The Diving Record.

The greatest diving feat ever achiev-
ed was in moving the cargo of the ship
Cape Horn, wrecked off the coast of
South America, when a diver named
Hooper made seven descents to depth
of over 200 feet, remaining at one time
forty-two minutes under water. An
authority states that the greatest
depth to which a man has been known
to descend does not exceed 220 feet
which is equivalent to a pressure of
lightweight and half pounds to the
square iuch.

TIE BOYS CIURS TRADES
SCHOOL.

Mr.. Editor: An effort Is being made
to establish a Trades School in con-
nection with the Boys Clubs At
present these clubs are weekly gather
ings of native and half-white boys who
are called together and drilled and 9TH
erwise instructed by various gentlemen
who wish to do these boys good and
keep them of the streets. AS further
development Of this central idea 1t is
proposed to erect a suitable building
and teach the best-behaved and bright
est boys to work wood In a practical
manner, by which 1t il meant that they
shall be taught in the manner OF ap-
prentices in the old English style.
whose first efforts are always directed
to the production of some article of
utility, even from the first day they en-
ter the workshop. And as the boy sees
that his labor has definite aim he
will be encouraged to excel in skill, as
the skilful worker gets the finer kinds
of work to do, an emulation in produc-
ton Is set up that Is entirely beneficial
to the boy. Merely planning a piece of
wood without an objective point is. in
the opinion of practical men, unsatis-
factory. To saw out, to plane. to NOR
tise and tenon; in fact. to unite with
others to produce an article OF we'll
known use, Is, to the average boy. fas-
cinating In the extreme; and as indus
| try directed into proper channel is
all that the natives need to become
useful members of society, this move
ment to take hold of the boys and show
them how to make an article of every
day use which will sell. will give them
a chance to see how valuable the gold
en- hours are that they are lOafing
away on the streets learning WHAT
To waste time and opportunity. A
young loafer means an old bum every
time. .t... ..,
This is charitable idea which will
appeal to all. Further Information Oh
this scheme will be given by the cour-
tesy OF the press from time to time.

NEW METHODS OF WAR.

II the accounts received from South
Africa are correct, the Beers are find
ing out that since the hour in 1881.
when they slaughtered the British
troops at Majuba hill, the art of war
has been largely revolutionized. At
Majuba hill they marched up its slope
on all sides and shot down the British
as II they were rabbits. Now, they find

ed in the Use of rapid firing uns, which
have much longer ranges than the rifles
and a small force of trained men can
resist the advance OF a much larger
force. The Beers may surround the
small British garrisons and cut of their
supply, but quick and direct assault,
without protection, Is not possible. II
the Beers are equally well equipped
with rapid firing guns, the British will
be under the same disadvantage.

THE TRADE SCHOOL.

The ideas expressed in communica-
ton, which appears in another column,
regarding a trade school for Hawaiian
boys. are excellent.
Mr.. Auchmuty, one OF the pioneers
in this line of work, established a
school of this kind in New York City
some years ago. The boys were placed
under competent instructors, and the
evils of the prevailing apprenticeship
were avoided. One of the first results
of this training school was, that during
a strike among the bricklayers, sew
eral boys who had been instructed in
bricklaying for the period of six
months only, were engaged, and their
work was so satisfactory, they were
paid the wages of men. For nearly
twenty years the pupils Of this school
have obtained good situations.
Not the least OF this kind of train
ing is character building. The skilled
hand. with a thinking head behind it,
makes character. The instruction
which the boys receive is rudimentary,
but not stationary. Every blow Of the
hammer, with an object in view, makes
the next blow more effective. The Ha-
waiian boys are capable of becoming
good mechanics.

CALLlNGS FOR GIRLS.

II the pessimists who predict the rise
and final fall of the great Republic,
wish to see what hostages the nation
Is giving to secure the upward pro-
gress of American civilization, let them
watch the colleges for girls. The real
danger to liberty. the real drawback
to real progress. In the past, laid In
a one sided civilization,--the education
OF the men. and the ignorance of the

The recent Inauguration of Miss

THE NEW MINISTER.

The appointment OF Mr.. Alexander
Young to the Office Of Minister OF the
Interior will be generally approved Of,
because he is an able man, an old resi-
dent, and thorough man Of affairs.
He is familiar with our commercial af-
fairs, the questions concerning our
mixed races, with our land system, and
with our political affairs. His execu-
tive ability is shown In the successful
conduct of his own business.
While President Dole has been urged
to appoint other well qualified men to
the Office. the responsibility, after all,
for the conduct of the public business,
rests on him, and he Is justified in
choosing his own advisers and assist
ants. In the present transition period

PRIZE FIGHTING

The prize-fght which occurred on
Friday night Is a vivid reminder that
we are at last within "a civilized coun-
try" as the traveller said when he saw
a galiows standing on the edge of the
town. Public sentiment generally sup
presses, through the law, the exhibition
of powerful men pounding each other
before large and appreciative aud
fence, because 1t Is said to be manly"
The object of these fighters Is not to
secure any good" whatever, but to
crafty, for the most part, the feelings
Of men whose souls are filled with
pleasure and even ecstasy when one
man downs another, or one dog downs
another. While prize-ighting without
gloves is now generally forbidden, the
law makers have made some concession
to those whose lives would be barren
waste, II their souls cannot be elevated,
and their hearts cleansed. and their re-
fined senses gratified by the sight of
two animals engaged in combat. Com
pelling the fighters to use gloves Is, of
course, depressing to one who has in
herited and cultivated that love OF the
scrimmage, which the Irishman show
ed. when. in his despair at the peaceful
condition Of the fair. he shouted: "Win
some jintleman please step on me coat
tails?"
The students in anthropology insist
that this love Of combat In men Is a
trait or habit, which shows that man
never had divine origin in Eden as It
is described In Genesis. but that he is
only an evolution from the beast, and
cannot get rid of these propensities
without better environments and edu-
cation. The prize-fght and the cock
fight and the bull-fght are strong evil
dences Of the truth Of this proposition
Gradually the roots OF these traits
are pulled mp by education and whole
some sentiments. Until they are en-
tirely pulled up, some concession must
be made to those who find life To be an
arid desert unless their weary spirits
are occasionally revived by the blessed
sight Of two men solemnly punching
each others heads, Those who dislike
such exhibitions must not forget that

crime In abetting the Filipinos TO Kill
our men. and cause our treasure TO BE-
wasted; that they s-c in a minority
and minorities. however large, must
sit down in silence, whatever their con-
victions are.
Here at once crops out the tyranny
OF the majority which De ToQueville
described. And yet, these Anti-lmper-
ialists are guaranteed the absolute
right OF free speech, under the Con-
stitution. They are not guilty Of trea-
son until they commit an overt act. II
the ruling majority denounce them, are
they not enforcing a moral tyranny
which is, after all. worse than physi.
cal tyranny?
When Cleveland was elected TO the
Presidency. the Republicans freely de-
clared that the domination OF the Dem
ocratic party would work the ruin OF
the country. Perhaps It did do great
mischief. Whether 1t did or did not,
the Republicans refused to sit in ST.
lence under the rule of the Democratic
majority. They opposed that rule per-
sistently and bitterly. and finally sue
ceeded in overthrowing 1t.
These efforts OF Mr.. Atkinson and
his friends, are precisely on the same
lines. They are as sincerely honest al
the Expansionists. Senator Hoar has
certainly the reputation OF being an
intelligent and upright man. At leas
Massachusetts, thinks so.
But the Anti-Imperalist encourages
the Filipinos to revolt, to kill our sol.
diers and waste our treasure. He Is
taxed to pay for war that he believes
Is unjust He says SO. because, under
a Republican constitution. he has the
right to say. But his saying so may
be good as powder and ball and rife
to those in revolt. The attitude OF the
Democratic party, during the Civil
War, led the South to believe that the
North would finally consent to sep.
aration. But the government could
not shoot or hang or imprison all the
Democrats.
So these are perplexing questions.
Six millions of Democratic voters are,
1t is assumed, opposed to the war. Seven
millions of Republican voters are, 1t
Is assumed. In favor of it. The Anti
Imperialists say it's "un- American" to
expand. The Republicans say it's ''un'
American" not to expand. So the all

GERMAN CHURCH
Officers We're Elected
Yesterday.
New Church VIII be Erected Near
Corner OF esrstaria and

(FrOm Mondays Daily.)

(F'rOm Mondays Daily.)
Decisive steps were taken yesterday
to organize German Lutheran church.
The gift Of $50, 900 by Mr.. Paul Isenberg
was upon the condition that a church
should be organized within one year.
The services Of the Lutheran church
were conducted yesterday in the rooms
OF the Y. NJ. c. A. by Rev. Hans Isen-
berg. The audience was requested to
remain after the services and there was
general conference on the subject.
Mr.. Hackfeld was selected as president
OF the meeting and Mr.. c. du Roi as
secretary. There were firty-five per-
sons present who took part In the pro-
ceedings. Thanks for the gift were pre-
scented in a resolution offered by Mr..
Schaefer, stating that the proposition
to organize German Lutheran church
was accepted. An election of trustees
then took place. The following persons
were elected J. F. Hackfeld, presi-
dent; F. A. Schaefer, LIST vice-presi-
dent; H. w. Schmidt, End vice-presi-
dent; c. du Roi, secretary; H. A. Isen-
berg, treasurer; and p. Lemke, auditor.
The trustees were then authorized to-
obtain charter for the society and to
secure lot upon which the church
should be built, and also consider the
plans for the edifice A lot has been
secured already near the corner Of
Beretania and Punchbowl streets, and
1t will probably not be long before the
construction Of the edifice will be com
menced.

Is 1T A JUST WAR?

Mr.. Chamberlain, Colonial Secretary,
said in the British House of Commons,
that the government would protect Brit
ish subjects, wherever they reside, and
rransvaal Government were for that
purpose. The Beers have voluntarily
admitted, even encouraged the British
and other foreigners to bring their
capital to the Transvaal. reside there
and educate their children there. They
have invited foreigners to settle as the
Kings and Chiefs of Hawaii invited
foreigners to settle in these Islands.
But, in these later days, it must be
accepted as a political maxim, that an
intelligent person. possessing also good
character, shall have the right to parti-
,ipate in the government of the cOun-
try In which he resides. There are of
course some qualifications upon this
proposition, and the weak point in it.
theoretically. is that there Is practi-
cally no impartial arbitrator to be
found, who can adjust the rights of the
parties.
The Beers, for their own gain and
profit. have admitted Outlanders TO
their territory, until these foreigners
outnumber the Beers, and are super
ior to them in brains. education, and
wealth. When these resident for
eigners ask to be allowed some poll
teal rights which will protect them
against Boer extortion it is refused.
The Outlanders. following the example
Of the Americans who engaged In the
Revolutionary war, protested against
taxation without representation. For
tunately, there Is powerful friend
and protection behind them, who is sell
fishly interested in good government
In all parts Of the world, because good
government in any part of the world
means increased trade, increased
wealth, increased demand for British
goods. The American Revolutionists

nation.
And there cannot be good govern
