Viscount Folllstone in moving the
address in reply to the Queens speech,
referred in strong terms to the recent
adjudication of the Venezuelan diff
Guilty. He said that England might be
proud in the future for the steps TAX
en- in the direction of international
peace by the treaty of arbitration. Sir
William Harcourt the leader of the
opposition, said "The fricn iship be-
tween the two countries must always
be the cardinal principle of Englisl
policy" Such plan, he went on TO
argue, would do much to relieve the
nations of the world from the heavy

Governor Johnston, of Alabama, in
his first message to the Legislature cf
his state, appeals strongly to his peo-
pie against lynching. Mob law is not
law. 1t is brutal to sense. 1t is clearly
a disgrace to the nineteenth century
to allow such things as have happened
in Alabama and other of the neighbor-
ing states to take place. To read Of
what has been done there one would
think that one was in middle ages aud
not in this more enlightened period os
the world. Governor Johnston may or
may not be successful in his effort, hut
he deserves every credit for his at
tempt to substitute law for reckless
ness. The worst elements of COM
munity are called forth when lynch
ing takes place.

During last week it was noted
in this paper that 5621a shares
of Honokaa plantation stock had been
sold for $4,000, which was at the rate
of $123,34 a share, and later sale for
small block brought $165 per share.
This does not look as if the prosperity
of the Hawaiian Islands was going
under. AS a fact there is no better in
vestment than Hawaiian sugar stocks
if you only get hold of the right SORT.
There are some plantations, however,
that are like a veritable "Will O. the
Wisp." They promise large dividends
and the dividends are always coming
next year" Honokaa is in no such
position, its dividends have been paid
on the nail and it may be regarded IS
amongst the most successful planta-
tions upon the Islands.

KINDERGARTENS.

The Kindergarten movement is one
eminently to be encouraged in the
community Gradually from small be-
ginnings it has grown until now it is
putting forth it's hand to reach those
whom there seemed no possibility to
reach before. The move made by the
directors of Eva plantation, in giving
a building and in paying the expenses
of kindergarten for year in advance
is highly creditable. 1t is move in
direction entirely opposite to what is
usually credited to plantation owners.
Dollars and cents are supposed to be
Get dividends for the shareholders and
never mind anything else. But this is
not the fact. Plantations have spent
and will spend money for the good of
their employees, and spend it literally.
The Kindergarten is blessing to
the overworked mothers. 1t takes
away the children during the most
trying hours of the day and allows
the housewife to perform her duties.
1t trains the very young children in
habits of order, cleanliness and kindli-
ness, and in this way reacts upon the
home.
With the Heterogeneous population
that we have upon our plantations, it
is undoubtedly our duty to try to raise
RNr N
this be better done than through the
children. Intelligent laborers are what
we really want, not mere machines,
and we can't get intelligent laborers
unless we educate them in time. The
kindergarten takes hold of children
before the public school can reach
them and works upon them in an en-
tirely different manner to the public
school system. 1t throws "A shaft OF
sunshine into lives that would other
wise be very gloomy and prosaic. The
main object that the Kindergarten
sets before herself is to make hel
children lead a bright, cheerful and
natural life. The civilizing influence
of this must be immense.
When there is a move in the right
direction it is well to point it out tc
the public. The start that has beer
made at Eva should be followed by
other plantations. dividends have
flowed into the pockets of sharehold
ers very freely during the last year
and a part might easily be laid aside
to brighten the lives of the plantation
children. Like every human contriv'
ance the Kindergarten is far from per

The New York Life rises sometimes
far above the mere comic paper, the
true man peeps out from beneath the
clowns dress, and when it does so it
goes more to the heart than ordinarily.
In criticism upon the real b.
hemia," called forth by book writ
ten by Felix Moscheles anent his early
days with Du Maurier, Life says,
what a lot of nonsense is written
about Bohemia. What the envious
Philistine really sees of it is species
of cheap restaurant, dowdy clothes,
opinionated and vain young men and
a good deal of impecuniasity." The
writer then goes on to say that the
''real Bohemia" is the land of the
heart, where there is plenty of hard
work and very little pay, till some day
one realizes that the work which has
been done and the thoughts which
have been jotted down are really
worth something to the world at large.
But no Bohemian ever travelled to
fame without hard work. 1t looks an
easy existence, 1t is amongst the hard
est. 1t is land full of brilliant hopes
which are seldom realized, and vet it
gives us the most brilliant of mental
effort and the most wonderful of social
success. Life" puts the case of Du
Maurier as never has such a case been
put in such terse phrase. 1t says "he
worked and toiled, drew and polished
and drew again, learned to write SEN
tence by sentence, kept at his task
year after year, then had a burst OF
applause-and died" 1t is one of the
most pathetic bits of English that has
been written, and one of the most
forceful. He worked, he gained sue
cess and-he died-Man's history if he
is worth anything.
