FREE SCHOOLS.

The Educational Committed OF
the House met the members of the
Board of Education Monday and
evidently showed that it was desir
Gus OF informing itself properly
upon educational matters. while
the matters Of the Board are under
consideration it would be well for
the House to consider the anomaly
of Government pay schools. All
Government schools should be
and eertainly0the High School
should be fEee~
Every one, no matter what, his
social or monetary standing, should
be free to enter the High School
To make the High School, or any
other Government school a.pay or
select" school savers rather of
monarchy than of Republicanism.
1t tends to establish or foster a
little fifty cents a week aristocracy.
The idea of "select" school has it's
distinct influence on the rising
generation. What should be in
culcated by the Government schools
is that all men are free and equal.
But if at the outset of it's career a
child finds that in the eyes of it's
rulers, all are not equal, but that
the ability to pay fifty cents a
week gives it supposed advantage
over its fellows, very improper
object lesson is being taught.
The pride of an infant Republic,
such as this, fashioned on the lines
this is, supported by the men and
women this is, should be to have
its highest public educational insti-
tutiOns free to every class of its
citizens, no matter of what social
position, no matter how rich or
how poor they may be in purse.
This and this only justifies the
support of the High School by
public funds. The present Legis-
lature should see to it that such an
anomaly in the public schools is
amended at once, and that the
schools of Hawaii, supported by
the people, should be free to all the
people.

DIsPATHEs from the city of Mex
leo state that the Central and
South American republics are only
waiting for the United States to
take positive action, before recog-
nizing the Cuban insurgents. Such
a move on the part of Mexico gives
promise of stirring up more or less
internal strife as the leading banks
and many mercantile houses are
controlled by Spaniards. 1t is be-
coming more and more apparent
that the United States Congress-
men have it in their hands to pre-
cipitate or put an end to a vast
amount of political trouble in the
western hemisphere as well as
Europe.

IT IS a significant fact that the
rioting in Spain, resulting from
the action OF the United States
Congress in the Cuban affair, is
abetted by the republicans who
are bitterly opposed to the present
policy of the Spanish government.
Although there can be no question
of the Spanish hatred for the
Americans, the leaders OF the tur-
bulent element are working to
make the situation as uncomfort-
able as possible for the ruling
party. They have never favored
the Cuban campaign and seem
willing te risk a war with the
United States in order to accom-
plish the downfall Of the present
regime.

and probably ever will be,
drawn from the cultivation OF
the soil, and yet, in our govern
mental machinery, the department.
OF agriculture is relegated to prac-
tical insignifcance. The commits
sion OF agriculture receives mere
pitance and by the liberal CO.
operation OF the planters IS given
one assistant. These men are do
ing splendid work, but they are
sorely handicapped by tie second
airy position they hold when it
comes to dealing ont funds for
them to work with. In the equip
ment of it's agricultural department
Hawaii is fully twenty-five years
behind the times. The advan-
tages for experiments in the field
and IN the labratory are decidedly
crude and entirely inadequate to
properly carry on investigations,
which the development of new
lines of agricultural industry de-
mands. The economy that puts
this department aside till a more
convenient season will some day be
proved to be false economy.

PROMINENCE TO LEADING IN
/. tDUSTRY. T. -

The growing Importance of manu-
facturers' interests in the United
States has led to a strong move
ment to create a new department of
the Government, to be known as
the Department of Commerce and
Manufacture, the head of which is
to be a member of the Presidents
Cabinet. Although it is hardly
probable that the new department
will be created during the present
Administration, it is only a matter
of time when the manufacturers
will gain the desired recognition
The agricultural interests have
gained a place in the Cabinet, and
it is highly proper that the manu-
facturers should be placed on the
same level in the personnel of the
Government.
In the matter of allowing the
leading industries a special repre-
sentative in the Executive, our own
country would do well to follow a
good example by giving our agri-
cultural industries a more pro-
minent place. The life-blood of
Hawaii's prosperity has been,

JUDGING from the newspaper re-
port of the threats of California
wine merchants, it. would appear
that they have spoken without con-
sidering just what they were talk
ing about. In the first place, they
com plain of the loss of trade, due
to the importation of Japanese saki,
and then enter a protest against
any increase in the tariff They
Seem to forget that Hawaii, as we'll
as the United States, has a treaty
with Japan, and that it is impos-
sible to place a prohibitory tax
upon saki and let in California
wines, of the same grade, free. If
the wine merchants of California
would expend their energies in
bringing about such change in
the reciprocity treaty as to give
absolute free trade between the
United States and Hawaii they
would accomplish something worth
talking about. Furthermore, before
making assertions about our pro-
posed laws, they should look into
the question more closely to see if,
on the whole, California will be the
sufferer from increased tariffs.
