ALOHA TO OUR BISHOP.

By the steamer Ventura today our
old friend, tutor and worthy master,
one who has been our Bishop for
thirty years, leaves US and these
Islands and its people that he has
learned to love. We of The INDE.
PENDENT, for ourselves, and for the
Hawaiian people in particular have
learned to respect him for his man
illness in espousing their aud their
couutry's cause when it was tram
pied upon by those who were eager
to save $40 ton duty on sugar by
bartering this country against the
will Of it's people for filthy lucre
He fought for what he deemed the
right against large odds and rever
for one moment quailed nor finch
ed. Having lailed, he accepted the
inevitable and he manfuliy and
heroically stood by his convictions
and carried his point against all
opposition by the American House
OF Bis hops in the retention OF the
Episcopacy TO the See OF Honolulu
But had he been thereto strongly
supported by some OF our much
vauuted patriots ard alleged
friends, the situation might have
remained in Statu quo without the
least deviation from the original
lines.

Church Books for Tonga.

When Bishop Willis leaves Homo.
lulu on his way to Tonga he will
take along with him the hymnals
and prayer books which have been
used for many years in st. Andrew 5
Cathedral and which have been dis
carded to make room for the Ameri-
can prayer books and hymnals. A.
recsnt meeting Of the Chapter of
st. Andrews Cathedral held in the
presence OF Bishop Nichols, it was
decided to offer the books to Bishop
Willis which Offer was gratefully
accepted, for they will be OF scme
service in that now fell Of Church
life.

A singular coincidence occurred d
when Bishop Willis wrote aud sent
his resignation to the Archbishop Of
Canterbury, the Primate OF All
England. Ten days after forward
ing it, His Lordship received a call
from the King, Chiefs and people
of Tonga for him to proceed there,
if he should leave here, and estab.
lish the Church iu those Islands.
Quoting bishop Willis own words
at a recent gathering at his valley
home, il we remember them rightly,
he said: 81 am not leaving you. for
l am going to people like your
own. The Tongan people are Of
your own kind in every way, except
only a slight difference in the Ian
guage. l will yet be in the same
pond with you, it is only a matter
OF a few days sailing over the
water" ~

Thirty years have ONE and gone
since Bishop Willis first arrived
here, bringing with them many
changes which called for the dis
play OF qualities radically different
from those which we're needed
twenty years ago. Bishop Willis,
however, was equal to the emer-
gency; he descended into the arena,
and with pen and voice held back
the legions of jealous enemies, or
fanatical race advocates. As we
view through the restrospect OF the
years, Bishop Willis unfliuchingly
facing the gathering storm, we in
stinctively exclaim: What a splen-

Churches, schools, converts and
especially the numerous pupils aud
graduates Of Iolani College whom
he educated and sent away fully
equipped for the "Strugsle for

ing years as enduring monuments
attesting 10 future generations the
great work accomplished by Bishop o
Willis in the Hawaiian Islands.
When we remember the condi-
tions prevailing here iu the religi-
Gus world at the time OF Bishop
Willis arrival, we can form an es-
innate OF the magnitude Of the
labors that devolved upon him.
Never Sinking them he spent the
best years of his life in laying deep
and broad foundations on which his
successors will be able to build.
First and above all things a priest,
he led a prestly life and will leave
behind him a memory which will be
held in veneration by those who
had an opportunity OF knowing his
many virtues.
Wherever Bishop Willis may go
the best wishes OF The INDEPENDENT
will follow him. This paper has al.
ways been consistent and faithful
champion and friend of the Bishop,
becau we learned to appreciate
his manly qualities and sterling
worth long years ago. Bishop Viii.

Hawaiian people aud the Hawaiian
people are grateful to him and will
bless his memory when he has gone.

That may be all very true, but he
will be away from US; he who had
ministered to the Hawaiian people
the love OF his Master; he who had

Hawaiian people have learned to

sincerity TO truth and his stead.

have since been overcome and the
future looks much brighter. Many
were the nights passed by him un-

These may all pass into the

This largely accounts for the differ
ence in honest politics. There are
great questions before the people OF
the United States and on their prop
er solution depends the future well
fare Of the country. That certain
abuses must be corrected, men of
all parties agree and the main ques-
ton for the voter to decide is who
shall be the physician. We COM
mend the Republican party as a
careful, experienced and wise sur
geon and suggest that if the tariff

The Abbot Of Fools.

The abbot of fools, who was also
known in different parts as the arch
bishop or bishop Of fools, the abbot Of
misrule, the lord of misrule, the mas
ter of unreason and Liable de Liesse,
was the person who used to superin-
tend the saturnalia, which were COM
mon in different parts Of Europe from
the fifth to the sixteenth century. The
feast Of fools was an imitation Of the
heather saturlal and, like this, was
celebrated in December; hence the con-
fusion of ideas which has arisen In
mixing this feast with the ordinary
Christmas revels. The chief celebra-
ton of the feast Of fools fell upon In
nocent's day, but the whole revels
lasted from Christmas to the last day
Of Epiphany. The young people gen.
orally elected a leader, who went by
one of the names quoted, ana he was
consecrated with many grotesQue and
ridiculous ceremonies.
England, Scotland, France and Ger
many all practiced these wild saturna-
Tia, and it was with great difficulty
that they were finally abolished. The
abbot was not responsible for any trick
or practical joke played on the rest OF
the community by his orders, and the
victims had simply to grin and bear
it." In the temple Qaw headquarters,
London) the Office of the lord Of mis-
rule seems to have been a coveted one,
for we read that IL was only given to
young men OF good family.

Advice to the Lecturer.
A jovial looking man on a Jersey
City to Pittsburg train drank frequent
~ and deeply from quart bottle,
which he courteously offered before
each swig to his fellow passengers,
one of whom, an ascetic looking man,
refused the bottle with scorn, and
eventually delivered a lecture on tenn
perance. ending with:
"You take awful chances in cloud"
ing your brain with alcohol. When
you again come into possession of your
normal senses, you may be in the gut
ter, you may be in prison, you may
be in eternal punishment
After the berths had been made up
for the night, the jovial one staggered
down the aisle, pulled aside the flap
Of that occupied by the lecturer, and
asked:
'.Where yoush goin', OF felr?"
"Pittsburg'-this severely.
"Yoush didn't tip p-p-porter."
