W. N. ARMSTRONG EDITOR. WEDNESDAY APRIL 0 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. STORES TO LET.

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. Sarsaparilla Is the r.est in fact the One True Blood Purifier. $1; six for $5. C. I.
