1t was the crowning moral glory OF
the younger and greater Charles Dar-
win that he always stated the positions
of his opponents in the fullest and
fairest manner, 1t is one of the few
boasts of the Saturday Press tha, it is
always open to fair explanation and
honest argument In the belief which
so generally obtains in the community,
that neither its voice nor its silence is
directly or indirectly purchasablc, lies
It's strength before the people. Because
the people know that it is honest, and
believe that it is fair, it holds popular
attention on every public occasion. Ii
has never sought to make itself feared
IT has always succeeded in making itself
respected. II by no means follows
that the Press has been exactly righ,
on every proposition that has come
before it, nor invariably just and i'm
partial To be inialliblc is to be super,
human But i, has been so often right
that the community has unmistakably
declared it to be an exponen, of the
clearest thought, the most vigorous ex-
preston, and the most patriotic prin-
ciples which the reform party of Hawaii
nci has recently put forth. There can
he no honest government unless there
are honest men in it, back of il, and
creating it.

Perhaps the mcanest of the many
mean bits of trickery which have dis
graced the mis- administration of MIR.
Gibson is the pat up job }" by which
MIR William flowcrdew, a wealthy
Englishman, has been induced To in
vest large sum about SIS, in
the expectation of being granted the
privilege of laying rails for street horse
cars in this city. The true inwardness
OF this tangled tale will, doubtless, ap-
pear in the trial next week. 1t is toe
long story to compress into a para
graph Its proper telling would require
page. But the following disagrceable
inference is already in the possession
of the public In England a ministers
word is supposed to be grounded in
honor, and based upon law. 1t has
been Mr.. flowerdews expensive ex
perience to discover that honor and
knowledge of law are not essential con
commiiants Of an Hawaiian ministry
under Mr.. Gibson.

"We presume that when our costly
card-house kingdom falls to pieces,
England will step in and assume pro-
tectorate,' says an editorial in the New
York World, recently written about
these islands. The sentence quoted
is the concluding one of TRADE in
which censme is curiously mingled
with what is not Ii is as unpleasant
10 write any more about that wretched
farce, the coronation, as it possibly can
he for anyone to read about it, But
we cannot ponder too deeply the
melancholy truth that, for the time
being, the Gibson policy has made
these islands rerroaoh to the outside
world, and the result must be one OF
-four things absolute monarchy, tenn
pered with anarchy an English pro
tectorate annexation by the United
States or reform. The last is best.

THE STAR ROUTES.

WASHINGTON, April 13.--Ar Bliss continued
10 put in proof OF the destruction OF telegraphic
matter when the Star route trial was resumed
this morning.
Lewis Newcomb, New York post office in
speetor, testified that by order OF Postmaster
General James he had followed Rerdell across
the ferry on June II or y, 1881.
Ingersoli objected to this testimony.
Bliss explained that he proposed to show
that TORY had made misstatement when he
said that Rerdell did not go to Dorsey's office
ON that day
A long debate ensued.
The court ruled out the offered evidence OF
Newcomb.
DIR. James Rerdell of South Carolina was
the next witness called. He testified he was
brother OF Nj. Q. Rerdell; knew the latter went
to New York in June, 1881 The witness sal |
that be went With his brother to the postoffice
on Monday or Tuesday otter his return from
New York and his brother received letter.
The defence objected at this point and the
prosecution was called upon for an explana-
tion of their offer.
Merriek said that the witness would testify
that his brother had received the letter from
Dorsey, as described BY Rerdell in his testi-
moDs, lmportuning him not to desert him but
TO stand by him for the sake of his wife and
family, and the witness had eead the letter
Another argument followed but the court
finally decided TO reject the evidence and the
witness was excused.
The jury was then dismissed until Tuesday
next and the court proceeded TO consider the
subject OF the division Of time TO be- allowed
for closing arguments.
Bliss said the prosecution expected to close
soon after the next meeting of the court and
be presumed the defense would not take much
more time.
general discussion took place in regard to
the arguments and prayers to be submitted by
both sides. No definite arragement was made.
Court adjourned Till Tuesday next

TEMPERANCE WORK.
Resolutions Adopted by the Grand Lodge
OF Maine, l. o, G. T.

AT the closing session Of the Grand Lodge CT
Maine, I. o. G. t., in Lewiston on Thursday,
the committee on resolutions reported, and
after debate and amendment they were adopted
with enthusiasm as follows:
In annual session assembled, rejoicing in the
success that has crowned our efforts in the past
mindful OF the great work that IS before us,
and realizing as never before, that. earnest,
honest, faithful effort can mako our Order
what 1t was designed to be, an efficient instru-
ment in behalf Of total abstinence and prohibit
ton, We do urge upan every member Of the
Order the importance and necessity Of acting
up to the following resolutions:
Resolved, That Total Abstinence and Prohi-
bition are the cardinal doctrines of our Order,
and that in accordance with the Declaration Of
Principles Of our Order, We should act both by
moral and political means for the advance
ment OF these principles.
Resolved, That the submission OF the ques-
ton OF prohibition in the form OF a cOnstitu-
tlonal amendment to vote OF the people of
Maine, TO be voted upon at the next State cleo
ton In 1884, imposes upon the friends OF tenn
perance In this State a grave responsibility.
Should the vote be decidedly in the afirma-
tive, 10 will greatly strengthen the cause OF
prohibition In the State and country. Snould
the amendment fail to receive the necessary
majority vote, the vote must result not only in
the substitution OF license for prohibition IN
Maine, but will tend to greatly discourage our
friends in other States and jeopardize the ip-
terests Of prohibition the world over In view,
therefore, OF the magnitude OF the Issues in
volyed, and OF the sanitary effects of decisive
majority for the amendment.this Grand Lodge
earnestly admonishes the friends of temper
ance in Maine regardless Of party affiliations,
to at once organize for the contest, and omit
ting no measure needed to present the issue in
its true aspect 10 the people OF the State, TO
press forward unitedly and earnestly until VIC
tory shall be achieved.
Resolved, That We extend fraternal greet
ings to all organizations of whatever name,
who are laboliDg in behalf OF this and kindred
reforms, assuring them that whatever tie diff
ferences in form or mode of work, our hearts
shall continue warm and loyal to the cause we
have for life espoused.

WASHINGTON, April 13.-Secretary Lincoln
has decided that for want OF a specific appro-
: priation in the army bill the eight soldiers de-
tailed for duty on The Lady Franklin expedi-
