than anything that they have ever re-
ceived, and the work is no harder than
that to which they have been accus-
toned.
The social and economical conditions
here have been thoroughly examined
into by the Italian Government. The
Italians who are employed by S. NJ.
Damon, were talked to by the captain
and officers of the last Italian ship that
visited the Islands, their quarters were
inspected, and the kind of work they
were called upon to do was studied.
Besides this the letters of Consul
Schaefer have given valuable Informal
ton. At all events the Italian Govern
ment is satisfied with the outlook for
its people.
Though 5000 or even 10000 Italians
may seem a large number, they Will
not be very prominent when mingled
in with our population of $1,000, which
must be about our figure now. They
will be an entirely different class of
people from the Asiatic, and will in
time become like our Portuguese popu-
lation, which we regard as the most
thrifty, the most industrious and the
most satisfactory of our imported pop
ulation. 1t has always been pity that
the Portuguese immigration ceased
when it did, and there are many who
look forward to a renewal of that i'm
migration, but now that it is possible
to get Italians, it is to be hoped that
the planters will avail themselves of
the opportunity, and let us receive an
addition to our population from the
same source that is pouring in a flood
upon the mainland, through Castle
Garden. The advantage we shall have,
however, is that our immigrants will
be selected.

The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1899-05-19
A VICTORY.

All honor to Minister MOTIFS Smith. He
has carried through successfully what
older men have tried to do and failed.
He has proved very conclusively that
grey hair is no "sine quo non" for eff
fecting things which are of the great
est benefit to a community. His en-
thusasm in a cause which he carefully
thought out and convinced himself was
right, swept away the opposition of in
ertia and conservatism and one more
un-American feature of Hawaii has
been consigned to the limbo of the past.
Minister Mott Smith took the fee sys-
TEN under consideration with a very
few hours after accepting his port
folio. Hardly had he been in office be-
fore he was approached by some one TO
grant a scholarship for some children.
He Immediately began to consider and
he very soon convinced himself that the
system was wrong. Why should any
one, in a country which professed to
have free educational system, be OBJ
liged to come and beg for a child to
enable it to have the full benefit of the
ShuNdllOll tllcll olelbt plONldCh' L@NClS
feeling of Americanism was aroused in
the minister's mind and he started
forth on a campaign which has ended
in a sweeping victory.
The Star has advocated this move to
the full extent of its power and has
been proud to be enrolled upon the side
which means progress. The free school
is the pride of the United States, we are
a part of the United States, and the
free school, free in every particular,
will now be the pride of Hawaii. The
ubiquitous scholarship" system is
abolished, and there need be no more
cringing and knee bending to obtain an
education. What ever the State has to
give is there for the children of citizens
to take, if they have the mental power
to avail themselves of it, This is the
true aristocracy, the aristocracy OF
brains, and of such an aristocracy ev.
cry Republican can feel proud. We
have not inculcated this heretofore, we
shall inculcate it in future. The chill.
dren of the territory will learn it is not
money or rank, or birth that measures
worth, but that
THE minds the standard of the man.

ing the newspapers this morning and
enjoying a well-earned gloat at our Q
pense. Once upon a time this same
young woman appeared here without
signal success and-well, you remem-
Der the sort Of town she called US.
But now at last she is come into her
own and the laugh is on the other side.
In LA Tosca." at the Columbia
theater last night, she had a part to
play, and she played it as no other
woman has played it in English, and
her triumph in the presence of an audi
ence that was at first none too hope
full and sympathetic was overwhelming
ly complete. After the premature dis.
closure Of Janet Waldorf and the un-
skilled genius of Nance O'Neil, Miss
Walsh's strenuous acting and disci-
plired temperament are doubly well
come. She is not a question of the
morrow, but a good, glad fact Of today.
She is an actress to be reckoned with
seriously. To say she has fallen into
the mantle of the late Fanny Davenport
would be cheap praise. She acted
Tosca last night as Fanny Davenport
never dared to act it. She is indebted
to Miss Davenport for the play, the
"production," Melbourne Mcdowell,
and the opportunity-that is all.
The most notable quality in Miss
Walsh's i~mpersonation was in its in
geniousness. Throughout the various
scenes of love, jealousy, terror, revul-
sion and despair, this righteousness
was never wholly absent. Floria was
always a girl whose heart was love and
whose head was heart; she was IN
affected. unheroic-even in the big
moment when she stabbed Scarpia the
keynote was simplicity. and I am glad
to mention that she did not end this
scene with the usual theatrical device
Of placing candles at the dead mans
head.
Miss Walsh and company will pro-
duce "La Tosca'' at the Billings opera
house June II.
