\ Bishops Bitterness.
GA word about the Anglican Bishop
Willis. 1t is reported that he bitterly
denounced the order to close the
churches at the outbreak Of the chol-

eyes. Bishop Willis has always
been exceedingly bitter against the
Provisional Government and against
the present Government, and he has
been OutspOken in his bitterness. But
even with his feeling / do not really
see how he could have spoken so bit
terly about the closing of the churches
as an ordinary use of power. 1t was
done Is a measure Of safety, especially
in the interest of the native Hawaii
ans, TO whom the scOurGe Is confined.

1t will be interest
ing to know that Mr.. Castle, himself
the son of a missionary, is imbued
with much of the missionary spirit.
He has for many years occupied the
position of superintendent of the Sun
day school connected with the oldest
native church on the islands, and has
long been an earnest laborer among
the native Hawaiians. He speaks
their language fuently, and is exceed
