SOME SUGGESTIONS.

We fan to see why he actions Of
members of the Legislature should
be subjected to the criticism, which
some of our contemporaries feel
called upon to deal out in unplsaa-
ant doses. We hattor ourselves at
having gained some experience in
Hawaiian politics, and We feel that
we are in the right, when We ask
the voters, the taxpayers at large, to
go slow in making up their minds in
giving verdict in regard TO the
actions of the men who legally rep
resent them in the Assembly which
now is considering the welfare Of
these islands,

that they will have the support OF

they allow party spirit and party

MOTHER AND CHILDREN

Mothers wear themselves out and do
teaching them to help themselves and
to be helpful to others. The amount of
care that a child requires is yery
different from that which it may from
indulgence demand. If the child were
better for it one would not grudge the
time and WEAKNESS that the mother or
nurse spends. but the child is de-
frauded in the exercise of those DOW
ers which can only develop by being
put into use. 1t Is better for child to
go to sleep by itself than when it Is
rocked and sung to sleep, but as gen.
eral thing mothers prefer the bondage
Of the process of wOoing sleep for their
children. and so tie themselves up and
add to their burdens without in the
least increasing the comfort of the
child. Mothers would spare them-
selves greatly il they would only
learn that the training of the child be-
gins with TIE earliest weeks, and that
they can make the child understand
many things that they would not be-
lieve possible. When the mother is
demonstrated with for spelling the
child by over-indulgence she will say:
My child is different from, others:
she is more nervous. If I do not take
her mp she will cry and make herself
sick The child in the beginning,
finding that the mother ran to it the
minute it began to cry, Of course soon
learned this method OF summoning

MARSElLLES IN MISERY.

which has all along been regarded BY
the strikers as the crucial point in
the dispute.
In spite of the increasing number OF
free lockers now working. quantities
of perishabie goods lie rotting on the
docks. Twenty-one steamers are wait
ing discharge.
The general strike while it lasted
and the continued suspension CT most
dock work has done enormous injury
10 the commerce and industry of Mar
selies. The calculations snow an in
dustrial loss of some 25,O00000 francs.
While the men have lost more than -
00o.0C0 francs in wages.
A curious illustration of the bitter
ness which the strike has engendcred
between the men and the masters is
seen in the fact that the strikers in
structed their delegates to give for
NAL notification to the minister of IL
nance of frauds in the oil seed trade
pointing out that oil seeds We're i'm
ported in bags which the customs Off
GERS have not been in the habit of
opening. with the result that articles
subject to much lighter import duty
are struggled in the bags.
The commerce Of Marseilles is for the
time being almost at a complete
standstill. Food stufs, which are
largely imported. are now scarce. The
prices of sugar, coffee, flour and other
necessary articles have doubled. A
number of factories have been obliged
to close. These conditions, added 20
the serious damage done by floods and

into deep misery. The storekeeperS
and merchants intend to appeal to the
government to REM. the taxes for the
first three months of the year.
At the strike meetings held, last
evening, and attended by about 5000
lockers and coal beavers. it was de-
cided to continue the strike until the
masters concede the S-hOur day.
At later meeting some 400 dock
foremen, who had not hitherto joined
the strike decided to refuse to con-
tinue to work with the imprOviscd dock
hands until the demands of the strik-
ers were conceded.
This will paralyze dock work. as in
