Mr.. EDITOR: In your generally
accurate report of the proceedings
in the school-room of St. Andrews
on Thursday evening is mistake
which l shall feel obliged if you
allow me to correct.
In the remarks made after Mr..
Harris had spoken, reminded the
meeting that, during the whole
period of the individual existence
of the Second Congregation, there
had never been any intention of
excluding the Bishop from taking
part in their services. On the con-
trary, the Bishop has on several
occasions given notice of his inten-
ton to take part in the services,
notably on the occasion of the me-
mortal services on the death of the
Emperor of Germany, the service
to the memory of cur fellow-wor-
shippers and others who perished
in the hurricance at Samoa, the
service held in celebration of the
Jubilee OF Queen Victoria's reign,
and on other occasions.
Whenever the Bishop has in
timated his desire to take part in
these or other services, he has, I
believe, made known to the clergy
Of the Second Congregation the
portion of the service he desired to
undertake, and, to the best of my
knowledge, this intimation has al
ways been accepted as the rule to
be followed. That this has not
occurred more frequently is not the
fault Of the clergy or laity of the
Second Congregation, and the mat
ter was not referred to by me in
any resentful spirit, or as a ground !
of complaint.
Your obedient servant,
H. W. MIsT.

A LAME APOLOGY.

Mr.. English this morning offers
an explanation Of his connection
with the "fake" story in regard to
the making Of a defunct constitu-
ton. The argument is that be-
cause it is justifable to translate
statistics about trash and sugar
mills into French without inquir-
ing into their accuracy, therefore,
1t is justi6able to traduee q mans
character without inquiry. If one
may be honorably employed to do
the first, it is honorable also to be
employed to do the second. We
seem to hear Mr.. English plain
lively saying, the laborer is
worthy Of his hire"

poor old Emperor Claudius by

HELP The BUREAU.

The notice of the Commissioner
of Agriculture, which appears in
this issue, asking the public to CO.
operate with the bureau in the
work of enlarging its sphere of use
fulness to the country, is one that
should appeal to every public
spirited citizen. The funds at the
disposal of the bureau are limited,
and a great portion of them will be
needed to import many kinds of
economic plants and trees, as well
as seeds. Grated trees are too
costly to import for free distribu-
ton, and but little could be done
in this direction but it is the in
tention of the bureau to import a
sufficient number of the best kinds
Of fruit and economic trees and es-
tabllsh them In the most favorable
locations. From these a great
number of buds and gratis will be
obtained, with which to bud and
engraft, stocks raised from seeds.
These will be distributed to the
people without cost, and it is for
this purpose that the commissioner
asks the public to assist the bureau
by donating seeds. The more seeds
obtained the more young trees and
plsnts there will be to distribute.
It is very little trouble to save the

Us to forget that the summer is not
far of with its long dry days and
weeks, its probability Of drouth,
and its possibility Of cholera. The
water question Of Honolulu has
been q vexed one, and it has been

seems 10 be that the establishment

with q couple of artesian wells
affords the easiest, surest and
cheapest way out Of the difficulty.
The Legislature Of 1892 provided
for the establishment Of such a
pumping station. making an appro-
priation of $4,000 for that purpose.

TIE PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT AND
TIE SPOILS.

The course of the Provisional
Government from the date of its
beginning until to-day has shown
that it was not a government OF
spoils, and that the desire for office
was not one of the forces that Gre
ated it or kept it in existence. 1t
has in all respects lived up to the
principle laid down in Wednesday
mornings ADVERTISER, and has
never used the power of appoint
ment as an instrument of party re-
ward without reference TO the com
potency of the candidate or the
purpose Of the office. There could
be no more striking proof of this
fact than the complaints which
have arisen against the Govern
ment from the ranks Of its own ad-
herents.
There is nothing in the present
situation which would strike a
stranger more forcibly than the
fact that so few removals have been
made. A revolution has occurred
and a monarchy crumbled in the
dust, yet, so far as the tenure of
Office is concerned, the wheels of
government 90 round very much
as before. There could be no
more conspicuous proof of the
high purpose Of the revolution and
the high character of its leaders
than the way in which the Gov
ernment has been conducted since
the 18th day of January, 1898.
The movement was an attempt to
rescue the highest interests of the
country, its civilization and moral
welfare not less than its material
prosperity, from the utter ruin
with which they were threatened,
and no other consideration played
any role at all worthy to be named
in comparison with these.
fthe course Of the Government
in regard to the spoils is worthy of
the highest praise, it would on the
other hand be grossly unjust to
treat as spoilsmen those adherents
of the Government who claim
that its supporters have the first
claim to consideration, when there
are vacancies in the public service .
to be filed. They are right in de- /
manding that offensive partizans .
should be removed, and that the .
places of such should be filed by
men who have freely given their
service TO its cause. There is no
of opinion between the
Government and the majority of
is adherents on this point. /

Mr.. English and the Constitu.
ton.

Mr.. EDITOR; Some little time
ago an engineer very well known
in Honolulu came to me and asked
me to write a letter in French for
him. The subject was "Trash as
fuel in sugar mills" I can lay no
claim to any accurate information
on the matter, but 1 did what
could, and the letter was forwarded
to the Society of Chemists, in Paris.
the facts, calculations, expert
ments, results and theories, were
given to me by my friend the en-
gineer. After reading your editorial
this morning the awful sense of nv
responsibility rose upon me, and
now | am in dread of being held
up to the world as the man who
has lent himself to the propagation
of fallacy and mis-statement con-
cerning trash as fuel. And, indeed,
| shall be more open to censure in
that regard than in reference to Mr..
W. K. Castles alleged constitution !;
for, whereas, know but little of
trash for fuel, l know still less con-
cerning that other form of the same
genus. Yours obediently,
F.M- ENGLISH.
