FOUNDERS DAY.

To-day is the anniversary of the
establishment OF the Kamehameha
schools which were founded by Mrs.
Psushi Bishop and later on richly
endowed by her husband Hon. .Chas.
r. Bishop, who although an absen-
tee from the country has nev0r for
gotten his love for the fair islands
whore he met happiness and for
tune.
The Kamehameha schools are do
ing good work and the boys and
girls educated in the institution
should to-day offer a special prayer
to the Supreme Being in blessing
the noble woman aud the honorable
gentleman who have enabled them
to receivs good edueation,a a cnauce
to become good men and women
and an opportunity to lead their
people onto future prosperity.
We do not care to criticizs to-day
the principles in regard to teaching.
adopted by the management OF the
schools. Pauahi would rather find
girls Of hsr race who can sew and
darn, cook and do housswork, than
girls whose main object in life
seem to play piano (badly) and sing

Psuahi would rather see Hawaiian
boys willing to put their hand, be-
hind a plough in the canefields,
ready to take the job of teamster
than seeing a flock out of which SO
per cent want to be lawyers, clerks
or newspaper men. The manage
ment of the schools is certainly not
up to the demands of our peculiar
circumstances in Hawaii. The OBJ
jeot of the Founder was good and
for that reason we all respectfully
bow our heads in admiration OF the
noble woman, who is no longer
among us, and her husband, whose

The majority OF the haoles, even

He has been Q resident there since that
time except four years while collector Of

been closely identified with the building

acquainted With nearly every old settler

always been identified with the dem
ocratic party until 1896 when the Chi
cago platform was adopted, which he
considered 90 far removed from the doc

ted to the state senate from this district,
first in 1876 and second in 1892 He
held several other important Offices,
such as sheriff Of this county, mayor Of
the city OF Columbus and several terms
az surveyor. Besides being collector Of

Il TO porta Rieo.

That the pretended fears for the fu-
ture OF the people OF Porto Rico dis
played by Bryanits orators are entirely
without foothold among the people OF
that island is the gist OF every reliable
report that comes from that direction.
Speaking OF the Porto Rican tariff, Dr..
j. II. Hollander, formerly one OF the
professors Of political economy at Johns
Hopkins university and now on q visit
home after nearly a year in our new
possession, where he is serving a. treas
urer for the government and has special
facilities for observation, is quoted AZ
saying:
1 can imagine nothing more uncalled
for than the wave OF emotionalism that
swept the United States over the Porto
Rican tariff measure. The Measure was
q godsend to the people OF the island
and the cry against it in the United
States found no echo in Porto Rico. It
has been the means Of helping the ma
tives to get upon their feet, 80 to speak,
and has done all that those who advO-
Gated it in congress claimed it would do.
Had it not passed, ~ of two things
would have been the inevitable result
q burdensOme internal tax on the people
or q subsidy from the United States.
The first would have been too heavy too
carry; the other alternative would have
made the islanders wards of charity and
would have further encouraged them in
idleness. From practical demonstration
of the operations of the act, l am more
than convinced of the wisdom of the
measure. As to the finances of the
island, I would say that in the place of
q deficiency We have now q surplus of
about $35O,OOO. a most encouraging
omen. My budget this year will net
about $2yOOO,OOO, realized as follows:
Customs in Porto Rico. 81. 100000; Porto
Rican customs in the United States,
$4,000, and from the internal revenue
Of the island, S5OO.ON.
The facts about Porto Rico all point
to a wonderful improvement of coudi-
tions in the island since the transfer
from Spain to the United States, and
the people Of Porto Rico. far from CON-
planning Of their treatment, would not
80 back voluntarily to old conditions
any more than the people of the United
States would exchange their present
prosperity again for the hard times that
preceded the election of Mckinley
Omaha Bee.

The posters entitled "Uncle Sans

the most striking illustrations of the

far in the campaign. These posters can

The Republican national committee
in order to secure some up to date facts
of interest relative to financial condi-
lions in the great agricultural sections
Of the United States west Of the ALE
ghany mountains sent out letters to
several hundred business men in the
large cities and In country towns Of
these sections.
They were asked how the bank de-
posits Of their communities compared
with four years ago, to what extent
there had been improvement in the
credits of their municipalities OF town.
ships and what betterment II any was
noticeable In the condition Of the Dor
rowing classes.
The business men to whom letters
were sent were selected without any
reference to and without knowledge Of
their political Affiliations. In several
instances extremely interesting replies
came from bankers having q national
reputation In Democratic party circles.
such II John r. Walsh, president Of
the Chicago National bank.
The general substance of the replies
shows that savings and commercial de-
posits have increased from 30 to 12O
per cent since 1896; that municipalities
are able to borrow money at q rate av-
eraging more than one-half Of I per
cent less than In 1896; that farm values
in most sections have almost doubled;
that about 80 per cent Of farm mort
cages have been paid up and the re-
mainder renewed only with prepay
ment'' privileges and at lower interest
rates and that from 20 to Is per cent Of
the debtor classes, to whom Bryan four
years ago vainly appealed with his dis
honest propositions for cutting in two
