THE NATIVE GIKLS.
A person familiar with the condition
of the native Hawaiian womn, in re
ply to the complaint of a native woman
that appeared on Tuesday in our
eolmuns, that she and others were suf
fering from foreign competition, states
that the native women have failed to
take advantage of their opportunites in
the matter of domestic service; that
there has always been a willingness to
use them as domestics, but that they
fail to answer the purpose. It is, we
believe, a fact that the 'natives and
part natives, who have considerable
means, do not employ them, but gener
ally prefer the Asiatics as domestics.
If the natives themselves prefer for
eigners to their own race, in this re
spect, it shows the want of confidence
of the natives in their own people.
Even as seamstresses they do not gen
erally give satisfaction, owing to their
rather indolent habits, and -want of
ambition. Of course, there are excep
tions to this general statement, and
the lot of some native, and part na
tive women is a hard one, because they
are -willing and anxious to work.
From a philanthropic standpoint the
case of the native girls is a diflicul
one. Just what to do with them, how to
educate them, how to aid them, with
out making them objects of charity, is
a matter that has for a long time
caused much anxious thought among
their white friends. Even if simple
industries were provided for them,
remains a question whether or not they
would meet the requirements.
The experiment of training them to
carry out some general industry, on a
large scale, has not been tried. Thor
ough training, toot teaching, is requir
ed for such a purpose. Many industries
might be suggested, but there would
"bo no success in it, unless there was a
nersistent training of the pupils for
several years. But would the native
girls engage in it? Are not the socia
conditions here such that they wouh
refuse to follow it hi any considerable
numbers? Would they be steady
workers?
The Question of the education of
these girls is a most perplexing one
One thing is certain, the education of
the head is useless, unless that educa
tiora can command a corresponds
support. The American girl is finding
that sunoort in many ways. Is there
any opening for the native girl?
THE LIGHTHOUSE AGAIN.
THE SAKE QUESTION.
Before Senator Mcuanciiess made a
public charge against Superintendent
Rowell of building an unstable light
house at Diamond Head, he should, as
he had the power to do so, have called
for the data regarding its construction.
and it would have been furnished by
the Interior Department. Upon thi3
data he could have made his criticisms,
and have shown that Mr. Rowell "got
behind the lighthouse," just as the
Senator got behind it, when he furious
ly charged the Government with a
waste of public money, in junketing
trips. He chose, however, to make a
slanderous attack, of the most unjus
tifiable character, upon a public officer
and engineer. Having filled himself
up with a keg full of "high and solemn
duty," 'he doesn't like the Advertiser,
when it also sucks through a straw,
some of the same- "high and solmen
duty," and at once he starts off his lit
tle dog Star to worry and tear an old
pair of trousers thrown into the back
yard by the King's Jester.
There is about as much danger of the
lighthouse toppling over, as there is
that the iron dogs in the Waterhouse
premises on Nuua.nu street will bite
passing travelers. If the Senator must
protect the people against the light
house, he must, for the same reason,
protect the people against those iron
lfrs. Those docs may bite. So may
" " CT
the lighthouse tumble over.
Mathematical calculations show, re
garding the force of the wind pressure
on the lighthouse, 'that it would stand
in a hurricane that would roll the
dwelling house of Charles Peterson,
who keeps the lookout at Diamond
Head, over and over like a band box.
We have again alluded to this sub
ject, because there has been a wanton,
illnatured. and wicked attack upon a
man who has by his economy, ingenui
ty and unappreciated devotion to his
work, saved much money to the State.
Attacks of this kind drive many men,
who would be honest public sen-ants,
to robbing public treasuries, on the
ground that public honesty is more
honored in breach of it, than in the
observance. Such attacks tend to keep
men who respect themselves out of
public offices.
"The free importation of California
wines was a temierance measure," is
said by Senators Holstein and Schmidt,
in their report on the bill to regulate
the sale of liquors. We doubt it. It
was really permitted m order to make
the California wine merchants feel
kindly towards us. If it was a tern
pe ranee measure, n was auoptea in
spite or tne best human experience to
the contrary. No amount of local pro
duction of excellent clarets has made
the American people a wine drinking
people. Cheap as it is, it is not gen
erally used in hotels, boarding houses
or homes. The Americans like beer,
and prefer it. Some of them like
whiskey and will take nothing else.
One may stop at a hundred average
hotels, and the bar rooms will furnish
them only whiskey and beer. Even in
California, the cheap native wines are
not largely used at home, but are exported.
We might as well try to make the
people hero, excepting the Portuguese,
drink muscatel as claret.
WThen our Legislature cut off a cheap
supply of sake to the Japanese, it acted
in a paternal way with a vengeance. It
raised, mot a question of revenue, but
one of forcing national customs, just
as it would have disturbed the com
munity, if it had put an internal rev- ,
enue duty on.milk of a dollar a gallon.
The American Government, in its re
cent search for revenue, dared not raise
the price of beer 1 cent per glass.
The Republican party saw defeat in
it.
The Japanese have no voting pow
er, but it is not safe to try experi
ments with large bodies of men. If
they feel injured, the time comes when
they get their revenge.
The question of revenue is impor
tant, but insignificant in comparison
with that of touching the customs and
prejudices of men.

PURINE THE STUFF.
The People Believe
What They Read About Hood's!
i
Sarsaparilla
Their Faith in This Medicine is
Grounded on Merit
They Know It Absolutely Cures
When Other Medicines Fail
Hood's Sarsaparilla ia not merely a sim
ple preparation of Sarsaparilla, Dock,
Stillingia and a little Iodide of Potassium.
Besides these excellent alteratives, it
a-so contains those great anti-bilious and
liver remedies, Mandrake and Dandelion.
It also contains those great kidney reme
dies, Uva Ursi, Juniper Berries, and
Pipsissewa.
Nor ere these all. Other very valuable
curative agents are harmoniously com
bined in Hood's Sarsaparilla, and it is
carefully prepared under the personal
supervision of a regularly educated phar
macist. Knowing these facts, is the abiding faith
the people have in Hood's Sarsaparilla a
matter of surprise? You can see why
Hood's Sarsaparilla cures, when other
medicines totally, absolutely fail.
"My little girl was afflicted with
eczema and suffered for seven years. She
was attended by physicians and trieu
many different kinds of medicine with
out relief. After taking a few bottles of
Hood's Sarsaparilla she was cured." Mrs.
Emma Fbanklix, Honeoye, New York.
