Clearly then, if the Hawaians in the
Independent party are willing to torego
their voice in cabinet control, and are
agreed that the king should choose his
advisers from those white men whose
trained intelligence and unblemished
reputation places them highest in the ma
tional confidence, no one has right to
complain. lfthe native race is satisfied
that four OF the men who represent the
reform tendency now uppermost in
popular regard ought to advice the
king in the present critical stage in Ha-
waiian affairs, that the king ought to
heed that belief and act upon it. The
king S future is in his own hands. He
may put in a bad cabinet, through
pique or through bad advice, He may
put in cabinet TO concillate some
powerful influence He may put
in compromise cabinet. But il

THE REDUCED TION.

In many respects the contemplatedre-
ductions in the appropriation bill are, at

duction in the proposed salary of the

penses of the armed force contingent

$4,000 leaving sum barely sufficient

Is, 1881. Il is addressed to Dear Frank
and signed "Your aiIectionate mother,

received a letter from him dated at Bakers

ing of the letter that Frank was young
man and that he had a brother somewhere
III the State by the name OF Worden. The
letter is brimming over with affection and
advice and is a letter such as only fond

speaking Of Worden, the other son, she
says she has not heard from him in Z long

was also found a few pages of religious
