Educational Matters.

MIR. EDITOR: I would like to call
the attention of the members elect OF
the Legislature to the great injustice
to the poor man which is brought
about by the compulsory education
law as it stands at present, and to an
amendment to the same which l
think would remedy the matter.
Our compulsory system, in the
main a good one, was organized
many years ago when the school
population affected thereby was
principally Hawaiian.
It is we'll known that Hawaiian
families average small, thus having
but few food consumers to be sup
piled by the father or bread winner
of the family. In those days, too,
food was easily obtained, and it was
no serious trouble to the head OF the
family if he were deprived of the
labor of his children until they ar
rived at the age of fifteen or even
longer.
Now, however, this is all changed.
A large part of the school population
is made up of the children of for
eigners whose parents are laborers
on the plantations. This class of
families average large, especially the
Portuguese families, a man quite
often having a troupe of eight or
nine children to feed and clothe, all
under the age of fifteen. The law
forces all of these between the ages
of six and fifteen to attend school,
and he is deprived of the help of the
elder ones to assist in supporting the
rest. Of course the law is a good
one as far as those of tender years is
concerned, for it prevents parents
from overworking them, but when a
boy is twelve years of age, good,
hard work of reasonable amount
will not hurt him, and he could earn
from half to two thirds of mans
wages in light plantation work.
propose plan which, while am
sure it will not decrease the educa-
tional standard here, will enable
parents to have the use of their
children's muscles for several more
years than now.
I propose law exempting all
children over twelve years of age
from compulsory attendance on the
| public schools in all cases where
they can pass satisfactory examina-
ton in reading, writing and the
simple rules of arithmetic.
The standard and method of ex-
animation could be easily arranged
by the Board of Education.
I believe if such law were passed
that large majority of the children
in the public schools would be as
we'll advanced at the age of twelve as
they now are at the age of fifteen
Parents would see to it that their
children attended regularly and that
they learned their lessons. At pre-
sent it is the exception in the public
schools where children do any study
ing at home, all the lesson learning
being done in school hours. When
parents learn that if their children
study we'll and advance rapidly they
can earn exemption, I think great
impetus will be given to study and
the labor of truant officers be dis
pensed with. Yours truly,
G. H. D1cKEY.

A PROFESSIONAL LIBELLER.

The IA Leo, Through the Agency u i''
Editor, j. e. Bush, has
Libel to a Profession.
Mr. Bush processes to believe that ne
;s one of the few who have discovered
the way of salvation, and from the lac'
that his paper contains columns OF e4.
tr.cts from the bible, a constant use OF
the name of Christ, and running hre
Of references to faith, hope, charity
the golden rule, ETC., it might oe eA.
pected that something like decency' II
nothing more, might be expected from
the paper, in its reference to representa-,
tiyes of other branches of religion, all
of which make Christ the corner stone.
But MIR. Bush is discreet in selecting
his subjects of libel, and selects those
who he thinks will not strike back.
Ever since the beginning Of his paper,
a constant object of venomous attack
and abuse has been Rev. H. H. Parker,
pastor of the Kawaiahao church.
No consideration is paid to his PROBES,
sion. to his long continued, disinterested
and ill-paid services for the Hawaiian
people, nor to the utter lack Of toundatlon
or provocation for the course pursued.
Mr.. Bush no doubt consoles this course
manly, and as showing his independence
of the missionaries 1t certainly is
on a par with his general reputation Tor
honor and bravery.
The following is sample OF his style
of reference to MIR. Parker anu the Ma
waiahao church:
'tTHOSE BLACK SHEEP.
Translated from Ka Leo.
We are sorry to learn of the mixed-up
way of living of one of the members o.
Kawaiahao church. "a number OF
charges are then made against two mem.
bers. which are unfit for publication.
The master is very much like
the servant, through his hiding what he
knows, and by stunning to teach. And
because widow happens to favor Will
COX, Christ's assistant at kawalahae
church is now abusing her. How are
these things? Firstly, the church is
shooting place: secondly, it is place fol
large mercantile transactions; thirdly
it is cave for robbers and adulterou'
people. These are the signs Peter pro
phesied will come in the last days, anc
it seems as if we are really living in the
last days, since these doings are 50 alike
with what Peter had foretold. We fee
; grieved to hear things pertaining to re
ligion from the members themselves, re
garding these carvings on, and for it,
being allowed. If one-half of them have
admitted that these things are true &C
cording to what was brought to us, ther
it is proper to have others take the place
of the pastor and the lunas OF tina
church and preach the word OF God "

in the United States to annex these
Islands; but we are evidently not
agreed as to the prudence of intro
ducing the subject at such confer
ence as that to which we were cour-
teously invited yesterday, at the
Foreign Office.
I limited this IN words which were
probably understood to carry fairly
serious meaning, and which certainly
could not be regarded by any one
who heard them as iil-natured.
My own opinion is that so long ss
we are satisfied that there is no de-
sire anywhere for annexation, 1t is
better to ''let sleeping dogs lie."

Farmers and knights of Labor

Wright, of the executive board, knights
of Labor, who has been in this city adj
justing some local affairs of the order
for several days past, in a general talk
to-day said: ':'The farmers with whom
we made an alliance, at their conven-

fectiye service at Washington in in
fiuencing legislation, mutually adyan-
tageOus. We are working tremendously
and forcefully. Our efforts will be
stronger and better as the necessity for
concert action arises. Mr.. Wanamaker
frankly admits that our joint efforts in
the presentation of valuable facts made
his postal telegraph bill possible.
We are committed to the urgency OF
the measure and shall perSlstently
assist its adoption. The Knights OF La
Dor are not opposing the American fed
Grafton of trade in the eight-hOur move

the conditions are now ripe for effe ctiVe

speak well for the success of the move

CHICAGO, March 27.-The committee

to-day, and will submit the report to the

1t proposes the srenewal of the Old

There is to be no executive committee

the chairman'S authority is to be almost
absolute. The section which was in
serted III the old agreement as con-
cession to the Wisconsin Central,
providing for physical di-
vision of earnings. by means
of excursions, was eliminated by the
committee. All points On which the
members of the committee could not

SALTWATER NEWS.
Very Sudden Death OF Capt.
James Stuart.

James Stuart.
The sudden death of Capt. James
Stuart, at 80 o'clock yesterday, caused
a great shock of surprise and regret
throughout the city, where he was so
well known and liked. He died in
few minutes after reaching home at
dinner time yesterday, lying down first
to rest moment, after climbing the
bluff road lead ng up from the vicinity
of the Hersey & Bean mill. He com
planned that the road was icy, and that
he had slipped once OF twice in making
the ascent, but made light of the
affair, except that he complained
of peculiar burning sensation
in his abdomen. A short time after
lying down he suddenly died very
quietly and without uttering word.
The funeral will be held from the
family residence OH Pine street, at an
hour not yet decided upon. Capt.
Stuart was native of New Brunswick
and lived in Saltwater during the last
twenty-five years. For long time he
had been in the confidential service of
HerSey d Baon Lumber company as an
ail-around man in looking up pine land
treSpassers, and doing Intelligent and
valuable work on whatever mission he
was employed. The deceased was for
merly captain of whaler, and nayi-
gated all the large salt waters of the
globe.
The two boys arrested here Wednes-
day evening are still III the city Jail and
were disposed yesterday to tell a more
consistent story. Their family name is
Brown, and they say that. the mother
being dead and their father Oh the Pa
cific coast. they were placed in charge of
a farmer near Brandon, Mimi. His
treatment of them the boys considered
unjust and they ran away. 1t is thought
money on which they travelled, and they
will be held until something further is
heard in response to the chief Of policies,
