Southern Indiana Teachers and the
School Tax.

At the seventeenth annual con.
vention of the Southern Indiana
Teachers Association, which was
held at Rockport in April, the fol-
lowing resolution was passed:
RESOLVED, That we favor the
restoration Of the State tax to rate
|of Is cents on the hundred dollars
and shall use our best efforts to Sc
cure action in this direction by oul
next Legislature.
This is good resolution; had
other counties fought against this
reduction two years ago rs Dubois
county did, there would have beer
no reduction. Better learn late thar
never. The Indiana School Journal
in speaking of this reduction truth
fully says:
"The State is the educationa
unit. 1t is the State that undertake,
to see that the children of the Stat,
are educated. 1t makes the law.
under which the schools are con
|ducted; it provides for raising al
moneys and pays part Of it direct
ly; and it does all this in the inter
est Of good citizenship. In orde
that all the children of the STATE
may have approximately equal ed
|ucational advantages, it collects
money in proportion to the wealth
and pays it out in proportion to TIN
number Of children. BY this rul'
the wealthy communities pay il
most money, and the poorer com
munities having most children re
|ceive most. This is as it should be
for the whole State is interested il
having all its children educated. |
the above principle is correct it wa
a mistake for the Legislature to- re
lduce the 16 cent tax to 13la cents
and the next Legislature oughtto re
store the original figure"
The pupils of Dubois county will
feel this reduction, particularly thos
in the town of Birdseye, and tn
township Of Jefferson; not only wi
school days be shorter, but take
have already been higher, on az
count Of the States reduction. LIZ

1t has been suggested often and
by many persons that there should
be a suitable monument erected in
Petersburg to the memory OF the
Union soldiers Of the late war who
enlisted from Pike county. A mon

would demonstrate to the old veter-

HAwAII'S REAL CRISIS.


Is the Annexation Cause Now in Dire
Peril ? A Correspondents View.
EDITOR STAR: 1t is the opinion of
the undersigned, who has followed Ha-
waiian events closely for long time,
that the actual crisis is now at hand.
There has at no time been any likeli-
hood of restoration in the light of
permanent return to monarchy. AT no
time, under the conditions heretofore
existing has there been any doubt as to
annexation to the United States ulti-
mately. Now, with the prospect of
most marked change in our local policy,
there is grave doubt about the second
proposition here advanced. This is why
! | maintain that the actual crisis is at
/ hand.
| The Provisional Government has pro.
| iecled some anti-Chinese legislation.
| The Chinese hold mass meeting and
protest against the act. They are not
only permitted to give expression to
sentiments which, coming from any
other race, would he called incendiary,
but they are encouraged in their defiant
attitude 10y persons of prominence, in
fluence and position.
Now annexation sentiment in the
United States is strongest on the Pacific
Coast. There, also, anti-ChiGese senti-
ment is strongest. The Annexationists
here place themselves, or rather allow
themselves to be cajoled and scared into
the position of befrlending Chinese.
How will our friends on the Coast take
this? They will cool. They will not be
so anxious to take us into the family
With indifference on the Coast annexa'
ton might as well be dropped. 1t will
wink out if that indifference exists.
The only thing to do, then, is to meet
this crisis boldly and to dispose of tn,
: flaw in our passport to the Union one,
and for all. Proceed. with the anti
l Chinese legislation on the lines marked
! out in the original act. Don't allow
fright to come from gathering of thu
! colony with its boasts of supportin;
Honolulu business men, of reclaiminl
the soil and of having men-ofwar a
> the back. If you hesitate now, Cali
! fornia will never take up this question
K again, and that will mean that it vii
e never again become live subject i
u the United States.
II 1t seems to me that the stores q
II Honolulu would do better if the CHI
D nese here were replaced by men an
1 women who used European food an
: clothing. 1t seems TO me that If tn
g Chinese have increased the value of rio
u lands, they alone enjoy the benefits.
seems to me that Tor people who sen
II all their surplus money back to the
u , mother country, and whose allegianC
II is always there, they have small clail
&c upon this nation. PROTECTION.

PORTUGUESE AHRANGINo FOR \
MASS MEETING.
Fearful Of the Chinese Say - Race Issue
HAS Ari~cn-A Central Commit
tee Gail.

The Portuguese colony is thoroughly
aroused over the situation rs affected by
the action of the Chinese. A mass meet
ing OF the Portuguese was projected to
be held some day last week for n dis
cussion of affairs generally. Some mat
tiers in which they were particularly in
tercsted took ON the appearance of
having adjusted themselves. For this
reason talk of the gathering was drop
ped. 1t has been taken up again i'm deep
earnestness. Tonight there Will be held
a meeting of the central committee of
the Portuguese Political Union organ
lied last March, At this committee
session arrangements will be made for "a
big mass meeting. The general gather
ing will most likely occur on Sunday.
An influential and in every way repre-
sentative member of the Portuguese
colony said this morning:
"rhe Chinese are more harmful to us
than to any other nationality here They
drive our race from the fields and
shut us out almost entirely from
working at the trades, conducting
small shops and gardening Very few
other Europeans will undertake labor
with cane. We can do it as well as the
Chinese, and in the long run Portuguese
labor is cheaper. We marry and have
families. We buy from the clothing
and shoe stores and from the grocery
houses. We become Hawaiians, or
Americans. We become q part of the
population. The Chinese always re
main by themselves. A Portuguese gets
hold of patch of land, builds him a
house, and will stay. He does not save
every cent to get enough to
go back to his old country. The issue
is squarely made between the Chinese
and Portuguese. We believe we should
have the preference and will ask for it,
As you have pointed out in your paper
more Portuguese immigrants can be had
to till the soil. But they will not come
if the Chinese get the upper hand"

The North Pacific Phosphate and
Fertiizing Company has leased the
guano islands owned by the Hawaiian
Government. Hackfeld & Co. are
the principal stockholders in this
corporation. They get the
exclusive use of the guano deposits on
the islands by paying 80 cents on every
ton of matter removed. This transac-
ton will add quite sum to the revenue
of the Government. The figure was the
upset price. There was only one
bidder.
All the material taken from these isl
ands. which are 700 to 400 miles dis
tant, will be brought to Honolulu.
From the vessels in the service the
cargoes will be taken to the fer
tilizing works on the line of the
Oahu railway and near town. This
establishment will produce about 1000
annually of fertilizer, of which there
will be immediate sale. Besides bene.
fitting cultivation of the soil, the bust.
ness will employ quite force.
