control over the Honolulu Advertiser,
President Dole could do nothing but lis
ten with assumed gravity to the piping
complaints of the thin-skinned diplo-
mat
Minister Willis complaint was a re-
markable exhibition Of petulance, for
no one knows more thoroughly than
does Minister Willis how completely
useIess-except as a disturber-he has
been in Hawaii. The quotation from the
Star to which he took exception and for
which he fOOlishly attempted to hold
Honolulu newspaper and the Hawaiian
Government responsible, was part of an
editorial in which attention was direct
ed to the fact that Minister Willis was
not in any sense representative of the
people of the United States; never at
any time during his brief and inglorious
diplomatic career has he ever done more
than voice the un-American and anti
republican ideas which have so griev-
ously afflicted President Cleveland in
his Hawaiian policy.
''As the Star has before stated-in
the editorial which aroused the Willis
ire-'the value of an American Minis
ter in any country depends upon his
representative character Following
that came the paragraph to which most
was taken. In spite of the |
fact that the fretful and querulous Min |
lister has taken umbrage at some of the |
Stars statements as to his diplomatic |
status, the Star sees no reason for am |
ending any of it's declarations as to him. |
He has been merely the personal repre- |
sentative of Grover Cleveland at Homo
lulu. He has never been representa-
tive of the American people. He is an
ayowed enemy to the republican Gov
eminent of Hawaii. He is doing the
proper thing in coming home He should
stay at home"

A wAsHINNroN APOLOGY.

1t having come to the attention OF the
Washington Star that Minister Willis
had complained to the Hawaiian Gov
eminent on account of an editorial ex-
tract that appeared in this paper, the
Star gives voice to it's sentiments IN the
matter as follows:
Minister Willis has left Honolulu
and is now headed in this direction. 1t
is rumored that he will not return to
the Island Republic; that this admins
tration will manifest its displeasure at
Hawaiian republicanism and progress
by having as its representative at Ho-
nolulu an official whose rank and sta
ton is that of mere consul general.
The people of Hawaii will surely be
much delighted if this rumOr has sub
stantial foundation, and so will the peo-
ple of the United States, for the latter
are tired of the picayune manner in
which Minister Willis has endeavored
to annoy government which it should
have been his pleasure and duty to en-
courage and support. From the time
when Mr. Willis presented to President
Dole the uItimatum of his chief to the
effect that the government to which he
SOA1A1AI
has been energetic only in worrying;
the tactics of the mosquito have been
his
What was probably his last effort
materiaiized when he called to say his
official farewell to the President of the
Pacific Republic. Upon that occasion
Mr.. Willis assumed the role of press
censor. and announced his dissatisfac-
ton with the Hawaiian Government be-
cause it permitted the Honolulu Adver-
tiser to reprint an editorial which ap-
peared in the Star, an editorial which
asserted that 'Mr. Willis has no value
whatever in Honolulu. If anything, he
is a standing affront to the people for
whom the people of this country feel
a warm attachment Not having any |

SCHOOLS.

| The report of the Board of Education
is to hand. 1t covers over 14O pages and
gives considerable amount of infor-
nation about the schools.
On the Islands there are 122 Govern
ment English schools, with an enroll
ment of 1908 pupils, 81 independent or
private schools, with an enrolment of
3 ,464 pupils, and three Hawaiian schools
that is where instruction is given en-
tirely in Hawaiian-with an enrolment
of SO, making in all an enrolment of
2,616 children. OF these 7,013 are boys,
5,6O3 are girls. This is the largest school
enrolment since the year 1854, when
there were 1892 children in school.
Since that year there was a gradual
downward tendency, which reached it's
lowest point in 1876, when all classes of
schools combined only mustered 6,252
From information furnished by the
Board of Education, there seems every
that this steady increase will
continue.
The nationality of the pupils attend
ing our schools is another subject of in
terest No less than twelve nationali-
ties are represented. The Hawaiians
head the list with 5,207 children a.
slight increase upon the number in the
of 1894. The Portuguese come
next with 1856 children, and those of
mixed Hawaiian blood count up 2,198. |
The increase of Portuguese in the space
Of two years is very marked, being 635 |
in advance of what it was in 1894. Am /
erican children number 1856, British 200, |
German 253. The Chinese show large |
increase from 529 in 1894 to 740 in the |
present year. The breaking down of the
prejudice against sending Chinese chill |
dren to school is due to the strenuous |
efforts of Mr.. F. w. Damon. The Jap |
anese are also beginning to come into |
school. In 1890 there were only SO Jap |
anese children in school, and now 261 |
are reported. South Sea Islanders still |
figure in the list, but their number, %, |
has no effect upon the general total |
They have been steadily decreasing
since 1890.

There were, at the time the report was
made up, 426 teachers upon the Islands.
OF these 257 were employed by the Gov
eminent and 169 by the independent or
private schools. The Government en-
ploys SO teachers of Hawaiian blood and
4S of mixed Hawaiian blood, or 1O1 Ha-
Waiians in all. Teachers of American
birth or parentage number 50, and Brit
ish A. There are also Portuguese. Of
the American and British, many have
been born in this country and have re-
ceived their education wholly or in
part in our own educational institu-
tions. 1t is a satisfaction to see the
Portuguese coming into school employ
ment. With one exception, the Portu-
guese teachers have received their edu-
cation in the Hawaiian schools, and in
several instances they are the off
spring of parents who can neither read
nor write. The Government school

HONEST, BUT MISTAKEN.

Senator AcCandless' friends believe
that he has 4 grievance against this pa
per in that the Senator'S reply TO Min
lister Damon's remarks upon annexation
as affected by the funding bill was not
published. Senator McCandless stated
in the Legislature on Monday that by
floating four per cent ten-forty bonds
this country would simply be following
the example of the United States in its
recent loan transactions. In other
words, Senator McCandless would say
to the United States, provided the char
aeter of our loan is brought into ques-
ton in discussing annexation, We have
loan on our hands that can not be re-
deemed for ten years, but with all it's
bad features it is no worse than the
financial obligations which the United
States has on its hands,
So far as the Senator's desire for an
nexatioA is concerned, there can be no
question, but he is fighting along the
wrong line when he considers that the
argument, I'VE are no worse OFF than
the other fellows" will hold water.
Senator McCandless does not stop to
consider that Hawaiian four per cent.
bonds will not hold the same position
in the financial market as United States
bonds. He does not stop to consider that
long term Hawaiian bonds fioated on
the conditions named in his resolution
will, with the possibility of annexation
before us, make Hawaiian bonds good |
speculation. He does not realize that by |
booming these bonds redeemable in ten |
years he is playing into the hands of |
the bondhOlders. 1t was not many |
months ago that the Congressman of
the United States who were advocating
annexation were accused with being |
heavy investors in Hawaiian bonds, and
their annexation sentiments were born
of a desire to coin an extra percentage
on their investment. Now the Senator
seeks to commit the Government to a
scheme which in consequence of the
country's position before the door of
Uncle Sam, will give its enemies new
grip on the financial bar put up to keep l
Hawaii out in the cold.
While it is true that the United
States has no surplus to take up the
Hawaiian bonds, as was the case in
1898, it must be remembered that it is
better to say nothing than to go before
the American people to-day with the
plea that the Hawaiian financial policy
has been no worse than that OF the !
United States during the last threeI
years It doesn't take a statesman in
telIect to see that the majority of the
American people are not in love with
that put money into the pock
cts of bond syndicates. 1t is fair to sup
pose that in event of annexation during
the next two or three years the United
States will not be in position to wipe
out the Hawaiian debt and stop the in
terest, but this country cannot afford to
bank on suppositions. 1t is the business
of our public men to place the national
debt in such a form that the United
States can take it or leave it, according
to the condition of the American pocket
book !
Senator McCandless is honest enough
in his annexation sentiments, but he
holds mistaken ideas.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1896-05-06

1t is evident that the public school
system here is based upon American
lines, and that American ideas and Am
erican teachers have the guiding infiu-
ence over them. This should be thor
oughly understood by the people of the
United States. Of whatever nationality
people may be, here they are fused into
a nation which is American in all but
name When annexation comes it will
find a people which has been educated
ON the same broad basis as the common
schools of the United States stand on.
They will find people trained in ideas
Of freedom and equality.
