The students of that school not only set

for it. David Malo wrote May 22, 1534,
sixty one years ago, a most Striking
production in Hawaiian verse in memory of the honored Regent, Queen Kaahmnanu, who died, beloved by all the
good of Hawaii, in June 183 J.
This poem—and poem is a tame

the highest degree poetic, and revealing

human soul that grew to meditate, antl
feel and imagine so much in the pagan
solitudes of Hawaii, before we brought
any of our vaunted civilization and light
to these islands. The transition from
the pagan opening to the Christian
closing of this poem is very striking.
I do not pretend to be able to really
translate this production. No true
poetry can be translated. The flavor,
the aroma of it is gone when it steps
from its original to a language foreign
to the life that called it into being.

after death.
Translated by Curtis J. Lyons.
Ceasing from storm, the sea grows
calm and glassy. Like a puff of wind
flitting over it, so her spirit glides away
to the far regions beyond Kahiki. (The
word for far away shores.) She flies;
averting her eyes, she fades away in the
wild mists of the north-land, the deep,
dark, mysterious north.
She has gone from us, to the courts
of Kane, treading royally the redstreaked path of the rosy dawn; the
misty, broken road to Kanaloa.
An ebbing tide flows out, laden with
departing wealth. The chief is turning
away, sinking to sleep, drifting away.
She fled at the first gleam of the dawn,
at the faint ending of the cut-off night.
Then was her departure.
Oh our beloved one our departed
one ! our bemoaned one !
The heart beats tumultously; it
throbs within us; it strains us; it breaks
the walls around it.
Oh the pain, the breaking up, the
rushing of tears, the falling of the flowers scattered of grief.
We are borne away, carried away,
the very depths of us are torn from us
by this passionate grief.

Japanese Report.

hoard of missions
Froebel holds that every age has a
completeness of its own and that no age
can be perfected without each preceding stage of development having been
completed. Whether all the Japanese
contributors fully comprehend this or
not, they certainly have shown their ap
preeiation of their kindergartner's ser
vices by giving her thirteen instead of
twelve months' salary this year, and byproviding her an assistant. They appreciate the influence of kindergarten.
In the short vacation one mother but
spoke for others when she anxiously
asked when the kindergarten would begin again. Our assistant brings her
child with others daily way from Ewa.
Several parents begged to have their
children stay thr ugh the year, although
properly they should have left by January. On the other hand, just as the
children have grown helplul, the parents, like the Arabs, " steal silently
away," and, lo ! we suddenly find our
selves minus our little helpers ; but no
doubt some seed goes with them.
Some of the children are very interNew

One promptly made little horns
for the new moon. Another day, one
of the committee was in and made use
of her diamond ring to illustrate the
"diamond in the sky," whereupon a
little fellow, pointing to the jet in her
bonnet asked if that was a diamond too.
Miss Gulick and Miss O/awa have a
class of from twelve to eighteen kindergarten children Sundays.
Mis. Sasakura began a kindergarten
at Papaikou last year, but was obliged
to discontinue on account of close
quarters and ill heaKh. Manager Goodale has now promised a house for the
mission. As for results, Mrs. Sasakura
writes: "Some of the mothers say.
My children seem to play kindergarten.
They remember the names of colors.
They can count from one to ten easily,
and can build houses, gates, tables,etc
very handsomely.' And now the teach
er is well and willing to work for them."
At Kula also there are children enough
for a kindergarten, only no means.
Oh, if the rich might make such sac
nfices as do the poor, then there might
"
'
be a kindergarten wherever one is needed. General Armstrong said that the
greatest blessings came to his work
through the offerings of the poor. A

Empress of Japan, too, is a shining

the tale of thought and care for others."
Shall we, in Hawaii, do less ? It would
be but to obey the " call of the Cross,"
and then our land might indeed be a
world's model, blooming with childcultivating children, the
gardens

but the parents of the nation.
"A little child shall lead them." The
work for the little ones at' Emma Hall
has certainly led the janitor to contribute generously, and has also no doubt
been a means of bringing him into the
church. Both church and school are in
excellent condition, the former having a
membership of eighty six (fifty-nine received this year) and the latter sixty-six.
Mr. Sugiyama, of Hilo, writes of
being discouraged because so many of
the older church members have moved
away. " But," he says, " the prospect
is not dark, and we trust God Himself
will lead us in a right way. The Sunday school is a great attraction to young
men who like to learn English, and
through this instrumentality many are

Our young friend Arthur, son of our

of Assistant Professor of Physics in
California University. He has been
for some years an instructor in the

Chinese Mission Schools.
The closing exercises of these schools
took place July ">th at the Chinese Y. M.
C. A., which was prettily decorated in
Chinese style. On the program were
26 literary and musical numbers, which
showed good work on the part of the
teachers. Miss Stetson's work in the
Chinese Hote'-Street Kindergarti n gained great credit. Mrs. McCully Higgins
pledged herself on the spot for its support another year. This is a separate

No Electric Railway Franchise.
The Legislature has refused to grant
the franchise for an electric railway in
Honolulu, which was desired by a Y'ancouver company. A leading objection
was unwillingness to crowd certain narrow, but important streets, with the trolley poles and rails, as would be necessary on account of all the leading streets
being already exclusively granted to the
old tramway company. It is felt that
there must be but one tramway system,
and that under the control of the Government. The whole subject is put into
the hands of a committee to report at
the regular session next February. This
seems wise.

RECORD OF EVENTS.
On the 2d, a very agreeable excursion
was taken by seventeen gentlemen, rep
resenting as many differeent journals of
Honolulu, issued in five languages.
Among them were H. M. YVhitney,
Bishop YVillis and the editor of The
Friend. The run of thirty-three miles
was made in l**o minutes, and over two
hofirs were spent at YY'aianae plantation,
where Manager Ahrens hospitably trundled us around his fields for over ten
miles on cane cars, visiting the pumping
works, where 2,260,004) gallons of water
are daily discharged from six artesian
wells to water 400 acres of sugar cane.
Before returning to town a choice
lunch was served in the parlor car, and
resolutions were adopted, thanking the

Rev. 0. /'. Emerson, - - Editor.
Rev. O. H. Gulick and wife will go to
Hilo to spend six weeks there.
Rev. (). P. Emerson has leave of absence for a few weeks, and has gone to
the Coast for a change.
Plans are under consideration to begin and maintain preaching services at
Pearl City and Ewa Plantation.
Rev. C. M. Hyde expects to spend
a
large part of the month of
August on Mulokai, pari of the time at
the Leper Settlement.
Rev. A. Y. Soares, of the Portuguese
Mission, is planning to spend the early
part of August in Kona. We hope that
he will find Opportunities of service for
the Master in that pleasant district, tilling up so rapidly with new settlers, at
traded by the possible piolita'hlencss of
coffee culture in that region.
Rev. Jim Okabe has gone to Chicago
to spend a year in the Study of applied
Christianity. There is no better location
for such investigation than the Lake
City with its mixed population, varying
social conditions, and earnest Christian
workers.
Unfettered by the traditions
of the pasl. new conditions call for newmethods. The Great truths of the Gospel are still the eternal principles ol
social as ol individual regeneration, but
the forms ol application vary with every
new generation.
Wilcox ll,ill, built at the expense of
Hon. ('.. N. Wilcox for tin V, M. C. A.
at the Leper Settlement, was dedicated
Jul)- 18th with appropriate services. It
is proposed to use this large and com
modions building. I'm such educational
as well as religious work, as may properly be earned on by the Y. M. C. A.
The title ol the building is vested in the
Hawaiian Hoard. Three trustees, lesi
dent at Kalaupapa, have been appointed
as a local board of control.
Rev. Douglas P. I'irnie, Pastor of the
Central Union Church, has gone to
Maui for his vacation.
The pulpit has
been supplied by Rev. Kenneth Duncan,
whose sermons have been greatly appreciated by the summer congregations.
While many ot the membership of the
Church have left the city for various
country retreats dining the hot season,
the man)' tourists who have taken this
time to .visit the Hawaiian Islands, add
perceptibly to the congregation. We
hope that all of our Christian people,
who have an opportunity while away
from Honolulu to come into friendly
relations with those living in the outer
districts, will take the cpportunity to
render such helpful Christian service as
is possible in their new surrounding.
Especially would we ask for our Ha-
waiian pastors, sorely tried and poorly
supported, such sympathy and co-operation as may he practicable and advisable.
The treasury of the Board, which
was worse than empty at the close ot
the year, has not long been left in such
a deplorable condition.
One of the
Hoard's old friends and helpers has
come once more to its assistance with a
generous donation, which for the time
being will enable the Treasurer to meet
some of the most pressing obligations.
The question of duty in this matter of
stewardship of the Lord's money, is one
of increasing urgency. The increasing
success of Christian work necessitates
increasing expenditures. As the world
gets better, the Church gets a brighter
outlook, and wider scope for its energies.
There are now fourteen different depart
ments of the work of the American
Hoard. The work of the Hawaiian
Hoard has widened out, and it needs for
its proper development a larger constituency to contribute to its support,
and take a personal interest in the administration of its affairs. The city of
Honolulu has had a steady, wholesome
growth in population and resources. We
bespeak for the Hawaiian Board its
share in the sympathies and co operation of our growing community.
The American Hoard has been asked
by its missionaries in Japan to send a
deputation to that mission field to study
the situation on the spot. The chief
matter of difficulty is the method and
measure of cooperation between the
Japanese Churches and the American
missionaries. Some lessons of piactical value might be learned if the depu
tation would spend a little time at the
Islands on their way to Japan. Nothing
definite as yet has reached Honolulu in
regard to the plans of the deputation.
It will consist of Rev. J. L. Barton, D.
D., one of the Secretaries; Mr. W. P.
Ellison, of the Prudential Committee,
Chairman of the Sub-Committee on the
Morning Star; Rev. A. H. Bradford, D.
D., of Mountclair, N. J., and Rev. J. G.
Johson, D. I)., Pastor of the New lingland Church, Chicago. The deputation
is expected to leave Boston early in
September.
A letter from S. P. Kaaia, Tapiteuea,
Gilbert Islands, reports his work in the
southern part of that island as making
progress. Light day schools are maintained, an important work that is urged
upon the people by the British Commissioner. Courts have been established ;
judges, sheriffsand policemen appointed.
The Catholic priests are busy telling the
people that Calvinism is an evil and a
fraud, no way to heaven, Bingham's
translation is not trustworthy and incorrect. They take away the Bibles that
have been distributed, telling the people
that they will have a correct one byeand-bye. They promise the people that

if -they make their home on the Islands,

families of the Hawaiian missionaries
were in good health at the date of the
letter, April Hth.
Dr. Abbott Rebukes T. G. Shearman.
In the Outlook of June 15th, the Rev.
Ur. Lyman Abbott pronounces a very
calm and judicial condemnation of Mr.
T. G. Shearman's violent attack on the
Republic of Hawaii, contained in his recent pamphlet entitled, "The Hawaiian
Despotism." Dr. Abbott shows an intimate acquaintance with his subject.
We append a part of his remarks.
" The present republic is not founded
upon universal suffrage ; those who
think suffrage a natural right will think
it founded on injustice; but Mr. Shearman does not accurately represent the
Constitution. Voting for Representatives is not conditioned on property
qualifications; and ability to earn $600 a
year, which is required from voters for
Senators, will not strike those who believe in property qualifications at all as
extravagantly high." *
*
"The fatal defect in Mr. .Shearman's
monograph is his failure to take account
of the most significant fact in the recent
history of Hawaii, namely, that the
Cjueen announced her purpose by a coup
d'etat to set aside the Constitution she
had sworn to support, and to substitute
therefor, by her own will, a Constitution
which would leave the liberties and
properties, if not the lives, of her subjects practically under her despotic will.
It certainly did nothing to make this
COUp d'etat less odious that it was partly
in the interest of, and for its success
ceitainlv dependent upon, an opium
and a lottery ring. If the American
subjects of her Majesty had submitted
to this royally planned revolution, they
would have proved themselves unworthy
to be the descendants of Cromwell and
Hampden and Washington and Hancock. They met it, as they ought to
have done, by a counter-revolution, and
she paid the penalty of her unsuccessful
attempt by being dethroned. Not only
the authority but the responsibility for
establishing a government which would
secure order, peace, and protection, devolved by this revolution upon the revolutionists, and they rightly assumed
that responsibility. It would have been
foolish for them either directly or indirectly to have given back the scepter
into the hands of the Cjueen from whom
they had taken it. In our judgment,
Mr. Shearman's statesmanship would
have done exactly this. The revolutionists were bound to maintain inviolate
the rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; and if passing authority out of its hands into the hands of a
population unfitted to exercise final control would hazard those rights, the revo-

A great function of a railway is to
open to development the country
through which it passes. This it does,
first, by affording easy transportation of
products to a market; and secondly, by
opening to public observation the possibilities of sections hitherto concealed
from notice. This is the case with the
Waianae district of some sixty square
miles. Now for the first time, by the
extension of the Oahu railway for filteen miles, are the people of Honolulu
finding out what valuable but undeveloped hinds lie on the further side of
that long mountain ridge beyond Fwa.
A ride of thirty-five minutes from Kwa
Mill now carries one beyond the center
of that district to the very successful
Waianae Plantation of about WW acres
of cane.
This plantation occupies the land at
the mouths of the Waianae and Makaha
valleys, which together constitute about
one-third of the entire district, and
which have their capabilities developed perhaps nearly to the limit they
are likely to reach in any near future.
But one cannot help observing the immense tract on this side called Lualua

must be 50(10 acres ol what would be

water could be found for irrigating it.
Aside from rather dry pasturage, its
only present product of value appears
to be algaroba wood, of which an extensive forest is growing for six miles
along the shore. Apparently there is
room for 300,000 first cUss cocoanut
