dead in an alley back of the Pacific
house, jefferson City.
An investigation developed the fact that he
died from excessive drinking. At one time he
was one of the most prominent political figures
In Missouri, but his unfortunate habits
during the past twenty-five years re-
duced him to a wreck. His political
career began in 1854. when he held the
position Of chief clerk in the office Of state
register of lands under the late Allen 2. Rich
ardSon. He was acknowledgement Of the state
under Gov. Sterling Price. and the present
state armOry building was constructed while
he was holding the office. During the war he
amaSSed money in private business enter

DC not say that for many OF these things
the university can wait. 1t has waited twenty
or thirty years already. Besides. when you
say the university can wait, you do not mean
that the curators or the faculty can wait: you
mean that the students can wait. But can
they wait; can those who are now at CO.

you to equip their laboratories. build

TOPICS OF 7HE DAY.

While our epidemic was with us
Bishop Willis said that the order to
close the churches made by the
Board of Health was comparable
to the ancient Papal Interdict. He
further said as quoted by S E.
Bishop in the Friend:
"For an order so unprecedented,
so unconstitutional, | fail to find any
authority except in the SIC Uolo, sic
jubeo' of Mr.. W o. Smith. Perhaps
Mr.. Smith is of opinion that this
community will graciously submit
to papal usurpations when they pro-
coed from New England Puritanism.
Ii 80 he needs to be reminded that
the Christian people of this city are
not all stepped in Puritanism How
little the Honolulu Puritan cares
for the Christian religion was pub
licly demonstrated in January last
when the worship of Almighty God
was suspended in the Central Union
Church, and that edifce converted
into a barracks and mess-room. But
all the Christians here are not Puri-
tan. There are those to whom it is
the greatest privation at the present
time to have an interdict put upon
the ministration of religion"
That reverend gentlemen com.
ments as follows:
"The above reference is to the use
made OF the at the time Of an insur-
rection, with which Bishop Willis
sympathised. 1t is to be regretted
that political animosity should be
thus obtruded at time when all
parties are working together so
earnestly and cordially for the COM
mon safety. Papal interdicts for
babe all ministrations of religion.
The Board Of Health prohibited
only public assemblies, leaving all
private ministrations untouched,
such as the Holy Communion, SOL
emnization of matrimony, funerals,
etc, which Papal interdict for
babe. That comparison does not
seem to have proceeded from tenn
perate state of mind"
Whether Bishop Willis "sympa-
thised" with the instruction we
don't know. And we have never
heard or even seen any evidence of
it. But it is of a piece with S. E.
BIS mind to try and prejudice the
case by asserting that he did. And
as in the following paragraph he
classes the celebration of the "Holy
Communion" with private ministra-
tions it is probable he is equally
ignorant in both cases.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1895-10-25

Says the Reverend Editor of the
Friend s. E. Bishop, of much
notoriety in Honolulu, in regard
to the contributions to the Ha-
waiian Relief Society:
About $4,000 was promptly sub
5cribed for the good work. $4,000
were in sums of from 5000 t> $500.
While the greater part was given
by supporters of the Republic,
who form the great majority of
our business men, three leading
men of the other party contri-
buted $500 each. Thus again was
shown an absence of partisan
spirit, as was to be expected.
We deprecate this attempt to
bring politics into the affair. But
as S. e. b. has done it we will
endeavor to correct his misstate-
ments. Government officials from
President Dole down (who con-
tributed $500 to G.. G. Porter, sec
rotary OF the Foreign Office (who
contributed $l) drawing an aggre-
gate of $4,000 per annum in
salaries from the Republic con-
tributed total of $127 out of
over $4,000 collected Supporters
of the Royalist cause, when there
was one to support, contributed
$4,000 between 10 of them, in sums
ranging from 800 to $500, without
counting the numerous small sub
scriptions. In fact it is said one
small tradesman, not long started
in business, and his wife between
them, contributed $50 to the fund
and numerous other examples
might be pointed out. More than
two thirds of the fund was con-
tributed by alleged Royalists and
sympathizers; and the men and
women who have fattened on the
Hawaiian were conspicuous by
their absence from the list.
