The Armada.

Hell for Spain and Heaven for England-God
to God, and man to man
Net confronted, light with darkness, life with
death; since time began.
Never earth nor sea beheld so great stake
before them set,
Save when Athens hurried back Asia from
the lists wherein they met; ,.
Never since the sands of ages through the
Saw the sun in heaven lordlier day than
this that lights us yet.
FOR the light that ubi6vr upon England, the
glory that rests on her godlike name.
The pride that is love and the love that Is
faith, a perfume dissolved in fame,
Took fire from the dawn of the fierce July
when fleets were scattered as foam
And squadrons as fakes of spray: when gal
leon and galliass that Swallowed the sea
Were swept from her waves like shadows
that pass with the clouds they fell from,
Laughed loud to the wind as it gave to her
keeping the glories of Spain and Rome.
III.
Three hundred summers have fallen as leaves
by the storms in their season thinned
Since northward the warships of Spain came
sheer up the way of the southwest wind,
Where the citadel cliffs of England are HANK
ed with bastions of Eerpentine.
Rar off to the windward doomed their hulls,
an hundred and twenty-nine,
All filled full of the war, full frught with
battle and charged with bale;
Then store ships weighted with cannon; and
all were an hundred and fifty sail.
The measureless menace of darkness anhun-
gered with hope to prevail upon light,
The shadow Of death made substance, the
present and visible spirit of night,
Came, shaped a waxing or waning moon
that rose with the fall of day,
To the channel where couches the Lion in
guard of the gate of the lustrOus bay.
Fair England, sweet as the sea that shields
her, and as pure as the sea from stain,
Smiled, hearing hardly for scorn that stirred
her the menace of sanity Spain.

BERETANlA STREET.
A MEETING OF PROPERTY OWNERS AND
RESIDENTS.

AT II o'clock this morning a meet
ing of property owners and residents
of Beretania street and neighbor-
hood east of Alapai street, was held
ut the I hamber of Commerce room
in response to II call by advertise
ment, to consider what steps should
be taken to remove the railroad
track with steam engine off Bere-
tauia street also to get said street
repaired and in good condition.
There were present: Messrs. j. B.
Athcrton, II. A. Widemann, q. o.
Berger, G. NJ. Cooke, Z. Hustace,
G.. f. Boardman, L. r. Lucas, j.
Lazarus, jim. Robinson, re. Howe,
E. {. Rowe, .A,Peacock, II. Lose,
n. +. Burgess, +. r. Hendry, John
Ena and w. Maertens.
Mr.. G. NJ. Cooke was appointed
chairman and Mr.. c. o. Berger
secretary.
Mr.. Berger said the object of the
meeting was stated in the notice
calling it, and needed no explanation
as everyone knew the position they
were in. He moved that commit
tee of five be appointed to wait upon
the Minister OF Interior and ascer-
tain the future plans with regard to
the railway on Beretania street, and
request that the street be repaired.
1t was stated by one gentleman
that new locomotive had been or
dered, the gauge of the track was to
be altered and the track repaired.
Mr.. Atherton thought it best to
make enquiries as to what was to be
done.
Mr.. Cooke thought it best to dis
cuss the matter before a committee
was appointed The locomotive
ought to run at stated hours, and
the street ought to be widened.
Mr.. Widemann asked, Did they
want to be permanently bothered
with the railroad? While it was
there temporarily nothing much
would be said, they would have TO
grin and bear it, He had lived for
eleven years on Beretania street,
and through that time there had
never been thorough repair of the
road. The Reform Government
promised the first thing they would do
would be repairs to Beretania street.
1t was now nearly two years and
nothing had yet been done.
The motion to appoint Il commit
tee was carried and the chairman
appointed the following gentlemen:
G. O. Berger, j. }. Atherton, +. c.
Rowe, W. Maertcns, and Il. r..
Lucas.
The meeting then adjourned sub
ject to the call OF the committee.

child who has no other means of in
struction than what the public
schools offer, from the little chance
of getting some religious instruction
also. This forced me to petition
also. But l got the people who
patronize the public schools TO sign
my petition. And as you insinuate
that they did not know what the pc
tition meant, | must tell you that |
admire your simplicity in believing
that anybody signs paper without
knowing it's object. No, sir, such
fools have not born yet. They knew
what they were about, much better
than YOU did yourself when you
wrote your article of falsehoods.
Now, let me inform you, that our
petition, although only g days in
circulation, March II TO 2l) has
been signed by over 1900 persons,
from the whole Makawao District,
very many non-Catholics baving
signed it also. will add also that
! have accepted the signatures of
children over ten years of age, rs
such children are able to sign their
names, and understand the object
of the petition, and are most actu-
ally interested in it.
When you add 1.-The consent to
put the names on has very likely
been demanded" you show once
more how little you know about Ca
tholic discipline, and how malicious
ly you spread falsehoods. Is that
sowing concord and peace!
After all these misstatemcnts you
come to the conclusion that it would
be best to withdraw the permission.
Please state to our satisfaction, who
is injured by such permission?
am anxious to see what you vii
answer. Then should said permis
sion be withdrawn who is going tC
be benefited?
My last word shall be, Let every.
body mind his own business, Pro
tcstants rs well as Catholics. Let
school officials attend their duties
without showing bad will to religi
Gus instructors, when they appea
at the appointed time, and there
will be no reason of complaint.

MAUI NOTES.

Evidently your correspondent on
Maui who signs himself n. O. has
got hold of some startling news
which on the face of it seems ridi-
cuIous. refer to the part of his
communication where he mentions
that "rumor says the lion. Ii. p.
Baldwin will discharge all Portu-
guese in his employ who do not at
tend the Makawao Foreign Church. .
ANY one conversant with the SUBJ
ject of labor as obtained on most of
the plantations on these islands,
knows that a large proportion of the
Iaborers are shipped, and that to
discharge them before Their contract
expires, means in many cases the
loss of q large sum Of money which
no planter will Voluntarily lose for
the sake of trying to force his labor
ers to embrace the same religious
| faith that he processes. However 1t
is not for me to take up the gauntlet
that Dame Rumor has threwn down,
| in defence of Mr.. Baldwin in this
] matter; those who know that gentle
| man also know, that the substance
of the rumor is absolutely false.
During the last week there has
been a spasmodic attempt On the
part of the authorities To hunt up
lepers, which has resulted III four
more unforlunates being gathered
into the fold. They were sent from
Kahului on the steamer Viva on

to be commended for the action it
has recently taken in building sew

REPEAL THAT LAW.

EDITOR BULLETIN:-Thanks to the
well-developed opiatc snliier of the
Port Surveyor and his good satel-
lites, the American bark &. ID. Bry-
ant will presumably be seized by the
Hawaiian Government. This is not
the worst of it.
The argus-eyed Custom House
officials have uprooted uninteution-
ally and brought TO the light of day
and the world one of the most anti
ouated fossils in law that ever dis
graced the Statute book Of any civil
llzed country. Even the pigs on
board the bark caught the contagien
to bring things to light, and broke
the seals bearing the sacred arms of
our realm, bent on discovering hid
den objects beneath the hatches.

would spread and the whole nation,
young and old, join IN finding some
more of such "Pearls at random
strung in our laws. Here are the
cold facts:

in fact, for an outlay of few patry

Of sugar TO the acre, the best yield
so far this year, on this part of the
island. There are other promising
fields in the district to hear from
yet, but it is doubtful If any exceed
this phenominal yield.
The subject of religious teaching
in the public schools, and the recent
petitions. one to abolish and the
other to retain the prat tice, which
have been pretty freely circulated
throughout the district, have given
rise to considerabl comment and
argument relative to the good to be
accomplished by retaining the Gus
tom, and l think that those who
have declared in the negative have
the best of the argument. SO far
as this district is concerned, Gas
near as | can find out) only the
Catholic clergy have availed them
selves of the opportunity offered by
the Board of Education to teach
religion. Thus but one denomina-
tion has been represented and but
one creed taught OF course that
is not the fault of any one but those
particularly interested in religious
teaching, as all have an equal oppor-
tunity. Perhaps the protestant
clergy don't think the school room
the place for such teachings and
therefore coniine their Iabors in this
direction to the Sunday school and
the family circle. A great many
parents think the same, and are
strong in their dcnunciation of car
rying such teachings in the public
schools. Many whom | have heard
express an opinion on the subject
say that the Lords prayer (Which
all Christian crcedS use) should be
the only form of worship allowed in
the school room, and that all sec
tarianism should be rigidly dis
couraged. What action the Board
of Education will take iu the matter
when these petitions come before
them, remains to he seen, but one
thing is certain that all the better
class OF the inhabitants on this part
of the island will be pleased to hear
that they have rescinded the order.
