ship This government by Bishops was
unique and without parallel or prece-

colonial days OF New England q minis
ter sometimes exercised an authority
or performed functions similar 10 theirs.
Ii is to be distinctly understood that
they never usurped authority, and that
all the powers exercised by them were
voluntarily conceded 10 them 10y the
members Of their wards. Almost In
yariably their instructions and decls-
ions were cheorlully acceded TO by the
peuple. because they were recognized
as Intelligent, unbiased and judlcious
men. whose greatest desire was to serve
the best interests Of their Hocks. Their
public duties were discharged without
fee or reward. and they bore themselves
as fathers to the people.
There existed no secular government
having machinery that reached and
provided for the immediate needs Of
the people, but an elaborate and enec-

Education Board Can
Get No Federal Funds

The Board of Education met in regu-
lar session yesterday afternoon. There
were present Minister Mott-Smith, DR..
kins, Mrs. Hall, Mrs. Jordan, Prof.
Alexander, T. II. Gibson and Secretary
Rodgers.
The question of raising teachers
salaries was brought up and took most
of the afternoon; the question Of spe-
cialists salaries and those of individ-
uals being gone into. Mr.. Won Holt
took prominent part in the discussion
and asked some very pointed questions
Mrs. Hall favored the establishment
OF an agricultural branch for educa-
tional work in the Territory, such as
exist on the Mainland;and she raised
the question as to whether a portion of
the SIS, 900 appropriated for an expert
mental agricultural station could not
be used for establishing the proposed
branch.
DIR. Maxwell made full statement as
to inquiries already made of Secretary
Wilson touching the question raised
by Mrs. Hall. His opinion was that
Secretary Wilson's object was merely
to expand and make more useful the
present experimental station, but not
to add thereto: therefore, the $4,000,
as Mr. Wilson understood the matter,
could not be used to establish de-
partment for teaching agriculture.
Others had already applied for portions
of the fund mentioned, and he had al
ready advised them that 1t would not
be available for establishing teaching
departments in the various schools. or
even in the Government schools.
Half a dozen applications were re-
ceived from teachers for positions,
transfers and leave of absence, which
were referred to the proper commit
tees, with the exception of Miss Helen
Severance of Hilo, who was granted
permission to leave for the Coast two
weeks before the present term ends.
A letter was read expressing the
views of the teachers of North Kona
on vacations.
A letter from the principal of Ka-
lihi-waena school stated that the
school was overcrowded and pupils
were daily turned away. He, there
fore, submitted plans for new build
ing. The matter was referred to the
committee on lands and buildings and
action on his application to open a
night school was deferred.
A petition from South Kona was re-
ceived through the Interior Office ask
ing that new roads be opened to the
school house; Mr.. Rowell thought II
would be best to move the school
house. Referred to the school agent.
Mr.. Mott-Smith announced that the
appropriation bills had been signed
and that unpaid contracts and bills
could now be paid and other important
expenditures made.
Considerable discussion on school
topics took place and before the meet
ing closed President MottSmith spoke
of his pleasant relations with the Com
missioners of Education and of his re-
tirement on the 18th of June under the
| Territorial Act. He hoped the com
missioners would carry on the gooC
work without faltering and asked tina
they would keep in sight the policy o.
the past to secure n general raise IL
teachers salaries as soon as possible.

Vote Of the Cable Bill
To Be Taken May 16

Washington, May 4.-Representative
Corlss of Michigan has introduced a
resolution setting May 18th for the
consideration by the House of the Pa
ci6c cable bill, the vote to be taken
May 10th.
Corliss, who is an influential member
of the Committee on Interstate and
Foreign Commerce, has been an earn
est advocate of Government ownership
of the Pacific cable, and dissented from
the majority report Of the committee,
which was in favor of granting a sub
sidy of $780, to the private corpora
ton building and operating a subma-
rine telegraph line to Honolulu and
the Orient. 1t is thought the Commit
tee on Rules will report rule for the
consideration of the bid, but with The
understanding that the Pacific cable
bill already passed by the Senate will
be taken up. This bill provides for
the laying of cable only to Honolulu
at cost not to exceed 100000.

A Commemorative TOnst.

A short time ago the Italian colony
in New York gave banquet to Mar
conf, the famous inventor. The formal
toasts were given and answered with
customary eloquence. 1t was pointed
out that Marconi had made one of the
great inventions of the century, and
had won everlasting fame. Then sure
ly the only living person who would
refuse an offer Of 100000 to write an
account of his experiences. The AL
satin did not even respond in words to
this offer of British publisher-he
merely shrugged his shoulders.
