how to cut and fit but how to out and

her to pay considerable attention to
color and to the laws of good taste and

CONSTITUTIONAL GOVERNMENT
JAPAN.

The PRONUNCIATION of written
/ constitution feC the Empire Of Japan,
! Is an occurrence of much more than
passing interest, Indeed, such a
step in advance, by q nation consist
I ing Of some thirty-fye millions of
the most intellectual. active. courag-
eous and fine tempered people in all
the Orient, is an event Of worldwide
Importance. Japan is a country
upon which the eyes of thinking
men in Europe and America, students
of political and social economy, and
friends of human progress, both civil
and religious, are now fixed as never
before.
What Will be the outcome, within
the next two or three generations, of
the radical changes in law, civil
polity, education, religious influence
and attitude toward the outside
world. which have been and are
now being made? How far have
these occidental and modern ideas,
which seem to have taken so strong
a hold upon the governing classes
struck in, and become component
part of the life and thought OF the
people? How far have the ruling
classes themselves really assimilated
the spirit and true import of these
outward forms and methods, and how
far do they appreciate their genetic
connections and necessary future
implications.
These and similar questions are |
being earnestly debated, and among
those who should be as well qualified |
as any foreigners 10 judge correctly, !
there IS far from being unanimity of |
opinion. Different as the Hawaiian
is from the japanese, aud unlike as
the conditions are in many respects.
there are not wanting, important
elements of paraIleIism between the
transition of this country from bar
oarism to civilization. and the
changes now taking place in Japan.
Considerable food for thought viii
be found therein by those who are
familiar with Hawaiian history.

the depressing of prices by the Cali

OF the Sugar Refneries Company,
Of New York, better known as the

Barrett's decision against the North
River Sugar Refinery Co. was ut
tered, decision by the New York
Court of Appeals, in the case of the
Old Dominion Steamship Company,
bears so strongly against the argu-
ments of Judge Barrett, that the
lawyers for the Sugar Refneries Co.
in New York feel more than ever
confident of the ultimate reversal of
his decision. Certificates of the
Sugar Refneries Co. are quoted in
New York at $685. bid, formerly S75.

caused by purchases of German

The Cathedral site.

Mr.. EDITORS Sir: With reference
to a paragraph in your paper this
morning, kindly allow me space to
say:
1. That the arrangement under
which the fences you speak of were
erected was not the arrangement of
the Incorporated Board of Trus
tees. The Board as such had no
cognizance Of the matter till Jan. 2I,
1889. On that date the proposed ex-
change was deliberated on and re-
jected. the Bishop having only a sin
gle vote as his co-Trustees.
,. That q grant of $500 has been
made to the Cathedral on the certif-
cate Of the Bishop that the site is
church property for crT. By the
site" l understand the tcIoIs lot
granted to the Trustees by the deed
of conveyance.
3. That the boundary of the Cath
edral site moved in October last
without any authority is now being
by order of the Board Of
Trustees of the Anglican Church in
Hawaii. BIsHoP OF Honolulu.

For the Board Of Health to deal
summarily with these people is
simply impossible. Our laws on the
subject do not admit Of that style Of
doing things. The kahuna has to
be arrested and prosecuted in the

lIR. EDITOR:-In commenting on
the serious accident to the Hawaiian
bark Lady Lampson, neither your
paper nor the Daily Bulletin make
mention of the valuable and efficient
services Of the officers and men of
II. B. Ms ship Cormorant and .. S.
ship Alert, rendered in endeavoring
to save the vessel. Allow me to sug-
gest that this omission might be
made good, and very nicely too. by
giving them that praise which disin
terested services and international
courtesy on the part of national yes
sells naturally call forth, and which
individuals would esteem as a re-
ward and as a stimulant for similar
action in like cases.
Trusting that my suggestion will
meet with your approval,
l remain, dear sir,
Yours faithfully.
