LANGUAGE OF LEGISLATION.
It Must be English in the Hawaiian
Islands.
JOS. VI. DAT,
Postmaster.

Followers of the Independent Home
Rule Party have been circulating a re-
port that Governor Dole is authority
for the statement that both the Ha-
waiian and English languages could be
spoken in the proceedings of the next
Legislature.
Those who spread the report said that
the information came in an interview
participated in by the Governor and
one of their party. In fact the state
ment began to be used as piece of
campaign ammunition.
Yesterday afternoon an Advertiser
reporter put the following query to the
Governor:
Have you ever made statement to
any one that both the English and Ha-
waiian languages We're to be used in
the coming Legislature? ?"
NO; l certainly did not. 1 did have
some one asked me whether it We're
possible to have both languages used. /
replied then as I do now that 1t was
not possible. Here is Section A of the
Act Providing Government for the
Territory of Hawaii" said the Gov
ernor picking up the pamphlet 1T
reads: All legislative proceedings
shall be conducted in the English Lam
guage.' That TO my mind is conclusive. |
and answers your question clearly.
There is no opportunity for two |
thirds majority to change the section. |

Have you an ideal in your life? II
you have not you must be of all men
most miserable. Life, without ideals,
is to q thoughtful man uncomfortable.
Yet Mrs. Burton Harrison says ''In-
constancy to ideals is part of the
spirit of the age" If Mrs. Harrison is
correct in her diagnosis of our modern
society, much of the spirit of unrest
and riotous thought is explained. Ideal
ity puts moral courage into the human
soul. The loss of ideals is the loss of
the SOUL To be sure it is easy to lose
ones ideal and it is a fine art to pre-
serve it, but it ought to be cherished as
the dearest possession of mortal ex-
istence. The pessimist has lost his
ideal and. the logical end of his think
ing is dispair The optimist may lose
enc ideal but he selects better one in
its place and the logical end OF his
thinking is happiness.

A story is going the rounds that when
William NJ. Evarts was asked the other
day to what he ascribed his long life
and excellent health, he replied:
81 don't know. unless it is because l
don't take any exercise"
Mr.. Evarts isn't the only public man
who has theory that physical exer-
else, added to mental effort, is waste
Of tissue which tends toward debility
and shortening Of life Joseph Cham
berlain is a conspicuous example. He
spares himself all physical effort so far
as he can. He will not walk up sin
gle flight of stairs If he can help it,
Senator Hanna is, perhaps, the most
notable exponent of this practice in
Washington. Vigorous as he is in
speech and in mental effort, the Senator
is seldom seen save in an attitude
which suggests physical repose. The
president walks daily. He feels badly
without his constitutional. Nobody
can remember to have seen Senator
Hanna accompanying the president on
a walk in the three years at Washirg-
ton-St Louis Globe Democrat

The proverbial foible of many per.

The proverbial foible of many per-
sons for concealing or misrepresenting
their ages is proved by the census to be
a reality. Careful scrutiny Of the re-
turns of population according to ages
in successive census years shows that
there issa widespread tendency among
boys and girls to report themselves old
er than they really are, as IL to antici-
pate manhood and wolnanhood. Among
those who are approaching middle age,
the tendency is in the opposite direc-
ton, namely to report themselves
younger than they are. Finally, in the
case of the very old, there is an inclina-
ton to add to their years. They seem
to take pride in every year they have
livec since they could boast that they
were octogenarians.' 1t is little
strange that this weakness of human
nature should be so widespread, and
that both men and women should be so
sensitive upon tie subject Of their a. ages,
seeing that there Is no condition or cir
cumstance of life for which the individ-
ual is less responsible than his age.

CALIFORNIA AT PARIS
Her Products Finely Displayed and Great.
ly Admired.


J. A. Filcher, secretary of the state
board of trade, who is in charge of the
Southern Pacific display at the Paris
exposition, writes that the display
from Southern California is fully in
stalled. He makes particular mention
that the California exhibit is the most
complete of any on the grounds from
the fact that it is all together. 1t is
collective, while almost all other ex-
hibits are scattered around. The head
quarters of the state commission are
reputed to be the finest in Paris. Mr.
Filcher thinks the display from Cal
ifornia can not but stimulate the de-
mand for California products, and will
be the means of inducing many to visit
the state and many more to immigrate
hitner. Photographs of the exhibit
will soon be sent to this country.

The railway train service of the Unit
ed States has always been esteemed
the most enterprising as we'll as the
most luxurious in the world. With the
great American motto of "hurry up
and don't waste time' as their incen-
tive, the railroad companies have stop
ped at nothing in their efforts to in
crease the speed Of their trains, while
at the same time making it possible for
the passengers to enjoy every comfort
and convenience which they might
have at home. To this end they have
employed cooks, BARRIERS, stenograph-
ers, telegraph operators, librarians, la
dies maids, and representatives of 9TH
er trades and professions to travel on
their trains and lend their ready SER
vices to the passengers. Now, as a
climax, it Is suggested that 1t may be
we'll to employ ministers to hold SER
vices on the through trains which run
object Of the proposed arrangement is
to make Sunday travel less objection
able to those who believe in a strict
observance of the first day Of the
week. Railroad passengers, however,
are likely to be of many different
creeds, SO that the same service will
not appeal to all Of them, and it is
hardly to be expected that even the
most enterprising Of the railroad corpo-
rations will engage ministers represent
ing all the different denominations. So
long as trains run on Sunday there will
doubtless be people who from choice or
from necessity will patronize them.
But before starting a railway relig-
lous service" there would seem to be
other reforms which are more pressing
and more practical. The sometimes
outrageous price charged for sleeping
car accommodation might be made
more reasonable; the dining car SER
vice on many roads might be improved
in quality and made less expensive;
the ventilation and heating of trains
might be better looked after. Mean
while the man who is forced to travel
on Sunday and who at the same time
wishes to observe the day properly
may be able to do so without the ne
cessity of bringing ministers into the
corporation service.

Dishonest Army Clerk

San Frnacisco, Ernest Emmerich,
chief clerk in the Quartermaster' De-
patment, U U.S.A., has been arrested,
charged with conspiring with j. w.
Bartholomew, also under arrest, to
defraud the government by approving
bills for supplies that were never fur
nished. He was released on $4,000
bonds.
On Emmerich's person was found a
note made payable to him from the
American Box Factory, which has been
paid considerable money for supplies
that, it is claimed were never delivered
to the government. Bartholomew is
the secretary of the concern. The boxes
were used in packing guns and ammu-
milton for shipment

A Havana correspondent, adverting
to the return Of Gen. A. r. Chaffee to
the United States, writes: "Gen. Chat
fee has been unquestionably one of the
most popular Americans in Cuba, and
all classes and nationalities f1ocked to
bid him farewell" Another writes:
"The Cubans really regret to lose Gen.
Chaffee, who has been known as the
watchdog of their treasury. He has
handled 1000, 900 of their money with
infinite care and painstaking This
fact is appreciated by them and is
comented upon by the press"
The acquisition by the Navy Depart
ment of the dry dock at Havana is
most desirable. There is no other dry
dock in the entire Gulf. The transfer
of the dock, which the government
will soon purchase from Spain, will be
made as soon as the title has been ac-
quired. 1t will be bought with money
appropriated directly from the Treas
ury Department, so that it cannot be
asserted later that it is the property of
the Cubans. 1t will be placed in the
harbor OF San Juan, Porto Rico.

The Des Moines Register suggests
that every village in Iowa should have
a canning factory. The idea is a good
one, and as the Register estimates that
a canning plant, including a three
horsepower boiler, can be set up for
$3.50, the plan is quite possible and is
worthy of consideration not only in
Iowa but in Illinois, Indiana, Michi-
gan, Wisconsin, or other States where
more vegetables and fruits are raised
than are needed for immediate local
consumption. Such factories would not
only be a profitable investment for
those who supplied the capital but they
would be of great advantag to the town.
Products that are perishable would
be saved. fruit and vegetables could
be sold for better prices than If they
were to be shipped In the raw condition
to larger city, where a cannery might
be in operation. The canning season
comes at time when school is not in

A correspondent says there is 'cry-
piece. He believes the minting of such
a coin would stimulate trade, for, ac-
cording to him, the consumer is struck
more forcibly by the cost Of 75-cent
garment when he hands over for it half
a dollar and quarter dollar, being
two coins, than he would be were he to
hand over a 75-cent piece. This Is not
a convincing argument, and the Chi
cagO Tribune thinks it is not inclined
to agitate for the new coin, as the COR
10, % and so cent pieces it is easy to
make change even when buying 39-cent
and Accent articles, Of which there
seems to be about as many as there are
75-cent articles. There used to be
Scent, scent and 2O-cent silver and
3-cent nickel pieces. Their coinage has
been discontinued because it was found
they answered no good purpose. Dur.
ing the fractional currency era 15-cent
shinplasters were put in circulation. 1t
was SA1iiSN IHhI lHcy WOulu Ue Qulle
useful because there were so many ar.
ticles which cost just Is cents. The
public did not take kindly to them,
however. The silver dollar is too heavy
to please the people. The weight Of the
half-dollar they do not complain Of. 1t
Is possible they might not find fault
with the weight Of 75-cent pieces,
though for time they would confuse
them with halves and dollars. There
is absolutely no popular demand for
this new coin, however. 1t never has
occurred to anybody, except this CORE
spondent, that man will spend 75-
cent piece with less reluctance chan a
half and a quarter dollar.
