The Bishop OF Honolulu may
have made provision that no local
man be appointed to the bishopric
to succeed him, The INDEPENDENT
cannot nor does it vouch for the
statement already made by it, 1t
was not made as authoritative, only
understanding that such was the
case, and Bishop Willis is not re.
sponsible for any statement herein
made. But one thing may be point.
ed out that the RESPONSIBILITY for
such an impression lay with the
Second Congregation Itself. During
the last Diocesan Synod, in a letter
written by Mr.. T. Clivo Davies,
synodsmsn representing that fac
ton, to the r V. V. H. Kitcat,
which was wormed out by motion
of Synodsman Testa,in the matter
offaguarantee toward the Bishops
stipend, which letter was then duly
published, being dated December
10, 1901, and appears on psge 81 OF
the Proceedings of the First Ses-
sion OF the Sixth Diocesan" the fol.
lowing proviso is to be found in the
guarantee embodied: provided that
the new Bishop selected be a clergy
man not at present ministeripg in
this Diocese" There then is the
authority for the statement on the
condition made, not by Bishop Will
lis, but by those in opposition to
him andoby themselves.

There seems TO be an impression
abroad that the Cathedral Church
OF St. Andrew has been heretofore
pledged in m rtgage aud that it
still has to this day. The INEPENDENT
is perfectly able to state that such
an impression is wrong and fallaci-
Gus, aud that the church structure
nor it's property has evlr been at
any time porviously- nor since sub
iscted to such procedure next. to
humiliation aud deseoration. 1t has
as well as its property always been
intact as originally intended, and is
today unencumbered, unburdeued
and unhampered by such methods,
although it may be necessary in
business, but enthusiastically it is
considered sacrilegious and unsanc-
timonious.

Certain people think that Bishop
Willis is taking undue advantage Of
an American Bishop by consecrating
the Cathedral. Why 500 An Amer
lean Bishop can do as he wants as far
as ecclesiastical affairs are concerned,
but as to mortgaging Church pro-
perty, he has no right nor power
whatever to do so. That right be-
longs to the people, who elect the
Directors, in whom rest the title to
all Church buildings and property
and they are the sole authority,in q
business way, to mortgage, lease or
convey Church property, and who
are, by their election, represent the
people to whom they are responsible
under the charter OF incorporation
and the laws OF tho land. An Amer
lean Bishop is at liberty to add to
the Cathedral and consecrate the
same as suits him best, but as to
the p'edging Of property he cannot.
So much for that.

The untoward actions OF certain
ill-tempered people, who call them
selves Christians, aud particularly
during this Lenten season, are per.
fectly disgusting, disgraceful and
very shameful to say the least. They
are not Christians in it's proper
sense and meaning, for by their
deeds and actions are they known,
and they set very POOR and low
example to Others, especially to the
Hawaiian people, for whom was the
Anglican Church called and sent
out here to educate, aud to teach
them in "the way, the truth, and the
life" Had it not been for our sense

imbned to consecrate the Cathedral
Church Of this Diocese. AS the oc-

than proper and fitting that The re-

tective bureau, showed a visitor the other
night cigarette. 1t was bong and slim,

looked like any other expensive cigarette.

vice OF the lawbreakers-a Knockout

trivance seems, the inhalation of ten
whiffs of it would throw the strongest
man into a coma. The cigarette was sent
to me by Chicago crook whom | once
befriended. The man tells me that an
Illinois chemist is manufacturing the ne
farious things and selling them to the

and they taste like one: but they bring

PUNCHING BY ELECTRICITY.
Novel Use of "Magic Touch" by Western
Cowboys to Drive Cattle.

Cow punching by cowboys under the
picturesque conditions of wild Western
life will soon be lost art. Electricity
is taking the cowboys place, and re-
ports of it's success in this novel field
credit the new agency with remarkable
success. One of the largest packing
firms in Kansas City employs elect ricity
TO drive cattle into the beef beds in
stead of shouts, clubs, whips and prods.
The electricity is applied by means of
two insulated wires, connected with the
light wires over the catching and the
knocking pens. The current passes
through stick and connects with two
brass points on the end. "Punchers'
is the name given tnf sticks. There
are two punchers, eacn six feet long
in the catch pen, and ti5e, four feet long,
in the knocking pens. The insulated
wires are about tweny feet long, thus
thirty feet each One hundred and
twenty-five volts of Electricity are turned
on, enough to maxi sharp, singing
sensation. without leaving mark or
bruise ON the beef. The work Of puncii-
ing is done in oF-halt the time and
with half the exdtion. The effect of
the magic touch 1n the steer is anus
ing to see.
A steer touchd on the left hip inn
mcdiately throws ms headquarters as
far as he can % the right. Then ne
cocks one ear straight ahead and one
straight back, switches his tail and
starts straight ahead. He don't care
for a second attack The electricity
speaks to hir in language he doesn't
understand. There is look of sur
prise in his yes, and he seems to know
that all the trouble lies in the end of
that stick. He doesn't stop to get mad
or howl. lie has urgent business at
actly whcc the drivers and Knockers
want him The new method completely
does avs with all back rushes and
dragging in with chains, for just ms
long as he puncher is behind the steer

THE END OF THE QUEST.


Unsrm him here. Now wish him rest,
HIS was the fate Of those who fail;
Who never end the knightly quest,
Nor ever find the Holy Grail
He was the heriest lance in all
That virgin honor called to dare:
The courtIiest Of the knights in hall,
The bOldest at the barriere.
joyful he took the sacred Task
That led him far by food and field;
His lady's favor at his casque,
Gods cross upon his argent shield.
See where the Paynim point has cleft
The crimson cross that could not saYei
See where the scimltar has reft
The favor that his lady gave.
For this poor fate he rode so far
With faith untouched by toll or time;
4 perfect knight In press Of war,
Stainless before the Mystic Shrine.
One finds the Rose and one the rod;
The weak achieve. the mighty fail.
None knows the dark design but God,
Who made the Knight and made the
Grail.
The single eye the steadfast heart,
The strong endurance of the day,
The patience under wound and smart
Shall all these utterly decay?
The long adventure resteth here:
HIS was the lot Of those who fail,
Who ride unfOuled by sin or fear,
Yet never find the Holy Grail.
