The S. S. Australians Engines.

1t will be remembered that the
Australia was recently fitted by the
Risdon Iron Works with triple ex-
pansion engines and new boilers, the
boilers carrying steam pressure of
100 pounds. The San Francisco
Bulletin states that the actual 1e-
suits obtained during the recent trip
OF the vessel were learned, and IL
will be at once seen that the antici-
pations of the owners and construct
ing engineers have been fully
realized. On the passage out the
weather was favorable; the voyage,
under easy steaming, occupied six
days, twenty-three hours and forty
five minutes, as it was found neces-
sary to slow down two days, owing
to certain regulations governing the
schedule time. On the fourth day the
vessel covered 1872 miles in twenty
three hours forty minutes of actual
time, giving mean speed of fourteen
knots per hour on consumption of
thirty-seven tons of coal. The home
ward passage was favored with only
two fair days, the remainder being
rough, with head seas and strong
northerly winds, Notwithstanding
which the vessel completed the
voyage in seven days and two hours,
on a daily average of coal con
sumption of forty-one tons. The
greatest days work homeward
was 307 miles, against a strong
head wind. In previous voy-
ages with the old engines of the
compound type and seventy five
pounds steam pressure, her average
speed was twelve knots, with a con-
sumption of ffty-three tons per day.
1t is claimed that the economy of
fuel, owing to the new triple-expan-
sion engines, gives them clear saw
ing of % per cent. in coal, together
with an increase of speed Of two
knots per hour. Throughout the
voyage the machinery worked with
out the slightest hitch. The Risdon
Iron Works has received great praise
for the manner in which this large
contract was performed, and j. D.
Spreckels, the Managing Director of
the o. S. S. Co., has the satisfaction
of knowing that the results OBJ
tanned have more than justified the
outlay, and that the Australia is
now a steamship with all the latest
and best improvements known to the
engineering world.

THE EVA RAILROAD.

The opening, or rather we must
call it the experimental trip upon
the Eva railroad, marks another era
in the progress of this little King
dom in general and of Honolulu in
particular. The idea of railroad on
Oahu has always been laughed to
scorn by croakers, although the pre-
diction was made in 1860 in the
PACIFIC COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER, and
twenty years later in the GAZETTE,
that the time was not far off when
railroads would encircle Oahu.
However, we live and learn. We
expect before many years are gone
by that the Hilo railroad will be a
fat dccompLt, and we should not be
surprised to see another line opening
up the lands in Puma. There are
far better lands in that district than
most people are aware of. Hail to
the first trip on the Eva railroad
then, which promises to open up
lands now lying waste, and which
will enable many a man who now
lives in hired house to repose under
his own vine and fig tree. Success

against great odds, and is bound to

A Brave Lad.

A-small boy of Spokane Falls dis
covered that the railroad bridge was
burned. He was a small boy, but he
had heard many things and remem-
bered them, and amongst them that
train could be stopped by red
flag. He had no red flag and was
far from help, but remembering his
red undershirt, the little fellow
stripped it off and tagged the train
and saved many lives. Let us con-
slider the capabilities of the scene for
treatment. A small boy stripped to
the waist, and tagging a roaring
train with his shirt. The lad is a
hero. We lift our hat to him. If he
ever needs friend let him say SO.

CLIMATE CHANGES MAN.

The editor of the Samoa Times
gets off the following on the infu.
ence of climate in effecting changes
upon mankind: "That physical sur
roundings will alter the appearance
of those brought under them is clear
to any one who examines q few
familiar facts (said a writer in The
Peoples of the World). The rosy
checked, plump Englishmen is of
the same race as the 1.-THE, sparely-
feshed yankee" of New England.
or the straight, sinewy backwoods-
man of Canada or of Maine. In
even shorter time some of our col
onists have assumed the rank of a
"race" in many respects different
from the stock of which they are the
off-shoots Take, for example, the
Australian-born youth. Familiarly
he is known as ''cornstalk," owing
to his long, lank proportions. In
like manner, the influence of the
dry, dessicating climate is telling on
the South African Briton and upon
the people of almost any colony who
live there long enough to enable the
physical atmosphere in which they
are enveloped to work its influence
on their bodies, and consequently on
their minds. Even the Boer of dry
South Africa is in appearance very
different from his cousins in moist
Holland. The people who live in a
fine open country, Astounding with
game and food, and whose food of
life induces active exercise of mind
and body, are invariably a finer race
than those existing in low, malar-
ious districts, where the scanty sub
sistence which. the country yields
can be obtained without any great
ingenuity and with the minimum of
muscular exertion. The population
of large towns-it has been proved
of France, and is affirmed of other
countries-is only kept up by con-
tinual streams of fresh blood from
the rural districts; the unnatural
condition of life in city being evil
IDENTIFY untitled for the natural in
crease of the population.

Hawaiian Church Membership.
Sd Sept. 1889.

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 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
showed a Hawaiian population num-
bering only Sc per cent. of that re-
ported in 1858, 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.
It 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?

IN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS.

There was great uproar in the
House of Commons on Thursday
night, Feb. s, over the statement of
Mr.. Balfour, Chief Secretary for
Ireland, that two resident magis-
trates had refused to subscribe to a
race meeting because Ted Harring-
ton, a member of the committee had
denounced the police as towards,
liars and uniformed bloodhounds.
When Mr.. Harrington challenged
Mr.. Balfour to give his authority,
the latter replied that he spoke on
the best of authority. Thereupon
MIR. Harrington started across the
floor apparently with the intention
of assaulting Mr.. Balfour, but he
was followed and pulled back by Mr..
Mahoney. Amid a moments pause
in the uproar that followed, Tim
Healy loudly accused Mr.. Balfour
Of using an insulting gesture to-
ward Mr.. Harrington, and told Mr..
Balfour to keep quiet or else they
would make him. When order was
restored, after a tumult of fifteen
minutes, Mr. Balfour denied that he
had used an insulting gesture, and
Mr.. Harrington apologized for his
hasty action. MIR. Balfour was then
allowed to proceed with his speech.

PUSHING WORK AT GREYTowN.

The Nicaragua Canal and Con-
struction Company are pushing
ahead upon their great undertaking
with all possible vigor. The mis-
takes of the Panama Canal Com
pany have been many and marked,
and the Nicaragua Company is pro-
filing by them. Especially is this SO
as to sanitary conditions, which at
the latter place are upon scale of
excellence never provided at Aspin-
wall and along the sickly Chagres,
while the need along the route of
the proposed canal at Nicaragua is
in no way comparable with that on
the Isthmus of Panama A large
number of workmen from the unfn-
ished ditch at Aspinwall have found
their way to Greytown, where the
first work on the canal is being
done, and are rapidly being set to
work, at rate of wages better than
they received before, besides which
they are supplied with food by the
company, of the most wholesome
and substantial quality, with due
regard to the climatic conditions of
the location.
In addition to this, portable build
ings in great number have been
shipped from New York, and, as
rapidly as possible, accommodations
of the very best kind are being pro-
vided for the workmen, it being the
belief of the company that better re-
suits can be obtained from perfect
condition of sanitary arrangements
wholly under the care of the COM
pany than if their people were left
to themselves to devise plans for
their health and comfort. Pure water
will be obtainable at an early
date at Greytown, as two large
reservoirs are projected, and will be
completed as soon as practicable.
Steamship communication will either
be established by the company, be-
tween New York and Greytown, or
private enterprise will undertake to
supply the construction company
with frequent and regular communi-
cation, in conjunction with other
Central American ports. In addi
ton to this it is intended to estab
lish steamship service between Brito,
the Pacific seaport of the Canal, and
San Francisco, for the purpose of
bringing supplies and implements
for those engaged on the work.
The true business-like character of
the enterprise is seen in the absence
of loud talking, bombastic display or
clap-trap of any kind, and by the
quiet, steady manner in which work
is being pushed, and preparations
made for the completion of the canal
within the least time possible, to
which end, work will at once be COM
menced at the western side, at Brito,
and later, no doubt, Lake Nicaragua
will be the basis of two separate
companies, one working toward the
east, and the other toward the west.
1t is confidently predicted that the
canal will be completed by the year
1894, and possibly before that, if a
sufficient number of capable men are
obtained to carry on the work as de-
sired.
The contrast between the manner
of conducting operations on the
Nicaraguan route, and that which
marked the management of the
failure at Panama, clearly proves
that Yankee shrewdness is going to
discount French enthusiasm, and
that the American will be the first to
complete a canal that will unite the
Atlantic with the Pacific.

Those Highway Gates Again.

Mr.. EDITOR: 1 am very glad to see
your defence of public rights in the
matter of highways. By all means
let gates and Instructions be re-
moved off, even the least frequented
byeways, no matter at what cost to
the ranch and other industries of the
country.
After careful persual of the law,
I find nothing which compels man
to go no faster than a walk over gov
eminent bridges, and no doubt the
right thing to do would be to gallop
over them, which will in future save
much valuable time, and 1 don't sup.
pose the bridge will be washed away
any the sooner for it.
Stick up for our rights sir and get
all ridiculous distractions abolished.
Yours respectfully,

Is il Right? Isn't One Mans Cash n!
Good as my Other Mans Money?

We refer to the practice which it Is alleged
is common among some merchants OF charg.
ing outsiders more than they charge Alliance
men.
We are always glad to see any buyer get his
goods as cheap as possible, and we think that
every buyer, who has the cash, should be
placed on exactly the same footing.
The poor map, who has only one dollar in
cash should he enabled TO buy as much with
that dollar as any combination of men can
buy with the same money. The poor mans
dollar should 60 as far as the dollar OF the
great and powerful organization. Let nier-
chants everywhere treat those of us who are
out of the Alliance with the same consdcra
tlon that Is shown to members of the ALL
ance. We do not object to the Alliance men
getting their goods at the lowest figures.
That is right. We want the same privilege
and no more The merchant who Is doing
business for the public should place every
cash customer on the same footing. Is there
any reason, or business principle, which
would justly prevent any citizen from buy
ing goods as cheaply as any other citizen
\ dollar Is u dollar, and one mans money Is
as good as any other mans money. SO, Mr..
Merchant, give us all good bargains. Treat
us all alike, if you please. Show no partial
ity. Don't discriminate against us. Our
money Is good as anybody's. Why not, then,
give us the same bargains that are given to
our neighbors? If not, why not. Remember
all men cannot join the Alliance.

The School Law as it Relates tG
Teachers.

The Trustees of each School District are
authorize TO employ teachers for all the
schools under their management, and no
teacher should open free public school with.
out the knowlege apd consent OF the trustees
ontrolling 1t.
The school month consists o. twenty school
| DAYS, and this number must be taken as the
unit of computation In estimating the aver
age attendance OF each pupil.
Each teacher Is required to make out and
file with the Clerk Of the Board Of Trustees at
| the expiration Of EACH school month Il full
| and complete report of the whole number oil
| scholars admitted to the school during each
month, distinguishing between male and 1e-
male, the average attendance, the branches
taught. the number or pupils engaged IN
! studying each Of said branches, nnd such other
statistics as he or she may be required tu
make.
| The greatest care should be used In the pre-
paratlon of this report, especially In regard to
| the average attendance, which Is found by
adding separately the number OF boys ana
number OF girls attending each day ana di-
viding the sum by twenty. Any mistakes or
omissions give the School Commissioner no
and the Trustees are required to see that the
reports when presented by the teachers are
correct .
No person less than six or more than eigh-
teen Years Of age must be admitted 10 the
free public schools.
All the teachers must be careful to see that
the books adopted by the County Board OF
Examiners last fall are used In their schools
as the law requiring their adoption Is very
positive.
ANY teacher desiring a list of the books can
obtain one at the office Of the School Com
missioner. r. G. MCLEES,
