character and habits of mature negroes

AS it was said in Boston a few years
ago, the hope of the white race lies in
the funerals of the mature people who
cannot change their habits. and are

REGATTA DAY

The athletic exercises Of Saturday,
Justify the establishment by law Of
one day in the year, for the object of
sport and education. It is the step
ping stone TO something broader, and
therefore better. II is wholesome and
forces the thoughts out of ruts and
channels. 1t is educational because it
develops and exhibits skill in the brain
and hand. 1t develops latent faculties
and latent desires TOR what is pure and

young men to contemplate things as

These athletics tend to take men away
from that form Of the business habit,
which is about as bad as the opium
habit, the dull and deadening effects of
routine, which makes a mockery of
wealth, and leaves the rich man the
unhappy possessor of the white ele-
plant of money which he cannot use
with intelligence or advantage.

vival of H NJ. S. Pinafore," at the

think this is only Mr.. Gilbert's fun.
They Will probably be very surprised
to find Admiral Dewey confessing that
he was sick the night before the fight.
This, after all, only follows the lead
ing case of Nelson, though it is never
wise TO initiate the idiosyncrasies of
great men. The American Admiral
puts down his sickness 10 two causes:
l. Nervousness.
.. Bad coffee.
The first is we'll enough, but the
second is distinct attempt TO hedge

THE SCHOOLS.

The Princess Kaiulani school in Pa
lama shows the prosperity of the city.
The children, about four hundred and
fifty in number, are mainly from the
poorer classes, but they are clean and
neat, and indicate excellent manage
ment on the part of the teachers.
Owing to the insufficient appropria-
tion for school furniture, there are no
and it's floor is used for seating pur-
poses. AS the majority, if not all, of
the scholars, are accustomed to this
primitive way of sitting, there is no
special hardship in it.
The exercises in this, as well as in
other schools, are far in advance of
those seen in tie majority of schools
on the Mainland. AS the industrial
ideas prevail, the prospects are that
these many children of mixed races
will be better educated, in the best
sense of the word, than the correspond
ing class in many of the rural districts
of the United States.
In no place within the tropical belt
has the Anglo-Saxon and European
done as much for the education of the
native races, as they have done in Ha-
wall. This is due entirely to the fixed
purpose Of the early missionaries.
Merchants and traders establish no
schools in foreign parts.
There is a wide field for sociological
study in these schools. The Board of
Education should institute the taking
of a census in each school, by which
chronological and other important
facts may be obtained and preserved
for future use. Those who come after
lis should have before them the data
which can at present be obtained re-
garding the characteristics and differ
erces, the aptitudes and capacity of
every grade of child, whether purely
native or mixed, or Asiatic or POrtu-
gllese. BY securing data now, the value
and accuracy of scientific work will be
ready for the students and thinkers
hereafter. Through the schools, the
best knowledge of the social condition
of the people may be obtained. The
Board Of Education should make most
valuable contributions to the subject
which covers the evolution of mixed
races on these Islands

A PAINFUL CONTROVERSY.

The burning question, regarding the
physical structure and conditions OF
the insides OF Mother Earth, which DR..
Serene Bishop and ''Cacoethes Serb
endi' are discussing is already as hot
as lava itself. ''Cacoethes Scribendp'
in his published correspondence says
the naked question is, rs the lava of
the earth's interior saturated with
condensed gases under pressure in
liquid or solid form?" DR.. Bishop, as
usual, objects to the nudity" of the
question, but in the interests of science
will, for the occasion, waive any objec
tions on that score. The simple range
IF the discussion, and the ease with
which a child may understand it is
apparent, when one of the disputants,
speaking of only preliminary ques-
ton states positively that under GER
tain circumstances the resultant
liquid Tin the Earth's bowels) is rep
resented by CO2XH2O-H2CO3,' and of
course defantly asks his opponent
how do you answer that?" There is
a suggestion of fearful calamities, and
prOmiscuous ruin in such a demoniac
combination and one feels like fleeing
TO the mountains for physical, or to DR..
Maxwell for scientific, protection, if
there is any truth in it. The patient
off his hat and asking these magicians
OF the neither world, DO you really
think Mother Earth has any more
dreadful things up her sleeve?'
Now the whole truth of this matter
like other truths Lies at the bottom
OF the well,'' as the proverb tells us. If
the disputants will join their forces and
will sink an arteSian we'll from the
centre of the Punchbowl crater, down
ward for 10000 feet to the locality of
the earths hot inwards about which
they are having a luminous debate, they
will find an oversupply of truth at the
bottom of that well. Besides, they
may, through a twelve-inch pipe, and
the pressure below it obtain an UNI
failing stream of lava, which, by day
and night will rise in fiery and
grand column to the heighth Of five
hundred feet above PunchbOwl. The
supplying of the city with fuel from
this source for all time to come, and
it's commercial value as volcanic fly
paper which will attract and catch all
OF the tourists Of the world, will count
for nothing as against disposing of a
controversy which seriously interferes
with the sugar industry which is rath-
er sensitive about the possibilities of
badly regulated volcanic eruptions.
The old Schoolmen of the Dark ages,
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1899-09-18

discussed with learning and bitterness
the important question: Does
cherub have seven toes on each
foot" but it was dispute that was in
significant in comparison with the one
in which our savants have drawn their
rapiers on each other. The members
of the Social Science Society sit I'M
moved watching the gladiators, and do
not Indicate, like the Roman emper-
ors, whether they will turn their
thumbs up or down.

SPURNED BY THE NERGOES.

The representative Negro conference
in Chicago refused to give Booker
Washington a hearing. He is declared
by many of the most influential negroes
to be a traitor TO the cause of the
race progress. This hostile attitude is
of the negro preachers, and demago-
CUES. The best friends of the race
have, since the war, been suspected by
a majority of the people of the race
of selfishness.
Booker Washington tells the negroes
to get an industrial training, and make
themselves the equal of the white man
in education, and in THRIFT. He virtual
into political affairs, until they are
qualified to do so. This advice dis
pleases the negro demagogues who are
making a living out OIL the weak breth-
ance, that they have reached at a
bound, since Emancipation, the plane
which the white man has reached only
through centuries of peril and suffer
ing.
The dissatisfied preachers and poll
ticians now favor the emigration of
the negro to Africa. The failure of the
IIberian republic is not even known to
these preachers. The negro has abund-
ance of elbow room in the Southern
States, but he does not know how to
use his advantages. He has soil and
climate and opportunity, but little
knowledge. In the evolution of the
negro in America, the present stage
of it discloses the white man as the
m aster who is maintaining civilization
although there are many painful eXcep-
fions to this maintenance. He holds

A Glass p Engine on the Panhandle
Makes Phenomena Mileage
Numerous Official Changes.

The train records show that there were
received and forwarded at Indianapolis in
the week ending Jan. rs a total of 27,071
cars, 20,777 being loaded. which is a highly
satisfactory exhibit for @ week in mid
winter, being an increase of 131 loaded cars
over the week ending Jan. q, and 612 more
loaded ears than were handled at this point
in the corresponding week of 1898, 4749 more
than in 1897. 107S more tuan in 1895, 3, 735
more than in 1855, and 1873 more than in
the corresponding week Of 1894. 1t is evil
dent that thus far the restoration of rates
to tariff, at which all roads claim to now
be carrying freight, has not resulted in a
falling off in business. the shipments of
grain and grain products. of produce, live
stock and dressed meats being heavier than
at the corresponding period of 1898 The
last few days shipments East of provisions
have not been so heavy, which is due to
the proposed reduction in rates on pro-
visions to become effective Feb. 1. The ship
ments East of hardwood lumber, veneer
ing and hides are again quite heavy. West
bound traffic is heavy beyond precedent in
January, both in high and low class
freights. Shipments of dry goods, fancy
notions. etc, are unusually large, and in
coal, coke and railway supplies the ton
mage is fully 100 per cent. heavier than in
the corresponding period in many years, and
the business is carried at better rates than
in any winter in five years past. Traffic with
the north-and-south lines is not proper
tionately heavy with that of the east-and-
west roads; still it compares favorably with
that of several years past. The north-and-
south lines depend largely on local business
at this season of the year. At the city
freight depots fully % per cent. more freight
is being handled than usual i'm midwinter.
Especially are the iron industries and fur
niture manufacturers doing moro than usual
at this season of the year. The business at
the stock yards continues to be in excess
of that of last year, and on days when the
weather is suitable the commission houses
are heavy shippers. Below is given the car

NEW YORK, Jan. 2S.-The weeks record in

movement in wooden and woTsted goods has been
quickened by the opening of several new and inn
portant lines. Manufacturing clothiers. however
still slow buyers; although the situation Is a
good one in retail quarters they have so far de-
ferred heavy buying. Much the same is true OF
dress goods though some lines of staples have
sold fairly well. In staple cotton goods the
weeks result has been satisfactory. Brown goods
for American consumption have been in steady
demand. Export goods have shown good results.

ing the week to reduce the stock at FAN River
