QUEEN VICTORIA Is NOW AL
MOST BLIND.

oculist Decides that an Operation
Must be Performed on Her Right
Eye.
New York, May 16.-A cable to
the Journal says Queen Victoria is
almost blind. She has completely
lost the sight of her left eye, and
that of the right eye is nearly OBJ
scured by cataract. This alarming
condition of the Qneen's eyes has
been discovered by DR.. Pageuste-
cher, the famous German ouulist
He has advised an immediate ope.
tion upon the Queens right eye.
An operation is said to be the only
thing that can prevent total blind
ness.
That Queen Victoria has been
made to appreciate the gravity of
her condition is evident from the
fact that she wore spectacles yester-
day while driving at Kensington.
1t is contrary to the custom of the
Queen to appear in spectacles, and
the sight of them caused consider
able comment among those in state
attendance upon her. Now, as DIR.
Pagenstecher has 80 strongly advis-
ed an operation, it is believed that
it may be accomplished without
serious results. He has assured the
royal family he would not have ad-
vised it unless convinced that it
would be performed successfully.

We publish the following extract
from letter from prominent Am
rican whose sympathy has always
been with the Hawaiians, who stood
up for the independence of their
country.
"Stand by your colors Remem-
ber us Southerners as we were sit.
uated in 1866. Four long years we
bravely fought the United States
troops. fought as a boy two years
in the Southern Army. After sacri-
ficing wealth, property, everything
during hot war Of four years, we
were obliged to submit TO over
powering force. We we're compelled
to surrender our arms and armies to
Uncle Sam. But we never surrender
ed our determination that Souther-
ners and not Northerners should
rule the Southern States. Our
statesmen went to work; they united
the entire South at the ballot box.
Carpetbag rule was overthrown, and
in ten years after the war closed the
Southern States were once more in
the governmental hands ofSouthern
citizens. What we failed to do with
gunpowder, we succeeded in doing
with ballots. And to-day the South
ern people are happy and prosperous
under the rule of people to the
manor born.
So it can be and will be in Hawaii.
Let the people accept the inevitable
change. Let them rally as American
citizens, vote as such and by their
votes place the reins of government
where they wish them. 1t can be
done. 1t will be done. There is not
the slightest reason why the entire
Hawaiian people should not be or
ganized into one grand party, the
leading principles of which should
be that under the American flag and
loyal to it Hawaiians shall rule their
own Islands"

THE CHURCH IN HAWAII.

The INDEPENDENT has been called
the organ of the Bishop Of Homo
lulu by the men and the newspapers
who have tried to belittle the noble
man who has done more good to the
Hawaiians than have the men who
sneer at him and the rest OF the
breed, whose names appear in the
missionary stud-book." We are
pleased to publish an extract from a
letter penued to this paper by a
prominent American churchman,
who has had the good fortune to
meet the Bishop and admire his
sterling qualities and high character:
