SUNDAY CONCERTS.
A Puritan Files His Objection to
Them.

Mr.. EDITOR: Remember the
Sabbath day, to keep it holy"
The Puritan lived closer to this
rule than anybody else before or
after his time. The command
ment is given in very plain Anglo
Saxon, and if there were any ifs
or ands' they would probably have
been indicated by the great law
giver. The Puritan was nothing
if not stickler for the letter and
spirit of the law. Technicalities
and subterfugees were discounten-
anced in his creed. If Honolulu
were to surrender to the tempta-
ton of Her Berger's excellent
melodies on a Sunday afternoon it
would be no nearer perdition than
it is now. Honolulu crossed the
line dividing the holy from the
secular day long time ago, and it
matters little now to the cause of
VIC
lend our Sabbath ears to the
charms of German Wagner or
Yankee Dudley Buck. Germany,
the home of music, singles out one
solitary day in the whole year for
a taboo on band concerts. 1t is |
Good Friday. Is there anything |
unholy about a band concert |
There must be in the German esti-
nation. 1t is not at all singular
that the special advocates of Sun
day band concerts in Honolulu are
adherents of that comfortable,
milk-and-water faith which per-
mits its followers to play fast and
loose with the decalogue for 325
days in the year, but enjoins them
to assume a lenten sanctimony for
the balance of the period.

THE SOUTH AND HAWAII.

The Southern Democrats in the
Congress of the United States are
beginning to realize that they are
deeply concerned in the Hawaiian
question, because of its close SINH
larity to the most important ques-
ton which underlies the social and
political life of the Southern people.
There, as here, the issue is
whether or not the white race, en-
lowed with better brain, character
and education, and holding the
largest part of the wealth of the
country, shall be dominated by
weaker race, which experience
abundantly and sadly shows will
disturb, uproot and finally destroy
good government whenever it has
the political control.
After twenty years of experience
the Northern States of America are
beginning to see the menace to
good government, in the negro suf-
frage of the South.
In spite of the sharp cry of dis
tress from the South, these States
have stolidly refused to believe in
the danger from the black vote. AS
the passions growing out of the war
are dying out, the series Of frightful
object lessons presented all over
the South, in bad government, are
just beginning to produce an effect
on the Northern mind, and to show
that American civilization is in
real peril from this cause.
On several occasions, during the
last few months, Southern newspa-
pers have noticed the attitude of
the whites on these islands toward
the natives, and have commented
on the direct, straightforward man
ner in which they have declared
their determination to retain polit-
ical control over them, in spite of
their majorities, and at the same
time allow them such representa-
.tion as will enable them to be
heard
The Southern whites, to-day,
retain their political control, large
ly, by the use of the shotgun, or
stuffed ballot box. he'situation

orable men hope to secure. the
right results by constitutional and
just methods, and to abolish the
demoralizing policy of force.

had about a mile to construct over
''pahoehoe," where it was nearly impos-
sible to get post down and found, in this
case especially, the Jones Fence was
great saving of labor. There are places in
this fence where the posts are at least 70
feet apart, the space between filled in with
stays. There is no sag to it and it is as
springy as wire mattress. J am confident
that it will turn ordinary stock.
l have some two and half miles more
to construct over a country where wild cat
tie are very plentiful, and as soon as it has
undergone the test there will write you
further. If it will turn the stock on this
part of the land, and l am confident it will,
you can rest assured that it will turn most
anything except a lava flow.
Very truly yours,

Closing Observation-Disclosures Day
Found Dead-A White Boys Crime.

CLIFTON FORCE, June II, 1894.
The closing exercises of the South Cliff

mence tbrongs of anxious people were
seen vending their way to Church in or
der to be sure of access to the exercises.
At 8 o'clock when the curtains went
up one of the largest audiences ever as
sembled on such an occasion greeted the
faithful teacher and scholars. The pro-.
gram consisted of dialogues, orations,
quartettes and May Queen. The pro-
gram was neatly arranged and the chill
dren acquitted themselves in a way
which brought showers of applause
from their many friends and reflected
much credit upon themselves and the la
bors of Mrs. M. A. Sanderson, their faith
full teacher. The patrons with one voice
cordially invited the teacher back to
teach their school again. Mr.. A. ID.
Lewis superint endent of our Sunday
school was suddenly called home to the
bedside of his sick wife. Many were the
regrets of his Sunday school as all ex-
pected his presence on Sunday June 10.

present. The Sunday School from Low

sO-CALLED WHITE REPUBLICANS
They Take Strange Action.

Fort WORTH, Tx. June 13.-In
the State League Republican Con-
vention this morning, by a ruling of
President Robertson's, 1t was decid-
ed that no member of club COM
posed of black and white members
was entitled to recognition in the
convention, whereupon the members
of mixed clubs pulled off their
badges and left the hall. This en-
phasizes the defeat of Quincy yester-
day, and there is a howl among his
followers who denounce the white
leagues In unmeasuFe1 terms. The
league agrees for colored men to or
ganizs strictly colored clubs, which
will be entitled to representation,
but this does not suit the blacks, as
they regard it as drawing the color
line, and they, therefore bolt the
the whole thing.
