a GRAVE PROBLEM.

Mr.. Dole and his Ministers are
standing in a very unenviable posi-
tion at present. We are told that
Everything will go on as heretofore,
until Congress forms permanent
government for Hawaii" and yet it
does not appear as if the officials of
the defunct Hawaiian Republic have
any rights or powers here whatever
By the Aorangi arrived seventy
foreigners" for this port. BY the
same vessel we learned that two
steamers have been dispatched from
Seattle for Honolulu with all pas
senger Accommodations occupied. We
also learn that every available room
on the steamers from San Francisco
has been engaged by men and women
who want to reach Honolulu in time
for the expected "boom." We are
also told that the rate from New
York to Honolulu has been reduced
to one hundred dollars.
We feel sorry for the misguided
people, who leave their homes on
the Mainland to come to a place,
which is overstocked with people, and
where there is absolutely no pros.
pect OF picking up livelihood.
The problem of disposing Of the
surplus population, which will
shortly overrun our shores, is very
grave indeed, and it will be true
patriotism and good common sense
if our wise rulers try to wrestle with
this difficult question, before enter
ing into the arena of american"
politics.
1t is no joke to have several thou
sauds of "whites" stranded on our
shores expecting to find an Eldorado
here. Our charitable societies and
masonic organizations are taxed to
the utmost in their endeavors to help
people away from here and cheek
Others from coming Their resources
will eventually become exhausted,
and no further help be given to the
misguided people who expected to
pick up gold nuggets upon their
arrival in Honolulu, and who, to
heir surprise, found played out,
over civilized cosmopolitan town,
built upon advanced American
principles.
Let all join in an effort to stop a
further influx Of Americans. There
is no employment, no business, no
lands, no room in fact for "white''
immigrant to Hawaii, cow terri
tory with a small t under the juris-
diction of the United States OF
America.

The story about a horse, sent to us
by Mr.. Will Whitney, now a student
at Oberlin College, and a son of DR..
J. NJ. Whitney is published in another
column. Perhaps those members of the
the humane brigade who are teachers,
will read it to their pupils.
That a horse should pick up and car
ry a child to a place of safety, under
the circumstances, is almost incredi-
table The authority for the story is
however, excellent.
We may all come to believe with the
good Earl of Shaftesbury, that animals
have souls Our habit of thought hard
ly permits us to do so at present. The
Lord opens our minds very slowly tc

THE AGE or MAN.

The Social Science Club, on Monday
evening. made another desperate at
tempt to fix the age of man on the
earth. It is understood that the club
refuses to attempt TO fix the age OF
the modern woman on earth. The
question Of the age of man is extreme
ly important TO us, in our mixed poi
teal affairs At least it is more i'm
pOrtant than a knowledge Of the curl
GUS racial relations of our mixed pOpu-
lation Probably we cannot estimate
what these relations are, until the
date of the birth of primeval man is
fixed. The Scriptures declare that as
for man his days are as the grass.
A careful study Of the age of grasses
may lead up to better knowledge
Of the exact date when the typical
monkey led out the typica, man, and
turned him loose on the earth This
date may be found on the monkey
almanac. Failing this, a census should
be taken and primeval man should be
compelled to fill up, under oath, the
blanks respecting age.

GOVERNING WEAKER RACES.

The Hilo Tribune says that:
''The Advertiser unblushingly
compares the Hawaiians to the
savages of lands seized by Euro
pean cOnquerorS." 1t does. 1t
compares them with that marvel
Gus race of East Indians whose in
tellectual faculties Lord Macau-
lay estimated as quite equal to the
European. Great Britain permits
no self government whatever to
these 300,000,000. The Advertiser
cited this instance, in the hope
that Mr.. T. H. Davies, or any 9th
er thoughtful Englishman would
explain why the fixed policy of the
greatest nation on earth, of refus-
ing weaker races the right of self
rule, would not apply here. We
do not say that it should. We are
not discussing that question. But
we would like to know why loyal
subjects of the British Queen do
not favor the policy of refusing
self-rule to the natives which the
British nation accepts without re
servation. in spite of the past elo-
quence of Edmund Burke, in de-
nOuncing its injustice, cruelty and
piracy. One of the strange
phases of our Lilliput insular life
is. that there are educated, intelli-
gent, and responsible Englishmen

CHINESE HOMES.

We are told on excellent au-
thority that there is larger mum
Der of Chinese "homes" on these
Islands. in which the ideas and
habits of the Anglo-SaXOn prevail,
than there is in any other place
outside of China, in proportion TO
the population. 1t is said that they
are Christian homes. 1t is per
haps enough if they are homes
where woman is treated and hon
ored as she should be.
Whatever may be the religious
views, in the future OF the many
Chinese children now attending
our public schools it is certain that
with their present environment,
they will abandon the ideas pre-
vailing in China, and largely as
simulate themselves to the Anglo
SaxOns. Whether they will as
simulate their vices or virtues
first. remains to be seen.
Unless there is "a decided in
crease in the numbers of Ameri-
cans and Europeans, the Asiatics
will in a generation become the
the most powerful social element
here, in education, in wealth, and
even in political power. If any
one chooses to realize what the flu
ture will be, he has only to study
the rise and marvellous growth OF
the Chinese in HOngkOng, Singa-
pore, Penang. The Englihmen
mOnOpolized the rich tin mines of
the Banca Straits for half a cen
tury. But the frugal Chinese
coolies watched and waited. All
things came to them, and they
now own the mines and the
wealth.
If immigration be absolutely
stopped, the increase of the Asia
tic race will be rapid. The chill
dren now in the kindergartens
and schools, will become great
factors, in our social and political
problems.
One of the most striking illus
trations of the rapid changes here
is, the racial condition of the Ka-
mehameha schools for girls. The
purely POlynesian faces make up
a small minority. The story of
the dying Polynesian is told at Il
glance. One of the interesting
studies will be the relative value,
in the future, of the mixture of
Polynesian with the blood of Eu-
ropean, Chinese and Japanese
Which breed will possess the
strongest staying powers?
The gradual emigration of OuI
rich men to foreign climes will be
of much assistance to the easy
and peaceful conquest of the Isl
ands. The importation of more
Asiatic labOrers will not decrease
the strength of the Asiatic grip.

COMPLETELY CLEAN ED.
X.Librarian Spofford's Deficit EX'
planned.

When it was announced some
months since that there was a deficit
in the funds Of the Congressional Lib
rary al Washington, ii was confidently
expected that an investigation would
at once vindicate Librarian a. r.
Spofford. The shortage of $4,000 was
made good by Mr.. Spofford and it was
conceded that the deficit could have
been made possible only through care
lessness.
The new Librarian, Mr. Young, as
sisted by the chief of the m0ney-order
division of the Postoffice, has made
a diligent search for the error. Tuck
ed away in various places in Mr.. Spot
ford's desks have been found hundreds
of uncance,led money-OrdeTs, many Of
them dating back TO as remote a year
as 1870. The greater part of these
had been received in payment for
copyrights The POstOffice Department
had constantly notified Mr.. Spofford
that there were money-Orders drawn
to him that had never been presented
for payment. Sometimes Mr.. Spofford
would respond.
Although many Of the orders have
expired by limitation, the Government
has expressed a willingness to pay
them by cash or warrant on the Treas
ury to Mr.. Spofford up to the amount
that he has paid out to meet the de-
felt

The People Believe
What They Read About Hoods

Their Faith in This Medicine is

Hoods Sarsaparilla is not merely SIM
pie preparation of SarsapariIIa, Dock,

Besides these excellent alternatives. it
also contains those great anti bilious and
liver remedies, Mandrake and Dandelion.

curative agents are tremendously com
bined in Hoods Sarsaparilla, and it is
carefully prepared under the personal
supervision of regularly educated phar-

the people have in Hoods Sarsaparilla a

up.
Loud (Cal.) attacked the action of the
Committee on Military Affairs in not
permitting him a fair opportunity TO
be heard upon the selection of the Cal

clared that Major Bonsall was unknown
