There was fair gathering of
members and friends OF this popular
Hawaiian association at its hall,
Foster block, last evening. 1t was
but a simply informal affair, and
everyone felt quite "at home" The
program opened with song, "Awai-
aulu," followed by an address by
President Wilcox, reminding the
members Of their duties, and inform
ing the visitors OF the three objects
which the Institute was aiming at
After another song and instrumental
music by tho glee club, Hon. j. e.
Bush preached to the Young Hawai-
ians, taking for his text, Omitted we
stand, divided we fall; in unity
there is strength" He exhorted
the young men to stick together
and remain steadfast in the cause
they have adopted; by patience and
constant striving, great difficulties
that obstruct the way to success and
triumph will, like large rocks, be
washed away by tiny drops Of water.
Mr.. Bush expressed regret that Ha-
waians of some means had not fol-
lowed the noble example. set by
Mrs, Foster and encourage these

The MiBister OF three portfolios
and Minister OF Public Instruction
Cooper presided over yesterdays
meeting Of the Commissioners Of
Education.
Deputy Inspector Scott reported
favorably on the Eva school site
and the Waiawa site and building,
aud wanted to know in regard to
closing the schools on May 24th,
Queen Victoria's birthday. Presi-
dent Cooper saw no reason why
even if the Executive buildings
should be closed the schools should
be; but he supposed that the teach
ers would do the same as on Wash
iugton's birthday allow their chill
dren to 60 The matter was debated
and at length it was resolved that
the mo Britons need apply" or
rather that no holiday should be
declared.
Mr.. Scott then spoke feelingly of
the overcrowded condition Of the
public schools. He had been com

Cooper and Mr. Lightfoot to ar
range. ~
Teachers desiring a renewal OF
their first and second grade certif-
Gates were recommended to send in
their certificates for the inspection

President Cooper stated that it
was the intention OF the Govern.
ment to build a courthouse at Ko-
loa, Kauai. The Board has two

Government could have lot. The

templat ton the coming of the bullion pur-
chased under the Sherman law.
The pressure for more money cannot be
resisted by the present unwilling admin
istration. The very advent Of the much
vaunted prosperity is stronger argu-
ment for domestic bimetallism than any
which can be theoretically produced; i,
is demonstration that should convince
the most stupid and obdurate. Gold
monometallism produces depression, and
is better adapted to that condition than
to prosperous times.
Our stock of gold will be increased d
temporarily by drafts upon the resources
of European nations. with the inevitable
effect of creating a bimetallc sentiment
over there. The goldite does not like
this, for he is only talking bimetallism
and is never ready to carry it into prac-
tice. Let prosperity go on and increase
for all reasons, not the least of which
is to give silver its proper status under
the Constitution, which will but add
momentum and magnitude to the wave
that seems to be setting our way.

PUBLIC REFORMS

category of denominations.
The outlook is a trife late with its
put the dangerous airgun under the ban,
and there is nothing more to be said, for
the present. Quick action is a thing to be
admired in such cases. But what of the
villainous slungshot? 1t is new abom-
nation, so far as the information of this
paper goes. Will the outlook please fur
nish plans and specifications, that the
thing may be properly sized up? Not all
the denominations that curse the land
have been stricken off, but the list is
growing smaller. 1t is understood that
the authorities will at once put stop to
the reprehensible and dangerous prac-
tice of shooting oil wells that has been
prevalent of late in the West End. The
license of notorious saloon has recently
been revoked, and there are other indi-
cations that the spirit of reform is in the
air.
The Herald has its own ideas about
municipal and other public reforms. 1t
will not seek to manufactur them for
the sake merely of being sensational, to
make little cheap and evanescent cap
ital for itself, or just to see how much
needless trouble it can make for other
people. But when the common rights

LAUNCHED AS A STATE PARTY

The Silver Republicans had success
full and an encouraging conference yes
terday in this city. Fifteen counties of
the state were represented. There was
a concurrence of sentiment in favor of
a permanent political organization and
all the necessary preliminary steps to
that end were taken. The tenor of the
speeches made indicated an implicit con-
fidence in the cause and fixed purpose
to abide by It,
The organizers showed a good deal of
courage in calling together political as
semblage at this time, when there is no
stimulus of a campaign to draw upon,
and when any action taken must neces-
sarily be sin cold blood" The outcome is
reassuring. These men who are putting
their shoulders to the wheel of state or
ganization are carrying out their deep
and settled purposes and no fanfare OF
excitement is nece ssary to bring them to
the mark. They have that cool and de-
liberate courage of conviction which al
ways proves most reliable in action and
the hardest to demoralize in an hour OF
trial.
A fitting conclusion to the days work
was achieved in the opening of the spa
cjous club house of the Silver Republican
club of this city. With a nucleus thus es-
tablished the club will maintain it's pop
ularity and become more efficient thar
ever before
