Hawaii's Teachers,


During last month the first general con-
yention of teachers was held in Honolulu.
Heretofore the meetings have been held on
the several islands at the same time. Every
teacher was compelled to be present un-
less specially excused on account of illness,
the board of education defraying all travel
ling expenses to and from the other islands.
About two hundred and thirty Of tho two
hundred foxty educators attended the con-
vention. Perhaps there cannot be found
elsewhere among teachers SO many well
educated and travelled men and women, OF
larger proportion of graduates. Those
imported from the Estates rank high in
their profession. Very nearly one hundred
of the teachers here are Hawaiians and hall
castles, and their bright faces and splendid
physical presence would put to shame many
teachers in more civilized countries.
We were anxious to know what the ma.
tiyes could do in the educational line and
we're really astonished at the work OF the
native children. TWAS worthy of exhibit
ton at the worlds fair and might safely be
compared with the work of any American
children.
No time was lost at the convention in

THE INDEPENDENT. replying to the charge
that eighteen months ago 1t was advertising
the Aborn lottery fraud, says:
That was under another ownership and man
The iNDErENDENr. unlike ita Butte contempor-
airy. does not virtuously announ 9 in one column
that i publishes dreadful e5p,sition Of the
the sale of tickets in this STATE and in another
column an alluring sdvertisame announcing
where the the tickets are on sale.
No. but one year you publish an adver.
tisement for rotten lottery fraud, and the
lottery advertisements of any kind. Be-
sides. the ownership and management OF
IHE INDEPENDENT have not changed. Mr..
Sam Hauser owned the sheet then and Dave
Marks was manager. There has been NO
change since.-Inter Mountain.
We will again endeavor to illuminate
the density Of the Butte mind, although
its willful perversity almost discourages
us. Once for all we beg to say that
neither Mr.. Hauser nor Mr.. Marks con-
trolls the columns Of this newspaper.
Mr. Hauser is highly prosperous and
esteemed citizen Of Montana, cut he
does not own dollars worth Of stock
in TIE INDEPENDENT, and Mr.. Marks is
one of our most highly esteemed and
efficient employees, but the present
editor, who owns controlling interest
in the paper, is it's general manager, and
he doesn't take lottery advertisements
either. We beg to assure tho esteemed
editor Of the Inter Mountain that it is a
glorious privilege to run newspaper
that is not an organ. If he doesn't be-
lieve it let him persuade Mr.. Mantle to
sell him the Inter Mountain, and then
make it live, broad-guage newspaper,
like The INDEPENDENT. And on the
first day he assumes control let him
jump on the business office with both
feet for receiving unlawful lottery ad-
vertisements.

go. called outrages are the result Of over
whelming majorities in these particular
portions of the state. In view of these
statements the figures in the elections
are interesting. In Perry county where
there have been FIVE hundred murders
and no convictions in ten years the re-
publican majority was 4O3 in total vote
of 995 at the last general election. Onsley
county adjoining is overwhelmingly re-
publican, and Rowan and Carter coun-
ties, the bloodiest counties in the state,
are likewise republican. These figures
simply show that crime in the country
is not necessarily confined to democratic
districts, as the republican newspapers
would have us believe.

The Inconvenience Of Being Wise.

A certain learned doctor had been preach
ing in 3 country church and was on his way
back again. As he rode along he fell into
theological meditation, tackling several stiff
dogmatical questions, and consequently he
utterly lost his way. At last he met coun-
tryman, ofwhom he asked the way to Savon-
nieres. -... .,
But the countryman knew him and said:
why, master, you're an honest man, in
deed. I heard you preach in our church, and
never heard better sermon in my life.s /
should like to hear dozen such Sermons"
"Well, well, my good friend, hope 70 say a
few more words in season some other time,
but tell me the way to Savonnieres." MAY,
nay" said the countryman. may God keep
me from such presumption ! to teach man
who knows everything; you are laughing at
me, master. Why, the little children know
the way to Savonnieres, and are you. who
know all things, ignorant of such a..little
matteri Nay, It's not likely, master. God
keep you" And so he left him. p

CHICAGO, June 9.-Only light business
was transacted in wheat to-day, and the
market ruled quiet most of the session.
There was nothing especially new brought
to light to stimulate or excite trading, and
operators were generally disposed to await
the government report, which will be made
public tomorrow. The market opened
about the same as Saturdays closing to

for December than the closing figures of
Saturday. Crop advices from the North
west continue favorable, while from tho
winter-wheat districts nothing of impor-
tance sufficient to have any effect on
the market was heard. There was
a fair shipping business in corn
to-day, and the feeling was firm,
slight gains being the rule on
all futures. The wet, cooler weather had a
stimulating effect on values. and the fear
that the government crop report will be
rather unfavorable also had its effect on
prices, otfsetting the receipts and large in
crease in the visible supply. The market
opened firm at about Saturdays closing
prices. and. under good general demand,
advanced 3sc, eased off some. ruled steady
and closed ls04c better than Saturday.
Oats were active, stronger and higher, es-
pecially for the new crop deliveries. which
received the most attention. The strength
was due to unfavorable crop reports, es-
pecially from Illinois, where the crop is
said to be affected by lice. These reports
prevented operators from selling freely
and created good demand. The compe-
tition among buyers caused o firm market.
