NOTHING TOME.

@'Tis nothing to me, " the beauty said,
With careless toss of her pretty head,
''The man is weak who can't refrain
From the cup YOU say is fraught with
pain"
It was something to her in after years,
When her eyes were drenched with burn-
ing tears.

And SHE started to hear a staggering
tread.
IT'S nothing to me-" the mother said,
Il have no fear that my boy will tread
The downward path of sin aud shame,
And crush my heart and darken my

1t was something to her when her only
From the path of life was early won.
Then--a ruined body and shipwrecked
soul

cause and proper complaint to the
STATE Board of Education.
The author of this bill claims
that this bill las eliminated the
undesirable features of our form
er school laws in this State, and
will establish a new system that
will not cnly revolutionize the
public schools of the State, but
will provide for the constitutional
requirements of Il four months
school for each district-without
necessarily increasing our present
rate of taxation.
The most desirable features. of
the bill are:
1st. That it establishes the
township system and thereby abol-
ishes weak districts, feature in
our former school law that made
it necessary for one third of our
school fund to be given to weak
districts to equaliZe their school
term and while the Legislature,
leach session would increase the
rate of taxation fur The public
schools, yet the number of school
districts increased i'll greater ra-
ito, and hence our school term
was never ieng; hened. 1t is claim.
ell that the provisions of this bill
providing against the formation
Of weak district, will alone give
us four months public school il
the State.
End. That it guards agains
the appointments of ignorant ant
incomp ,tent colored or whit
I teachers, thereby lengthening tn
school term by properly adjustin;
| the salaries of teacher, to tn
grade of work required in th'
: school. Itinsura.the same lengtI

STILL HOPES TO BE QUEEN

~
Princess Kaiulani VIM Return 20 Hawaii
and Watch for : Change.
SAN FRANC1sco, Aug. q. Princess
Kaiulani, who has just attained her
majority, will return to Hawaii in Oc-
.tober, after an absence Of 10 years in
England and on the continent.
She has hopes Of being made queen Of
the present island republic, il annexa-
ton fails. She is watching for change.
When it comes she looks for compro-
mise between the Republicans and the
Royalists in favor Of herself, for the
chances Of her aunt, e1-Queen Liliuo-
kalani, being restored to power are
generally conceded to be very slight in
any event.
The princess will arrive in New York
about Sept. %, from England. She will
probably stay for q short time in this
city, visiting with ex-Queen Liliuoka-
lani, who will then be residing here
temporarily while congress is not in
session. Kaiulani's father will accom-
pany her.
