with the parade and the appearance Of the city.
1t was the best he ever saw, and was unsur-
passed. He thinks the citizens OF Washington
are treating the soldier boys handsomely. He
wants the people Of the city to know that the
Connecticut boys are aware that the expense Of
the encampment is borne by them and not by
the general government, and that they feel
grateful for the courtesies shown them.
THE STAR DID MAaNIFIcExTLY.
Maj. E. L. Christman, fourth regiment Penn
sylvania reserve corps, Washington, Pa, says:
''The parade was the largest gathering Of the
kind in modern times, and exhibited the won-
derful regard each old soldier has for his fol-
low, for it WAS this sentiment that induced SO
many to come. Many made heavy sacrifices to
get here. In the changes and improved ap-
pearance of the city since tho war they feel paid
for the suffering they endured. The ornament
alton Of the city was something never before
witnessed. and the sentiment Of the residents
has undergone a great change. THE STAR has
done magnifcently. l remember THE STAR
during, the war when 1t was not as large as q
page, and very insignificantat that as compared
with the splendid paper which is now being
printed"
HAVE BEEN ENTERTAINED PRINCELY.
Col. Hugh Henry, commander of the De-
partment of Vermont, and his assistant adju-
tant general, b. Cannon, jr., both said: Tho
style in which we have been entertained is
princely. No effort has been spared for our
comfort, and every effort has been successful.
Washington deserves her reputation for beauty
and hospitality"
GREATEST IN THE HISTORY OF THE O. A. n.
Commander Hazard of the Department of
Florida said the encampment was the greatest
in the history of the Grand Army. 1t was a
success in point of numbers and arrangements.
NO ExTokTIoy PRAcTIcED.
j. B. Fuller, commander of the Department
of California, was at his headquarters at the
Everett last night. Among other compli-
mentary things which he said about Washing
ton was that he had felt surprise at the cheap
ness Of living at Washington. So far us he
knew no extortion has been prac.iced. Wash
ington is beautiful city, and its people have n
beautiful spirit of hospitality. We shall carry
back to California delightful memories of our
treatment.

to say that am surprised at the way The STAR

"What do think of this encampment? Well,
sir, you may just quote me as saying that it has
been one Of the most enjoyable if not the very
graldest in our history. As to our treatment
here, you may attribute to me any language
you please so long as it is in praise Of Wash
ington and its people. Our welcome has simply
been magnificent II has seemed to us that
Washington thought it could not do half
enough to please US. No complaints Of any
kind have come to my ears. The stories told
in advance that extortion would be practiced
and the veterans made the prey OF selfish

campment to Washington / am happy to say
have been wholly dispelled BY what has been
the real experience of every one of us. The
committee in charge of the arrangements has
worked faithfully and we'll. That fact is very
evident, for everything has worked as smoothly
as it was possible to anticipate. The grand
parade, the decorations, the illuminations. the
treatment accorded US by the citizens-in
short, everything here has been a scale
which will make every one who attended think
Of the encampment of 1892 with ever-recur-
ring pleasure, and l doubt if we shall have its
like again. should not forget to say good
word for your newspapers here. You have
given us elaborate and truthful reports of what
ever has been going on and The STAR has
simply outdone itself-and that is saying
great deal-the present week. Its enterprise is
to be commended by every veteran"
At this point another comrade was intro

aminer representative will not meet

swer.
The effort to obtain fuller and
more accurate information regard
ing Hawaiian affairs is proof OF
an interest in them across the
water, which is steadily growing
and which cannot bring anything
but good. The great need OF this
nation is a free market, and causes,
which are neither fortuitous nor
temporary, point to the United
States as the only country where
such a market can be found. The
interest in Hawaii felt across the
water is certainly a kindly one,
and when there is a Cabinet In Of
flee which feels a real, instead of
pretending a treacherous, friend
ship for our great neighbor, Hawaii
may hope to reap some substantial
benefit from it.

LEGISLATORS QUESTIONED.

The effort now being made by
the San Francisco Examiner to
obtain accurate information as to
the existing conditions in these
islands, may be regarded-in view
of the strange stories about Hawaii
current in the American press-as
a sort of amende honorable, and is
highly creditable to the enterprise
of that leading San Francisco
daily. Whether, however, the
method adopted is likely to attain
the results sought is very differ
ent question. The circular adj
dressed to members of the Legisla-
ture contains some very pointed
questions, and these will be an
swered by evasions, by silence and
by statements which, to put it
mildly, will not be exactly
true. 1t will require very
little courage or candor in

COMPARISONS.

To those who feel inclined-as
decent people here too often do
to despair of success in the at
tempt to secure government in the
interest of honesty and freedom in
this country, there is some comfort
in looking abroad and observing
that other civilized peoples are no
better off than ourselves. The
press of New York has for years
bewailed in vain the grip which
the Tammany Ring retain on the
affairs of that city, in spite of every
attempt made to dislodge them.
These attempts invariably result in
the defeat of the respectable ele-
ment which hastens to draw the
conclusion that the Prince of the
Powers of this World must exert
his authority by sort of divine
license which the groaning citizen
cannot revoke.
Tammany is only type Of evils
which exist all over the United
States, and there are innumerable
others of other types. The Aus
tralian ballot system is beginning
to excite renewed opposition for no
reason but that it makes for an
honest vote. The gerrymanders
by which the Legislatures of great
States endeavor to rob the people
of their rights are gigantic
crime which Hawaii would find it
hard to match, while the sale
ability of certain lights among our
lawmakers is matched by venality
in other countries which is no
better, though it may be higher
priced.
The Prince of Apostles told his
correspondents that comparing
themselves among themselves, they
were not wise. When, however, the
object of comparison is not vain
glorious one, it stands on a differ,
ent footing. The truth is that every
nation, like every individual has
it's special weaknesses. Hawaii is
certainly not without hers
but she is by no means alone
The political experience of other
countries should teach good citi
zens here not to lose hope anC
courage, but to press on. If victory
does not come to-day it will to
morrow. The last five years have
worked great progress, and If thu
next do not bring something al
good or better it will be the faul
of the drones, who fold their lay
wings and wait, instead of working
