true of any other person whatever 1t
should be source Of pride and salts
faction alike to the native Hawaiians
and to those foreigners who have la
bored for their elevation and improve
ment, that this peculiar and in some
respects trying position should have
been so gracefully and so worthily filled.
The Hawaiian race may yet develop
many noble characters, manly, brave,
intelligent, patriotic men and loving
devoted and virtuous women, but the
peculiar niche occupied by the lady
who has just passed away, is vacant and
must ever remain So"

TIE EE1MEyIt uEyft SCHOOLS

The magnificent bequest of the late
Mrs. Bishop, in the provision made by
her will for the erection and endowment
Of the Kamehameha Schools, comes to
the rising generation Of Hawaii as an
inestimable boon. To all who have at
heart the welfare of the race there is
greater promise Of good to future gener-
ations in this evidence of the wise fore
thought and matured judgment of the
departed chiefess than could possibly
come from any change in governmental
policy, commercial advantages, develop
ment OF natural resources, or establish
ment of intimate relations with foreign
powers. Whether the government of Ha-
waii shall be in the future monarchical, or
republican, whether she retain her inde-
pendence or be annexed to a foreign
power, the education of the youth who
shall become important factors in de-
veloping her future is secured. The

We have spoken of an education
for Hawaiian youth as being by this
noble gift secured for all time-and
here we may very properly anticipate
the reply that Hawaii is already well
supplied with schools, that the capital
Of the Kingdom is filed with them,
public and private and of all grades;
from the kindergarten for prattling
babes to the higher instruction OF Oahu
College. What, may be asked, is the
need of more schools when none are
now crowded, WHEN country places
without government schools are without
them simply because there are no chill
dren to attend themi The writer never
enjoyed the honor Of admission to the
confidence of the heir Of the Kameha-
mchas, who, ,loving her race, loved itiunto
the end, but he knows whereof he
speaks in affirming that she desired the
best possible educational faculties for
the best boys and girls Of Hawaiian
blood and parentage, and determined
that the schools which her bequest is
intended to establish andsupport should
be forever free from the patronage OF
politics, and the changes and chances
Of corrupt government, and that the
highest judicial body Of the kingdom,
acting in behalf Of her people, should
forever keep her trust in the charge Of
true men. Such schools as the Kane
hamehs schools may. and we trust will, be-

CHICAGO SPECULATION.
All the Bulls" Become Sellers and the Mar
ket Is Forced Down.

CHICAGO, Feb. 23-All the old bulls-Baker,
Hobbs, Comstock and others-were sellers of
wheat to-day, and the crowd has turned bearish
Instead of every little trader having flyer, most
of them tonight are despairing and the 8O-cent
fellows are carrying everything. The situation
of fortnight ago is exactly reversed. Then ev-
erybody was bullish at $102 IL Tonight ev
erybody is bearish at SO 7-Sc There are Just
few commission men who are telegraphing away
tonight to their customers the advice TO buy.
and, if the market should, from the surplus it
now has, go a cent lower, to buy a little more
These are the same commission men who ad-
vised sales at $l.O2 IL. The trading in wheat
to-day was very heavy and although the move
ment in prices was all one way, the scalpers
were very active.
The May options opened at 90 1-Sc, and at this
figure there was good deal of long grain for
sale. At 9S 5-8c there was still more, and as
figures were lowered, more and more 'long'
property came out and helped to weaken the
feeling The biggest sellers were flour traders,
who have been hoping for an advance on the
crop scares floods and other disasters, which
usually act as a bull influence, but the accidents
counted on did not come The people who have
counted on accidents this year have been left
right along.
The weather was bright, and private cables
dull, 1t is of course. getting along toward an
other crop, and, barring accidents, the further
along the bears get with this big stock here the
better chance they have for getting the figures
down. But the worst month for winter wheat
is yet to be passed. The accidents may pan out
yet, and the traders betting on them be winners
after all
May wheat closed at 81 1-Sc With wheat so
very weak, indeed it was no great wonder that
corn dropped, too. The May option, after touch
ing 50 7-8c, closed at So 1-4c The trading in it
was very dull. The scalpers monopolized the
pit, breaking the price on weakness of wheat
and easily advancing it little by small pur-
chases. Receipts 1861 cars) We're small for two
days, and the grading showed it to be of poor
quality.
The traders who were gleefully declaring a
week ago that the pork deal was busted, are not
so gleeful tonight. May pork touched at $3.50
to-day. and closed at $3.50. Lard was $40
and closed at $9.99 IL. Three-quarters of the
recent break has been recovered Insiders say,
too, that provisions are none too high on the
score of merit alone, and that the pressure by
manipulation is yet to be felt. The receipts of
hogs during the week were small-only 80 SOB
head-even less than the week before, and the
shipments East were large, leaving few for
packers. 1t is now figured that the shortage in
hogs at this point for the winter season, this
year, will be about 525, 900 head compared with
last wear.
