Active preparations for the
Grand Carnival and Parade in
Opelousas on the 10Th of this
month are being pushed, and the
affair promises to equal if not to
surpass the display of 1901. Many
Of our citizens who had not taken
part in last years celebration
have gone energetically to work
to be strictly sin it. this time,
and will doubtless make a very
creditable showing on the 10Th.
We will no doubt have hundreds
of visitors from the surrounding
country, and we have every rea-
son to promise them all very
enjoyable time. Many of the fea-
lures of the Carnival of 1902 will
be new and novel, and the show
will be well worth while travelling
many miles to see. Come every
body and enjoy it.

from memory to leave out some one but
it is only necessary for a person to look
round our rising business community
and the young members of the liberal
professions to realize the truth of the
statements and to be able to confute'
contrary statements carelessly made.
It We can be proud Of the material
which the islands produce, We should
also be proud of the class Of teachers to
whom the training of the mind is en-
trusted, and especial credit should be
given to NJ. NJ. Scott, the Principal Of
the school, who has so ably supervised
the work during it's progress. The
Honolulu High School is a credit to the
islands, and its influence win be more
and more felt as time goes on. 1t has
grown from small beginnings to its
present proportions, and it's progress
viii be infinitely greater in the future
with all it's progress Mr.. Scott has been
connected and in it he has a monument
to his industry and his erudition.
1t is a credit to the city to learn from
the letter of Thomas L. Fiske, secretary
of the College Entrance Examination
that the work of the pupils in history
was worthy of special mention being
equal to the best done at any point"
Principal Scott has made a speciality of
historical teaching, and the result shows
that such teaching is equal to that Of
any similar work on the mainland.
1t is a pleasure to have an oppor-
tunity to give praise where it is merited
and it certainly is merited by Principal
Scott, his teachers and his pupils.

TO MEET TRUSTS.

According to Bradstreets the sugges-
ton comes from abroad that trusts, the
adequate treatment of which has taxed
the resources of Legislators both in COM
monwealth and our own nation, be dealt
with by an International conference.
This proposal comes from Russia,
where it is spoken of as an application
in the economic domain of the principles
of The Hague Conference.
News of the proposal comes by way
of London, where it is said note con-
tanning it was presented to the British
government by the Russian Ambassa-
dor In this note it was suggested that
the powers that signed the Brussels
Sugar Convention should consider in
common, means to protect international
commerce against the artificial de-
preston of prices, not only by govern
ment measures. such as export bounties
or the control of dangerous processes
adopted by trusts private undertakings
or cartels, which tend artihcially to
influence the international markets.
What the prospects are of such a
conference being called does not APP
pear. The proposal is significant of the
| impression which the trust as an eco
nomic phenomenon has produced upon
the imagination of men.
! However if the conference follows the
usual rule of conferences it will result
| in very little good. The Hague Peace
conference was followed by the Spanish
war and the Boer war, with fighting in
the Philippines after the Spaniards
withdrew, and a revolution or two in
South America. The Brussels beet
sugar conference has been followed by
larger output of beet sugar to the ut
ter decentralization of the sugar market
A trust conference would likely multi
/ ply the trusts.

Honolulu has been deprived of good
theatrical amusement for so long, that
it will welcome the Frawley-Neal COM
The Opera House on the night that they
play. 1t will be like a fountain of wa

later on in the year. but this one night
win be especially enjoyable.

1t is most satisfactory thing to note
the success of the five High School pu-
pills in an open competition for entrance
into any university upon the mainland
The scheme is entirely new having been
first introduced in 1901, therefore the
Honolulu High School had the honor OF
competing in the second of these trials
The idea is an excellent one as it en-
ables pupils to prepare themselves in d
Territory or in a State in the local
schools, and then be sure that they have
passed their entrance examinations be-
fore they undertake a long and an eX-
pensve journey, only to find at the end
of it that they are insufTiciently equip
ped. II is a solution of a difficulty
which has been patent to educators for
a long time, but which has never been
overcome before.
But it is not the excellence ~and con-
venience of the examination plan under
the direction of the college entrance
examination board that should be con-
sidered. Two matters at least should
arrest our attention, They are the cap-
abilities Of the pupils and the ability OF
the teachers.
1t is a very customary thing for peoI
pie to say that the mental and physl-
cal qualities degenerate in the tropics.
This Is certainly untrue of these islands
and we have an instance among these
candidates of the High School. 1t is a
fact to be noted that a very high per-
centage of those who have been born
and brought up here are remarkably
successful when they enter college. Not
only have they graduated with honors,
but they have also shone as athletes,
as organizers in college sports and col
lege politics. have Joined and been well
coined into the most exclusive college
societies and fraternities and have in
many cases made a mark which is not
soon forgotten, even in the shifting and
Kaleidoscope life of the university and
have ever borne themselves as gentle
men and men of honor.
A young man or q young woman
brought up here does not degenerate.
The mental powers are vigorous and
clear and if they are properly cultivated
the results viii equal the best results
upon the mainland. 1t may be that
mental capacity does become contract
ed in some parts of the tropics, but 1t
certainly is not The. case here 1t would
be invidious to make mention of our
successful young men and young wo-
men, because one would be sure, writing

TODAY'S PRIMARIES.

This afternoon and evening the Re
publican voters take practically their
Initial step in the campaign, which Wiz
Barry them to honorable victory. A
Week ago there We're nominations
made, and today it will be settled what
nominees shall represent the precincts
at the Territorial Convention and in
District Committee. No one can over
estimate the Importance of these posi-
aions in the coming campaign. Upon
the unity of the delegates will depend
he success Of the party
1t is encouraging to see how great
m interest is being expressed in ~hese
primaries. Two years ago there was
actual apathy among the voters, and
Some Of the precinct clubs hardly turn-
ed out corporals guard to vote for
their delegates. There will be nothing
Of the kind today. There is the keen
est interest in the result and there Will
he the heaviest of votes lust. This VIII
pa a guide to the strength of the party.
I5 win not give the full strength, be-
cause there are certain voters who Will
not turn out for primary, but it will
furnish a very valuable pointer.
Everything in a party depends upon
organization and harmony. There may
BE disagreement locally, but if a party
is to be successful it must sink local
differences for party success. Personal
yplSplarity does very much, and counts
Shgly in a campaign, but it is organ
-za)n that wins in the end. Hap
haEd politics never win against or
salzed politics. The haphazard men
may have the brightest and finest Of
IDEAS, but they cannot overcome the
united effort of organization.
1t is satisfactory to know that the
Republican party throughout the ISL
ands is wen organized. In spite of eff
forts made to disrupt the Republican
party, it has sailed through shoals and
quicksands, and now enters upon the
broad waters of the political sea, a
Fstaunch vessel, with sails set to the
b breeze of success, and a captain, Off
GERS and crew who can navigate it
safely to the desired harbor.
Our votes today will tell upon the
personnel of the next legislature, and
will decide what its complexion will be,
whether worthy of the great party to
which we are affiliated, or whether I'M
worthy. They win decide upon the
men who are to nominate our Delegate,
q more important post than any in the
Territory, upon whom depends much
Of our success in the next Congress.
We have to pat up with the present
incubus for the balance of his term,
but let US have light and aid during
the next Congress.
Having entrusted these grave ques-
tons to the representatives of our
Primary Clubs, it viii be our duty to
Loyalty support them. The future looks
bright, may the realization prove the
truth of the present representations

1t is satisfactory to learn that the
water supply of the city holds out so
well. During previous years the water
supply has been in poor condition by
the month of August, and everyone has
begun to pray for the rains of autumn.
There are two causes for the present
satisfactory condition. First the in
creased supply obtained through the
pumping plants advocated by the Su-
perintendent of Water Works, and sec
ond the extremely favorable season.

MIR. Wikie said that if the Prince
should again visit the United States he
would do so incognito.
Speaking OF the Princes safety while

Chief Wilkie and that was the noisy
