PROFESSOR GRIFFTTHS CON-
GRADUATES.
Professor A. F. Griff1ths was intro
duced by Professor Horne as the prin-
cipaI of Punahou, Kamehameha's near
est friend and dearest enemy.
Mr., Griffiths said that there was only
one school that he rejoiced in the
growth of more than that of kameha-
meha. He had been asked to, speak on
the advancement of education during
! the past twenty years. an immense
subject of which he would only eonsid-
err three phases. The first of these was.
the growth of the use of the scientific
spirit, scientific investigation having
replaced metaphysical discussion. In
the ordinary high school of the present
day the graduate went out with bet
ter training than the average un1ver-
sity graduate of twenty years ago.
The growth of the moral and reli-
gious spirit was also something of the
past twenty years, the spirit OF the
schools having resulted in higher moral
ideals among the people. It had re-
suited in a broadening in dogmatic
teaching and had made of religion
something of everyday life. The in
crease in practical and unitarian stu
dies had also made great advances in
the past quarter of a century, the
splendid new shops now being dedicat-
ed being worthy example of this.
II was matter of great pride to
Hawaii to know that in these Islands
there had been a manual training
school before one existed in what IS
now the United states mainland, the
I,ahainaIuna seminary having been the
first. from which was sent out Gener-
al Armstrong to found the Hampton
Institute and begin the work of the
regeneration of the southern negro
THE NEW BUILDING.

structure covering nearly half an acre
of ground and which viii have cost

Too Much Haste in the Turret.

The conclusion of the naval board of in
quiry that the turret explosion on the bat
ueship Georgia was caused by a Hare
back of gas from the preceding charge
opens a new line of inquiry. which the
naval authorities will doubtless pursue Wig
crously. 1t is well known that the men
In the turret were trying for a record for
quick and accurate firing and had already
succeeded IN placing a remarkable number
OF shots in the target when the explosion
occurred The possibility of disaster was
therefore high. and there was doubtless
some degree of carelessness In the excite
ment OF the practice. 1t appears that an
automatic air blast is supposed to clear
the gun OF all remnants Of the preceding
shot. and II this blast is shut of too soon.
in the haste of fling, hot gas may be
blown back from the muzzle That this is
what happened is the verdict of the board
and 1t Is now the duty of those in command
to devise some method of preventing SINH
lar catastrophes in the future. The loss OF
life In the Georgia turret was shocking,
but II will have been a shameful waste if
a lesson IS not learned from the horror and
its causes.

Mr.. Foraker on the Tariff.

Senator Foraker is a standpatter. His ar
gument against tariff revision contains all
that the standpatters have to offer. Times
are good. Prices and wages are high. and
everybody is employed. Why disturb such
"a condition of things by overhauling the
tariff Do we not know from experience
what it means to recast the schedules? Let
we'll enough alone. In word. stand pat.
To bear him out in his contention. Mr..
Foraker calls as witnesses the manufac-
turers who are thriving under the present
schedules. They will not dsappoint him.
Naturally they want nothing done. The
present rates suit them. Their ten years of
prosperity under them makes them wish for
ten years more of it, and if they could they
would protract it.
But how about the hosts of consumers
The demand for revision comes from them.
Are they entitled TO no consideration
They approved of the Dingiey law at the
time of its enactment because the business
of the country was at a standst!ll. and the
assurance was that revision of the tariff
on lines of systematic protection would set
wheels to turning again and restore pros
perity, Prosperity came. and six years ago
Mr.. Mckinley saw reason for a revision
of schedules which, adopted at a time of
unparalleled depression. were no longer
suitable in the general interests to time
of unparalleled prosperity AS that pros
perity has continued without interruption
till now. is not the Mckinley proposition
just six years stronger than when first laid
down? II not. why not?
But even Mr.. Foraker changes his key
in this
Let the people speak, and then we can
learn what they want. They will have
chance in 1905. If they want a revision of
the tariff. they can give their comma nds.
and their wish will be obeyed"
The great majority of the revisionists
are asking no more. They are preparing
for just this thing. At the republican ma
tional convention next year they will de-
mand tariff plank which shall deal can
didly with the subject: and on that the par
~ will go before the country. No more
hugger- mugger. No more vague promises
about revising the tariff when the time
comes" The day for that sort of thing
IS past The time has come. and the party
must act,
The Sixty-frst Congress will be called
upon to tackle this question. and We may
all hope to see Mr.. Foraker a member OF
that body. He is able man. and en-
titled to his opinions. and the republican
party. for all Of It's excellent discipline. is
yet party of hospitality for inquiry and

No Telegraphers' Strike.

The whole country will be relieved by
the announcement that the danger of a
general strike of the telegraph operators
Is averted by an agreement just reached
whereby the men will return to work In
San Francisco and the differences as to
wages. and other conditions. will be adj
justed by arbitration. 1t is plain that in
the settlement of the matter on these
terms the influence of Labor Commissioner
Neill was a marked factor. The agreement
between the company and the union fur
thermore contains clause to the effect
that if there is difficulty in naming the
third member of the arbitration board he
shall be chosen by Mr. Neill. This is a
recognition of the non-partisan character
OF the federal officials status which should
deeply impress the labor world and posi-
bly, pave the way to similar adjustments
in local and general industrial difficulties.
A general strike of the telegraphers
would have been no less than a national
calamity. If effective to any practical de-
gree. 1t is, indeed. well nigh inconceivable
that the means of quick communication
should be denied the millions of business
men OF the United States, who rely upon
the wires for the transaction of their af
fairs. So common, indeed, has become the
a necessary element in the adjustment of
the days work. The telephone has. to be
sure, largely supplemented and in some
measure supplanted the telegraph. but it Is
not yet sufficiently cheap to take its place.
One of the most serious dangers of the
strike menace in this case was the POSSIBLE
ity of a spread of the strike to include the
railway telegraphers, in which case the
transportation business would have been
crippled.
The country always breathes more freely
when of these crises passes. Each
peaceful adjustment encourages it to hope
for the coming of general arbitration in
the labor world. That the community at
large would gain enormously by such a
system is plain. Workingmen would save
the wages lost during strikes and the sums
paid out to maintain other strikers, en-
ployers would save the expenses of strike
breaking and be spared the losses inciden-
tai to the stoppage of business. the public
would be saved the additional cost of liv-
ing which results directly and indirectly
from these occasional breaks in the course
of production. construction and manu-
facture The annual strike bill in the
United States is vast sum, useless waste
of money.

The Handbook Game.

For the benefit of the uninitiated-and 1t
Is TO be hoped that there many such in
Washington-a brief explanation of what
handbook is may be offered. The law
PROHIBITS gambling in the District in any
form. II specifically prohibits the Inainte-
name OF poolrooms where bets on horse
races are taken and payments are made to
the occasional winners. The poolrooIns
have been closed as result of d crusade
by the police. conducted some years ago.
Similarly. efforts to establish poolrooms
just across the boundary IN Maryland and
virginia have been thwarted, until there
remain no opportunities for the patrons of
the horse-race gamble to wager their money
outside of the work OF the pertpatetic re-
ce:rer OF wagers. who IS styled a handbook
man. This man establishes a circle of bet
tors who know where to find him or whom
he visits daily. taking their money to be
laid on certain horses at the prevailing
track odds
This scheme Is as much a violation Of the
law as the maintenance of a pooroom or
any other gaming table" The fact that
1t Is unlawful IS thoroughly understood both
by the makers OF these books and by their
patrons. Secrecy Is necessary for the con-
duct OF the business as long as the police
are active In their enforcement of the law.
