own study OF other textbooks. In this
way we were trained 10 self-reliant
habits of study, which / have found
of the greatest service in all my sub
sequent mathematical work. 1t was
remarkable how much hard work he
got out of his class. But in this, as In
everything else, he always led others
by his own example. / have been
under the instruction OF various
teachers in the higher mathematics,
some of whom were finer scholars
than Armstrong, but / have yet TO
know the man who could inspire an
entire class with his own spirit and
purpose as he did. There was some
thing in his personality far more in
fiuential than mere learning or schoI-
arship, and / can never cease 10 look
back to the work done under him as
among the most valuable to me OF my
whole life.
With the end of the school year
came the public oral examination.
The books were, as usual, laid aside,
and, with a method and precision al
most military, the class was put
through its drill. Every one was de-
lighted with the bearing of the
teacher and the readiness of the class.
At length, by way of variety, Edward
Wilcox was told to demonstrate a
certain theorem in book first. After
drawing the figure, he was re-
quested to change the order OF
the numerals to be used
in the demonstration. Then, after a
few moments given him to fix the
figure thus REMEMBERED in his mem
DRY, he was ordered to turn his back
on the board and proceed with the
demonstration from the figure thus
pictured in his mind. This was done
in such a ready and prompt manner
as to excite the surprise of one of the
examining committee, who, not APP
preciating the true object of this un-
usual display of intellectual gymnas-
tics, interrupted him with the re-
peated request: "Look at your figure
young mani" Armstrong then ex-
planned to the rather puzzled exam
liner the nature of the test to which he
was putting his pupil, who was now
permitted to finish his task, to the
great interest of all present. The
superior work done by the teacher
and his class was highly appreciated
by the committee, and will never be
forgotten by those who had the good
fortune to belong to the class.
During the generals late visit tC
the islands, the writer, in familiar
chat, alluded to some of the incidents
connected with the geometry class
and particularly to the drill in mem.
orizing, such as that in which Ed
ward Wilcox figured. He seemed
very much amused with the account
and modestly said, "Why, Emerson
I was never anything of a mathema
| tician. 1t seems absurd that should
have taught such a class, and put
them through such performancesn'-

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER %, 1898.

=. 1t IS clear, from the advices
published in this paper yesterday,
that the settlement of our political
questions must be postponed till
after the opening of the year 1894.
If it involves the negotiation of a
treaty this course must necessarily
take time. Nothing definite has
transpired regarding the terms
which Mr.. Cleveland proposes to
submit to this government for It's
acceptance. Whatever they may
be they will receive the full con-
sideration of the Provisional govern
ment. But no step can be taken
by it that is not fully in accord
with the public sentiment which
now rules and will continue to rule
in Hawaii. While the delay is un-
fortunate, it must tend to solidify
public sentiment throughout the
group in favor of the platform
adopted in the proclamation issued
at the formation of the present
government, on the 18th of Janu-
airy. On no other basis can a per-
manent settlement be made.

GENERAL ARMSTRONG.
"reminiscences by Jos. s. Emer-
son in "The Outlook"

The geometry class at PunahOu,
which, as your readers will remem-
Der, is in the Hawaiian Islands, dur
ing the school year of 1859 was COM
posed of the following pupils: Mary
Alexander, Pattie Cook, Hattie Park
er, Carrie Parker, George Wilcox,
Edward Wilcox, and Joseph Emerson.
Our teacher, Mr.. Edward Beckwith,
took great pains with the class, re-
curing at each recitation, not only n
good understanding of the mathema-
teal principles involved, and a logical
accuracy of demonstration, but also
an exact memorizing of the words of
the text in the statement of every de-
finitioD, axiom, and proposition. Our
textbook was Robinson's geometry
in its earlier form of seven books, n
work which was well adapted to the
method of teaching and to the wants
of such class. Mr.. Beckwith took q
Droper pride in his class, and never
was a teacher more beloved and re-
spected by his pupils. Before we
had more than half finished the sub
iect he was obliged to give up the
charge of the class into the hands of
student who was but little more adj
yanced in his mathematical studies
than we were. We were all very
sorry to lose Mr.. Beckwith, but hoped
for the best from our new teacher.
1T required no little tact for an I'M
dergraduate to take charge or class
under such circumstances. But Arm
strong seemed equal to any emergen-
CIV. On the playground he was the
leading spirit in all athletic exercises,
and was the undisputed champion in
the game of wicket, in which his SIDE
seemed always victorious. On taking
the class in geometry, from the very
first he began to inspire us with some
of his own enthusiasm. Coming IN
from a hotIy-contested game OF WICKET
he looked every inch man. lie
wouId deliberately close his own DOCK
and Law it on one side, seldom referring
to it during the hour of recitation. LII
was thus easy for him to persuade US
to follow his example in this partlcu-
lar. Our memories were trained TO
do admirable service, so that at the
end of the year the majority, II not
all, of the class could repeat the entire
seven books, except the demonstra-
tions and mathematical calculations,
from beginning to end, or give any
axiom, definition, or proposition by
its appropriate book or number. In
the demonstrations on the blackboard
n very different course was pursued.
The figures were often purpoSely
changed from the form given in the
book. Numerals were usually SUBJ
stituted for the letters, and every effort
was made to make the demonstration
as much as possible q training of the
reason, with as little of mere memoir
izing as could be. We were stimulated
to study up other demonstrations,
and sometimes he would set the
example by giving us the result of his

THE AWAIIAN QUESTION.

Nearly eight months have pass
ed since Mr.. Cleveland assumed
Office, says the s. F. Chronicle, and
the Hawaiian problem is still I'M
solved. During about half Of that
time the senate has been in session
and could have considered the
matter if the president had been
prepared to submit it. But moth
ing has been done since the treaty
negotiated by Mr.. Harrison was
Withdrawn from the senate, except
to send Mr.. Blount On a semi-offi-
cial or extra-official tour of obser-
walton. His work, whatever it
was, has been finished for several
weeks and still the president has
done nothing.
This delay is or may appear to
be Of small Importance to the
United States. We have been dur
ing these months much taken up
by our financial troubles, and re-
Gently by the monetary struggle in
congress. The attention of the
country has therefore been divert
ed from the question of our rela-
ton to the islands. But it might
be well for us to consider how it
has been and is with Hawaiians
who have been standing at our
door all this time. Is this delay
just to them Are they not enti-
tied under every consideration Of
fairness and of diplomatic and po-
litical prudence to an answer to
their proffer ?
A recent Washington telegram
states that it is expected that Mr.
Cleveland will send special mes.
sage to the senate as soon as the
silver bill is out Of the way. 1t i;
to be hoped that this is so, but it is
more than likely that nothing will
be done until the regular session
Even if the message is sent in
congress may take a recess before
any action can be had.
But it would seem that the sub.
ject is receiving attention at Wash
ington. A democratic member Of
the foreign affairs committee is re-
ported to have said that one o.
three things will be done. The
queen will be restored, a protector
ate will be established or the isl
ands will be annexed; he was un-
able to say which plan would be
favored by the administration
And then we have an account o.
an interview with Mr.. Hit, Of
Illinois, formerly chairman of the
foreign affairs committee, who says
that all of these plans are imprac-
ticable, and the first one absurd
His idea is that the United States
should acquire the islands as a
military necessity, to be held and
governed as military and naval
station.
Such a proposition is utterly out
of the question. That we might
with propriety obtain q military OF
naval station there Or elsewhere
may be conceded. But when il
comes to including a large popula-
ton within n military reservation,
to be governed by the laws of war
and by our military and naval
officers, the thing is not to be
thought of. 1t is at utter variance
with the theory Of our constitution
and the spirit of our institutions.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1893-11-22

THERE is no reason to believe
that there is any imminent
source of public disorder likely
to break out here. Hawaii
is not living on a volcano.
The principal elements of society
are orderly, peaceable, and quietly
engaged in their various avocations.
What explosive steam is being ge-
nerated finds free vent in speech
and printers ink.
AS a matter of course, it is the
cue of the Anglo-royalist papers to
deride the idea of any actual dan
ger of outbreak against the govern
ment. If there is none, it is en-
tirely because the government IS
well armed and watchful. The
adherents of the ex-queen, are
not accused of being all in
sincere in their support of her,
or of being all lacking in courage.
If they remain passive, it is only
because insurrection is made so
plainly hopeless by the thorough
and vigilant defense maintained
by the government.
At the present juncture, there is
an element of danger sufficient to
justify the extra precautions taken
by the government. 1t is in the
peculiar agitation of the public
mind consequent upon the arrival
of the delegate of President Cleve-
land prepared to carry into effect
the policy determined on by him.
So long as that policy is kept I'M
known. and a denouement is i'm
minent, even though avowedly
postponed for a few weeks, both
parties are subject to a keen
awakening of both hopes and fears.
There is nervous tension. There is
a feyerish state of the public
mind. This manifests itself in
various forms of irritated and ex-
cited activity. Wise men will eX-
hort to calmness and patience, but
anxiety and solicitude there will
necessarily be until the great ques-
tons at issue are settled in some
form. There is good cause to hope
that a reasonable and just settle
ment will soon be arrived at.
While this disquieted and fever
ish condition of the public mind
prevails, there is a tendency for
the disorderly elements which exist
in every community to rise to the
surface and become active, and to
incite others to active disorder.
This has to be taken account of by
the government, which must keep
more or less additional force on
duty on account of this liability.
That they are doing so gives a
general sense of security. 1t is
confidently hoped that we are
about to enter upon a period OF
stable government and public
quiet, when this year of contention
and disquiet shall belong to the
past.

THE CARSON RIVER.
The Fight for its Waters in San
Francisco.

The Mill men of the Comstock and
the ranchers of Mason Valley are
now fighting for the possession of the
stream in San Francisco:
The testimony of a great array of
witnesses is being taken before T. d.
Edwards of this city. This gentle
man has been appointed special ex-
aminer for this purpose by the
United States Circuit Court. In that
tribunal this great controversy is
pending in the form suit of equity,
brought by the Union Mill and Min
ing Company against Farmer Dang
berg and 104 other tillers of the soil.
The testimony is being taken in
the law office of w. S. Wood, Ne
vada block. The witnesses thus far
examined have been Charles Jones.
Frank Tagliabue, James Morgan,
James Thompson, Henry Epstein,
G. B. Abernether, j. M. Baldwin
1.-THE two last named being the
original locators of the Belcher
mine), Oscar G. Steel, Charles Shad
James Hamilton and Isaac Butts.
These are all old-timers OF
'Washoe. Their testimony sup
plies an interesting history of both
milling and irrigation i'll Carson Val
ley. The suit of the Union Milling
and Mining Company, plaintiff, en-
braces (under the rule established by
United States Circuit Judge Sawyer
in the Woodruff Slickens CASEY the
claims of many other mills in the
same category, namely, the Mexican
Mill, the Brunswick, the Santiago,
Nevada, Franklin, Woodworth and
Rock Point. The contention is that
each of these mills is entitled to 1000
miner inches of water during all sea-
sons, both as riparian owners and as
prior appropriations.
The farmers claim to have appro-
priated the waters of the river be
fore use thereof by any of the mills.
The Mexican Company claims that
its ditch and fiume, constructed in
1860, still exists, and has sufficient
capacity to carry all the water it now
claims.
1t will be several weeks before the
testimony is all in and may be sever
al years before a final decision is
rendered.
