FAURE FUNERAL PAGEANT

New York, Feb.-A dispatch to
the Tribune from Paris, says:
Perfect order, even reverence,
marked the passage OF Felix
Faure's funeral procession, not
only along the place de la Con
corde and the fashionable thor
oughfares, but especially in the
turbulent district skirting Belle
vile and extending from the Bou-
levard Sebastopol to Pere la
Chaise cemetery. President Lou
bet in plain evening dress, with
the broad ribbon of the Legion of
Honor and wearing u silk hat, at
/ tended by the prime minister, the
President of the chamber and the
vice president OF the Senate,
walked behind the hearse from
the Elysee Palace to Notre Dame
and thence to Pere la Chaise, a
distance Of FIVE and a half miles.
At no point in this long route
was there solitary derisive shout
or jeer.
1t WAS the most imposing sight
seen iu Paris in many years.
A prominent Partisan florist es-
Inmates that the cost Of the flowers
in the cortege exceeded 100000
francs.

flags which were the most numer

IN THE INTERESTS OF HAWAII

The proposition to have q local
steam hip line between ports OF
tie Northwest and Honolulu con-
t.oled by local capital is one that
ought to be readily accepted
among business men. The ceuters
of trade in Washington and Ore
con should be and can be made
most profitable market centers for
the products of Hawaii. With
our local conditions established
under bene6cent American rule
certainly Hawaii should not be
slow in seeking new markets for
its tropical products. Further
more in the development OF the
ocean transportation OF the P"ci-
tic. there is no reason why the
local capitalists of Hawaii should
not take hand and place their
own steamships as we'll as their
sailing vessels in the trade between
the islands and the coast.
At the presen. time, the Oceanic
Company gives first class local
transportation facilities with the
railroad center Of California, but
we have only indirect connection
with the avenues OF trade and
travel in the great Northwest. 1t
is a com mercial field that can sup
ply Hawaii's needs and one in
which our produce should find a
ready and profitable sale. Nearly
all the newly projected steamship
lines of the Pacific figure on Ha'
wall as calling place, a seconda'
1ry proposition that may be con
sidered 10 the trade with the east
The local capitalists can do a grea
deal toward developing trade in
Hawaii by making it a termina
point, by providing transportation
lines in which the interests o
Hawaii shall be paramount.
The time is not far distant who

island of Hawaii and probabl!
Maui will be properly developed

land, now idle for want OF cheaI

The crisis caused by the death

SO quickly, quietly and positively

something has happened. The

Pope Leo's letter to Cardinal
Gibbons is simply a reassertion
of the Roman Catholic tenet that
the Church is one, inseparable
and Interchangeable. Ii this letter
is intended to check the progress
of liberalism" among the Catho
lies of the United States, it will
only serve as a temporary check
at best. The independence OF
thought in all religious faiths
goes hand in hand with the 'li
beralisms" Of governmental laws
and customs. The Catholics aud
Protestants of today are more
