IT IS said that the Paris exposi-
ton is still attracting as large crowds
as at any previous date, as is indi-
Gated by the visitors. For the first
fortnight of September the number
of visitors was 2,610,211, while for
the same period in 1878 the number
was 1,162,112. The admissions for
May, June, July, August and half of
September aggregate 17,O66,952, as
against S,287, 1893 in 1878. The pre-
sent Fair may, therefore, be justly
claimed to be twice as successful
as the former one. The exposition
was to have closed, Oct, 81, but ow-
ing to the large crowds still focking
to it the directors may decide to
keep it open month longer.

In ONE respect Hawaii is ahead of
England-in having established free
education for her population. This
subject is now beginning to be agi-
tated by the politicians of that coun-
try, and is attracting consider
able attention. The friends Of
free education are providing for a
full public discussion of it, confident
that it will become popular with the
masses there. A fund has been con-
tributed to defray the expenses of
speakers and the circulation of pam
phlets in support of the movement.
Many Radical members of Parlia-
ment have already announced them
selves in favor Of the movement, and
it is more than likely that resolu-
ton backed by the entire opposition
will be offered at the coming session
in favor of free education. The
Conservatives are already conceding
the stand to be taken by them in that
event.

Mr.. EDITOR: I am stranger but
have been in town here some four or
five months. During this time l
have contributed to the wealth of
this city in one way or another about
$50 per month. Now I think that l
have right to object and protest
against the miserable and uncom-
Portable condition in which Homo
lulu streets and walks appear when
the slightest moisture drops from
the clouds. I am a traveller and
one thing I can remember Honolulu
for is it's muddy streets and dirty
crossings during rainy weather.

"The Boston Postr errs when it states that
THE TRIBUNE derives immense satisfaction"
from the circumstance that alterations have
been found to be necessary in the machinery OF
the new cruiser Charleston. What affords US
unalloyed pleasure Is the course OF Secretary
Tracy in refraining from emulatng his prede-
cessor's partisansbip in condemning new ships
for trivial defects aud In embarrassing con-
tractors by holding them responsible for expert
mental work of designers If such injustice
as Secretary Whitney in his time mesed out to
his predecessor and the builder OF the Dolphin
were TO be measured to him again, his English
Americau cruiser would be condemned for o
default IN horsepower and for improperly de-
signed machinery. and the San Francisco con-
tractors would be subjected to merciiess crit
icism in and out Of the Department. hap
ply, Secretary Tracy shows no INCLINATION 70

rartment. He has not sought to discredit the
work Of his predecessor for pohbcai erect
He makes allowance for the defects of new ma
chipery and mistakes in experimental design

from partiSanship in the management OF the
Department that affords THE Tribune real
pleasure and satisfaction.
The four Roach vessels which had been con-
| tracted for under Secretary Chandler formed
the nucleus Of the new navy four years ago
| They were neither as large nor as powerful nor
as fast as they ought to have been. but they
had not cost very much and they answered the

them on their merits and then have improved
