The Daughters of the American
Revolution concluded to shake the
olive branch across the Atlantic,
and sent an exceedingly well-ex-
pressed memorial to Queen Vie
toria, in this Jubilee year, in
which they said that Her Males
ty ''reigns not only in the rever-
entail hearts of her subjects, but
in the universal heart of women"
The reply was written ON Her
Majesty's personal letter paper,
and by her private secretary, in
which allusion is made to their
''touchingly expressed senti-
ments." Colonel Hay, the Amer
lean Minister writes, "nothing
better done has been presented to
the Queen in the year of Jubilee"
This is high praise, indeed.
While the Daughters" have
thrown bridge across the bloody
chasm of national antipathy be-
tween the races, which, accord
ing to the newspapers is roaring
with torrents of hatred, what are
the Sons of the American Revolu-
ton doing? Will they permit
their wives and daughters to be-
come an entering wedge for fe-
male supremacy? Will they per-
nit them to perform the duties of
statesmen? Will they degenerate
into the Husbands of the Daugh-
tiers of the American Revolution. /"
If not, they must contrive some
scheme which will enable them to
get even with the Daughters"

The history of criminals shows a
number of cases quite similar to
that of Kapea. The study of this
curious phenomenon has been tax
en- up only in late years. 1t is de-
sirable that some one interested
in the subject and familiar with
the native language, should care
fully investigate the mental and
moral condition of these criminals
in the interest of science, before
they are punished. 1t should be
as profitable as the study of the

CAPTAIN BARKER.

The excellent friend of Hawaii, Capt
A. S. Baker of the Oregon has been
made the victim of some miserable cur.
The Herald and Presbyter of Cincin-
natl published letter signed by per-
son who declared himself to be a sail
or on the Oregon. He stated that on
Good Friday, Captain Barker forbade
the use of meat by the crew, that he
caused the officers to dress in white
robes and attend in the officers quar-
tiers, where large candles were burn
in; that he brought priest on board
to administer the rites and on his de-
parture, the crew were ordered to sa-
lutte him at the gangway, and the
signer of the letter says he was punish
ed for refusing to salute.
The newspapers took up the matter,
and made it hot for Captain Barker.
He was accused of infamous conduct
and desire to convert the crew to the
Roman Catholic faith. He was at last
compelled to write to the Navy De-
partment and state that there was alb
solutely not a word of truth in the
statement, and that on the day in ques-
ton, he had a dinner party on board of
the vessel. He asks the Department in
the interests of the service to induce
the Herald and Presbyter to give up
the name of the author. AS Captain
Barker is noted for his strong religious
views, which are strictly Protestant, it
looks as if some malicious person at
tempted to do him an injury. The
large community here, that knows him
we'll, and watched with much interest
that pleasant romance of his visit here,
that ended so happily, would not for a
entertain the belief that he
was or could be guilty of such a
charge.

PRIZES FOR STORIES.

Every one who visits the Isl

the scenery and the hospitality of
the people. We are called "the
most generous entertainers, "
.smost charming acquaintance"
But not a few travellers who have
seen much of the world say of us,
not enough intellectual life. Iso-.
lation makes them narrow and
rather indolent mentally, but of
course there are exceptions.
Our men are busy, and our wo-
men do much visiting, and the in
terruptions to systematic study
are many, and the visitors take up
a good deal of time, and out of it
all comes little crystalized work.
The Kilohana Art League is an
organized movement for creating
a better social, artistic and intel
lectual life. One thing is certain.
If our young people grow up here
and do not find the right kind of
social life, they will try to get it
away from misplace, or sink down
to general mental Indifference.
We choose to give our children
many advantages in the way of
education. There is danger that
we may educate them to leave US,
unless we furnish them that which
satisfies them, especially in a
place distant from the social ad-
vantages," whatever they may be.

THE PLANTATION TAX CASES.

The decisions of the Supreme
Court in the Tax Appeal cases APP
peared in our issue of yesterday.
The principles adopted ~ the
Court in its review of the findings
of the assessors, are interesting
from a legal standpoint, because
our own Court is dealing with a
subject which the American
Courts touch gingerly, owing to
very demoralized public senti-
ment on the matter of taxation.
The American Press has with sin
gular unanimity in the large cities
avoided any close discussion of
the subject. because the valuation
of the assets of the profitable
newspapers has been placed so
fraudulenty low by accommo-
dating assessors. in order to keep
the papers quiet on other matters,
that a free Press has been largely
"a muzzled Press. The large cor
poratiOns as a rule, prefer to
deal" with the assessors rather
than take questions of valuation
into Court and expose their bust
ness.
The opinion of our own Court
indicates that there is much
which is subject to taxation, that
is indefinite and even shadowy.
But ii adopted a rule which distin.
cuisines between what is of per
manent and what is of transient
value. Even with the most care
full consideration, it is impossible
