THE LEGISLATURE.
122ND DAY.-Continued.
AFTERNOON SESSION.

House resumed at :58.
Rep. Kaunamano maved that the
bill before the house previous to re-
cess, pass.
Minister Dare said that if there
was any measure that gave him
pleasure to join in supporting, it
was to make the lower schools free.
He believed it to be an important
step in the right direction, and
should be followed by declaring all
schools free. He believed in the
benefits from education, and favored
free schools and a compulsory
school law. He believed the true
policy of every nation was to in
crease its population, but this tax
was barrier to the increase of pop
ulation. Poor people would not
raise families, when every child born
was an additional burthen on the
hard worked father. He believed
the Hawaiian Government would be
benefited in twenty years if they ex-
empted every man from taxes who
raised family of three children.
Every European who came to Ha-
waii should have an assurance that
his family would be educated free.
He thought the expense would be
lessened if the classes in the schools
consisted of so or 60 scholars, in
stead of 20 or 30, as was the case
in this country. 1t was fallacy to
suppose that child would receive
better instruction with only a few
in class. Teachers were all alike,
the less number of pupils they have
the less they want. Teachers would
do better with class that kept
them pretty busy during school
hours, than small class that only
kept them occupied part of the time,
so that they find time for novel.read-
ing. Teachers are like office holders,
the less they get to do, the less
they want to do. More teachers

WAR PROSPECTS.

The prospects of peace in Europe
are not improved. Premier TIA
has made a bold speech in the
Austro-Hungarian Parliament, in
which he stated that Austro-Hun-
gary intended to prevent any single
power from establishing anything
like a protectorate over Bulgaria.
Said he, "Austro-Hungary firmly
adheres to the Berlin treaty, which,
while it upholds, sufficiently cores
ponds with Austro-Hungary's inter-
ests." Herr Tiza's declaration was
received with great enthusiasm.
The London Standard, commenting
on the speech says, ''the cards of at
least one European power are on the
table, and are found to suit admir-
ably the honest game of English
foreign policy which the Govern
ment has resolved to play" Among
the latest utterances from Europe is
the statement that, "unless Russia
backs down it is difficult to see how
a collision is to be avoided. Nobody
believes Russia will back down. AT
Pesth the general impression is that
Russia will force matters to an issue
at once" Next mail may bring
news of war declared or peace as,
sured. 1t is hard to predict which

reached in the hall was " assump-
ton" The latter is so very fexi-
BILE, and readily adapts itself to all
the varying circumstances of life.
No one understands this better in
theory, or is more familiar with it
in practice, than our esteemed
neiehbor, therefore further elucida-
ton is not a all necessary for his
special enlightenment.

We cannot eat hurricane nor get
fat on typhoons. These things are
profitable unto sailors, but unto us
they avail nothing" And they
lifted up their voices in a dismal
howl enough to make the noble army
and navy bolt without their neither
garments.
And Immediately the wind and
the sea arose, or, as one learned
man said, it came on to blow great
guns. And they were sore afraid,
and knew not what to do; and, be-
hold, their sails were rent, and some
of their sticks went over the side,
and great wave washed away the
new captain into the lee scuppers,
and they were sore perplexed.
Then there arose one of the crew
and said, "Let us put tax on the
people" And it was done. And
the rest of the crew were much
pleased, and gloritied him exceed
ingly, and sent him up on the fore
yard to look out for fair wind, and
the people went down murmuring.
And the sailing master lifted up his
voice and said. "Friends, it bloweth
hard. Let us take reef in the
sheet anchor, or peradventure, we
should we make more leeway if we
amoved the masts, and made all
snug until the wind subsidies.
And they did so, for the masts were
constitutional, and therefore useless,
and the soldiers cut them away.
And while they spake, the men,
ber for Wet Swabs, who was doing
duty on the iigurehead, cried out
with loud voice, "Breakers ahead,
and sharks in all directions!" And
Immediately the vessel of State
went broadside on upon the great
Reef of National Insolvency, and
turned bottom up, becoming mis-
erable wreck.
And it came to pass there was a
certain protane person smoking his
pipe and taking things easy, with
mirth and mimicry, who observed
with sarcastic grin, Clearly be-
loved, this is a pleasant voyage
and first-rate navigation. Ioul
skipper handles his ship as COW
handles n musket. We have reached
our destination under prosperous
circumstances, and we shall lant
without impediment. Between med
ding, tomfoolery, and vacillation
we have managed to knock the bot
tom out of the ship, and shall hav'
to 90 ashore upon grating like :
horse marine on hen-coop."
And it came to pass they all man
aged to get out of the ship, and th'
marshal entertained them with mucl
courtesy.
This is a wise parable. Thes'
people were expert fellows on th'
ocean of Responsible Government
They picked up their knecledg
: dirt cheap, or, rs we say, in tn
5 cutters. But they bought their ca
e perience at price which ruined tn

TRUTH AND ASSUMPTION.

Like our amiable morning con-
temporary, the p. q. A0Uertiser,
Z" above all things, we desire to live
amicably with all men," and regret
that Z" it is our misfortune to differ
from our contemporary on many
points of public policy But
however anxious we may be to
compromise opinions for the sake
of peace and harmony, and to meet
the peculiar idiosyncrases of our
neighbor, something is due to the
requirements of reason and common
sense as one passes along the high
way of life. 1t therefore comes to
pass that we are sometimes in anita
gonism to the views propounded by
our journalistic friend. We are
guided by reason and common
sense: he is usually impelled by
impulse. Truth is inhexible; as
sumption which stands for truth
and fact with great many people,
otherwise veracious is flexible at all
times, and adopts itself to varying
circumstances and conditions. -
For instance, man who earns his
bread by hard work and can get
barely enough to fill the mouths of
those dependent on him, assumes
that his taxes are high enough; but
when suddenly lifted into lucra-
tive government position, there to
get his bread, with cake and pie
thrown in, at the expense of tax
payers, he Immediately assumes
that taxes should be raised notch
higher. The truth has not been
altered, but assumption is flexible,
and adapts itself to altered circum-
stances. Again, man in his
senses perches himself on the top of
Kamehameha monument in front of
Government House, and views with
calm dignity the proceedings inside
the Legislative Hall. He gets the
impression that wooden heads and
extravaganza prevail. He changes
position, goes inside, is received
with open arms, the fatted calf is
killed, he is covered over with gold
lace, gets big title, is thrust into
position that he never saw before,
with lots of nice things attached to
it. He is completely bewildered.
His head gets all turned upside
down, he dances around like a
maniac, plays all kinds of monkey
capers, and creates the belief in
dispassionate spectators that the
poor fellow is " clean gone.
/" What fool was L." is his first
exclamation, these are the clearest-
headed people in the world. What
ever they do cannot be wrong"
Now, it is " due to the requirements
of reason and common sense as one
passes along the highway of life,"
to believe that the impression re-
ceived on the monument was
I" TRUTH" and that the conclusion

ALEX ANDRIA.
FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 10.

Mr.. HEDDEN, staunch and true demo-
crat, who has just been removed from the
position of collector of customs at the port
of New York, says that when he went into
the customs house he found 1t filled with re-.
publicans, some of whom were incompetent
and others careless or worse 10 the discharge
of their duties, but who had been retained
solely for political reasons. In obedience
TO The popular vote which brought in DEM
ocralic administration, he deemed it his
duty 10 ill their places with democrats.
Now how democratic administration could
have found in such action on MIR. Hedden's
part sufficient cause for removing him is
difficult, not only for democrat, but for any
fair minded republican to understand. Mr..
Cleveland went into Office with the express
ed desire of strengthening The national
democratic party, and obtaining for its Pres
idential nominee in 'S8 the votes of more
States than its nominee received in 'S4. II

course he has pursued from the time he en-

COMMUNICATED
THE CONGRESSIONAL NOMINEE.

The Alexandria Convention, after three
days session, adjourned until the 18th of
August. Why this unusual procedure is a
question that every democrat is bordering
over. The people are eagerly searching for
all the facts to the minutest particulars and
are rapidly coming to their conclusions.
The following seems to he fair statement
of what was developed by its proceedings
That Gen. Lee was the choice of the MAORI
ty of the convention, but the majority fell
short of two thirds OF the whole that The
minority was divided between Meredith, of
Prince William, Foster, of Loudoun end
Hume, of Alexandria, and in addition to
these candidates, there were indications
that pointed to the conclusion that the dele
gates of two counties were controlled by
dark horses from those counties. IF such
was the case the minority was divided into
five instead of three parts and that the
friends of THESE various candidates combined
together to defeat the will of the mpjority.
What results may be anticipated from the
re-assembling of the convention on the 25.h
inst?
Towards the close Of The proceedings, af.
ter it had become evident that Lee was the
choice of decided majority, the name of
Hume was withdrawn by his request. ap-
parently because he was governed by fealiy
to party, patriotism and a true sense of
right, rather than by selfish ambition, and
would not suffer his name to be mixed up in
an unseemly strife. When, therefore, the
convention reassembles, there will be in the
field two acknowledged candidates and, az
many believe, two dark horses, in opposition
to Gen. Lee-Lee having large majority
of the whole, but little short of two.thirds
If the small minority thus composed con-
tuue their obstruction to the will of the ma
jority they will be stamped as preferring
personal relations, local ties or selfish ambi
ton above party and the common veal, and.
therefore, not true representatives of The
democratic party of the district. Should
they 80 act the embarrassment that will re.
suit will teach the people lesson that thew
will not soon forget, and awaken in them
I he spirit of 'S3, when they brushed away
all issues and factions. FARMER
