LEGAL1zING the municipal own
ership of telephone systems in Eng
land is soon to be settled by the
report of commission of the House
of Commons appointed to investi-
gate the claims of the advocates
and opponents of the measure. 1t
is stated on good authority that the
committee will render a decision
against municipal ownership.
Many European cities control their
telephone systems and an attempt
has been made to prove that the
service has been cheaper and better
in consequence than when in the
hands of private companies. On
the other hand the English COM
panies have given statistics prov
ing that Great Britain has more
telephone subscribers than any
other European country, and that
the cities of Hamburg and Berlin,
where the telephone system is
operated by the government, the
charges are not sufficient to pay
the running expenses. While the
companies may have won over the
majority of the committee, it is
reasonable to predict that the
turning over of their lines to the
people is only a question of time.
Following out their argument it
might be said that the annual def
cheney in the United States postal
bureau is proof that the postal
service ought to be turned over to
private companies.

ANOTHER good deed has been
credited to the bicycle. The United
States Tobacco Journal charges
that during the last year the con-
sumption of cigars has been reduced
by 7O0,OO0,0O0 by the wheeling
habit, the explanation being that
men are not apt to smoke while
riding bicycle. These figures do
not tally with those of the United
States revenue department, which
shows a large increase in the con-
sumption of cigars. Whatever fall
ing off in the consumption of to-
bacco may be chargeable to, the
bicycle is probably the result of a
man saving his cigar money to buy
a wheel, and whatever the cause the
result is a good one. Cycling is
certainly more healthful and in
MIGRATING than the use of tobacco.

GOVERNMENT KINDERGARTEN.

In the local columns of this
paper the statement was made yes
terday that the Government
kindergarten began work with a
good attendance" Although the
kindergartens Of this city are not
now and never have been under
the control of the Government we
trust that the day is not far dis
tant when the work in these schools
will be made a part of the public
school system. AS has been the
case in nearly all reforms, the pre-
liminary labor of proving the prac-
ticability of the kindergarten
movement has fallen on the ehoul.
ders-and pocket-books-of pri-
vate individuals. In this instance,
the thoughtful mothers of this and
other progressive countries have
demonstrated beyond the posi-
bility of a doubt, the value of
the training which is now to be OBJ
tanned through the child garden.
A report made in 1893 shows that
of the 5000 children in the kinder
gartens of San Francisco only three
have become inmates of reforma-
tories. A large proportion of this
5000 came from the lower classes
that usually furnish the majority
of the candidates for penal institu-
tions. For this reason, if no other,
any Government can well afford to
invest literally in the kindergarten
movement. The city of St. Louis
has done it and is satisfied with the
result; Japan is also making moves
in this direction. 1t is certainly
poor economy for Hawaii with its
mixed population and so much de-
pending on the proper education of
the children of different nationali-
ties, to let slip single opportunity
that will aid in raising the stand
ards of life of the boys and girls of
today who are to be the men and
women of tomorrow.

THE YOUTH OF QUEEN VICTORIA.

The recently published book,
"Queen Victoria's Childhood and
Youth" by Mr.. Fawcett, gives
some strong evidence of the fact
that people in high life do not al
ways make up a happy family and
that rank and power do not bring
peace of mind.
William ", who disliked the
Duchess of Kent, the mother of
Queen Victoria, at his birthday
banquet in 1886, in the presence of
a hundred guests, with the Duchess
of Kent seated by his side in &C.
cordance with royal etiquette, made
speech in which he spoke of the
Duchess "as a person now near to
me, who is surrounded by evil ad-
visers, and who is incompetent
herself to act with propriety in the
station in which she would be
placed" if she became Regent.
There are several anecdotes given
of the coarseness and rudeness of
the royal family. Queen Victoria
in after years wrote of her uncle,
Leopold, who always renal ned her
strong friend and adviser, cit is the
name that is deared to me, after
one which recalls the al
most only happy days of my sad
childhood" With all the resources
of the social world of England at
her command, and with the expec-
tation of becoming the ruler of
Great Britain, she was not exempt
from the small annoyances which
makes the life of common people a
burden,

LOOSE METHODS IN HILo.

A visitor in Hilo during the re-
cent panic in that place states that
the passengers of the Claudine
were compelled to battle in tubs on
Cocoanut Island and submit their
clothing to fumigation. After eight
days of quarantine, they were
taken in scow over to the town,
and the male passengers were
stripped, stood up in line and
washed down with some prepare
ton by the physician, and their
clothes again fumigated. The
women were treated in the same
way. AS the people of Hilo who
led in this singular crusade felt
that the medical authorities of the
United States and Europe were in
competent to give advice in this
matter, and they were left to adopt
their own far-reaching methods, it
seems to us that they did not go
far enough. Their system was quite
too loose, and they have left myri-
ads of loopholes, through which
able-bodied germs may enter the
homes of Hilo. No passenger should
have been turned loose until: First,
the stomach pump had been ap-
piled elk times on the last day, and
any sneaking germs forced up and
out; second, the head of every
one had been shaved clean;
third, every passenger had been
skinned, just as the Indians skin
their prisoners, but, of course, with
a more lofty motive; fourth, instead
of washing down each person with
some solution, the effects of which
soon pass away, the Hilo fre-engine
should have played a solution of
whitewash on the stripped passen-
gers, and this should be repeated
every day for two months; fifth,
the clothing should have been
burned up instead of being fumi-
gated; sixth, effective measures
should have been taken to
prevent the diseased fish from
the waters of Honolulu har-
Dor from entering Hilo bay, while
the fumigated passengers were cor
rallied on Cocoanut Island.
1t may be said that this is Hilo's
first experience. On the arrival of
the next panic she will do better
and be more stringent. AS an old
lady on King street, who has now
been living for four weeks only on
boiled water and fumigated hard
tack, says, an ounce of prevention
ia etc.

Now that the restriction on fish
is raised, we shall have an opportun-
ity to see to what degree the ignorant
classes will exercise their common
sense and honesty. Should it be-
come known to any person that at
tempts are being made to bring
fish into the city that lave not
passed the inspection of the Board
of Health agents, the fact should
at once be reported to headquar.
tiers. Hearty cooperation on the
part of residents is factor quite as
important now as during the dark
est days of the month just passed.
In allowing the fish trade to be re-
sumed the Board will do well to
adopt, for time at least, the sys-
tenn in vogue at Waianae Of clean
ing and rinsing the fish in boiling
water before distributing them.

"GIoom and not glee characterizes
all the public feeling the Bulletin has
come in contact with regarding the
financial misunderstanding Bulle-
tin.
WELL said Evidently the Bull
letin has not come in contact with
sail" the public feeling. So long
as the Bulletin continues 10 look
for financial gloom it will probably
find plenty of it. There never has
lived a voluntary pessimist who
cannot by continually cropping
about in the GLOOM" make him
self believe that not only the Ha-
waiian Islands, but the whole
world, is going to the dogs as fast as
possible. Until the Bulletin shows
some disposition to come out of the
valleys and shadows of useless
criticism, it will always find all
gloom and no glee.

JUDGE WILSON, of Cincinnati,
during the trial of an alimony case,
recently made the statement that
any man who gives all his salary
to bis wife is q fool" to which the
New York Sun replies The best
thing many man can do with
his earnings is to turn them
over to his wife. If she's bad
woman, unworthy of the trust, God
help him He is a wretched crea-
ture. If she is a vain and silly
and self-indulgent woman, he has
a load on his back which will be
likely to keep him down always.
A woman to whom q poor man
cannot trust his money is no fit
wife for him" 1t all depends on
the woman, but it is safe to state
that if Judge Wilson's recommend
alton were put to a popular vote of
the married men, be would be

IT is now stated that the Gov.
eminent is considering a new form
of treatment for Nuuanu stream,
the scheme being to continue the
wall near the st. Louis College so
as to give the stream a straight
away course 10 the harbor. As
has been previously suggested by
this paper, this latest plan is
undoubtedly the best one from
a sanitary standpoint, but it neces
states condemning private prop
erty, which judging from the price
placed on the property on the east
side OF the stream will increase
the cost TO such an extent as to
make it impracticable. 1t would
seem reasonable to expect a spirit
of maguanimity TO obtain among
these property holders, in view of
the enhanced value of all land in
this district in consequence of the
Government improvements. If this
cannot De, let the original plan be
followed. The people are anxi-
ously awaiting the Inauguration of
the work.

WOMEN AS TEACHERS.

The last report CT the Federal
Commissioners of Education shows
that 65 so per cent. of the teachers
in the United States are women,
and that this proportion is more
likely to be increased than dimin-
isbed. That women are particu-
larly adapted to teach young
children has long been recognized,
and of late years they have dem
onstrated their ability to fill execu-
tive positions in the higher grades.
But as the old fashioned school
master with his spare-the-rod-
spoil-the-child system has disap-
peare1, salaries have also taken a
downward tendency. In other
words, in this as in other lines
where women have taken the place
OF men, the women have proved a
bear on the salary market. They
will work for less and, other things
being equal, they get the positions.
AT the present time nearly all the
high salaried teachers are men, but
as the new woman begins to prove
her ability, even the men at the
top will have 10 look we'll to their
laurels. 1t is highly proper that
the high positions in educ ational
circles should be dealt out irrespec-
tive of the sex of the applicants,
but the new woman will be gaining
a point for teachers generally by
maintaining that the price put on
her brain power shall not be de-
creased simply because she is a
woman. The standard Of remuner-
alton for teachers is altogether too
low considering the capital that
must be invested By either men or
women in obtaining what is vir-
tually their stock in-trade.

.
The regular business meeting of
the Y. II. |. was held in Foster
hall last night, a goodly number
of members being present.
After transaction of routine mat
ters, election of officers was con-
sidered. 1t was decided to post
pone such election until next
Thursday evening in order to en-
able he secretaries to furnish
statements of the standing mem
bers.
Five new members were pro-
posed. Their applications will be
considered after the investigation
committee passes on them.
Reports showed the Institute in
a fourishing condition, with a large
and Influential membership roll.
When started year ago, only
seven members were present at the
first meeting. Now the Institute
boasts of 120 members, without
those who have not yet been initi-
ated.
The anniversary of the Y. II. 1.
will take place on the Oath of the

selections, will be rendered at that
time. This will be rare treat to
those fond Of hearing favorite airs

THE paper which reused the
most marked enthusiasm of the
scientists at the recent Geographical
Congress was introduced by the
Norwegian explorer, Borchgrevink,
the only navigator who has ever
landed on the Antarctic continent.
He left Campbell Island, followed
the track of Sir James Ross, who
sailed in the Erebus and Terror,
reached Cape Adsir in Victoria
Land, passed Possession Island,
where Ross landed, afterward re-
turned and landed at Cape Adair,
the first landing ever made on
continent twice as big es Europe,
which is supposed to cover most of
the Antarctic Zone. The Congress
passed a resolution recommending
the exploration of this Antarctic
continent as the greatest piece of
geographical work that remains to
be done.

BRIGHT, BUT BAD.

Editor C. A. Dana of the New
York Sun, says of VIM. Henry
Hurlbert, who recently died in
Italy:
To the natural gifts of genius an
education of extraordinary fullness
had been added, making him one of
the most accomplished and compre
hensive of scholars and the most
charming of conversationalists. There
was no subject within the range of
science, literature, philosophy, or
theology with which be did not seem
to be familiar; and it would have
been difficult to put question to him
in any one of these great lines of
human interests to which he could
not return an answer. His resources
of knowledge aud of thought were
most remarkable. In many years of
intercourse, and under circumstances
of every kind, we do not recall
an instance of his repeating an anec
dote, an observation, or an idea which
we had heard from him before. His
heart was as afectionate as his mind.
Mr.. Hurlbert in 1860 was on the
staff Of the \. Y. Times, and while
there wrote an editorial on the
Elbows of the Mincio," which be-
came celebrated as the worst mass
Of ''inebriated" jargon ever put
into the editorial columns of
paper. The edition was cancelled
so far as it could be. He became
proprietor of the n. Y. World
which he afterwards sold TO Mr..
Pulitzer. As a young man he
was considered to be without con-
science, in spite of his most extra
ordinary gifts. A few years ago
be took up his residence in Eng
land, became prominent as writer
in the Tory party, and through his
brilliancy obtained access to the
best society. Several years ago he
was prosecuted for seduction, and
his defense was that the letters
which were produced on the trial
in his handwriting were not his
own, but were forged by his secre-
tary. But he was never able to
give an account of this secretary,
or give any information about him.
The trial was one of the most
notorious in England. English
society dropped him and he went
to America. He was indicted for
perjury in London, SO he left
America and took his residence in
Italy. His wife, a charming Amer
lean, stood by him to the last. For
many years he was regarded as
the most brilliant, but, unreliable
newspaper man in New York.
While there were many redeem
ing features 10 Mr.. Hurlbert's
career, he stands as an example of
a large class Of bright newspaper
writers in New York City whose
talents are running to waste on
account of the lack of a balance
wheel of solid character. The
"boys" around the offices know
their worth as story writers and
are inclined to overlook any eccen-
tricity of person or morals. The
sentiment that she's a good fellow
and we hate to see him go under"
evidently holds as high a place in
Editor Dana's mind as it does
among ths rank and file of the
news writers of New York City.
