The Hawaiian, whose letter we
publish to-day, strikes note which
will find a response in the hearts OF
the youngsters of Hawaii, to whom
Kaiulani set a glorious example.
Let the girls aud boys from all the
public institutions join hands on
Sunday and draw the hearse on
which the remains of the young
Ali, the hope of the House OF Ha-
waii, will rest for the last time. The
proposition of our correspondent
may conflict with the program of
the Government, but, after all, Ka-
iulani belonged to Hawaii and not
to tho foreigners, who despise her
race and now throw to her a sop to
smooth over injuries and injustice.
Let the boys of the Kamehameha
School, and the. girls who accept
daily the benefits from the benevo-
lence OF Pauahi, who loved the little
. girl, turn out In body and show
homage to her remains, an act which
would be heartily approved of by
Charles r. Bishop, who will weep at
the loss of the girl in whom he took
a deep interest Let the girls of the
Kawaiahao Seminary put their
hands to the rope, which pulls to
the grave a young Hawaiian who
loved her race, and whose example
should always be followed by them.
Let the girls Of St. Andrews Priory
and the Roman Catholic Convent
help in taking to the Mausoleum the
young Ali, who befriended them and
loved them all.

Why cannot Hawaiian girls be-
come good servant? We see daily
the most impossible propositions
made by we'll. meaning men and wo-
men to erect factories and create in
dustries where Hawaiian girls can
find employment. There is no field
for any factory here and no indus
tries will be started as long as sugar
is King. But why not start a cook
ing school where girls can learn how
to cook meal, and where they can
be taught how to attend to the du-
ties OF house servant2 In Germany,
France, England and every other
country in Europe the servant class is
composed of females and they make
excellent cooks, housemaids, cham
bermaids, bartenders, etc. Why can
not the same system be in vogue
here? The Hawaiians are clever,
bright and ready to learn anything,
and surely there are some "haole"
ladies now in the millionaire bust
ness who could teach the young girls
how to cook, as we'll as they did
when working in the Gould" country
or how to sweep as they did when
"home" and how to do general
housework when they worked fol
So a month and board. Give the
Hawaiian girls a show to make an
honest living, and abandon the pre-.
valent idea that they are dangerous
to "hubbies" and "sonnies." The
"be-panted" sex we're just the same
in the "ould" world as all oul
wealthy ex-cooks and maids know
who now "despise" and run dowr
"the Hawaiians."

Au important meeting Of the New
York Clearing House committee was
held this week to consider plan
providing for compulsory charge by
the New York Clearing House banks
for the collection of couotry checks.
This matter has been mcosed for sometime
past, aud the general opinion in bank.
iug circles has crystallized into belief
that the expense and risk involved
10 making such collections warrant the
adoption Of small charge for the
service. Mr.. James.G. Canusu, vice.
president Of the Fourth National Bank
of New York. 10 discussion of the
question before the American Bankers
Association, pointed out that the
estimated life OF country check
averaged elk days and that the cost OF
collecting such checks would be oot far
from one-eighsh Of l per cent. The
conclusion arrived at OF this bank
official is that there is 90 good reason
Why the banks. instead OF receiving
such items from customers and at once
creditipg them as caeh. should not
impose a proper cost for collection.
Arguments of :bis kind have received
general approval, aod the actioa taken

Of the most serious problems that now
osnfroats Us. There is not q decent
road worthy of the name in the Pied
mont section especially where we have
red clay to deal with. The universal
chorus in all the newspapers from this
section is that the roads are simply i'm
passabie.
There are perhaps 500 convicts in
the peni.entiary who are able to work
on the highways. Let them be hired
out to the counties on the same terms
they are nov hired out on the farms.
aud let them be used 10 building per-
manens highways radiating from the
county seat in the four principal direc
tions, and let the work be done 90 each
alternately, and let the roads be graded
under the supervision Of 8 competent
engineer. In this way few miles OF
