A GREAT PITY /!

THE Hawaiian Historical So
ciety" is but a few months old,
and already has a paying member
ship of between two hundred and
two hundred and fifty gentlemen,
and a valuable library of over a
thousand books and pamphlets
relating to this country-some Of
them of grea. rarity. This society
seems to have taken a substantial
hold upon the affections and con-
fdence of the community. The
feeling is prevalent that it is doing
work which should have been COM
menced half a century earlier, and
that it is securing for all time facts
and historical material which
otherwise would perish. We refer
in our local columns, this morning,
to the discouraging misfortune,
amounting almost to a national
calamity, that has already over
taken this society and threatened
to impair its usefulness. It's library
has been all but ruined by foods
of water that have soaked its books
and destroyed its bindings. We
are informed that the estimated
loss is probably from $1,000
to $1,000. This sum will repair
the water-stained and water
soaked books, and furnish them
with new bindings. 1t is idle
to deny that these are hard
times. 1t will be difficult to
raise this amount by small contri-
buttons, and yet the Historical So
ciety should have this money, and
that too at once. 1t should not be
crippled in its very infancy by
| food, fire or any of the other ele-
ments. The money already in its
treasury is imperatively needed for
purchase of books relating to this
country that as yet are not in its
library. A rare opportunity is now
presented for philanthropic act.
The gratitude of the whole COM
munity will follow the man or the
woman who shall, by his or her
liberality, place the society in pos
session of sum sufficient to enable
it to pursue its labors unfettered
by the effects of debts or floods.
We cannot leave this subject
without referring in terms of cor
dial appreciation to the great work
being done for the Historical So
ciety by Chaplain Hoes Very few
realize how many hours of arduous
work he has spent in collecting
valuable books and pamphlets
and in classifying and ar
ranging them, and in the per
formance of other no less import.
ant services. 1t is not too much
to say that the great success of this
young society is largely owing tc
his intelligent activity and untirine
zeal, and the debt of gratitude due
him from this nation will be com
mensurate with the Importance o.
of the organization which he has
done and is doing so much to build
up.

THE LATE STORM.
The Books Belonging to the
Historical Society Suffered
Great Dana sc.

Great Damage.
The most unfortunate incident
connected with the terrific storm of
a week ago has not yet become
generally known to the public.
We refer to the literal fooding-out
of the library of the Hawaiian His
torical Society, now permanently
located in the large front room Of
the Honolulu Library and Reading
Room Association. The outlet Of
the gutter was clogged with an
accumulation of monkey-pods and
other filth, and the food of water
from the roof, forcing its way
under the slate and breaking
through the ceiling, was precipi-
| tated by barrelsful upon the al
ready large and exceedingly valu-
able library of books, pamphlets
and manuscripts of the Historical
Society. Hundreds of these books
were thoroughly water-soaked and
stained, and the bindings wholly
ruined.
The library of the society, the
day following the storm, presented
a scene Of destruction and chaos
such as we have rarely witnessed
The librarian, Chaplain Hoes, U
| S. N, has ever since been inces.
SAINT in his labors to repair the in
jury, and with as much success as
was possible under the dishearten
ing circumstances.

A few days ago mention
was made editorially, in this |
paper, regarding the Beef
Trust, and reflection cast upon |
the hides, horns, etc. As to
the hides, many of them are
shipped to the United States
and, after passing through
various stages of manufacture
are returned to the Islands.
The boots you wear, the har-
ness you use in driving and
the belts used to run the pres
ses which print this paper
were perhaps, on the backs
Of animals the Beef Trust
once held an interest in.
We have harness leather
and we have betting. Just
where the hides were grown
we cannot say, but we can
guarantee it to be equal to
any ever sold in this market
perhaps a little better.
The process of making belt
ing is interesting to anyone
and a word or two here will
not be out of place.
In the first place only the
best hides are purchased and
sent to the tannery where sup
erior oak bark is used in the
tanning process. The belly
being removed the first step
| is to cut the shoulder from the
| hide or butt" as it is termed.
The butt is then examined
to ascertain what particular
width of belt may be cut from
it. For the largest, or belts
used in electrical machines, only
those parts are employed
which have the center line cor
responding to the lines of the
back bone. Following this
comes the currying process;
the men, by means of long
knives remove every particle
of flesh from the hides. Next
comes the securing which is
done by means of a large
stone rubbed over the surface
while a stream of water pours
over it. Then the hide is placed
; in a sliding frame attached by
chains to a windlass and by a
multiplication of gears a ire.
! mendous tension can be ap
. piled to the piece. After this
! the leather is coated with
grease and thoroughly rubbed
in. As the preliminary work
has now been accomplished
belt making commences.
The pieces are selected &C
cording to the width and cu'
in strips and passed to the
scarfing machine which slice:
off a wedge shaped piece a
the end of each strip where i
is to be Tapped in the belt
The process of joining the
strips is then begun. The lap:

points of junction bymeans o

lar to those used in copying
letters. The smaller belts are
strengthened at the laps BY
4 rivets or staples. Belt:

are put together without any
form of metallic fastening
! The cement is selected with
r the utmost care and applied

IS inches of its entire length

of a single large hide.
p AS stated, one of the great
, objects in the manufacture is
to remove the stretch in the
belt although the effort is not
carried so far that elasticity is
gone. Should that quality
be gone the belt no longer
hugs the pulley tight, nor will
, it do its work satisfactorily.
Imagine the care exercised in
this respect in the manufacture

STUDYING SPANISH.

The coming on of the Columbian expo
sition next year is stimulating the study
of the Spanish language throughout all
the west, and before the coming year is
out this language will likely be enjoying
a regular boom, with thousands of stud
ents in those cities and towns who are
gradually awaking to the benefits to be
gained by closer relations with the
Spanish-speaking races. Clubs for study
ing Spanishare now organized in Chicago,
St. Louis, Kansas City, Omaha and Denver,
and social TEXTURES are introduced to
make the study doubly attractive.
If the enlightened people of those com
munities so readily recognize the benefits
of speaking Spanish, how much more
necessary is it for the people of New
Mexico, as pure matter of business, to
| do likewise!
Santa Fe daily New Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1885-1897, 1892-12-30

The Denver News has the following ex
cellent article on the school question and
statehood in New Mexico: in regard to
the bill now pending in congress for the
admission of New Mexico as state the
Albuquerque Democrat has the following
to say:
" The senate will insist on its amendment
providing that the Spanish language shall
not be taught in the public schools of
New Mexico. A constitution with such
provision as that will never be accepted
by the people of this territory, and con-
gress will simply waste its time in pass
ing such bill. Three-fourths of the in
habitants of New Mexico understand no
other language than Spanish, and it would
be great Injustice to drive their mother
tongue out of the public schools. In
large majority of the school districts of
the territory Spanish is the only language
spoken and under the operation OF such
law as that in question, the school teacher
would be practically the only English
speaking person in the community. The
intention of congress is undoubtedly good
in this matter, but the work should have
been commenced nearly half century
ago. L lt tHldbIlolCu uu7N VI " SON'A
try can not be superseded in day.
This is the only substantial argument
that exists against the admission of New
Mexico. 1t is also an argument In favor
of the amendment as proposed IN the
senate. New Mexico has been part of
the United States for nearly fifty years,
and while it has long been capable of
sustaining a state government its admis-
sion has been delayed on account of the
very conditions which the Democrat as
serts exist. And the worst of it is that no
apparent disposition is shown to effect
! change. If forty and more years have
been neglected by the native population
| of New Mexico, what assurance is there
! that as many more years will not also be
neglected?
AS matter of fact the real response
bility rests on the government of the
United States. The territory was &C
ouired by treaty as the result of con
quest. Its people belonged to another
race and were imbued with the ideas anc
traditions of another civilization and an
other language. As it was never the In
tention of the government to hold then
as a conquered race, their education by
means of a public school system ought tt
have been begun long ago, and the frs
step in this direction is to teach them tt
speak the English language. But nov
they desire statehood and confess wan
of public school education, but object tt
the requirement that these schools shal
be taught in English. All the facts SHOW
that the Amendment is very prope
one, and that it is absolutely necessar,
in order to transform New Mexico from
a frontier province, dominated by Span
ish characteristics, to a free and sover
eign American state.-Albuquerque Cit

1T SHOULD BECOME LAW.

Senator Veeder's bill giving the COVER
nor power to remove defaulting tax col
lectors and any other defauItins public
officials passed the council under suspen-
sion of the rules unanimously. The bill
contains beneficial provisions and is a
great step in the right direction There
has been entirely too much laxity and
carelessness on the part of legislators in
such matters in the past. The provi-
sions of this bill, if it becomes law, will
eradicate a crying and grievious evil. 1t
should become law.

be relieved from the maintenance of in
sane prisoners and paupera; besides con-
mon humanity and decency demand that
insane paupers should be placed where
they will be treated with humanity and

ing insane paupers in the county jails IS
a barbarous and inhuman one. The

better, nor a moro timely act than make
full provisions for the maintenance in
the Las Vegas insane asylum of at least
100 pauper insane at the expense of the
