A PROBLEM.

large number of school children
left by the Ninau and other steamers
to spend their vacation upon the other
islands, and quite a number left last
week, while a considerable number
of teachers sailed either to the other
islands or to the coast. This news is
Photographed i'm all the papers and the
idea acquired is that the school children
go off and have a glorious time. AS a
fact it is nothing of the kind. 1t is only
very small percentage that goes away
for any vacation few hundred out
of many thousands.
We hardly give a thought or until
quite lately have hardly given a
thought to the well being of the chill
dren during the wearisome summer va
cation. The long vacation, to the chill
dren of the poor, is both wearisome and
demoralizing. 1t has been formed for
the benefit of the teachers and of the
we'll do children, who can get away
to change of scene and change of eli
mate.
This condition of affairs has been re-
cognized upon the mainland and has in
some cases been met. In many cities
philanthropic people have raised money
and hired playing fields, where games
and other amusements are provided. Of
course there has to be certain amount
of discipline, and some people are re-
quired to be present in order to keep it.
This method of tiding over the long va
cation has been remarkably successful
and the police note a distinct fall lg off
Of juvenile crime during the vacations.
Other cities have regular vacation
schools. There has been a beginning
made in Hartford, Connections, and
this viii he the fifth year Of the expert
ment. This has been growing until j.
has now become a feature Of Hartford
and the organization is getting con-
siderable assistance,
Such organizations are not instituted
by the school boards, though members
of the school boards take a personal
interest in them. They are the work or
the citizens, generally of some commit
tee of ladies. That we need such here
no one, who has any knowledge of the
condition of the children of the poor,
can deny. Something is done but it is
isolated, not united effort. For instance
Mrs. Henry Wilcox continues her sew
ing classes for girls, but these can only
reach a limited number There are la
dies here who take great interest in
philanthropic objects, and to their eff
forts this subject is commended. 1t
means hard work, it means personal
work, but it is there to be done, and it
will soon show practical fruits. Who
will take it up?

Judge Wilcox gave the three hood
lums who ill-treated an Hawaiian in
one of the saloons about town a most
thorough dressing down. The judges
language was of the choicest. These
fellows have appealed their case to the
Circuit Court where they will get a
jury trial. 1t has happened before now
that case appealed to the Circuit
Court has received an increase instead
of q diminution of sentence. 1t may be
that Messrs. Gallagher and Co. win be
sorry they have appealed.

\ COMING EVENT.

The Panama Canal may ba some
years off but the cable now seems very
near. The vessel with the Mackay
cable aboard will soon leave England,
and start on its long voyage round the
Horn. If the canal We're only open the
vessel would not take half the time to
reach San Francisco, and would not
run the risks which will be encountered
in going round through those stormy
seas. But we shall get our cable long
time before we get the canal.
Once the cable is made and trans
ported to San Francisco, the actual
time of laying the cable will not take
very long and the landing and con-
nections will be quickly arranged for.
The landing will be at Sans Souci, at
Waikiki and there will be regular
Office in town from which messages
will be despatched. What a boon this
will be. 1t will create an entire revolu-
ton in the business methods of the
Islands, and will make them more up
to date and rapid. 1t viii also revolu-
tionize the newspaper work of the ISL
ands, and we shall be in daily mental
touch with the great events Of the
world

business of the cable company here is
beginning to hustle around to get into
readiness for the landing of the cable.

done, buildings and offices to put up,
and arrangements about rates to be
made. At first there may not be a
large number Of messages, but given q
means Of communication properly con-
Quoted, and a certainty of the delivery
of messages, and it viii become very
generally used. Business firms are
constantly having telegraphtc mes
sages carried by mail across the ocean
and then despatched by wire'across the
continent. Newspaper correspondents
mail and then have an agent to put the
stuff on the wires. In the affairs of
private life Geographic message will
be often times invaluable.
As far as communication between
the Islands is concerned the question
whether the wireless telegraphy can be
used by the cable company is still in
-&beyance. The main section of the line
Is reported as running very satisfac-
torily. The Hawaii section ought soon
to be in working order, but the Kauai
section is still in the air. However, up
on this the cable people will judge, and
it is to be hoped that the local company
can get the business.
We certainly have great things in
prospect, and we should prepare our
selves to receive them and make tho
best use of them.

NEARLY SETTLED.

After many years of dreaming, after
much examination of the physical
features of the two routes, there seems
at last a chance of the canal being cut
through the American continent, and a
waterway being established between
the Atlantic and the Pacific. From the
time of Columbus forward for a cen
fury or more voyagers went poking up
every river and estuary in hope of find
ing a natural waterway between the
two oceans They sailed Up the Orinoco
the Amazon, the Rio de la Plata and it
ever eluded them, until they got well
south and crawled through the Strait
of Magellan in rather sorry guise, and
then that strait and that of lie Marie
and Schouten, became the nconvenient
path by which the nations of the West
might reach much of that great ocean
which used to be designated the South
Seas.
The fact that canal could be made
through the Isthmus struck a Spanish
navigator and admiral over three hum
dred years ago, but the world was not
ripe for his project them and it slum-
bered for three centuries. None Of the
great captains during the warfare in
the West Indies which was Waged
between French, Spanish and British,
seem to have meditated the possibility
of a canal though it would have been
OF great value to certainly one of the
belligerents. 1t was, however, the
success of the Suez Canal which led to
the attempt to cut the Isthmus of Pan
anna or 70 find an alternate route.
The Suez Canal was, dreamed of as
promptly knocked on the head by the
Caliph Omar, and most probably the
proposer suffered the same fate, De
Lesseps brought forward his scheme in
1854, and the canal was completed and
opened with grand ceremonies in 1869,
Traffic dates from 1870. Nine years
later the Panama Canal was being dis
cussed and by 1886 about three miles
We're completed. OF course every one
remembers the crash of 1892 when all
the swindles connected with the canal
were exposed, and regulations were
ruined in every direction. The company
was reorganized and has been pegging
away in a small way ever since.
The Nicaragua route was proposed
in 1879 and was favored by General
Grant. There have many expeditions
and much negotiation with. regard to
the rival routes and the balance has
gone one way at one, time and entirely
opposite at another Ibsnow seems as
if an agreement viii be arrived at by
the Senate and House, and that the

Kansas city has met the tramp ques-
ton in a practical way. The loafers
were rounded up and offered either
work and good food in the harvest
field, or the rock pile and short rations
for thirty days. We had round up Of
loafers here some little time ago, and
they departed to work on the planta-

another round up and give our own
tramps a similar offer again, with the
Kansas alternative.

apt to be biased, In installing a new
regime 1t would have been much better
both for the Board of Health and the
public if an eyewitness account were
furnished by trained observers. How
ever, to stand in an attitude of hostil-
ity towards the newspapers is the nor
NAL attitude of a certain section of the
Board, and it is a section that might
well be dispensed with.

The festive Moro has been chopping
up stragglers in good shape. The
Moros idea of liberty is to chop up the

into the territories of his neighbors
with a view of getting the heads OF
Christian males as ornaments for the
city and the anneXing of Christian fe-
males, for the harem. The Moros are
peculiarly fitted for self government.

Desperate Thief.

On last Thursday night supposed thief
made vicious assault upon Wm. George,
the sixteen year old son MI. H. A. George
who lives in Wards Cove in tie west end
of this county. The young man had been
out on his fathers farm and Was returning
to the house. When lie was near the
barn man jumped upon him With knife
and cut lis clothing in half "a dozen places.
Some of the cuts went through to the skin,
one of them reaching clear across the
chest. it was just after dark and young
George managed to get away unhurt, but
could not recognize the man.
1t is thought to be the same party who
IN the past month has several times
tried to rob Mr.. Georges chicken ro'st.
On one of these occasions VIM. George
shot at him and shot bunch of chickens
the thief was holding 10 his hand. Short
lv after that when George was out on the
lot after night man made on assault up
on him, but used no weapon.
The whole affair is mysterious and the
unknown party is very bold and desperate.

SOUTHERN ELECTION
Republican congressman Heard on the
Subject

Washington, February S.-The bill sup
ported by number of Southern Republi-
can Representatives, proposing strong
federal election Law against intimidation,
ballot. box frauds, ect., was considered TO-
day by the House Committee on Election
of President and Vice President, Messrs.
Barthodt, of Missouri, and Gibson, of
Tennessee, who have assisted in framing
the PROPOSED bill, were heard on the ex'
tent of election irregularities in their States
and elsewhere in the South. They ex-
planned the alleged partsanship ofelectior
boards as made up by the governors, ano
also cited recent decisions of the courts
which showed they contended, that The
judicial branch took q rather lenient view
of ballot box irregularities. MIR. Gibson
said it was enough to deny the franchise
to the negro, but when the white man al
SO was denied the franchise the situation
became intolerable. This brought on
spirited rejoinder from Representatiy
sulIoway, of New Hampshire, who main
tained that black and white alike wer
entitled to protection in exercising tn
franchise.
Tue hearings will continue next Thurs
day.

AMERICA PROTESTS.
Russo Chinese Treaty Closes Market to
American Cotton.

Washington, Feb. DEMONSTRATIONS be-
tween the United States government anu
the government Of Russia, relative to Man
cLuria, are progressing. The attitude OF
the Russian government in this matter has
shifted materially. In the first place, a
treaty was drawn up between Russia and
China providing for the evacuation OIL
Manchuria by the Russian troops. Thls
treaty contained a great many rather COM
plex guarantees in Russia's favor, but a
singularly ohjectioable proviso was one
placing the Russo.Chinese bank in practl'
cal control of the commercial and material
Interests of Manchuria. 1t was quickly
perceived that the provision, if executed,
would practically exclude Americans from
competition in Manchuria, which partlc-
ularly valuable a &et for our manu-
factured cOttons. Therefore, Russia's at
tention was directed to our existing rights
under treaty with China, and also to her
own promises made to the United States
government during the early days of Rus
sian occupation of Manchuria.
Apparently our representations we're
elfectual. for the Objectionable provlso
touching the Russo-C Chinese bank was
withdrawn from the treaty However, 1t
has teen discovered that the Russian gov
eminent, following practice known NJ
European diplomacy, has drawn up a se'
cret agreement with China, comforting up
Oh the Russo Chinese bank all Of the pow
ers contained in the original treaty prOvi'
30. Therefore the United States has re-
newed It's objections, not only addressing
itself to the Russian government but max
ing very strong protest to the govern
ineut of China.
