No man should be carried on the pension

We apprehend that our Government can
not compel the Sultan Of Turkey to defend the
rights or punish the prosecutors Of the Chris
tian missionaries who are striving to propa-
gate tho Gospel In his dominions. We fear
that Secretary GRESHAM cannot make salts
factory reply to the appeal sent to him by
the American Presbyterian Board Of Foreign
Missions. We doubt whether 1t would be dis
Greet for the State Department to send de-
spatch to the Sultan at Constan tin pie demand
ing that he shall at once issue the orders and
enforce the measures necessary to secure the
safety Of the Boards agents In Turkey. The
Turk is hard customer to deal with at all
times: and he is pretty sure to take rest
when any power makes a demand upon him.
The English arc aware Of this fact and so are

esting: and the chances are that his Majesty
will then issue an irads In the name OF GoD

tion OF difference Of opinion which would
not have attracted attention IL the cour-
tesy bad been extended to Protestants
with whom they are at variance In doctrine.
They have only recognized the right OF
| Catholics to disagree with them. as they
recognize the same right In Protestants;
and they have shown respect for honest
and sincere conviction. They have treated
the Roman Catholic Church as an organiza-
tion that In its own way Ia working for the
same end for which they are striving, the
| moral and spiritual welfare and the saliva
| tton OF men. They have included 1t among
the brotherhood OF the faithful and as q
powerful ally in propagatlng belief In
personal GoD and inculcating the essen
tial spirit Of Christianity.
Without such sentiment Christian union
Is hopeless. and with it Catholics and Prot
estants can be brought together In concord
as easily as the different divisions OF Prot
estants alone. TIE separation between
these is often as broad as the gulf between
Romanism and Professionalism. The theory
OF the Episcopal Church Is radically op-
posed to the Baptist theory. Arminianism
and Calvinism are totally at variance, maxi
Ing the division between the Method
lists and the Presbyterians complete.
Now. too. has arisen numerous party
which rejects the very pillar Of ortho-
dox Professionalism. that Is to say. the
sole and infalible authority and spot
less perfection OF the Bible as inspired
OF COP. They are united only In oppo-
sition to the Church Of Rome. 30 far as
they are united at all. II 1t Is possible to
harmonize Professionalism by a common
Christian sentiment. with belief In GoD
and In redemption as its foundation. 1t is
possible by the same means and to the
Same extent to harmonize Professionalism
and Catholicism. This Is the only real.
desirable. valuable. and potent Christian
union. the only unity worth striving for
1t Ia consolidation Of the whole power OF
faith for the defence Of faith against inti-
deity, now more dangerous than ever be-
fore in the whole history OF Christianity.
The Roman Catholics have a tremendous
task In keeping their own camp safe from
the enemy, and the Protestants have even
more need to expend their strength in re-
sisting dangerous tendencies to disintegra-
ton. Neither side has any time or any
ammunition to spare in fighting the other.
Each has enough to do in looking after It's
own. AS compared with their agreement
against the enemies of faith the differences
between them are superficial only. 1t is
not whether the Pope shall rule at Rome,
but whether GoD shall rule in Heaven.

Spreckels in Full Sight.

By o gradual process Of elimination and
| evolution. Mr.. CLAUS SPREcKELs Of San
Francisco has become the principal figure
In the opposition to the honorable acquisi-
| tion Of Hawaii by the United States. He is
likewise the chief advocate Of the restora-
| tlon Of Queen LILIUoKALAN1.
NoRDHoFF Is OF little account. He dis
credited himself with the nib Of his own
pen. Even SPREcKELs. who has used the
newspaper writer for all that he thought he
was worth. has apparently come to the con-
clusion that the period OF Mr.. EoRDHoFF's
usefulness to the cause Of royalty and
sugar monopoly Is about over.
CLAUS SPRECKELs Is an able man; he has
made good deal OF money. He is an am
bilious man. and wants to make a good
many millions more. Although he has
doubtless acquired American citizenship. as
means to all end. it has never been positive
ly ascertained that there Is a single drop Of
true American blood in the whole body Of
SPRKcKELs. His heart beats warmly for
SPRRcKELs; for Spreckelian monopoly in
the matter OF refined sugar on the Pacific
coast; for Spreckelian control Of the Ha-
waiian crown lands. and the gates which lot
into the islands Asatic cheap labor; for
Spreckelian monarchy. with SPRECKELs
as the power behind the throne.
Such Is the real attitude Of the plotter
aud schemer whom some Americans at
the beginning believed to be at the bottom
Of the annexation movement. That suspi-
cion was enough to discredit the idea Of an
nexation in their minds. but 1t was not well
founded. as everybody now knows. There
lad;
SPREcKELs Is against republican institu-
tions In the islands. and for monarchy. to
the extent of every dollar already In his
pocket. and every dollar his mercenary I'M
agination sees floating in the air.
This gentleman. whose very name. when
falsely connected with the Provisional
Government and the idea OF annexa-
ton. was enough to set cautious men a.
thinking. Is now out Of ambush and In full
sight OF the American people. He Is the
next friend OF the Queen. and he would be
the principal beneficiary by her restora-
tion. He has come back from Honolulu
to San Francisco "to sea what President
CLEVELAND will do" 1t Is he that describes
the members OF the Provisional Govern
ment as "adventurers." 1t Is he that
sneers at the missionaries" meaning tho
children OF America who have given to
Hawaii civilization. prosperity. love OF
free government. and the possibility of a
glorious future. 1t is no that predicts the
restoration OF the Queen. even "if blood
has to fiow." 1t is he. SPRCKELs. that will
do all he can to prevent annexation and to
set up LILIUoKALANI again as a Spreckelian
potentate.
In considering the present and coming
phases OF this most important and interest
ing question OF Hawaii's destiny. be sure
to place Mr.. CLAUS SPREoKELs where he
belongs. 1t Is SPRECKELs against Americas
national opportunity. and against Hawali's
dearest hope.

" WHO SHALL BE QUEEN ="

This much mooted question will
he discussed and settled, and the
queen crowned in the Stone Church
this Saturday evening, April 22d.
The chief part in the debate will
be sustained by the girls of Hawai-
ahao Seminary in the character of
the flowers of hillside and dale.
The violet, rose, lily, poppy, sun
flower, tulip aud variety of
others will be represented by
Misses Dale, Parker, Won Holt,
Mrs. Damon, the Misses Nolte,
Rhodes and Ward. After a musi-
cal debate the aspirants appeal to
a recluse (Mr. Wakefeld) to de-
eide the important question. This
character who had retired from the
world on account of his pessimism,
is SO moved by the presentation of
the beauty of purity, truth and
loving kindness, as exhibited by
the flowers, that he returns to the
world and to usefulness. Before
doing this, however, he renders his
decision in favor of the superior
claims of the rose who is then
crowned.
All this occurs in the sylvan
shade of palms and ferns and flow
ers. The characters are dressed
in the colors of the blossoms they
personate.
Nothing so ambitious has hereto
fore been attempted by the semi
nary girls, but judging from the
rehearsals now in progress it prom
ises to be a great success. The
great musical ability of the soloists
insures it.
