Legislatire Petitions.

Mr.. EDITOR: Some of the petit
tons presented to the Legislature
| by the member from Kohala, ap-
| pear to indicate misconception of
the state of affairs on plantations,
or else a knowledge of very differ
ent conditions existing from those
known to the writer.
| To the petition "That laborers
be not allowed to get into debt to
employers more than SO a week"
it may be said that all employers
would be only too glad if they
were never importuned for any adj
vances whatever on wages.
| 10 resist the urgent requests for
these advances, calls for an exercise
of the greatest irmness and appar-
ent hardness on the part Of the
employer.
To ask shat employers be re-
CURED to settle promptly at the
end of the month";" is superhuous
to say the least, since every plan
tation has it's weekly pay day and
pays promptly every man whose
month has ended during the week.
And to request 'sthat if they 1.-THE
laborers) owe anything they shall
have the option as to how much
they shall pay On account" appears
simply absurd to any one who has
had experience in that line, partic-
uIarly with the native Hawaiian,
than whom it would be difficult to
find a slower paymaster.
l beg to suggest to the honorable
member that more useful would be
a resolution that the Government
consider whether it be practicable
TO provide residences for the teach
ers of the English schools in coun-
try districts, instead of putting
them to the necessity of hiring
house, or OF seeking accommoda-
tons in private families, either of
which if secured at all, may be only
at a very inconvenlent distance
from the school.
Teachers must be sought abroad
to supply places not filled by the
home product, If education is to be
kept up; but what inducement is
there under such conditions for
them to come, or to remain after
they have tried 1T year?
A bill to make it a penal offence
for minors to use tobacco in any
form, and to provide for hygienic
instruction on this point in the
schools, might conduce to the gen.
eraI health of the population.
Will Rep. Bush tell where he got
the idea that an adept at saving
whiskey was better fitted to run q
than one who has been
"schooled in the care of souls?
In the present instance and in
view OF history that dates not ten
years back, the proposition appears
to refute itself. -

steinitz Chess Club.

The new quarters of the Steinitz
Chess Club on Alakea street were
opened on Friday evening. The
place is fitted up in the most con-
venient manner, the floors are stain
ed and curtains have been hung
around by fair hands giving a very
cosy appearance. President Bruce
Cartwright is to be credited with
giving much time towards getting
the place ready. Between thirty
and forty members were present Fri
day evening and the seven or eight
tables in the building were all occu-
pied by players. The rooms will be
open every evening during the week
except Sunday

FROM JAPAN.

By the steamer Sagami Maru, we
have received files OF the Japan Ga
zette to June 2, for which we are in.
debted to Capt. Kenderdine.
The Japan Exhibition at Toxic
was still open and was daily visited
by an average attendance of ten
thousand persons.
The Japanese Government pub
fishes the rates of exchange for ad
valorem duty goods entered at the
Custom House in yens. The pound
sterling is rated at $6.237; the
American dollar, $1.282; the Ger.
man mark, $0.305.
Influenza was prevailing in Japan
at latest dates.
The Japanese naval training ship
Tsukuba is about to start on a long
cruise with batch of cadets. 1t is
intended to visit Shanghai, proceed
thence to Port Arthur and Chefoo.
return to Shanghai, call at Fusan
(Corea), thence proceed to Hakodate
and afterwards to the Hawaiian
Islands. The cruise is calculated to
last eight months.
The wonderful ten-inch cloisonne
vases, so greatly admired by visitors
to the Exhibition at Ueno, have been
sold to the world-famous art curio
dealers, Messrs. Deakin Bros. & Co.
16 Bund-the price realized being
LOCO. They were made by the cele-
brated enameller, Namikawa of
Kioto, and are pronounced the finest
ever produced. We shall have more
to say of these gems later on.
The tide of emigration from japan
to the Hawaiian Islands still CON
tinues. Another batch of 59O-in all
the fourteenth we believe which has
gone to the islands-leaves here bv
the Sagami Maru, on June I'd. com
prising ITO males and Sc females
from Kumamoto-ken, 100 males and
36 females from Hiroshima ken. 100
males and 38 females from Yama-
guchi-ken, and 40 males from Fin
kuoka ken.
Judging by the statement of one
OF the native papers, emigration to
Honolulu appears to be profitable.
We are told that the savings depos-
tied with the japanese Consul at
by the emigrants are
steadily increasing and that thew
now amount to over S25O,OOO. In
stead OF two officials, four are now
engaged by the Foreign Department

Mr.. EDITOR Probably no one
would advocate the conversion of
Oahu College into a mechanical
school, but are there not many
boys whose education would be
rounded out to their own satisfac-
ton and material benefit in later
life, by provision being made in
the college or in connection with it,
for regular and systematic instruc,
ton in the use of the tools that
most men are liable to find it neces-
sary to handle more or less during
some part of their life, CT would
handle if they knew how? L refer
OF course to carpenters tools, and
not only to instruction in the use
aud care OF them merely, but as a
natural sequence, instruction in the
laying out and construction of
work in which they are used.
instruction of this nature would
be particularly beneficial to bows
who have no prediction for the
professions, and whose pursuits are
therefore liable to be of q meehan.
lcal nature, or of nature that re-
quires knowledge of such matters
IN order to an intelligent and pro-
ficient oversight of work that NAV
come under their supervision.
The tendency of the age is to-
ward education for participation in
the practical affairs of life, rather
than for mere book lore that is to
be not only of no earthly use after
the school days are over, but to
which the years of time devoted m
acquiring without accompanying
training of the eye and hand are
so many years of training into a
condition of helplessness, inefic,-
ency and failure in life.
How many boy with no natu-
raj bent for any special calling vet
developed, would not, if taken in
me,receive impressions that wouId
lead to successful and satisfactarv
life in particular line of labor. in
