The natives will not 20 back to the
rural districts. unless driven by hun
ger. or by the attractions Of a country
life which they are now powerless to
create. Their kulianas were valuable
only as they were supplied with water.
These have been largely absorbed by
the plantations, and were isolated.
Only the selection of the best quail
ity of land, by kindly hands, WHO were
willing to lay out districts in which
the natives could settle, and an album
dance Of water supplied by philan-
thrOpic capital, could meet the crisis
caused by the crowding races. This
has not been done.
Although the great opportunity for
restoring the native race passed away
in the sale of that isolated tract of
land, ideal for the purpose, on the ISL
and of Molokai, 1t is still possible to
gather together in several spots few
small native communities, place them
within the right environment and pre-
vent their further decline. But 1t can
not be done by treating the native as
IL he was the descendant of the Puri-
tan, and instead of giving him amuse-
ments, examining him with dry theo-
logical literature when even now the
later children of the Puritans reject
with disgust.
A benefcent despOt, in the years
gone by, would have gathered the ma
tives together, as they decreased in
numbers, into groups in the valleys
where the environment was most IA
v0rable. and the friction of the strong
err races was the least, and, above an
things, forbidden the young men and
women from tasting the city life; the
city life which is the sore spot, con-
fessedly, in European and American
civilization, and which has been. and
is now, rank poison to the natives.
When the famous school at Law
renceville, New Jersey, was founded
few years ago, by the John c. Green
trust, It was determined before all
things that it should not be placed
near any city or town, because the ex-
perience Of all educators has been that
the influences OF cities and towns were
demoralizing to young students. #
such be the fact with the hardy An
gl6-Saxon race. then the same condi-
tions with the native race must work

SUGAR REFINERS

CHICAGO. June 6.-The Record to-
morrow will say: That negotiations
are in progress looking toward NAM
moth sugar consolidation is now ad-
mitted by one of the men most inter-
ested. These stories have been circu-
lated at various times, remote and re-
cent, but nothing confirmatory has
been obtainable. 1t is now asserted
that the deal on hand at present Is in
tangible shape, but IL is real enough to
have necessitated conferences In New
York and the plans are now under con-
sideration by the executives concerned.
From the widely different sources to-
day came reports of an independent
union of the American Sugar Refining
Company with the Glucose Sugar Re-
timing Company, with the subsequent
absorption, by purchase of otherwise,
of the plants offered by the Arbuckle
interests and the Doscher refineries,
with perhaps other competing plants.
Il can say nothing definite at this
time" said one of the head men of the
recent conferences. II am In con-
fidential position with reference to the
matter. But I am at liberty to say
there is good deal more In the re-
ports of a consolidation OF sugar inter-
ests than is generally credited. Nego-
tiations are In progress ON the general
lines indicated. but ! cannot speak

An able writer on the subject de-
clares that the Catholic Church OF
America will be the most valuable and
efficient force for bringing the people
of the island within religious innu-
ences.
The colonial rule will gradually es-
tablish secular schools, and there will
be a demand for a large number OF

Will instruction be in the Spanish or
English language? Can the Federal
Government compel the children to
learn the English language? In the
cases of Louisiana and Florida the
transition from the use Of the Spanish
and French languages to the English
was not difficult. owing to the rapid
influx OF English-speaking people.
But there is little room in the island
for American settlers.
How are the children of the island
to be trained in the principles Of self
government? How are the people to
be 'leavened" with correct ideas OF
democracy?
An enterprising, thrifty and indus
trious people would, Of their own ac-
cord, seek knowledge Of the English
language and OF American ideas. The
Porto Ricans are not enterprising, or
thrifty, or Industrious.
The problems are many. How will
they be solved?

Although private charity does much,
1t Is an injustice upon those who fur

every community that 1t is not the
rich who bear the burden Of caring for
the sick, but the poor and those whose
circumstances bring them into con-
tact with suffering. It has been re-
peatedly said, in the cities, that the
poor carry a burden Of caring for the
sick out OF all proportion to their
means, in comparison with the rich.
II becomes the duty OF the state to
divide the burden equally upon all
according to property.

trustees, would establish and endow a

BILE institutions. According to some of
the social theorists. the state should
own and operate quasi-public corpora

be made on these lines by the promo

the State would represent Humanity,

proposition to enrich individuals, there
Is nothing startling in it. As a prop
osition to alleviate the miseries of the
world. 1t Is indeed rather radical, and
is open to the criticism of giving hui
manity altogether too much of good

WOMEN AND ANIMALS.

In spite Of their political disabilities,
the women are already stron,, polit-
lcal and social force. Their efforts are
especially directed on the lines which
men have generally neglected. Thesr
efforts arouse the moral sense. and are
reflected in legislation. The Legisla-
ture of the State of Washington,
through the influence of women large
ly, passed a law requiring teachers In
the public schools to give three times
in each week. instruction IN the right
treatment OF animals. 4 MANUAL of
instruction was required. This was
supplied in Heart Culture book
written by Miss Emma Page, who is
blind. Other compilations have been
made by Miss Eddy, in the Songs OF
of Happy Life" and by Mrs. 4. r
futile, who took the prize in the An
gel Prize REGULATIONS.
The Woman's Branch of the Phila-
delphia Society for the Prevention OF
Cruelty to Animals has received a
legacy OF 100000. The society pub
fishes "A journal titled the journal of
Zoophily." the editor of which Is Mrs.
Caroline Earl White. 1t also furnishes
in Philadelphia an ambulance for the

In locating the Kamehameha Schools
in the suburbs of this city, the expe-
rience of those who are the best in
structors of youth were not followed.
So far rs it was the intention OF the
founder to give instruction to native
youth living in the city, 1t was a prac-

resided in the city, but 1t is not de-
srable in drawing the young away

Looking at II from the standpoint of
The Industrial education, the effect of

to keep them there.
The causes which operate to with

the monotony of rural life, and con-
centrate them in the cities, where they
can crafty their gregarious instincts,
operate with greater force among the
Hawaiians.
In place where men OF many races
are found, who are stronger than the
natives in character, industry and
thrift, the natives should be excluded
