J.W. Drinkard the populist orator
who was here this week told one good
story that will bear repeating. 1t had
Il moral we suppose. but that we have
forgotten. Here is the tale. An old
German who owned nice residence
was solicited by fire insurance agent
to insure his property. After much
persuasion he did so. upon being told
that he would get thousand dollars If
his house burned. and that the insur-
once would only cost him twenty dollars
for FIVE years. Sure enough in few
weeks the house was destroyed by fire
and the Odd man set on the fence every
day for Il week expecting every man
that came by was coming to pay him
his money. At last an ad juster arrived
who informed him that he could get
new house ana no money. This soured
him on al insurance business. About
a wear after this life insurance man
came around and talked as only those
fellows can. but the old German was

Jumping at a conclusion, without
other than a newspaper dispatch
as basis, does not, and never did,
add an iota of credit to the ability
of any occupant of the editorial
tripod, and never will.
Admiral Walker is all that has
been previously said of him, a
thorough gentleman, a capable and
brave officer, and as just man as
ever stepped in shoe-leather. To
throw printed language, of the
character that has been lately used,
against a most honorable and cap
able representative of the United
States Government, is most unjust,
and, to say the least, very distaste-
fui to an American citizen.

WE publish this morning a brief
letter expressing some views on the
relative advantages of Saturday

NOTICE.

In order that there may be no mis-.
understanding as to the nature of the
Directory soon to be issued by the Ha-
waiian Directory Company, we wish
to inform the people of Honolulu, and
those throughout the Islands, that the

and accurate compilation of the res
ponsible population of the entire ISL

A LAPSE FROM VIRTUE.

That spirit of liberality to which
favorable attention has been fire.
quently drawn, was strangely alb
sent from the Constitutional Con-
vention yesterday, when t1at body
decided by a heavy majority to
place the election of President
in the year 1900 in the hands of
the Senators who are to be elected
this fall. This is proceeding con-
trary to the settled principles of
constitutional government, which
nothing but the strongest necessity
could justify. In this case there is no
suggestion of such a necessity. IF
the election of President in the year
1900 is to be i'm the nature of
popular choice then he should be
elected by men who have been
freshly chosen by the people, and
not by persons who may for years
have ceased to be really represent
alive of popular sentiment. The
frequency with which the people
are consulted in representative gov
ernments varies with varying cir
cumstances, but in no country |
enjoying more than the name of
free institutions, would delegates
be chosen in 1894, to elect Presi-
dent in 1900, who should hold
Office until 1906. This is way of
attempting to take possession of
the twentieth century at once in
expedient, unjust and absurd.
The vote in the Convention
seems to have been taken upon
very little debate, and, doubtless,
an adequate realization
Upon the part of some Of the mem

Iction. 1t is earnestly to be hoped

only for cause. This would in
crease their independence, as the
President would naturally not in
terfere in the details of man
agement, and indeed be would
have no power to do so. at the
same time it would Tighten the
burdens of the Ministers, and free
the system of government of that
anomaly which requires an officer
under heavy bonds to report and
be responsible to another who is
entirely free from this financial
obligation.
No doubt objections Of weight
could be urged against the meas
ure thus briefly outlined. The
principle difficulty with it, how
ever, is that it would involve a
radical change in the Constitu-
ton, and reconstruction of many
of its articles. The reasons would
have to be very imperative which
should induce the Convention to
consider anything of the sort, at
this late stage of its proceedings.

a dmiKal Walker on Pearl
HarbOr.
Pearl

WASHINGTON, May 2S.-Admiral
Walker has reported satisfactory
progress to the Navy Department
in the work of making sur
veys for the coaling station on Pearl
Harbor. 1t has been found that the
entrance to the harbor, instead of
being blocked by high coral reef,
is chiefly o5strusted by sand spit,
which can be removed at reasonable
cost and little delay. Reports from
Lieutenant Wood, who has charge of
the surveying expedition, indicate
that the mouth of the harbor can be
cleared within about six months and
at cost lot to exceed 100000.
The intimation that this country in
tends establishing coaling station
on Pearl Harbor is having quieting
effect upon the ambition of other
countries who are known to have
looked with envious eyes upon
territory.

The Goddess of Theosophy

The Goddess of Theosopby.
Mrs. Annie Besant is known in
this country, in connection with
Colonel Olcott and others, as a rep
resentative of Theosophy. We
learn from the Satthiavarttamani,
published at Pasumalai, Southern
India, that Mrs. Besant recently
visited the great temple of Mena-
Chi at Madura, where one of the
high officials met her, saying that
Saraswati had now incarnated her.

he was therefore glad to meet one
of his Hindoo goddesses in person.
Mrs. Besanu is said to have thanked
the official very much for this high
eulogy, and to have walked bare
footed through the temple, bowling
before the gods Ganesa and SUI
bramnia. The paper from which
we learn this naively remarks that

GOOD, BUT BELATED.

Delegate Carter introduced a
resolution into the Convention
yesterday which would have de-
served the serious attention of the
members if it had been brought
to their notice at an earlier date.
As it was, the change which it
proposed was so radical that the
Convention felt no disposition to
consider it, and laid the matter on
the table.
Mr.. Carter's resolution provided
for the reduction of the Cabinet
from four persons to two, viz, the
Acknowledgement and one to be
called the Minister of State. This
proposition would have saved the
taxpayers $4,000 for the biennial
period, while, as a simplifcation of
our elaborate machinery, it would
have been a step in the right di-
rection. With strong Council of
State at the right hand ofthe Pres
ident, he might well dispense with
two of his advisers.
A great advantage, however, of
the proposed amendment would be |
its effect on the status of the bu-
reaus. The heads of these would
be appointed directly by
the President for period CO.

office, and would be removable |

CORRESPONDENCE.

Mr.. EDITOR: At the last session
of the Legislature an act was
passed, authorizing the several
departments of the Government to
patronize home dealers and manu-
facturers instead of sending money
abroad for supplies, at an advance
of Is per cent. This act is carried
out by some of the departments,
but others use the discretion al
lowed them and import or use the
imported article instead of the
home manufacture.
The Board of Health seems to
prefer buying abroad than at
home. They would rather send
money away and get poor article
of soap for the Leper settlement
(something that will not pass for
soap at all if analyzed) than to buy
the Hawaiian product. They
probably think it cheaper to send
our tallow to San Francisco and
have it made into soap, and then
buy the soap back, (two-thirds adul-
teration) paying freights both
ways. When pake will use Ha-
waiian soap at an advance on the
price of California soap, it must be
better, otherwise John wouldn't do
t. Is it not to the interest of the |
Government to get the best goods
or the money and thus keep the
,old in the country, giving employ
nent to our idle people?

Mr.. EDITOR In relation to the
communication of the Rev. Eric
Lewis.
The Sabbath was changed
from Saturday to Sunday by our
Lord Jesus Christ. Before the
resurrection of our Lord, all great
spiritual events occurred on Sat-
urday, the old Sabbath day. For
example, the nine dates of the
flood were Saturdays, and when
ever there was a message to the
prophet from the Lord, it was on
the same day of the week, which
was in accordance with the state
ment, that God blessed the sew
enth day and hallowed it, that is,
he exalted it and set it apart for
spiritual things. But when the
Lord of the Sabbath was in
the tomb on the 18th of
civil month the old Sabbath day
died out of all recognition, for
Jesus Christ rose on Sunday, and
from that great event other religi- |
GUS incidents of importance took |
place, not on Saturdays as under
the old dispensation, but on Sun
days. The Holy Spirit on the day
Of Pentecost came down on Sunday,
Jesus Christ appeared to his disci-
oles twice on Sunday. In Acts,
Xxx, Z, we read that the disciples
came together on the first day of
he week Sunday to hear ST. Paul
preach. They did not assemble on
Saturday. Again, st. John, in
Rev. 10 says, 81 was in the Spirit
N the Lords Day" Sunday, by
which he was understood to teach
hat the special visitation was
hanged from Saturday to Sunday.
urely these proofs are enough to
how us who authorized the change
f the day.

Excess Ereieht.

The Austrian railroads had a rule by
which any excess of load beyond that
marked on a car as its full capacity had
to be paid for at ten times the regular
rates. The shippers have complained
bitterly of the rule, and in a recent
conference of shippers and railroads
the latter have agreed to make this
charge for excess weight three times
instead of ten times the regular rate.
There have been in this country in
stances where the excess of the new
rate even would have made "a pretty
fortune for somebody at not very large
stations in a single year.. OF course, if
the excess rate had been collected
there would have been nc excess.
