The Oceanic Mail Service.

The Postmaster General of New
South Wales has given notice in the
Legislative Assembly of resolution
approving Of the extension of the
San Francisco mail service for
twelve months from November next,
and it is proposed that New South
Wales shall be solely responsible for
the payment of the subsidy, which
is fixed at G33, 500 instead of 937 900
as previously. In the event of the
New Zealand Government contri5ut-
ing, by subsidy or postage, anything
in excess of $4,000, such excess to
the extent of 1880 is to be paid to
the Union Steamship Company of
New Zealand, the contractors also
receiving one-third of any contribu-
tions by the United States Govern
ment. All hostages by the other
colonies are to be retained by the
New South Wales Government, sub
ject to the adjustment of the share
thereof with the New Zealand Go
vernment, should the latter again
become party to the contract. The
spirit of the existing contract as to
the vessels employed is to be adhered
to, and only European crews are to
be employed. The length of the
passage is fixed at 600 hours or
twenty five days, as at present.-N.

HON. ALEXANDER YOUNG.
What he is Credited With, and How he
was Received in Louisiana.

What he is Credited With, and How he
was Received in Louisiana.
The following sketch, from the Louis
lana Planter, of Hon. Alex Young's
recent visit to the State of Louisiana,
will doubtless be read with interest:
This distinguished gentleman, known
to our readers by his valuable letters to
the Planter, in which he recounted the
singularly excellent sugarhouse work by
means of which he obtained 289 pounds
of sugar per ton of cane on his Waiakea
plantation, Sandwich Islands; and in
ventor of that most excellent device,
Youns's Vacuum Cleaning Pan, which
we feel sure will soon be adopted in
louisiana; and inventor of Young's
Automatic Bagasse Feeder, which seems
to be the best, and in fact the only salts
factory means of feeding bagasse to a
second mill and inventor of Young's
Superheater for regeneration of exhaust
steam with the waste heat of the Chin
ney-thereby doubling its value for
evaporating purposes without a cent of
cost: principal owner and manager of
the Honolulu Iron Works, which has
made the machinery that has been the
most successful in sugar manufacture in
the Sandwich Islands. This gentleman,
who stands so prominently in sugar
circles, is now visiting Louisiana. and
has honored the Planter with call, and
proposes remaining in Louisiana several
days yet to see what can be learned from
us that may benefit his people at home
Mr.. Young is an active, earnest student
of the sugar industry, if man who
knows all that can be known about
sugar and sugar machinery can still be
called sugar student. We had rather
call him leader and 60 to him to learn
how they have obtained their splendid
results in Hawaii.
With sort of Yankee independence
and located in distant land, Mr.. Young
and his coadjutors have cut loose from
traditions and have adapted their ma
chinery to the exigencies of their island
industry, and have developed their
factories so that they turn out from
twenty to fifty tons of sugar per day of
twelve hours, and obtain high yield
per ton, reaching at Waiakea the enor-
nous figure of $50 pounds per ton.
We in Louisiana, with our sugar in
dustry century old and much of our
machinery aged half century, are
slower to throw off old methods and to
take on new.
We seem to be coming to the new now
pretty rapidly, and we cannot we'll slim
ulate ourselves in the direction of better
work more than learning from Mr..
Young what he and his people have
done in the Sandwich Islands.
If Mr.. Young can learn anything from
us he is welcome to it, and it would be
pleasant to us to be able to aid so excel
lent man and so admirable a gentle
man, and our fear is that he will not
find US so far advanced in sugar manu-
facture as we should be-"

Hawaiian Church Membership
Mr.. EDITOR: Since my return to
Honolulu, my attention has been
called to a blunder in the abstract
of the Hawaiian Boards Annual
Report, published in last Fridays
paper. The number of church mem
bers, as given in the paper, is the
number of those in the Sabbath
schools. The Report gives the num-
Der of Church members for 1889 as
STAT a falling off of about 1900 in
the last ten years. The number re-
ported this year is 80 per cent. of the
total membership thirty years ago,
an average annual loss of over two
per cent. The census report of 1884
shoT we'd a Hawaiian population num-
bering only Sc per cent. of that re-
ported in 1853, an average annual
decrease of over one per cent.
But percentage statistics are often
misleading. While there has been
undeniably most serious diminu-
ton in the membership of the Hawa-
iian Evangelical Churches, it should
not be forgotten that the decrease of
population has been equally serious.
1t should be remembered that the
membership, as given in the report.
IS only that of communicates. or.
as they are designated in other
churches, those that have been con
frmed. Those who should be reck-
oned as adherents to the texts and
policy of the Evangelical Churches,
constitute about three-ffths of the
whole number given in the last CEN
sus. The significant question is,
what standard of character do these
church's hold up and keep up? I

THE DAILY
VANDALISM IN THE NINETEENTH
CENTURY,

A telegram among the bunch that
came to US by recent mail.
speaks of an agent of the Dominion
Government having discovered a
tribe of Indians in the northern part
OF British Columbia, who for gener-
atoms had INDUCED in cannibalism
as one of their sacred ordinances.
The spread of civilization during
the last fifty years has been so great,
and the remotest portions of the
earth have been so frequently Wis
tied, that people think of canni
ballsm as thing Of the past. Such
Is not the case, however, even in the
Pacific Ocean. Hardly anyone will
believe that fact, but fact it is, and
we have the authority of Mr.. FL. Fl.
Romilly, deputy commissioner for
the Western Pacific. His informa
ton comes down to 1856. In his
work "The Western Pacific and New
Guinea" he gives an account of a
cannibal festival of which he was an
eyewitness. This occurred in New
Ireland after a great native battle
when the conquerors feasted on the
bodies of six of the conquered. The
description is very minute, and for
such a disgusting and horrible sub
Ject well and delicately handled.
This writer estimates that the can
nlbals IN the world may be num-
bered by millions. He considers
that one-third Of the inhabitants of
New Guinea, of the New Hebr1des
and OF the Solomon islanders are
cannibals, while all the natives of
the Santa Cruz Group, Admirathes.
Hermits, Louisiade, Engineer and
D'Entrecasteaux groups come under
the same category.
Turning from the Pacific to the
interior of the continent of Africa
we find In a paper, published in the
June number of the proceedings of
the Royal Geographical Society,
which gives an account of the ex-
plorations by Captain Vangete, the
statement made that cannibalism
exists there on a large scale. The
Ba-ate, a tribe on the banks of one
OF the tributaries of the Congo. make
frequent raids whose only object is
the procuring of "meat," said .meat,,
being human flesh. All that is
Killed Is eaten on the spot, what is
taken alive is carried off and eaten
as occasion arises. The captain saws
ne has seen houses surrounded by a
border OF skulls for a distance of at
least twenty-eight yards.
There is vast amount of ciyiliz-
ing yet to be done before the horri-
Die practice is completely eradicated.
ana yet anyone asked off hand would
In nine cases out of ten say that
such a thing as cannibalism had
long since closed. It is however
a surprise to find the practice still
in an ont-of the-way por-
ton north of America. We do not
think it survives in South America

From what information has been

OAHU COLLEGE
Punahou Preparatory School
HONOLULU, Fl. 1.
These Schools Open for the New Year
September 9, 1889.

The faculty of Oahu College will be the
same as last year. The Friend says: "We
think that there has never been an ADLER
faculty at Oahu College, or one better
adapted to impart high classical and
scientific education"
The Boarding Department can accom-
modate but few more than were in attend
ance last year, and all who desire to enter
should make an early application.
The Preparatory School continues under
the Principalship of Miss Malone; Miss
Carrie A. Gilman takes Miss Chamber
lain's position, the latter having resigned
to remove to the United States.
The Trustees are happy to announce
that, through the generous interest of a
friend, they are erecting fine new build
ing and remodeling the present one, so
that this school will occupy new and COM
modious quarters in September. When
thus equipped we believe the Preparatory
School will offer opportunities second to
none in the Kingdom

an age when it is not derogatory for
human hands to be turned to works
of practical utility. There are at
this date fewer drones in human
hives than there were few years
ago; and the proportion of orna-
mental persons in civilized lands is
being gradually but surely reduced.
A knowledge of the dead Ian
guages is useful chiefly in certain
professions; but it is useless to the
millions Of men and women who earn
their bread with their hands, and to
a very large proportion who earn it
with their brains. Time was, and
not very long ago, when an Anglo
Saxon gentleman's education con-
sisted of Latin, Greek, a smattering
of French, and a very small smatter-
ing Of theories connected with
science; but we now look upon a
different world, where life goes on
under very much higher pressure,
and where changes of circumstances
are much more frequent, sudden and
varied.
Technical colleges and schools fit
boys and girls for the duties of
everyday life; trades are taught,
sciences are explained so far as they
are applicable to profitable practice,
and youths are fitted to earn their
bread under reverses and changes OF
conditions. In other words, they
are fitted to be useful in the world,
and live independent of charity OF
questionable transactions. Living
on ones wits will not be so common
IN the future as it has been in the
past.
We now ask: What has been done
in the Hawaiian Islands to establish
technical schools furnished with the
necessary appliances! A small
beginning has been made at Kane
hameha School, Palama, and at the
Hilo Boarding School, under Mr.
A. w. Burt; but are these limited
attempts at technical education sui
fcient?
In view of the number of Hawaiian
colleges and schools where orna
mental education and training are
obtained, would it not be wise to fol
low in the footsteps of more civilized
countries, and establish special
schools on each of the islands fol-
mechanical training in such branches
as are most fitted for this climate
Is it doing justice to the native
population to bring them up as use
less men and women, fit only for IN
skilled laborers or vagabonds?
These are questions that, if they
90 not press themselves upon us now.
must 10 SO at an early date, if we are
to keep abreast Of other countries in
works of utility and progress; and
our attention cannot be drawn too
soon to the coming necessities in this
direction.
This Kingdom may not be yet ripe
for technical colleges that grant
degrees in the several mechanical
branches; but certainly technical
schools imparting instruction in
mechanical trades, are an obvious
want; and this want should be sup
piled In justice to the native popula-
ton, and as help to white boys in
obtaining the elementary instruction
necessary to fit them for taking posi-
tions in workshops.
