S It is now claimed that the next legislature can only appoint a
commission to prepare a system of municipal county government
to be adopted two years from now, or at some other time in the
din: future. If the piopor committee on counties and county
government be appointed, a bill effecting that purpose and divid
ing the Territory ir.t: counties following our present Judicial Dis
tricts, or a batter divison. if possible, can easily bo prepared
during the term of the m;xt legislature, and made operative im
uuiately afterwards. Where there is a will there is always away,
and if the county government bill is not passed at the next term
of the legislature, and made operative immediately afterwards, it
will simply bo because somebody dont want it done.

f If the approaching legislature wishes to make a record which
will vdace the Territory of Hawaii among the van of progressive
f..fn ntirl tm-vitm-ios. it will at one fell blow abolish the false
system of education now prevalent on the Island, a system
which educates young Hawaiian to become helpless and use
less, and establish in its place both primary and grammar
schools where trades and industrial training are made tho princi
pal feature with ine'dentai instruction in the elementary branches
now taught. There is not an intelligent man on the Islands, who
really has the good of the Hawaiian children at heart, who would
not rather see thorn instructed in useful and practical branches of
knowledge than in puerile ologies.
The reason why there are not a dozen thriving business houses
in Waiiuku toe ay, handling goods which cannot bo purchased on
Maui, is because of tho difficulty of shipping goods direct to Kahu
iui, and tho practically prohibitive rates of charges for lighter-jgt
and freight on gv.ods from ships in the harbor to stores in Waiiuku.
A private corporation owr s Kahului and its wharves, and operates
them, as they have an undoubted right to do, as a private
corporation. True, the government owns from the high water
mark, but till the government builds a wharf at Kahului. and the
people open a public road to this wharf, general trade and business
will have tin uphill road to travel in ailuku.
o
H? The work of tho Republican Convention next week will be a
waited with more than ordinary interest, not only by republicans,
but also bv the people generally. And the most serious interest
centers about the plank relative to tho matter of framing a muni
cipal government for the different counties. to be established. To
omit such a plank, or to defer its operation to some indefinite
period, will parnlyze the t6ngues of republican s,poll binders when
thev come before the people and try to explain why they have
thus delayed ary chance for an early statehood.
Mrs. Thomas Brown, mother of
Cecil. Frank uml Godfrey Brown,
died in Honolulu on Sunday last.
O. Tillander, first mateof tho James
Makce died at the Queen's Hospital,
Honolulu, last Sunday after a few
hours illness.
Mullet will soon bo a thing of the
past in Hilo harbor, on account ot
the use of close meshed nets. The
legislature should correct this.
jlH If, as now seems likely, the democrats and independents of
Maui effect a fusion, the result will bo to so evenly divide the two
surviving parties as to put both on their metal in the matter of
nominating candidates to the legislature, and the result will pro
bably be that the best men on the Island will be selected as can
didates. May tlQ fittest survive.

Is it not about tiuio for the ladies of Waiiuku to try to intro

Waiiuku together in pleasant social intercourse? ' If tho conven

g ThQbcst answer to the chfeiga of imperialism urged by the
democratic standard Taearor is that the voice of the United States
should be heard and heqded in the matter of settling the Chinese
imbroglio. It would be both wrong and cowardly in America to
withdraw frtyn active interference in the settlement of the Chinese
question.

It hits oil' the American character

There was once a little boy and
lus name was Freddie. He did much
for tho entertainment of the neisrh
borhood by fishing in other people's
private ponds and picking other
people's fruits. When ho was scolded
for it, he would proudiv sav: "1 am
a free citizen of a free country.
The neighbors wanted his father to
whip him, but t'.io father said he
would not thus deg'-ade the future
president of the United Stales. Such
thing could bo done oniv in enslaved
Europe. And Freddie grew and

boys who were weaker than himself.
beat tlieni, and took away their pen
nies in the name of civilization and
humanity. For in Freddie's veins
ran strong und pure the undiluted
blood of the noble Anglo-Saxon
One day Freddie's father was told
that Ids .son had swindled a friend
of the familv with a boirus dollar
and had irotton 85 cents chaiiL'c.
And the father was deeply moved
and said: "I always knew Frcc'd'o
would some day be a great man
Then ho turned Freddie's nockets
inside out and transferred the 8.')
cents to his own. After that Fred
die was placed with a wise merchant
who taught mm that two and two
make five. Freddie was wiser than
ho and learr.ed how to make two and
two equal to nine. Then his boss
made him a partner. And Freddie
was worthy of the trust. He man
aged to get hold of all the shares
and to give his old boss the bounce.
late And all the people were loud in thei
the praises of Freddie.
Then Freddie bought sugar and
sold it at a quarter of its value un
til he had ruined all competition
when he made good his losses tenfold
by raising the price . enormously
And all the people praised Freddie.
Freddie built a railroad to ruin
the road which ran through his
city, and ho succeeded and made
the public pay. He oiled the ma
chinery of Congress and worked it
so that tariffs excluded everything
he wished to sell dear, and there
was no competition. And the peo
ple still more praised Freddie.' All
