In no country in the world is 1t more neces-
sary or desirable to cultivate a feeling OF cOsmop-
olite fellowship than in these islands. Made up,
as is the foreign population. of representatives Of
60 many different and differing nationalities, but
circumscribed to narrow limits, brought into
daily intimate relations, and possessing an iden-
tfty Of public interests, it must surely be con-
summate folly, if not criminality, in any one TO
cherish or cultivate national antipathies, or 20
endeavor TO draw party lines founded upon a
state Of things which exists, or once existed, on
the other side of the globe. Yet towards this
undesirable state Of affairs have we been drifting
since the advent Of the new Church Establishment
from England. Every plan which Il small mind
could suggest has been used, which has at last
eliminated in an unfair and unchristianlike
criticism, in pamphlet form, from the pen of the
Bishop himself, Of the works of those who,
every candid mind will admit, have been the true
and faithful friends of the Hawaiian race. Here,
more than elsewhere, should mutual forbearance
and goodwill be the rule, not the exception, in
our dealings and intercourse with each other
and, in proportion as we cultivate these virtues,
will be felt and seen d salutary influence on the
incoming tide Of immigration, which a prosperous
career is sure TO attract hither-an influence that
must react vastly TO our comfort and advantage.
When a candidate is mentioned for u vacant po-
sition in either Government or private employ, q
bigoted OF small mind will inquire his nativity,
instead of propounding the frank and all-sufi-
cient query, 9 Is he honest-is he capable p
Cherishing the things and the memories of the
past only SO far as We may prOGt by the lessons of
their experience, let us trim our sails for the
coming breeze OF good times, the first breathings
of which we already feel, while we bear in mind
the ancient proverb, g God helps them that help
themselves"

The Herald's Washington special says
that in an interview between Adjutsnt
General StratLer, of Virginia, and Presi-
dent johnson, the latter stated that be had
heard a variety of opinions upon the sub
iect of reconstruction in the State which
were adverse TO Governor PierpOnt and
his policy, nevertheless he was firmly dis
nosed 10 believe In Governor PierpOnt and
his course and to render him al the assist
ance he might require in the discharge OF
his important duties, and he had no doubt
that the Governor would not only justify
the confidence of the Executive but like
wise that OF the people of Virginia over
whom he wys cslledto rule.
