High SCHOOL CLASS
DOES ITSELF CREDIT

The commencement exercises of the
Honolulu High School were held last
night at the Knights of Pythias hall,
which was fittingly decorated for the
occasion. The attendance was large
and those who attended greatly en-
joyed the program, which was con-
Quoted without hitch.
The address by Judge S. d. Dole
was especially instructive. Miss
Marguerite Creighton, the valedicto-
rian, carried her part well and was
the recipient of many congratula-
lions. One Of the most interesting
parts of the program was the read
ing of an essay on What the Pan
anna Canal VIII Do for Honolulu"
by Samuel Wilder Wight. 1t con-

If the pledge is carried out it will
mean that we shall have forty battle
ships ready for service by the time
the Panama Canal is completed. ard
that this number will be steadily
maintained thereafter. This entire
force will be available for service at
three weeks notice in either ocean.
This means a great Navy for a
great country. More important than
this, it means National ability to pro-
tect our interests, SO that second-class
Powers shall not be considered dan
gerous.

OUR NEW NAVAL POLICY.

In the general excitement of the
contest for four battleships made dur
ing the last session of Congress, many
of our people lost sight of the fact
that. although the President was APP
parently defeated, the country has es-
tabiished greater-navy policy not
likely to be overthrow. though the
personnel and the politics of the Fed
eral Administration change.
The President. representing the ex-
ecutive administration, did not get
the four battleships but he secured
immediate appropriation Cor two of
the most modern type. This is gain
over former years when the warships
have been authorized at one session
and the appropriation made during
the next.
The total appropriation Of s123,-
/ 1869. for the navy is nearly five-
sixths the cost of the British navy.
almost twice the cost of any othei
navy in the world hitherto, and fifty
per cent. more than any navy is ex-
pected to cost next year.
This, however, was not the 1imi,
of the victory for navy appropriate
TO the size and Importance of the
country. Before the vote was taken
the Senate leaders practically pledged
themselves to a permanent program
of two battleships a year. 1t is the
first time that anything like sys-
tematic policy has ever been adopted.

Secretary Garfield has furnished a
very excellent response to the crowd
that is doing its utmost to discredit
the campaign for European labor:
I'VE want constructive criticism, not
destructive" Calling the European
immigrants names doesn't fit the con-

of the proceedings.

A UNITED FAMILY.

An old couple in Glasgow were in a
very deprest state owing to dull trade.
Thinking their son in America would
help them, they wrote, stating their
trouble, and that II he did not help
them they would have to go to the
poor-house.
Three weeks passed, and then came
a letter from their son, saying.

FALLACIEs ABOUT MARS.

Professor Simon Newcomb, whose
deliverances concerning astronomy are
entitled to consideration enjoyed by
perhaps no other living astronomer,
contributes to the current Harper's
Weekly an exceedingly interesting ar
ticle entitled, "Fallacies About Mars. .
He considers illuminatingly the theo-
ries pro and con concerning the possi-
bility of life on that h-discussed
planet, and presents these conclusions:
"As between Mars and Venus, the
latter is probably better adapted to
life than the former, always suppos-
ing that other conditions than those
OF temperature are fulfilled. 1t is quite
likely that planet revolving midway
between the orbits of the earth and
Venus would be better adapted than
our earth is to be development of the
higher forms of life. On the whole, it
seems from all the data we can gather
from science that Mars is no better
adapted to life than the region around
the north pole Of our earth or the tons
OF the highest mountains" Finally.
he expresses the belief that, so far as
we can infer from all the facts and
principles of science, "the condition
on Mars seems to be unfavorable to
any form of life unless of the very
lowest order"

QUIET FOLLOWS 4 BAO NIGHT
CHESTER STREET CAR COMPANY
SHUTS DOWN.
Awaits Police Protection to Operate
Cars-Mayor Instructs Special
Men to Shoot to Kill.

CHESTER. Pa. May 26.--Absolute quiet
prevailed in the streets of Chester today
following the disorderly scenes OF last
night, when crowds of men and bows
attacked some OF the cars operated by
men who had taken the places of the
striking motormen and conductors Of the
Chester Traction Company.
Fearing further trouble. the company de-
cided not to operate cars until later in
the day or until sufficient police protection
is provided Some Of the cars were DAM
aged and are being repaired in the barns.
The attack on the cars began early las.
night soon after the last troop Of the
state police. which had been on duty here
for weeks. left for their barracks in an
other part of the statet- There were M
disturbances here while the state police
were on the ground. The cars were run
at regular intervals and were not modest :
ed. But they carried very few. passengers.
1t is probable the company will ask for
the return of the police.
About half dozen cars were attacked
last night in different sections OF the city
and several stoned while passing through
nearby towns. Several shots were fired
also. but no one was seriously injured
