COMING HOME.

Return.

We publish few letters from
Hawaiian residents-male and
female which have a appeared
in the Nslg York Sun, and which
give a pretty good idea of the
spread-eagle tone used by the
persons who furnish the CORES
pondence bureau of the Sun with
material. 1t is worthy of notice
that President Dole's wife is
among the correspondents to the
journal in question, and that she
evidently believes that the United
States are an adjunct of her kale-
ana. Hence the expression my
United States. Little "Elwood'
who is labelled as being 10 years
old and an annexationist WOULD
undoubtedly be much improved
if his fundamental part was
brought somewhat closer into
connection with one of his
fathers shingles. A Chinese
slipper might serve the purpose
though. The third letter from
another old gossip tells the world
some news in regard to a whole
sale bribery of Cleveland. Blount
and the Queen. The writer S
"old man" evidently doesn't con-
cur in his wifey's opinion; if he
wasn't so henpecked he would
undoubtedly have prevented his
better (?) half from making more
of fool of herself than nature
absolutely intended to do.

Cause of the Dark Days.

From the New York Times.
For days recently the sun looked like Q
japanese lantern hung in the sky. and in
spite of clouds and haze many Of us grow
weary OF cooking for rain. There Is no
mystery about these dark days, for the for
est fires fully account for them. Neverthe-
less special observations have been taken
throughout the country, and wise men are
studying the dust collected from the air,
and hope 10 make some important discov-
cries. II will surprise you tOknow how far
the smoke and haze may eXtend-"haH way
across the ocean to Africa" says an author
ity who has seen IL at that distance. In
spite of the knowledge Of the vast fires
burning all around us, the darkness has
caused some uneasiness, IL we may believe
the reports from some towns and villages.
Those who are easily frightened should be
told Of the dark day in 1880 and OF sturdy
Abraham Davenport who told the Con-
nectcut legislature, when IL wanted to adj
journ, thinking the day of Judgment had
come. that even II IL were so. IL would be
well to be found Going their duty. not shirk-
ing from It. You should read Whittier'0
poem describing the scene.

Just before the outbreak Of the present re-

honors. and am, i believe. the only strict
ty pirate American who has ever gone
through the imperial door of the great gate
which leads into his palace city.
The kings palaces cover nearly one thou
sand acres. They lie at the foot Of a ragged
gray mountain and q thick wall Of stone as
high as a two-story house runs around
them. This wall is entered by half dozen
great gates. at which. day and night, SOL
diers are stationed to see that only the prop

rank, and there are special entrances for

gate Is reserved for the highest. 1t has
three doors. and the middle one of them is
kept for royalty alone, and only kings and
princes are supposed to go through 1t. see
that the papers state that Gen. Clarence

May to Minister Sill. DR.. II. n. Allen, and
also to me.
Through the Back Door.
This is how 1t happened. The Corean
officials. who put On great airs, have been
trying to lessen the rank of foreigners in
the eyes of the people. They have made a
back entrance to the palace for them. and
they proposed to inaugurate this by thus
letting in our new minister, Mr.. Sill, who
had arrived in Corea during my stay Min
lister Sill, however, refused to accept their
proposition. He said he represented the
President of the United States, and that
our President was as big as any king on
the globe. If there was a gate for kings
ne thought he ought to go through it. and
he sent word to the department that he
would come at the time appointed to this
big gate, and If he was not admitted there
he would return to his legation This mes
sage made the faces of the kings officials
turn from the color of Jersey cream to
SKINNED milk. They saw that there would
be trouble and they referred the matter

In this way We went down the Pennsyl-

came. Men and women were crowded up
to the walls. Bullock carts were driven
down the side streets with a rush. The
people who smoked took their pipes out of
their mouths and held them behind them.
Women with green coats over their heads
scampered into their houses, and the eyes
of all were so stretched out at the sight
that they lost their almond shape and be-
