THE SAKE QUESTION.

The free importation of California
wines was a temperance measure" is
said by Senators HoIstein and Schmidt.
in their report on the bill to regulate
the sale of liquors. We doubt it. 1t
was really permitted in order to make
the California wine merchants feel
kindly towards Us. If it was a tenn
perance measure, it was adopted in
spite of the best human experience to
the contrary. No amount of local pro
ductiOn of excellent cIarets has made
the American people a wine drinking
people. Cheap as it is, it is not gem
orally used in hotels, boarding houses
or homes. The Americans like beer.
and prefer it. Some of them like
whiskey and will take nothing else.
One may stop at a hundred average
hotels, and the bar rooms will furnish
them only whiskey and beer. Even in
California, the cheap native wines are
not largely used at home, but are ex-
ported

drink muscatel as claret
When our Legislature cut off a cheap
supply of sake to the Japanese, it acted
in a paternal way with a vengeance. It
raised, not a question of revenue, but
one of forcing national customs, just
as it would have disturbed the COM
if it had put an internal rev.
enue duty on, milk of a dollar a gallon
The American Government, in its re-
cent search for revenue, dared not raise
the price of beer 1 cent per glass.
The Republican party saw defeat in
it.
The Japanese have no voting pow
er, but it is not safe to try expert
ments with large bodies of men. If
they feel injured, the time comes when
they get their revenge.
The question of revenue is impor-
tant, but insignificant in comparison
with that of touching the customs and
of men.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1898-04-06
THE NATIVE GIRLS.

A person familiar with the condition
of the native Hawaiian women. in re-
ply to the complaint of native woman
that appeared on Tuesday in our
columns, that she and others were suf-
fering from foreign competition, states
that the native women have failed TO
take advantage of their opportunities in
the matter of domestic service; that
there has always been a willingness to
use them as domestics, but that they
fail to answer the purpose. 1t is, we
believe, a fact that the natives and
part natives who have considerable
means, do not employ them but gener-
ally prefer the Asiatics as domestics
If the natives themselves prefer for
eigners to their own race in this re-
spect, it shows the want of confidence
of the natives in their own people,
Even as seamstresses they do not gen.
orally give satisfaction, owing to their
rather indOlent habits, and want of
ambition. OF course, there are excep-
tions to this general statement, and
the lot of some native, and part ma
tive women is a hard one, because they
are willing and anxious to work.
From philanthropic standpoint the
case Of the native girls is a difficult
one. Just what to do with them, how to
educate them, how to aid them, with
out making them objects of charity, is
a matter that has for a long time,
caused much anxious thought among
their white friends. Even if simple
industries were provided for them, it
remains a question whether or not they
would meet the requirements.
The experiment of training them to
carry out some general industry, on a
large scale, has not been tried. Thor
ough training, not teaching, is requir-
ed for such q. purpose. Many industries
might be suggested, but there would
be nc. success in it, unless there was a
persistent training of the pupils for
several years. But would the native
girls engage in it? Are not the social
conditions here such that they would
refuse to follow it IN any considerable
numbers? Would they be steady
work ers?
The question of the education of
these girls is a most perpleXing one.
One thing is certain, the education of
the head is useless, unless that educa-
ton can command a corresponding
support. The American girl is finding
that support in many ways. Is there
any opening for the native girl?
