PETITIONS To The BISHOP CT
HONOLULU.

We have been requested TO pub
lish the following copies of petitions
recently sent to the Bishop of Homo
lulu:
l. One with 81 signatures of mem
bers Of the First Congregation
calling upon the Bishop to dismiss
Rev. W. II. Barnes, rector, and re-
instste the Rev. H. II. Gowen and
MIR. c, H. White, organist.
?. To the Right Reverend, the
Lord Bishop of Honolulu: We the
undersigned members of the Cathe-
drsl congregation desire to express
our great grief st the condition,
which seems 10 us most lamentable,
of the work of the Anglican Church
in Honolulu, and our strong opinion
thst no satisfactory changes can oc-
cur during your Lordship's con-
tinued presence in the diocese. We
beg, therefore, respectfully, and in
what we earnestly believe TO be a
sincere desire for the best interests
OF the church here, TO ask You to
consider whether the time has not
arrived for You to resign the over
sight of the diocese into other hands.
Here follow 81 signatures.
3. My Lord: We, the under
signed members of the Second Eng
hsh Speaking Congregation of st.
Andrews Cathedral, Honolulu, feel
it to be our duty to express our en-
tire accord with q large number of
our brethren of Your Lordship's
Cathedral congregation in the wish
that you may see the desirability of
resigning the superintendent of the
Anglican Mission in Hawaii. We
do so in the firm belief that whilst
Your Lordship IS in charge of this
diocese, peace and harmonious work
cannot exist therein. and the we'll
being and hoped-for extension of
our church in this country is impos
sible. Here follows eighty-nine

signstories of the following paper to
publish it, as the expression of their
opinion on the questions at issue:
Wheress,-At = meeting of the Board
OF Trustees, held on the 18th instant, the
Bishop OF Honolulu announced that he
called the meeting OF the Board and was
presiding over it BY order of the Supreme
Court, and that he did so under protest,
and that he then protested that the de-
cision Of the Supreme Court
l. Starts with pure assumption in
capable OF proof;
, Rests on basis not in accordance
with the Constitution OF the Kingdom;
>. Is not dedueible BY the received
principles OF Interpretation;
I. Is not IN harmony with itself;
). Is inimical 10 the interests OF the
State as well IS those Of the individual,
and further that the Bishop did refuse
10 put before the meeting i resolution
regularly mOyed and seconded, alleging
as his reason for refusal the same ground
IS that ALLEGED by him for his refusal to
call meeting OF the Board, which re-
fCsal has been set aside as unJusti6able
BY decree Of the Supreme Court Of this
Kingdom, and further that the Bishop
did refuse TO permit any appeal from his
ruling as President OF the Board and
chairman OF the meeting, also did refuse
10 yacate the chair temporarily that the
resolution might be put, and did again
refuse appeal from his ruling, and
refuse to pat ! resolution that the

Secretary, and did finally, on this
motion, having been put by the
Secretary Is demanded BY the majority

Therefore We, representing the said

opinion and solemn conviction that the

FREEDOM FOB coNGREssMEN.

A committee appointed by the National
Civil Service Reform League has been in
quiring into the evils of the patronage sys-
TEN, and their report, just now made. pre-
sents an almost comic picture OF the Con-
gressmen's woes in connection with the dis
tribution of oficeS All the Republican
members of the House of Representatives
were requested by the committee to give
their experiences of the pleasures and pains
of dispensing patronage among their con-
stituents. Twenty-four members replied,
and their unanimous testimony was that
the business was all pain. The toll and
trouble of looking after about two hundred
and fifty appointments, which seems to
be the average number depending
upon each Congressman, absorbed more
than one-third of the entire time of these
Congressman. This time should have been
devoted by right to their legislative duties.
1t is no wonder that out of seventeen thou
sand measures introduced at the last Con-
gress, more than eleven thousand we're re-
ferred to committees and never heard of
again, and that less than twenty-five hun
dred were finally acted upon. The commit
tees had not the time to consider the legis-
lation before them; had not time to discrimi-
nate between good and bad bills and in gen.
eral did their work in a slovenly and care
less fashion.
The committee thinks remedy for some
OF these evils is to be found in the bill
affecting fourth-class postofices introduced
recently In Congress by Mr.. Henry Cabot
Lodge, of Massachusetts. This bill
provides for the removal of fourth class
postofices from the control of Congressmen,
and putting the appointing power in the
hands of civil service examiners and the
Postmaster General. THE DISPATCH
thinks some such measure as Mr.. Lodges
would be a blessing to the Congressman, to
the postofice service, and of course to the
people. 1t is in line with genuine civil
service reform-a scarce article in the
practice of both parties.
