MORE MONEY NEXT PERIOD
WANTED BY DEPARTMENT OF
EDUCATION.
Must Have Increase of Nearly Fifty
Per Cent to Meet Demands-Overflow
in the Schools

The next Legislature will be asked for
an immense increase in the appropria-
tion for the public schools of the ISL
ands. 1t is estimated that fifty per
cent more money will be required for
the next biennial period.
The financial situation in this bureau
at present is far from satisfactory. In
some of the more important appropIia-
tions, notably those for repair of school
houses, pay rolls and ncidentals, there
are already shortages. Some time ago
IT was necessary to suspend the rule OF
increasing salaries for long service so
as to make the appropriation hold out
to the end of the period. Teachers
thus affected have been done an in
justice, which it was impossible to pre-
vent.
No one is to blame for the shortage
of the appropriation. When the legis-
lature was in session nearly two years
ago as much money as was considered
necessary was appropriated. No one
could foresee the extraordinary in
crease in the schools that has since
taken place. In Honolulu the increase
has been so great that it is even hard
to understand. All of the schools are
crowded to their utmost capacity, and
it is we'll known fact that many chill
dren are going miles to get into school
at all, those nearer them being filled.
In the country districts practically
the same condition prevails, although
to a less extent In many places en-
larged accommodations are absolutely
necessary. There must positively be
from the appropriation a large amount
for new school houses and enlargements
and repairs of the old ones.
Minister Mott-Smith is already figur-
ing upon the amount to be asked for
and the various heads under which the
money will be needed.

AMERICAN MILLIONAIREs.

One by one the historic places Of
England are falling into the hands of
rich Americans. Lord Cholmondeley
may, Chumley), who owns Sir Robert
Walpole's favorite place, Houghton
Hall, in Norfolk, has discovered that
while a big house does not make a
man rich, it may make him poor. He
has tried to sell it, after receiving per-
mission from the court of chancery,
but a palace nowadays is a white ele-
plant which few people accept volun-
tarily. At last he has succeeded, how
ever, in leasing it for a long term of
years to the Indispensable American
millionaire, which is the next best
thing.

4 few days ago two well TODD China

for cigars. They were offered cigars
made in Fddy's cigar factory in Car
son. They looked at the box earthly
and declined the cigars. Another
brand from the same factory was Of
fered but after inspecting the box they
called for another and selected cigars
from a San Francisco factory upon
which there was a printed guarantee
that they were made by white labor.
These guarantees mount to nothing
with the Chinese when he
sees a private mark on the box which
indicates to him that the cigars were
rolled by men of his own race. Most
Of the so called white labor brands sold
in this State are made by Chinese and
the makers are in the habit Of finishing
the tips of the cigars by wetting them
with silava and rolling them in his
mouth. \ white union cigar maker
who did this would be discharged on
the spot. Eddy is manufacturing
cigars IN this city made by nothing but
Union white labor and they are pretty
safe cigars to smoke. Nevada lovers
