RAPID TRANSIT.

Rapid transit is a question OF
such great Importance to Honolu'
lu, in view of the steady growth
of the city, that it should have a
leading place in public discussion.
Nagging at the present horse car
system is worse than useless. 1t
marked a great advance when 1T
came, and then covered about all
the territory that would yield a
paying traffic. If the legislation
under which it was inaugurated
was defective, the fact was due
partly to inexperience with such
things, on the part of our public
men, and partly to that times
having antedated the success of
electric locomotion abroad. The
owners of the system are known
to have been DESTROYS of adopting
electricity and extending their
lines, but they and the Govern
ment failed to reach an agreement
as to terms and conditions. Par
ticulars of this failure are as yet
joint state and corporation secret,
which perhaps may not be disclos-
ed excepting under Legislative in
quiry, however useful the know
ledge might be to discussion in
the meantime. One thing the
BULLETIN will contend for. That
is, that no blanket franchise of
exclusive privileges shall be
granted for any period, which
shall not provide for the COM
pulsory extension of lines into
any urban or suburban district,
whenever such district shall have
a population in number and pro-
pinquity of domicile to be deter
mined by a legislated standard.

President Dole has returned
from the island of Maui, where at
one place in the interior he was
greeted most cordially by more
than 1000 natives. Many of these
had been royalists from 1893.
Upon hearing from Mr.. Dole in
their own tongue they at once
rendered allegiance to the republic.
The foregoing is from the Ho-
nolulu correspondence of the San
Francisco Chronicle. 1t does not
require even sullen indifference,
not to mention disloyalty, toward
the republic for anyone who knows
the truth to denounce the state
ment quoted as an utter false
hood. If more than a thousand
natives on Maui gave in their
allegiance to the republic, there
would be evidence for it in a SEN
sationally large addition to the
oath subscription books. There
has been no mention of even one
Maui natives having taken the
oath in consequence of the Presi-
dents visit. Cancellation of the
native Hawaiians, the greatest
desideratum of the republic, will
never be promoted by misrepre-
sentation Of their attitude. I,

SELECT SCHOOLS.

At the latest meeting of the
Commissioners Of Education the
question was mooted of having a
new differentiation in the select
school establishment. IL the idea
is to create social class distinctions
in the schools where tuition fees
are charged, the proposition
ought to be opposed as repugnant
to the equality that should reside
in a properly constituted republic.
1t would further be Objectionable
as emphasizing the exception to
free schools which thus far, since
tuition fees were abolis he'd in the
schools, it has been deemed expe-
dent to maintain in Honolulu.
Most people hope the time is not
far distant when the exception
may be abolished and free schools,
including an academy on every
populous island, may be the I'M
broken rule. The creation of dis
tinctions within the select or pay
schools might tend to retard that
contamination. On the other
hand, il the idea of the suggestion,
referred to is to extend the present
select school establishment on &C
count of pressure in the accom-
modations, it is hard to see how
such a thing can be avoided SO
long as the expediency Of having
O pay school subdivision is con-
sidered necessary under the pecu
liar conditions here existing.
When the schools in general were
made free it did not need class
motives to have an exception made
of the Fort school. With
its excellent grading and system
and good equipment, the making
it free would certainly have caus.
ed the school to be swamped.
Children would have been drawn
from the private schools in num-
bers to crowd Fort. street school
beyond its capacity. Doubtless
there was an element of class dis
tinction in having that school
kept on pay footing, but it was
not class distinction in the ordi-
nary acceptation of the term.
There is mixture of nationalities
in this city that places children
born to the English language at a
great disadvantage in being taught
along with children who have to
learn English in school. The
fees charged in the select schools
are a protection to the English
speaking children. Abolition of
fees could therefore only be ad.
vised, for the present, in conjunc-
ton with system whereby child
rem whose mother tongue is Eng
lish were separated from those
of other nationalities. This
may not be practicable for some
time. AT present. the public
schools of the country, and parti.
cularly of Honolulu,are in tran
sition stage. Any practical sug-
gestions for having the system
made symmetrical and as perfect
as possible should, and doubtless
will, be welcomed by the Depart
ment of Education. The BULLE,
TIN proposes to discuss plans OF
progress.

Timely Topics
ON
MEAT CHOPPERS, BIRD
CAGES AND RAIN
GAUGES.

Before Whitelaw Reid be-
came Minister to France he
devoted a good deal of his
time to the conduct of his pa
per, the Tribune. The copy
editors who put up the head
lines of stories of the day fell
into the habit OF making most
of them interrogative, as, for
instance, "Was it murder or
suicide?" or did she kill him
for love?" or evil the Presi-
dent sign it," etc.
The whole paper was speck-
led with interrogative points.
The thing had been going for
weeks, till one day a postal ar
rived, addressed to Mr.. Reid,
and marked personal. 1t read
as follows:
"I'm getting awful tired of
your questions. Why don't
you find out something? A
great newspaper is supposed to
know everything, and ought
not to annoy its readers with
needless inquiries. This morn
ing you asked: "Will Mr..
Platt CONSENT" How the hi
do | know?
That night an order came
that the Tribune must ask few
er questions.
In spite of Whitelaw Reds
experience we are tempted to
ask the people of Hawaii a few
leading questions, just an even
half a dozen of them.
QUESTION 1-Have you seen
the new improved American

you to call and take a look at it.
1t has an automatic rotarymove-
ment as we'll as the up and
down chopping motion. They
are simply and cheap and a
child can operate them.
QUESTION2-Have you seen
the new BRASS BIRD CAGES
we have just received? They
are beauties and they only cost
from $3.50 to $3.50 according
to style.
QUESTION }-Have you seen
the PAINTED Bird Cages we
are offering at 1926 to $2.OO2
QUESTION 4-Have you seen
the HARTMAN STEEL WIRE
MATS we are offering? The
rainy season is coming on and
they are just what you want.
They are cheap, Clearly and
indeStructible.
QUESTION5-Have you seen
the RAIN GAUGES we have
lately imported With one of
these little instruments you
can laugh at the Clerk of the
Weather and give him a point
er after every storm.
QUESTION6-Haveyo seen
the latest thing out? 1t is a
portable bootblack stand, made
of iron, which can be screwed
to a post anywhere and moved
in any direction. Must be seen
to be appreciated. Complete
with brushes, two kinds of

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infiamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tubes. When
this tube gets infiamed you have rum bling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal condi-
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which
is nothing but an infiamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send
for circulars, free.

Denver, Dec. THE News today
says it has been ascertained that A ed
Hense Downen, the highwaymaa con-
victed laet week of the murder of Joel
G. Ashworth in this city, may have
been the murderer of The McGlincy fam
lily near Campbell, Cal, May 10Th, last.
1t is said Downen was in Santa Clara
county, CAL, last May. He has all
along declared he would make second
confession besides which the first would
be insignificant. The theory is held
that he may have killed Durham, who
was suspected of the murder of the Nc
Glincy family, and secreted the body
in order to divert suspicion from him

CONGRESS COAvENES
There Were No Remarkable
Features Presented.
Little Interest Manifest-Speaker

Washington, Dec. 1.-The first day
of the second session of the Fifty fourth
congress presented no remarkable feat
ures. There were II senators in their
seats and IS absentees. The presidents
message was read without apparently
evoking any special interest, the only
exception to that rule being TO the por-
lions of the message devoted to Armen-
ian outrages and to the revolution in
Cuba. On the first of these subjects
the president states his belief "that the
present sombre prospect in Turkey will
not be long permitted to offend the sight
of Christendom,"
The presidents discussion of the
Cuban question is extensive and impair
tial but its summing up indicates the
temper and views of the administration.
1t is these words: "When the inability
of Spain to deal successfully with the
instruction has become manifest, a
situation will be presented in which our
obligations to the sovereignty of Spain
will be superseded by higher obligations
which we can hardly hesitate to recog-
nize and discharge"
These declarations appeared to obtain
general favor and approval The mes
sage covered IS printed pamphlet pages
and its reading occupied one hour and
fifty minutes.
At 1885 the senate adjourned until to-
morrow.
The house presented bright and
cheerful appearance this morning when
the galleries were thrown open to
visitors. The members of the house,
like the occupants of the galleries COM
menced to put in an appearance as early
as 10 o'clock although the hour of the
meeting was u o'clock. The Republi-
cans from the west and middle west,
who secured denomination and were
not engulfed in the wave of free silver
ism which swept over their common
wealths, congratulated each other upon
their good fortune.
Dave Mercer of Nebraska, secretary
of the congressional committee, one
of two Nebraska members who secured |
a re election, was the recipient of many |
cordial congratulations from his con-
gressional friends. Some of the veteran
members of the house were also niue
in evidence and each, as he moved about
the chairman, received a small ovation
from his friends.
Mr. Crisp's desk was draped in
mourning.
Promptly at noon Speaker Reeds
gavel fell and the second session of the
Fifty-fourth congress began. Chaplain

the close of which the speaker ordered

st. Louis. May 29-It was possible Fri
day morning to make all intelligent esti-
mate-for all figures are as yet estimates
.-of the loss of life and property in this
city and vicinity by the storm of Wednes-
day night. 1t will be many days before
the exact facts are known, If they are
ever known at all. 1t is true that in this
city and East ST. Louis the records of the
health department will show the number
of interments, Sc that the number of dead
within the municipal limits will eventual
ly be asccrtained, but no such veritcatiOn
IS possible in the country districts, where
the loss of life was undoubtedly greater
than was at first reported. The property
loss, of course, is practically an unknown
quantity and figures vary greatly. The
best that can be done Is to average the
estimates of competent authorities.
Dead in st. Louis Number $50.
In ST. Louis the number of dead reported
to the authorities up to four o'clock Friday
morning was 49, of which number 116 We're
identified and q unidentified. OF these
the larger proportion were at the morgue,
or reported at undertakers' establishments.
Tut there are undoubtedly many others
awaiting burial at private residences. and
1t is still more certain, unfortunately, that
the removal of debris will disclose the bod
les of other victims of the storm as yet
unaccounted for. Still, there can be no
doubt that the first rumors of scores
crushed beneath falling buildings were
largely exaggerated, and the number to be
accounted for in this way will not be so
large as was at first feared. careful
survey of the situation, therefore, justi-
files the belief that the unreported dead
those in private houses and those unre-
covered from wrecked buildings-will not
exceed 10O This brings the total dead in
st. Louis up to about $50, and 1t Is believed
that the eventual verification of the death
roll will not show variation of more than
ten from that figure.
