ouR SCHOOLS.

The public and private schools Of
Honolulu will soon open again. During
the closing days of last years's work we
were present portion or all of the
time at the examinations and exercises
of most of the schools. There is one
feature of our public school system
Of teaching that recommended itself
highly at that time, to the eye of the
intelligent observer, and which should
not be lost sight of by those interested
in education. This feature was especi-
ally noticeable in the examinations OF
the Fort-Street school. We refer to
the thorough and practical reproduction
of facts, learned by the pupils, in the
written examinations. 1t must have
been gratifying to both educators and
parents to see in the written results of
the years work neatness and exact
ness that would be the highest recon-
mendation that could be afforded to a
practical business man Of the capabili-
ties Of the pupils, should any of them
apply for employment 1t is not false
praise to say, that the boy who returns
to his teacher an examination paper that
could be placed in the hands of prin-
ter without editing, is fit to take hold
of the clerical detail of a business, which,
though Of less importance than pro-
fession, demands more accurate atten-
ton to warrant success. The Govern
ment has always taken liberal view of
educational matters and it is to its cred
it that it has spared no pains in giving
Hawaii the best educationalsyst that
itsappropriations have allowed. ltmight
have done more, but what it has done
seems to have borne good fruits These
remarks apply rather to the proficiency
Of the foreign pupils than to that OF
the native Hawaiians.
We cannot help but think that the
Government has made a mistake in al
lowing Hawaiian children to be taught
at all by teachers who do not speak
Hawaiian 1t reminds us of Oliver
Goldsmith, who once accepted posi-
tion to teach English in German uni
versity and who did not find out, until
he got there, that it was necessary for
him to speak German before he could
teach English. There is no other way to
do away with the disabilities of language
but to separate the races until they have
learned to thoroughly understand each
other While perhaps it would not be
advisable at present to segregatc the
pupils, yetit would at least be advisable
to give the younger pupil teachers who
can make themselves understood
Taking last years work in our schools
as whole it has beenhighly creditable's
and it is to be hoped that during the
coming year no mistakes will be made
by changing or removing teachers who
have been thoroughly acquainted with
their pnpils. Our private schools have
the advantage Of having fewer scholars
but they do no more thorough teaching
than our public schools.

THE DEFIANT MORMONS.
Issuing an Address DcnOuncing the
Law Against POiygauy.

The arrest. trial and Imprisonment of
prominent Mormons for polygamous practi-
ces has stirred them up not little, and the
church organ at Salt Lake City prints five
columns and a half OF an address from John
Taylor and George 9. Cannon, read in a con-
ference at Logan 1t is devoted to structures
on the judicial proceedings at Salt Lake City
calling them preJudced and harsh. and SAYS:
"We join with all saints in invoking bless
ings upon the noble men and women who
have exhibited their integrity to God and the
cause and their devotion to principle by sub
hitting to uondS and imprisonment rather
than deny the faith or break the covenants
Their names viii be held in everlasting honor
in time and eternity, not only as martyrs for
religious truth, but as patriots who suffered
in defense of the principle of religious lib
erty.'
Those who promised to obey the laws and
so escaped impris are referred to rs
the foolish virgins who will not be ready to
get the bridegroom. The address deplores
the prejudice existing against the saints in
the minds of the people, and intimates that
the courts prosecute Them
The address has long arraignment of the
world, OF its wckedne, : and the abundance
of sin among all the people contrasting the
saints i'll favorable light with those who as
sail them and directing the people to be
faithful and true. 1t closes with an account
of the work done by the officers and mission
aries for the spread of the gospel, declaring
all IS going well "Notwith standing
all that we are now passing through,
our hearts are filled with joy
and peace. We can truly say 'Hosanna to
God in the Highest We know that Zion will
not be overthrown or made desolate Every
promise made concerning Zion by the AL
mighty will he fulfilled"

for months been hiding from The officers, who

REVOLT OF CONVICTS,
Twenty-Five Escaping Prisoners
Shot i'm TexaN

A dispatch from Rusk, Texas, says: eyes
terday, at the terminus of the Kansas and
Gulf Shore line, near Lufkin, in Angelina
county, Texas sixty convicts made desper-
ate break for liberty. The men were being
worked on the railroad. The revolt
occurred at o'clock, just as the
prisoners had finished their sup
per. With deafening yells they started
up in body and rushed for the neighborinc1
woods. The guards opened fire on the fleeing
convicts with deadly effect The latest re-
port says that twenty-five of the convicts
were killed or wounded. The prisoners ran
in one large body, and the guards simply
emptied their repeating rifles and
small arms into the moving
mass. Rumors of an intended mutiny in this
camp had been rife for some weeks. These
rumors were strengthened by the fact that
many of the convicts We're serving life
sentences and were known to be des-
perate characters. Extra precautions
were being taken to avoid any
uprising. Every means possible is being
used to recapture the thirty five convicts who
succeeded in GLIDING the rifles of the guards
All avenues of escape are being guarded and
posses are being organized to scour the coun-
try. The scene of the outbreak is some miles
from telegraph Office

Costs 100000 in Litigation.

celebrated lawsuit known as the Jones
County calf case" has been concluded in the
circuit court in Waterloo, Iowa. 1t was an
action brought by Robert johnson against
Z. V. Miller and six other defendants for
$4,000 for malicious prosecution.
Eleven years ago John Fore
man, of Jones county, Iowa, had
four calves stolen, and at about the same
time Robert johnson, nelghborinS farmer,
bought some calves from S. ID. Potter, of Green
county. These calves proved to be the ones
stolen from Foreman. Soon after this John
son was prosecuted by the Ant-Horse
Thief association OF Jones county for tho
theft of the calves He was tried twice
and acquitted, AMI in 1871 brought
suit against seven members of the associa-
ton for malicious prose 'ution, alleging that
they did not have sufficient cause for COM
mencing the action. The case has been be-
fore the courts ever since, and has been tried
five times, at different places, and each time
except one the plaintiff received Il verdict
running from $4,000 to $500, but each time
the verdict has been set aside
The last jury has just awarded s. 600. The
costs, attorneys fees AMI expenses entaied
upon all parties to the litigation growing out
of the theft of tho calves is estimated at
more than 100000, and several prosperous
farmers have been rendered bankrupt while
the calves in the first place were not worth
over $50
