THE FREE FOREIGN KINDERGARTEN.

The announcement is made tbi;
morning that the kindergarten for
foreign children will be opened on
Monday, September TO- An exper-
fenced instructor, Miss Eastman,
has been secured from San Fran
cisco, and the quality of instruc-
ton will be in no way inferior to
/ that in the best kindergartens
abroad. There are already four
/ free kindergartens, one each for
Hawaiians, Portuguese, japanese,
and Chinese, and the one now to be
begun is for the children Of the
other foreign races.
The new school like the others
will be free. At the same time those
parents who are able, and who feel
disposed to do so, may contribute
to the general fund for all the kin
dergartens, and such contributions,
no matter how small they may be,
will be gratefully appreciated by
the management. In case there
are more applications for admis-
sion than can be accommodated,
preference will be given to the
children of those parents whose
means are most limited, as the
school is, of course, especially in
tended for such.
Miss Eastman will also begin a
training class for teachers. The
work viii be Of the same kind as
that done in similar schools in
San Francisco, and will entitle
those who have taken it to the
same certificate.
When it is remembered that the
kindergarten schools of Honolulu
are little more than IA year old,
the progress which has already
been made seems equally crafty |
ing and wonderful. At the same
time it must be borne in mind |
that what has been thus far done
is only a beginning. Schools must |
be established on Hawaii, Maui |
and Kauai, until all the little
children of all the various races
which inhabit these islands can
have the benefit Of good and help
full and happy influences in the
years when such influences mean
everything.

ANENT THE TARIFF.
4 Lister from Mr. Lilienthal, Of
San Francisco.

Mr.. Lilienthal, of San Francisco,
writes as follows in a letter to Col.
G. W. Macfarlane, By the Ala
media:
The steamer that left Victoria on
August 18th will have appraised you
of the passage of the Senate bill,
though same has not yet become
a law. Cleveland has gone to Gray
Gables, and it is possible he may
permit the bill to become a law
without his signature, which will
take until August 25th. The free
sugar bills introduced into the
House are, in my judgment, clap
trap. l do not believe, following
the statements of both Cleveland
and Carlisle, that We shall have
free sugar during the present adj
ministratiOn, as it is a revenue
easily collected and absolutely
necessary for revenue. 1t means
an era of prosperity for the next
three years for the islands

TRUE TO ANNEXATION.

One of the royaiist papers pre-
tends that the government has
abandoned the policy of annexa-
ton, because President Dole's re-
ply to Minister Willis, last Mon
day, made no allusion to the sub
ject. The inference is wanting in
all plausibiiity, and has not the
smallest foundation in fact. In
the absence Of any indication that
the Cleveland administration has
any desire for annexation, in the
presence of a number of indications
TO 2 directly opposite effect, any
allusion to the subject on the part
of President Dole would have been
uncalled for. It would have
amounted to an introduction of
controversial matter into friendly
meeting. Good taste and common
sense both suggested omission of
all reference to the subject.
The policy of tie Hawaiian
Government continues to be the
same policy of political union with
the United States which came to
the front on January II, 1898, and
which has stayed at the front ever
The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1894-08-31

since. If Hawaii does not become
a part of the Union, it will be
because the Union does not want
her. The obstacle will be in Wash
ington not in Honolulu. The rea-
sons for annexation which were
valid two years ago, are 10 less
valid today. There is only one
cause which can solidify all the
opponents of monarchical govern
ment in this country, and that is
the cause of annexation. 1t will
not be betrayed, and in the end,
it must inevitably win.

a CURIOUS transportation has
taken place in the positions of the
royalist journals. The Bulletin
which was once supposed to be the
organ Of the moderates, has as
sumed a role Of stupid obstinacy
ia comparison with which the atti-
tude Of the Holomua is reasonable
ress itself The Bulletin admits
the bare fact Of recognition, but
claims that recognition amounts
10 nothing, aud hints that Presi
dent Cleveland will soon overturn
tue Republic. This view substan-
TALLY accords with that of Ka Leo,
and recalls the time when the edi-
tor- # the two papers were candi-
dates ON the same platform.

THE Holomua is greatly exer-
cised over the proposition 10 intro
dgce electric cars into this city,
because these cars are supposed 10
be dangerous, when operated by
the trolley system. No doubt
there Is certain small quantum
Of danger connected with the troll
ley system, at least, if the Ameri-
can comic papers are-entitled to
any crsdence No one, however,
proposes to compel the members
If ihe Holomua staff 10 ride in the
cars, aud if they are afraid, they
can walk.

VIEW OF TIE KOWSHUNG
INCIDENT.

The Japanese papers both native
and English are full Of the Kow-
shung affair, which they dis
cuss from every point OF view.
The Japan Mail, in long edi-
torial article which reviews all the
events leading up to the war, pub
fishes an account Of the sinking of
! the kowshung, which puts that
event in quite a different light
from that in which it has hitherto
been viewed. We quote as fol-
lows:
The Chinese men-Of-war, conveying
a transport bound for A-San, with
1900 troops on board, encountered and
fired upon three japanese cruisers.
One of the Chinese ships was taken:
another was so shattered that she had
to be beached and abandoned; the
third escaped to China in a dilapi-
dated condition, and the transport
was sunk, while the sum of the in
juries received by the japanese ships
was one she'll that penetrated the
engine room of the Naniwa Kan but
failed TO explode. Unfortunately, the
transport was British steamer char
tered by the Chinese ostensibly for
purposes of peaceful trade. Hence
question arose as to the prOpriety of
sinking her. The Tokyo Government,
foreseeing the possibility of such con
tinsencies, had been careful to avert
them by employing japanese owned
steamers alone for transport purposes.
But the Peking Government did not
exercise equal forethought, and thus,
at the crisis of the complication, a
British steamer was found carrying
Chinese troops and conveyed by Chi
nese men-Of-war prepared to fire upon
any Japanese cruiser that crossed
their path. 1t is not to be supposed
for an instant that Japan was bound
to refrain from opposing the transport
of troops to be employed against her
self merely because British steamer
had been chartered to carry them. If
one British steamer had the right to
perform such a service unmolested,
then a hundred or a thousand had an
equal right, and China might have
landed fifty thousand men in Korea
while Japan sat with folded hands.
The japan Mail is one Of the few
English newspapers published in
Japan which is friendly to the Jap
.anese cause, and it states its views
with force and moderation which
invite confidence. II is hardly
possible, however, at present, to
form a safe opinion on the Kow-
shung affair. The testimony of the
German officer, Won Hanneken, is
unfavorable to Japan, but the I'M
partiality of his testimony is to
some extent discounted by the fact
that he was in the Chinese service. !

The Alameda has arrived, and,
singularly enough, has failed to
bring the intelligence that Mr..
Cleveland has not recognized the
Republic, after all. This will be a
bitter blow to Mr.. Bush. If he
reads the American papers he will
be panied TO find that they are all
deluded enough to believe Ia the
reality Of recognition. No doubt,
however, when they have read the
Samoan ENJOYS mastery analysis
of President Clevelaud's letter they
will he freed from their decisions.

The TARIFF BILL.

! There seems to be no reasonable
doubt that the Tariff bill, which
has claimed the attention of Con
gress during the whole of the cur.
rent year, has at last become law
The universal assumption of all
the American papers was that the
bill would not be signed by Presi.
dent Cleveland, but would be al.
lowed to become a law without his
signature. Preparations were being
made in the Treasury department
to carry the provisions of the law
into effect, so that the intention of
the President must have been as
the Washington correspondents
have stated them. In that case,
the bill became law last Monday
at l is PM.
The Tariff bill is, in some re-
spects, an improvement on the
Mckinley Act, for it effects con-
siderable average reduction of du-
ties, and thus substitutes for an
extravagant protection a somewhat
more reasonable one. At the same
time it is essentially Protection
lists bill, and it fails to carry
out the solemn pledges of the
Democratic party. No doubt this
result was rendered inevitable by
the peculiar constitution of the two
houses Of Congress. This is, how
ever, no excuse for the party which
has had control ofall three branches
of the Government and has had
untranelIed opportunity to embody
the principles Of its platform in
law. 1t does not seem possible to
free the party leaders from the ac-
cusation of bad faith.
The difficulty with the Democrats
is that there are three Democratic
parties instead of one, each con-
trolling one Of the branches of
Government. The party itself is
divided on every one Of the great
issues which have come before it
since it attained power. 1t is di
vided on the silver question, the
tariff question, and the Hawaiian
question. On the first, the Presi-
dent was right, on the second, the
Senate, and on the third, the
House.
1t is no wonder that party thus
divided has not been able to satisfy
either the country or its own plat
form. It's no wonder that the diff
ferences between the President and
prominent Democratic Senators has
reached a stage Of acute hostility. |
The Republicans have their differ
ences, but they have succeeded in |
keeping them below the surface. I'M
ess the Democracy can attain some
unity with itself on the great ques-
ions Of home and foreign politics
t cannot hope to retain any lead
,rship. A house divided against
tself cannot stand.
There is no feature of the situa-
ion more painful than the great
influence which the money power
las been able to maintain in the
senate. The imperfect investiga-
ions which have been made have
established nothing directly, but
hey have intensified the public
uspicions. The censures des-
ri0ed 10y Mr.. Cleveland against
he Senate were certainly well
nerited. At the same time, the
Presidents own attitude toward
he Trust is not as clear as it is
esirable that it should be.

should become a law then for
the first time in nearly thirty
years an amendment will be
tackled on TO the Constitution.
1t is probable too that some of
the men who now assist in
making laws governing the
free and enlightened citizens
of the Republic across the sea
will be retired to private life.
1t is easier to pull the wires
on fifty or a hundred people
than to work up enthusiasm
in a whole district. But
money talks in any commun-
ity and its stentorian tones
may still be heard in the land.
All senators may not be
wealthy so that there is likely
to be a change in the roster of
the Senate and the million
aires retreat may have some
poor but honest" members.
There does not seem to be
any change in the opinions of
the masses regarding the quail
ity of our wire. We believe
we import and sell more than
any other dealer in Honolulu
and if we are right in our con-
lectures it is apparent that it
is because we sell the best
quality for the least money.
Until the tariff goes On Sugar
people are going to go slow
about improvements and those
that are made are done at the
least possible expense. Fen
cling is something that must be
done if crops are to be saved
from the depredations of cat
tie; the cheaper it can be
done the better for the owner,
and the man who uses the
Jones Locked Fence gets not
only a cheaper article but a
much stronger one than he
would by building an ordinary
affair with posts and wire.
Illustrations of what can be
done with a Jones Locked
Fence may be seen on many
plantations on these Islands
and where our claims for
superiority have been practic-
ally demonstrated by the re-
sistence it has offered to the
attacks of unrefned cattle.
The steel wire stays and
washers are cheaper than
posts and our black or galvan-
lied fence wire is cheaper
than you have any idea OF.
Have you ever been in a
house where they are using
one of our porcelain lined
bath tubs? If you have you
noticed that there
was an entire absence of cob
webs and reaches. You do
not find such cleanliness
where a common zinc tub is
because they are set in aroom
so as to make good nests for
vermin. The porcelain lined
tub is superior in other re-
spects: it can always be kept
clean because the surface is
the same as China
wash bowl; it will last a life
Time because there is nothing
about it to wear out and the
elegant finish to it is a guar
lntee that it will always re-
main new looking. As a mat
'er of fact a porcelain lined
jub IS no more expense than a
inc lined tub when you take
I'll things into consideration.
