ball, making all the most brilliant plays.
Lands, pitcher for San Antonio, fooled

himself with pitching his down curve

boys amazingly. The features OF the
game was Whistler on first and Flynn

Whistler made beautiful one
hand catch, which he had to
jump for on wild throw from
short stop, and then touched
the base runner out as he lit on the
ground. Flynn got hot liner straight
to third, with all the bases full. He
caught 1t, tried to touch the home
runner out, and threw 1t to first In time
to make a double play, putting two men
out. Works Ia a great fsvorite with the
crowd. Flynn and Whistler became SO

audience, which, though small, was
very sppreciative. The following is the

Pacific Commercial Advertiser.
Be just and fear not:
Let all the ends thou aim st at be
Thy Country's, thy Gods, and Truths.
THURSDAY, sEPTEMBE s27, 1888

The Board of Education has issued a
Course of Study for Hawaiian Schools.
We understand that the work has been
done conformity by the Inspector-General
of Schools and Mr.. M NJ. Scott, principal
of Fort Street School. From this course
we learn that the Board proposes to di-
vide the school life of child into three
periods. viz: Primary, Grammar, and
High School. The first two occupy four
years each, the concluding division three
years. AS far as we can Judge, and we
have not the practical experience of
the gentlemen above-named, the course
aims to be thoroughly practical and is
stripped of that verbiage which is to be
found in SO many of the education plans
of dozen years ago. Especial pains
seem to have been taken to impress
upon the teachers using the course that
English is to be thoroughly taught.
This is in consonance with the remarks
of the Inspector General delivered at the
teachers convention in April last. We
thoroughly agree with this view. If any
thing is to be done to weld together the
mixed population and bring it in time
into one harmonious whole, it must be
by uniting upon the platform of common
speech, and the only means of getting
that harmony is to commence in the
earliest years of the free school. Another
feature of the Course is that up to the
end of the eighth year, when the largest
number of children will leave school, the
number of text books ordered is very
small. In the primary course, period
of four years, only five books are re-
Quired, viz. four readers and geog-
raphy. The bulk of the teaching is to !
be mainly oral. This requires more
skill and experience than many Of the |
teachers in Hawaiian schools usually |
have, and it seems to us that the Board |
will have to improve the quality of the |
material they employ. That of course is |
to be looked for, and indeed a consider |
able effort has been made by establish |
ing teachers classes and by holding ex- |
But what is needed is a /
good Normal School where Hawaiian |
teachers can be trained for the special |
work required. The Course is expert
mental ,and corrections or additions may
be made as experience in the future sug
gests. The Board by this show that
they intend to I've progressive.

Revolution in Havti.

ii, says that the revolution has been sue
cessful. and that the Government has
been overthrown. The President has
taken refuge on an English frigate for
Europe. Booiron has formed a govern
ment. The trouble is supposed to have
had its origin in an epidemic of Chagres
fever which had ravaged the town. In
consequence of this epidemic all the
fed from the city, and thus left a free
field for pillage, of which the lawless
and revolutionary element promptly
awaited ITSELF There was no efficient

The Chinaman as a Citizen.


Mr.. EDITOR: In your paper of the
25th inst, I have seen letter from Hilo
on the Immigration Question signed by
J. A NJ. When this writer desires no
more than to send your readers the Cos
sip of Hilo ice-cream parties, it is all very
well for him to hide himself under such
signature, but when he undertakes to
enlighten the public as to the ways and
manners of his fellow subjects it would
be better if he would sign his name so
that people can judge from it how much
faith to put in what he has to say.
He tells us great deal about the way
in which the Japanese and Portuguese
spend their earnings but says that all
the Chinaman seems to think OF is to get
money and get back to China" Now in
proportion to the numbers of them in
the country there are fewer Cinnamon
go away than white men, and of these
very few working men even come back,
whilst great numbers of Cinnamon re-
turn and often bring more wealth with
them than they took away. AS for the
Japanese, they are all bound to go away
again, and their Government makes
them hand over to it one quarter of their
earnings which is carefully sent away to
their own country as a sort of guarantee
that they will go back to their old homes.
And whose going away has been more
talked about for two or three years past
than the Portuguese who have carried
of their earnings to California?
AS to the fondness of spending their
money here which j. A. NJ. attributes to
the Portuguese, [ do not believe in it. l
have seen lots of their cOuntrymen in
Macao, which used to be one of the most
of the possessions of the
King of Portugal, and [ know that
they mostly live on sailed shrimps and
water green's. They also buy some cheap
flour which they mix with water and
then fry the mixture like hot cakes are
cooked. j. y. NJ. says of them that
they are fond of drinking wine and
riding horses. | should advise him to
go and look at the tax assessors books,
and see how much of the tax on horses |
the Portuguese in his neighborhOod paw.
Or let him ask the Collector of Customs |
how much duty on liquors and wines is |
paid by these people. The Chinese Gov
eminent has been only too kind to these |
people IN giving them the capital posi- !
lion OF Macao to live in free, but every |
year from it's own subjects in that place |
5he Government of Portugal gathers in |
1900, 900 of taxes. J. A. M. says Chi |
1ese only eat rice and pork-well pork |
costs eighteen cents pound and the
beef only costs eight cents.
1t would be good thing if this ques-
ion of who spend their money most
RELY in these islands could be properly
gone into and the truth made plain. [
nave seen many a white man make
neal here of two pieces of bread with
'ut any butter.
For my part [ say, let people compare
he Chinese with other people all they
want to-only let them stick to fact.

His Excellency Leu Ia Jen, the
Chinese Ambassador in London. is an
Prehensive that the British invasion of
Thibet will lead to the annexation of
Thibetan territory, and thus bring the
British close to the Chinese frontier
Having expressed himself to this effect
in note to the Secretary of State for
Foreign Affairs, the Marquis of Salisbury
has replied that the British operations
on Thibet will be confined to expelling
the Thibetans from Sikkim. But the
Chinese Minister does not appear to be
satisfied with this explanation. It is
thought that the objection urged by the
Chinese Minister is merely diplomatic
move to enable China to strengthen her
position i'm dealing with England on the
question of Chinese emigration to Aus
tralasia.

International Y. M. c. A. Convention.
The eleventh conference of the Young
Mems Christian Associations of the
world has been held at Stockholm,
Sweden. Four hundred delegates were
in attendance, of whom two hundred
were English-speaking, and some sixty
were from America. The Association in
the past four years has grown largely in
Germany, Switzerland, Holland, Nor
way, and Sweden, and now the work in
France is making rapid progress. The
American report showed that the value
OF association property has increased
since 1884 from about 100000 to ST.
100000, and the number of secretaries
from less than 400 to nearly 800.

One of the most important measures
passed at the late session of the Legisla-
ture was the making of the English
schools of the Kingdom free. For years
there has been singular anomaly in
school matters in this country. The
original idea was that there should be
free education for all. So there was as
long as Hawaiians only had to be edu-
Gated. The common" or native schools
have always been free. The Hawaiian,
however, began to see the advantage of
learning English and it became the habit
to establish English schools wherever
the population demanded them, on con-
dition that those attending them should
pay small fee, s. year. In this way
English schools gradually began to
spread all over the country till the re-
port of the President of the Board of
Education for 1888 shows a total of
$500 native Hawaiian children attend
ing school, over "a per cent in English
schools. But while this might be all
right from the point of view of the Haw
allan, it was not SO from the point of
view of all the other nationalities
which have aocked in during the
past ten or fifteen years. The Haw-
allan, unless he chose to elect
English, had free education in his own
language. The foreigner found a COM
pulsory education law but could not
obtain free education, for the only edu-
cation, that would be of any avail to
him, was in English and that was
charged for. Now S. year may seem a
small sum, but q laborer getting 500
month and having three children to
send to school had to put up SIS, which
is no small item.
Undoubtedly this had great effect in
keeping children of poor parents out of
school. An ignorant laboring class do
not readily see the advantages of educa-
ton and they do see the natural advan-
tages of a few reals earned by their
children. When the people had to
lose the services of their children
and had to pay a fee to boot it
is no wonder that they did all in
their power to evade the school law. 1t
is notorious that in spite of all efforts a
large number of children have been kept
out of school.
Referring to President Bishops report
we see that at least 100 Portuguese chill
dren in the district of Hama have not
been attending school and in answer to
enquiry made to the Inspector General
Mr.. A. T. Atkinson, we learn that Hama
ls not an isolated case. Mr.. Canavarro,
ahe Portuguese Commissioner, also in
forms US that there has been much |
trouble with his countrymen over the |
Did school law and that some have even |
eft the country on account of it.
But this is all changed now and it will |
De very interesting to see what effect the
lew law will have. The cause of COM
olaint, just one, has been removed.
Now will those parents, whom we have
'een discussing, send their children
noEe readily than in the pastP If they
