beautiful, the most enhancing pageants
that have ever travelled the kings high
ways.
The history of these parades is the his

and gazed and were pleased, to crowds
that were lost in amazement and wonder;
these parades have grown from local i'm

such a feature of the coming of the blessed
King Ak-Sar-Ben that his welcome has been
chosen as the most fitting feature of the

HONORS TO ROChAMBEAU.

The statue to General Count de
ROChambcau, which has been erected
at Washington, is a tardy acknowledge
mcnt of the really distinguished aid
given by that French officer to the
cause of American independence. 1t Is
the habit of our historians, especially
our school historians, to lay little stress
upon the French alliance during the
revolutionary war, yet 1t was the hinge
upon which the door of American mil
itary success finally turned. A French
fleet drove British fleet away from
Yorktown and then completed the ma
rinc investment of the town: while
RochGmbeau's army occupied more
than half the siege line that hemmed
the enemy in on the land side. What
counted for almost as much more was
the splendid military equipment the
French brought for the ragged and
half-armed Americans. Washington's
army was put in good fighting trim
by Rochambeau, who, out of the $3.50.
900 900 spent by the French in aiding
the American cause, was given in
charge large sum in gold and vast
amount of material of war.
A curious story illustrates the finan-
cial extremity OF the Americans at that
time. Washington's men had not been
paid for months and many of them,
knowing that their families We're in
sore straits, had become mutinous.
Whole regiments refused to march
south for the Yorktown campaign I'M
less given some arrears of pay. Wash
ingtOn wrote letter after letter To Rob
ert Norris, the colonial financicr, but
Norris could do nothing. Finally an
almost desperate appeal came from the
head of the army and Morris went with
IT 10 ROChambeau. The sum needed
was 10000. The French General loan
ed the money on the word of Morris,
but when the day Of payment came
there were no funds in the colonial
treasury. Morris went To the French
Minister, who explained matters to
ROchambeau. The debt ran on for a
long time before 1t was paid. But for
that beggarly $2O,O00-a princely enough
gum to Americans then-Washingto
must have brought to Yorktown very
small army indeed.
SO gallant and generous and so in
dispensable an ally, should have had
IA monument long ago; though posi-
bly,, by waiting, a better artistic re-
suit has been obtained.

OUR LEGAL HOLIDAYS.

IL Memorial Day legal holiday in
the Territory of Hawaii? This ques-
ton was raised yesterday In a general
discussion in the Circuit Court room
after the jury in the Hall case had
been sent out If ii was legal holi-
day. then yesterdays proceedings of
the court would be- Illegal. but II Is
generally conceded that May 30th IL
not q legal holiday within the meaning
of either the United States or Hawaii
an statutes.
The public buildings were closed for
the afternoon and the United States
Court did not open at all. while none
Of the Federal offices I'm the city were
opened for business. The discussion
brought forth the fact that there are
no National holidays, strictly speak
Ing, in the sense OF general statute
passed by Congress. though Thanks
giving Day IL celebrated as a legal
holiday by the proclamation OF the
President Fourth OF July. Christmas
Day. and other similar holidays are
not National holidays. though they are
legal holidays I'm nearly every State
and Territory in the Union by legisla-
tive enactment.
There Is a statute. however, making
these holidays legal ones in the Dis
triCt OF Columbia, and by some II was
thought that this statute extended to
the Territories, though II could not be
cound in the statute books. However,
the statute would not apply to Hawaii,
which was admitted as "A Territory aft
er the passage of the law. The statute
does, however. make provision for all
employees in the service OF the United
states, ana they are allowed holiday
on these occasions without loss of their
per diem.
The holidays in the Territory of Ha-
wall are specially designated by the
following section of the civil laws of
1897.
