Japanese Suffrage.

Mr.. EDITOR: At the Parlia-
ment of Religions in Chicago, Mr..
Kinzo Hirai, a Buddhist priest
from Japan, gave as reason for
his rejection of Christianity, that
the Japanese in the Hawaiian ISL
ands are deprived of the right of
suffrage. How many of the $4,000
Japanese in Hawaii ever had the
right of suffrage in their own
country &? A writer in the Boston
Congregationalist, commenting on
this arrangement of Christianity
for this Hawaiian Governments
failing to do what the Japanese
Government will not do, makes this
additional point, that so far as Ha-
waiian suffrage is concerned, sit
was once offered but refused by
the Japanese Government" What
authority is there for the last state
ment ? CIvIs.

My Machinery

is the newest in use in all of
the large factories of the East, and
being thoroughly conversant with all
manner of complicated work, we claim
to be able to turn out as perfect work as
can be obtained in any part of the
world.
The distance from optical centres and
the long delay in sending away for
special work has prompted us to add
this special department to our already
large optical business, and we hope to
be favored with liberal share of the
work done in Honolulu. PRICEs-the
same as in San Francisco, and on some
work a little lower.

HAWAIIAN DAY.
How It Will Be Observed at the
Midwinter Fair.

Monday, the 18th of June, is the
day that has been set apart as cha
waiian Day." at the California Mid
winter Fair, and that occasion will
be taken advantage of for the max
ing of special effort in the way of
a general entertainment in which
the Hawaiian concessionaires will
play the part of hosts. A part of
the programme will consist of a pa
rade by the entire foreign contin-
gent, headed by the Hawaiian band
of forty pieces. Among other fea-
lures of the day will be a horse
race with female riders, sitting
astride, as is the native custom.
There will also be native field sports,
including fencing, spear throwing
and dancing. On Waikiki Ia
COON, within the Hawaiian enclos-
ure, there will be a comprehensive
exhibition of aquatic sports. The
event of the day, however, will be
a luau, or native feast, to which the
officials of the fair, the municipal
officers, the press, and others will
be invited. Guests will sit on mats
and eat from a table a foot and a
half from the ground. Roast pig
and baked dog, cooked in ii leaves,
broiled devil fish, and large num-
Der of other island fish also cooked
in leaves, native fruits and, of
course, 'poi" with every course, will
be some of the items of the menu.
1t will require about week of pre-
paration to properly get up luau,
and cooks and provisions are to be
specially imported from the Hawai-
ian Islands for this event.

Now, when these things were known,
all the chief Republicans were ex-
ceeding angry, and the Senators said:
"WhO is this Grover. that he taketh
it upon himself to make war, and to
set up thrones, and to tear down re-
publics? Let us say unto him: Come,
Tell us all thou hast done in this busi-
ness, and that right early"
So Grover, fearing lest he should
too much provoke the people, sent a
message unto the Senate, telling some
of the things he had done about the
islands, and making excuses for him.
self.
But the message pleased not the Re-
anyone, save those who were of no
party and no faith save Growers.
Then Grover, after he had sent the
chief CONSIDER, and said unto him:

THE LOST CHORD-AGAIN.

Seated in church one evening,
Myself and a friend at ease,
We saw the organist seeking
The organs ivory keys;
The tenor stood beside her,
While the soprano looked quite bored,
For she did not appear to 'sbe in it,
The hunt for that long lost chord.
We listened, we tried to be patient,
And thought he never would cease.
He appeared to have work to finish.
So he took it by the piece
He went down in the Basement.
II there that chord had lain
He surely would tind 1t quickly
And relieve US Of our pain.
Oh, of what was that tenor thinking?
Our hope of repoSe was noOred,
For his features worked as hard as he
In the hunt for that dreadful chord.
The boy that blew the bellows
Had a fixed demOniac grin;
The chOirmaster gasped for breath
AS tue air was pumped all IN.
Then we saw a satisfied simper
Steal down to that tenor's shoes,
AS if indeed he had found 1t;
What he never again should lose.
Oh, how we wished he'd tie it
Till his muscles ached again.
And we joined in soul with the organ
AS II voiced the grand amen"
We paid not cent to that tenor
His family to maintain;
For we wanted him and that chord so lost
They would never be found again.
Or. if we might make a suggestion
For losing this singing soul,
Could not he and that chord be sent to joir
The long lost Northern Pole.
The lost would be together
The chord, the link and the pole
And the tenor who had lost his voice
Could search with his heart and soul.
We would cheerfully head a subscription
To pay his passage there,
For his voice condensed ip all the parts
Might do for a frozen air.
P. S.-But l wager sixty dollars
And 8 little more TO boot
If the North Pole ever hears him
1t will come up by the root.

When the sun goes down as the moon comes

When the revei is done and you're left alone.
