The appointment OF Mr. W. H.
Halstead as Magistrate OF the Wal
luku District Court will be favora-
bly, received by the citizens OF Maui,
At the same time there is great
kick coming, because some OF the
subordinates OF the Minister OF
Public instruction suddenly have
resurrected the "oaths." Many Ha-
walians who have the support OF
their countrymen are suitable for
Government offices. Many OF them
refuse, however, to take the so.called
P. G.'s oath. Why, dear Dole,
should Hawaiian born men or
women be compelled to swear ale
glance to the Government Of their
own country. They do not dispute
the existence OF Mr.. Dole's dc facto
government. But they do object to
go around taking oaths whenever a
change of Government happens.
Mr.. Dole has sworn allegiance to
half dozen rulers OF Hawaii. He
has violated every oath aud thereby
he has placed oaths at cheap pre-
MUM. If the Dole regime really
means business let the oath re-
quirement be dropped and Sc.
lect for an Office the most suitable
man. The person who takes office
under Mr.. Dole's Government will
perform the duties pertaining to the
Office. No oath is needed.

The INDEPENDENT is forced to the
conclusion that great discourtesy
has been paid to the Ka Makaaipana
by the Bulletin and Robert Wilcox
in regard to the publication Of the
Pedigree of the Kamehmehss "
We are sure that our contemporary,
had it thoroughly understood the
facts, would have credited the Ha-
waiian newspaper, instead of tech
nically lending itself to an act Of,
what is termed in other countries,
literary piracy.

That day lives in the memories Of
all interested in honesty Of purpose
aud more especially in the minds of
Hawaians who will never forget the
following words spoken by their
King; "Where are you, Chiefs, peo-
pie and commons from my ancest ors
and people from foreign landsl

l am in perplexity by reason of diff

The world has no further use for
those who, under the mercantile
missionary garb live lives OF outside
piety, but in the sight Of Heaven are
only whited sepulchres. Most EN-,
phatically Hawaii-nei does not want
them. There is no fear Of a martial
revolution, but the next election
will tell the tale of nations wrongs
and the nations vindication, in spite
of voices being throttled and the
electorate mutilated.

Mr.. Heinrich Martin Won Holt has
been gazetted as Commissioners OF
Public Instruction. The many
friends of the genial Commissioner
has been wondering what in holt
the appointment means. We are
pleased to state that the Office OF
Commissioner of Public Instruction
is not to be connected with the
duties Of a ringmaster of circus or
trainer OF horses. The Minister
Of Public Instruction tells us that
the appointment Of Heinrich Won
Holt is to be described simply as
one OF plain ordinary member of
the Board of Education. Now, we
feel extremely relieved aud we hasten
to congratulate the Board of Educa-
tion on its latest acquisition. Next!

The Governments have passed
judgment upon Dole, Cooper, Smith
and our rulers generally, and if our
private Information is reliable, the
verdict is as unfavorable to the Re-
public as it is to annexation under
Mckinley. 1t is only waste OF
time for Annexation Clubs and
American Leagues to expend their
oratory and coin in trying to fool
the American people, for they say
we have done wrong to the Ha-
waiian people which must be righted,
If the Hawaiians, or the mixed vote
of a representative electorate are per
mitted to select their form of Gov
ernment, we will accept the decision.

In another column we reprint an
editorial from the San Francisco
News Letter, the organ OF Spreckels
which seems to indicate that Mr..
Serene e. Bishop is not always right
when he does the prophesying bust
ness for Hawaii-nei. Spreckels has
evidently no use for Mr.. Dole's Ha-
waiian Government. In fact, he has
no reason to be friendly towards the
men who traduced him and through
their unscrupulous hirelings even
threatened his life. But how will
the mercantile community of Homo
lulu feel when Spreckels gets in his
deadly work and the islands become
boycotted by the great steamship
company owned by the Spreckels

On November 28, 1843, the gov
ernments of England and France
(Victoria and Louis consum-
mated the act of Independence by
mutually agreeing that "taking into
consideration the existence in the
Sandwich Islands OF a government
capable of providing for the regu-
larity Of its relations with foreign
nations, have thought it right to
engage reciprocally to consider the
Sandwich Islands as an independent
State, and never to take possession,

a protectorate, or under any other
form, of any part of the territory of
which they are composed"

INFLUENCE OF GLASS ON WINE.

dence. We are not alluding to the in
fiuence Of light shining through TASKS
and its action ON the substance con-
tanned, but the direct chemical reaction
occurring within the glass and the ma
terial within the flask.
Very recently the following case oc-
CURED in France: A wealthy retired
merchant bought lot of very costly
and rare wine in casks, samples Of the
wine from each cask being given him by
the wine merchant. The wine was de-
livered, and the new owner proceeded to
have 1t racked off and bottled. Some
time afterwards some of the wine was
brought to the table, and on tasting it
the host detected a strange, unpleasant
taste, which was also noticed by the
guests. A fresh bottle was found to be
similarly affected, and bottle after bot
tie was opened with the same result.
An examination of the stock in the eel
lar developed the fact that every bottle
of the recent purchase was spoiled. A
suit was brought against the wine mer-
chant, who declared that he had deliv-
cred the article exactly according to the
fnrnfGhp1 t..t,
these latter they were found in excel
lent condition.
It's unnecessary to go into details, but
during the course of the action of the
law some of the bottles were produced
in court, when it was found that the
glass had become opaque. The bottles
were handed over to chemist, along
with one of the lot purchased for bot

used. This is what the chemist found
in the glass of the unused bottle: Silicic
acid 52.4, potash and soda A. lime 80 l.,
argillaceous matter, iron, etc, Ill. In
the examination of the bottles that had
been used, while the silicic acid and
argillaceous material remained con-
slant, or nearly so, the lime, potash and
soda were very much diminished, and it
was made evident that they had passed
into the solution, forming compounds
with the acid ingredients of the wine,
decomposing the latter and rendering

ST. PETERS EVE.


Pope Leo Goes to Pray nj the Tomb eS
the Chief Apostle.
From time immemorial the well con-
tanning the marble staircase which
leads down to the tomb of st. Peter
has been called the Confession" The
word, l believe, is properly applied to
the altar-rail, from the ancient prac-
tice of repeating there the General Con-
fession Immediately after receiving the
communion, a custom now somewhat
modified. But may be wrong in CIV
ing this derivation. Indeed, a mar
BILE balustrade follows the horseshoe
shape of the well, and upon it are placed
95 gilded lamps, which burn perpetual
ly There is said to be no special sig
nificance in the number, and they pro-
duce very little effect by daylight.
But on the eve of ST. Peters day, and
perhaps at some other seasons, the pope
has been known to come down to the
church by the secret staircase leading
into the Chapel of the Sacrament, to
pray at the apostles tomb. On such
occasions few great candlesticks with
wax torches are placed on the floor of
the church, two and two, between the
chapel and the confession. The pope,
attended only by few chamberlains
and noble guards, and dressed in the
customary white cassock, passes swift
ly along in the dim light and descends
the steps of the gilded gate beneath the
high altar. A marble pope kneels there
too, Plus VI, OF the Braschi family,
his stone draperies less white than
Pope Leo's cassock, his marble face
scarcely whittier than the living pontiff's
alabaster features.
Those are sights which few are priv
ileged to see. There is a sort of GEN.
tralization of mystery, II one may
couple such words, in the private pil-
grimage of the head of the church I'd

might, would follow Leo XIII. down
those marble steps, and 200 1000, 900
voices would repeat the prayer he says
alone.
Many and solemn scenes have been
acted out by night in the vast gloom Of
the enormous church, and if events do
not actually leave an essence of them

yet the knowledge that they have hap
