sent into a better world many brave Peo-

On this meeting-day all these things
were taken down and out. This VAS not
a meeting for the purpose OF war, but a
commercial and peaceful me2ang over
which Impey Barbicane was going 20
preside. All room possible had been
made for the subscribers who arrived
from all parts of the United States. In
the hall as we'll as in the adjoining
rooms the crowds were pushing and
pressing each other without needing
the innumerable people who were stand

bers of the gun club, as first subscribers
TO the affair, had places reserved for
them very near the desk. Among them
could be found Colonel Bloomsberry.

armchair was Mrs. Evangelina Scorbitt,
who should really have had 2 place on
the right hand of the president as she
was in reality the owner of the Arctic
region. Several other ladies were IN
the crowd. They could readily be seen
by their large and much-decorsted hats
in many different colors. The large
crowd on the outside tried TO
push into the hall, and one might easily
have thought that all the people pres

in purchasing these regions they were

intense curiosity they had 10 hear the
important communication which the
president was about 10 make 20 them.

The hall, the parlors and all quarters

IT Is useless to make light of the cam
paign which Bush, Wilcox, Crowley, and
the Elele are carrying on. They are, as
their written and spoken words prove
over and over again, making an infamous
attempt to rouse the Hawaiian to hatred
and bitterness against the foreigner, and
they are doing it by shameful means, by
persistent falsehood, by SANDER, by
Misrepresentation of every kind, and
they are doing it for the worst ends.
This is one of those cases where, among
men who apply sense of duty to politi'
cal matters, every minor difference Of
opinion should be laid aside.

HOmely Philosophy.

Fretting cures no evil, it is true, but
it sometimes relieves the monotony Of
too much happiness.
1t is advisable to put our heart into
whatever work we may have to per
form, but it is wise to think well be-
fore we put our money in
When person becomes too good to
overlook the faults of the unfortunate,
then it is he that makes the error
which loses to him the glory of rs
goodness.
Delusions are the natural conse-
quences of ignorance. A lack of
knowledge of a thing necessitates the
invention of theory to account for its
being.
The chronically unhappy man, who
persists in trying to sour humanity,
should get him to his closet with his
woes, and give the sunshine chance
to warm his neighbors.
A man with a red nose is always
suspected of men. He may also be
wronged of men, for it may be that hs
is, instead of heavy drinker, a suf-
ferer from some painful malady.
When you see a person trying to
play the fool, and you hear it remark
ed of him that he is fool, you may
take it as an evidence that he was Gre
ated for the part
One strong, we'll directed blow sends
the nail truer to its home than do a

does whole yard of high flown elo-
quence.
The trouble with people nowadays
is they give much attention to the ex-
terror, to the detriment of the inte-
rior. They think mora Of the sack
than they do of the grain. The con
sequence is there is much poor grain
parading in fine sacks.
When tossed on the angry waves OF
sea of trouble a good motto is:
Never give up the ship" But when
the ship manifests tendency to sink,
it is wise move to swim out and not

THE SILENT OPPOSITION.

At the eleventh hour the silent OPP
position, the respectable Opposition, has
lifted up it's voice and spoken. For the
second time Mr.. f. G. Macfarlane, Mr.
Widemann, Mr.. John Phillips, have
swallowed the bitter pill, Eve do them
the compliment of believing that the pill
is bitter one) have taken the platform
with Robert Wilcox, and by so doing
have given him their endorsement and
moral support. Mr.. Widemann, MIR.
MacfarIane and Mr.. Phillips all made
speeches, and in these speeches We
naturally expected to find the reasons
(cogent ones they must have BEEN why
these gentlemen, all honorable gentle
men, have formed an alliance with
Messrs. Bush and Wilcox, and by so do
ing lent themselves to one OF the most
shameful and disreputable movements
in the history of Hawaiian affairs.
Mr.. Widemann confined himself prac-
tically to the discussion OF certain costly
presents, made by the French govern
ment to Kamehameha Ill. some forty
wears ago. The facts, supposing them to
be such, have a certain antiquarian in
terest, but hardly contains an answer to
the burning question why MIR. Wide
mann is party to a movement to de-
stroy our present Constitution.
Mr.. f. c. Macfarlane made an excel
lent speech outlining in an enlightened
way, general policy OF public improve
ments. He declared himself no friend
of universal suffrage, although making
the usual conventlonally vague remark
about a reduction of the property qualifi-
cation. But we search Mr. Macfarlane's
speech as we Sc rched Mr.. Widemann' s,
in vain, to find the reason of his opposi-
ton to the Reform party. MIR. Macfar-
! lane has the reputation OF wit-and
perhaps his sense of humor has led him
to Join Bush and Wilcox IN THE INTEREST
| OF PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS. The eXplana-
ton is extremely fanciful but seems as
plausible as any other.
Mr.. John Phillips also made speech
in which we have likewise endeavored to
find reason for his political stand. He
thinks the Government has been extra.
VACANT with the electric lights, and par
simonious with the roads, and he feels
sure that the National Reform party can
improve on government by the Reform
party. He refers to the Samoan mission
with just contempt, but forgets that he
is candidate side by side with the herd
of the Samoan mission. MIR. Phillips is
an intelligent as we'll as honorable man
but his speech, regarded as an explana'
| ton of his alliance with Bush and Will.
cox is failure.
So far then as the burning question
of the hour is concerned, what justifica
ton can honorable men have in taking
part in the Bush, Wilcox movement
the silent Opposition remains just as
silent as before. 1t was the answer to
this question which the public expected
and had right to expect, and having
failed to answer it, our respectable
friends OF the Opposition might as vel
not have spoken at all. They might a:
we'll have finished as they had begun
and taken no part in the campaign.
