An Education Muddle.

It seems finally that the ‘new Board of £dncation is to be organized. Mr. DoIe told the | Conncil yesterday that he bad given great attention to the matter, and he had a string of uames of eventnal members. The amnsing pert of tbe business is ' that Mr. Dole is endeavoring to find represnetatives of diflerent i creeds and nationalities, and seems to be perfectly at sea as i soon as he gets outside the sacred halls of lljeCongregationalchurch and be3 r ond the Americans in town. He has been trying to find a Koman Catholic snited for tbe position and tbat seems to ; have been qnite adifficnlt matter. ; It is highly compIimentary to j tbe Catholic Clergj- to St. Louis j School and to tbe whole Catbolic ’ commnnity th«t they do not i connt among their numbers any | one whose edncation and knowl i edge of edncationaI matters are snch that he or she c«n be eompared to Mr. Hartwell, Mr. i Lowery or Mr‘ Perry or Mrs. ; W. W. Hall, or some other !adies. A fn*.iL»ar o illell Dft desires to have ditferent n.ilionalities represented, but althongh he ean find a Scotchman in Mr. i Kenuedy, he evidently cannot l find a suitable Englishraan. The Germans ought to feel prond indeed when they learn that the : most eapahle raen of nationality ; are all consnls.” The following Germans are Consals and accord- • ing toMr. Dole the only oncefitted to be members of the Board of j E<lucution viz: Messrs Schaefer i Hackfeld, Glade, Schmidt, I R e n j e s and H o t i n g . j It is really deplorable that the services of these men as Superini tendents of our edncational insti- ; tutions are prevented by their . official positions. If only one of them could be indnced to resign as consaI Mr. Dole and the rest of it wonld be happy again. lf a depntation of Germaos went to Mr. Glade, witb an humhle petition, he raight be persnaded to resign his consn)ar pogition whieh he has covered with so maeh j glory aud be wo ild andonbtediy be an ornament of the first water of any Educational board. In the meantime Mr. Dole intends to have the G?rmans represeoted by ! Mr. Hedemanw wbo nndonbtedly • is eminently qaalified—only he isn't a Germun. The Hawaiians •re, o£ course, not representedby anybody of their race—bat then tha Hawaiians are strangers in their own coantry since Mr. Dole took control. Thk Boad Board act vas one o( the first me*snres of the Reform party. Doring tbe last aeeaion the Reform party endorsed the eoniinnanee o( ihe gystem. The P. G. has now done away wiih tbe Road Board for Honlola, becanse the memben—elected by tbe people by an OTerwbalming majority an lejralk*a. Aiy 8ystem whieh

gives any voice to tbe people is i evidently bad in tbe eyes of the P. G. and shon!d be speedi’y | condemned. Aud vet that is * vhat W. G. Smith calls Amer- i icanism. and W. N. Annstrorg Amenean ideas'.! — Tue Adver1i«er in its nsnal I ' hypocritical manner slobbers i over Mr. J. O. Carter, bnt eon- i siders his dismissal from Brewer A Co. very proper and jastifi«ble. 1 If we remeraber rightly the annexation org«tns raised a pit*fnl howl a short while ago when a rumor was started that Mr. T. H. Davis looking after his interest intended to rcmove Mr. Alexan- ( der Yonng from his employ. Bnt what is sauce for Brewers is of conrse not .sanee for Davies.

j The Adrtrliser want to know what Sanmiv Damon means by rubbing the back of the secret League. Is it possib!e that Mr. C»stle hasn’t fonnd ont yet tbat Soapy Sam has a smile for everj'body and all? Me never know j what muy happen, so it is right | to be solid everywhere. | “Mb. Dole wonldn’t accept a j | back-salary even if voted” said 1 soroebody in the Council meet ing. A lawyer refusing mouey? 1 We don’t tbink sucb a species of the legal gems is to be found. i But theu Dole never was mneh of a lawyer. ; i How mneh does tbe conntry s»ve since the forra of governraent was changed? * I SlXCE the latest declaration by the poliiieal bnccaneere, who now hoW futb ut Ilawaii’a Bapitil city, tbat there is to b° a president with a sal.irj’ of $12,000 per i annum, thero has b *en quite an upheaval in looal society as ! I represf nted iu the various eli* i i qoes «hieh arrogate plaee, power aud patrioUsm to iheraselves, | alone, and now strained re!ations exist in a go d many famili*-s, on I r ’ acconnt of the jealonsy with | reg rd to desired social prestige. i Since this aoeial war has been 1 declared, in the inner circlea of » the elite, good reputations war- ; ranted proof pg tinst polit eal ! change have advanced in price. : Hollow-ey*d suspicion now pre- j vents the usual morning gossip | between former neighhors aud r the social aftornoon teas hare , , beeu entirely removed, as now to . 1 eall npon one'a friends aftracts , . | i the attentioo of "bollow-eyos’' and then the tongne of scund-l , “Social gatherings” is now a cnstom most ti>arked in the breach and even the Advtrli*er and Star familiea have av ided Sunday schooI. There is a eomplete split amongst tbe social commnnity most marked, of ! conree, among the l»dies and the end of the war is not yet proPhesied. Mb. F. M. Hatch is nominated bv the execntive for the office of 1 i - • 1 minister of foreign affairs. We hope he will get in so we eao en ■ joy tbe circos whieh will arise when the vacancy in the Oounoil has to be filled. Between Ather3 \ ton, W. O. Smith and D tmon's s | candidate from the Leagne the conteet will be of great and absorbing interest.

Mk. W. O. Sihth says in a to tbe Los A njele* Times, tbat “the Lonl stepped in and helped j the canse.” We wonder if the - Lord was the third party present at the grand inquisition he’d by Smith and Hilehooek over Da < vies. We trnst not because there must bave been blne streaks in the air. What is this we hear. An apolog\' from —But no. we will give Rots a ehanee to scoop ns. or else newine. The bpycotting act established bv Messre Wilder, Eua, Waterbons, Allen, Bolte, King. Damon and Smith, in whieh they have bv their votesin Conncil. placed themselves on record roay prove an unpleasaut remembrance for i them iu the not distunt fnture. The President o£ tbe secret leagne shouid beg, borrow, oi steal a copy of Shakespeare. aud look up King Henry VIII; espeeial attention being paid to Wol sey’s 8oldoqay. Mk. Juliax*Palmek the correspondent of tbe Boston Transcnpt, and who is bere on jonrnalistic business, is being pulled and liau!ed by the anuexationist, and othev revolntionar>' cliqnes, to join their ranks. In upholding the dignity of his journal Mr. Palmer has atterapted to mainlain a neutr:il position and send for«ard nnbiasud and nncolored reports. Those newspaper men who have snmmoned and winteri ed here kuew he would find tlmt I the looal politicians, from the judge to the horse shoer, woukl make his surroundlngs nnpiea sant, if he was bonest, and they hHve. Mr. Pulmer has fouud it 1 necessar\’ to define his honesty, ou paper The Holomua needs I noexplanation, it has a kuowledge ! of the Transcript , its excelleut character, and also of Mr. Palmer.
