two or three years. As it is, according
to the postoflice schedule, there will
be about ten steamers a month pass
ing through Honolulu during the en-
suing year, and as fact there will be
many more, for that does not take in
to consideration the many casual stea-
mers, nor any of the Seattle line.
Moreover there will be a considerable
number going direct to Manila and
back for regular troops will have to
be sent to the Philippines and the
volunteers will have to be brought
back, and then again large supplies
will have to be forwarded.
We are really only at the very be-
ginning of the great volume of COM
merce whose keels will pillow this
ocean in every direction. The present
generation can only guess at the fu-
ture development, it is Il generation
vet unborn that will see it in its full
fruition. But it will come all the
sooner now that the United States has
foothold in the far east and a step

FOUNDERS DAY.

On Monday the Kamehameha
schools pay honor to the memory of
the foundress of their institutions.
There has been no grander monu-
ment erected to the memory of any
one in these Islands, than the monu-
ment of constantly growing and i'm
proving youth which is seen in the
Kamehameha schools today. Other
monuments may crumble and decay,
this monument improves with time,
it is as Horace put it in his writings
"aere perennius," more enduring than
monumental brass or sculptured mar
BILE.
| In what way more worthy could the
| Chiefess Bernice Pauahi Bishop have
expended the wealth which came to
her from her ancestors, than by car
! ing for the future advantage of her
race. King Lunalilo left his property
to found a home for the aged and in
| digent of his people. 1t was a very
excellent bequest, but Mrs Bishop
! thought of the future and determined
to do all in her power to elevate her
countrymen and country women, and
to make them fitted for the struggle
for existence.
And her bequest has been well APP
piled. The schools are a credit TO
any community, and the best of tai
ent has been employed in carrying
them on. Each year shows an i'm
provement, and each year sends out
young people into the Island world
better and better equipped mentally
} morally and physically to contend
in the battle of life and to rise t.
honor and distinction among thei1
, fellows.
Then indeed it is right for those
who are experiencing the fostering
: care of the departed chiefess to Dc
honor to her memory, to remember il
: solemn thought the good woman wht
has gone before on that path that al
must tread. But it is not only tn,
Kamehameha pupils who honor her
hundreds in the community think o
her and remember. And when thos
who knew her on earth have all pass
: ed away and are forgotten, her memo
: ry will live in the hearts of those VIII
will be the recipients of her fore
thOuUht and of her bounty in untOli
years to come.

STEAMSHIP LINES.

New steamship lines on the Pacific
are now all the talk in various coun-
tries. The latest proposed is a line
to establish direct communication be-
tween Siberia and the United States,
connecting with the terminus of the
Trans-Siberian railroad. But near as
that railroad is approaching it will
be at least three years before it is in
full operation. However people do
come through now, but it is as an out
let for freight that it will command
a steamer line direct to the States and
begin to revolutionize the commercial
relations of the Pacific in many direc-
tions.
The railway will be 3,G44 miles when
completed. OF this i'm November
there were 2,O15 miles finished on the
St. Petersburg side, and AS from the
Pacific, or Nladivostocl end, leaving
1,151 miles yet to be built. The con-
struction goes on at the rate of 331
miles year, though of course it
might be pushed along faster. But
the government of the Car moves
slowly, and surely, and does not care
to hurry a work which must be done
thoroughly and well, owing to the ex-
tremes of heat and cold to which it is
subjected.
In connection with the trans Pacific
steam lines Russian magazine speaks
of one as already running between
San Diego, California, and Vladivos-
took, calling at Honolulu. Such a
line has been talked of, but it has new
err materialized. However, there is no
doubt that there will be q number of
new lines running within the next

Russia is Independent in the matter
of sugar and raises sufficient for her
own consumption with enough over
for export. From September l, 1897,
to September /. 1898, the total output
of the Russian sugar retineries, ac-
cording to Consul Smith of Moscow,
was 667.419 tons, of which 5j6,457
tons were sold in Russia, and the re-
mainder exported. There is an excise
duty on sugar amounting to 2H cents
per pound. But as a sugar consum-
ing country Russia is away behind
the United States and Great Britain.
The consumption of sugar to a certain
extent marks the prosperity of a coun-
try. Where there are ample means
and good wages sugar will be used
lavishly, as it is in the States. Where
the people are poor they use cheap
substitutes, such as molasses and
honey, and they do without many of
the sweetened foods, such as pies,
cakes and so forth.

HER MOTHERS GIRL.

A bright, handsome girl on the
borderland between childhood and
womanhood, is at once a source Of
pride and anxiety to her mother.
But she has grown fast and is still
growing. Nature makes stern de-
mands upon the slender body. The
skin is dull, the eyes lustreless, the
cheeks and neck are sunken, the APP
petite is capricious, and the move
ments languid. The trouble is i'm
purity and sluggishness Of the blood.
1t needs the life giving elements from
which alone the body derives its vigor
and health. The remedy is

climes. Whatever the cause, the
Christmas services are always we'll

PREPARATION,

of the nutritive properties Of Pure
Cod Liver Oil, extracted by us from
fresh cod livers, combined with Syrup
of Hypophosphites, Extracts Of Malt
and Wild Cherry Bark, has saved
many such girls. 1t contains all
the tlesh-forming and strengthening
qualities of the oil without its loath-
some taste. The most SenSitire and
feeble can take it, as they take syrup,
and digest it perfectly. Taken before
meals it creates an appetite, stops the
emaciating process, puts flesh on the
thin ana bOly body, and rudy cheeks
soon tell the story of pure blood, good
digestion and rec vered health. Girls
and women gain weight an vigor by
the use Of it. To give it trial is to
believe in it always thereafter. 1t is
food and medicine combined. Genu-
inc only gives results from the first
dose. Sold by all chemists.

ther secures absolute obedience from his
minor children when they are out of his

army should move like clockwork and
always have at hand just what is needed
and at the exact hour? If there have
been any unusual disasters in our armies
and if they have resulted from criminal
negligence, there will be time for the
truth to be known, and lawful and reason
able methods for finding it out. But it
must be evident to every rational man
that just judgments cannot be pronounced
upon Government officials by mere circu-
ation of ex parte statements, many of
which originate in unreliable sources and
most of which carry with them no direct
information as to where the blame should
rest.
Would it not be well if the public miEd

REMEMBER YOUR COUNTRY.
An Admonition for Those Who Are Per-
mitting Their Emotions to Con-
troll Them.

Cincinnati Enquirer, Dem.
1t is good time to recall and reiterate
the famous sentiment of Commodore De-
catur "Our country, always right; but
right or wrong our country" Of course
it is difficult to separate our country
from our countrymen, and our country
men have wayward habit of giving way
to their emotions. Like all the rest of
mankind, they are composed very largely
of human nature. This means that as
a people we pass rapidly from one frame
of mind to another. When irritated the
average American cannot be relied upon
for calmness and composure, and when
real mad he can generally be relied upon
to say pretty hard things. Under a
strong tension of patriotism everything is
