The Oahu Hallway.

Mn. EDITOR: Apart from having
been a rival for the franchise of this
scheme confess to having shared
with many others the doubt as to
whether the capitalists of this coun-
try would. even when stimulated by
so energetic a promoter as Mr.. Dill
bingham, Of themselves float the com
pany.
Now that we hear on all hands of
the railroad as fixed fact, and ten
ders are invited for grading, l wish
to offer both personally and on be-
half of the gentlemen with whom |
am associated in the tramway, hearty
congratulations to the new under
taking which 1 feel persuaded will
be of great and lasting benefit to the
place and people.
The names of the offce-bearers will
be sufficient guarantee to all who
know them, to supply the lack of de-
tail in the prospectus, and if the
money is all to come from this side
the promoters need hardly expect to
encounter criticism until the time
for dividends approaches.
1t Is to be hoped, however, that
the Oahu Railway stock will some
day or other find Its way like so
many American roads to high quo
tation on the London market. 1t
will be of great service to Hawaiian
credit and an answer to the many
false statements which have been
made in San Francisco newspapers,
bv proving that the people here have
sufficient faith in the future of Ha-
wall to carry through railroad into
a new district on their own shoulders.
The recent articles on the'subject
both In your columns and IN the Bull
letin have shown how great an i'm
petus has been given to the Oahu
Railway by the phenomenal success
OF the tramway We may live to see
the stock of both these undertakings
exceed in value the most sanguine
estimate.
When Hawaii is the focus of
an oceanic trade rivailing that of the
Atlantic; and Honolulu or Eva the
queen city of the Pacific, perhaps
some of those who have taken their
capital to California may regret that
they had not invested it nearer
home.
The present time is undoubtedly
a critical one for the Islands, one of
those times when the timid drop |
money and the firm and bold make a !
great deal.
Sugar prospects are cloudy and {
other Industries struggling into an
infantile existence, but Hawaii can {
not lose her soil, her climate and her I
maritime position; what she perhaps .
most needs at the present time is
sufficient faith In her own capablll-
hes as to impress foreign capitalists
with the same belief.
The liberal and progressive spirit
which was displayed in the last leg
stature towards strictly local enter
prise. and the disposition towards
substituting anything in the way of
agricultural development, proves that
he authorities are alive to the situa
ion. and we must hope that the
Pearl River railroad will be
of local financial talent and
# disinterested but remunerative

strange mysteries into which We

When about fifteen 1 began the study
of algebra and grammar, and i recall
what trouble | had to get the books.
My father was a fairly prosperous
farmer, but did not hold very liberal
ideas on the subject of education. He
thought reading, writing and arith-
metic enough for his boys, and it
proved enough for all but me; wanted
an algebra. This was a new-fangled
notion that father did not approve of.
He had never before heard of such a
study. and refused to get the book.
One Saturday when / was going to the
VILLAGE on some errand / labored with

to allow me 10 buy an algebra. But
he sternly refused and | started of

During the storm last Saturday
evening nineteen head of cattle be-

As the weather becomes warmer
vermin will appear in increased num-

1t takes about three years for ths

Baby Bunting.

One of the most interesting of tariff
infants Is Baby Bunting That in
trepid soldier and unselfish patriot.
old Ben Butler, made fortune out of
protected bunting, and the country
had the giory Of paying the bill. But
all ungrateful Congress in 1888 reduced
the tariff to 10 cents per square yard
and 50 per cent al yalorem-a square
cut into Ben's profits of ten cents per
yard. True. the reduction was not
large enough to permit the profitable
importation of bunting, but it showed
preverse disposition to lessen the
income Of heroic soldier, and to
cheaper the flag. AS If this thing
had to be done as punishment for
Gen. Butler because he was training
in the ranks of the MASSACHUSETTS
Democracy, the Republican Senate,
now that he has recanted his Democ-
racy, has magnanimously forgiven
him and proposes to again increase the
duty on bunting to IL cents per yard
and 40 per cent ad valorem. The Penn
sylvania Legislature, probably as
part of the same generous scheme, has
under consideration bill to increase
by putting flags on all
the schoolhouses In the state. 1t will
be perceived that, if it take the shirt
off the back of the taxpayer, a CRATE
fnl country insists upon making Ben
Butler comforts BILE in his declining
years-so long as he shall continue 10
vote the Republican ticket.-Phila-
