Honolulu, II. ].
To the Alumni OF Oahu College
with the progress of events In Ha-
wall II Is OF increasing Importance
that educational opportunities keep
pace. Oahu College is the Oldest char
tered institution of learning here. Its
history in the past shows that 1t Is the
leader. That lead ought to be main
tanned. Large demands require ex-
mansion. Our position is unique. Sit
uated in the middle Of the North Pa
cific ocean. thousands of miles from
even the opportunity of certain lines
of work, the advantages of the posi-
ton ought not to be lost. The time
must come very soon, II, indeed, IL Is
not here today, when the work OF the
college should be extended to embrace
lines not now taught. and to give a
broader education to many who cannot
20 to America or Europe for that pur-
pose. II We do not meet the require
ments, some other college will.
Probably the former pupils of Oahu
College retain their interest in its for
tunes, and only wait the opportunity
to nut that interest to practical USE
This does not necessarily require the
giving of money or property, but any
thing which will keep the college in
mind and bring its interests to the
front will have beneficial result. No
one can do Punahou better service
than its old pupils, and anything
which can unite and bring them to-
gether is likely to have that effect.
II is proposed to invite the Alumni
TO the college grounds on or about Sat
urday, June 18th, to enjoy some atm
Ietic sports, talk over the situation,
have a general good time, and, If prac-
ticable. form the oahu College Alum

the cultivation Of the best relations
between the college and the communi-

So an unusually large export of
American goods to compete with those
of England would also tend to depress
English prices. But the revival being
universal among industrial nations,
prices have advanced in ALL although
it must be confessed that agricultural
prices have shared in the advance only
to very limited extent, and the farm
er's prosperity is a somewhat doubtful
quantity. There are special reasons
for this, connected with the money
question, but we cannot go into them
now. We merely refer to it for the pur-
pose of suggesting that the alleged
prosperity is by no means universal.
Such as it is, however, it extends
generally to other countries. which
completely disposes of the claim that it
is due to the wise craftsmanship of
VIM. Mckinley and the policy of the
party of which he is the nominal head.

OUR INTERESTS IN SOUTH AFRICA

I ain has had varied and extensive ex-
! perience in this line. AS the war
promises to be carried on upon gil
gantic scale it is also our duty as a
power to send officers to the seat OF
operations to study the campaigns in
| detail. This President Mckinley has
done. The military attaches of our
government will study the struggle
from within the British lines, it be-
ing customary for governments to at
tach them to the side that is believed
to be safest and which employs the
most modern fighting implements.
They will travel with the British gen.
erals, be practically their guests, and
be rated as non-combatant members
of their staffs, any attempt upon their
lives or safety being considered as I'M
friendly acts. All this, however, is
quite consistent with the strictest neu-
trality.
Thus American interests in Africa
will throughout the entire war be
cared for by something like so repre-
sentatives scattered throughout the
continent and varying in rank from
minister to consular agent And
there will be plenty for them to do
added additional zeal to our already
great interest in African problems. 1t
may be possible for us to learn some
very valuable lessons to aid us in our
task of successfully colonizing in the
Philippines. All that has kept Great
Britain from being overwhelmed by
the vast black populations of Africa
has been her skill in keeping them
employed in the art of agriculture,
giving them quite liberal measure of
home rule, introducing the tools and
furnishings of civilized life, building
roads and encouraging commerce gen
orally. Behind all this, of course. is
the ultimate project Of building a
railway from Cape Town to Cairo and
gradually bringing the dark continent
as far as it may be within the infu-
ence Of British power. The great fear
to-day is that the excitement of the
Boer war may stir the blacks to a
wholesale mutiny that might compel
Boer and Briton to unite for common
protection.
Yes, Uncle Sans interests in South
Africa are, taken for all in all, i'm
mense-none the less because the adj
ministraton says that we must and
shall preserve strict neutrality in the
present contest.

@ ARL sCHURz recent letter upon
the dangers of Imperialism and
the duty of the American citizen
is significant in more ways than one.

At Ladysmith and London.

~ ENERAL WHITES frank and
" manly avowal of his RESPONSE
bility for the capture by the
Beers of two of the finest of his regi-
ments, while it reflects credit upon him
as a man of honor, does not excuse his
frightful blunder as a soldier. AS
strategist White is no match for the
crafty Joubert. The Boer commander
led White into the very trap which the
experience Of Majuba Hill should have
taught him to foresee. AS this morn
ing's London dispatches suggest White
may be an excellent regimental officer
without having a particle of talent as
the commander of an army. White
rot only reckoned without his host last
Monday, he betrayed actual stupidity.
The thing for him to have done was
to hold his 1900 men in his strongly
intrenched position at Ladysmith and
wait for Butler and reinforcements.
Instead of doing that he undertook to
spar with Joubert-who SPARED for an
opening and speedily found it.
England is full of gloom and sorrow
and rage. The horrors of war have
suddenly been brought to many a hap
Ply family. High and low are equally
affected-the disaster has made all
classes kin. Americans who are old
enough to remember the period of the
civil war will not have to exert their
imaginations to realize the widespread,
almost universal, grief, misery and
anxiety prevailing to-day in England
and Ireland. There was this comfort
during the civil war, that both North
,erners and Southerners We're convinced
they were fighting for the right. In the
British Isles large element of the pop
ulation feels that in this war England
is fighting for the wrong.
All eyes are turned to General Butler
who arrived at Cape Town on Mon
day, to be followed presently by large
reinforcements. Butler will be abso-
lutely master of the British forces. No
London boards of strategy will attempt
to control him or even offer him adj
vice. He is said to be a general of d
high order of ability. One dispatch
compares him to Grant in coolness in
pertinacity and in reckless disregard
for human life if by sacrificing it the
purpose in mind can be accomplished.
Eventually he will have an army of
$4,000 men. The total Boer strength
has been variously estimated, DR.
Leyds, the Transvaal diplomatic repre-
sentative in Europe placing it as high
as 100000. That is regarded as gross
exaggeration, but at all events there
are enough Beers to insure plenty of
hot fighting for weeks and months.
The artillery work of the Beers shows
marked improvement. and as they are
said to possess guns superior to those
of the British. the hostile forces may
meet on pretty nearly even terms The
war promises to be a long and costly
one on both sides.

watermelon season is over, of course,
and, presumably, the crops are harvest
ed: But the hogs can't all be killed,
nor the wood all hauled, nor the cot
ton all sold, nor the negroes all lynched.
To the aforementioned subject Cover
nor Gambler devotes several para
graphs in his annual message to the
| legislature. He takes the position that
the unusual amount of crime by law
less negroes and the consequent unpre-
cedented amount Of mob violence can
| be laid at the door of intermeddling
and interfering fanatics and fools who
| do not know anything about the sit
uation in the South. He believes that
almost all, If not all, the sources of
laWlessness among the negroes can be
traced to Northern speeches and news
paper articles and incendiary letters
sent to negroes in the South, aggravat-
ing situation which they profess to
deplore.
That's right--lay it all to the North!
The negroes would be quiet. happy,
contented, innocent people if the North
would only attend to it's own business
and let the negro question alone What

about the negro situation in the South
but we do know that such talk as Gov
ernor Gambler is giving out is rot. That
is apparent on the face of it,
The race question is one that the

tinue to insist upon is that the South

greater service II he would so to Ohio
and fight the "silver swindle," as that
paper calls it, asserting that free coin
age represents a greater danger than
annexation. To this Mr.. Schurz re-
plies: II am of a different pattern.
No one can say of me that I under
value the danger that may arise from
free coinage. But I hold that imper-
ialsm is decidedly more dangerous,
for it means the ruin of our free in
situations" Then he declared that
republican triumph in Ohio would en-
courage the administration to con-
tinue in it's present policy, and that
such encouragement should be with
held at any cost"
Our judgment is that Mr. Schurz
knowledge Of the money question is far
from being fundamental and exhaust
i've. We do not agree with his views
upon that subject. On the other hand,
there is no good reason to doubt that
he understands imperialism in all it's
length and breadth. for he was born
in an empire and lived there long
enough to become familiar with it's
worst features.
Moreover, imperialism. with its in
separable accompaniment of a large
standing army. is a simple question,
free from the subtle refinements that
pervade monetary science. Any man
of the most common intelligence ought
to understand that the United States
cannot enter upon a career Of con-
quest without a large standing army.
He should also understand that such
publican freedom, but to the republic
itself. Without a great standing ar
my we know that the republic is safe
with such an army there is certainly
danger, The Roman republic could
never have been subverted without an
army. Napoleon the first could never
have made himself an emperor with
out his conquering legions to back
him. Napoleon the third could never
have destroyed the second French re-
public without an army to do his bid
ding, and the army is the great and

to-day.
Grant that there is a difference be-
tween the American people and the
French and the fact remains
that it is wise policy for us
to avoid even the first step toward
imperialism. If we don't take the first
step we will be sure not to take the
second. By adhering to the wise pre-
cepts and example of the fathers we
are sure of being safe; if we depart
from them no man can foresee the
end, but we know that there is dan
ger.
Hence the position taken by Mr..
Schurz Instead of this proving that
the democratic party has abandoned
silver it proves directly the reverse,
for recognizing the fact that free COIN
age is still a leading principle of the
party Mr.. Schurz declares that he can
accept it rather than imperialism.

Mckinley Prosperity i'll England

IN their intense anxiety to abandon
the Hanna bandwagon, there are
those who are willing to give Mr.. Nc
Kinley the entire credit for the inn
proved business conditions of the last
two years, although it is perfectly OBJ
vious that the changes have been
neither Mr.. Mckinley nor the repub-
lican party could possibly have any
control.
The Standard has repeatedly pointed
out the absurdity and disingenuousness
of this claim. The very fact of its be-
ing made by some who pretend-or
have pretended-to make the silver
cause paramount" proves conclusive
ly that it does not rest upon a basis of
good faith. Among other things, we
have shown that the improvement is
almost worldwide, and therefore must
have resulted from causes operating
in other countries as well as here.
But as the Standard is Bourbon"
sheet, what it says does not count with
some people, although from the rate at
which our subscription list is swelling
we are justified in believing that the
number is not great. There are some,
though, and among these there may
be few who are willing to be enlight-
ened Therefore pleasure is taken N
quoting from publication that is dis
tinctly non-partisan, although favoring
the republican view on many points,
and which upon questions of fact is a
recognized authority throughout the
trading and business world
In its issue of the 2Sth ultimo Brad
streets says: "As has been frequently
pointed out in Bradstreet's, the current
rise in values Of staple products is not
by any means confined to this country.
Abroad among all the industrial ma
tions the same tendencies have been
noted, and there, as well as here, signs
of halt in the upward movement are
yet to be dscerned." Then it proceeds
TO say that current prices are at the
highest point in Great Britain that
they have reached for a number of
years. as shown by the index numbers
Of the London Economist and Professor
Sauerbeck, the two highest. authorities
in that country
After discussing the effect, direct or
| Incidental that combinations may
! have had in raising prices, Bradstreet's
| states the situation as follows: THE
| fact appears to be that after a period
| Of repression in nearly all lines of trade
and in all countres-hand TO mouth
| buying, in fact-the world in 1898 and
| 1899 woke up to the fact that its pro-
ductive ability had been overtaken and
| passed by its cOnsumptive power"
This is directly in line with what the
| STANDARD has repeatedly stated 1t
| merely happened that Mr.. Mckinley
| played in his usual luck and came in
| just before the turn of the tide. 1t
| stands to reason that a high tariff, the
tendency of which is to shut English
| goods out of the American market,
cannot possibly have raised the prices
of those goods in London. The natural
effect was to depress them by restrict
| ing their sale.
