To the many TROUBLES which
await the new governor of the Ha-
waiian Islands, has been added a
diplomatic" question with France.
The breach Of contract by the Ha-
waiian Government with st. Louis
College will not pass by without a
protest. The United States have
evidently stolen hornets nest. The
claims for damages advanced by
Japan, Great Britain, Germany,
Greece, Denmark, Sweden, and
France must be settled. Would it
not be wise for Mr.. Dole and his adj
visers to "settle" at once by CON-
promise before ugly complications
arise?

We cannot credit the report that

down of the Hawaiian flag, which
yet floats over the Palace, by twelve

Editor Armstrong has become
quite annoyed and very witty be-
cause Bishop Willis considers it i'm
proper and immodest for girls to
appear in boys clothes and for wo.
men to use the garments generally
considered as belonging to the male
sex. Bishop Willis may be old
fashioned in his views, but we fail
to see why he should be subjected
to vulgar ridicule because he, in his
Diocesan Magazine, expresses his
views, and because he wears the
dress prescribed by the heads of the
Church which he serves. The critic
OF Bishop Willis may have had more
experience in regard to matters con-
nected with the "dress" or sun
dress" of females. The Bishop has
not had the advantage Of dancing
the cancan in Paris at the expense
of the taxpayers of Hawaii, or study
ing "ankles and lingery" in Vienna
or ogling the "chippies" in Berlin
The Bishop has not even been fur
nished with public funds to study
the garments and manners of the
girls sat No. 8" in Yokohama.
He has simply had the misfortune
of knowing his Bible and trying to
live up to the prescripts of that
good book, which even Mr.. Arm
strong's father was supposed to con-
slider standard work. But that
was long before Nevin became a
scoffer and "blooded boy"
