merely wish to set forth the entire
freedom from responsibility on the
part of England. President Cleve-
land, in a Message to Congress in
December OF last year, made the
following statement:-"The lawful
Government of Hawaii was over
thrown by process, every step OF
which, it may be safely asserted, is
directly traceable to aud dependent
for its success upon the agency of
the United States, acting through
its diplomatic and naval representa-
tives"
Although there has been fierce
political fight in the United States
over this Hawaiian question, l am
not aware that the foregoing decla-
ration has been repudiated by any
political Party, and certainly it has
never been qualified by President
Cleveland. Whatever the SYM
pathies of this country may be, it
cannot be maintained that it is any
part of our duty to correct by force
the wrongs of other nations for
which we have not to answer. The
friendship between England and the
United States is great, and is becom-
ing more real every year, but it
would not last long if we were to
assume the right to rectify deed
for which the United States so
frankly claims the responsibility.

A CHANGE OF TUNE.

Mr.. Theo. Fl. Davies has written
the following letter to The Stand
ard. His many friends here who re-
member his criticisms OF the affairs
Of 1898 will be somewhat surprised
to notice that the gentleman now
holds that the friendship between
Great Britain and the United States
prevents all interference with the Ha-
waiian Islands by European powers,
in the muddle into which we were
brought, as admitted by Mr.. Davies
through "the agency of the United
States:"

A Living Sacrifice.

This morning by the Kipau, the
Right Reverend the Bishop Of Pano-
polls departed for Molokai. Under
his charge went the Reverend Father
Pamphile and four lay brothers from
the Damien Institute. The reverend
father. who is the brother OF our
late lamented Father Damien, goes
to fulfil his sacred mission of watch
ing over his brothers tomb, as we'll
as to assist in the mission work
among the lepers of Kalawao Three
times has he sat forward on this
sacred duty, but now he is at last
been permitted by Divine Provi-
dence to begin his fraternal and
sodial duties. The four young. men
who go with him are not over twenty
three years of age. Yet their courage
and devotion has permitted them to
be set apart for the self-abnegating
work of caring for the lepers. The
Right Reverend the Bishop will see
them properly installed and then
return to his faithful flock. May
God bless such work OF self-sacri-
fee OF FIVE lives to the inuring and
eternal benefit of our unfortunate
diseased fellow brethren.
More yet remain in the Institute,
who, fired by Father Damien's ex-
emplar, are ready to take up their
cross and give their life work to
alleviate the miseries suffered by the
Molokai lepers.

To the Editor of The Standard.


SIR,-During the past few months
several communication have ap-
peared in The Standard regarding
the recent political changes in Ha-
waii. Some of'your correspondents
are apparently under the belief that
in some way, directly or indirectly,
this country is responsible for the
disasters that have befallen Hawaii;
or that it was the duty of Great
Britain to interfere, either fov the
prevention or for the remedy of
those disasters. Ole correspondent
went so far as to say that Hawaii
owed her discovery, her constitution
and her church to England; and
that this country held, with France,
some sort of protectorate over Ha-
waii.
1t would not be fair for our own
nation to let these statements go
uncorrected, and l therefore beg
your permission to make the follow
ing explanations: Hawaii was dis
covered by Captain Cook in 177S.
She was Christianized by mission
aries from the United States, the
first of whom landed in Hawaii in
1920. The written language and the
constitution OF Hawaii were the
work OF the American missionaries.
The mission sent out by the English
Church arrived long afterwards
and has never attained any such po-
sition as your correspondent implies,
so far as regards either political or
ecclesiastical influence. Further
more no protectorate on the part of
England or France over Hawaii ever
existed. Those two nations entered
into a compact with each other that
neither of them would annex Hawaii,
and they forthwith recognized her
absolute independence, as did also
the United States.
I do not desire to discuss here the
character OF the acts which have
taken place in Hawaii, and which
are sufficiently we'll known. l

Another Fake.

TAMPA, Florida, Nov. 17.-The
steamship Olivette arrived here from
Havana this afternoon. The pas
sengers say they learned in Havana
yesterday that Martinez Campos
had instructed his men not to fire
on the insurgents if it could be
avoided on account of a bargain now
pending between Spain and Cuban
leaders. 1t is told by close friend
of Campos, and is understood in
Havana, that the insurrection will
come to an immediate end, for the
reason that both Gomez and Maceo,
the insurgent leaders, have been
bought by the Spanish Government,
and while the price has not been de-
livered to the sellers, the money for
them is now in Havana.

Honolulu, Oct. S5, 1895.

Honolulu, Oct. S5, 1895.
1t has been demonstrated in
most serious manner during
the late epidemic Of what vital
Importance pure water is to all
human beings. While our me-
dical men have differed in OPT
Mon in regard to the nature
and treatment of the epidemic
which now fortunately is ended,
there has only been one opinion
in regard to the imperative
necessity of having an am
pie supply of pure water
for all purposes. In Homo
lulu the water supply is now
plentiful both for drinking pur-
poses and for irrigation. The
same cannot be said for the
country districts. In many
places it is necessary for the in
habitants to carefully save rain
water in tanks especially where
artesian wells are impossible.
1t has been great help to
people living in the country
that we have introduced the
celebrated Aermotor in these
islands. Many people have
availed themselves of the golden
opportunity to purchase one Of
our galvanized Aermotors, and
they have in all instances eX-
pressed themselves as highly
satisfied with the bargain.
The Aermotor is especially
appreciated because it runs in
the lightest wind. Being geared
back three to one, it starts with
only third Of the load that the
ordinary mill has to contend
with. This enables it to start
and run in a zephyr so light
that all competitors stand idly
by. Again, its lightweight and
perfect bearing enable it to face
up to and get the full benefit of
the breeze. The wheel is so
light and its efficiency so great
that it is an absolute calm in
deed which induces it to stand
still.
The lightweight of the Aer-
motor is a strong point in its
favor. The weight affects the
cost Of transportation; the ease
of handling and erection; the
facility of turning on the tower
to face the wind for work; the
regulation for safety in high
wind; the recovery Of working
position when danger is past;
the sagging Of the tower out Of
shape; the vibration and break
ing of the tower in storm
and consequently the weight.
strength and cost Of a tower and
foundations. The Aermotor
only weighs about two-ffths as
much as the other mills which
do the same work. The great
disparity in weight is in part
made possible by the use of
steel, malleable iron, and the
very best materials throughout,
and explains why so excellent a
niece of work can he turned out

Saws the Electrical Review:

Says the Electrical Review: In
1891 q young electrician, now in
Paris, on looking through Carnegie's
great steel rail plant at Braddock,
Penn, casually suggested that cleo
tricity could be made to operate the
widely separated pieces of machinery
at saving of many thousands year.
Recently Andrew Carnegie visited the
plant for the first time in two years
and saw electricity doing the work.
This improvement, together with
others, makes it possible for eight
men to do the work 500 did in 1891.
