Burying a Princess

In our approach to Honolulu we
had noticed that flags were flying at
half-mast, and on inquiry learned that
3 princess, sister to the queen, was
dead, and that the funeral was to take
place the same afternoon of our arri-
val. The cortage proved to be very
imposing affair, two or three miles in
length, comprising both state and
private carriages, native ladies and
gentlemen on horseback, besides the
immense throng OF men and women
who, in stately order, followed on foot.
There was very elaborate flower dis
play, and altogether the march to
the grave. accompanied by the fine
Hawa1fan brass baRd, was a dazzling
scene to strangers Just arriving IN
these beautiful islands ofathe Pacific.
Although the most marked order, as
much as would be observed in afy-Gf
She more civilized countries, was man
ifest in the procession to the grave,
yet, after the princess remains were
once deposited in the handsome mar
BILE mausoleum, located in the sub
urbs of Honolulu, there was a general
breaking away from quiet decorum.
We were surprised to see the driver
of the hearse, with three or four other
natives seated thereon, running a
furious race down through the princi-
pal avenue of the city, endeavoring
to pass some other carriages that
were, also, equally persistent in their
attempt to keep ahead. The after
noon wore off in a general holiday,
more, l think, than is customary in
this staid, New Englandized town.
Carriages, omnibuses, men and women
in gay attire, mounted on prancing
steeds, fitted here and there through
the clean, picturesque streets, which
are shaded with the pretty algoroba
palm, tamarind and other tropical
trees. The native women do not ust
side saddles, but rode astride like men
wearing usually peculiar cos
tune, sometimes of bright
gaudy colors, and so long and
voluminous as not merely to extend t.
either side and cover the limbs anG
feet, butto fall behind over the horse'
tail. To see these dark, native
women, moro often than otherwise O
massive form, cantering about tn,
city and suburbs. with flying robes O
yellow, red and black almost envelop
ing the; animal they are riding, is
novel sight and adds a dashing pic
turesqueness to the place CORES

publicaus find them comforting they must
have regarded their chances from the frs; as
very desperate. They boasted their ability
to sweep the west, aud yet their losses in the
west are greater than In the east, where the
doubtful states have not yet begun to vote.
They have applauded over an exaggerated
success. which. when cut down % its true
proportions, cease 10 be cause even for con-
graduation. Moreover. there IS very signin-
cant disappointment in the revelation that
the state would have gone entirely the other
way had IL not been for gains IN the large
cities Now these gains cannot be attributed
to what is called business mems enthusiasm,
for they have been notably lukewacRl. This
gain comes undoubtedly from the purchase
of votes among the voters Of the destitute
class. This was the case iu Maine, where IN
every town the Democrats found small resi-
dun Of doubtful voters OF the poor class who
d:d not know how they were going to vote
until the day before election, when they sold
their votes for about $40 apiece 10 the Blaine
cause. We have no doubt that this kind Of
influence gave the Republicans their gains
in the Ohio cities, for they had a much larger
supply Of funds than their antagonists.

company, two miles west of this city, occu-
cupied by Jas Holt and George Rogers, aud
their families, the former having wife and
four children, and the latter wife and three
children, was burned this morning at 10
O'Clock. The fire originated in the lower
story, Immediately beneath the occupants,

were awakened by the fire the usual means
of egress was shut of, and they were obliged
to escape through the upper windows. Holt
threw out chaff bed and he threw his wife
and children out on IT, Rogers assisted his
wife TO a short ladder which leaned against
the house, and before she reached 1t the fire
broke out of the side Of the building and
burned her hair and clothes completely of.
He then threw his children from second

SHceincf and Comprehensive Bss"me Of

First-His nomination was obtained by in
trigue, fraud, treachery, disfranehisemeni,
and threats 10 bolt unless the men who
thrust him upon the convention could have
their own way. We claim that it's more i'm
portant TO defeat such disreputable tactics
and rufianly overriding OF the viii of the
party rs expressed by the voters thereof,
than it is to secure party triumph II an
enemy has seized possession Of the fortress.
the fortress must be battered down II neces-
sary To dislodge him. II a corrupt and bull
doing gang has seized the Republican party
organization in this district by the throat, its
grip must be thrown OF, even at the risk Of
temporarily iosing a single seat in congress.
Second-There IS n strong and legitimate
objection 10 Mr.. Gilfllan personally ia the
fact that he was participant in the intrigue
which secured his nomination through the
/ disfranchisement Of one of the largest coun-
/ ties in the district. When lac came before
the convention 20 accept his alleged nomina-
| ton. he proclaimed both his ignorance and
his innocence of such intrigue; but facts
since brought out show that he was person
ally engaged, up TO the very hour OF the
meeting of the convention, in private con-
! ference with the very men whose treachery
brought about his nomination. His state
ments in his acceptance speech were, 10 use
the mildest expression, conspicuously mex

with his constituents, and il is widely be
lieved that the man who comes before IN,

with the guilt Of intrigue and Regeneration

REBELLION is proving an immensely popu-

The Democratic committees are taking great
pains to place it within reach OF all Catholics
and liberal religionists in both states. There
can be no question that several thousand
Irishmen In Illinois aud Wiscon sin who b.
been led away from their old political faith,
" the argument that Bla inc would protec
the Irish, have had their eyes opened BY this
providential lapsus lingue, and since Mr..
Blaine showed no disposition to resent
this gross insult to the religion Of his mother,
they will resent it for him. seldom
in American campaigns has any mere ora
torical extravagance, created such furore or
been fraught with such mischief to the cause
in whose behalf it was uttered. An extract
from the report of the episode has been
printed here in circular form and is being
widely distributed.

the Republican party here all the Irish votes
they would have received had not these
words been used by the ministers who called
on Blaine in New York. There are great
many Irishmen here, and some of them had
long since declared their inteation of voting
for Blaine. They are now ineensed over the
matter, and an indignation meetng is being
