Possibly it will be called old fogyism

Speller. We were started in our literary
career in it. 1t is probably true that we
thumbed out Il dozen copies of this very

understand either the virtue Of the book
or the real views of many of our esteem
ed and intelligent contemporaries in re-
joicing over its retention or replacement
in the schools Of the State Between,
or behind, the lines we rather think there
is 4 conviction that it is too heavy and
slow for the increased speed of these

were suffering with the grip while
on the platform. There we're 81

10 little children. Time: rs min

The Kaluaaha also acquitted
themselves very we'll. There were
Al members in this class includ-
ing 16 children. Time: 20 min.

The singing of the Lahainaluna
boys, 20 in number, was highly
artistic. The class from Halawa
was the largest, there being 81
adults and IL children, total 40.
Their singing was beautiful and
sweet, the male and female voices
blending together in perfect har-
mony, and the effect grand indeed.
The pieces they selected for the &C
casion are also rare ones, being
ordered direct from abroad. This
class occupied "a minutes, includ-
ing 10 minutes singing by the
children. The singing by these
small children, their ages ranging
from four to six, will be hard to
beat anywhere The singing of
the Waihee Sunday school of ten
members was also well rendered.
The Kaanapali had only two pu-
pills, Wailau five and Houokohau
four, but the paucity Of their mum.
bers was no drawback to the qua
lily of their singing.
Taken all in all, the singing by
all the Sunday schools that took
part in the exercises was grand
indeed, and Mr.. Richards declared
that he had never before heard
such beautiful singing in Honolu-
lu by native choirs excepting the
Kamehameha Girls School, and
he wouldn't have missed it for
double the distance. The sing
ing of the national anthem, Ha-
wsii Ponoi, at the close of the ex-
erclses was the grandest ever heard
of that most beautiful anthem.
The offerings during the day for
the church benefit amounted to
Sill, which was enough to clear
the church from debt. The next
Sunday School Union will be held

Hands or of Miles.
From the Boston Advertiser. ]

Any doubt that may have been cherished
anywhere in the latitude a1d longitude of
Washington, D. c., for instance, or else
where, concerning the opinion of the pub
lie regarding General Miles ought to be
pretty we'll dissipated by this time. His
visit to New England has been triumphal
progress. Every where the people have
risen up en- masse to do him honor. His
own unwillingness to exhibit himself in
any way that might seem ostentatious
has been the only drawback to the scale
on which the public has shown its admira-
ton and affection for the greatest Amer
lean military hero now living
There is no reason at all to believe that
moral courage and faithfulness to duty are
any less esteemed in the West or the
South or in the Middle States than in New
England. Everywhere in this broad land
there are veterans of the civil war who
deeply feel how great should be the graft
tude of soldiers to a chief who proves him
self their friend by becoming the enemy of
greedy swindlers, who, to make gain,
would imperil the lives of the nations de-
tenders. West and South and North, as
we'll as East, there are homes from which
have gone out volunteers and other enlist
ed men who took part in the war against
Spain. In every one of these homes it is
felt as a sore thing, this inhuman rascalty
which furnished poisoned beef to the Gu
ban and Porto Rican camps. In every
such home, in every section of our country
the name of General Miles is a name to
conjure with. For weeks past the fact
has been becoming every day more evident
that, but for his irrepressible courage in
telling the truth, the truth would have
been suppressed, the guilty would have
escaped, the i'll gotten gain, in true sense
the price of blood, would have been quiet
ly secured, and a seemingly safe way
would have been established for repeating
the horrible crime on yet larger scale if,
unhappily, at some future time our coun-
try should again go to war.
