PASSING OPINIONS.

Major Dane, who was recently IN this
country, has been lecturing about it on
the Coast. His opinion of what he saw
and understood here is very favorable.
At the Metropolitan Temple, San Fran
cisco, he recently addressed an audience !
of over one thousand people, the lecture |
being delivered on behalf OF the Teach |
ers' Relief Society His subject was the |
Hawaiian Islands, and he succeeded in
interesting his hearers fully. lie
traced the history OF civilization IN
thee Islands from 1927, showing the
gradual but steady improvement that
had been made in the interval Com
pairing the thrift and enlightenment OF the
native people now with what it was IN
those days, he said the difference be-
tween then and now was as great and
marked as between darkness and light.
This perhaps is an extreme view to take,
but certainly there is great justification
even for such comparison. Ii the adj
vent of the white race brought physical
evil in one direction, it had an elevatlng
influence in another; and although the
older people of the Hawaiian race are to
the full as industrious as the younger
ones, if not more so, the radical change
that has taken place in their social and
industrial condition fully accounts for
this.
Major Dane had a good word to say
for our planters also. He said that he
Il Il Iah n1If 81
he had seen none of it on the Islands
Laborers were free to come and go, and
were paid wages ranging from $13 to $50
per month, which he thought compared
fairly well with wages paid in America
There were many splendid farms on the
Islands, and any one riding through the
large and fertile plains could scarcely de
tect the difference between that country
and the prairies of Illinois or Iowa. Larg'
droves of cattle could be seen, and on al
the Islands combined there were 1OO,OO'
sheep and nearly as many cattle. Ill
closed his lecture with a peroration OF
the beauties of Hawaiian scenery, TIN
desirability of its climate and the hospi
tality and Observation-Disclosures of its PEG
pie.
We are gratifed to be able to repro
duce these remarks by our late accom-
plished visitor, who is keen and care
full observer, and we anticipate substar
tial benefit from his presentation
tAto. the geeple
of our own newspapers, some of whic
did not hesitate to injure the countr
financially and otherwise to satisfy
private grudge against some individua
In authority, or to apply salve to disaT
pointed and baffled ambition. The ties
tinony of Major Dane in the lecture feel
will go far towards removing these falls
impressions; meanwhile he has laid a
classes of people in this country unde
obligations to him for the manly and il
telligent exposition he has given of Ha
waiian affairs.

A Fatal Accident

A Chinaman was out riding at Homo
kaa, Hawaii, one day last week, when
his horse took fright and ran away at
terrible rate. The Chinaman slipped
off one side of the animal, but his right
foot getting entangled in rope, he was
dragged considerable distance before
he got free. When picked up he was
dead, his body being frightfully bruised.
A four-horse team took fright at the run
away and bolted, the driver being
thrown to the ground, but he was not
seriously hurt.

wAsnIS0ToS, ID. G., April 5.-Tn an
interview yesterday Buffalonlan claims
TO throw light on tho reason why long
petitions In behalf Of an applicant for
office carry very little weight with the
President. The dispenser says "when
Mr. Cleveland was Mayor Of Buffalo
number Of his enemies organized a con.
spiracy against him. One thing they did
was to draw up petition requesting him
TO resign. Knowing how good-natuted
business men generally are In the matter
Of signing petitions, never reading them,
but signing whenever asked, they tDok
the petition around 10 a number Of
Cleyeland's own friends. Sure enough,
they oil put their names down on being
asked.
When the petition came 10 Mayor
cleyelani he WIS considerably surprised
TO dad the names of many u his best
friends on the paper. Now you know that

there was some mistake. lie sent for
some Of his friends whose names were on
