HAWAIIAN EVANGELICAL ASS0ClA-
Tl0N.
TWENTY THIRD ANNUAL SESSION.

This body met at 10 o'clock, A. NJ.
Tuesday, in the Kawaiahao Church.
There were present 80 pastors, II
delegates and Q members at large.
The Rev. A. PalI, of Lahaina, was
elected Moderator, and Rev. w. M.
Kalaiwaa, of Paahau, Clerk, for the
ensuing year. The various standing
committees were appointed by the
moderator, and the committee on
overtures presented the order Of busi-
ness. The statistical reports of the
churches were presented, also the re-
ports of the doings of the various
Island Associations, and their reports
of the condition of the various
churches connected with them. These
reports were read, as opportunity
presented, and inquiries were made
in regard to any matters that SEEM
ed contrary to parliamentary usage,
ecclesiastical law or good order.
The Association took a recess at
II NJ. for the usual noon lunch at
the North Pacific Missionary Insti-
tute, and resumed its sessions at ]
p. NJ, adjourning at 4 7. NJ.
WEDNESDAY, June 2nd, 1886.
Association met at 8 A. NJ. The
reading of the statistical report was
the first business in order. A com
mittee was appointed to prepare
resolutions in regard to the ministers
who had died during the last year.
DR.. Hyde read the annual report of
the North Pacific Missionary Insti-
tute. The next item on the docket
was Bible reading in the family, and
the Bible study that ought to be
made more general and more effec-
tive. Various pastors told sad
stories of the ignorance of their
children, the infdelity and immoral
ity of government school teachers, the
persistent effort to teach the Roman
Catholic Catechism to the children
connected with the churches of this
association, under pretence of teach
ing them what they need most to
know for the work life, The sub
ject elected warm discussion and was
referred to committee to put before
the churches in such way as to call
attention to this pressing need of
the churches, and the persistent
efforts to proselyte their young
people to other faiths and modes OF
worship, Rev. +. S. Timoteo, OF
Waialua, gave an interesting account
of his methods in interesting his
people, old and young, in a united
study of the Bible.
BY permission of the Association,

THURSDAY, June 3rd.
An act to repeal the law prohibit
ing Hawaiians from leaving the
kingdom, second reading.
Minister Neumann moved the bill
be indefinitely postponed. There
was not Hawaiian but who looked
at that law as restraining him of his
personal liberty. He was at first Of
the opinion that the act in force now
was in conflict with the constitution,
but was now of the opinion that it
was not. About three years ago u
circumstance proved to him that this
was very salutary act. During the
absence of His EXcellency Governor
Dominis on Maui, Hon. Mr.. Cleg-
horn was acting as Governor. At
that time certain person arrived
here from San Francisco, who held
himself to be manager of q dlsre-
putable place of amusement in San
Francisco. He came down here for
the purpose of hiring hula troupe
to be exhibited in that disreputable
place. 1t stood to reason that any
reputable Hawaiian would not allow
any woman under his control to 60
to San Francisco for the purpose of
exhibiting herself in that place. But
it may happen that, as there are
some such people in other nations,
there may be such in the Hawaiian
Islands, who would be willing to
have women under their charge ex-
hibited in such place. Therefore,
the law as it stands has very
salutary effect. They had a law by
which man cannot leave the king
dom without having passport after
he has resided here certain time.
The law that is sought to be repealed
does not interfere with the liberty of
anybody further than that it requires
him to obtain permit from the
Governor of the island. Such per-
mits are given without any charge
70 the applicant. lie might say that

IL this law had been effective only
to put stop in that one instance to
the prostitution of Hawaiian women
in foreign dives, it was a good law
to have. He hoped the bill would
be indefinitely postponed.
Rep. Dole said an attempt had
been made at every session to repeal
this law. He thought that showed
that Hawaians had feeling of re-
sentiment that they were to be
treated as children, different from
other people. He did not suppose
that the law included himself, but
only aboriginal Hawaiians. If it
did include himself he should never
feel right till he had it repealed.
With Hawaiians taking permanent
positions of trust and responsibility,
were not many of them more COM
petent to decide on their own actions
than the Government which is set
over them? He was very glad to
hear the remarks of His Excellency
with regard to the hula, and hoped
it might mean that some change had
come over the sentiments of the
administration.
Minister Gibson said he thought
the hon. member was indulging in
the class of remarks about which
they had heard so much lately.
Whatever individuals might have
done, he did not think the Ministry
could be held responsible.
Rep. Dole said that not long since
the administration had countenanced
those practices, but he would say no
more on that matter. He could not
see that it was any worse for Ha-
waiians to indulge in those practices
in San Francisco than it was at
home. If any INDUCED in those
practices here, it was good to get
rid of them. 1t was impossible to
legislate immortality out of existence.
When a man rents a house it is i'm
possible for him to prevent immo-
rality from being practised in that
house. AT this age personal free
dom was universally conceded in all
countries; persons could go and
come as they pleased. They had
sufficient limitations to prevent peo-
pie from absconding or fleeing from
justice. Those laws applied to every
member of the community, no
matter what their nationality or
color. Whereas this law, which the
bill of the hon. member for Koolau-
loa (Brown) designed to have re-
pealed, applied to only one nation
ality and included members of this
Assembly, such as the member for
Hilo, the member for Koolaupoko,
and the Minister of Finance, while
the Chinese, Portuguese, ETC., were
free to guide their own movements.
The motion to indefinitely post
pone was put and lost.
Rep. Kaulukou move to lay the
bill on the table. Lost.
Rep. Castle moved the bill pass.
Carried.
AT II o'clock, on motion of Rep.
Brown, the house adjourned till 80
p. VI.
There being no quorum at the
latter hour, the house, after waiting
in vain some time for the required
number, adjourned till l O'Clock to-
morrow, so as to give committees
time to deliberate.

invited to give some account of the
Chinese in their own country and in
these Islands. Christianity, he said,
is the religion for humanity, not for
any part of mankind only. AT the
time when David began his reign,
the Chinese Empire had already ex-
listed hundreds of years. Away
back in remote antiquity, the Chi
nese had invented printing, gun
powder and the mariners compass.
Mr.. Damon showed on the black
board by the aid of various dia-
grams, the size of the Chinese EN-
pire as compared with the various
continents and other kingdoms, and
its population as compared with that
of other countries. If the Chinese
people were arranged in line three
feet apart, they would encircle the
globe seven and half times; if
this line was started walking day
and night, it would take ia years
to pass given point; yet all the
Christian Chinese in this single file
would pass before one in only one
half day. Maps were shown of
China and of the province Of Kwan
Tung from which alone the Chinese
have emigrated to these Islands. A
brief explanation was given of the
pictorial hieroglyph of the PA radi-
Gals and the transformation through
which they have passed, till the
Imperial Dictionary now shows CO.,
600. A brick was shown from the
great wall of China, built b. c. 200,
and extending l,500 miles; also, a
praying machine of the Chinese
Buddhists, pictures of pagoda and
temple, and q model of Chinese
lady's foot, A brief account was
given of the introduction of Chris
tianity into China. In the 9th cen
tury, HISTORIAN Christians came in,
and Roman Catholics IN the 18th
century. But Evangelical Christi
anity dated from the arrival of
Robert Morrison, who with true
Christian heroism undertook to cope
single handed with the myriad forms
of healhenism. In 1908, he landed
there, and in 1918, he had trans
lated the whole Bible into that in
tricate language. In 1888, not
single Christian Chinaman was to be
found in China. In 1858, there
were $50; in 1888, 10000. How
many there will be in 1898 may
depend somewhat on what is done
in this kingdom. There are now
421 foreign missionaries resident in
China.
The address was closed with a
word of thanks to the Hawaiian
pastors for their help and sympathy
and an earnest exhortation to make
this Hawaiian Kingdom a Christian
country.
At noon, the Association adj
journed, after having voted to ac-
cept the invitation of the Trustees
of the Kawaiahao Seminary to attend
the annual exhibition of the school

The Association resumed its ses-
sions at 8 A. NJ. The first half hour
was, as usual, occupied with devo-

KANSAS EDITORS.

The Barnes Enterprise takes view
Of the newspaper field in Kansas, and
makes the following companions:
Our prominent editors about the
state are rather diversified in many
respects. When it comes to bulldog
tenacity Anthony, of the Lcavenworih
Times, takes the lead. Sol Miller, di-
vested of his power of producing
smut, would be rather behind the
average run of Kansas editors, while
Baker of the Commonwealth. can per-
form the straddle with ncatness and
precision. Marsh Murdoch has more
cheek than ant two editors we know
of, and when it comes to supporting
himself for office can be relied on
every time. Noble Prentiss is per-
haps more flOwery than discreet in his
writings, but generally makes his
point.
We note that the Enterprise fails to
name the prominent idiots connected
with the newspapers Of Kansas. 1t is
q little odd that he should thus have
overlooked himself.

RAILROAD CAMPAIGN IN SEDC-
WICK COUNTY.

At the present time the people of
Sedgwick county are considering the
ACCESSIBILITY of voting about $500 900
in bonds to aid these lines of railroad
through the county and into Wichita.
Judging from the tone of the Wichita
papers, they fear the bonds will rot
carry. In speaking Of the question
directly, the counties OH the soui hern
border, lying directly south, south
west and southeast of Sedgwick
county, have 10 interest in the cleo
ton pending in our sister county, but
indirectly we have vital interest. rs
the failure in carrying those bonds
will almost block all railroad propo-
sitions coming from the north.
for some time TO come, until the
companies can trace out other Routes.
Ii the proposition is defeated in Sedg-
wick county, our prospects for II rail
road will go glimmeringly into the far
distant future. The EAGLE and Bea-
con are preaching hard solid facts 10
their readers, giving hundreds of rca
sons why those bonds should be voted
that should satisfy any voter of ordi-
nary intelligence. The voting of rail
road bonds is simply a financial bust
ness transaction that hundreds of men
indulge in every day for profit or in
dividual benefit. A farmer often
mortgages his farm to get money TO
improve the place, thereby making il
more valuable and desirable to
passing purchaser, from whom the
farmer expects to make profit,
therefore, why not tolerate univer-
sal mortgage, SO to speak, for one of
the greatest creators and advancers
of values-a railroad. 1t seems TO us
that these things should be patent 10
all thinking men who have study of
financial matters. Everybody knows
that q farm through which railroad
runs is worth twice as much as one
ten miles away.
In these bond matters farmers be-
come imbued with the idea OF taxing
themselves to help the town people
Granting that to be true, we would like
to ask whether the town people dom.
help them in many ways? They fur
nish you market for your products;

value Of your land for miles aud miles
around; it affords you a competitive
market to trade; it pays large part OF
the taxes IN a county organization, in
fact, in counties where there is no
town, there is no county organization.
Therefore, the farmer cannot afford TO
fight the towns in these matters no
more than the towns can afford to
fight the country. We are equally
interested in this bond question, and
