who undertook to civilize the native
race Of these islands set before them
selves.
The native Hawaiians are
pleasure-loving race. They love sum
shine, and are passionately fond of
song and dance. Why not encourage
the innocent qualification of these
natural impulses? They are accord
ing to nature. They were born in the
race, and are part and parcel of their
that all dancing is sinful is, at the
very least, a mistake. Light-hearted
people everywhere love dancing.
Young people everywhere dance, ex-
cept those whose home training has
repressed this natural impulse, or, to
be more correct, has denied it the
chance of graceful expression. The
consciousness of awkwardness thence
after does the work of self-restraint,
until it becomes second nature.
But first nature is true nature. 1t is
natural. 1t is the work of the Creator,
who fashions each mortal for some
special end, and endows every race of
mankind with different physical pc
culiarities, manners and impulses.
Second nature, on the other hand, is
not true it is artificial. Nature in
trOduced variety into the races of
mankind second nature seeks to re-
duce all to dead level of uniformity.
Wherefore, we infer that the native
race might be elevated morally and
socially, and most certainly physi-
cally, by encouraging them in out
door sports and amusements. Let
them crafty their natural impulses
but let it be in the light of day, under
the eye of public criticism, and not
in the holes and corners, as now, sur
rounded by the darkness of night and
the more profound and impenetrable
darkness of vice and infamy. If the
course indicated by us had been fol-
lowed in the past, the chances are ten
thousand to one that the native Ha-
waiian would have discarded their
IasciviOus dance with disgust and
Ioathing more than q score of years
ago, but they were driven to its
secret preparation as a wild but
miserable qualification of natural
impulse which might have been so
easily directed into other and purer
channels.
The conclusion we come to, there
fore, is that there is too much leisure
time and too few public holidays in
this Kingdom. The amusements of
the people come properly within the
domain Of public morals. It is not
for us to suggest any plan of popular
amusements, however. We fulfill our
duty rs journalists to point out a
grave defect in our social system, and
to suggest that there would be in
finitely less drunkenness, vice and
crime i'm the community if there were
more frequent opportunities for ra-
tional public enjoyment like that at
Kapiolani Park yesterday. Draw the
native people away from the vile dens
so many of them inhabit in Honolulu
whose existence is disgrace TO any
community claiming Christian civili-
zation-and there will be a more
healthy impulse given to their lives.

THE BUREAU OF PENSIONS.

Commissioner Black Lays Down the
Requirements For Examining Sur
geOns.
WASHINGTON, April 2S.-In reply to an
inquiry from Senator CockrelI, Commissioner
OF Pensions Black has addressed that gentle
man letter on the subject of the appoint
ment OF examining surgeons for the various
pension boards in which he points out the
requirements deemed essential in the selec-
ton OF examining surgeons. He says: cap
polntees must be men of tried professional
ability and experience, at least five years of
professional practice being considered essen
tial, and they must be men of diligence, men
VINO would be unwilling to make a slip-shod
examination in any case or subscribe to the
work of Others" Where the above reaui-
sites are combined the commissioner prefers
the appointment of men who have been in
the military service of the United States.
Boards to be organized" he SAYS,
will consist in every case where the above
requisites can be combined of two Democrats
and one Republican, it being one of the aims
of the commission to strip this branch of the
public service of all partisan bias and to rem
der these boards what they should be-safe-
guards to the public treasury as we'll as Just
witnesses to the rights of lawful claimants
against the government.
In conversation with Mr.. Black this after
noon representative of the United Press
was informed that he has issued orders di-
recting the suspension of payment from
the Philadelphia pension agency of
102 pensions, the original recipients
of which have been dead in some
instances since 1871, but the names
have been carried on the rolls and the pen
sions regularly drawn by other persons since
the death of the original recipients The
commissioner has also directed the suspen-
sion of payment from the Philadelphia agen-
cy of seven pensions which were granted to
widows. These pensioners it has
been ascertained, Notwithstanding
their remarriage, have continued
to draw pension for several years past. Com
missioner Black has laid these matters before
the Attorney General and requested him to
take steps to recover from the pension agent
and his bondsmen the sums so unlawfully
disbursed. Figures to be issued at the pen
sion Office on May it is said will show that
the work of the bureau during the past
month will be considerably greater than that
of any praviOuS month il, ito history

Then followed some debate upon the mat

ter.
Selectman Klenke wished weeks time to
consider the matter.
Selectman Treat said that the blank forms
are furnished by the State and that it was in
excusable in the Board to let the present
state of things continue. The registrar
should be compelled to use the State forms.
On motion of Selectman Beecher the reso-
luton was laid on the table for one week.
Selectman Feldman then moved that the
clerk be instructed to recall from DR.. Do
herty the forms of marriage licenses furnish
ed by the town Mr.. Beecher made an amend
ment that burying permits be included.
Selectman Treat seconded the motion and
with the substitution of demand" for ere
call' the motion passed
Lawyer White said that the State blanks
could be had for the asking and the authority
to use other forms was only implied author
ity. He gave an explanation of the change
in the law and the difference between the old
and the new law.
According to the old law any officer of the
State receiving fixed salary who appropri-
ates any sum in excess of the legal salary
upon conviction shall be fined not exceeding
81, 900 or be imprisoned not more than one
year, at the discretion of the court In the
new law certain specifications in regard to
the blanks are left out.
Bills were approved as follows: Outside
