KINDERGARTEN ASSOCIATION.
The FIRST Meeting of the Present
Season Held

The first session of the present kin
dergarten season was held at Emma
Hall, with it's associations of by-gone
times, it's later history of benevolent
attempts towards the betterment Of our
little world amid these halcyOn seas.
Now, more than ever, the Hail seems
shadowy green and pleasant under the
fine old poncianas and mangoes, 1espe-
cially when we reflect that on the con-
tinent the fall of the leaf has begun.
Mrs Allen was in the chair in alb
sence of Mrs. Hyde. Mrs. Richards in
place of Miss Hopper. Mrs. Coleman
represented Miss Lawrence, still linger-
ing in her old home.
Some changes are to take place
Miss Carrie Snow is to rest from teach
ing for while-Miss Kellogg, whom
we remember as coming from Califor-
MIA University, daughter of its Presi-
dent, now wills to return, and resume
her. place; Miss Hitchcock, whose
father has instructed us so valuably in
the geological history of our Islands,
proposes to remain longer with us, to
carry on excellent work already begun.
So the association is to venture on
the new year under happy auspices.

Mail Before Arrival.

Postmaster-Gener Cat was hard at
work in his office yesterday after his
return from a vacation trip TO the
Coast.
Il went away for pleasure solely and
/ am happy to say that Iobtained what
l sought. Yes, l know great many
people thought l was going 20 Wash
ington on official business, but they
had no reason TO think so.
While in San Francisco l used to
drop in at the Postoffice quite frequent
ly to see how they handled the mails.
L succeeded in effecting an innovation
in connection with our Island mails
which will greatly facilitate the distri-
button for the other Islands 1t is
simply increased segregation. When
before we had to go through all the
mail to find a letter for Hilo, now the
mail for the other districts is kept en-
tirely distinct from that for Honolulu.
The bags are labeled and we can tell
at glance almost whether the pouches
contain local or outside mail. It will
be quite an aid in rapid distribution.
Il think our system will compare
favOrably with that in the States. The
one thing that is needed now and will
come in time is a regular mail agent
on the steamers. There is no imme-
date need of that, however, and it will
come in time.
L have received no official advices
from Washington in any way connect
ed with the postoffice. | have no idea
any more than anybody else what will
be done. / can't see where there will
be many changes, however, as things
are working very smoothly now. The
people that do business with the post
Office are satisfied. It's those who
never get letter that do the kicking"

JUDGE JOHNSTON

Unalterably Opposed to the Republic
can Currency Bill-Its introduce
tion a High-Handed Proceeding.
Special to the Register.
WASHINGTON, D. c., December II.
Judge Johnston, the only Democratic
member Of the House from West Vir-
ginia, strongly condemns the House
currency bill now under consideration.
Having been a bimetallist for over
twenty years. he is unalterably opposed
to fastening the gold standard upon
the country. If the Republicans do
this, he declares, they will bring about
intolerable industrial conditions which
will result in a great popular revolu-
ton that will sweep the party out OF
power. He points out that the House
bill contemplates the introduction OF
an exclusively gold currency, for ven
silver dollars will by its terms be re-
deemable in gold, and so all obligations,
public and private, will be payable in
gold coin. The House bill further
places in the hands of the Secretary
Of the Treasury the power to retire
greenbacks, a Notwithstanding cur
rency, and to substitute interest-bear-
ing bonds as a basis for the perpetual
ton of the national banking system.
"The action of the House majority"
said the Judge, Gin bringing the cur
rency bill before the House and refus-
ing reference to a committee is without
precedent. For the first time in the
history of the country has a bill been
reported directly from a partisan eau
Gus to the House, and the very day and
hour fixed for a vote on it without Civ
ing the minority an opportunity to ex-
anime it in committee and report upon
it," Judge Johnston, of course, voted
against this high-handed proceeding.
Judge Johnston believes that a mis-
take was made in the Roberts case in
not permitting the Mormon to be
sworn in and then inquiring into his
case afterward. He voted for the
Richardson resolution. and then for
the Taylor resolution, in the belief that
as the House by voting down the Rich
ardson substitute, had refused to allow
Roberts to be sworn in, there could be
no objection to the investigation of the
case by a special committee.

SUITS FOR DAMAGES
To Be Filed BY Marietta Property
N Against the Government.
Damage Caused By the River.

Damage Causeu ny n riNeE.
Special to the Register.
MARIETTA, Ohio, December H.
Suits for damages a~ggregating an enor-
NOUS sum are now in course of prepar-
alton here and will be filed against the
government in the United States Court
of Claims by the owners of property
along several squares Of river front.
The suits are based upon the constant
cutting away of the river bank by the
swift current in the wide sweep which
the Ohio makes just at this point. The
destruction of the bank is u~nceasing
and it will be but a short time until
the property of some will be carried
away. The pump station of the city
water works is in one of the most ex-
posed positions and the municipality
will also become a claimant against the
government.
It is alleged that the cutting away of
the bank has been caused by the con-
struction of a dam al the head of Kerr's
Island, from a point near the middle of
the river to the West Virginia shore.
The purpose OF the dam was to throw
as much ate to the Ohio shore as
possible to deepen the channel for nav
igation on that side Of the island.
Those who profess to know say that
the dam W1s bulk on tha West Viz
