On Trial for Heresy.

| DIR. BRIGGS is about to pass through
the ordeal of another trial for heresy.
From the big vote that decided on taking
up his case, it may be inferred that this
time 1t will go against him. But that
may have only been an Indication that
the Assembly meant to exercise its rights
in considering a case of appeal. Still,
the signs are not highly favorable to the
preachers vindication.
The very sound of the word "heresyn
and the idea OF a trial for it are obnoxious
to the advanced intelligence OF the age.
Freedom OF opinion and of the proper ex-
preston of it are accorded by popular
sentiment to all. And a trial for heresy
seems to smack of bigotry, and carry a
SAVIOR of the dark ages when heresy was
crime and the penalties for holding to it
were OF the most horrible and barbarous
character.
But trial for heresy at the close of the
nineteenth century, in Washington, d.
! -. LiAuSb lOO OS SOulOQDQGQ WIFI any
thing that went by that name In the Old
World, centuries ago, when the wheel and
the thumbscrew, the fagot and the fame,
| the headsman and the axe awaited the
culprit who was convicted and would not
recant. This is comparatively harm
less affair. 1t is simply an inquiry into
doctrine and question of whether a
preacher shall continue to teach within
its fold principles contrary to the tenets
of his church.
Nobody is to be placed in legal jeop-
ardy. The defendant is not in danger of
life, limb or property. He is not liable
to be made infamous in the eyes of his
fellows or to be thrust out Of the pale of
the best society. Ii the case goes against
him his mouth will not be closed. nor
will he be deprived of obtaining his living
or following his profession as public
speaker.
Is it right to try him at all? Some peo-
pie think not. The leaders of the church
which is chiefly interested think that it
is. Let US see. Dr. BRIGGS is an or
dained minister of the Presbyterian
church. He is under obligations to
teach only for doctrine the tenets OF that
church. He is accused of violating these
obligations. Why should not the ques-
ton be fully tested and he be convicted
or indicated?
Perhaps he is right and the church is
wrong on those doctrines. That should
make no difference as to this trial. If he
can make it so appear, either the church
will have to modify its creed or he must
conform to it or cease to be its minister.
In the latter case be can carry his wares
to another market. He can join some
other denomination or like other she
retics'' of latter times, set up for himself.
When DR.. BRIGGS accepted the position
he now occupies as theological preceptor,
he subscribed solemnly to the annexed
declaration:

i New Testaments to be the word OF Con

MIR. BLoUMT's MISSION.

From the first day Of the Provi-
sional Governments existence up to
the present time, nothing discrodita-
bic nor disorderly has become charge
able to the opposition. This state
ment applies both to opponents of
annexation on the merits and to
those who condemn the modes
adopted by its promoters and many
things done by and in the name of
its party. Nothing seems to have
annoyed the supporters of the
scheme in hand more than the dig
nified behavior of those who have
not enlisted under their banner.
That the dissidents of all complex
ions have avoided bucking against
the United States as a nation has
grieved especially the hotter-headed
portion Of the revolutionists. 1t
has CALLED them particularly to see
the native Hawaiians awaiting with
calmness and patience the action
of the United States after the nation
had received fuller information than
the interested statements of the
Provisional Governments Commits
siOners. The organ of coercion sol
emnly cursed the organs Of public
opinion for their wckedness in hold
ing ont false" hopes to the native
Hawaiians that the American Coy
ernment would pay the slightest at
tention TO representations of the
Queen on behalf of her country
people as well as herself. 1t is true
that Harrison's administration was
in for coercive annexation with all
the mind and heart and soul depo-
sited beneath "grandGather's hat"
But Harrison's administration had
been condemned to extinction long
before it attempted the great wrong

local Representatives were buoyed
up for few days with bascless re-
ports from Mr.. Thurston in
Washington, to the effect that
President Cleveland was going to
press the treaty fathcred by his
predecessor through the Senate, sit
ting in extra session to confirm the
new Presidents appointments to
office. At the same time these mis-
leading and wholly mauthoritative
reports from the Provisional Govern
ment's Commission were received,
advices from Messrs. Neumann and
Macfarlane representing the "fair
deal cause stated that President
Cleveland was going to send Com
mission to these islands to invcsti-
gate the whole scheme. These cor
rcct advices were denounced by the
coercion organ as being manufac-
tured to mislead the Hawaians.
Well, President Cleveland's Com
missioner is here now. His recep-
tion by the coercion organ is com
bination of snarl and sneer.
Paraphrased with the thought that
crops up between the lines, the coer-
cion organs greeting runs about
thus-wiSp.
"Mr. Cleveland had no business to
send Commissioner here. Full in

fore the State Department by Thurs

MAJORITY OR MINORITY RULE?

One of the incongruities of the
present and prospective political
situations is that the annexationists
openly express their determination
to conduct the government of Ha-
waii upon the principle that the
minority, and not the majority, shall
rule. 1t is melancholy thought
that SO many intelligent people, call
ing themselves Americans, and pro-
Tossing attachment for those princi-
pies Of government expressed by the
immortal Lincoln, viz, government
of the people, by the people and for
the people"-should now pose as
the outspCken champions of minor
ity rule, and under circumstances
which will made it nothing short of
a despotism. Is annexation to mean
a government conducted upon the
American, or upon the Russian prin-
ciple? If the former, it must en-
brace the feature of civil rights for
the people, and local control of local
affairs. If those rights are not to
be recognized and preserved, and if
the Russian principle of govern
ment by an oligarchy backed up by
bayonets is to be permanently i'm
posed upon Hawaii, then we protest
against the Stars and Stripes being
prostituted to the protection of such
conditions. Such a theft of the
livery of Heaven and its prostitution
to the service of Satan, should be
frowned down and prevented by all
patriotic Americans.

"a TREBLED POPULATION. ;

The Star proves too much when it
"trebles the population" as one of
the results of annexation. The pro-
posed union is intended, by its pres
ent advocates, to result, first of all,
in the abolition of the forms of
local self-government, such as have
prevailed here for half century
The excuse given by the champions
of this scheme of piracy is, that if
the voting franchise is preserved,
they (the champions will not be "in
it," as the majority of the people
are averse to annexation and to the
party represented by the champions
aforesaid. They are doubtless cor
rect in this, so far as the facts are
concerned, but what about the
"trebled population" that is going
to follow so closely upon the heels
of annexation? There are only about
10000 Hawaiians in this country,
less than half of the entire popula-
tion, and yet the anneXationists pro-
claim, in one breath, that Il preserya-
tion of the forms Of local self-goy-
ernment will swamp them at the
polls, because of the native majority,
and in the next breath they pro-
claim that trebled population will
at once follow the acceptance Of
their scheme. If the population is

One of the qualities that attract
admiration to President Cleveland
is his thoroughness. The Adver-
tiser reluctantly pays him tribute
on this score. Already the State
Department has "full information
on the Hawaiian question, it says.
But "full" information is not enough
for the President, it adds in effect,
so he has sent Mr.. Blount here to
get the fullest information. If
the information at the State Depart
ment was quite full, however, we do
not believe Mr.. Cleveland would
send anybody here prospecting for
the superlative article By the way,
how much can you add to a full
quart measure to make it fuller, and
how much will it hold at the
"fullest?"

thrown off the seats. Aside from the
fright caused by the shock, however,
nobody suffered from the accident.
After two hours waiting the royal
party proceeded ON another train.
The celebration in Berlin of the
memory of the patriots who fell in
the revolution of AS was quiet be-
yond all expectation. The police
had made elaborate preparation to
quell all disturbances, but found no
need of interfering with the small
and orderly group that went out to
lay wreaths on the graves of the
revolutionary martyrs. The outdoor
meetings, for which preparations
had been made, were rendered i'm
possible by the weather.
