A GRIEVANCE.

The Japanese journal, the Jimmin,
makes an admission with regard to
Japans policy toward the United
States which is not likely to be en-
dorsed by the government 1t says
the reason which influenced Japan to
obstruct America in the Philippines"
Now the Japanese have posed as the
friends and almost allies of the Unit
ed States, so that if the Jimmin is
truthful it is making a very unpleas-
ant statement of Japanese duplicity.
However, the Jimmin says that the
obstruction" policy gave way, and
hints that had it not been for Japan's
kindness in withholding her hand
the United States could not have had
her way so easily as she does" 1t is
to be hoped that General Otis and Ad-
miral Dewey are thoroughly apprecia-
tive of this forbearance on the part of
the Empire of the Chrysanthemum.
What, however, troubles the Japa-
nese most is the possible closing of the
Hawaiian Islands as field for Japan's
redundant labor supply. Over this the
Jimmin mourns. If one reads between
the lines one will see that the Jimmn
represents the section of Japanese
thought which calculated to fill the Ha-
waiian Islands with Japanese and then
demand the franchise, with the object
of ultimate absorption by Japan. An
nexation to the United States killed
this hope forever. The expansionists
of Japan looked then to the Philippine
Islands, but again the United States
has been forehanded, and the pros
pect is again clouded. No wonder the
Jimmin is angry. The condition of
mind explains why a portion of the
vernacular press of Japan so greedily
seizes upon and republishes as facts
the lies against American soldiers sent
forth by the Filipino Junta at Hong
kong.

The City of Columbia sale has been
again postponed. 1t was only the
other day that everyone thought that
the last had been heard of her, and
that Harry Evans, would ring down
the curtain on her career, but she has
brought him into legal difficulties. She
brings bad luck to everyone who is
connected with her. Away back in last
year when she came round the Horn,
she commenced putting misfortune up
on those who possessed her. 1t is plain
that she must have been commenced
on a Friday, launched on a Friday,
sailed from the east on a Friday, and
if she is not broken up, some of these
weeks she will sink on a Friday, and
SO end all her troubles. A man who
owns her ought to be glad to pay mon
ey to any one who will take her off his
hands. She is a combination of hoodoo
i'll luck and wicked fairy.

FINANCIAL STATEMENT.


The auditor general publishes the
monthly cash statement for the month
of February, 1899 with a comparison
for the same month last year. The to-
tai amount of current receipts is
$177, 514.93, as against $131, 664 SO for last
February, which is satisfactory. On
the other hand the current expendi-
lures on current accounts in February,
1898, amounted to $99, 62S SO, while those
upon current account of this year
amounted to $3.50, 7OS.S9, being pretty
close up to the current receipts for the
month. Under the Loan Act, in Feb
ruary, 1898, only Sc, 1873 65 were expend-
ed, and in 1899 from the same source
$24, 1880 have been spent, making in
all an expenditure, for February 1899,
of 1894, 5O7.69, against sos, S22.31 for the
same month in 1898. This does not look
like undue parsimony.
1t is interesting to look at the items
of receipts from the customs and pos
tai bureaus. The former brought in
$50. 751.13 and the latter S12,S24.17, or
$99,575 in all. The expenditures for
running these bureaus were SO, 966.41 for
customs, and $7,547.74 for postoffice,
making $17,514.15 as total. Deducting
this sum from the total receipts we get
sS2,061.15, which would be the net re-
revenue for the month that we would
surrender to the federal government
when it takes hold. No wonder the
Minister of Finance desires to keep a
good balance in the treasury to tide us
over the difficulties which must come
until our finances adjust themselves to
the new condition of affairs. And this
period of adjustment will last over
some length of time.

ISLAND PROGRESS.
cheap.

There is a considerable rush to put
in new land in cane, and daily suitable
locations are being found. There is
much yet to be developed in Hawaii,
and Maui in the direction of Honoko-
hau should supply at least one more
plantation. There is a fine water sup
ply which could be tapped in the up
per part of the valley and brought up
on the flats that lie between Honoko-
hau and Kahakuloa-
Molokai and Lanai have sprung into
life with plantations, and these were
Islands which were utterly neglected
before. Oahu is pushing forward in
the race, and bids fair to equal, if not
to exceed, some of it's larger neigh
bors. Eva plantation was the banner
one of the group last year.
The only Island that has remained
quiescent during this period is Kauai,
and yet there is much land on Kauai
quite capable of high cultivation which
at present is covered with guava and
underbrush, while the water which
might irrigate it pours uselessly into
the encircling ocean.
1t is fact that Kauai has ever been
a conservative Island, and different
from the other Islands of the group.
You can tell a Kauai Hawaiian by
his speech. The foreigners who have
settled in Kauai are also different in
character from those who have settled
elsewhere. The fever of energy has at
last began to work upon the Island,
and Wahiawa changes from a cattle
ranch to a sugar estate, and others will
follow. But it is a certainty that those
who live there now will resent the
change, and not enjoy it. Progress,
however, sweeps all before it, and Ka-
uai con no more remain the quiet
pleasant, dreamy Island it mas been,
than the land about Chicago can be
peopled by Indians and wild animals,
as it was sixty or seventy years ago.

JAPANESE CRIMINALS.

The determination of certain classes
of the Japanese to shield any of their
countrymen who have committed crime
from it's consequences seems likely to
break down. 1t has given the police
authorities an immense amount of
trouble. In the Eva case, one of the
men, who now confesses to the crime,
was able to battle the efforts of the po-
lice for a long time. According to his
own statement some society of which
he is a member managed to hide him
from the police and eventually SNUG
gled him off to Kona. However money
eventually caught him. Had the re-
ward for his capture not been offered,
he might have escaped his deserts for
some time, now however he is lodged
in Jail. His friends" wanted money,
and as he had none to give them, they
were quite willing to take what money
they could get out of the government.
There is another japanese crime to
unravel and the alleged murderer has
been in the hands of the police, but
when the case came to trial, the wit
nesses who had been ready enough be-
fore the trial, were afflicted with loss
of memory and a complete alteration
of facts. So the government officers
had to enter a nolle prosequi, in order
to enable them to bring the man to
trial at some future time, should evil
dence yet be forthcoming.
The better class of Japanese and the
thrifty among the laborers are satisfi-
ed that their countrymen, if they COM
init crime, should be punished for it.
They no more desire to have thieves
and murderers among their ranks than
any other nationality.
The success of the police in this case
may be the forerunner of success in
other cases also. and it may be posi-

Another installment of James Ar
thur Gibsons article upon 1.-THE Open
Air Cure for Consumption" is publish
ed today. The subject is one of the
greatest interest to us on the Islands.
Mr.. Gibson claims that ninety per cent
of the patients that have accepted the
methods employed at Nordrach are
cured and become robust. When we
see that twenty-one sufferers died from
consumption in the Honolulu district
during the last two months anything
that can give hope to those sufferers is
worthy of deep consideration.

Being Held In Astoria.
PROF. J.H. ACKERAAN PRESIDeS
An Outline Of the Transactions at
YESTERDAY Morning and Evening
Sessions Of the Organization.
MORNING SESSION.

The Clatsop county teachers lnBtl.
tute of 1893 met In their first regular
session yesterday forenoon at the high
school building, with Superintendent
Lee In the chair. The first business
transacted was the Organization OF the
body, and included the election OF sec
rotary, censorg and the enrolment OF
all the teachers present Mrs. Jennie
Busey was elected secretary and Mrs
Krager, Miss Powell. Miss Warren and
Professor Clark were selected AZ cen
yors.
After the organization was perfected.
Professor Payne read very instruc-
tive paper entitled, "a Good RecIia-
ton"
Professor Payne's paper treated the
recitation as the chief instrument In a
teachers hands for fashloning the
minds Of the pupils. and dweh at some
length upon It's value as factor In
the concentration and retention Of
knowledge.
He said In part:
Carefully adjusted to It's work and
skillfully handled, II brings out the
lines OF thought, the symmetry Of
character and the finish OF refinement,
AT each stroke; aimlessly or clumsily
welded, II defaces the natural grain
OF individuality and covers up the de-
sign with confused Impressions.
. The object we are to strive for in 6
good recitation is to rouse the self-ac-
tlylty OF the child. All the imple-
ments OF school work are merely TO
stimulate that activity.
Whatever takes the place OF the
child's efforts Is obstructive and harm.
ful: whatever prompts them is good.
That developing activity which causes
the mind to grow in power must take
place largely in the recitation time"
The above quotation is but the very
small part OF most instructive paper
one that showed thoughtful consider.
alton and scholarly preparation.
A discussion on thoughts suggested
by Professor Payne's paper followed
rs reading. and was engaged in by
several OF the teachers.
After report by the censors, the
institute adjourned until the after.

AFTERNOON SESSION.

The afternoon session convened al
1850 with State Superintendent Acker-
man presiding, After roll call and gen.
eral singing Superintendent Ackermar
delivered an address on Necessity OF
Graded Course Of Study in District
Schools"
This address was an elaboration OF
the course Of study prepared by Sup
erintendent Alderman and which is
being generally adopted.
The rural school; that somewhat
abused member OF the scholastic ca
rcer, the subject OF the superintend-
ents address, is the best place to start
life work In teaching. The training
school of the normal was praised but
the criticism was made that the train
ing the teachers receive there will rath-
er weaken them for the work Of an un-
graded district school. This fault how.
ever is being somewhat eliminated by
practical course OF work that is being
introduced. As a teacher will not NJ
into a country school when trained dis.
'tinctly for graded school the plan
is being followed at Monmouth and
other normal schools Of sending out
students into the surrounding rural
schools there to receive practical ex.
perlence before graduation, and there,
by fitting themselves for any kind OF
work they might be called upon to do.
Professor Alderman explained that
the course of study was not new but
had been adopted in other states. He
spoke of the necessity of plans for the
success of a school and cited illustra.
tions of schools mlsmanaged without
them.
The superlntendents address and the
discussion that followed occupied the
time until 4;SO and then the institute
adjourned to meet again this morning
at $50.
Tonight there will be a session at the
NJ, E, church at which time President
of Portland university, will
