THE Hawaiian queen and her loyal sub
jects are accepting the situation Ike Chris
tians. viii they not receive their Just re-
wardT' This extraordinary statement and
still more extraordinary question come from
John +. Colburn of Honolulu. Mr.. Colburn
was q member Of the cabinet which went
out Of business when the provisional gov
ernment put An end to the countless forms
of raseality that had been planted and
nourished under the so-called royal su-
pervision Of the good-natured, but Grimm
ally-weak Kalakaua and his less amiable,
but none the less vicious spouse. 1t will
doubtless be most pleasing to Minister Para-
mount Blount to know that his course while
he was IN Hawaii was perfectly In accord
with the royalistic idea. but he win md /,
difficult to publicly assist Mr.. Colburn In
his evident mission. which seems to be the
securing from the United States of fnan-
c;al recompense for a lost Job. Mr.. Col
burn tries to be deceitful. but Is delight
fully frank. He says in one breath tina:
he voices the sentiments Of the Hawaiian
people and such foreigners as have not al
lowed themselves to be narrow-minded by
the object Of immediate personal GAIN" and
at the next expiration hopes and trusts and
does pray that the President of the United
States of America and his chief advisers
win do what is right. fair. just and equit-
able for US. considering that our queen has
been deprived of her throne. loyal subjects
Of their queen and the country precipitated
into the trouble and debt through the con-
nivaace and assistance Of Americas repre-
sentative and naval commander, and the
troops and guns Of the good ship Boston"
He wants the situation as 1t was on the 18th
10z
demnIty OF this government. Mr.. Colburn
must be a much more foolish specimen of
humanity than can commonly secure adInis-
sion to Hawaiian cabinets. If he irnagtn IS
that the greatest or republics VIII nrt a 1nger
to replace a rotten and comic opera mon
archy upon a tinseled throne. Neither the
voieelessness of a minister who found in
silence local reputation for wisdom nor the
fnhammatory and inaccurate statements OF
one who wrote too much can convince this
people that Hawaii Is any worse of under
the provisional. but honest government that
now controls the islands, than Ii was when
the opium snlugglers and lottery sharks
represented for the present by Mr.. Colburn
were acquiring vast wealth In defiance of
law and without regard to one Of the least
OF those precepts upon which true morality
rests. If the Hawaiian queen and her loyal
suojects-ioyal only because of their self
interest-had behaved like Christians for
some time prior to January last there
would have been no necessity for the as
sumption Of power by those who risked
their lives and their fortunes that a decent
government might be established II Mr.
Colburn lives until the United States puts
mahogany tinted or any other color of row.

The frequently-made assertion that the
Senate " often non-representative body
received support yesterday when Senator
Don Cameron declared himself to be en-
phadcally favorable to the free and un-
limited coinage OF silver and to the re-
Mobilization Of q state bank currency. The
people OF Pennsylvania, through the me-
oiums selected by themselves. have de-
elared vigorously In behalf of immediate
repeal Of the silver-purchase law. while as
to state bank currency they have been
emphatically on the negative side OF that
disturbing and foolish proposition. But
these conditions seem to be without effect
on Senator Cameron. who has for some
time been at variance with many Of those
through whom the Keystone state makes
most Of its wants and wishes known.

the republicans to defeat a new tariff bill
and the repeal of existing law concerning
federal elections? This il the next exc.t-

Our Alien Residenfs-


Sing hey, the merry Chinaman,
Who sails across the sea.
And bids farewell forever to
The land Of rice and tea.
He doesn't drink, he doesn't swear,
He works both night and day;
he never leaves You in the iurch
Nor kicks for higher pay.
He learns to iron clothes with ease;
He learns to cook and sew.
In fact. he'll learn most any thing
1t profits him to know.
With all his readiness to learn
It's strange he does not note
How vastly happier he would be
II he would learn to vote.

ALost Umbrella Turns Up.

Several months ago the editor of the
VIRGINIAN was SO unfortunate as to mis-
place a elf-hoisting umbrella, which he
had received as a birthday present from
an esteemed friend. The loss was duly
advertised and a reward offered, but no
one came forward to claim the reward.
As SO long time had elapsed since its dis
appearance. we had concluded that
there was little chance for its recovery,
knowing that such property, by com
mon consent, belongs to the public. Last
week, however, we discovered the article
in the hands Of our esteemed friend, J.
Kenney Brown, Esq who had found it
in the postoffice, and very cheerfully re-
stored it to the owner. Now word to
the wise is sufficient: Read the news
papers and you will not only keep posted
but frequently be rewarded.

A Progressive Euehre Party at Gov
ington.

CONVICTION, VA, Aug. Z, 1898.
The chief event of the social season,
which now promises to be unusually gay,
was progressive euchre party given at
the Intermont last Wednesday evening
The beautiful hotel the gem of the
Mountains was tastefully decorated
with green and natural flowers which
when viewed by the sparkling lights was
a scene like fairy-land.
There were fourteen tables, which
made it rather an elaborate affair. Pret-
ty girls were plentiful, and their natural
followers, he dear boys, were at their
best. The *. me was full of interest and
was very smoothly played. The ladies'
prize was won by Mrs. J. M. Williams, of
this city the BOBBY lady prize by Miss
Dicky. The gentlenan's prize fell to Mr..
Parker, and the gentleman's BOBBY prize
to Mr. Robt l.. Parrish, all of this place.
The ladies prize was beautiful deck of
gilt edged cards in a heavy silver-mount-
ed case with counters attached. 1t was
declared the handsomest prize ever given
in Covington.
The evening will long be rendered as
being perfect in every detail, and was in
keeping with the. high standard Of the
1ntermont.
Among those present we noticed Capt.
G. Ct. Gooch and wife, Mr., Mrs. and Miss
Tyree and Miss Bell, Mr.. Baldwin Ram
son, of Stanton; Mrs. II. II. Gilfry, Miss
Gilfry, the Misses Hart, of Washington;
Mrs. Geo. Turner, of Baltimore; Mr.. and
Mrs. ChesIey, of New orl; Mr.. and Mrs.
Bowdre, Mrs Nicholas Williams and DR..
Edwin Williams, OF Memphis; Miss Mary
Carter Anderson, of Hanover county, Va.
Our towns people were out in full force.
After the game we were treated to maslc
by Prof. Health, who, by the way, has
a very fine voice. The song, Where the
chicken got the axe" was loudly APP
p1auded by all except our entefprising
real estate agent, Mr.. 6. D. Kline, who
was conspicuous by his absence. ~

were singing and shouting. Such scene
has never been witnessed in Gordonsyille
before.
