the above was adopted by a vote of ~

been said, and that is something like
this: And whereas, our church refuses

Declaration of Purposes.
Whereas, the general condition of our coun-
try imperatively demands unity of action on
and economy, and the dissemination of prin-
eiples best calculated to encourage and foster
agricultural and mechanical pursuits, encours
aging the t0iling masses-leading them In
the road to prosperity and providing a just
and fair remuneration for labor, a just eX-
change for our commodities, and the best
means of securing to the laboring classes the
greatest amount of good we hold to the
principle that all monopolies are dangerous to
the best interest Of our country, tending to en-
slave a free people aud subyert and finally over
throw the great principles purchased by the
fathers of American liberty. We therefore
adopt the following as our declaration princi-
ples:
1, To labor for the education of the agricul-
tural classes in the science of economical gov
ernment, in a strictly non-partisan spirit and
bring about more perfect union of said
classes.
2. That we demand equal rights to all. and
special favors to none.
8. To endoIse the motto: "In things es-
sential unity; and in all things charity.
4. To develop a better state mentally, morally,
socially and financially.
5. TO constantly strive to secure entire har-
mony and good win to all mankind and brother
ly love among ourselves,
G, To suppress personal, local, sectional and
national preiudices, all unhealthy rivalry and all
selfish ambition.
Z. The brightest jewels which 1t gamers, are
the tears OF the widows and orphans, and Its
imperative commands are to visit the homes
where lacerated hearts are bleeding; to assuage
the suffering of a brother or a sister bury the
dead, care for the widows and educate the or
plians to exercise charity toward all offenders;
to construe words and deeds ip their inost favor
able light, granting honesty of purpose and
good intentions to others and to protect the
principle. OF the Farmers Alliance and indus
trial Union until death. It's laws are reason
and; its equity cardinal doctrines inspire purity
of thought and life its intention-is 'son earth,
peace and good win to man."

THE FIRST REGATTA.

The first regatta at Pearl City
was generally voted a great success,
and there can be no doubt that
Honolulu aquatic sports have
moved to their new quarters to
stay. The advantages of the beau
tiful harbor there are so great that
the idea of giving them up cannot
be entertained. It is unfortunate,
however, that the interest
In boat racing does not
seem to be more general. Though
there was large crowd at the
Peninsula, the local four hundred
were very scantily represented, and
the absence of ladies was particu-
larly marked. The boys sail and
pull for glory, and the zeal for
glory is never at its height when
the contestants are not goaded on
by the presence of the fair sex.
Nothing will so surely stimulate
athletic sports as an atmosphere of
general enthusiasm, and no sport
deserves stimulus and support
more than the manly exercise of
boating.

ton will be tested in the Court this
morning.

ton is desirable, we have Wake
lees Camelline, Dickey's Creme de
Lis, Oriental Cream, Espey's Frag-
rant Cream, Cucumber Juice, Skin

Honolulu Merchants Exchange, or
any title which may be agreed
upon. This association would
have a variety of objects, but the
leading one would be the abolition
of the pernicious credit system
which has been the curse of Homo
lulu dealers for so many years.
The accomplishment of this end
would alone be an inestinable adj
vantage. The system of indis-
criminate and indefinite credits
credit to everybody as long as
everybody likes-is doubly demon
alizing and is open to all the OBJ
jections urged by Polonious; For
lending often loses both itself and
friend, and borrowing dulls the
edge of husbandry."
The quarterly bill system, as
everybody knows, leads to extraya-
gance on the part of buyers, who
are too apt carelessly to incur debts
without the means of paying
while, from the point of view of the
merchant, it is bad, because it
makes it hard for him to turn over
his capital quickly and leads to the
constant loss of accounts which
cannot be collected.
The above does not begin to be
an enumeration of the evils of one
kind or another which flow from
the Honolulu system of quarterly
bills. But such an enumeration
would be superfuous, for we be-
lieve it to be generally conceded
that the system is an unmitigated
evil. The difficulty seems to be
that it has fastened itself so firmly
upon business life here that at
tempts to get rid of it are futile.
1t is like the opium habit
At the same time a concerted
effort may achieve what individual
effort would fail in. A single mer-
chant is not easily persuaded to
strike out in a new path, because
he fears the loss of business. Yet
some have established the system
of monthly settlements success
fully. If this plan can once be-
come general, it will then be vastly
easier for some retailers to do a
cash business.
If the proposed Honolulu Mer-
chants Exchange succeeds in
dealing the death blow to the pres
ent slipshod methods of business
its arrival may be hailed as q
boon. The cash basis blesseth
him that buys and him that sells
Whether such an organization vii
be as useful in other directions as
its promoters hope, is perhaps no
so clear.
