| own that / felt a good
deal of sympathy for the orig
inal owners of the Sandwich
Island while on their sea sur
rounded soil, and found my
self sometimes saying to my
self, Hawaii for the Hawaiians,
with a will. Once when view
ing the sod of Old Ireland
from the deck of the Wyo-
ming in the Queenstown Har-
Dor, [ surprised myself saying,
Ireland for the Irish, in just
the same way. The American
citizen cannot but approve a
display of patriotic zeal among
the individuals of any nation
atty whatever, whether of
island or continent !; and |
hold thatthereis a deep hered-
itary and traditional feeling
still smouldering in Hawaii
nei, the sense of a country and
ancestry of the ages, of tropi-
cal luxuriance of life in the
past, of fitness in til old nat
ural condition of things and of
sorrow and repining at their
loss. Writesa versed observer
on the subject, III am sure
that this brief civilization has
not quenched the real fire of
race and l could not but be
conscious that in those central
islands of the Pacific slum-
bered a throbbing, glowing
spirit of longing for absent
conditions and surroundings
more Appropriate to it's sphere,
a clinging to memories of hap
pier times and better things
for it, a dreaming of the old
ocean-bound wags when that
race was at the acme of it's
numerical, sanitary and social
prosperity. When James
Cook ruthlessly invaded the
natural rights of those light
lived islanders in 1918, he re-
ported them as a gentle, hap
Ply peace-loving population of
four hundred thousand souls,
dwelling comfortably andcon-
tentedly where Proyidencehad
placed them. What have our
ways, our habits of thought
and deed effected for them?
To-day there are not forty
thousand of that amiable
island-people left, and all this
we have done to them without
the help of sword and bullet,
but only by bringing to bear
upon them the guns of our
modern progress, the enlight-
eminent of our momentous
nineteenth century, the civil
cation of our era. Yes, this
grand result has been the
glorious work of but a hun
dred years
But the old glow is not
yet wholly gone; now and

again the dying flame flashes
i'll the socket and one thinks,
perhaps, at every flash, as the
flame flickers fainter and
fainter, that it has shone for
the last time, and at length
gone out forever. Says the
writer above alluded to: cit
is never safe to forecast
destiny, yet it seems most
probable that sooner or later
in this century the closing
catastrophe must come" 1t
is indeed narrowing to see a
race dying away through
subsection to conditions which
do not beft it, civilization
hopelessly mslited to it's
needs, a people perishing
which had weathered the
storms of centuries before the
destroying foreigner came,
islanders who numbered
nearly half a million when
first discovered. | believe,
however, that the last spark
of Hawaiian nationality has
not yet fled at least, it was
happily alive and active as
late as the 2Sth of December,
1872.
The old line of Kameha-
mehas was extinct. The
fifth and last of the race and
name lay dead in state, leav-
ing no heir apparent, either
lineal or collateral. The sacred
chain was broken, there were
no more links to weld. A
crisis was imminent. Wrote
United States Minister Peirce
at Honolulu to Secretary Fish
at Washington:
GAS the contest to elect a
successor to the crown prom
Uses to be of an exciting

CONTINUED FROM SATURDAY.

Perhaps, when the Creator
put those poor creatures upon
their sea-bound stand, and
left them for ages to their
own devices and instincts, he
did not intend them to be civ
ilized or brought under mod
ern European conditions at
all for it somehow happens
that demonstrating them to our
enlightened customs andways
of life inevitably results in ex-
tinguishiug, the race ; and this
is not only the history of our
tireless labors with the In
dams of our own continent,
naturally a warlike and preda-
tory people, but it is also the
sorrowful story of the intro
duction of Caucasian civiliza-
ton among the gentle, happy
and peaceable native of the
serene Sandwich Island. Is
there some fatal law of nature
which makes the white mans
touch destruction to the exis-
tence of all the shaded races?
1t would seem so.

SHALL THE HOPPERS HOPl
A Correspondents Opinion of the
Cadet Dancing School.

To the Editor Of the New DOMINION:
/ quote the following from your
Halleck letter in last weeks New
DOMINION:
at is question with many Of our
people whether the faculty OF the
University should permit dancing
school to be kept at that institu-
ton, &C."
/ suppose this correspondent will
be Mortified when he learns that at
the West Point Military Academy
and at the Annapolis Naval Acad
envy, both under the control Of the
U. S. Government, a dancing teacher
is engaged, and paid as the other
professors out Of the U. S. Treasury.
And moreover, every student is com
PEELED to take lessons in dancing. 1t
is regarded as one branch of military
science, and any student going there
who belongs to one of the denomina-
tions spoken of by your Halleck cor
respondent, must lay aside this pecul-
lar creed or else he cannot attend
these institutions. In all first class
schools, having a military depart
ment, dancing is taught.
Again, l suppose it will surprise
these people to learn that in all Asy-
lums for the insane dancing is one
of the principal remedies in curing
the patients. If they 60 to Weston
they will find an elegant hall in the
Asylum in which the patients have
their regular time for danciug. And
what is very remarkable the Super
intendent, and believe all his ply
sicians, are church members and are
considered good christians.
Again our most eminent physicians
regard music and dancing as great
assistants in the cure Of many dis.
eases.
Your correspondent is wrong in
saying that most denominations are
opposed to dancing. A majority of
denominations do net object to dane
ing, when engaged in properly, and
other denominations, excepting quak-
ers, are divided on the subject.
Where dancing is popular they dance,
and where dancing is unpopular they
protest against it.

The LARGEST SLICE OF CHEEK ON
acknowledgement for years has
been laying claim TO the possession
Of the prettiest girls to be found
within our mountainous limits. This
boast we are now prepared to con-
test, and successfully controvert.
Nowhere can be found such charm
ing galaxy of beauty as here in
Parkersburg, and we hereby serve
notice on Morgantown that an appli
cation for an injunction against such
boastful claims will be made at once.
State Journal.
Come, come, Brother Journal, you
can't play that kind of a game in
this month of December, year of our
Lord 1884. You have become mashed
on some red headed, pug-nosed,
freckle-faced, bandy-shanked, Stat
and forty" maiden of Parkersburg
and your eyes, which were erstwhile
clear enough, have become beclouded
and dull. 1t may be questioned
whether Napoleon ever fought a bat
tie; whether Ben Butler is widow
whether Washington was the pater.
nal ancestor of his country; whether
there ever was anybody by the name
Of Smith or Jones, but even "doubt-
ing Thomas" would not have been
equal to the task Of doubling that
Morgantown's girls are the prettiest
this side Of the sea. Parkersburg!
Great Caesar! No, no, Brother Jour
nal, the star Of beauty rises not in
that quarter.
