TIE result Of the late election should
operate as warning to the voters who
stayed at home because they we're so
sure that Mr. Wilder would be elected.
4 comparison OF the figures with those
Of the previous election shows that Mr..
Kaulukou's zeal and good management
brought out almost the whole Of his adj
herents, while considerably more than
hall OF those who presumably would have
voted for Mr.. Wilder never took the
trouble to go to the polls. The result is
that his majority in the third precinct
was larger than his total majority in the
city and nearly equal to his total majority
in the entire Island. There are over
100 registered voters in Honolulu and
only about $50 votes cast, showing that
not much more than halfof those qualifi-
ed TO vote tor mobiles actually voted.
Mr.. Wilder's majority is a safe one, but
small in comparison with what it might
have been, and the result is warning TO
political indiferentism which should not
be disregarded.

The report of the Finance Committee
on the state funeral of Her late Royal
Highness Princess Likelike has been
printed, and contains a good deal OF
matter well calculated to vary the
monotony OF legislative life. The report
shows that the occasion was simply re-
garded by certain persons as an oppor-
tunity to fling money broadcast, without
any restraint from prudence or economy,
or from anything which decent fore
sight must inevitably have suggested.
The total expenditure was about twice
the average upon similar occasions. The
orders seem in general to have been
given by the King personally, accom-
panied in some cases by more or less
definite representation that the Govern
ment would assume them, or that the
Privy Council would pass resolution to
settle the bills.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1888-08-28

The Bulletin is in state OF great excite
ment because We said that Kauhane and
Kalsukoa were the only native members
who voted for the Leprosy bill. We
knew perfectly well that Richardson,
Mcguire and Daniels voted for the bill,
but We did not happen to think OF them
SIS natives. OF course the classification
is not important, but when it comes to a
question of accuracy, they may just as
properly be classed among foreigners as
natives. We believe the three gentle
men taken together derive just as much
blood from their fathers as from their
mothers, it may be presumed, and their
names are all foreign. Everyone knows
that in questions OF mixed nationality,
it is very natural to class according to
the name. 1t is more natural to class
according to the nationality OF the
fathers than OF the mothers The whole
question is unimportant, but if these
gentlemen think We intended to misre-
present them, OF course We regret it.

Mr.. ATKINSON informs US that class
of teachers has been started in Lahaina-
luna, which numbers twenty-ive-sev-
enteen teachers and eight aspirants.
The class is to last one month, from
August 9th to September 9th, is in
tended for Hawaiian teachers OF Eng
lish schools and is attended by some
teachers coming as far as from Puma,
Hawaii. The class is under the charge
of Mr.. Moore This is q great boon for
the cause OF education, and in every way
q most encouraging sign. There are q
number Of men here who are not merely
experienced teachers, but full Of an in
telligent interest in educational science.
1t is not too much to hope that the
schools of this country will be put on g
basis equal to that of the most favored
countries OF the world.

service law in the United States which
has the approval OF every man OF high
political standing in the United States.
As everyone knows, the cause OF good
government in that country depends on
hardly anything more than on the rigid
enforcement of that law and its extern
sion to branches OF the public service to
which it does not at present apply.
There may perhaps be reasons why law
OF the kind is a good thing for America,
and vet not a good thing for us, but it
does not at present appear what these
reasons are. Doubtless Mr.. Townsend's
bill was introduced rather late in the
session, but at least q reference OF 1t to
committee was due to the Importance of
the subject, and courtesy and fairness de-
manded it. If the committee had then
seen fit to commend postponement OF
consideration of the subject until the
next session OF the Legislature, well and
good. The strenuous opposition OF the
Minister of the Interior simply lays his
conduct and motives open to miscon-
struction, without any compromising adj
vantages. 1t looks as though he thought
the new law might necessitate some i'm
mediate removals in his own depart
ment. 1t would have been more decent
TO let the opposition TO the bill come
from some other quarter.

oldtime Encores.

The Polyneslan, in noticing a concert
for the benefit Of the Sailors Home in
1857, had the following hit: Know,
then, most honored gentlemen, that
when lady-and that an amateur-has
Just performed a rather long piece, taxing
her vocal powers to the utmost, that
taste may be questioned which keeps
stamping and clapping for the purpose
OF calling her out again, as though she
were stage actress, honored and en-
riched by your applause, instead OF hon
oring you by her muse. 1t is not neees-
sary for 81 audience to know the differ
ence between q stave Of music and a
white oak butt, yet there are little
touches of human kindness, to say tn e
least, which it Is ever well to remember. ,,
