4 COMING EDUCATOR.

Professor Alexander, through the me-
dunn of educational friends at the coast,
has secured for the Summer School
Professor F. B. Desslar, Phi. D., of the
State Normal School at Los Angeles.
Professor Dessler is one of the three or
four strongest pedagogical men in the
State of California, and his reputation
is national. He studied under Stanley
Hall at Clark University and received
high praise for his work there. For the
past two years he has been at the head
of the department Of pedagogy in the
Los Angeles school. There he has dealt
with everyday questions of practical
school work, and has had very success
ful experience in directing the studies
of teachers in the schools, especially IL
connection with the County Teachers
Institutes.
DIR. Dessler is thirty-seven years OLD
In earlier years he had experience IL
teaching in district schools in Indiana
and had also experience as high schoo
principal and superintendent OF schools
in that State. One of his most import
ant contributions to science, STUDIES
in the Psychology of Touch, may b.
found in the American Journal o
Psychology, Vol. vi, No. 3. The PROBES
sor is also a collaboration on the new
German pedagogical magazine, "Dl'
Kinderfehler" 1t must be further ad
ded that the Professor is an able ant
a fluent speaker.
To obtain the services of such mar
is decidedly for the advantage of th'
Hawaiian public, and Professor Alexan
der is to be congratulated upon the sue
cess that has crowned his efforts to ge
a good pedagogical man to lecture tt
the teachers here.
The presence of such man will b'
inspiring and will help to bring oul
educational system in touch with that
of California And that is what we de-
cidedIy need. The whole fabric OF the
American body polite is based on its
free schools, and if we are to join thai
body polite we must get our teachers
and schools in line with theirs.

FOREIGN IMMIGRATION.

The United States have further pro-
tected themselves from the tide of for
eign immigration. Criminals, diseased
or pauper immigrants have been shut
out for some time, but now there is to
be an educational test By the new bill
''alI male persons between sixteen and
sixty who can not both read and write
the English language or some other
language" are to be excluded.
OF course all depends upon the en-
forcement of the law, and it will be
hard to enforce, for at the main ports
of entry perfect army of linguists viii
have to be on hand. The immigrants
into the United States are a polylingua
set of people. Set aside such widely
known languages as French, Spanish
Italian or German, there is Malay, Hin
du, Pushtu, Icelandic, Finn, and good
ness knows how many more. A column
might easily be filled with them. Is the
customs department of the United
States going to keep professor of eacf
of these on tap, as it were, at the prin
cipal custom houses? Or will one set be
kept rotating, or rather oscillating, be,
tween San Francisco and New York
The professors would have rather q
hard time of it,.
The chances are good that there will
not, in everyday practice, be strict
observance of the law. The best feat
ure about the measure is that it is one
more step forward in the movement tc
regulate immigration into the United
States.

the question OF naturalization at this
time. TO compare Hawaiian naturaliza-
tion with American, British or French
naturalization at this time is utter and
absolute political rubbish. 1t can only
be regarded as a shabby subterfuge to
curry possible favor in Washington. 1t
would be naturalization as a political
move and not naturalization as dis
play of fealty. The truly loyal would
find that the political eyes in and about
Washington are not as weak and short
sighted as some of the enthusiastic
denizens of Hawaii give-them credit.
The so-called aliens of Hawaii are
exercising rights of citizenship given
them by the law of the land. Neither
the Government or any supporter of
the Government has the right to at
tempt to force naturalization or place
the naturalized citizen on a higher
plain of loyalty than the aliens granted
special rights of citizenship. Such act
ion on the part of the Government
would be an inexcusable breach of the
law. The advocacy by the individual of
such action simply discloses the hand
of the ward politician, who under the
guise of true loyalty attempts to fool
the people in order to obtain personal
ends.
Until the United States has either ac-
copied or refused to include this coun-
sion of naturalization has no place in
Hawaii.

ANNEXATION.
[The New York Mail and Express.l

1.-THE New York Mail and Express
The Republican party should not and
will not ignore the voice of Hawaii re-
peating the appeal of that young Re
| public for annexation TO the United
States. Undoubtedly the act of Presi-
dent Cleveland's administration that
Will involve his record in the deepest
| infamy, and for which he would most
gladly seek oblivion, was the attempt
to subvert free government in Hawaii,
and restore the burlesque and semi
barbarous monarchy which has so long
disgraced those Islands. That attempt,
to use the saying of celebrated French
statesman, was worse than a crime
it was a blunder." But it was also q
crime, and a crime of the most in
famous character, against American
principles and traditions, against the
past, present and future of the Ameri-
can Republic, and against our kinsmen
in the Pacific who had built up the
commonwealth of Hawaii as an out
post of American civilization and a
guardian of American interests in that
vast ocean manifestly destined to be an
arena. of mighty events.
Never before had an American PreSi-
OEnl-ndUDiiN
so dangerously near treason to national
interests and violation of his own con-
stitutional obligations. While Mr.,
Cleveland did not actually declare war
upon Hawaii, he conveyed TO President
Dole and his Government the impress
sion that force would be used to compel
compliance with the Cleveland demand
for Dole's surrender 10 the deposed
| n hn oil hQT
purpose, in a dispatch which Cleveland
had suppressed, to behead every mem
Der of the Provisional Government! We
doubt whether the history of any free
country contains a chapter more infa-
| nous than this.
The American people, with almost
unanimous voice, demanded that the
crime should cease, that the American
navy should not be used to crush an
| infant Republic, and that Hawaii be
treated and regarded as under Ameri-
can protection until the time should
come for the star of the Pacific to be
added to the galaxy of our Union
Probably never since the civil war had
public opinion been so strongly aroused
Even Cleveland felt it's force, and he
sought by subterfuge and suppression
to evade the responsibility for his own
deliberate policy. Hawaii was permit
ted to go forward in the path of pro
gress without any further avowed at
tempt on the part of the Cleveland ad-
ministration to interfere with its lib
critics.
And now Hawaii again asks that the
work which the last Republican ad
ministration had not time to complete
be undertaken and accomplished under
the next, and that the patient waiting
of four years shall be rewarded by ad
mission into the American Union. The
call must not go unheeded. The st
Louis convention should declare clearl!
and unequivocally for the annexation
of Hawaii and for the honorable ter
mination of the struggle against des
potism and Clevelandism, during which
our kinsmen in the Pacific have so no
bly, proved their title to the American
name and to American citizenship.

STANDARDIZATION AGAIN.

One of the newborn truly loyals
who has taken up the Naturalization
auestion makes the contention tnat
surrender of citizenship is not surren-
der of nationality. In the physical sense
of the word this is true, but in no other.
The man born in France is always
Frenchman. he is of French flesh ana
blood and must be born again to sur
render his nationality. AS affecting the
legal standing of the Frenchman, how
ever, when he goes to the United
States and surrenders his French c1tl-
zenship, he surrenders his French ma
tionality. AS a nation his native coun-
try has nothing to demand from him,
he is absolutely and completely dena-
tionaIiZed, and from the time he holds
ND his right hand to foreswear his al
legiance. France as nation knows him
no more.
Turning to Hawaii, where rights OF
citizenship are granted without natural
ization. it is claimed that no man can
SHOW true lSdAIS " IhO ~ --~
adoption without becoming naturalized.
This depends entirely upon the man.
One thing, however, is certain, if he is
not loyal to the country under the spe-
cial rights of citizenship granted, he
will never be loyal as a duly natural
lied citizen. Providing he has shown
due fealty as a special rights citizen, it
might then be asked, why should he
object to take out the regular papers
of naturalization, which is only one
little step further?
At just this point the political con-
ditions OF Hawaii step in The consti-
tuition of the Republic Of Hawaii de-
clares for annexation to the United
States. The foundation rock of the Gov
ernmental principles shows on the face
OF it that the political conditions Of the
country are in transitory state. The
people of the country, loyal aliens and
native sons, after continuous strug-
gle, have come to the conclusion that
for the proper protection of personal
and property rights Hawaii must needs
be under the steady hand of one OF the
great nations of the world TIE bring .sp
