Education in KOhala.

Mr.. EDITOR School affairs in this
cation just passed the Ainakea English
school house was extended and improved
50 that it now contains four recitation
rooms, the three in the main building
being connected by wide folding doors.
The term began with four good teach
ers, and it having been made a free
school by the late Legislature, parents
will have nothing more to complain OF
on that score.
It is we'll known that the Portuguese
do not appreciate the advantages that
are offered to their children in this
country, to obtain an education, and are
full of tricks and devices to get them out
before they are of age, preferring the few
dollars their children can earn in the
fields, to the more lasting benefits they
might derive from being educated.
What wonder, then, that with every
thing in fine order for the beginning of
the new term, the teachers and others
who are interested should have been dis
appointed at the start, by a run of up
ward of thirty applications for dismissal
to the Catholic school in Halawa!
This was said by certain of them, to
have been the result of work done by the
priest among the Portuguese between
terms the ground of argument used be-
ing, in effect, that these schools were
goddess.
Assuming the above reports to be true,
we have here the same process that has
been experienced in the United States:
First, an opposition to the use of the
Bible in the public schools, and then an
outcry that the schools are goddess! A
very asinine proceeding to say the least;
certainly very inconsistent, and savoring
somewhat OF villainy.
A reference to Hawaiian history will
show, think, that the Bible was bar
ished from the public schools on the ac-
cession of Mr.. A. Fernandez, Catholic,
to the Office OF School Inspector, some %
years ago, more or less.
With two large and well housed public
English schools in the district, besides
private ones, and all the school build
ings repaired-some of them the first
time in Is to 20 years-educationaI mat
ters appear in more hopeful condition
than they did Is months ago.

Answer to zone of the Fellows"

Mr.. EDITOR; The letter from zone of
the Fellows" published in your issue of
July oath, could scarcely fail to draw
some attention. He introduces a sub
ject so broad and so deep, that to fully
answer it would be a task to even an
able writer. Many such writer's and
workers are daily trying to solve the
problem by so convincing young men of
what should be their mode of life, for
their own temporal and future happi-
ness, that they shall live up to their
convictions.
Such work is at best an uphill work,
and for every one who is practically
convinced and turns back to give thanks
for the efforts made in his behalf, it is
probably safe to say there are nine who
resent what they regard as an inter
ference, prefer to go on their own way,
avoiding the staid society of the marrow
and bigoted pietists" with their churches,
etc., and do their wailing afterward.
"Why is it?" quotes zone of the Eel
lows, "-"there seems to be so many young
men outcasts socially here, and fellows,
too, that wOnld shine in society any
whereof" Well, why is it?
Setting aside the fact that the continu-
ously increasing number of strangers
arriving at these shores makes it impos-'
sible for those who have homes of their
own to meet all strangers who come,
owing to che excessive demands such
custom would make on the privacies of
home life, has not experience also taught
residents to be more cautious in offering
their Inequalities?
Is it not also true that man deter
mines his position in society or out OF it,
by his own conduct and habit of life,
and therefore by his own choice, and
that, as rule, young men here do deter
mine their own level? Whatever NAV be
said of the lack of society in the country
district, TO choose from, those who cast
their lot there for the time being, would
certainly show better sense, and better
establish their right to place in society,
if they would but help to build up the
better part of such as they find, instead
of joining themselves with the immoral
and dissolute.
After questioning whether it is ga
safe policy to pursue" the marrow
policy" ''of the good old missionary
fathers" who teach incidentally, by the
way, that birds of feather flock to-
gether, and man is known by the
company he keeps, Gin the face of the
present advanced civilization" "a gentle
intimation that it would be better to

This is all very good, but it is claimed
by the cattle men that false entries are
made. Most of the thieves have few
cattle of their own, the entry is made as
of one Of these. If, however, the butcher
was compelled to keep the hide with the
ears, say for three days, which could
easily be done, the evidence against the
thief would be too strong for him to dare
to take the risk. 1t is pity that some
such amendment to the law was not
passed during the last Legislature.
To show how daring are the thieves
and how successfully they can carry on
their infamous traffic, We have reports
of one ranch losing thirteen animals in
three months, and another losing be-
tween forty and fifty during the present
year. Cattle thieves are extremely hard
to catch in the act, and certainly the
ranch owners should not have all the
burden of tracing them out and pounc-
ing upon them, especially as the rancher
is a large taxpayer. He should have
the assistance OF the police whom he
pays to support, but this is section Of
the subject We will reserve for future

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1888

In IT'S anxiety to make point against
the Government in the matter of giving
out contracts, the Bulletin in its issue of
Saturday last puts forward an assump-
ton of incompetence on the part of the
Bureau of Public Works without any evil
dence whatever to sustain it. The rule
adopted by the Interior Department in
such matters is well understood by in
tending contractors, and while affording
reasonable protection to the public inter
ests, it is calculated to work no injustice
to anyone. Although this rule has been
publicly stated, 1t may not be under
stood by all our readers. We venture
therefore to repeat it. When any public
work is proposed to be let out by con-
tract, an estimate of the probable cost is
first made by the Bureau of Public
Works. Tenders are then advertised
for, the advertisement containing the
proviso usual in such cases that the Min
lister does not bind himself to accept the
lowest or any bid. If the figures of the
lowest responsible bidder show reason
able approximation to the Governments
own estimates, the contract is awarded &C
cordingly. If the lowest bid is markedly
in excess of those estimates the bids are
all rejected and the Minister decides to
either have the work done directly by
the Government or advertises for new
set of tenders as he may deem best. The
system above outlined seems to us en-
tirely fair and business like. We fail to
see, and the Bulletin omits to point out
any way in which it could be materially
improved. The above named journal
believes in public work being done by
contract, it believes in public advertise
ment for tenders, and processes to con-
slider the clause empowering the Minis
ter to reject all bids as proper precau-

Adding by Machinery.

Colonel S. E. Austin, formerly of our
town, has been busily engaged for several
years in perfecting his very ingenious in
vention-the adding machine He is at
present in New Haven, Conn, where he
has been watching the manufacture Of
the machine, and has at last got it in
perfect shape, and is selling it rapidly to
the trade. We have seen one OF the in
struments and find that it works with
great ease, rapidity and accuracy. By
touching the keys you may rapidly add
up long column Of figures without any
mental strain. a dial registers the sum
OF the figures, after you have touched the
keys correctly, each figure from one to
nine having its own key. A little prac
tice makes one perfect, so that he can
add with his fingers, by the use of the
machine, much more rapidly and with
more accuracy than by the laborious
mental process. 1t will save many
book-keeper hours of severe mental
labor.-[For Valley (Ga.) Mirror.

ton in view of the possibility OF collision
among bidders resulting in the bids being
all of an unreasonable or extortionate
character. What then is wrong? 1t evil
IDENTIFY is and can be only one thing, viz ::
that the Government has estimates made
by its own officers, who are supposed to
be experts in such matters, and uses
such estimates as a standard for judging
Of the reasonableness Of the tenders
made by outside parties. 1t being adj
mitted that combinations among bidders
resulting in extravagant bids are posi-
BILE, and it being admitted further that
the discretion reserved by the Minister
of rejecting all bids is, under the circum-
stances, fair and reasonable one, we
would like our critic to tell US how and
by what standard the reasonableness OF
the bids is to be judged, and on what
figures such judgment Is to be based, II
not upon those prepared for the purpose
bv the Superintendent of Public Works
or his subordinates. The present sys-
tenn is undeniably correct in theory; 1t
vet remains to be demonstrated that it
will not be entirely satisfactory in prac-
tice. Two things, and two only, can
cause it to fail, viz: First-cOrrupt collu-
sion between the officials and intending
contractors, and Second-grOss incOm-
petence or carelessness in the Bureau Of
Public Works. The first of these is not
charged, but the second, if not positively
asserted, is directly intimated by line
of argument which admits OF no other
conclusion. Boiled down, the case
amounts to this if Messrs. ROwell and
Lawrence are too ignorant, too lazy or
too dishonest to make an estimate OF the
probable cost OF matchmaking street,
building a bridge or erecting a lookup,
which shall be even approximately cor
rect, the Bulletins criticism is good,
otherwise it is good for nothing. Before
accepting the theory that the gentlemen
in question are incapable of performing
the duties pertaining to their position
reasonable people will require something
in the way of evidence; something defin-
lite, specific and to the point. Such evil
dence is not forthcoming, and in place Of
IL we have such cheap filings and insinua-
tons as the following, 1.-The estimates of
practical and experienced men are ac-
copied by common-sense people before
those of impractical and inexperienced
figurers, who are simply familiar with
such things on paper" Our contem-
porary having disposed of Messrs. RoweH
and Lawrence as Impractical and mex
perienced figurers" cannot in common
fairness do less than furnish us with the
names OF those practical and expert
enced men" whose estimates are SO
much more reliable. Trot out the Bulle-
tin experts.

WE PRESUME that very few people in
Honolulu have an idea that systematic
cattle thieving is carried on in these
islands. Yet it is fact and the ranch
owners suffer considerable loss by the
deeds of depreciation of these rascals. To
deal with such men in the western part
of the United States is a very simple
matter: it is either settled by means of
rope and the bough of a convenient tree
or by the swift and thoroughly effectual
method of rife bullet. But such sum-
mary methods are not favOrably looked
upon in this enlightened little Kingdom
and the rancher has to do the best he
can by proper legal means. 1t is not
only the large rancher that suffers. The
native who owns from six to dozen
cattle gets a cow occasionally carried off.
If the cattle litter is found out by the
small man, he can always square" him
by paying the cost of the animal. OF
course this is compromising felony, but
the cattle man cannot afford to throw
away the chance of recovering the value
of his beast; his purse is not large
enough to sacrifice coin for the sake of
public advantage or public morality and
so, as far as he is concerned, the cattle
thief has merry time of it.
But what does the cattle thief do with
the animal stolen? He used to jerk the
beef or else dip it in brine and then he
would calmly peddle the article all over
the district and no one would say him
nay. On this line, however, the present
Legislature has made an attempt to put
a stop to this by amending section l of
chapter IL of the Session Laws of 1882.
That reads: "The Minister of Interior
may at any time license, for the term of
one year, any applicant to slaughter and
sell beef either in (and here follow
number of places on the various islands),
upon receiving for such license the sum
of twenty dollars; provided, however,
that this section shall not apply to sailed
or corned beef brought from other parts
of the Kingdom" Mr.. Maguire's bill
amends the above law by striking out
the words from provided" to the end of
the section. By the way, this is another
law for the benefit of the country dis
tricts. The Bulletin wanted a few more
the other day. Gradually we shall
point them out. The above law will put
a stop to the wholesale peddling of beef
along the roads and from house to house.
But it is not only by this means the
cattle thieves get rid of their beef. There
are in many places Chinese butchers
who are quite willing to take beast at
low price and ask no questions. The
law has stepped in on this question and
has given the producer of beef some
protection, but we will show how it is
evaded aud also propose a proper
remedy.
The law says-Compiled Laws, section
93-that upon granting a license to
slaughter and sell beef, the Minister of
Interior
Shall exact of the applicant bond in a
penal sum of two hundred dollars with
good and sufficient surety, to be approved
by said Minister, conditioned that such
