A Celebrated Hinaoo A.troleg.r.

There is at present residing in Bonn
bay (remarks the Tines of India) a
native gentlemen who has made him
self famous in all parts Of the country
by his proficiency in astrology. His
name is Pundit Kasinath of Jhind, and
he brings with him three large boxes
filled with testimonials from Rajahs,
Nawabs, Lieutenant Governors, Com
missioners and Deputy Commissioners,
and others, and one from even the late
Shere Ali, Ameer of Afghanistan. All
the testimonials speak in high terms of
praise of the Pundit and while extoll-
ing his wonderful powers, they refer to
his corteous bearing and his refusal to
accept all presents One gentleman,
in testimonial rendered to the Pundit,
says: "Though cannct say ] believe in
such matters, he certainly told me one
fact which l should doubt his hearing
anywhere" Another testimonial,
signed by SO Europeans and natives,
says, "We thoroughly examined him,
and in spite of our strong prejudice
against any such knowledge and educa-
ton, we finally found out that to the best
Of our knowledge and experience in life,
he is the only astrologer worthy of
praise We put to him questions, and
he wrote them down before he spoke
them out. He can tell the present,
past and future of mans life by look
ing at his face merely"
Many journals, both native and
Anglo-Indian, have also referred to the
Pundit. He is known by the title Of
Jeotirbid- Rattan, j e., "the star of astro
Ilogy," and is temporarily residing al
Pydonie, in the building used as one
of the subdivisional telegraph offices
Hundreds of natives visit him daily
and it Is said that in no single instance
has he failed to give correct answer
to the questions put to him. Amongs
his visitors are some of the wealthies
and best educated natives in Bombay
and bearing in mind that astrology ha
SO much weight in Oriental politics anc
society, it is not surprising to see thu
native visitors approach with profound
and reverential awe one who is acknow
ledge by them to be most able ex
4 ponent of the art.
At an audience, one of our represent
atives was told to think of any flower
and minute afterwards he was tolt
} by the Pundit what flower he hat
chosen. Several such feats were per
formed, and many of those present il
the room we're told their past histor
with amazing accuracy. On his arriva
in Bombay Lord Ripon was presented
.Iby the Pundit with an Urdu aad Sans

The English Language.

The language in which Shakespeare
and Milton wrote was the language of
but five or six millions Of people in
their day, and as late as one hundred
years ago English was spoken by not
more than 15,ooo,ooo or 10000, 900
people. At the same period French
was the mother tongue Of at least
sc, 1000, 900, and German, in one or
other of its forms, was the language of
from $4,000, 900 to 100000 900 people.
This state of affairs is now completely
reversed. Between forty and fifty years
ago the English language equaled the
German in the number Of those who
spoke it. and now the latter is left far
behind in the race. German is spoken
by 10000, 900 persons in the Austria
Hungarian empire, 10000, 900 in the
German empire, 10000 in Belgium,
100000 in the United States and
Canada. This gives total of about
6o,ooo, 900 persons who may speak
German. With French the case is
much the same, but the gam during
the past century has been smaller than
that of German. French is now spoken
by the 38,ooo,ooo people of France,
by 2,25o, 900 In Belgium, 100000 in
Alsace-Lorraine, 600, 900 in Switzerland,
1900, 900 in Canada and the United
States, 100000 in Hayti, and by
1900, 900 in Algiers, India, and the
West Indies, and Africa; in all about
$4,000, 900. English is now spoken
by all but some 100000 OF the $4,000
900 persons in the British Islands, by
53,ooo,ooo out of the $4,000, 900 in
habitants Of the United States, by
1900, 900 persons in Canada, 5000
900 in Australasia, 1900, 700 persons
in the West Indies, and perhaps by
900, 900 in India and the other British
colonies. This brings up the total to
100, 100000, which cannot be very far
from the truths f. Ayg0naNt

Fifth--As AN ADVERTISING MEDIUM, the
DAILY HONOLULU PRESS possesses
unequaled advantages, having retained all the
subscribers TO the late Saturday Press, in
addition to a new subscription list, which is
daily increasing, so that the paper is not only
enjoying large circulation in this city and
vicinity, but is also mailed by every steamer to
subscribers at almost every landing on the
other Islands, ard also to foreign countries,
thus combining the advantages Of both daily
ind weekly editions. The coming month,
especially, our paper will have much larger
circulation than all the other daily papers
combined, as we intend sending specimen
copies to every resident on these Islands
who reads English.

young lady sat with her hands in her

delicacy in such matters for which the
male sex, and drummers in particular,
are noted, he managed to get one of
his hands into the muf along with
hers. "Sir i" she said, stifly, "what do

raE aovERNMEsrs -oUDJA.'

The political charm OF the Admins
tration party is fading away; the Gov
ernments 'oudja" has become inactive
and inaffective-poor old party, it is
almost dead In fact, if it had remain
ing strength to lift its political head in
meeting of its own getting up, we
would respect instead of plying it. 1t
is a sad thing to see the natives going
back steadily on the party which has
pretended to champion their cause, but
which has proven falsezfalse to every
promise and trust. The Government
plrty, feeling that it is weaker than ever
before, and especially in the capital city
of Honolulu, is now engaged in using
desperate means to save desperate
cause. If the Government party is losing
its hold in capital Honolulu, what will be
its chances on the other Islands and in the
outside districts OF Oahu, remote from
the central corruption and bribery fund,
partially acknowledged and partially
proven to be disbursed from the hands
of the Administration leaders in Homo
lulu7 The soldiers are kept in bar
racks away from the Opposition argu.
ments, but even they are dissatisfied on
a cardinal point, and many of them will
vote for Opposition candidates, il the
old " bulldozing game is not played
upon them. Only portion of the
police force will vote with the Govern
ment the knowledge Of this fact and
their inability to remedy it, makes the
Administration leaders doubly sore
over their party's weakness. The gen
ersl disafection which exists in the
ranks Of the Government party is not
based upon hearsay, but comes from
the lips of voters themselves. AS tar
as the mass of the native voters are
conccrned--shose voters who the pre-
sent Premier once declared ''were only
fit for slaves" they are so generally
disahected that the leaders OF the
Government party are becoming thor
oughly alarmed. Desperate means
we said we're being used-we should
have added--and dishonorahle means.
Wait but few days and the public
shall know more of the disreputable
Government methods. There is a
charming legend attached TO the politi-
cal "oudja," which declares that it will
always bring the wearer luck until he
has done certain number Of dishonor-
able things. The Government party's
political "oudja" has lost its charm, for
the mystic numbers has been reached.

THIS is FREE COUNTRY. The Boy
CoTT ATTACKS FREEDOM.
A NEEDED CHANG E.


The amendment to the rules which govern
the public schools of this city proposed by
Mr.. Bennett at the last meeting of the Board
of Education finds much approval, which, in
our opinion, it deserves. As affairs are ar
ranged now the executive officers of the
Board, consisting of secretary and super
intendent of schools, are elected for two
years, while the principals and teachers are
elected for one. Mr. Benefits amendment
provides for the changing of the rules SO that
the executive officers of the Board shall be
elected annually, as the principals and teach
ers are. We do not see how the slightest OBJ
lection can fairly be raised against this
change. It will tend to bring the control of
the schools more thoroughly into the hands
of the Board, where it belongs, and will be
productive of no hardship to the officers OF
the Board affected by it. The principals and
teachers have felt, and with reason, that
there was no good ground for making dis
tinction in the matter of election between
them and the executive officers of the Board
There is none. The proposed change will
hurt nobody, and if made may sometime bs
very useful. It ought to be made.

OLEOmARGARINE.

The war on oleomargarine is very vigorous
one, and thus far it has been decidedly sue
cessful. The bill dealing with the matter
which has passed the house is stringent
measure In it butter is defined to be food
product made exclusively from milk or
cream, with or without common salt and
with or without additional coloring matter.
Oleomargarine is defined as all substances
made of oleomargarine, ,oleo, ,oleomargarine oil,
butterine, lardine, suine and neutral; all
mixtures and compounds of oleomargarine,
oleo oleomargarine oil, hutterine, lardine,
suine and neutral; all lard extracts and tai
low extracts and all mixtures and compounds
of tallow, beef fat, suet, lard, lard oil, vege-
table oil, annotto and other coloring matter,
intestinal fat and offal fat made in imitation
or semblance of butter, or, when so made,
calculated or intended to be sold as butter or
for butter.
Special taxes are imposed by the bill as
follows: On manufacturers, 5000; on whole
sale dealers, $3.50; on retail dealers, $48.
The existing internal revenue laws. SO far as
applicable, are made to apply to cheese special
taxes. Penalties are imposed on any person
who shall deal in oleomargarine without pay
Ing the special tax. Provision Is made for
the proper stamping and labelling of every
package of oleomargarine A tax of five
cents pound is imposed on all oleom argar-
inc manufactured and sold and penalty is
prescribed for the purchase or reception for
sale of oleomargarine not branded or stamp
ed according to law.
It remains to be seen whether this bill will
pass the senate and the President. There
are strong and well founded objections to it.
One of these is that it places discriminating
tax upon an industry with the object of de-
stroying it. It may not be constitutional.
The subject is difficult one to deal with
and it is very hard to tell what the rights
and wrongs of it are. If the public could be
protected from fraud, if it could get butter
when it paid for it and oleomargarine when
oleomargarine was paid for there would not
be such trouble as there is. It is the frauds
which have been perpstrated that have arous-
ed the greater part of the hostility to oleo-
marparine
