Well, there were difficulties in the
way which seemed to be, for the time
being at least, insurmountable.
Childrens' day service at the Meth
odist church last Sunday. The crowd
collected quite early. A few minutes
before II O'Clock the children of the
Baptist Sunday school camo i'll and
occupied seats that had been reserved
for them. Promptly at II o'clock the
service began, and closed at half past
twelve. The children and young peo-
pie performed their parts we'll. The
singing was as good as any we ever
heard in the Methodist church. Every
body, except perhaps very few, seemed
to enjoy the services. Our organist
and other good women who had in
hand the training OF the children,
done their part we'll. The 9'solon
played and sung by Mrs. Terry,
brought tears to many eyes. The
name of the piece sung was, my
Mothers Prayer. The liberal col
lection, nine dollars and thirty eight
cents, showed very clearly that the
people enjoyed the occasion, and
were willing to help on the good
cause. We feel under many obliga-
tions to our Baptist Brethren for their
presence and contribution. Nearly
every member of the Baptist Sunday
school contributed something. May
the blessing of God rest on all who are
even we'll wishers to the good cause.
May peace, harmony and good will
ever pervail among US. 10 us Metho-
dists, the baptizing of two babies was
quite interesting. God bless the ba-
bies.

YOUNG nAwAlIANs COMBINE.

The young Hawaiians Of Maui nave
formed or are forming an independent
pelitical body which has for its object
the choice OF good men for the Legisla-
ture. This is a worthy undertaking
and means. If it is carried out, the de-
feat of William White. the Lahaina sa-
Ioon-keeper. For the place he now
holds, two young men are being con-
sidered: sainuel Keliinoi. recently
connected with the Board of Education
ana L. B. Lyons. The Advertiser has
no special information about these as
pirants. but the young Hawaiians say
either can be depended on to vote Tor
measures of good government; and IN
any event 1t is likely that either would
be an Improvement upon the average
Home Rule legislator of 1900.
What. we especially commend Is the
spirit of political independence which
the young Hawaiiaas are showing. The
new departure is by no means confined
to Maui Here on Oahu, Prince Cupid
and his friends have ranged themselves
steadily and unfiinchingiy against the
rcactionary ideas of the old crowd or
place-hunters The Prince, in many
ways, has shown himself to be the most
admirable politician OF mis- race, cool.
far-sighted and sagacious- He has for
gotten more about high politics than
the old lire leaders of the Home
Rule party ever knew. That so many
other young Hawaiians are adopting
his standard is one of the most hopeful
signs we know of that the Hawaiian
influence i'm politics is going to make
itself felt for good government
If these young men hold their ground
and do not move to a lower level. they
will honor the Hawaiian name and
achieve something worth while. To
PLACE ones bark on the highest promon-
fory- of the beach and wait for the ris-
ing of the tide TO make it float is the
essence of all statesmanship; for TO
high-water mark the tide always comes
in time. 1t is smooth sailing for those
Ss1o embark then.

HAWAIIAN COINAGE.

While the Hawaiian coinage bill went
by the board owing to the inattention
OF Delegate WILCOX. the defeat of the
measure is not one for unalloyed re-
greet.
When any country. has a circulating
medium that VIII stay with it-one that
will not, in the ordinary course or
banking and trade. be shipped away
and has, besides, a currency for export
purposes. both being legal tender, that
country IS pretty well fixed. AS things
stand the Hawaiian dollar and the
United States dollar are at par in this
Territory Nobody will take the Ha-
waiian dollar anywhere else and it
stays here as a convenient and neces-
sary medium of exchange, subject only
To losses to collectors and through the
arts. For our outside trading the
American dollar is in hand
This looks like a pretty good sys-
tenn to leave alone Of course trouble
would come il the local banks should
refuse to take Hawaiian money, for
then it would depreciate in everyhody's
pocket: but the banks show no signs
of such intent In fact they are quite
as much interested in having suffi-
Gent medium of exchange in Hawaii
as is any one else.

tails of infantry and cavalry were on
