How the schools are CIassed.

Mr.. EDITOR: / find that there is
some misrepresentation among people
as to the various classes Of schools.
In the report of the Board of Edu-
tion they appear under the titles of
Common, English and Independent.
These designations date back to the
time when Government English
Schools were first established in the
country.
The Government Common Schools
are those taught in the Hawaiian
language, the Government English
Schools are those taught in the Eng
lish language, and the Independent
Schools, some Of which have been
assisted by the Board in capitation
grants and repairs to buildings, etc.
The Government Common Schools
are Sc in number aid have 76s
pupils. The Government English
Schools are 81 in number and have
6,575 pupils. The Independent
Schools are sc in number and have
1858 pupils. The first two sets of
schools are supported entirely by
the Government. The latter are
supported by various means and
occasionally receive grants from the
general fund appropriated by the
Legislature. Yours faithfully,
ALATAU T. ATKINSON,
Inspector GenI. of Schools.

THE DAILY
THE CIVIL SERVICE REFORM BILL.

The passage of really good Civil Ser
vice bill is something which ought to
unite all well-wishers of Hawaii. Every
such measure has proved of wide useful.
ness, whereyerit has been projected and
executed in good faith. The desiderata
of u good bill are very simple. All that
is wanted is to introduce the merit
system, and to entrust that system to
non-partisans.
We regret that the measure which is
now being considered by committee of
the House does not possess these simple
qualifications. We have already indi-
Gated in general terms our emphatic dis
approval of this measure. The grounds
of our Judgment will become self-evident
by precise analysis of the leading teat-
ures of the Act.
The bill proposes to create commits
sion OF five members who shall have con-
troll OF the appointment and removal of
all Government employees except the
Auditor-General and twelve other lead
ing officials, and except clerks and others
on salary OF less than $1,000 (presum-
ably for the biennial period), The Com
missioners shall be appointed by the
King in Cabinet council, and shall be
removable for cause shown. They may
be all of one party, and may be members
of the Legislature or Privy Council, and
shall be paid s. per day Ii. G., sitting)
Their duties are to be, in brief, the clas-
sifcation of all Government employees,
according TO salary, the hearing and de-
Gliding of all complaints by or against
employees, the holding OF examinations
TO test the fitness of candidates proposed
by heads of departments, and last, but
by no means least, the appointing and
removal OF all Government employees,
except those specially exempted
We do not guarantee the above as re-
presenting the true meaning oil the bill,
for it is SO loosely and vaguely drawn
that the true meaning is very hard to be
ascertained. The bill, for example, no.
where says in terms that the power of
appointment and removal lies with the
commissioners. We have inferred that
merely.
The measure under consideration is
very long, complex, and full of detail, so
that complete view of it would entirely
transcend our space. Our criticism will
therefore OF necessity be confined to two
or three leading points.
l. The American Civil Service Act
provides that the Commissioners shall
be drawn from different political parties.
We do not hesitate to say that this is an
absolutely necessary feature of any
i'bona fide" Civil Service Act, and that
law without it must in any case be
dangerous, and might be worse than
worthless, might be nothing but tool
in the hands OF INSCRIPTIONS partisans.
The measure before US, significantly
omits this provision, although it was
very likely draughted with the Amer
lean Act lying open on the draughts-
mans table.
2. The American Act provides that
the Civil Service Commissioners shall
bold no other position of trust or profit
under the government. This again our
bill not merely omits, but it expressly

I'll kill him, I'll kill him! exclaimed
Mrs. Rosa Link between her sobs last even
ing, while telling her story in the Twelfth
ward station.
Mrs. Link is widow with large family
of children, and keeps saloon and board
ing house at No. 1864 Penn avenue. Among
the boarders was q handsome young rail-
roader, John McCune. Mrs. Links eldest
daughter Annie, aged 10 years, and the
young railroader were op friendly terms.
and Mrs. Link, not desiring that the ac-
quaintance should ripen into love, notified
McCune to get another boarding house,
which he agreed to do this week.
Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Link sent her
daughter to Allegheny on an errand, and,
as q matter of precaution, told the hired
girl to accompany her. About o'clock
the hired girl returned alone, saying that
Annie had told her she was going TO call
upon some friends, and would be home by
o'clock. Annie had not returned at
O'Clock, and Mrs. Link went to her daugh-
ter's room, where she found a note from
Annie to the effect that she could not live
without the railroader. She had therefore
left home, and intended to marry Mr.. Nc
Cune, after which she would notify her
mother of her address.
Mrs. Link wanted TO secure an officer to
stop the marriage, and was referred to In
spector McAleese at the Central station,
but when she reached there the Inspector
had gone home and nothing could be done
until morning.

HELP FROM THE PULPIT.

nounces rhe Illegal Liquor Traffic He
VIII Assist the Police 10 Run Out the
Speak. k.Ensies.
Father Corcoran, rector Of st. Agnes
Chur ch, Soho. has taken q hand in the
speak-easy business and threatens to make
it warm for the proprietors as we'll as the
people who frequent such places. He will
also make an effort to stir up the police au-
thorities and have the latter drive the lille
gal drinking places out of his parish. At
the several masses in his church yesterday
Father Corcoran preached against the bust
ness and was bitter in his denunciations.
He has cause to be, as he found several
young boys who had taken the pledge in
his church lured away and made drunk in
speak-easy. This is what prompted him to
deliver his attack against them. He said:
''This parish has been made to feel the in
fuence of the accursed low doggeries known
as speak-easies. These places are the resort
of women and boys, who would not dare to
go into q licensed drinking place. A great
many women who once form the habit of
imbibing strong drink cannot stop it. They
have not the will power of a man, and have
known Lnem TO take the pieOge az tue Sollcl-
tation of their husbands with the intention
of breaking it within an hour. know one
case in particular, where an old hag who
keeps a speak-easy enticed several boys
away from the temperance society after they
had taken the pledge. This old witch, this
demon in human form, tells the boys it is
manly to drink, and that only babies take
pledge. She always has about her crowd
of women and bows. The former sit in her
place tippling while their husbands are
away at work, instead of being at home at
tending to their household duties.
81 hope the police officers, in their zeal to
stamp out this accursed business and close
up these holes, will invade Soho, and pull
out every speak-easy keeper. They should
not be allowed to pay fine, but should be
sent to Jail. A fine OF S100 is nothing. They
can pay this without any trouble, and as
soon as they get out, start in business again.
Put every one of them in Jail and keep them
there. Society should be rid of them, and
they will all be run in if can do anything
in the matter"

TELLS A DIFFERENT TALE.

nIr. Greevy's Side of the Blair County
wnIInce- Pnttison squabble - He snys
All Other Reports Lack rhe Elements of
Truth.
Thomas H. Greevy, ex-Chairman of the
Blair county Democratic Committee, was at
the Seventh Avenue yesterday. He stated,
in an interview, that the published accounts
of the proceedings at the recent Blair county
committee meeting, in Hollidaysburg, were
altogether false. 1t had been alleged that
the Wallace men, Of whom Mr.. Greevy is
one, had tried to block the meeting, and
that in self-defense the Pattison men had
finally forced an adjournment.
"We could not have done much block
ing" said Mr.. Greevv, because the chair
man and secretary were both adherents of
Pattison, and they never published the list
of committeeman nor sent a single notice OF
meeting to any member of the committee.
John Dunphy, the chairman, read a new
list of committeeman as soon as the meeting
was called to order. He refused to admit
substitutes for those not present, and would
not put several regularly seconded motions,
thus admitting II unauthorized committee
men. Howard Porter, of Hollidaysburg,
and Pat Finn, of Tyrone, both well-known
Democrats, were dLuOuS tue
proxies who were thus arbitrarily refused
seats.
"When the time for fixing the county
convention date arrived, the Wallace men
made it August %, but the Psttisonians
wanted it in June. A vote was called, and
the ex-Governor's partisans got very
badly left. The moment the result was an
nounced Chairman Dunphv again rose and
said: L adjourn this meeting Then he,
the Secretary, and about IA OF the Pattison
men lett the room. About six Wallace
men followed, being desirous of catching
their train. The remainder of the commit
tee then reorganized and elected Charles
Smith, of Altoona, Chairman, and W. f.
Mcconnell Secretary. This done they
elected six delegates for the county conven-
tion-namely: a. S. Landis, 7. H.Greevy,
j. E. Bell, A. W. Dively, Esq, DR..
Rowan Clark and J. McFadden. At the
time there were 30 committee men present,
and these gentlemen authorized the Chair
man pro TEN to call convention if Chair
man Dunphy would not do SO.
s'That is the account OF the Holidays
burg meeting, and. as you see, it differs
very largely from the ridiculous stuff which

Turned out into the cold, dark night,
with five children budding about her and a
sick child in her arms! This was the pitiable
condition in which Squire Moore. OF Hazel
wood, found the wife of Patrick Burns
Saturday night She was sitting on log,
without shelter to protect her shrinking
body from the chill wind. and sobbing Bit
terly. Inside the little one-story frame
house from which she had been elected sat
her lord and master, Patrick Burns, very
drunk and cursing loudly.
Burns was on one of the periodical sprees
to which be is addicted. and when he came
home began to abuse his wife and children,
finally turning them out OF doors. Squire
Moore was notified and made the man take
back his family.
Burns is employed about the neighbor-
hood as gardener, and makes a comforta-
bic income the most of which goes to the
saloon. Local liquor dealers refuse to sell
him any drinks, but he has others who pur-
chase it for him in quart quantities, and
then goes off on monthly sprees.
Last winter, one cold, snowy night, Burns
turned out his vile and an infant three days
old. Mrs. Burns and the children passed
the night in a shed. The woman never COM
plained and the authorities were not noti-
fed. The little child contracted Group, and
has suffered from that disease ever since
Agent Dean, of the Anti-Cruelty Society,
has been notified, and he will investigate
the matter to-day at Burns house on Lytle
street. Yesterday Burns was seen on the
streets, drunk as usual, while his family
were at home patiently awaiting the return
of their father.
