4 GREAT CHTRCH 70 NORE.

That sturdy Champion at once of ecclesias-
tica orthodoxy and political rascality. The
New-York Sun" having crashed the religious
press into nothingness by the vallan. use of a
weapon first employed by Samson, Is now
directing It's attention 10 the Presbyterian
Church. Or rather, we ought 10 say. TO what
was once the Presbyterian Church, for it shows
pretty conciusively that there is no longer any
such thing as the Presbyterian Church. 1t be-
Gan operations on this new line last Tuesday
In an article commenting on the resignation Of
the Rev DR.. John Hall. After declaring that
DR.. Halls resignation was brought about by
certain influences, in other words that il was not
DR. Halls own free act, il went on 10 say that
they uhe members OF Or. Halls church, are
really Presbytcrans no longer" This is sufii-
Clently startling. for the Fifth Avenue Presby-
terian Church Is usually ranked as true blue in
its Presbyteransm.
But In Fridays issue OF Mr. Platts Sunday
school organ this sweeping statement is modI-
fed, and we are told that the only unbelievcrs
are the ruling elders. who want 10 get rid Of
Presbyterian. and because. also OF their in
creasing desire for the Joys OF the world" or
course, this was dcplorabe enough: but after
ALL It did not indicate any general iniidclity in
the Presbyterian Church. A falthlcss set OF
ruling elders In a particular congregation can
be- easily got rid Of and the integrity Of the
faith vlndlcated. But an editorial in yester-

TIE PRESIDENT OF HAWAII.

The President Of the Hawaiian Republic De-
comes to-day the guest Of the United States, IN
circumstances impressive and unique. Ihis
country has not, for obvious and not discredit-
able reasons been visited as frequently by
heads of other States as have the lands or
Europe In fact only twice has 1t been thus
visited. once by the Emperor Of Brazil, who
came incogn!to. and was thus not the ofhclal
guest OF the Nation and once by King Kala-
kaua. one of Mr. Doe's predecessors In the
headship of the Hawaiian Nation. But never
before has this country. and indeed, seldom
has any land, received such a visitor on such
mission as that on which Mr.. Dole has come.
Mr.. Dole Is not travelling incognito. He
comes openly and officially. He comes as the
President of Hawaii de jure we'll as de facto.
He comes moreover as the chosen representa-
tive Of the Hawaiian people. II Is idle-it is
worse than idle, 1t Is disngenuous-to attempt
TO DENY or to ignore that fact. 1t is folly and 1t Is
an insult to the Hawaiian people. to say that nc
and his comrades are mere usurpers, holding
their places by force and tyranny against the
wish OF the naticn. A dozen or a hundred or
n thousand men do not thus overawe and op-
press a hundred thousand In these days. There
IS no important evidence Of disaffection toward
him or toward his policy. The attempt or a
knot Of selfshly interested aliens TO organize
an anti-annexation demonstration In the Islands
was an ignominious failure. And even the chair
man of the Ant-annexaton Committee admits
that the Dole Government is good and salts
factory one. which he would be we'll pleased TO
see perpetuated. SO all the 'usurpcr' twaddle
NAV as we'll be laid on the dustiest OF shelves
at once. Mr. Dole is President Of Hawaii by
virtue Of the consent Of the people OF Hawaii,
and his mission here has the authority OF their
assent, If not Of their direct mandate.
The unique circumstance Of his coming Is
that he comes voluntarily to relinquish not only
his own functions as head Of the State but the
sovereignty and independence Of the State Itself.
Such REIMBURSEMENT has hitherto been made at
the demand of conQueror by ruler who
came as a prisoner or vassal. But this man
comes as the peer In independence Of the Pres
ident Of the nation he visits and Is to be treated
as such and he treats for the surrender OF
Hawaii to this Nation not as one acting under
compulsion, but voluntarily, as one who says, Il
can make the offer and I can withdraw it.,
land you may accept ii or you may reject it, at
pleasure" The only motive Is the sincere con-
viction that the proposed annexation would be a
good thing for both nations concerned. Such
are the circumstances Of the Hawaiian Presi-
dents coming They call for the most respect
ful consideration Of which this Government and
Nation are capable

AN ENGLISH EXAMPLE.

Sir Michael Hicks Beach, Chancellor OF the
Exchequcr in Lord Salisbury's Cabinet speak
ing at Swansea last Tuesday declared that Her
Majestys Government was resolved that the
door OF Chinese commerce should not be closed
even II England had to go 10 war to keep 1t
open. This announcement was instantly recog-
nized as official. and IN the light Of 1t every
subsequent occurrence on the Oriental stage has
been watched by all the world with eager IN
terest. In England the response was immediate
and iubilant. No other utterance Of the Gov
ernment in recent years has commanded such
universal approval Liberals vie with Con-
scrvatves In commencing not only the nrm
resolution OF the Government, but the grim,
undecorated phrase In which Its purpose was
New-York tribune., 1898-01-23
THE POSTAL SERVICE.

There is now q fair prospect that the mis-
fortune Of crippled postal service will be
Inverted by means Of a deficiency appropriation.
Members Of Congress and the Postoffice De-
partment have been submerged In protests
against such reactionary policy. Business In
terests. Just revving after n long prostration
are emphatically demanding that the menace
shall be withdrawn. and postmasters In large
cities are explaining how serious would be the
consequences of the congestion which the pro-
posed curtai!ment would inevitably produce.
1t is suggested that the Department anticipated
the outcry which Its action would cause, and
shrewdy calculated the effect of a general re-
monstrance upon Congress. However that may
be- there Is no doubt that tremendous pres
sure has been put on and those best informed
believe that 1t will be effectual. Naturally the
first feeling in New York was that mOnstrous
injustice would be done In hampering the In
dustry and convenience Of community which
returns to the Government net annual revenue
Of nearly So, 100000 from It's employment OF the
mails. Naturally Also that consideration has
not so seriously impressed others But recently
the realization has spread elsewhere that the
country cannot afford to cripple the postal ser
vice OF city which makes so great a cOntribu-
ton in cash to the general advantage.
Perhaps it Is not rash to conclude, further
more that there.is getting TO be more general
recognition Of the fundamental fact that in the
postofiice business, as in other lines OF enter
prise. facilities breed traffic. and that conse-
oucntly under suitable conditions there is profit
In promoting public convenience. We believe
that the resources Of the New-York Postofiice
have usually been well employed, but the fact
remains that New-York is still far behind the
highest standard Of postal efficiency having
for example, ample reason TO envy London's ad-
mrablc service. while we'll entitled to every ad-
vantage that Congress could enable the Depart
mcnt to bestow upon the American metropolis
Doubtless for such a development we shall
have to wait long, but 1t is distressing and hui
initiating to contemplate the possibility OF step
backward The thanks Of New-York will be
cid as the thanks Of every other community
will be due, TO those who are now apparently
succeeding in their determined effort to avert
that calamity.
