The Bible in School.

SVme people object to the bible in the
school, as text book. This is wrong.
Where the teacher has the power and DIS
position to cultivate a reverence for il, both
by precept aud example, it is the very book

be dangerous TO place it wheiG j. WI he

Should 1t be stud ed on'y fer the saks OF

scri ption 10 iengthen the poblic school term.
Toe most needful cooperation is 10 see th.s
the present scnooI means are properly end
lawfully applied for the benefit Of the
schools. Surely nothing seems more need
fui in the Teachers Column than the school
laws Of this State.
Before people can improve on any subject
they must first know and understand the
subject: Every schoolboy and schooIgirl,
aud every other person should read and
know the SCHOOL laws Of their State. Very
few persons can get even q small circular
copy Of the school law, which gives sufficient
instruction for general use, AMI II Is very
plain to unde rstand that our school system
in tho South has advanced at almost q use
less dead rate for over twenty years, and
every year dooms many to the most bitter
bondage-that Of Ignorance.
When parents. and especially the mothers,
have felt that divine awakening influence Of
duty and responsibility which our Northern
and Western sisters have fell, then there
will be proper and lawful school system.
School officers having true regard for the
cause Of education will be elected hy an
honest vote Of all The people; district trus.
tees will be elected every two years by the
vote in their respective school districts.
Teachers having a proper regard fer truth,
piety, good morals, goud manners and good
school government, will teach the public
schools, and leave their impress on the
young.
Let all hope the time is near when igno-
rance will no more oppress our people as at
present.
1t is encouraging to know that The Editor
Of the teachers column has done much faith
ful work in the schooIroom, rs public
school teacher. and is we'll acquainted with
the present sch, ol system. lie alsj takes
special interest in church aud Sunday school
work, giving his attention 10 whatever he
undertakes. He wears the mark Of The late
war and the lost cause like many others he
has failed to receive the honor due him.
Only few of those brave honest heros arc
providential;y permitted to remain among
the living and they are welt deserving all
true honor and sympathy; especially when
they make themselves monuments Of use
fulness to every good cause.
The public schools belong TO all the peo-
pie. Properly managed, they are the best
wealth of the people. Ii is the duty of
every one to nclp' in establishing better
and more useful scho"l system.

mgt'n, March 9.-Reprcsenta,ivc Springer,
OF Illinois, who was one of the Presidents
callers today, asked him if the rule OF not
appointing men who had held office under

ported. The President replied in the
Affirmative, and when asked if the rule va,
intiexiblc, Mr. Cleveland responded that il
would be so substantially. There might be
exceptional AMI extraordinary cir, umstances
which might cause some departure from il,
but he could not call to MUD many possi-

The reforms which are BEING
carried out by the department OF
finance are we'll worthy Of occasI-
onaI notice. The last report sub
mftted By the minister Of finance
contains several valuable suggez-
tons. One Of these is that all
government realizatiOns OF what
ever nature should be turned with
out exception into the Hawaiian
treasury, so that all drafts for dis
burgernents must passithrough the
finance department. Minister
Damon explained the necessity to
a. sound financial system for such
a course and insisted that ordinary
business methods demanded its
enforcement. At the same time,
he explained, he did not lay blame
on the present officials, who were
following the vicious financial
methods inherited from the mon
archy. Mr. Damon began the re-
forms he is now carrying out when
he held office after the revolution
of 1887. Had he been allowed to
finish the good work begun by car
rving out the recommendations
made in his last report to the legis-
lature, before leaving office, the
necessities of the present period
would have been long since adj
iusted and the pressure OF hard
times greatly relieved if not
entirely avoided. 1t is re
assuring to know that the
finances of the country are at las1
being reformed in earnest by mer
in whom the public has confidence
because their private financia
affairs have succeeded, and theI
do not belong to the class o
disreputable Hawaiian politician
that has so long prevented tn
establishment of good government
in Hawaii.

The action taken by the councils
at the last weekly meeting in re-
fusing to recognize July 31st as a
pukIe holiday is to be commended.
The holiday business has been run
into the ground in these islands,
and if the government sees fit to
cut off q half-dozen more of the
useless and insignificant holidays,
which were made pretexts for clos
ing public business under the
monarchy, nobody will object. 1t
is high time that the Hawaiian be-
came a provident government; and
one of the first requisites OF gov
ornamental success is to attend
70 business. Of all the holidays
long kept up in Hawaii, restoration
day is about the last that would
bring any material benefit to the
islands, and those who still persist
in celebrating it will more thar
likely do $50 on borrowed money
az has been their custom.

One of the very funniest things
happening here for GONE time was
tina. alleged scoop by the evening
Fal;ir regarding the death Of Presi-
den. Garnet OF France. The
Fakir'= scoops now foot up grand
total cf two. The first one had
some dishouorable connection with
a piece Of manuscript stolen from
the American legation, about the
time ex-Minister Stevens left Ha-
wall, and the second and last an
nouncing the death OF President
Carnot, was contradicted by the
mail which arrived last Saturday.
The witless evening Fakir should
have taken the hint when It's more
reliable contemporaries refused TO
publish the absurd and unsub-
stantiated rumor, which wag afoat
on the streets two days before the

subscribers Of the leading royalist
journal read the astonishing scoop
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1893-07-31

Speaking Of scoops and fakirs
reminds one naturally Of Papa
Nordhofrs denial OF the true
reasons Of his recall in a late
number OF the New York Herald.
Papa knew the thing was coming
before he left Honolulu, which was
the secret Of his leaving the Ben
nett dispatch, with no bearing on
the case, to be published in the
evening Fakir, newspaper after
his own royalist heart. 1t is
strange the denial Of the dispatches
giving the true inwardness Of his
departure should be published ex-
clusively in the Herald and in no
other American journal. 1t is not
strange, however, that the most
the Herald asserts is that Secretary
Gresham is reported" to have
made the denial. The amused
smile of the reader gives away to a
broad grin when the last paragraph
is reached and it is further re-
ported" exclusively to Papa Nord
hof's paper, that Cleve
land and Gresham had taken
the occasion to publicly com
pliment the Herald on its Hawaii
an campaign As soon as the up
roarous laughter ceases, we wish t
call the attention of the evenini
Fakir to the fact that at presen
/ there is no necessity for any cx
planation-unless it wishes I
