When an American so far forgcts himself as
to forget thc day Of the week on which comes
the Fourth Of July, he is terribly ashamed Of
himself when he comes to remember. Lest
there lingcr in the minds Of any American
IIawaians, some hazy III formulated idea that
next Wednesday will he Saturday, OF the
middle of last week. or the next day after
never, OF some other ill.defncd holiday, we
beg leave to remind them that next Wednes-
day will be the day Of the year on which, over
a year ago, the American eagle made its first
flight for freedom, with its eyes to the sun and
It's breast to the foe. Next Wednesday will
be the day Of the year 1888, in which
Americans may safely drop every difference
and stand shoulder to shoulder under the old
flag Only those degenerate Americans, either
in durance or in the enjoyment Of legal but
unjust liberty; only those Americans behind
whom stalks the turnkey and before whom
yawns the penitcntiary, ought to be excluded
from the infectious fcrvor Of this day Of days.
In these piping times Of peace, there need he
not one rancorous intrusion. Harmony in
patriotism ought to be not less easy than 1t is
admirable As Americans, As men who be

the question, especially in connection with the

ought to be agitated until something is done.
The present storage capacity Of the lower

lower reservoir are the same they then were.
1t Is true an upper reservoir has been connec

frequently deprived of. The question now is
what shall be done about itp The Advertiser
Of the 18th said. "The heavy rainfall Satur-
day night will doubtless have the effect Of re.
plenishing the reservoirs that supply the city
with water and relieve the anxiety Of those who
have been endeavoring to create an excessive
alarm" Nothing can be further from the pur.
pose Of this article than to create excessive

il represents "a definite party. lhat a
party should exist in a state, representing
differences of political view and contending
honorably for the expression and realization OF
these views, is desirable and indicates lively
and healthful state of commonwealth.
A "party" cannot represent differences
Of political view" Such condition of party
being, would be even more singular than your
logic is peculiar.
We have had to deal with much opposition
that was bitter, mean and INSCRIPTIONS, and
that seemed to be animated solely by personal
spite, and contending only to give expression
to the rancorous spirit of personal hate, but
now a journal that has been devoted to this
personal acrimonious style of discussion de.
clares that its lucubrations are all in the
interest of ga definite party" We are glad
to hear this, because party represents some
kind of organization and consequently
leader; and now we beg to be introduced to
and to have introduced to the public the
leader of this party.
Keep your shirt on sonny; you shall be
accommodated in the sweet pretty soon.
The journal which announces that there is a
party at its back has not failed to signalize and
mark with dirty animosity, a leader in the
administration OF the Hawaiian Government,
who stands out full and prominent before the
people. His acts are arraigned and his person
traduced in every way TO give marked pro-
mnence TO his position.
Instead Of "dirty animosity to leader, "
read outspoken contempt for soiled place
hunter" Instead of 'm marked prominence to
his position, read "marked prominence to
his unfitness for his position"
Now, where is his opponent; where is the
leader that is to restore "good government
to so.called misruled countrys
Really now, dsreputable sir, you can't ex-
pect the chess players Of the opposition to
give away their game till they are ready to
call "checkmate."
The opposition party, if there is such a
party, must have champion, who will cross
swords with the leader of the government
party.
There is "such party" and do not allow
it 10 escape your continuous and assiduous
attention.
In the tourney, after the denuncaton of an
alleged wrong doer, and after the trumpets OF
the heralds have sounded, the name of the
champion is announced, who is ready to run a
tilt Poutrance against the opposing knight.
If your pot metal lance was ever in joust,
that was not unjust, the decent people OF
Honolulu have not yet heard of ii. The knight
must prove his knighthood before he may enter
the lists. You sit in the pillory of public dis.
approval Your face is set towards the limbo
of final retirement. Your name is stencil in
