an impetus that will let it roll merrily

THE PARTY CONSOLIDATED.

We are pleased to be able to
inform our readers this morning
that the negotiations which have
been for some time in progress be-
tween the American League and
the Union Party have been brought
to a successful conclusion, result
ing in an amalgamation between
the radical and the conservative
elements. The organization Will
be called hereafter the American
Union Party. The name means
not that the party is American-it
is not, it is Hawaiian-but that 1T is
the party of American Union. 1t is
in the field to stay until union with
America is fact, and not a word.
The membership of the Central
Committee is increased by the adj
dition of eight members of the
American League. A few changes,
of no great consequence, are made
in the platform.

The views of the Star upon
water-power are excellent in theory,
but they do not suggest any great
familiarity with the conditions
which prevail around Honolulu.
This city will never be run by
water-power. Mr. Thurston, how
ever, would be pleased at this
revival of his plans, for he always
had a certain "hankering' after
reservoirs and dams. Upon the
island of Hawaii, however, the case
is far different, and with the CO.
operation of the electric current we
may expect to see the splendid
streams of the Hilo district operate
a railroad from Hilo bay to
Kohala. The enterprise only waits
upon settled times in order to pour
in its millions and quadruple the
population of Hawaii.

MAY REORGANIZE.
The Honolulus May Contest the
Kamehameha's Championship.

The coming ball season is at
tracing considerable attention just
now. The fact that the Kameha-
mehas have won the championship
| for the past two years, and that If
| they win this year they will become
| the possessors of the Spaulding
| cup, has created an activity among
the old Honolulus that may result
in their forming team to contest
the supremacy of the college boys.
The Honolulu club will hold a
meeting today, when it will be de-
cided whether they will play this
season or not. If they do decide to
reorganize the club will consist of
nearly the same members that
composed it in 1892. They can
give the Kamehamehas a tight
tussle for the championship, and if
they win it the series of games for
the cup will have to be started all
over again, as it is necessary to win
the championship three years In
succession to obtain possession Of
the trophy.
The Honolulus would be well
come addition to the '94 league, as
from present indications there will
be but three clubs to contest during
the coming season. Three clubs
never give as much satisfaction as
four teams do, and every baseball
lover is aware of this fact. Both
the Crescent and Hawaii boys have
commenced to make preparations
to win the championship, and to
assist in gaining that end both
clubs have been materially
strengthened. 1t is not known
how many new members the Ka-
mehamehas will have, but they can
be counted on to have a strong
nine.

Value of Coins.

1t is stated by George @. Evans,
to whose work on the Philadelphia
mint the writer was indebted, that
the following American coins are
all rare, and command premiums
when in a good state of preserva-
ton: Cents of all years from 1898
to 1900; also of 1904, 1895, 1908,
1909, 1911, 1913 and 1856. That
of 1899 is worth SIS. The valuable
half cents are those Of all years
from 1893 to 1902; also those of
1905, 1910, 1911, 1881, 1886, 1910
to 1S4S and 1852. The valuable
silver dollars are those of 1874,
1904, 1888, 1889, 1851, 1852 and
1858. The valuable half-dollars
are those of 1894, 1896, 1897. The
valuable quarter dollars are those
of 1928 and 1927, a specimen of
the latter being worth $25. The
most valuable dime is that of 1904,
being worth $3.50. The half-dime
of 1902 is worth $40. The scent
and Scent nickels of 1877 are
worth 80 cents apiece. The valu-
able gold eagles are those of 1895
and 1898. The rare half-eagles are
those of 1895 to 1898; also those OF
1915, 1919, 1922, 1924 to 1929 and
1881.
The mania for collecting coins is
a dangerous one, so great hold
does it get on it's victims. Some
times they become misers and &C.
cumulate fortunes in rare pieces,
while living in the utmost perjury

Annexation to the United States
is certainly out of the question at
present, but this country will pre-
serve the autonomy of Hawaii and
insist that the people of that coun-
try be allowed to govern them
selves. They may go ahead and
create a republic, if they choose,
and we shall certainly not inter-
fere. The only time the eagle
will shake out his feathers
will be when some foreign
nation undertakes to coerce or ca
jole Hawaii into abandoning it's
independence. Afterward, possibly
long afterward, if united Hawaii
shall ask admission to the Union
we may consider the question, bu

THE BOARD OF EDUCATION.

We publish on our first page,
three letters from three teachers OF
Hawaiian schools, which deserve
the attention, not only OF the
Board of Education, but of all
thoughtful men and women 1t is
gratifying and encouraging to
know that there are teachers III
Hawaii so filled with an intelli-
gent and serious conception of
their duties, as these three plainly
are.
The new Board of Education
has a very grave and a very diff
cult task before it. For two years
and more attention has been
drawn in the public press to the
necessity of fundamental reforms
in the schools. Not only has there
been a crying need of better
methods. but of better men,. The
character of the persons to whom
the care Of youth has been en-
trusted has sometimes been of the
most depraved sort. There are
undoubtedly many such teachers
still busily engaged in debasing
the youth. They should be weed
ed out with an unsparing hand.
The duty is not pleasant one but
it must be done.
Two qualities are required of the
present Board of Education-intel-
ligence and courage. Few persons
doubt its possession of the first
quality. Upon its exercise OF the
second will depend, in a large mea-
sure, the estimate formed of it by
the public. No doubt a radical
course on the part of the Board
will excite much friction, and will
raise up host of enemies. These
are ills which must be borne. The
reorganization of the Board was
undertaken with the intention Of
securing a reorganization of educa
ton, and the efforts of the Board
should not slacken until that end
is secured.
We look forward with great con
fidence to the work to be accom-.
plished by the Board. 1t is armed
with a clear knowledge of its duties
is fortified with the experience o.
intelligent teachers, and is vel
aware of the expectations which
the public has formed.

A WORD FOR THE PORTUGUESE.

II correspondent In Inls Issuo op
jects, with reason, to an attack
which has lately been made upon
the Portuguese colony. 1t would
doubtless be a convenient thing,
politically, if the population of Ha-
wall were of one strong, unmlxed
stock. The country would be rid
of problem or two which promise
it a goodly portion of vexation for
some years to come. Given the
present heterogeneous elements,
however, and there is no need to
regret the presence of the Portu-
guese. They furnish incomparably
the most desirable laboring popula-
ton which has ever been in the
country. They are industrious and
prolific. The rising generation is
proving itself genuine product of
the soil, skilled in English, know
ing hardly any other mother
tongue, and no mother country ex-
cept Hawaii.
The stamp Of civilization has
been set upon this country by the
Anglo Saxon. 1t is he who has
given it new language, he who
has made its laws, it's government,
its religion, its social ideas and
measures. The Anglo Saxon by
the force of intelligence and en-
ergy, has put his mark upon Ha-
waii, making it potentially an
American commonwealth, Homo
lulu a subtropical American town.
In this atmosphere of American
life and ideas the Portuguese are
growing up, taking their tone and
opinions from their surroundings,
and furnishing the raw material
for good American citizens. We
firmly believe they will prove an
element of strength in the future
civilization of the country.
AS to the purposes of the Gov
eminent in the matter, we do not
doubt that they are sincere, and
that everything will be done to
secure Portuguese. The attitude |
of the unemployed Portuguese,
however, is somewhat discourag-
ing. 1t is anomalous, not to say |
absurd, to send out of the country |
for Portuguese when the unem-
ployed of the same race who are
here, decline the work that
is offered. The prejudice exist
ing among the foreign popula-
ton against plantation work
is unfortunate, though not al
yays unfounded. 1t is one of
the great obstacles in the way of
raising the plantation standard.
Managers, however, can themselves
DO much, and some of them have
done much, to increase the comfort
and attractiyeness of plantation
life, and thus remove all justifica-
ton for any prejudice which may
exist against it.

March II, 1894.

Every smoker knows that
when certain brands of tobac-
CO, cigars or cigarettes are
first introduced to the public
their quality is superior. The
finest leaf is selected and I'M
usual attention is devoted to
the treatment and manufac-
ture. Being a superior arti-
Gle for the money than the
consumer has been accustom-
ed to smoking the sale reaches
enormous figures. In six
months the article becomes
known by the name rather
than for it's quality, because
once the demand is created
the manufacturer looks out for
a way to recoup himself for
the expense of introduction by
advertising and the extraor-
binary quality of material
used. Usually drugs are re-
sorted to because of their
rheapness and seductive quail
ties and the consumer seldom
notices the difference until his
health begins to fail. So much
for tobacco.
There are other articles that
meet with the same sort of
treatment, but who would
suspect that axle grease was
one of them? One brand has
been on the market so many
years that it is sold entirely
by the name, quality has moth
ing to do with it; we sell it
and every other dealer does,
because some people want it,
but we have a better article
for less money in Monogram"
Axle Grease, for which we are
sole agents for the Islands. A
drayman whose wagons carry
tons and tons of freight during
a year has been using it for
the past three months pro-
nounces it superior to any
thing he has ever tried and our |
arrangements with the manu-
tacturers are such that they |
are obliged to keep the article
up to it's present standard.
We have it in large sized |
buckets which sell at $1.75
each or in small wood boxes
sold singly or in cases. This
grease has been tried side by
side with other makes and
proven better in every r. pect.
We would be glad ~ have
your order for d box, q bucket
or a case.
