RIFLES USED FOR PRIMERS.
Missionaries Utilize the Anxiety of
Japanese to Learn English.

Jananese to Learn English.
Yokohama Letter in New York Observer
There has recently arisen in Japan
great desire to learn the English language
AS the revision of the treaties will soon
omen the country to foreigners, il is @x-
nected that many win avil themseiN es of
the privilege of a residence in any part OF
the country that they may select for bust
ness or other purposes. This will make
il important for the officials to understand
the language of those who may come I'M
dor their jurisdiction. AS a consequence,
the missionaries are everywhere besieged
nv the policemen, judges and employees on
the RAILWAYS TO teach them English. In
many cases classes have been formed Tor
tbis purpose. and yet but a small portion
Of those who wish instruction are being
taught
onnortunity thus afforded to teach the
Bib.e. In all cases where missionaries
give lessons in English they insist upon
some portion of the time being given TO
fine study OF the scriptures. II is gen
orally believed that TO acquire a knowl-
eaga Of our language the study of the
Rible is essential. There is also no doubt
n growing conviction that Christianity is
the basis of the highest type of civiliza-
lion. and if this country is to take place
with the leading nations of the world II
must not be hampered by systems that
have been shown to be incapable of pro-
ducing the best results.
some. and perhaps a good number, are
anxious to have a religion that will form
better basis of ethics. and so they favor
the Introduction Of Christianity. And no
doubt Their are not few who really hun
ger after the truth that is only found in
firm belief in the gospel Of Christ
The CONSEQUENCE of ali this is an in
creased demand for English Bibles and
Testaments. which is very gratifying.
nnrinp che six months ending June 30
tbere were sold by the agency of the
Rible societies in Japan 349 English Bibles
and 1o6 English Testaments.

what the req Hat Costs.

From the Glasgow Mail.
The red hat of the Cardinal costs him
more money than Rings pay for any, ex-
cept their very best crowns Before ac-
cepting it, the grateful pnelate must make
offerings to the propaganda and to his
titular church at Rome, and pay fees
to a long list of officials ranging from
chamberlains of the vatican down to the
cooks and sweepers and soldiers of the
Swiss Guard Indeed, the new cardinal
has to pay fees at every step, from the
moment of his creation to the occasion of
his receiving the red hat in public con-
sistory, and when all is over he finds him
self out of pocket to the extent of $500 at
least.

DOWNRIGHT FALSEHOODS.

The average tourist writer makes err
rors, but one must always give him the
credit of doing so unwittingly but there
is yet another class who tell deliberate
falsehoods of malice prepense. OF this
class is one John Gagen, who claims to
have come to the Islands shortly after
their annexation and to have spent
considerable time in visiting the va
rious parts of the group. Who Mr..
Gagen may be or what his particular
line of business may be, outside of be-
ing an outrageous liar, The Star has
been unable to find out.
Among Mr.. Gagen's cheerful state
ments is the fact that all business is
carried on by Chinese and Japanese and
that Americans stand no show what
ever. This calm statement in the face
of the number of stores on Fort street
occupied by Americans, British and
Germans, and the numerous small bus
inesses springing up in other parts of
the city in HilO, and in many parts of
the Islands. A person has only to take
up the daily papers and glance through
much truth there is in the statement.
Then Mr.. Gagen evolves a certain
w. F. Irving, formerly of Port Town
send National Bank" who has lex
pended all his means in trying to es-
tablish himself in business" He does
not say what the means were; whether
they ran into the millions, or wheth-
fifty dollars on landing, nor does he say
what the business was to be, whether
a bank or a peanut stand. However,
whateyer the business venture was, it
has proved a failure because of "a COM
bination formed against Americans"
But when Mr. Gagen gets on the
question of morality he let's himself
lose, and he yells forth in loud head
lines, Morality Unknown" He states
such thing as a marriage ceremony
is almost unknown among natives"
and he considers that after American
annexation there will have to be a
huge penitentiary for more than half
the population, who are such frightful-
ly wronsdoers.
Where this malodorous Yilifier picked
up hi knowledge goodness only knows.
He must have spent his time in the
purlieus of this city, which are no
worse than those of any city, and have
based his views upon a careful study
of the manners of Pauahi street and
its vicinity. II would be. as just to
judge San Francisco by Grant avenue
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1899-01-11

and Chinatown, London by Radcliffe
Highway, or Hamburg by the Lilien-
strasse The statement is a gross and
infamous lie. Let him look through
the law records of his own state and OF
California, only, and he will find many
cases where the marriage tie is but very
loosely worn indeed. 1t is the fashion
among certain low class of people to
deride the morality of the Hawaiians,
but it is often done by those who have
failed i'm their purpose of breaking
down that morality. 1t is necessary to
refute Mr.. Gagen-and so necessary to
treat of an unpleasant subject, and
both Hagen and his subject are equal
ly disgusting.
irresponsible writer's of this kind do
an infnity of mischief. They create
wrong impressions and make people,
who do not take pains to verify the
supposed information, believe the lies
they tell. The probability is that Mr..
Gagen came here under the impression
that he could support life without the
slightest necessity for work, and was
disappointed to find a hustlng commu-
nifty, we'll organized and very busy. If
he had capital and was a hustler him
self he might have soon got forward
and made a living, but he evidently was
not that kind of a man. He is simply
a low minded, irresponsible liar.

THE APPEAL TO CAESAR.

The Chinese are not going to give
up the fight for entrance upon return
permits without strong struggle. At
torney Robertson is very likely to go
to Washington to present their case
before the Secretary of State, and if
need be perfect an appeal to the Unit
ed States supreme court. AS to the le
gal side of the matter as far as it has
gone there can be little doubt, but as
to it's equity there is considerable doubt
and this point will be brought forward
strongly by their advocate.
This is one of the first cases where
the appeal to Caesar" has been made.
Caesar in this case is a very different
kind of an animal from the Caesar of
former days, In the past it meant how
much cash might be put up in the Sem
ate House, and Jugurtha, leaving Rome
said, "Urbem venalem, 81 emptorem in
venerit"-a city for sale if it should by
chance find a buyer-and Jugurtha
knew for he had bought many Senators
and a horde of lesser evils. But now
there is no city or no Senate for sale
We know, and every one knows, that
such questions are going to. be settled
upon the basis of abstract justice.
1t is one of the advantages of hav-
ing lived to the end of the nineteenth
century to feel that all the pig-headed
wrong that was done by our ancestors
is no longer possible; that pure, alb
stract right rules, where before might
used to rule In point of fact that we
are approaching in reality as well as
| in theory the great millennium for which
! generations have been waiting.
One delights to think that now all
legislation is pure, that no man would
sell his vote however great the tempta-
ton might be. That when a vote is
given there is no afterthought about it
no idea of how much advantage might
be gained by constituents or how much
loss sustained by the individual mem.
Der. To have lived in this blessed time
seems really enough, for in other times
it was different. Then men were vena
not only in Roman times, but in Anglo
Saxon times. They were terribly vena
in England under Walpole; they have
even been venal in the United State.
since the days of the great Washing
ton-who was truly good man t.
whom the worlds gone by and thu
worlds to come may doff the hat Blu
the venality is a thing of the past anC
we may be perfectly satisfied that tn,

If an appropriation is made for the
repair of a road, has the Minister of
Interior any right to eXpend that mon
ey for totally new road? This is a
question which is being inquired into
by a number of citizens who are inter-
ested in the Waialae road. In this it is
not, as far as an outsider can see, a
question of whether or not the new
road proposed is better or more desir-
able, but whether the government has
the right to divert a distinct appropria-
ton from one purpose to another. The
question is an important one, inasmuch
as ii involves the responsibility of the
Cabinet to the Legislature and through
that body to the people. If a diversion
can be made in a small thing, it can
be made in greater things, and once
that principle is allowed there is no
valid reason why a certain lump sum
should not be allowed and the Ministers
permitted to apportion it at their own
sweet Wills
