TJIE WAIL )!' A HAWAIIAN.
The remarkable and pathetic letter
of a native woman, which appears in
another column, is worthy of a most
serious reply. It is a clear and singularly-comprehensive
Humming up of the
situation, from the native standpoint.
She challenge.. Christian civilization to
justify itself in its dealings with the
natives. Can it do so?
The author is, however, not correct
in all of her statements of facts. It is
not the descendants of the missionary
teachers that have driven the natives
to the wall, as she believes. It is a
condition of things; the geographical
situation, the reciprocity treaty, the
terrible thirst for gold in Christian
countries, the willingness of the na
tives to part with their homesteads,
their own thriftlessness, the peaceful
but relentless racial conflict, that crea
tes the painful situation of the author
of this letter, and of her associates.
She must remember that millions of
women in Christian England and Am
erican are, from the cradle to the grave,
confronted with worse conditions. The
distress of innocent women and chil
dren, pitiable and unchangeable, in the
great cities, has not been relieved, to
any large extent as yet, by the power of
the Gospel of Christ. The Hawaiians,
in a much less degree, have their share
of it. Thousands of American seam-
isvrtjsaea, euucaieu lj nave; am.s,
would regard the condition of the in
telligent author of this letter as almost
a tropical dream, in comparison with
their own miserable surroundings. The
author, let us admit, justly complains
of the competition of the foreign wo
men. So too, the sewing girls of the
Atlantic cities of America, and the sew
ing girls of London complain of the
killing competition of the Russian
Jews. The native women are not
alone.
There are thousands who are willing
enough to preach the Gospel to the
negro and teach him in the Sunday
school. How many are there, besides
j Booker Washington, who have under
taken the infiniily harder task of laying
a basis for a decent religious life, by
i creating industries for them, that
'will supply the "wants" created by edu
cation? In this is the need of the mo
dern "missionary" here. Christian civ
ilization bucks at it, just as a horse
bucks at a seven foot fence. Earnest
men, and especially women .here wish
to discharge their whole duty to the na
tives. But duty today rises above that
of mere religious duty. It involves
that of creating material prosperty.
The Lord, in the Old Testament put an
increase in flocks and herds along side
of an increase in righteousness.
There can be no better illustration of
the progress of education, and the crea
tion of "wants," than tb' letter of a na
tive or part-native woman which we
publish in another colmun. As a merely
literary production, we suspect that few
of the white residents could improve
upon it. A woman who can write such
a letter is entitled to better wages than
that of a seamstress.
Christian civilization may have done
a great wrong in educating people to
have "wants," without educating them
how to supply theso "wants." Some of
the most serious thinkers today now
justly complain of the error, if not the
crime of educating the head in advance
of the hand. Surely enough, there are
millions of people in the free and "hap
py" land of America, who are despond
cnt and miserable because they cannot
supply their wants, under the same
conditions which would make r Euro
peans "wild with jo3" We have on
these Islands Americans who are mis
erable, because they cannot supply
their "wants."
The early teachers of the natives
"acted according to their best light," and
if the natives only knew it, rendered
to them an inestimable service in es
tablishing law and order, and social
justice. They had no despotic power tb
keep off the white devils, as the British
Government does today in the Fiji
Islands, so that no white man, or Asia
tic can compete in many ways with the
natives, unless with the consent of the
enlightened Imperial power in London.
Nor would our natives have permitted
them to usurp the power to do so. The
matives, unfortunately perhaps, must
take their chances with the rest of
mankind.
No doubt Christian civilization owes
a duty to them. It has not yet
discharged all of that duty. It is a
farce indeed to educate these Hawaiian
girls to the need and appreciation of
better homes, of better living, and then
when they are ready for them, find
them no ways of meeting the new
needs. This is immeasurably the hard
est task, and it has not been fulfilled,
because it means a broader insight into
the relations of religion, education, and
"wants."
One Hawaiian born became the apos
tie of the highest duty of Christian civ
ilization to the American negro, and
persistently taught that the education
of the head and hand must go together.
Several weeks ago his desciple Booker
T. Washington, said in one. of the great
halls of New York City: "There should
bo a more vital and practical connec
tion between the negro's educated
brain, and his opportunity for earning
his daily living." "We need the new
baptism of the race into the best me
thods of agricultural, mechanical and
commercial life." The negro looks at
his barren soil, and his little hovel, and
says: "I can earn nothing." Booker
Washington takes him in hand and re
plies: "I will educate you so that your
little patch will blossom like the rose."
He has already shown that it can be
done. The negro girl is taught to sup
ply her wants, by the cultivation of
flowers. She is carefully and persis
tently taught that a fat chicken is
worth a dollar in the Northern market,

Now Enjoying tho Best of Keatthj
With Digestion Perfect.
"My mother was subject to sick head
aches and indigestion for over a year.
She was unable to stand for any length
of time, and was obliged to stay in e dark
room as she could not benr the light. She
had no appetite whatever and herstornach
was so weak she could :aot retain what
food she did eat. She also had severe
pains in her head. She suffered so much
that she became but the shadow of her
Belf. One day I happened to read a tes
timonial about Hood's Sarsaparilla. It
Sounded So Truthful
I persuaded her to try this medicine.
Before finishing the first bottle there was
an improvement in her condition. She no
longer threw up her food and her head
ache was not as severe. She took in ail
four bottles of Hood's Sarsaparilla and
several boxes of Hood's Pills and regained
her weight. She is now enjoying the best
of health. Her digestion is good and she
can eat almost anything she wishes. She
is 42 years old and says she feels as well
as when she was 16. Hood's Sarsaparilla
made a complete cure in her case."

VICTOR
SAFES.
WERE invented, patented and put
onto the market to supply an urgent
demand for a well built, and at the
same time, medium priced safe.

The manufacturers of this safe have
made a careful study of the require
ments of the different safes and classes
and as a result the VICTOR SAFE has
supplied the vacancy.
v & v
Aside from the regular six sizes we
carry in stock, we can order any style
of safe required and have it divided to
suit the purchaser.

In our office we are using one of the
regular make, and for convenience it
cannot be touched by any safe we have
ever seen.
&
All VICTOR SAFES are made of the
best materials known to tbe trade and
only skilled workmen are employed.

Every part is made by the VICTOR
SAFE & LOCK CO., from the raw ma
terial and are thoroughly tested before
and after construction.

One of the best recommendations for
hese safes is that other safe com
panies often use the VICTOR SAFE aa
a criterion as being not only burglar,
but fire-proof.
