pENJDEH VALLEY.

Condie Stephen, bearer of des-
patches from Sir Peter Lumsden to
the, British Government, says -
"The British Commission started
for Sir-i-Pool directly after the Pen
jdeh battle. On reaching the Para
pomisan Mountains, a terrific SNOW
storm rendered progress slow, and
many camp-followers were lost. The
defeated Afghans retreated by ano-
ther route via Maruchak and Bald
Murghab.; tPenjdehValley is most
fertile oasis and lovely country, with
splendid pasture lands. In Spring
time the ground is literally oarpeted
with flowers. DIR. Atchison, the
botanical expert, was delighted, and
he made a valuable collection of the
flora. The valley abounds in game.
The party killed $50 phcasants daily.
Murenhaub abounds in waterfowl,
and the hills are stocked with
gazelles, antelopes, wild sheep and
pigs. The Afghans were always
kind and attentive to the wants of
the Commission, and did their ut
most to provide them with food and
comforts, though the task was diff
cult, the country being uninhabited.
The party also saw the ruins of
numerous ancient towns. When
Mr.. Stephen left the Commission,
all the members were in good health
and spirits" @'1'

EDITORIAL NOTES.

Whiskey failed as an antidote in
the case of q boy lately bitten by a
rattlesnake at Fresno, Cal. If
whiskey is not good for irattlesnake
bites, what is it good for, anyhow?
In this issuejwilI be found instruc-
.tions, by Miss Rossiter, for null
berry tree growing. People who in
tend to go into silk-raising should
plant the food trees in the earliest
appropriate season. Time is money.
A protest laid before President
Cleveland by delegation of Nor
mons complained that the Federal
Courts in Utah applied the Edmunds
law only to members of their church.
Persons accused of offences coming
clearly within the prohibitions of the
act were released, the judges hold
ing that the law was only intended
for Mormons. The President pro-
missed to see that the law was faith
fully administered, 1t looks ano-
malous, to say the least, to exempt
Gentiles guilty of Mormon practices
from the operation of the law.
Their want of faith should be ac-
counted an aggravation of the
offense.

EDUCATING THE MASSES.

The San Francisco Gull discusses
the question Of Education and
Labor" 1t is given a text in the
opinion expressed by the Virginia
State Superintendent of Agriculture,
that schooling is a bad thing for
colored people, as it tends to unfit
them for labor in the fields" In
this kingdom sometimes the senti-
ment is heard that the prosperity of
the country is based upon the bruta-
lity of a large proportion of its in
habitants. Main strength and
stupidity" are the qualifications

planters look for in their labor, ac-
cording TO the uttcrance Of a mem
Der of their Convention. Such ideas
are calculated TO dclude the mind,
on account of Il certain element of
truth isolated examples show them
to contain. 1t is satisfaction to
know That these notions have not
been allowed to influence the cduca-
tional policy Of this kingdom. The
Legislature is never more cheerfully
liberal than when voting the public
funds for educating the children of
natives and those of field laborers.
Surely nobody would apprehend as
Il calamity the rising of a proportion
of these classes, by the force of
talents developed by the schools, to
higher positions in life than those
occupied by their parents! We
quote the following sensible obscrva-
tions from the Call
1t is probably true that marked
superiority in education inspires q
man. whether white or colored, with
the ambition to get his living with
out manual labor, Such, persons
regard their superior education as
so much capital, which should he
made to yield some return. But n
gradual lifting of the masses of the
people from absolute ignorance, so
far as schooling enters into educa-
ton, should not raise them above
their business. All stand on q higher
plane and are better fitted for the
work they have to do. Their higher
standing is not relative to each
other, but to all with the generation
that preceded them. There is
nothing in their condition which
should incite one to an assumption
of superiority over the others. Let
us take, for example, neighborhood
of one hundred heads OF families,
farmers, mechanics and laborcrs,
who have schooling sufficient to en-
able them to read, write and cast up
their own accounts. Let us compare
this neighborhood with another
equally we'll located, but from which
the schoolhouse has been banished.
Which of these is likely to become
the most proficient in their various
lines of business? Which will get
the most enjoyment out of life ?
Would not the ability to read in his
leisure hours afford some happiness
to the laborer? Would not the
ability to store his mind with facts
and keep the run of current events
enable him not only to do his work
better, but to pass the time devoted
to work the more pleasantly?
Probably there will be less talk
about education spelling youth for
practical usefulness, after full frui-
tion has been reached by the move
ments now afoot throughout the
world to associate industrial with
intellectual education.

THIS EVENINGS DOlNCS.
A COMMON CAUSE,

To have the lines laid down for n
cause of political reform. which
should attract all the patriotic clc-
ments of the kingdom, would be Il
tasl; of no small magnitude. 1t
would involve an amount of work
that could scarcely by any possibi-
lity be compressed within even our
long Legislative recess. Consider
for a moment portion of what
would have to be accomplished.
Without eXaggeration, there is some
thing like dozen of questions, each
vital to the future of the kingdom, to
be discussed deliberately, nationally,
and with a simplicity to be appre-
ciated by the masses. Upon some
of these questions there exists a
diversity of opinion among oppo-
nents of the present administration,
as well as among its supporters.
Nothing but earnest and thorough
discussion of all open questions will
secure an intelligent public opinion
upon them. Especially onerous
labor needs to be incurred to have
public affairs elucidated for the
benefit of the native electorate. This
is matter that our English-speak-
ing publicists appear to hold too
much in the background. With the
aboriginal vote prcpondcrating in
the various constituencies, it is use
less to thing of progressive nation
al policy triumphing, unless the Ha-
waiians are led to an intelligent con-
ception of all the issues. 10 With evil
dences abounding of the teachablc-
ness of that race, and in view Of the
patent fact of its controlling voice in
affairs, it is marvellous that, on the
Opposition side at least, there is no
systematic effort to cultivate public
opinion in the Hawaiian division of
the body polite. Politicians may
Or may not take this hint, but one
day, it is safe to predict, they will
come to acknowledge that their
hammering at the English mind
alone, however malleable it may be
to their strokes, has only amounted
to pounding the air, SO far as shap-
ing the destinies of the nation by
constitutional methods is concerned.
1t is, indeed, supreme duty de-
volving upon the representatives of
Anglo-Saxon civilization to do all
possible for the further enlightcn-
ment and elevation of the people
who began so well the race of civili-
zation as did these Hawaiians. They
have been hindcrcd in the good pro-
gress by being handicapped with the
dregs and offscourings, the vices and
depravities, of nations that first gave
them leaders to conduct them into
upward paths. Therefore, it is in
cunbent upon members of those
nationalities who have cast in their
lot with this leading Polynesian race
and nation, to assume the responsi-
bilities resigned with life by the
pioneers of civilization in these isles.
Otherwise, they will justly come
under like condemnation with those
who have striyen to undo the good
work so auspiciously begun.
