this matter was under confederation, q
letter was received by the president Of

pany, P0ul Conrad, from Mr.. P. w,

would give him some assistance. This
letter was referred to me. ] immedi-

Kline and went TO Kansas City, Kan., TO
see him. He informed me Of the wild
and reckless manner their concern were
doing business and that tho governor
and attorney general were poWsFless to
Aght them without financial Assis tanOO
! informed him that the company would
not bO party to brlbe Of any ChRrRC-

said no. the gamblers were all powerful

nSy general felt that they would not be
sustained in the expenditure Of money
to destroy them, but that IL the company
would furnish the money, he could guar
sntee their suppression, stc.

James LOgats in Chicago, and an agree

received from me in cash 5000 and l
was to make four more payments Of

CORRESPONDENCE.
Where Are We Drifting?

Mr.. EDITOR The ship of State
has been duly launched. A gallant
and trusted commander directs her
course. But how is it between
decks? Are the affairs of the diff
ferent departments from stem to
stern administered in an impartial,
unbiased manner? Let US glance
at a few facts.
After neglecting his school for
political matters, D. II. Kahaulelio,
principal of the Government school
at Napoopoo, South Kona, leaves
his school without substitute and
goes to Honolulu May 23d as dele
gate to the Constitutional Conven-
ton. The Board of Education is
compelled to employ teacher in
his place, and although he received
the same remuneration as other
members of the Convention, he is
allowed his full salary as teacher
of the Napoopoo school, for May,
June and July, the same as if he
was performing his duties as teach
er. Other teachers must 60 plod-
ding on at their schools. Were
they to neglect their calling for po-
litical honors, or personal advan-
tage, a reprimand or dismissal
would ensue.
In the same district-for miscon-
duct-two teachers are dismissed
at the close of the school term in
July, but are allowed to draw their
salaries up to the end of the school
year, the same as teachers in good
standing.
How such disbursements can be
audited and found correct" is a
query. Much has been said
about the equalization of salar-
les under the newly appointed
Board. Is this equalization ?
Should not the trustees of public
funds set apart for educational
purposes, disburse the same for i'm
perative needs and specified SER
vices, and not for favoritism or po-
litical ends. Such unjustifiable
squandering of public funds will
ALLEVIATE the best friends of the
present administration, and give
their enemies just cause for CEN
sure.
Had these things occurred in the
Gibson regime, methinks the howl
would have re-echoed from Hawaii
to Niihau!

CIVILIZING AFRICA.
How Rhodes Company is Doing 1t
In LO Bengula's Country.

Buluwayo has been on the spree
for weeks and weeks, and the state
of drunkenness and gambling
which exists there is shocking.
Farm rights change hands there
daily, the company's volunteers
disposing of theirs for various sums
down to ESQ, and whether the
amount they receive is high or low
they drink it out forthwith. Bulu-
wayo is at present, in fact, town
ship of canteens, and looking at
the state of affairs which has pre-
vailed there (among the whites)
since it was made settlement it
is impossible to say that the rule
of Lo Bengula has been succeeded
by anything better. One cannot
help wishing, if not that the I'm
perial Government had never al
lowed the company to assume the
government of the country, at least
that the company would copy the
policy of the Imperial Government
in Bechuanaland. In the whole of
British Bechuanaland and the
protectorate there is not a canteen,
except one each at the two princi-
pal camps of the B. B. P. Licen-
ses are refused to all applicants
who cannot show that they pro-
vide ample accommodation for
man and beast; place must be
either a wayside inn or hotel,
and the town drinking shop is I'M
known throughout the length and
breadth of the land.-Bechuana-

of the sailors knocking a few Ha-
waiians down. The Hawaiians
objected, and then came the
battle. Five sailors, with dubbed
muskets rushed boldly on the
stage and attacked the band of
natives, who were armed with
spears. The English were over
come, but not until nearly all on
both sides had been killed. One
native, getting unduly excited,
jabbed his spear at one of the
Champions sailors, knocking
two teeth out in reality, and there
came near being a fight in earnest,
Cooks death was very pathetic.
A native chief, who weighed about
twice as much as the valiant cap
tain, stabbed him with what looked
like tent-stake. Both fell to the
ground, supposedly dead. This
was where the curtain was sup
posed to drop. But there was a
hitch in the proceedings, and the
curtain didn't come down. In the
midst of the deafening stiffness
which greeted the closing scene,
the dead Cooks voice could be
heard shouting, 'sFor heavens sake
lower that curtain !"
After the main play was over,
came the "Grand Volcanic Spec
tacle of .Kapiolani Defying the
Goddess of Pele." This was sup
posed to be the chef d'oevre of the
evening, and it was. The part of
Kapiolani was to have been taken
by Theresa Cartwright, but at the
last minute Robert objected, and
she had to find a substitute. The
substitute was a stage struck
damsel from Maui, who will prob
ably not adopt the stage as pro-
fession. The Goddess of Pele, who
was to be defed, had only had her
part given to her that afternoon
and had not learned it. When the
two came on the stage the gallery
began to sing a hula kui. This
ratified the actresses, and they
came near forgetting their parts
completely. Kapiolani got through
hers some way, but she forgot the
last part of it. Then she turned to
the audience and said, in native,
THAT is all | can remember, and
you'd better go home" This
brought down the house, but the
advice was taken.

bar and quite number of business
men.
The government band was sta
toned on the veranda and played
lively airs at intervals. The exter-
Tors of the stores along Nuuanu

lanterns last night. During the
day flags were flying about town

Apparently Hill's friends have given
up all hope of getting anything from the
President to help along the campaign.
for they have begun to vigorously de-
nounce him, which they would hardly
do If all hope were not gone. Of course
the Sun leads off. and in this fashion:
Mr.. Grover Cleveland was never more
ike himself than when he SUNK away
to Washington on Thursday. He had re-
fused to lift pen or say word in be-
half of the New York Democracy, which
picked him up from the foot of the Erie
county gallows and made him Governor
and President. He had seen the Demo-
Gratis of New York fighting for the life
of their party against a combination of
Repu blicans made confident OF victory
by his amazing blunders, and treacher-
Gus Democrats of the faction he had
made it study TO encourage and reward
and he would not help his party. He
preferred to continue to help the Repub-
hcans and the traitors. Senator Hill
had done valiantFse service for him in his
campaigns, and he would do nothing
for Senator Hill, now fighting, against
reat odds, the most gallant of his
many battles for the Democracy. The
Democats of other states looked to Mr..
Cleveland as the tituiar head of his par
ty to aid bysall legitimate meansythe can
vass of the New York Democrats be-
cause the hopes of the National Democ-
racy are bound up in the success of that
canvass. Experience should have
taught the Democrats better. They
should have known before this that
he regards it as the sole duty and pur-
pose of the Democratic party to keep
him in office 1t doesn't occur to him
that there is any obligation on his part
to do anything for the party.

The registration in New York and
Brooklyn beats anything ever known IN
an off year before. Friday was the third
day, and the total in New York was 1884,
747, against S07, 1888 in 1885,, land 214. .917 in
1891. In 1892, the total for the first
three days was a72, ,152. So it will be
seen that as many peopls in that county
are interested in this years contest as
there were i'll the last presidential cleo
ticn. In Brooklyn the registration this
year even exceeds that Of 1892, it being
l69, 178. against lG5, ,0b8 two years ago. 1t
is pretty safe to say that this big turn
out of voters isn't for the purpose of en-

One OF the ayowed purposes OF the
Democratic revision of the tariff was to
open foreign markets to the American
producer. How well it has been accom-
plisbed may be inferred from consider
alton of some well known facts. Since
the German billsbecame a law, Spain has
imposed discriminating tariff on Amer
lean breadstuns and manufactured ar.
ticles, so that the Cuban market, which
had become a valuable one uuder the
Mckinley law. is practically closed to us.
The reciprocity treaty with Brazil has
been abrogateG, and the CONCESSIONS
which that country made to us is a thing
of the past. The otkel reciprocity treat
les with the South American republics
will soon go, if they have not already,
and the profitable, trade which we were
gradually building up arrested indefin-
itely. And now Germany has placed a
prohibitive tariff on American beef for
the ostensible purpose of keeping out
the Texas cattle fever, but with the
real intent of retaliating for the excln-
sion from this country of her beet root
sugar. And all these profitable sources
of trade have been destroyed by the tax
on sugar-a tax that was not needed for
reyenue-aud which, while big enough
to destroy the reciprocity treaties, was
not big enough to give the American
sugar growers adequate protection.
