DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TWEEDLE-
DEE AND TwEEDLE.DUM.

The Nation in reviewing DR.. E,
B. Underlules, Tragedy of Morant
Bay" which is an account of the
instruction in the island Of ia
maica, and the cruel punishment
inflicted by Governor Eyre, says
"When two races, a stronger and a
weaker one, are brought together, the
only effectual security for peace and
equity is the balance of justice held by
the hand of the superior and impair
tial power. Representative govern
ment in Jamaica was sure to lead to a
strife of races, to the oppression of the
weaker race. The whites, as might
have been expected, got power both
legislative and judicial into their own
hands, and used it in their own inter
ests as race"
The instant the Nation looks
away from the missionary thieves
and pirates" who have, it seems,
taken possession of these islands, it
can take very just views Of the re-
lations of weaker and stronger
races, and show most conclusively
how natural and just it is for the
stronger race to get on top. This
simple, candid and philosophic
spirit is at once disturbed, when
the question about Hawaii is raised.
The stronger race did here just
what it has done elsewhere, but the
Nation undertook, for some reason,
to foretell utter disaster to the rule
of the stronger race here, and, as
member in good and regular stand
ing of the "Omniscent Club" can
not admit that it may have been
in error.
The Nation has nothing to say
about the British pirates and
thieves" who govern Jamaica and
refuse to allow its half million of
population any voice in the govern
ment. 1t is only when Hawaii is
in question that it foams at the
mouth, and it feels dreadfully sorry
over the wickedness of some white
people.

therefore prevent such gatherings,
they are pagans and lunatics and

LILuUeKALANI.

The incidents of the release, by
parole-pardon, of the ex-queen sub
stantislly closes another scene in
the miniature historic drama Of
Hawaii.
Whether the act, urged by some,
if not many, supporters of the Gov
eminent, and finally done by the
Executive, is a wise one is no
longer open to discussion. There
need now be no quarrel with the
fact. Many good and loyal peo-
pie endorse it, many good and loyal
people do not endorse it. When
the actual history of the insurreo-
ton of January 9th is written, and
it has not been written yet, it may
appear tina. those who favor leni-
ency advocate the wisest course.
An honest, impartial discussion of
the character of that event at the
present time would stir up bad
blood among the supporters of the
Republic. So the subject may be
left to future consideration.
While the ex-queen is now only
a citizen, she has it in her power to
do much for her own race, and
much which may command the
respect of the dominant element
here; that is, the white alien races.
Fortunate indeed will it be for her
if she call to herself some wise ad-
wiser, who will recommend her to
follow a few simple rules of con-
duct, which will cost her nothing
but may be of great benefit to her.
self personally, and of decided ben
eft to the people she once ruled
over. Even the unobtrusive exam
pie of the Queen Dowager is not an
unworthy one for her to follow.
No one expects that she should
clearly see the drift of political
events, because she is a Polyne-
sian; but every one can hope that
she will, without anger or malice,
accept the inevitable; that is,
make the best of it. No doubt the
great danger is that bad white ad-
visers will confuse and distract
her. The people who can really
aid her are not anxious to volun-
teer their services. Butexperience
may have taught her that it would
be wise for her to take the pains
to consult persons whom she knows
to be honest and intelligent.

HILo AND THE CHOLERA.

We shall await with anxiety the
reports about the landing of Sheriff
Hitchcock on the island of Hawaii.
The event of the deputy sheriff at
tempting to prevent the landing of
the sheriff, because he may be sin
fected," will amuse the bystanders
atleast. On the whole, we believe
that the sheriff will go up to stay.
The people of Hilo seem to have
lost their heads. The Board of
Health has had the other
islands under consideration, as
carefully as it has had the island
of Oahu. 1t is in a better position
to judge of the best course to take
than those residing in the remote
districts. Divided action is expen-
sive, annoying and unnecessary.
For the people of Hilo to suspect
for moment that their friends
here would allow them to be put in
jeopardy, is in the nature of an in
suit. At the same time, hasty
action may be excused, for several
reasons, but it cannot be justified.
All this may also be said about the
people of Kauai and Maui.

ANTI-CHINEsE LEAGUE.

The people of Wellington, New

BISHOP WILLIS AND CORPORATE w0R-
SHIP.

Bishop Willis again declares, in
published letter, that the Board
of Health have no right to interfere
with the public" recognition of the
Supreme Being, or with public
voice of prayer, and, as we under
stand him, the Lord will not lend
his ear, unless he is worshiped in a
corporate capacity" that is to say,
that private and fervent worship is
good as far as it goes, but that In

his church, in corporate capac-

A SANITARY MEASURE.

Among the many methods of
economically disposing of the
refuse matter, in towns and cities,
which have been tried during the
last few years, the use of peat moss
seems to have had the preference
in Germany. This moss, which is
found distributed over Europe, ex-
lists in large quantities in the
United States. In some places,
when it is compact, it is used for
fuel, as it is in Ireland. In Ger
many, Holland and France it is
dried in an oven, torn up by ma
chinery and packed in bales, and
is valued at about 81 per ton in
Hamburg. Its chief value is its
power of absorption, as it will take
up nine times its own volume of
moisture. 1t has already replaced
straw bedding in the London sta
bles, and is gradually coming into
use in the United States. The
German government consider the
subject of such importance, that
it has established a special bu-
reau for encouraging its use in i'm
proving the sanitary condition of
cities and towns.
If vaults were properly con-
structed in the residences of this
place, and the peat moss, as pre-
pared, were used, there would not
only be no odor, but the refuse
would have a marketable value,
and would be removed without
difficulty. If the system was prop
erly introduced by the Govern
ment, so that it was understood,
some company, certainly some Chi
nese company, would undertake to
construct vaults, and remove the
contents, out of which a considera-
bic profit would be made.
The city Of Tokyo, with its
100000 inhabitants, has no drain
age system. The refuse is received
in earthen pots, and taken by COOL
les to the rice fields. For thou
sand years the rice fields have been
fertilized in this way. So long as
hand labor is cheap the system
may last.
At the present date we have
spent money in suppressing the
cholera, quite sufficient to have
placed good system in operation
in the crowded part of the town.
The problem of sewage is not an
easy one, and most communities
prefer to chang it up" and tackle
something easier. Besides, some
good people think that time given
to such a subject is wasted in
worldly affairs. When they lose
their friends through negligence,
they attribute it to ''the mysteries
Of Providence"

A CORRESPONDENT, whose letter
will be found on another page, sug-
gests that the steamers decline to
carry the mails to ports on the
other islands, unless passengers
are allowed to land. We do not
approve this suggestion. By refer
ence to the civil code it will be
seen that coastiug vessels are by
law required to carry the mails,
under such regulations as may be
prescribed by the Government.

TUESDAY. SEPTEMBER 10, 1895.

THE ADVERTISER, in not desig-
mating the Portuguese as whites, "
followed the example of several
French and, at least, one Of the old
Roman, or Latin writers, who de-
scribed the races of the north Of
Europe as white" in contrast to
the darker races of southern Eu-
rope. The distinction is not an
uncommon one, although not
strictly true.

THE KAwAIAHAO CHURCH.

Hardly year has passed since
it was announced, that the roof
| of the old Kawaiahao Church was
in a dangerous condition from de-
cav, and that it could not be re-
placed without great expense.
Immediately the community
undertook the restoration. Mrs.
Haalelea and her associates, repre-
senting the best element of the
native race, undertook On the one
side, with energy, perseverance and
poetic loyalty to the old church to
supply the means, and, on the
other side, the whites of all nation
alities ably supplemented their
work. Friends arose in every direc-
ton. Men who meyer had entered,
or had rarely entered the church,
contributed generously. Men and
women who did not believe in the
creed preached in it, contributed.
There vas a sentiment that the old
stone structure rose above the
clouds and doctrines, like 2 noun
tain rising above the cloud belts.
Every one in the community had
vested interest and inheritance
in those coral rocks, shaped into
monument representing the gift of
Christian civilization TO the Ha-
waiian people. On those stones was
written the secular as well as the
religious history of Hawaii. They
become, therefore, dual monu-
ment.
. The labor of reconstruction is
now substantially finished and
paid for. The old walls remain,
and over them is a lasting cover
ing against storm and wind, and
within them are the best designs of
modern church architecture. Many
persons would have preferred that
the original simplicity of the inte-
rior Of the building should have
been retained. That it has not
been done must be sincerely re-
GREETED. There is priceless
value in heirlooms, and in
ancient forms. But the day
for criticism has passed, and we
heartily congratulate each other
on the beauty of the restoration.
And we sincerely congratulate Rev.
Henry Parker, because his faith
full, intelligent and self-sacrifcing
work for many years as the pastor |
of the church is appreciated by
natives and whites.
AS the doors of the church are
again opened, it is fitting that there
should be some record and recogni.
ton of the contributions made for
the restoration, without reference
TO creeds. There need be no new
dedication. The dedication of the
early days is sufficient for all time.
There should be public recogui-
ion within its walls of the aid rem
Tered by those who, regardless of
,he seeming obligations of creeds,
ooked only to the needs of this
,rumbling monument of native
growth and saw to it that the needs
we're met. 1t would be a gracious
spectacle if all could stand on
common platform, within its walls,
and make a common testimony"
% the value, and lessons, of this
monument, which may be re-
Jailed hereafter, when the radical
changes of our social and political
life will make the present condi-
