PROBABLY the most scathins
criticism ever passed upon the fin
ancial manipulation of a President
was spoken by Benjamin R. Till
man before the United States
Senate during the latter part OF
January. As a willing tool of cor
poration interests, Mr.. Tillman
placed President Cleveland in a
position which there could be no
installing. Senator Tillman has
been dubbed a blackguard by his
enemies and even his friends have
suggested that possibly he went too
far. At the same time the fact that
the men representing Tillman prin-
ciples are on the increase in Amer
lean Legislative bodies is feature
well worth noting. The cry of the
enemies OF corporations was
first confined to labor organiza-
tons. 1t soon reached State legis-
latures and is now heard in the
national Congress. The grip of
interests is bound to be
loosened, although it may require
the destruction of one of the great
political parties to bring about a
of men honest in
heir desire to carry out the work.

PROBABLY no American author
has come done more to educate the
patriotic spirit among the young
people of the United States than
Charles Carleton Coffin, who died
in Boston the early part of this
month. Beginning as a war cor
respondent four months after the
Civil War broke out, he followed
the Union army in all the import
ant campaigns and earned repu-
tation for himself and the Boston
Journal, with which he was con-
nected from the first. When the
war was over he gave up newspa-
per work and turned his attention
to the publication OF a series OF
books in which he gave a graphic
and popular description of leading
events in American history. Al
though Mr.. Coffin wrote many
books for 'grownup" people, he
gained his lasting reputation by
his books for the boys and girls, in
which he told the story of the war.

PRoF. PAUL HAUPT Of Johns
Hopkins University, recently de-
livered a lecture on The site OF
Paradise" in which he comes TO
the very sensible conclusion that
no one knows where Paradise was.
In referring TO the language first
used upon the earth, he says that
nearly every representative of the
modern languages has lodged a
claim on the original tongue, while
some TO smooth the matter over
suggest that God spoke in one
European language, was answered
by Adam in a second, who spoke
to Eve habitually in third and
was addressed by the serpent in
fourth.

FREE SCHOOLS.

The Educational Committee, o
the House met the members of The
Board of Education Monday anG
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 certainly the High School
should be free.
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 week aristocracy
The idea of "select" school has its
distinct influence on the rising
generation. What should be in
eulcated by the Government schools
is that all men are free and equal.
But if at the outset of its career
child finds that in the eyes of its
rulers, all are not equal, but that
the ability to pay fifty cents a
week gives it supposed advantage
over its fellows, a 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-
buttons free to every class of its
citizens, no matter of what social
no matter how rich or
low poor they may be in purse.
This and this only justifies the
of the High School by |
public funds. The present Legis-
AZURE should see to it that such an
Inomaly in the public schools is
amended at once, and that the
chools OF Hawaii, supported by
he people, should be free to all the
,eople. i

JUDeING 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
complain 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 well
as the United States, has a treaty
with Japan, and that it is impos-
sible to place prohibitory tax
upon saki and let in California
wines, of the same grade, free. II
the wine merchants Of California
would expend their energies in
bringing about such a change in
the reciprocity treaty as to give
absolute free trade between the

WAR EPIDEMIC ONCE MORE.

With Italy in state of wild tur-
MOL over the terrible losses of the
Abyssinian army, with Spain
equally excited over the resolution
passed by the United States Con-
gress favoring the recognition OF
the Cuban insurgents and with
Nicaragua in a state of rebellion
that bids fair to extend to the
whole of Central American it looks
very much as if the nations OF the
world were spelling for fight and
that it is only question of time
when some one of the leading
powers will commit an overt act
and bring the war cloud down on
the heads of the people in tangi-
BILE form. The jingo spirit seems
to be in the air although in the
present instances it is making its
appearance among the Latin races
which are easily excited and as a
rule are quick to forget. But the
epidemic is abroad and the ability
of diplomatic physicians to quell
it will be watched with quite as
much interest as when the more
formidable powers were making
strong assertions, consequent to
the proper maintenance of national
dignity.
As might be expected the resolu-
tons favoring the cause of the
Cuban insurgents, and passed by
practically the unanimous vote of
Congress have raised the ire of the
Spanish people to fever heat. So
far as the Government is con-
cerned, however, Spain knows
nothing of the action Of Congress,
The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1896-03-17

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.
The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1896-03-17

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 to risk a war with the
United States in order to accom-
plish the downfall Of the present
regime.

THE remarks OF Tourist" upon
the hotel question are not without
their timely features. 1t would
certainly be far better for a new
hotel to be located in the suburbs
of the city, where extensive
grounds would be available, also
sea bathing and picturesque feat
ures attending proximity to the
ocean. But the great barrier in
the way of carrying out such a
plan is the lack OF available prop
erty at the present time. There
are magnificent hotel sites almost
anywhere along Waikiki beach,
but the land, so far as we are able
to ascertain, cannot be obtained at
prices which hotel promoters could
meet without jeopardizing the sue
cess OF their scheme. Should they
care to make the radical move of
going back into Nuuanu valley or
the vicinity of Punchbowl or Tan
talus, the land could be obtained at
a reasonable figure, and the climate
and scenery could hardly be i'm
proved upon. But in this case the
question of transportation-a seri-
Gus item in Honolulu-comes into
account. The erection of the hotel
recommended by our correspond
ent would require the investment
of more than 100000, and it
would in time attract more tour
lists. 1t is matter which depends
on the amount of money the mer-
chants are willing to invest and
how long they are going to allow
the city to be without an electric
railroad to shorten distances. A
hotel little outside the city limits
would undoubtedly be preferable
if it can be reached easily.
The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1896-03-17

as the concurrent resolution ha
not been acted upon by Presiden
!, Cleveland, and the official attitud,
of the American Republic is still
in the balance. Prime Minister
4 Canovas' statement that friendly
relations continue between Spair
and the United States indicate:
that he has no desire to precipi.
tate a war. Having experienced
such hardships in putting down
a rebellion among few thousand
of the Cuban subjects it stands to
reason that he will not send either
Campos, Weyler or any other
Spanish general against the SUI
perior American forces. 1t is a
case where discretion is the better
part of valor.
The Abyssinian crisis, at present
writing, is strictly a family affair.
The expenditure of large sums of
money in holding Italy's claim to
the Abyssinian provinces has never
met with popular favor, and the
fearful losses sustained by General
Bartieri give promise of being a
death blow to the Crispi ministry.
The well-known contempt with
which Russia has always looked
upon Italian suzerainty in their
provinces, together with the sugges-
ton from leading journal of Ger
many, that the Emperor and Gear
of Russia intervene to force Italy
from Abyssinia altogether, lends
color to the rumors of international
complications arising.
The troubles in Nicaragua are
in their infancy. President Zelaya
claims to have control of the situa-
ton, but it remains to be seen
what influence it is that prompts a
class of Central Americans to resort
to arms on account of the growing
of the United States in
Latin America" With the Mica
ragua Canal in prospect the con-
troll OF the Nicaragua Republic is a |
choice bit which European nations
look upon with more than passing
interest.
