we to do with the small boy when we
catch him? In the first place the small
boy is very hard to catch. He has
guards out in every direction from
which the group may be approached,
and if anything suspicious appears the
dice disappear and two or three inno-
cent marbles take their place. Say,
however, that all the vigilance is over
come and that group, ranging in age
from ten to fourteen is taken red hand
ed. How to proceed? We don't want
to make criminals of them before their
time. 1t they are fined the money
penalty falls upon the parents, who
are poor and would necessarily fall up
on their stomachs, which would be bad
for them and for the state which needs
strong, well fed and well developed
children.
There is always the Reformatory
School, but this should be reserved for
other delinquents. Besides the new
Industrial school, as it is to be called,
is still in the air. The Legislature has
large as asked for, and under any cir
cumstances the buildings will take
time to put up.
The problem of what is to be done
remains insoluble, but it is one which
should be faced and solved. Our social
reformers have attacked and had a
measure of success in reforming on
other lines, let them attack this as well.
This community, formed as it is of
heterogeneous materials has in its blood
the gambling fever. The Chinese has
it, the japanese has it, the Hawaiian
has it, and it is no vice of civilization
with him, for he used to gamble before
the advent of the white man. The Por-
to Rican inherits gambling from the
Spaniard. The white foreigner, too,
brings a taste for gambling in many
cases. The elements for gambling are
strong, and it is right to strike the
note of warning that gambling is
spreading.

STRANGE OMISSIONS.


The omission of the sum of $4,000
from the appropriation BILL which
should have been inserted to liquidate
unpaid bills is certainly a curious one.
No one seems to know how or why it
was left out. These bills as the Super
intendent of Public Works points out
in letter are some of them of long
standing both at home and abroad, have
been duly approved by the proper Off
Gals and should be paid, indeed the
credit of the Territory is at stake over
them.
Another omission has been made
about the schools of Oahu. outside of
the proposed Industrial School at the
north end of the Island, not a cent of
money has been appropriated for the
school buildings of the most populous
and the wealthiest Island of the group.
OF Information upon the point there
was ample store. There were the Gov
ernor's estimates, there was a detailed
statement in the report of the Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction. The
Senate committee on education was
thoroughly familiar with the needs of
the various districts of the Islands,
having gone through the bill seriatim
with the uperintendent, and cut down
where it was possible, and being shown
where cutting down impossible, if the
school system was to be efficiently car
ried on. The whole of the Hawaiian
portion of the Home Rule party inter
viewed the Department of Education
and made themselves acquainted with
it's wants. incidentally members and
Senators have obtained information
both written and oral.
The fact that the Royal school, an
institution which is dear to the hearts
of so many Hawaiians, and which is
presided over. by so popular and so
self sacrificing man as Alexander
Macintosh has been completely ignor-
ed, and is left as it We're in the air,
makes the omission ineXplicable. Then
there are places on Oahu, where there
are no schools at all. This is the case
at Honolulu plantation, where the chill
dren are simply running wild, and at
Waialua there is an old tumble down
two room school house while there
ought to be a six roomed school house
in an entirely different location.
The explanation of the omission will
probably never be given, but that it is
serious and may be disastrous is very
certain.

U. S. PROGRESS.

The European papers have coined
new phrase THE Yankee peril" This
is written about and discussed more in
Germany than in any country OF Europe
though each and every one has some
thing to say upon the point. The yam
kee peril" is the continued commercial
and industrial progress of the United
States, which has begun to arouse
alarm throughout Europe.
DR.. Won Peez, the great German eco
nomist in his latest article points out
that it is not the China nor the Trans
vaal war; but the great Industrial race
between England, Germany and the
United States which forms the most
enduring and weightiest interest of the
future. Europe has felt the pressure of
American competition already, but Won
Peez says that when the United States
shall have been freed from the Philip
nine war it's industrial advance upon
Europe will be more fully manifested.
The United States, equally strong in
manufacturing and agriculture, and
pushing her exports with characteristic
energy, is now absorbing Europe's
money. According to Won Peez the cash
balance in favor of our country, during
the last three years amounted to 81, $780,
600, 600, through which the United States
can exercise a strong influence upon
Europes rate of interest.
Won Peez has remedy. The Euro
pean opportunity will come, he claims,
with the termination of the existing
commercial treaties. He wants a tariff
established counter to the Union, while
the tariffs between the European states
are to remain similar to what they are
now. This practically means Euro
pean commercial alliance. and tariff
war between the old world and the
new.
These arguments have been floating
about in numerous publications. Won
Peez has put them in concise form and
1t is well for us to study the CONNER
cial features of a future which may
eventually have considerable interest
