THE OLD AND THE NEW.

The last week of the closing
year is certain to be fruitful in
recollections and resolves. No
sane man, we suppose, can make
a thorough inspection of his whole
conduct-his thoughts, words and
deeds-for a single year without
finding much to censure and con-
denim. Atany rate we do not envy
the man who possesses a temper
so complacent as to enable him to
smile over every portion of the
record that he has made. With
those searching words of our Lord
sounding in our ears, When ye
have done all things, say that We
are improbable servants" we
shudder at the mere thought OF
self-conceit, or even Of self-con-
graduation. The best victories
that we have won are too much
like drawn battles to be regarded
with perfect satisfaction. Our
noblest service, if scanned with
the keen eye of honest self-exam-
ination, will be found to have
contained some element of alloy.
The close of the year is season
for memory. Those who are in
clined to do so may turn this
reminiscential mood to good ac-
count. Those to whom the dying
year has brought disappointment
look forward to the dawn of the
new year with fresh hope. In the
battle of life the man who has
learned to take things as they
come and let go as they depart
has mastered one of the secrets of
cheerful and contented living.
The folly of chasing after hap
piness and the fatuity of clinging
to sorrow are about equal. A good
share of the disappointments in
life comes from trying to fly kites
after the string has broken or from
looking for gold only in the pot at
the base of the rainbow. Vision
that takes in the far-off is a COM
pensation for many lacks, but the
gift of seeking what is near and
utilizing that which is within reach
is more valuable for everyday use,
Agreat many persons are longing
for the measureless opportunities
of eternity who don't know the
value of an hour. The boon of q
new chance in the other world is
craved most by those who have
thrown away their chances here,
One of the chief uses of retro
spect is to take bearings for the
future and to correct our course
wherein it has been wrong
Therefore the flutter of ''new
leaves" turning, which will soon
be in the air, is not altogether a
childish, much less contemplate
proceeding. A good resolution
would much better depend upon
an occasion than not to be made
at all.

HAWAII SHOULD HONOR McKIH
LEY.

Instead Of adopting the suggestion
OF J. A McCandless that Hawaii sub
scribe a sum equal to one dollar for
every inhabitant OF the Territory for
a national monument to the late Presi-
dent Mckinley. The Republican be-
lieYes ii would be much better for
Hawaii to raise a sufficient fund to
erect a fine statue Of Mckinley in
front OF the Capitol building in this
city. Congress will vote funds for a
handsome monument for Mckinley to
be erected in the national capital and
private subscriptions in the United
States will provide sufficient funds
for a monument over his grave at
Canton which shall rival the monu-
ment erected in Garfield's memory in
Lakeview Cemetery. Cleveland, and
the monument erected at Springfield.
Illinois, over Lincoln.
It is most fitting that Hawaii should
have a fine statue of Mckinley in
front of the Capitol building. 1t was
under McKinley's administration that
Hawaii was annexed to the United
States and made part of the great
est country Gods sun shines upon.
1t was largely due to McKinley's in
linence that the joint resolution pro-
yiding for annexation passed Con
gress. Hawaii owes much to McKin-
ley and it would be most creditable
for the first of the new insular Ter
ritories to commemorate his memory
by the erection of a fine monument
in his honor. Thirty Thousand
Dollars would be ample for the pur
pose and The Republican believes
this amount could be easily raised by
popular subscription.

SCHOOLS IN Tag PHILIPPINES

The most interesting part of the an
nual report of F. w, Atkinson. Super
intendent Of Public instruction in the
Philippines, is the announcement that
English has been adopted as the me-
dunn Of instruction in the training of
Filipino teachers. and that during the
year English win displace Spanish in
the schools. Spanish was the official
language during the old regime, but
even then it was used by very small
proportion of the inhabitants. who
speak various Philippine dialects.
There are many difficulties in the way
Of a sudden transition from Spanish
to English. but under the gradual pro.
cess OF educating the youth the
change will probably be made easily
and naturally. The Philippine School
law authorized the appointment from
the United States of 1000 school
teachers, and Of these isl have been
selected. OF the 4S7 soldiers who ap-

nAwAIIs ISOLATION.

How much Hawaii is isolated from
the rest of the world and especially
from the United States, OF which Ha-
vail now forms a part. was well illus
trated at the time Of the assassination
o. President Mckinley. The President
had been shot. had died one week lat
er. his body was lying in state at
Washington. and President Roosevelt
had been indicted into Office. before
Hawaii knew that the President had
even been shot.
The President was shot on the after
noon Of September 9Th. The first
news Of that event was received In
Honolulu on the night OF September
18th on the steamer Para which had
sailed from Port Wilmington the
morning Of the sth having on board
Los Angeles papers OF September 7th.
On the afternoon Of the 18th the
steamer Ventura arrived from San
Francisco with mail bringing news up
70 the morning OF September 18th
when the President was reported as
very much improved and there seem
ed great hope for his recovery. The
next news came on the transport War
ren on the afternoon OF September
oath informing US that the President
was dead.
Thus II is readily seen that when
Hawaii first learned that the Presi-
dent had been shot. eleven days had
elapsed. his death had occurred. Presi-
dent Roosevelt had taken the oath OF
Office. and the body OF the late Presi-
dent at the very hour OF the arrival
OF the steamer Para in this port was
lying in state in the National Capitol.
When the news of McKinley's death
was received in Honolulu the final
funeral services at Canton were al
ready five days past.
II is well that President Roosevelt
has declared in favor OF the building
OF a Pacific cable. 1t is most impor.
tant for every portion Of our grand
country that the insular Territory OF
Hawaii should be in cable communi
cation with the remainder Of the civil
lied world.

Volcano WARMING un.

HILO. Sept. 27.-Persons returning
from the Volcano this week, report
that the rocks near the crater are hot
ter than thev have been before for
the last six weeks. The big crack
which is the center of so much in
terest is SO hot that a stick of wood
inserted twelve inches. blazes in an
instant The crack runs in a semi
circular form about the crater and
to some it appears that the first cata-
clysm likely to come to pass is the
falling of huge segment of the crater
which they figure overhangs the gulf
of fire below. The rocks on the sur
face are now so hot that ones feet
grow decidedly uncomfortable if the
inspection of the big fire crack is pro-
longed too many minutes.
