President Eliot of Harvard reports
upon the results of our Public Schools
and finds that the scholastic elements
are better in them than in the private
schools, however admirably conducted.
Of students from the Public High
Schools 16 per cent gained honors OF
students from Academic and endowed
schools, only II per cent gained honors.
OF failures 10 per cent were from Pub
lie High Schools, and % per cent were
from the academies and endowed
schools. This speaks highly for the
public high schools, 1t must be noted
that the Honolulu High School examin-
atoms are accepted at the University
entrance examinations, and some of
our youths are at Harvard.

A new provision has been put into the
naturalization treaty with Hayti. This
provision is to the effect that a natu-
rallied citizen who returns to the coun-
try of his nativity, and remains there
continuously for more than two years,
may be regarded as having abandoned
the citizenship he acquired by natural
ization. The clause will go into all flu
ture treaties.

OHIO DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.

The very important Democratic Con-
venton of the State of Ohio was held at
Columbus May -, and resulted in a vic
tory for the conservatives by a vote of
$50 to 3U1. The conservatives stood for
union without regard to any particular
candidate. and the temporary Chairman
sounded the Keynote as follows:

that by the aid of Cleveland. Bryan. Hill,
German. Parker. Hearst, Johnson, Nc

tions Of political belief. financial doctrines

shall cease and that the raScals in high

inert members on the platform. in which
the lie was passed and one ollt-and out

Convention, with Il blazing attack on the
Republicans for their mismanagc cement i'm

CHICAGO will this year try n novel ex-
pertinent with view to diminishing the
terrible mortality consequent upon the eel
ebration of the anniversary of our National
independence. 1t intends that the small
boy shall have just as much fun as he al
ways has had, but in a way they hope
to lessen the attendant casualties, which
last year amounted to 4G7 killed, 407 who
died from !ockjaw following injuries and
1867 more or less hurt The Chicago
Amusement Association has been capital
lied with stock of 81 100000, with the
Mayor of the city at the head. Many
prominent men and women are connected
with the organization. The Mayor. who is
honorary President, is given the power to
sign all checks for more than $500. The
object Of the Association is to inculcate
and increase the spirit Of patriotism, to
entertain and educate the children and
general public of Chicago to dignity all
city and public entertainments, and to end
iniiscriminate begging for public funds.
The stock is divided into s. shares, and
bears no dividends. 1t is desired to inter
est as many prominent people as possible.
A fund of $4,000 is already OH hand for
the coming Independence Day. On the
morning Of the Fourth there will be cele-
bratons in all the parks, Fairgrounds, and
| vacant lots in the city. At each place the
children will be provided with a policeman
to look out for them, fireman, a doctor,
teacher, and one member Of the Illinois
naval reserves in uniform. There will be
plenty of firecrackers ON hand for the little
folks, but the policeman will see that they
use them properly, with safety to them
selves and others. The fireman will keep
out a watchful eye for fires The doctor.
with his bandages and Ointments, will be
ready in case of accident The teacher
will try to direct the fun of the youngsters.
keeping them within the bounds of
good behavior. The naval reserve will
give them instructions in the use of fire
arms No charge will be made for the
firecrackers. In the afternoon there will
be concerts, and in the evening a sham
naval battle on the lake, also an elaborate
display of fireworks at two or more points
Of the city. Altogether it promises to be
a great day for the small and big boy.

FUNSTON AND ROOSEVELT

Envious carping scribblers. Jealous of
the fame which has been attained by some
Of our heroes, and willing to do anything
To diminish it, have been deriding Gen.
Funstons swimming of river i'm the
Philippines and President Roosevelt's par
ticipation at San Juan Hill. Gen. Fun
ston has set his share in the exploit in
very definite shape, which must stop all
further criticism by the following frank,
and clear statement:
"A body of 1900 or more Filipinos
Grande, had been hara ssing the American
forces. On April 2tj. 1899. Gen. Funston,
accompanied by a skirmish party, swan

100 feet wide, which is a tributary to the
Rio Grande. This act has been confused
with and ma gnified into the swimming of
the Rio Grande the following day. April
-, by two soldiers from the Kansas reg-
ment, which preceded the routing of the
1000 Filipinos by 40 American soldiers.
These soldiers carried a line with them.
with which they drew across a hea vier
one. To the latter a raft was fastened and
drawn across. When 45 soldiers and Gen.
Funston had been ferried over, the detac CHI
ment routed the F'ilipinos.'
This does not prevent wild and woolly
poet from dropping into thel following
epic description of the affair:
What does it matter how he crossed?
When he got over dry,
With less than 80 men he made
Four thousand Tagals fy.''
With this, as with Col. Roosevelt's part
in the Cuban war, small details are i'm.
material. Whether Gen. Funston swan
the Bag Bag or the Rio Grande, and
whether Col Roosevelt charged up San
Juan Hill or Kettle Hill, is of little i'm.
portance. Both did most effectively the
duty that presented itself, and victory re.
suited through their prompt, gallant action
in assisting their comrades in other parts
| of the field. Every soldier understands
| this. 1t is only the carpet warriors who
never "set squadron in the field, nor the
division of a battle know more than a
spinster," who get their inconsequential
minds confused with inconsequential de-
tails.
