RiraI Pretenders In Hawaii.

Adyices from Honolulu are to the effect
that there is disorder in the ranks of the
leading royalists of the islands. The roy
alists are divided into two camps, one of
which remains true to the cause of her
majesty Liliuokalanl' otherwise Mrs.
Lydia Dominis, while the other is In
favor Of the accession to the throne of the
Princess Kiaulani, or Miss Cleghorn, In
the event of the failure of the annexation
scheme. The Princess Kiaulani is now on
her way to the Islands, and it is said that
her adherents will put up a strong contest
In her behalf should the restoration of the
monarchy become a probability. They
point 10 the fact that the former queen
renowned all claim to the throne some
time ago. while she was In virtual impris-
onment. and following which the Dole gov
eminent gave her liberty. They also as
sert that the former queen promised the
princess that she would not again seek
the throne, but would use her influence to
have the princess made queen.
Partisans Of Liliuokalani, on the other
hand. declare that the remuneration of her
deposed queen under duress. The woman
herself has so stated, and she has abjured
her abdication. 1t seems that she is not
the kind of woman to give up even
poor claim upon anything which is or
may be valuable. She wants to be queen
again, and will make a contest for the
place.
rrvt,. criHriDrr the in
formation of the condition of affairs refer
red to, makes this statement which prob
ably means much: mo matter who
might be the nominal head of the (restored
monarchicaD government, the Caucasian
minority would be the real rulers" 1t
seems that a number of white men have
aligned themselves on the sides OF the two
dusky royal claimants. They are playing
politics to win. There is no chance for
them to get good offices under the Dole
government, and hence they are in favor
of another upheaval which might place
them on top. They do not care
anything about the country, except in so
far as they can make money out of it, and
they are ready for any adventure which
offers a filibustePs chance OF striking
something that pays. Still, they are prob
ably about as good people as those who
have captured the government.
1t is hard to believe that the natives of
the islands were ever the fierce warriors,
head-hunters and man-eaters that we
have read about. Is that story about
Capt. Cook myth? The Hawaiian native
of the period seems to be only about as
fierce as a rabbit.

PhiIadcIphia's southern Trade.

The merchants and manufacturers of
Philadelphia have lately been making en-

volume of that city's trade with the Lat

Heretofore New York has very nearly
monopoiized the trade of the south, and
especially of that part Of the south tribu-
tary to the seacoast. Of late Chicago has
been reaching out for some proportion of
the trade of the southwest with a con-
siderable degree of success; but Philadel-
phia has not made much effort TO enter
into competition to secure a trade In which
she should at least share literally.

1t was found necessary some time ago to
suspend the steamship service between

of their opportunities for trade extension.

Babe of Bethlehem. Their small faces
expressed profound sympathy when they
heard how the Son of God was born in a

see that she was thinking hard.
When, half an hour later, mamma
came to Bessie's bed to kiss her good
night, she found the child pressing the
doll to her bosom and gazing at it with
unutterable affection. AS she stopped
over the bed, Bessie looked up and asked
earnestly: Mamma, amt Gods baby
