HONOLULU, Nov. IL, 1919.
His Majesty King Lunalilo planned visit to
Kailua, Hawaii, a favorte resort of the former
kings of this group, the steamer Kilauea being de-
tailed to carry the monarch and his suite; but,
owing to the advice OF his physicians, the trip has
been given up. His Majesty has not rallied from
his attack OF teyer which Frustrated him in August
last rapidly or fully as his friends could wish.
Although his symptoms are not considered danger
Gus, much is said touching the succession to the
throne. His Ministry apd the local journals have
urged upon him the wisdom Of nominating sue
cessOr; but far he has declined, giving as rea-
son that he was the choice of the people, and he
wishes to give them the opportunity OF eiecting
his successor.
THE DYNASTY.
very mischievous impression prevails among
Americans that the death OF the present King Will
be the signal for revolution; that life and prop
erty will not be safe, and that the interests Of
Americans will require lorce to protect them.
There are doubtless some lew persons in these
iSduuo WIZ ucSlLc W SlNS tuiS lHipIcSSiou, anu
who Will help to bring about discord as an excuse
for foreign intervention; but it can safely be said
that the natives are as kindly disposed and as law
abiding as they ever were. ana, moreover, that
nothing but an attempt to ALLEVIATE their territory
or prevent the accession TO the throne OF. the man
OF their choice will lead TO any disturbance. The
natives will stand by the constitution Of the king
dom, and so long as they do this they should re-
ceive the support and sympathy OF America, at
least.
THE COMING CAESAR.
The most popular candidate for the succession is
the Hon. David Kalakaua, member OF the House
OF Mobiles. This gentleman has more positive traits
OF character than the present King, and will doubt
less I'LL the throne acceptaby to the natives and
majority OF the foreigners.

The opening passages were freshened up by the
enumeration OF the fair lecturers views on Cuba,
in which she denounced the cry for war, and said
that had it been needed it would have added
one hundred millions OF DEBT to this

try, and would have put back Spanish liberty
Tor centuries. In her usual scOdng style
OF eloquence she described the delusiveness OF the
glitter, the pomp and circumstance OF war, and
which led The nnthinking TO think lightly OF war.
She then called attention to the growing evils Of
modern times, namely, excessive devotion to
business; official immortality and it's conse-
quent universal decentralization OF public
opinion, to the neglect and negation OF indi
vidual responsibility in public AFFAIRS, to the
increase OF poverty and the need OF educating the
poor as to their rights and duties; as proof or
which she quoted the statistics OF the census,
which showed that $500 900 people in this country
could not read and 5,500,000 could not write.
she stated that during the last weeks she had trav

Mr.. Butler replied that colored wit

not necessary. That tho law applied to

very natural person.
Mr. Beck opposed tho bill. lie declared
that not a man on his side of tao House
