The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1897-06-02

Since the delivery of the Govern
ment's note to the japanese Minister,
no written communication has passed
between the Cabinet and Japan's rep
resentative. From information re-
ceived from a reliable source. it is
known that there have been some oral
communications 1t is further stated
that out of the many hundreds of i'm
migrants returned to Japan, there
may be found few cases where a
mistake has been made in returning.
Should there be evidence of such cases
they will be carefully investigated.
The whole controversy is very likely
to he narrowed down to this position
On the other hand to the outsider
it does not appear as if there would
be such an easy solution to the diff
Guilty. The position taken by the Ha-
waiian Government is based upon its
own laws and these laws Japan claims
as antagonistic to her treaty. How
! ever. should the statement above
prove to be true, Il very unpleasant
episode will have very satisfactory
ending.

But this has now passed away, as
it ha, been made plain that as soon
as the means are available. the Gov
eminent at once takes up some inn
por,aut public work.
The opening up Of a road system
through the Eonas is agrcat achieve
mcnt. The mere fact of good roads
i'm those districts will increase the
population immensely. for they give
access TO lands which before could
only be reached by trail. And the
people who take up these lands are
people who make their homes upon
their little estates. and who will form
as progressive and Independent a
population as that of Olaa on the
other side of the big ISLAND.
The roads also through the TIilo and
Hamallua district have been improved
and new ones opened. The Hilo Hos
pital is about completed, the Hilo
wharf. a most necessary improvement,
is about to be commenced.
Looking at Honolulu. we have inn
proved harbor facilities, the roads in
many cases are in good order, the oft
attempted Pail road is now in process
of improvement. and throughout the
islands minor works have been at
tended to.
But good as the work is. there is a
very great deal that still requires to
be done. and it will be the task of the
next Legislature, seeing what has
been accomplished in the past, to so
apportion the funds that even more
may be done in the future. It is quite
time to begin to consider what some
of these future improvements shall

CLOSING EXERCISES.

The school term is coming to an
end and the question of appropriate
closing exercises comes up before the
teacher.
For a year past the classes have
been under instruction in grammar,
in arithmetic, in language, in geog-
raphy, history, and so forth. Now,
at the end of the year, something is
needed to give browning touch, as
it were, to the little educational pile.
There are several ways of giving
the browning touch. There is exam
ination by Il series of written papers,
interspersed with a certain amount
of viva voce examination. This gives
a thorough test of the amount of
scholarship acquired during the year,
and children can be properly classi-
fed by it. But such a method is eN-
tremely laborious upon both pupils
and teachers, and save in few in
stances. is not carried out to any eX-
To carry this plan to its logical con-
clusion special examiners should be
appointed, whose duty it would be to
frame the questions and look over the
papers In some coutries this is done
by establishing examining centers.
Then, another method is to have the
children go through portion of their
work orally and on the blackboard in
the presence of their parents and
friends. This is either too hard or
too easy. If honestly done and the
pupil really questioned upon any por-
ton of the. studies required, the ner-
vous child is at great disadvantage
as compared with one of bold tenn
permanent. and the better scholar fire.
quently shews in the worse light. To
obviate this a certain amount of Spe-
cial preparation for the show" is
made and the result cannot be salts
factory TO anyone who wants to know
something of the real mental progress
of the pupils.
Throwing all this aside. there are
those who go boldly in for display,
pure and simple. They say people
like to be amused. and we will amuse
them, so the last three months of the
school term are devoted to training
Jimmy to recite make Way for Lib
erty," or AT Evening in His Guarded
Tent" and Jennie to pipe, II love
little pussy" of "The Dead Doll" In
terspersing this with dialogues, broom
drills, fan drills and choruses, they
produce a very pleasing amateur en-
tertainment, for children as rule
are born actors and actresses, and
their fathers and mothers and friends
go home and say how well the children
have done. The only thing against
this form of entertainment being that
the average man does not send his
children to school to be made actors
and actresses of.
However, great is the power of Gus
tom. ana ne walks upon hluuen nreS
as Horace says, who dares say a word
against custom, especially when it is
a pretty one, as the closing exercise
undoubtedly is. iut ii by no means

If people want to inform themselves

But very few people ever will tax,

BENEFITS TRIAL CLOSED.
SURPRISING TESTIMONY FOR THE
DEFENCE IN THE CAROLINE |

DEFENCE IN THE CAROLINE |
MURDER CASE.
Denton. Nd, Oct 13.-The trial of
William Bennett, colored, for the muir
der of Wesley Gibbs, colored, at Ridge
ly, Caroline county, was concluded yes
terday and given to the jury.
DR.. p. r.. Fisher testified that he had
made a post-mortem examination and
found Gibbs had been stabbed under
the fifth rib, through the cartilage, near
the breast bone. The wound was an
inch and a half long and five inches
deep and pierced the left part of the
heart, producing almost instant death.
He said death resulted from the wound,
as all the organs Of the body we're in
healthy or normal condition.
The states attorney was somewhat
surprised when the defence offered wit
nesses to swear that II was not Bennett,
but another colored man who accom-
panied Bennett, who stabbed Gibbs.
William Warner Daniel Palmer and
James II. Sample all testified that they
saw a butchers knife in Newman's
right hand and saw Newman deal the
blow which resulted in Gibbs death.
The witnesses for the defence came
from Talbot county. and Philadelphia,
and the colored witnesses from this
county who had testified for the state
were surprised and maddened by this
strange testimony, which had not been
heard of by them until during the trial.
| Bennett was put on the stand and
gave lengthy account of his move
ments on the night Of July g. when the
homicide occurred. In the early part
of the evening he drove to Hillsbor-
ough and bought whisky, came home
and. together with Newman and three
other colored men, divided It. They all
went to Smiths store, but finding the
store closed they went up the street to-
ward the drug store and found Gibbs
and several other cOlOred men in front
of the store, and Gibbs began to abuse
him. This was the second time Gibbs
had tried to attack him that night. He
struck at Gibbs twice with his left
hand, but had no knife in his righi
hand, nor did he stab him. He denied
: having made any confession to Lewis
Knots that he stabbed Gibbs.
The case was closed and given to the
jury about / o'clock yesterday after
/ noon.
