That a public journal friendly
to the present government should
call attention, or even in the faint
est manner refer to any defects in
the administration of public affairs
is a phenomenon so contrary to the
theory and practice which has al
ways prevailed among the political
supporters of the monarchy and its
abuses that they are unable to
understand it. Having been edu-
Gated and trained in a school
where fairness is thing unknown,
and any trace of moral sense re-
garded as a positive Disqualified
ton, they are naturally astonished
- - the exhibition of these
qualities in others. We have
sufficient confidence in the intelli-
gence, as well as the honest inten-
tons of the public, to believe that
candor and independence in such
matters is, in the long run, the
course that pays, in the higher as
well as in the lower sense of the
term. Consequently, whenever we
see any branch of the public service
which needs overhauling, we shall
saw SO and shall not be mealy-
mouthed about it either. This we
shall continue to do regardless of
whether our friends happen to be
at the head of affairs or our enc
mics. Furthermore, we feel there
is no danger of our example being
followed by any organ of the other
side.

KAWAIAHAO CONCERT
Though Not Well Attended,
Proves to be an ENJOYABLE
Entertainment.

70 concert at the Kawaiahao
church on Saturday evening, for
the benefit of placing electric lights
in that edifice, was not very largely
attended. The middle aisles were
quite well patronized, but those on
the sides and the balconies looked
almost deserted. The concert was
nevertheless very entertaining and
compared favorably with any of
the Hui Noeau's previous concerts.
The floral decorations in the in
terror of the church were not
numerous, but artistic, the ferns
showing to advantage.
The programme opened with
Social" an overture played by
Prof. Berger's Hawaiian band or
chestrs. That band played three
pieces during the evening, among
which were "Sicilliane" and an
echo piece entitled can evening in
Switzerland" The rendition of
these selections by the band was
greatly appreciated by the audi-
ence, more especially the echo
piece. in which Messrs. Kappa and
Kreuter took part.
The Hui Mele Neau, company
of about a dozen native singers,
under the direction of Prof. Berger,
sang two choruses in Hawaiian, en-
titled Elijah" and "Hauoli mani"
Their singing proved an interesting
feature of the entertainment. Mr..
Cuelho, the favorite native baritone
singer, was to sing a piece entitled
" Serenade," but the audience was
greatly disappointed when Mr..
Berger announced that he could
not appear on account of sickness.
The fourth piece on the pro-
gramme was the quartette Medi
tation," in which the following
took part violin, Miss Mamie Patty
cello, Mr.. Wray Taylor; piano, Mr..
J. T. McGrew flute, Mr.. L. Bar
sotti (Mr. Hoag being unable to
play on account of the pitch of the
piano being too low to accompany
his f1ute). The piece was so ex-
cellently rendered that the audience
demanded an encore, when Fare
we'll" by Kucken, was given. Miss
Patty received a beautiful boquet
for her artistic playing on the
violin.
Miss F. J. Nolte next appeared
with song, " Forbidden Music"
The young lady sang the song very
sweetly, and captivated the au-
dience to such an extent that she
was compelled to give an encore.
Mr.. Barsotti's flute solo, from ell
Traviata," was also well rendered,
and received an encore.
Mrs. Patty and Mr.. Wakefield
next sang a duet, II Live and Love
Thee" Mrs. Paty's singing was
much admired, which is always
the case when this sweet-voiced
lady appears in public. Mr.. Wake
fields splendid baritone added
much to the delight of the audi
ence. Both were recalled.
Mr.. A. E. Murphy, the local
comedian, gave a recitation, "Nis
ions of Home" He was loudly
applauded and in response gave
"Statue of Liberty" a piece re-
plete with linguistic humor and
we'll impersonated by the speaker.
The evenings entertainment was
brought to a close by Hawaii
Ponoi." Though the programme
was considered rather short, all
those who were present unanimous
ly pronounced the entertainment a
very enjoyable one. The amount
of the proceeds cannot be ascer-
tanned at present, but it is under
stood a handsome sum was real
lied.

Ten years ago there was no plant
in the country for making ship
armor and modern guns of the
highest power, and the shipyards
and navy yards alike were unpre-
pared to undertake work of the
highest class. Now everything is
changed. All the complex naval
industries have been introduced.
a great shipyard like that of the
Cramps can build in the course Of
three years pair of battleships of
the highest type. The nation not
only has a modern fleet, of which
it has no cause to be ashamed, but
it has also facilities for rapidly in
creasing its naval resources in an
emergency. 1t is UNNECESSARILY
more secure against the danger of
foreign war than it was a decade
ago.-New York Tribune

A few months ago we called
your attention to these Goods
and to the fact that we would
soon be prepared to supply
you. It's SO long since, you
have probably forgotten all
about it.
We had commenced to think
ourselves that the manufac-
turers had mislaid our order,
and on writing to ascertain
the delay were informed that
the demand was so great that
each order had to be taken in
turn, and ours being away
down on the list, it would take
some time to reach it.
We had these goods made up
in BALBRIGGAN, as they are the
incest and coolest goods to
wear.
In the backs and fronts of
these Shirts, pure, soft wool
has been skillfulIy woven to
protect the lungs from cold.
To those who cannot wear
all-Wool garments, these goods
are a boon.
New and fresh from the
looms, a novelty never before
introduced here, and an abso-
lutte necessity to those who de-
sire to maintain their health.

In other words we shall insist
that the journal in question dis
cuss the issues already raised by
it against the finance department,
before its editors fly to other objec-
tions of like nature, which are
based upon as slight foundation
as Minister Damon has already
shown their previous objections to
be. When our contemporary has
met the knockout it received, in
the most gentlemanly manner, from
Minister Damon a short time
since, it will be ample time to
accuse others of evading "the clear
issues on this subject" The Bull
letin's last attempt at finances on
Saturday afternoon shows that it
is in need of another batch Of de-
tails from the finance office.
It is safe, however, to say that
since its late experience there,
further information will not be
asked. The royalist plan is to
avoid the possession of facts, so as
to be able to twist figures for politi-
cal purposes. Least of all do they
again wish to cross financial
swords with Minister Damon. The
opportunity can be made by the
asking, but the Bulletin and it:
hackers do not propose this shall
occur twice-it hurt the royalis
cause too much the first time.

From speech on education before
the New York Chamber of Com
merce we quote: eff public educa-
tion should be practical and aimed
directly at public welfare, then self
culture is not the most important
thing. Public education is for the
public. Our Saviour gives US a help
ful word here; he told his apostles
whom he had chosen to educate his
church, "Whosoever would save his
life for my sake shall find it, Jesus
thus teaches that the educators of
the kingdom of Christ must sacrifice
themselves in the public veal OF the
kingdom; that self-education can
only be gained in the kingdom of
heaven, by seeking above all the well
fare of the Christian public"

They Cot There In Time.

The following story in The Christian
Leader, told of Hosea Ballou by his son
the late Rev. Massena Ballou. shows how
a wise driver will regulate mis- speed by
the quality of his horse:
Father and son We're IN the same We
mcle, bound for religious meeting tc
be held at some distance from theil
home, at the time in Barnard Vt. The
father was apparently in no hurry and
permitted the horse to move on at al
easy trot.
The son. growing fearful lest the place
of meeting would not be reached in sea
son, said to his father in a somewhat
anxious tore Father, do you think we
shall get there in season.
The answer was, Yes, Massena, if we
don't hurry
The son 'saw the point" Only SC
much could be got out of the horse. d
at the outset he was forced, his vitality
being exhausted he would be compelled
"to slow down" at the other end of the
route, and this might be fatal to the
journeys purpose. By permitting him
to fall back upon his natural strength
he would be as vigorous at the finish as
at the start, and his natural strength:was
equal to the occasion.
The result proved the wisdom of the
remark.

Indian LEGENDS 20 Order.

The American Folklore society charges
that college students who serve as wait
ers at Maine summer resort hotels are
trying to supply the demand for Indian
legends connected with each rock. hill
and stream by manufacturing them,
making the legend fit the name instead
of the name fit the legend, and proposes
to see what can be done about it. But
college students should not be charged
with a monopoly of this business, even if
they are guilty at all. 1t was long before
the days OF student walters that the alb
surd story of the derivation of monhegan,
from the pigeon English. "man-he-gone,
instead of from the real Indian words,
'menahan," an island, and "kigan,
land in the great sea, was circulated,
and the other equally ridiculous attempt
to translate mooselucrneSuntic into
'moose-he-look-m -gun-tick.'
At the meeting of the Folklore society,
where the charge against the students
was made, ore speaker noted that Beaver
island in Maine was SO called because a
beaver crawled out OF lake on that is
land at the command of the great spirit.

BEARDED PARSONS.

Reflections on the Tendency Of Clersynen
to Eirsutc AdorHment.
An attack has been made in the col
umns of religious contemporary upon
the growing tendency among clergymen
to adorn themselves with boards. The
author of the spirited onslaught admits
that he is lay1nan, and he treats the
matter from a purely lay point Of view.
Being present at recent ordination, he
declares that the gentlemen presented
for holy orders could in nowise be ac-
cused Of being a company of 'beardless
boys or the contrary, every hirsute
facial adornment possible was to be
found among them, from flowing mus
tache to luxuriant side whiskers and
beard" He further wishes that the
clergy could hear their lay critics on the
subject of "hairy parsons" as in that
case he fancies that they could not con-
tinue to treat it as trivial matter, and
he finishes up his letter by the extraor-
dinary remark that the wearing of
whiskers and beard lust makes the
difference between looking like gen
tleman or the reverse"
This is certainly rather hard on the
hundreds and thousands of gentlemen
who have abjured the use of the razor.
Would the critic maintain that they
have all suffered fatal degeneracy of
appearance by this conduct: No doubt
there may be people who still hold to the
superstition that gentleman ought to
shave. just as it was believed by our an
cestors that persons desirous of being
considered to belong to "the quality
must wear wigs. The custom of wearing
the hair on the face, however. has be-
come so general in every profession that
it might have been imagined that it had
won an established position by this time,
secure from the ouslaughts either Of cler-
icals or laymen.
The critic obviously forgets that il
may be just as damaging to a Clergy
mans influence over his parishiorers to
be called a "beardless boy as 10 be
called hairy parson. Ana. after all.
it is hardly the most manly and earnest
section of churchmen who think that a
clergyman's principal duty is to look
nice in a surplice 1t may somewhat al
lay the discomfort of this friend of the
barber if he remembers that not all the
gentlemen who are ordained become at
once rectors, or even curates. Perhaps
when they take upon themselves active
spiritual duties they may see fit to alter
their facial appearance, and thus their
first shave would Immediately preceG-
their first sermon.-London Telegraph

In the Same Chair.

Daniel Webster was favored with de-
