MoNKEYING WITH PRINCIPLES

The INDEPENDENT is informed aud
verify believes, because OF the con-
gruity Of the action, that "the best
government these islands ever had,"
desiring au expression Of public APP
proval of its policy in dealing with
the Japanese question, has circulat-
ed or caused to be circulated paper
for signatures signifying approval.
Having violated its treaty obliga-
tions and being called to an ac-
counting, and not being quite sure
OF the righteousness OF it's case aud
desiring a backing, hence the paper
and its signatures.

A Splendid Parade, Appropriate

On Saturday last progressive
Honolulu again excelled all previous
Efforts in the commemoratiou OF
Memorial Day, and the G.. A. h. and
their associates 10 arms nobIy dis
charged their duty to those who
have joined the greater aud grander
army now on the eternal shores.
The parade was ably managed
throughout without any hitch to
mar The spectacular effects or to tax
the patience OF the onlookers. The
matching was ,xcellcnt throughout,
aud the solidity OF the trained forces
of tho United States seemed to add
spirit and compactness to our own
little army OF horse aud foot, volun
teers and regulars, military aud
civilians. The services at the ceme-
teries were impressive aud solemn
and we'll conducted, and the mem
orial address Of Comrade Col. g. f.

The streets along the line Of

points, for nearly every store and
place of business was closed during
the hours of the parade, and every
flagstaff had its colors lowered to
half-mast. The order OF the pro-
cesson was as follows:

Our "best goveInment" and its
supporters should go slow, for they
have treaty that is threatened
with a short cut to abrogation. AS
they are all eminently pious people
they. must have some acquaintance
with an Invocation which might
read: "That justice we to others
show that justice show to u.s." II
Hawaii may violate its treaty Of
amity and commerce with Japan
why may not the United States
abrogate its treaty of commercial
reciprocity with Hawah2 Hawaii
claims that the immigration Of
Japanese into Hawaii threatens the
social and political economies OF
Hawaii; while the United States
claims that a continuance OF the
reciprocity treaty is raid upon its
Treasury which, if continued, works
a wrong to the citizen taxpayers Of
the United States. You are mon
keying with principles, Mr. Dole.

AN exchange says Learn to laugh.
A good laugh is better than medicine.
Learn how to tell a story. A we'll
told story is welcome at all times.
Learn to keep your own troubles to
yourself. The world is too busy to
care for your ills and SORROWS. Learn
to stop croaking. If you cannot see
any good in the world, keep the bad
to yourself. Learn to hide your
Teins and aches under pleasant
smile. No one cares to hear whether
you have the earache, headache or
rheumatism. Don't cry. Tears do
we'll enough in dime novels, but they
are out of place in real life. Learn
to meet your friends with smile.
The good humored man or woman is
always welcome. but the dyspeptic
or hypochondriac is not wanted any
where, and is nuisance as we'll.

NUMBER IA.

A CHURCH STORY.-Not very
many years ago, in country church
in the west of England, tho rector,
preaching with great earnestness for
home missions took for his text,
Feed Me with Food Convenient for
Me-" AS he came down from the
pulpit, we'll content with the effect
his eloquence had produced on the
congregation, the disturbing thought
struck him that he had made no ar
rangement for the collection (sure to
he liberal one on this occasion.)
AS he passed through the chancel, he
whispered hurriedly to an Intelligent
choir boy, ." Go into the vestry tako
the plate you will find on the table,
hand it round to the congregation,
and then bring it to me-"
The boy departed on his errand,
and the rector took his place within
the communion rails and gave out
the offertory hymn.
The last words of this had hardly
died away when the boy stood before
him plate of biscuits i'm his hand,
and an apologetic expression on his
chubby face.
Please, SIR" he explained, in an
audible voice, "I've handed them
all round to everybody, and nobody
won't take noneu"

HIS ANSWER. - When John
Quincy Adams was eighty years old,
narrates the Lynn Item, he met in
the streets of Boston an old friend,
who shook his trembling hand and
said:
"Good morning! And how is
John Quincy Adams to-day"
"Thank you," was the ex-Presi-
dents answer, "John Quincy Adams
himself is well, sir; quite well, I
thank you. But the house in which
he lives at present is becoming di-
lapidated. 1t is tottering upon its
foundation. Time and seasons
have nearly destroyed it. It's roof
is pretty well worn out. It's walls
are much shattered, and it trembles
with every wind. The old tenement
is becoming almost uninhabitable,
and l think John Quincy Adams
will have to move out Of soon, but
he himself is quite we'll, sir, quite
we'll"
With that the venerable sixth
President of the United States
moved on, with the aid of his staff.

THERE was reStaurant-keeper
who was once employed to write the

Yesterday couple of young fell
