THE SCHOOL UNIONS.

The local school unions of the city
will begin their winter work, now that
the schools are again in theirs, and the
season will be inaugurated by a gen
eral open meeting of members of the
unions in the assembly hall of the
Central high school tomorrow, Mon
day evening. This movement has
for it's object the bringing into closer
relations with the schools and their
work the parents whose children at
tend them. 1t is one of the anomalies
Of our social life that parents, in all
other matters so careful and pains
taking in everything that affects their
offspring, should show such indiffer-
ence in that most important of all that
concerns their children, their educa-
ton in the public schools. To over
come this, to awaken a livelier inter
est, to secure cooperation of parents
with teacher, to stimulate closer social
relations between them, are some of
the purposes of the union.
Others are to aid in spreading a bet
ter understanding and appreciation of
the newer methods that have
come to education in this general
march of Improvement and progress
which is carrying along every other
branch of human activity, but to which
there is an unjustifable opposition re-
sulting almost solely from lack Of in
of
than an end, will, it is expected, be the
formation of a body of public opinion
and appreciation that will help main
tain our schools at the high standard
they have reached, prevent any i'm
pairment and support every measure
designed to promote their efficiency
Such objects should appeal to every
father and mother fortunate enough
to have children and DESTROYS of hay
ing their surrounding, during the six
hours OF the days in which they sur
render them to the custody of the
schools, the best possible in order to
promote their intellectual and moral
growth and aid in the development of

The local unions, each including the
territory Of it's school district, should
receive the support of the parents of
the pupils in every way. The meetings
should be made both interesting and
instructive. There should be full dis

in hopeless war, but offers no reason

Greece, as Mr.. Norman understands
the matter, was whipped before shot

not only to King George and his ad-

if the worst came to the worst, there
would be help from an alliance of the
Balkan states; or, in the event of the
failure of such aid, one or more of the
powers would interfere. The first NAM
ed prop was most relied upon, and at
one time it seemed that this hope would
be realized From Bulgaria came a
proposal that would unite that nation
with Greece and Servia in a defensive
alliance. This offer was rejected by
Delyannis for reasons of his own; and,
as Mr. Norman explains, without the
sanction of the king. Matters were
Fastening to a crisis, the car applied
pressure to Prince Ferdinand of Bull
garia, and before Delyannis could car
ry out any plan he may have had in
mind, Greece was face to face with
war, and with no help in prospect I'M
less it should come from one of the
great powers.
At this time, even when matters had
advanced so far, neither Greece nor
Turkey was eager to go to war. The
ruler of Turkey proposed that the two
sovereigns should meet, in person If
possible and see if the quarrel could
not be adjusted. King George replied
promptly, promising TO accept, even De-
fore it was made, any proposition look
ing to peace that should be in reason.
But this did not please Russia, the mo-
tive which actuated the powers here
assuming most mysterious phase,
since peace was the avowed object of
the concert" and the result was a
note proposing negotiations through
the car rather than direct. The car
rejected the offer, and there was moth
ing left but war. With both sides
anxious to avoid war, they were, as
Mr. Norman expresses it, pushed into

is hardly to be questioned, the odium
of the conflict, the crushing defeat of
Greece and the new insolence Of the
sultan all are the result of an agree
ment or a conflict Of the powers. In
either case they must accept the shame

THE WRECK OF GREECE.

The paper which Henry Norman, the
famous English correspondent, con-
tributes to Scribner's under the title
of The Wreck of Greece throws a
new light on the events which preceded
the declaration of hostilities. The paper
is confusing, in that it is, at times,
difficult to determine whether the
Greek premier, King George or Mr..
Norman himself was in charge of the
negotiations, but the writer's state
ment that he was in possession of
much confidential information may be
accepted in spite of this uncertainty.

A PRETTY TANGLE.

1t may not be courteous to the lady
governor of West Virginia, who is on
trial for forgery, but the conviction of
the prisoner would raise novel ques-
tions, so interesting that they may
serve as an excuse for impoliteness.
Cases of "Roman fathers" have been
rather-rare in America, and, in the
event his wife is convicted, the gov
ernor will have very few precedents to
guide him. With the pardoning power
in his hands, what would be his duty
to himself, to his wife and to the state :?
If the governor and his wife are one
could he allow one-half to languish in
Jail, while the other half performed the
duties of the office? If so, how would
he assert the halves? Would the words
Of the marriage service, ''to have and
to hold" cover a case of holding by
means of prison walls? A pardon pre-
supposes guilt. Would he be justified
in any event, even to keep his wife
out OF prison, In assuming lnaC one
half of the executive of the state had
been guilty of the crime charged? Could
the governor half order out the militia
and rescue the wife half by force?
These are only few of the questions
that suggest themselves, but they are
enough to show, in the language of the
day, that the governor of West Vir-
ginia lis up against it." They also
show, mixing Biblical and modern
meanings, that in his case Whose
fndeth wife findeth a good thing. ."

Frederick Kaun. claiming to be a member

the serious charge against him, however.

it prevents the system of public edu-
cation from being that great and kind
mother to all her children it was meant
to be. We noted some time ago, as
singular reversal of ordinary condi-
tons, that it was probable that the
white race might have to learn some
thing from the black in the choice of
educational instruments. The freedmen.

practical, helpful work in the world, at
the same time that 1t enlarges the
field of mental vision and stimulates
all intellectual activity.
We find encoura cement in the grow
ing popularity of our state agricultural
school, because it, too, disavoWs the
primary iebject of fitting for profess
sional work, and tends to harmonic
an educational system with the real
needs of the individual. we believe
that the great and necessary reform Of
public education in this country will
be along the lines of changing our edu-

state upon this model. What is called

while those whose aspiration is culture

the prosperity Of such places of in

CLEVER KATIE PUTNAM.
VIII Play Season at the Honolulu
Opera House.

Honolulu is not to be without
amusement this year. Arrangements
have been made with II. B. Emery to
bring Katie Putnam, the bright COM
edienne, and her talented organization
to this city. The company will come
next month and will play a season of
either three or four weeks.
Miss Putnam is not a stranger to
Honolulu theater-goers. She appeared
here in the fall of 1880, giving three
performances to large and delighted
audiences. At that time she was on
her way to San Francisco after max
ing a successful tour of Australia.
Katie Putnam's present tour is the
most brilliant and interesting of her
whole dramatic career. She is sur
rounded by company of clever peo-
pie and a perfect performance is The
result. The repertoire is a large and
pleasing one. Among the plays are:
SIN Old Kentucky" The Old Lime
kim "Little Maverick" "a Fixed
Race" elena, the Madcap," "Ermq,
the Waif," "Love Finds a Way" FOL,
line" and many others.
The sale of reserved seats will be
announced later.

RICHEST AMERICAN WOMAN NOW
IN HONOLULU.
a Bride of Six Weeks, Whose Wedding
Dazzled Even the Money Kings Of
the East.

Larz Anderson and his bride, who
will soon be the richest woman in
America, arrived on the Gaelic last
night for a short stay in Honolulu.
Mrs. Andersons wealth is now esti-
mated at $17,000,000; she has as much
more in prospect. \ little more than
month ago she was Miss Isabel Per-
kins of Boston, and when she became
bride, on June 10TH the wedding was
one of the most notable that has occur
red in Boston. Lavish expenditures
of money characterised it in every di-
rection, but taste predominated, and,
a model of artistic conception and exc
cution.
Mrs. Anderson is the daughter OF
Captain George Hamilton Perkins, u.
S. n, retired. and a granddaughter cf
William f. Weld of Boston. whose mil
lions she inherited. While she is esti-
mated to be worth at present some
S17 100000 it is said that later addi-
tional wealth will fall to her lot. so
that in time she will BECOME the rich
est woman in America.
Larz Anderson, the groom, comes
from well known Washington family,
the head of which. General Nicholas
| Anderson, died in Europe some years
ago. For a while Anderson was as
! sociated with Robert T. Lincoln in the
United States Embassy at London. and
later was first secretary of the Lega-
| tion at Rome under Wayne MacVeagh.
He is graduate of Harvard College.
Mr.. and Mrs. Anderson are now on
their bridal tour. They will visit the
Orient before returning.

RECIPROCITY SECTION RESTORED
TO THE TARIFF BILL.
Passes the Senate Without the For
mality of Vote-Tariff Bill to Pass
July "A Hard Fight Won.

WASHINGTON, June 3O.-With
only "A show of opposition and without
the formality of vote, the clause
continuing in operation Hawaiian
reciprocity was today incorporated in
the tariff bill. Senator Allison pro-
posed the text of the House bill clause
as agreed to in the Republican caucus
as follows:
provided that nothing herein con-
tained shall be so construed as to alb
rOgate or in any manner impair or
affect the provisions of the treaty Of
commercial reciprocity concluded be-
tween the United States and the King
of the Hawaiian Islands January 30,
1875, or the provisions of any act of
Congress heretofore passed FOR the
the execution of the same"
The proposal to concur in the House
provision was then agreed to without
the formality of vote.
Now the only hope of the anti an
neXationists is that the treaty will
fail next winter. and a bill will he in
troduced to give notice of abrogation.
Senator Perkins is receiving many
letters and kilograms favoring anneXa-
ton to the islands, and also many eX-
pressions from members of the Legis-
lature and Southern farmers protest
ing against the treaty.
