The faculty of Oahu College will be the

The Boarding Department can accom-

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

that this school will occupy new and COM

thus equipped we believe the Preparatory
School will offer opportunities second to

MN. wREN,s -CANDIDArURE.

Mr.. Wren of this place is q candidate
for Commissioner Of the General Land
Office at Washington. We hope Presi-
dent Harrison will appoint him. Mr..
Wren is familiar with the land laws, es.
pecially the mineral statute. and would
make an excellent head for that branch
Of the public service. We have usually
had . Commissioner Of the Land Office
from q State that had not an acre Of pub
lie land. We believe strongly in the
doctrine Of special equipment for any
given line Of public duty. Mr.. Wren
sss shis case in an eminent degree. He
also has integrity. which brings him up
about a. close to the J~acksonian test a. 10
usually found in . Republican Of the ram
tankerous sort. And just here il seems
pertinent to remark that the SENTINEL
has been saying clever things OF MIR.
Wren and his aspirations for . good many
years. In . political way we have never
noted the compromising benefits which
are supposed to flow TO and fro and even
up the whole world Of action. Mr.. Wren
is quite unreasonable in his Republican
ism. Still he would make q first.class
Land Commissioner, and we hope to see
him get it. II President Harrison has
any conception Of the special fitness Of
he will give this office to our State
and u man.

WE DON'T NEED POLILICAL
LEADERS.

The New York Herald asks: Who
is the leader OF the Democratic party!
The plain truth Of politics is that the
two great parties seem to be getting
along pretty we'll without leaders. The
average American nowadays runs his
own thinking machine aud seldom takes
his opinions at second hand. The press
c~ollates statistics ON all subjects under
discussion, and if it is independent, as
the Herald is. it throws its columns wide
open to both sides. The farmer, the
mechanic. the artisan in that way keeps
the run Of current events and doesn't
want anybody to tell him what to think
or how to vote. He will think IS he
pleases and vote as he chooses.
In q great crisis, as the war, for in
stance, some public man, like Lincoln,
will represent the average opinion Of the
community. and so become, in Q sense, .
leader. There is no blind following,
though. for the people have been known
to turn about and lead their leader. The
bell wesher and the sheep period belongs
to the past.
1t is q matter for congratulation there
fore that We can look over the country
and find no leader in either party. This,
that and the other statesman have their
admirers, who dub them captains. or
brigadiers, but there is too much brains
scattered around for concerted action,
except when q principle is involved.
Then we divide at once, not on party
lines. but on public policies.
We don't banker after any Moses, be-
cause we are not in the wilderness. and
haven't any Red Sea to cross. We are
not Blaine's men. nor Harrison's men.
nor Cleveland's men. nor snybody's else
men. We are simply Americans. and
knocks the underpinning out OF
leadership during the piping times OF

xor a sILvsR VICTORY.

The selection by President Harrison
Of Mr.. Window as his Secretary OF the
Treasury can hardly be construed As a
victory for the silver interest. Mr..
Window is q gentleman Of great breadth
of mind on most public questions, but
we believe he has never been claimed
by the silver men - . champion oil
the white metal. He served in his
present position for 9 brief period I'M
der the Garfield Administration. No
steps were taken at that time looking
to . betterment Of silver. and it is en-
tremely doubtful If any will be taken
now. Rather we shall expect to see
the Treasury Department administered
in the old groove. 1t is within the
power Of the Secretary to Increase the
coinage Of standard dollars TO four mil
lion per month, the maximum allowed
bv law. The Cleveland Administra-
tion averaged close or to three million
per month, which was better than any
Of it's predecessors had done. arthur
and the rest stuck very close to the
minimum of two million per month.
Secretary Window being a Western
man ought to see his way to enforce
the law in it's most liberal sense. We
are not wishout hope Of him giving sill
YER q helping hand, and we shall stand
ready to accord him full credit for all
he does in that direction. We recog.
nizs neither party nor politics when it
comes to the consideration of q ques-
tion of such ~far-reaching consequences
as affecting the public welfare. Any
man is our man who stands for silver,
NO matter what he calls himself.

The New York World notes that The
failures last year in the Unite1 states
exceeded those Of 1857 Ly twenty per
cent. Il cannot account for the fact.
The Salt Lake Tnbune says il is very
simple. There Is . steady shriukagsgoing
on. aud property in proportion to money
is steadily falling. Property which was
worth 3 1000 . year ago is only worth
500, and the $1,000 which vas placed in
the bank, drawing no interest, . year
ago. will now purchase what would haze
cost a year ago $1,000. Thus property
which was ia use all the time steadily
decreased 10 value. while money which
was not 10 use steadily increased in Pur-
chasing power. The result vas that men
in business steadily lost money. This
has been steadily going On for fifteen
years, and last year there were twenty
per cent more who gave up against the
pressure than there were in 1887. That
is all there is to the business, and there
is no mystery about il. The chances are
that the great bulk Of all who failed are
men who depended upon making eollec-
tions from creditors who were tillers OF
the soil, aud who could not pay. There
will be more failures this year than there
were last, unless the men in authority do
something to stop the general course Of
things. Senator Stewart has the right
idea when he insists that the Treasury
shall begin to absorb the maximum
amount Of silver provided under the
Bland law. 1t is beyond comprehension
that our ~tinanciers cannot see that the
minute the United States sbsorbs all her
own silver crop and naturally the greater
portion Of the Mexican silver crop, that
moment there will become . stringency
in the silver market OF London, and as
o as a shipment to India shall be nee
essary-and $50, 900. 900 has to be ship
ped there from London annually the price
will have to rise, for London will have to
buy it, wherever she can find it. That
process would cause silver to rise fifteen
points the FIRST year. 1t would in the
same time add fifteen points to the far
mer's means to pay his debts, which
might mean the difference between pros.
perity and bankruptcy. and the same
plan pursued for two years would put
silver back to par and give to the coun'
try such prosperity as it has not known
for fifteen years. Unless this shall be
done there will be continued failures
among farmers and among those who de.
pend upon farmers for patronage. And
the business must be attended to very
o o or there will be a smashing up from
the Atlantic to the Rocky Mountains.

SAILOR sIR,s IN NEW YORK.

The Herald says there is something
odd in the idea Of q class Of New York
girls starting in to learn the artistic part
Of a sailors work. Whether this is q
shadow cast before by the coming female
yatchman it is too early to say. 1t is re.
ported that the girls who took the first
lessons were taught how to make a short
splice, . long splice and q manrope knot.
This sort Of nautical information may be
all very well in its way, but there are
short spices and long splices that have
nothing to do with ships, but upon which
depends the happiness or unhappiness Of
those who tie them. The marriage splice
is the thing every American girl should
know how to tie properly. Whether it
lie a long splice or 9 short splice makes
all the difference in the world. Too little
attention is paid by the girls Of America
to the most serious question that con-
fronts them. While the divorce courts
are tearing apart thousands upon thous
ands Of husbands and wives, would it not
be well to have q class in every family
where there are manageable young crea-
lures to study the great social question,

A dispatch from Auckland states that
advices received from Samoa show that
there was no foundation for the sensa.
tional rumor Of an engagement between
the American man.of.war Nipsie and the
German corvette Olga. The German Of.
fcials at Samoa have given up their ag-
gressive policy. The proclamation of
martial law has been publicly Withdrawn
and the Germans have abandoned all pre-.
tensions to the right Of searching vessels
for articles c~ontraband Of war. The con-
ciliatory policy of the Germans, says the
Silver State. has had a quieting effect on
the foreign residents of Apis, and n

six thousand, while Tamasese's army con-

Final experiments were recently made
by the New York State authorities to sat-
isfy themselves as to the best means Of
executing condemned criminals by cleo
tricity. Several dogs were killed with
an alternating current at 500 and 700
volts for ten seconds. Four calves Of ap-
proximately the weight Of q man were
killed at 800 volts pressure for contacts
of from fifteen to twenty seconds. An
$50 pound horse then took the alternat-
ing current in the same way 1t 1000 volts
pressure and died. In .every case death
was instantaneous and without sound or

THE UNION PACIFIC
Gains an Entranee TO n Pacific
COast

Gains an Entranee 10 tne Ehef"e
Coast.
Thr Topeka Capital Commonwealth
Of the sth instant has the following in
formation Of interest;
The Union Pacific has at last gained
an entrance to the Pacific Coast, aud its
terminus will be San Diego, Cal. About
siI weeks ago the San Diego, Cuyamacs
& Eastern road voted to issue S7,5OO,OOO
in first mortgage bonds for the purpose
Of developing its system. This road IS q
California enterprise. and the fact that
this step was taken led to considerable
conjecture in railway circles. 1t nov
trsnspires that the corps Of civil en-
~gineers which was dispatched from the
headquarters Of the Union Pacific some
time ago was sent to this section OF the
country and has now completed a survey
for . line from San Diego connecting
with the present terminal OF the Utah
Central, the latter being q portion OF the
system Of the Union Pacific. The Utah
Central connects with the Union Pacific
proper ct Ogden, and by the construc.
ton OF the road to San Diego the latter
will have an independent line between
the Missouri river and the Pacific Coast.
The line will require the construction oil
$50 miles Of track. The officials OF the
Union Pacific are reticent when ques-
toned concerning the matter. General
Manager Kimball. however. admits tina,
such . projec. is under way. j. s.
Cameron, frat assistant to President
Adams, has consummated the deal with
the California company. and the work ol
construction will soon be commenced,
Heretofore, the Union Pacific has beer
compelled to operate jointly with the
| Southern Pacific. connecting with thai
road ct Ogden. 1t is no secret that con-
siderable trouble was the result for the
reason that the Union Pacific had {
strong competitor, the Burlington, which
required extra accommodations as re.
CARDS faster service, through coaches
and direct connection with the coast
trains. The Southern Pacific paid but
little attention TO the requests Of the
Union Pacific. and in consequence the
new outlet has resulted. When the
new line il built. sub.general Offices Of
the Union Pacific Company will be To-
Gated at San Diego.
