Under the caption OF Comment
on Queen Lii" the writer for the
Washington Star who sulles the
the name Of "Kamehameha" says:
Our latest mail brings reports of
the doings OF Liliuokalani which
must seem deplorable to any friend
OF hers OF the smallest good sense.
One hardly knows what to write
about them. Perhaps the strongest
feeling is q profound compassion
for the poor woman, that she should
be 80 misguided as to entertain that
dsspicable invention that her OPP
ponents here are trying to compass
her death. We have not, perhaps,
been as sorry as we ought to see her
display some folly at Washington,
80 that it might be better under
stood what an impossible person
Mr.. Cleveland had once tried to
reinstate over us. Perhaps we
have been uncharitably glad to have
her illustrate the faithlsssness OF
her character, which we so we'll
know, by giving so transparent a
pretext for repudiating her own un-
solicited abdication. For this last
display of bitter feeling, and revela-
tion to her lower qualities, we can
not lack some sincere regret. 1t is
a pity that she had no sensible
friend to counsel concealment of
such base suspicious.
We recall our early hopes Of
Lydia's goodness, Notwithstanding
her unfortunate family descent. She
was we'll and carefully trained in
childhood by the excellent Mr.. and
Mrs Cooke, in the Royal School for
young chiefs, some fifty years ago,
and later on profited by association
with her sister by adoption, the
noble and pure Bernice Pauahi. But
the evil parental influence and
heredity contributed to the forma-
ton of her character. Her life has
been struggle between the heather
and the Christian tendencies, the
former too often prevailing. The
old heather element is strong with.
in her She is not to be estimated
nor brought to judgement like a
person of civilized anteceGents and
Christian heredity, however grace
fui veneering Of external culture
she may wear. We here do not
Judge and condemn her in that way,
but would strive to cxtenuate her
errors, as we have learned to do
those @, all these weak but gentle
and kindly Hawaiians. 1t is only
painful to witness public display
Of these unhappy tendencies.
Liliuokal ani has some extremely
agreeable qualities. The Polynesians
always had much Hentleness and
sweetness OF manner. The old chiefs
were also stately and courtly, and
we're wont to carry themselves gra-
ciously and becomingly. The later
generation, Lydia included, learned
to add much choice external man
ners, copied from occasional inter
course with British aristocracy and
royalty. No manners can be more
winning than those OF European
royalty, such as we sometimes see
here in passing. Both Kalakaua
and his sister became successful
imitators. But beneath this ex-
terror finish and winsomeness lie
dark and heavy, as more or less in
most men, lower qualities which this
unhappy lady has had the awkward
ness to reveal in the glare OF Wash
ington. Aloha mo! Oh, the pity
Of it. KAMEHAMEHA.

Council Meeting.

The regular meeting of the city
council which should have been held
Monday night, failed for lack Of a
quorum, the councilmen from the
second and third wards remaining
away, while Mayor Biles and the 9TH
er four were present. Those present
adjourned till next Thursday night.
AS there was no quorum, no business
could be done, consequently no bills
were allowed and those having bills
against the city must wait for their
pay until quorum could be had. 1t
is unfortunate, that at this particu-
lar time the old city troubles should
be revived. That times are dull, no
one will deny, but they will certainly
not be improved by reviving old
troubles 1t is to be hoped that the
different elements will get together
in the way of some kind of compro-
mise and get to going along nicely
before great while. We must pull

On Wednesday the above officers of
the G.. A. r. and W. r. G. were in
town and met our local committees
to help further arrangements for the
G.. A. r. encampment which meets
here the last week in April. A COM
mittee meeting was held in sthe par
lors of the Oriental hotel and gener-
al citizens meeting at the Christian
church at night. The crowd at the
church was not all that could have
been expected, yet as this is the first
of the year and our merchants are all
busy invoicing they are eXcusable.
Besides the notice given was not sut1i-
Gent to bring out the numbers that
would otherwise have been there. AS
it was, abouts50 were present and or
ganized by electing Col. Carpenter as
chairman and c. S. Nation secretary

the meeting and expressed some disap-

Col. Whitney, Adjutant Niles, De-
partment President Julia A. Chase,
Col. o. II. Coulter and Others. The
distinguished guests all expressed
themselves as highly tattered by the
attention shown them by the local
committees of the G. A. r. and kind
red organizations. A motion was
made and carried that committee
of five be appointed to serve from
now until after the encampment, with
power to appoint subcommittee and
take full charge of the arrangements
Of the encampment. Another motion
was made and carried that the mayor
Of Chanute appoint two of the COM
mittee, each of the e. A. II. posts one
and the S, of VS.. the fifth member of
the committee. Remarks were made
by L. B. Keifer, d. e. McClelland and
Others, all expressing the belief that
the business men would respond mob
ly to the call for funds to make the
preliminary arrangements for the en-
campment. The meeting then ad-

About a score of the old friends and
neighhors of Senator Farrelly called
on him Wednesday night to say good
bye before he left for Topeka to fill
the office of senator for Neosho and
Wilson counties. Games of different
kinds were played and the evening
pleasantly spent. An excellent sup
per was served by Mrs. Farrelly, who
knows just what is good and how to
prepare it. At a late hour the guests
departed all feeling that an evening
had been pleasantly and proftably
spent.

they belonged to the church, if they
do not.-G. w. Stafford Chairman of

But Sullivan didn't know when to
quit. After his hair began to turn gray,
after he had lived a fast life for years,
he was challenged by James J. Corbett,
of California. Corbett had Worsted the
best fighters, was only twenty. six and
powerful and active. He proved two
quick for old John Sullivan and he
was defeated in the twenty. first round.
Later on Corbett knocked Mitchell, the
English champion, out in less than six
rounds. But he didn't have sense
enough to retire. Bob FItzsimmons,
the Australian champion, insisted on
an encounter. He is nearly as tall as
Corbett, but much lighter, weighing
about 40 when trained, CorbetS weigh
ing about 1876. Fitzsimmons was we'll
known as hard hitter. His powers Of
endurance are wonderful, being simply
q mass of bone and hard muscle.
Corbett got in more hard blows than
Fitz5immons, but he oon tired, and,
watching his chance, Fitzsimmons
planted a powerful blow just below
Corbett's heart and the work was done.
Probably no man can hit Corbett's
head or face effectively enough to whip
him, but Fitz9immons knew that and
was equal to the occasion, and hence

SOME THINGS TO CONSIDER.

The Board of Agriculture will meet
in this city Tuesday afternoon. We
presume that a Commissioner Of Agri-
culture and other persons elective by
this board will be selected. For four
years this country has been cursed
with a Secretary of Agriculture, ap-
pointed by Cleveland, who was not a
farmer, and who was totally unfit for
such a position. We hope the Board
of Agriculture will elect men who are
fitted for the various positions, men
who have walked between the pillow
handles; in other words, practical, in
telligent farmers. Political quacks
may do for some positions. At any
rate, we have to bear with them. But
those filling positions in the Agricul-
tural Department should be made up
of men in sympathy with and who
know the needs of agriculture. Politi-
cal quacks are aspiring to all these po'
sitions. There ought to be some slate
smashing in this matter.
