THE FAMILY COMPACT ="

This term is in very common use
here, and it appears in much Of the
correspondence sent from this place to
the Mainland.
1t is the term of reproach used here
by the outs" to designate the forum
ate, but wicked "ins.' It corresponds
with the term "rascals," which is in
wide use in the States, a word that
designates those whom the people have
put into office, by a majority of their
votes AS soon as some persons are
comfortably fixed in office, those who
by the action of an inscrutable Provi-
dence are left out, being instructed by
their reason and especially self-inter-
ests, feel that the occupants Of office
become rascaIs by the mere act Of TAX
ing office and therefore the watch
word, turn the rascals out" is shout
ed from the political house tops.
These words have not yet been ac-
climated here. Those who desire to
use them were largely instrumental in
selecting the present officers, and
shrink just at present from shouting
the word rascal" 1t is kept in re-
serve, however for an opportune mo-
ment.
The family compact is an indefin-
tie term. There are few of the native
born that belong to it. There is little
family influence in it. Strictly speak
ing it means ''the men in power, ="
without reference to their social rela-
tons. Whenever a man gets a gov
eminent billet" he regards the family
enlightened arrangements that can be
made If he cannot get it, he natural
ly regards an office held under the COM
pact as an asylum for a professional
rascal, who will bring the country to
ruin.
Since the founding of the American
Republic, the confident prediction OF
the men of one party has been, in all
presidential elections, that the election
of the candidate of the other party
would inevitably result in financial and
political disaster. But there has been
an election every four years, and the
millions whose candidate has been de-
feated have seen the nation steadily eX-
pand in resources, in glory, and in
empire.
The use of the word family COM
pact" here is only the peeping of the
tender little political chickens who are
breaking through the egg shells. When
they get larger the young BOOSTERS will
Justify crow "rascals" instead.
Even our climate will not modify the
natures of men.

THE ANGLICAN CHURCH.

The annexation of the Islands will
in time alter the connection of the Es-
tablished Church of England with the
people of these Islands. BY the COM
ity of churches, the Protestant Epis-
copal Church of America will replace
it, and the church organization will be
a part of the diocese of California. In
terviews with the Bishops of Califor-
MIA lately published, indicate that the
matter will be carefully considered in
. the convention which assemblies in
Washington in October next, and that
it will result in a most beneficial
change, is hardly to be doubted.
We have before us a copy of the
American Quarterly Church Review,
CEpiscopaD published in 1865, which
contains a most interesting, but not
impartial, statement of the establish
ment of the Anglican Church here in
1861.
The object of the essay was to prove
that the Congregational mission to
these Islands was failure, and that
the heather in these parts could only
be saved by and through the English
Church. 1t charges the missionary of
those days, especially Rev. VIM. Rich
ards. Rev. Richard Armstrong, d. D.,
anu DR.. Gerritt p Judd" with exchang-
ing missionary for political work,
and asserts that the American Board
of Missions in Boston gave up the mis-
sion here because it was a failure.
1t must be admitted that the Ameri-
can missionaries did not relish the
appearance of rivals in their own field,
as it was an open declaration that their
work was a failure. Some of them, at
least, had declared that they would CO.
operate with the right kind" of Eng
lish missionaries. But when the Eng
lish Bishop arrived in 1862, he very
clearly declared that the system of
Congregationalism was Inadequate to
the spiritual wants of the Hawaiian
nation His attitude at once, and nat
urally, provoked fierce antagonism and
a war of creeds which did not advance
the common cause in which both par
ties should have been united.
Thirty-six years have passed, and as
the American branch of the English
Church will soon be established here,

vided into two groups by broad channel
and contain total ARA of All square
miles.
The northern group (GanD consists of ten
Islands, now uninhabted.. Five islands. of
which four are inhabited, form the southern
group. These are Guahan Spanish Guajan),
Rota. Aguigan, Tinian and Saypan On

the group Is the only town Of the colony,
San 1gnacio de- Agana, and the fortified har-
Dor of Umata- This is the place at which
the American flag was probably raised
The general surface of the southern ISL
ards is mountainous, but far inferior in ele-
walton to that of the northern group though
the attitudes do not exc eed 26OO or . 100
feet.
The present population of the Ladrones
consists of descendants from the original
inhabitants. called by the Spaniards Cha
morros, of legal settlers from the Philip
pines. and of a mixed race formed by the
union Of the Spaniards and the Chamerros.
The number of the original inhabitants pre-
vious to the subsection of the islands by the
Spaniards in 1G6S has been variously esti-
mated at from 10000 to 6OO0O
The Spanish conquest and the forcible
suppression Of the natives reduced their
numbers to such an extent that in 1741 the
population was only 1916. From that date
however, the population began to increase.

ing the defeat of the Spanish force in the
Ladrone Islands.
No doubt exists in official circles that the
Charleston has by this time reached Qua
jan. During the run from San Francisco
to Honolulu the cruiser made an average
of 300 miles a day, and on one or two oc-
casions made $50 miles. Proceeding at her
average rate-a rate which the Picking will
easily be able to maintain-it is estimated
by the officials that she should have made
the 5000 miles separating the Hawaiian Is
lands and Guajan in ten days. If, as is be-
lieved, she left Honolulu on May 81. she has
thus covered the distance, and by this time
has taken possession of the islands
1t is not believed that the American force
mad much difficulty in taking Guajan The
Spaniards had two small forts at that
point, and just before the war broke out
sent a lew guns and troops to reinforce the
garrisons These are not believed to have
been large enough to have given any trou-
BILE to the American forces.

''If they're Rich's
Shoes they're proper
Ten=tWO F..

Scarcely a wedding of much
importance takes place that
we do not supply the footwear
for the trousseaux. All the
dainty shades of satin and kid
slippers in stock-triple the va
riety shown elsewhere. Novel,
} scarce shades to match gowns
made to order in few days,
and no extra charge made for it.
1t was.a fortunate day for you
when "Rich's" opened this
store. for until then it was nee
essary to send to Philadelphia
or New York for the ultra
styles.
The long-looked-for event
in the young mans and young
woman's life-those happy
commencement days when life
really begins-have arrived.
We have fitted out nearly all
the graduates of those colleges
and academies whose COM
mencements have so far taken
place, and we're ready with just
the proper styles-to fit others.
No stone has been left unturned
to make the assortment better
than it has ever been.
Every novelty in linen or
canvas shoes that has the slight
est claim to popularity or sty-
lishness is here-and we're con-
stantly adding to the showing.
} But linen and canvas shoes are
not the only sort of footwear
you want for wear during the
; summer. There are the heavy
shoes for mountain climbing
for lakeside and seaside wear
for yachting and golfng. All
these are to be had herein
fact this is the only stock
} worthy of mention in the city.
Not a day passes that we do
not receive mail orders for foot
wear from people in distant
cities. We are particularly
busy fitting out the naval and
military officers at Key West
and Tampa. The result is just
as satisfactory to them as if we
fitted them right here in the
} store, for we can assure per-
feet fit.
