Samoa.

rom 4 San Francisco paper the following rela-
i've to the Samoan trouble" will be found of
interest Il says Capt. w. b. Churchward late
British consul at SamoU, when on his way to Lon
don, bearing dispatches cOncerning.the recent dis.
turbances on the island, has explained at San
Francisco the cause of the difficulty He says that
Mullin Point, il the city OF Apia the seat of the
Samoan government, manv wears ago, came into
the hands of Mr.. Weber, a former German consul
and the head of leading firm at Samoa. Notice
was given the government to move, and although
hr. Weber was offered previously agreed price
for the land, he refused to accept it, and the
Samoan king was compelled to remove his resi-
dencc to another part of Apia. Mr.. Weber's action
was supported by the German consul, Steubel.
The king Eoisted the Samoan flag over the part of
the city to which he had removed; but snbse-
quently, owing to an alleged insult to the German
government by Samuans, Consul Steubel forbade
the king to display his flag anywhere within the
municipality of Apia. The consul went personally
TO the king and commanded him to pull his flag
down. This the king refused to do. Consul
Steubel went on board the German gun boat Alba
tross, which happened TO be in the harbor, and
brought party of armed sailors ashore, and for
chilly, and against the protests of the United States
and British cOnsuls, pulled the flag down. Two
Samoan high chiefs went to New Zealand to claim
sympathy and from their story the reports of
Germany's annexation of Samoa probably arose.
\ petition, signed by the most prominent Ameri-
can residents of Apia, under date of December g.
1885, has been forwarded to Secretary of State
Bayard at Washington. It asks for the removal of
United States Consul -Greenebaum, whom it
charges with general unftness for the Office which
he holds. Mr.. Grcenebaum is accused of charging
more than his legal fees for services rendered in
his official capacity, and with neglect of his official
duties. One of the most serious charges is con-
tanned III the affidavit of All Su, Chinese mer-
chant, who swUars that Mr.. Greenebaum tried to
make arrangements with him whereby Chinese
could be brought from China to Samoa and fur
nished with certificates there which would permit
them to enter the United States. Each Chinaman

The Lenten Season.

Tomorrow begius the Lenten Season of prayer
and fasting, which continues for the space of forty
DAYS. This initial day which ushers IN this sea-
son, SO particularly devoted TO the humiliation of
spirit. is known as Ash Wednesday, so called from
the custom, introduced by Pope Gregory the Great,
IN the sixth century, of amounting the forehead
with ashes as sign of penitence, and winch cere-
mony is still in vogue among the Roman Catholics.
Few indeed, even of the most deyout worshlppers,
have definite knowledge of the reputed origin OF
this penitential and, our religious contem-
p0raries, including the the "Daiys,' have failed
TO enllghten the community on the subject the
following information is presented the compila-
ton of their lay brother:
Lent is presumed TO cover the period OF CHRIST S
forty days in the wilderness, ending with the
gloom of the C-ultiNlOn, which is speedily followed
by the JOYS OF the resurrection, represented by
Easter Sunday. Ii is not very important TO the
modern world to know that the honor of orlglnat-
ing Lent Is divided between the Apostles and the
Fathers, with the weight Of testimony leaning to-
ward the latter. When the Church began to OBJ
serve il Is had more the character of feast For
several hundred years the date when 1t should be-
gin and end was not fixed. The Jewish Christians
made Lent end on the fourteen day of the new
moon, in the evening. irrespective of the day of
week. The Gentle Christian, on the other hand,
uninfueaced by Jewish traditions, insisted that 1t
should end on Friday and that Easter should be
celebrated on Sunday. The pagan Constantine
1.-THE Great who Hourished is Rome in the 4th
century. brought this matter OF Easter TO the al
tenton of the Council of Nice and the Holy Fathers
first Sunday after the full moon which occurs on
or next after March p and if the full moon hap
pen on n Sunday then Easter is to be the Sunday
following" This was but partial remedy for the
trouble Easter was fixed on a Sunday, but which
Sunday should 1t beg Tho Sunday must come re-
ularly in in certain cycle, and the cycle still
undetermined. There difference of practice
throut Europe. After the echoes Of Easter an.
thems had long died ont in one country they were
taken up and sung in another.
In time, however, ali the churches of Western
Europc agreed on A day for celebrating Easter
which of course, fixed the beginning of Lent. The
Eastern Christians did not adopt the calendar and
made no change, and TO this day the Greek ano
Russian Churches follow the old rule and observe
the day in the old fashion. As the result of mucE
investigation il has been discovered that Easter
cannot possibly be made to come before the Emo
of March nor later than the 18th of April; this veal
the festival of Easter which ends the Lenten sea
son Of sackcloth and ashes falls on Sundy, Apr
18th.

tomorrow and appropriate services will be helc
in the churches, especially the Roman Catholic
and Anglican during the forty days of fasting anC

His Majesty Talks.

His Majesty gave short descriptive lecture on
the Hawaiian Islands, in the basement of hauma-
kapih Church, last evening, to an audience OF
nearly 500 people. The royal lecturer touched
upon the theory of the creation of the group, from
volcanic action, the population, by migration from
Japan, the gradual development of the resources
of the islands, the artesian water supply, and the
kindred interests of the Carolines, Solomon Gil
bert and other groups with those of Hawaii. He
pictured the benefits that would accrue TO the
entire group on the completion of the Panama
canal, His Majesty made use of several colored
charts, during his remarks, and his explanations
seem to be readily understood by the audience
AT the close be referred PdSsdHf to the Chinese
troubles in California and elsewhere and likened
the influx of Chinese into that great country to
flea upon mans leg, saying that, although the
space was large yet the element was apt to prove
troublesome. He deprecated making Hawaii
Chinese colony, and questioned if a maximum of
that race had not already arrived here. Although
4 special detail of police were present not the
slightest occasion offered for their services, and
the large audience dispersed quietly at the close of
His Maiesty's remarks, seemingly much impressed
with the subject matter of the royal discourse.

Licenses

EDITOR GAZETTE. - There are two kinds Of
licenses in force III this country, the for re-
venue alone, the other in the nature of rGstriC-
ton of what is an evil, prevention of dang
er. The merchants license comes under the first
the license for the social evil and the liquor
license under the second. But in regard to the
liquor license does the present law restrict the
sale of liquor to the safe degree if there is any
such limit to any sale? Once in long time we
hear of a saloon closing up, but they never stay
closed Some other man is always ready TO take
up the business in the old stand and make a sue
cess where the first proprietor failed. The liquor
saloon is an evil, and the liquor traffic is out
rage on other business. 70 give n man a license
to keep liquor saloon is to give him the privilege
to lnjure every other business in the country.
Probably the majority of the saloon keepers of
Honolulu insist that their own employees shall not
get drunk but every saloon in this town is a trap
for the employees of other men, and more than
one man here finds again and again that his men
are limited for work. ana his business damaged,
and his property endangered Just because of
| the open saloon.

calling things by their right names, for as it Is
now, license to cause men TO steal ana murder Is
! included in a license TO sell liquor.
If we are to have liquor licenses, let us have
them so high they shall be in fact what they now
are supposed to be. The retail liquor license Is
one thousand dollars. There are twelve saloons
III Honolulu, the only place up to a few months
! ago where they were allowed, and these twelve
saloons, paying licenses amounting 20 twelve thou
sand dollars, with three or four wholesale houses
paying perhaps another thousand, did an agGre
| gate business in 1885 of eight hundred daG WtJ
thousand dollars! Where is the restriction of the
! license in such business; has the Government
made 1t hard for its people to do wrongg The
liquor license might be more than doubled without
decreasing the number of saloons to where they
| ought TO be brought, and the highest license OBJ
