Another Hawaiian Lie.

1t is next to impossible to get the
truth about Hawaii. The little
clique OF missionaries from New
England control the avenues of in
formation, and only what pleases
them and helps their cause can find
its way to the outside world. Some
time ago the New York Tribune had
a long letter from correspondent
who was travelling in that home of
loot and leprosy. In the course Of
his journeyings this correspondent
met and interviewed Mr.. j. b. Ather-
ton, president of the Eva Sugar
Company. Mr.. Atherton halls from
New England, OF course. He has re-
sided for forty years in Hawaii He
told the Tribune correspondent that
on his plantation men Of all nation
alities were employed. There are
Chinese, Japanese, Portuguese, ma
tive Hawaiians, Germans, Ameri-
cans and English. ave have he
said, "a public school for the chill
dren with a kindergarten depart
ment, and we have built a church,
which is open to all denominations
Sometimes it is a Catholic service
for the Portuguese, though many Of
the Portuguese are going over to
the Protestant faith; sometimes
Congregational, sometimes service
in the Japanese language, some
times in the Chinese, but to all it is
equally free like the school. The
church aud school on the Eva plan.
tation are worth all the money ex-
pended, if for nothing else than the
tone and moral strength given to
the little community out there"
Now this statement bears the
stamp OF sincerity and earnestness.
1t breathes the spirit Of "non-sect-
arianism," which is New England
product, il we are to credit the New
England bigot and prevarcator.
There is an off hand declaration of
liberality, with an incidental asser-
ton Of Protestant gains among the
Portuguese population. Mr.. Ather-
ton does not boast of his proves as
a missionary, He merely makes a
statement Of fact. Who would be
base enough to accuse this broad.
minded non-sectarian New England
gentleman of bigotry or falsehood?
Yet behind this seeming frankness
turks the characteristic dishonesty
and untruthfulness Of the New
England missionary in Hawaii.
The San Francisco Monitor sent
the Tribune article to Bishop Ro-
pert, 10 whose jurisdiction Mr. Ath-
erton's property is located. That
prelate has written to the Monitor
to say that no Catholic services have
ever been held in the church on the
Eva plantation. So Mr.. Anterior
uttered falsehood at the very he
ginning OF his statement. Bishop
Ropert further writes that Mr.. Ath
erton carries on persistent crusade
against the Catholics, and uses hi
power as an employer, as well as hi
money, to proselytize the Portu
guese workmen. A few venal mem
bers of his crew have fallen victims
to his wiles and his brides,
Aud so the highly-colored pictur
of liberality and non-sectarianisn
painted by the Tribune correspond
emit from Mr.. Atherton's statement
is proven to be a transparent lie

Marriage Is Happfcst, Tt Ia Claimed,
IL the Wife Ne Senior.
Everyone has his own idea as to what
will constitute happy marriage, but
there il one point on which nearly all
agree the wife must not be older than
the husband, is the conclusion Of a
writer.
People who look complacently on the
spectacle of girl Of 16 or Is marrying
o man twice her age are ready to de-
clare II proclamation OF the marriage
altar IL the bride is q few years older
than the bridegroom. It would be curi-
Gus study In sociology to trace this
prejudice to Its source. A prejudice 1t
undoubtedly is, for some Of the happiest
marriages knoWnto the world have been
those In which the wife was the older OF
the two.
Everyone who knows his Boswell
knows the extraordinary deyotion of
johnson to the fat, ugly widow, whose
manners were execrable and who was
nearly tWiceh bis age. so the spiteful biog-
raphers say. He knows, too, how happy
sTettys made Pohnson, and what q grief
her death was to the great man.
The marriage OF Margaret Fuller and
Count d'ossoli was brilliant success
In point Of happiness, though sadly
brief. Margaret was seven years older
than her husband, and refused him sew
eral times on this ground, but his devo-
tion aud persistency oyercame her re-
luctance, and the result OF the marriage
fulfilled her dream of such happiness.
Il is said that all who saw them to-
gether were struck by the loverlike
fondness and exquisite Difference Of
p'Osaoli's manner toward the plain
