just stand, and look and look and
look.
The kings wagons took Jacob up to
see his lost boy, and so I really think
that the Kings wagons will take us up
to see our lost kindred. How long is
it since Joseph went out Of your
household How many years is it
now last Christmas, or the fourteenth
of next month"; 1t was.a dark night
when he died, and a stormy day it
was at the burial and the clouds wept
with you and the winds sighed for the
dead. The bell at Greenwood's gate
rang only few moments, but your
heart has been tolling, tolling, ever
since. You have been under delu-
sion, like Jacob Of old. You have
thought that Joseph was dead. You
put his name first in the birth record
of the family Bible and then you put
it in the death record of the family
Bible, and you have been deceived.
Joseph is yet alive. He is more alive
than you are. OF all the sixteen thou
sand millions of children that statisti-
clans say have gone into the future
world, there is not one of them dead,
and the Kings wagons will take you
up to see them. You often think how
glad you will be to see them. Have
you never thought, my brother, my
sister, how glad they will be to see
you9 Jacob was no more glad to see
Joseph than Joseph was to see Jacob.
Every time the door in heaven opens
they look to see if it is you coming in.
Joseph, once standing in the palace,
burst out crying when he thought of
Jacob-afar off. And the heaven of
your little ones will not be fairly be-
gun until you get there. All the kind
nesses shown them by immortals will
not make them forget you. There they
are, the radiant throngs that went out
from your homes! l throw a kiss to
the sweet darlings. They are all well
now in the palace. The crippled child
has sound foot now. A little lame
child says: Ma, will I be lame in
heavens" mo, my darling, you won't
be lame in heaven" A little sick child
says: ma, will l be sick in heavens"
mo, my dear, you won't be sick in
heaven" A little blind child says:
Ma, will l be blind in heavena" mo,
my dear, you won't be blind in
heaven" They are all well there.
In my boyhood, for some time we
lived three miles from church, and on
stormy days the children staid at
home, but father and mother always
went to church; that was habit they
had On those stormy Sabbaths when
we staid at home, the absence of our
parents seemed very much protracted;
for the roads were very bad, and they
could not get on very fast. So we
would go to the window at IL o'clock
to see if they were coming, and then
we would go at half-past IL to see if
they were coming, and at a quarter to
1, and then at / o'clock. After a
while, Mary, or David, or De Witt
would shout: THE wagons COM
ing" and then we would see it
winding out of the woods, and over
the brook, and through the lane, and
up in front of the old farm house; and
then we would rush out, leaving the
doors wide open, with many things to
tell them, asking them many ques-

The King has ordered that we be

l think that the Kings wagons
will take us up to see our lost
friends Jacobs chief anticipation was
not seeing the Nile, nor of seeing the
long colonnades of architectural beau
ty, nor of seeing the throne room.
There was focus to all his Journey
ings, to all his anticipations, and that
was Joseph. Well, my friends, do
not think heaven would be worth
much if our brother Jesus was not
there. If there were two heavens, the
one with all the pomp and parapher-
MALTA OF an eternal monarchy, but no
Christ, and the other were plain
heaven, humbly matched, with a few
daisies in the yard, and Christ were
there, would say: ''Let the Kings
wagons take me up to the old farm
house."
If Jesus were not in heaven, there
would be no music there; there would
be but few people there; they would
be off looking for the lost Christ, cry
ing though the universe: "Where is
Jesus9 where is Jesus9" and after they
had found him, with loving violence
they would take him and bear him
through the gates; and it would be the
greatest day known in heaven within
the memory of the Oldest inhabitant
Jesus never went off from heaven but

ARMED mob known as the H6n0lulu
Rifles.
That the present state of affairs III Ha-
! wall is uncomfortable and damaging to
the vital interests of those prosperous
and interesting islands can easily be un-
derstood That it is offensive to the
amour propre of King Kalakaua and of
his race is certain beyond any doubt,
! and by its duration nothing good will be
/ derived
! That the heterogeneous formation of
/ the present Cabinet and its anomalous
method of governing is the corollary of
the mob rule in June and July of 1887,
and de facto more than apparently pro-
tracted to the present day, is clear as
sunshine, and blind are those who do
not see it.
King Kalakaua is man of proud ma
ture and of enlightened views, but rather
deficient in judgment of human nature.
He allowed himself to be misled, and
became the prey of dishonorable lilipu-
tians who for many years badly served
him at home and equally badly repre-
sented him abroad; and, like timid
rabbits, when the redde rationem of
their misdeings came, and the oppressed
and discontinued population made it's
powerful voice heard, asking for the dis
missal of the bad managers, and the
armed mob knocked at the gates of the
royal palace-which unconstitutional
proceeding brought the King to the
verge of his downfall-they deserted
him and left the King without govern
ment at the mercy of the mob in arms
In this state of confusion a modern
Masaniello came out in the person of an
English-Canadian, self-styled Colonel
Ashford, and under his dictatorship the
present heterogeneous ministry was
forced on the King and his people, and
not without arrogance, menace, lawless-
ness and immense damage.
The existence of an independent and
strong government in the Hawaiian ISL
ands under a native ruler is an impera-
tive necessity for all, and more particu-
larly for the United States President
Cleveland and Secretary Bayard in their
wisdom foresight and patriotism, cannot
fail to desire. appreciate and uphold it,
SO far as the international laws and |
rights will permit, and also to exert the |
beneficial influence of friendly neighbor-
hood. Therefore, if King Kalakaua in
tends to abrogate the present constitu-
ton and promulgate better one, which
Will put an end to mob rule and estab-
lish permanently law and order, it is the
best thing he can do for the present, and
most certainly he will receive the ap-
plause from all the well-thinking men in
HaW ali and in the United States.
Long live King Kalakaua!

CUSTOM HOUSE ANNUAL REPORT

We have received from Hon. A. S
Cleghorn, Collector General of Customs
copy OF the annual report of his bureau
Tor the year ending December 81, 1887
1t Is neatly printed in pamphlet form
and tull OF reliable information. AS the
Collector General states, the figures pre-
sented in the report clearly indicate a
prosperous condition of our interal and
foreign commerce.
In a letter to the Minister of Finance
on the first page of the report the Col
lector General gives a summary of the
business OF the Custom House, from
which we give the following:
The total value of exports and imports
OF merchandise during the year amounted
to 81, 473, 288, as against $15, 335, O24 for
1886, showing decrease of 1861, 1856.
The total exports of both domestic and
foreign production for 1887 amounted to
$500 Az, showing falling off from
that.o 1886 of 1927, 1888.
The total imports of merchr ndise was
43'84O, as against $4,877,7 during
the preceding year, showing an increase
OF 500, lO2. The increase in the value of
dutiable goods was $196,S14; goods free
by treaty fell off $139, 443; goods bonded
Increased 1921, and goods free by law
fell off $11 $50.
The excess of the value of exports over
imports OF merchandise during the year
amounted to 1855, 6O6, being a falling
of of 1877 900, as compared with 1886.
During the year the specie imports
were $780, as against 81 ,138, 57I for
the previous year. The exports of specie
amounted to SCI ,276.
The amount of sugar exported shows a
small decrease, but not as much as was
expected, the total quantity being 2f2.-
76S,647 pounds, that of 1886 being 216,-
223,615 pounds.
The total value of our exports and i'm
ports amounted to $14, Alb ,288, 80. 70 per
cent of which was with the United
States; or $13, 138, 916 in value; 4.58 per
cent, with Great Britain, valued at
1861 $40; 1.27 per cent with Germany,
valued at 1854 ,561; 1.12 per cent with
Australia and New Zealand, valued at
$163,001; and 80 per cent from other
countries, valued at 1865
The receipts from all sources during
the year has increased from $3.50, 444 to
1895 ,O02; and taking all the circum-
stances into consideration, more than
was expected. The duty levied upon
opium has increased the total; but were
this item to be deducted az something
and not to be taken into calcu-
Iation as regular source of revenue, a
deficit of $4,000 would have to be re-
corded instead of an increase of $I4,558:
and this can be accounted for by turning
% table IS, showing the items in which
he DEFICIENCIES occur. OF the total Gus
oms revenues collected the duties on
pirits amounted to $247 ,O23, or AZ per
t, ard upon merchandise $174,OI2, or
9 Ter cent. The receipt from all other
ources amounted to $173, 1866, or 20 per
ent. AS compared with the year 1886,
shows decrease of $34, 726 on duties
evled on spirits and an increase of 500
OIL on merchandise.
The total increase on customs revenue
n the wear amounted to $14.558. A
