DEDICATION OF PAUAHI HALL.

The laying of the cornerstone of
the new building, at Punahou
should not be an idle ceremony. 1t
has a deep, and indeed solemn,
significance at the present time, for
it is an event in the creation of
educational institutions, which will
have much to do with the future
population of these islands.
We said the other day, in these
columns, that the Anglo-Saxon can
maintain his dominance here only
by the use of his brains. He must
confront other races, who have
brains, too; but, his must be the
master. To equip that brain, so
that it can do the superior work, is
the task before our educators. The
outlook is not very encouraging,
but the issue must be met, or we are
lost, or, rather, we shall be absorbed
by other races.
When the Englishmen wished
to dominate Europe, they took Gil
bralter, and commanded the sea
ways to the Mediterranean. If
the American wishes to DOM
mate the Pacific, in these
days of peace and not OF
war, he must construct his solid
Gibraltar of education here. He
cannot wait and dream about it.
He must do it now. Punahou must
be a spot for the education OF
men and women in the highest
sense. Its course must be kept
abreast with the best systems of the
world, just as nations must keep
abreast of the latest improvements
in arms, and warfare. And, as we
have said before, it must be so
thoroughly organized, that it will
attract youth to these islands.
Many of those present at the
exercises, yesterday, and who wit
messed the final act of the laying of
the cornerstone, by President Dole,
took a flying leap backward, in
memory, to the period fifty years
ago. when his father was the master
of the school in its humble begin
ming. He, indeed, in his dreams,
would hardly have pictured the
the scene of yesterday, when his
son, the President of Republic,
laid the cornerstone Of an edifce,
which is destined to become an inn
portant factor in Hawaiian history.

TIE MASSACRE AT PORT ARTHUR.

The correspondent of the London
Times telegraphs that the Japan
csc were guilty of great cruelty to
the Chinese inhabitants, after the
capture of Port Arthur.
The atrocities were like those
committed by the Versailles troops
in the city of Paris in 1872, after
the Commune had surrendered.
We were present during a part OF
the time.
When a conquering army enters
place there are always foolish, in
discreet people, who, instead OF
quietly surrendering, fire on the
conquering troops from behind
windows and from the roofs of
houses. These attacks, which &C
complish nothing, simply madden
the invading army. It cannot
protect itself. The soldiers see
their comrades shot down, and
cannot return the fire. The de-
Tending army has surrendered, and
there should be no further fighting.
But the ignorant and excitable
populace continue a feeble and
useless war. The invading force
cannot be controlled, because
there is no longer ''fair fighting"
Then the atrocities begin. In Paris
over 10000 men and women
men killed by the national troops.
A shot would be fred from the
top of five-story house, and sol
der be killed. Then the troops
would rush in and attack every
floor, and kill everyone in sight, as
the source Of the firing was not
known.
Undoubtedly there were the same
conditions in Port Arthur. The
Chinese residents foolishly attacked
the Japanese troops after the sur
render, and fred upon them from
concealed places. 1t is one of the
terrible incidents of war. The Jap
anese have steadily declared for
humane war, whatever that term
means. But their troops have act
ed as all troops act, in any coun-
try, when maddened by shots from
secret places. It cannot be helped.
1t is the incident of the capture of
any large town.
1t will be recalled that the Ger
man troops, on entering Paris, after
the surrender in 1872, marched up
one broad avenue and stopped.
They did not penetrate the city.
Won Moltke knew that if he entered
the streets, near the central points,
excited French people, who were
not soldiers, would FIRE on his men,
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1894-12-13

and that they would retaliate in a
general massacre. He, and the
French generals, sought to avoid it.
The explanation which We have
given will, no doubt, be the one
sent to the Japanese Government.

Avery Stubble Digger last
week still has his eye on
it, but he has moved it to his
plantation, where, under his
vine and fig tree, he can sit and
watch the wonderful work it is
doing.
The difficulty which island
steamers have experienced
during the past two weeks in
making landings on Maui and
Hawaii is great big point in
the argument favoring the
building of an island cable by
the government. Even though
it would not pay expenses dur
ing the first two years, the
advantage it would be to every
one on the islands would be so
fully recognized at the end of
that period that after that time
it would be self supporting,
and possibly profitable. Let
the agitators agitate and the
enthusiasts enthuse.
Solid silverware that goes to
you at Is per cent. less than
you have ever paid for the
same quality should be induce
ment enough for every one to
use solid ware instead of plat
ed. Our assortment contains
some beautiful single pieces
and sets, so pretty in fact that
they will not remain long with
US. You cannot all get the
best; the early bird gets the
rose bug. If you do not feel
that you can afford solid goods,
we can accommodate you in
the plated line and serve you
Just as satisfactorily. We
have been careful in our selec-
tons buying only what is really
useful and of good value to
our customers.
If you have never used a
Diets oil stove with an oven
and real cooking utensils, you
probably do not know its
value; you're probably "agin"
oil stoves, because the small
one you have had smoked and
blackened your saucepan. Do
not estimate the convenience
and worth of a Dietz by COM
parison with one of the small
sort. The plan upon which the
large ones are built precludes
the possibility of smut, smell or
explosion. 1t will cook a meal
for two cents and give you as
much satisfaction as an iron
stove. You may use it in any
part of the house without the
labor and trouble of removing
the stove pipe; the Dietz is its
own smoke consumer and
needs no pipe to carry it off.
We sell them complete at a
price that will surprise you.
Among our silverware, Gan
additional lot by the Australia)
we find some very elegant
TASKS, mems size, which will
be appreciated by those who
need a little drop O suthin'
to keep their spirits up. We
have smaller sizes, both plain
and engraved.
The new refrigerators, the
alaska" is the best we have
ever seen. The air channels |
are constructed so that the
air strikes the ice directly on
top and must go entirely |
around it and become
thoroughly cooled before it de-
cends to the compartment for
meats, etc. The Alaska is by
far the best made refrigerator
we have ever handled. II is
