Bishops Parthian Arrow.

The Living Church, one of the lead
ing church papers of America, has an
account of the proceedings of the DID
cesar Synod of the Church in Hawaii.
1t is evidently written by a local hand.
The Second Congregation is vigorous
ly scored" in the report of Bishop Will
lis address for permitting gambling
and other wicked practices at a fair,
but 1t does not say that the Bishop got
his information from a local newspaper
which did not give a correct account
of that fair. There was nothing done
at the fair, which Bishop Willis has not
permitted and even advocated at fairs
of his own. He simply gave a Parthian
shot at the congregation he loves so
we'll, and for which he has done SO
much.-Anglican Church Chronicle.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

Abraham Lincoln, whose birthday
occurs on this date, is regarded abroad
as the foremost statesman whom the
American people have given to the hon
or roll of the world. In all European
countries respect for him is unfeigned,
not less so in lands where an aristo-
cratic spirit prevails and where Satan
is called the first democrat" than in
countries the institutions of which are
liberal and progressive. Little as there
may be of sympathy among foreigners
OF rank and culture with the class
from which Lincoln sprang, or with the
vital. aims of his policy, vet the fact
that this man was, by nature a polit-
lcaI leader and architect fit to take his
place with the sovereign lawgivers of
history, is one which lacks no accept
ance among the royalty and nobility of
the old world The place of the war
PRESIDENT is secure in the pantheon
wnere humanity's colossal figures stand.
The influence of Lincoln upon the
history of the world, already prodig-
1ous' cannot but be lasting. We hazard
httie Wnen we say that his millenniaI
birthday will have the same observ
anee In this land. nine hundred and
more years hence, that King Alfred's
Idteiy mad IN England. Whatever the
United States may achieve as a world
power will date from Abraham Lin
com; Tor 1t was he who put the steel
bands of the Constitution about the
integrity OF the Union, and changed
our system from a dissoluble partner-
snip OF sovereign States to the indis
soluble entity of a SOVEREIGN natjor,
Because he did that the United states

To show how far afield the cores
pondents got on the Dole-Parker mat
ter, witness this paragraph under date
of January 25th:
The first informal step toward carrying
out this arrangement was taken today
when a letter written by Secretary
Hitchcock. at the Presidents suggestion.
was sent to Honolulu intimating to Gov
ernor Dole that his resignation was de-
sired.
This is highly explicit; yet it is con-
tradicted. not only by the card publish
ed over the signature of the Presidents
secretary, but by the fact that, al
though two mails have since arrived.
no intimation has reached Governor
Dole from Secretary Hitchcock or any
body else that he is not held in cordial
esteem by the President.

A REPUBLICAN ADMINISTRATOR.

Under a Republican administration OF
aationa. affairs il has become the rec
ognized principle that only Republic
ans should be put ora guar in this
way q Id IN this way only mly the
Chief Executive be secure in the
knowledge that the administration o.
affairs throughout the nation is pro-
ceed.ng along lines which TO him are
acceptable II is Therefore a conrumi-
tant that in accepting advice as II 5he
men who will fill he offices rs they
should he filed. the appointing power
must lock TO men rf the same Larty.
In affairs in the Territory of Hawaii
up TO this -:me the appointments 10 Re
chief Offices have reen made on :nesc
lines, however much there may be of
criticism as to the naming of men FIR
sui ri nate positions by the natl .iIal
or local government. Before tic IA &c
President Mckinley named thu nlen
who should be at the head OF affairs
ne WIS gwen the rare opportunity to
maze the personal acquaintance of
some of q EN-, notably President Dole
as the rank of tie present govern Or
then was. and from that personal con-
tact formed such an opinion that when
tic matter Of the appointment II the
first American official here was under
consideration there was neva~ any
doubt as to the selection that was TO
be made.
How strongly this impression lasted
may be epitomized in a sentence which
the late President used in speaking of
Governor Dole to a visitor: Il have
one thought" he said, when there is
concerning Hawaii comes up,
1 can sleep soundly knowing that the
Governor is giving it as careful thought
as 1 would if in his place."
Republicanism is not fetish 1t is a
living faith, which has in the past led
men to sacrifices and endeavor Strong
men have given to party struggles
their best years and even their
ives. 1t has never been regarded as
party loyalty that a man should follow |
when it pleased his fancy. To leave the /
standard when another than he is |
chosen to fill an important place, is not |
md never has been regarded as other
han treachery to party and unfaith to
he principles for which it stands.
Measuring the chief executive of the |
Territory by these standards, it. is cas-
ly seen that there has been during the
ears in which he has been at the head !
# affairs nothing incompatible with
he political belief which is now his
,uide. During the times which are
'ast the handspring of the actions of
he men whose energy and directness of
purpose made it possible that the stars
nd stripes now wave here has been
reater freedom of personal action and
gider possibilities of national advance
lent. Prosperity followed the leader
hip of the men whose self-sacrifice
'as distinguished. Fiscal honesty, ca
acity and integrity have marked the .
of President and Gov
rnor Dole; and now it rebounds to the
redit of the Republican party in these ]
stands.

There is much irritation at Rome
over the lynching of Italians in the
United States, but no one there has
proposed, so far as we know, to take
special care that Italians are sent to
America who will not, presumably, de-
serve to be lynched. For years Italy
has kept her crooks and criminals on
her emigration lists, and, whenever the
chance came, has passed them on 10

Italians have had a short shrift in

Mr.. Hogan's desire to fight Prince
Cupid on the field of honor is not likely
to be satisfied. Though a descendant
of an African Prince, whose line goes
way back so far that it ends in a tail,
Mr.. Hogan does not carry his creden-
tails and cannot, therefore. meet Prince
Cupid's reasonable demand for a look
at them. Hence the probability that,
though blood may boil, none of it will
be spilled. This is to be regretted
from a scenic point of view as duel
between men of the strain royal is so
infrequent as to make one to be covet-
ed by any winter resort which, like Ha-
wall. stands in need of attractive adj

The Bulletin prints an article from
the Washington Post-leaving off the
date-xhich says that Governor Dole
will be asked to resign and that Sam
Parker is slated for the place. AS this
was the original story which the
President has explicitly denied in Mr..
Cortelyou's card, and which has since
been denied by the leading correspond
ents at Washington on executive au
thority. its use by the Bulletin is both
dishonest and silly.

DlSFRANCHlSEMENT
OF HAWAIIANS
The Views of the Leading Ha-
waiian VernacuIar
Paper.

Following is an editorial in the Kuo-
koa:
The Home, Rulers are saying that the
Republicans are trying TO diSfranchise
! the Hawaiians. These are false state
ments, and they are used to lying to
the public We do not wonder that such
a statement should come from them.
The Republicans have never held meet
ing and passed resolution asking Con-
gress to disfranchise the Hawaiians, and
they do not want to do so, for they feel
| they are growing in favor with the ma
tives and the votes will be for the Re
publicans. Will they throw away their
own votes? The Home Rulers must not
think that they will get the Same sup
port from the natives after neglecting TO
do what they said they would.
They are trying to down the Repub-
licans in order to draw the natives to
them. They are trying to make us be-
lieve they are doing what is best for us
when in fact they are hurting US. They
have done enough so far to show us what
they really are. They have branded
themselves with: I'VE are Dog-Biils:
we are after the treasury; We are for
ourselves"
The Republicans do not wish to dis
franchise the Hawaiians and if such
attempts being made, they will OPP
pose it strongly. This is one of the sub
jects for their meeting tomorrow night,
and there the Home Rulers will hear
sound reasoning and know that the Re-
pubIicans are looking for the good of ALL
If we keep on following these Home Rul-
ers, We will see nothing but dog-bills
passed, and we will be classed as ''ignor-
ant people" The Republicans will ever
move forward doing what is best, and let
us join them if we are for the best that
can come to our beloved Hawaii.
DISFRANCHISEMENT
From the Kuokoa of Feb z 1902
We hear that there are parties trying |
to disfranchise the Hawaiians If what |
we hear be true then we must oppose |
such measure with all our strength. |
The Americans are libs/.y loving people |
and with that spirit they gave US our |
liberal franchise They will not take |
1t away from US without some good rea.
sons. We must admit that the Home |
Rule Republicans were foolish and they
have Inundated us by their work. but |
we do not believe that a sufficient cause
for our diSfranchisement. If we are I'M |
friendly to the whites and their interests
md do things that will show our ignor-
ance nd hatred, perhaps the day will
come when such a step will be taken.
We want you to understand that the
best thing we can do is to show the |
United States they did what was best
when they gave us our liberal franchise
~ looking for the good ~ the country
md putting aside all narrow mindedness.
When we do these We can look forward
% a day when Congress will give US
more benefits. But if we waste valuable
ime in useless legislation, rob the treas
Try and spend public moneys foolishly, |
10 nothing but pass dog-bills, then we
ay, it is time for Congress to take our
away, but we hope that time
will never come.

giving his money to the public. AS
Mr.. Schwab has been giving his to the

pear that his views on the disposal of
his fortune disagree with Mr.. Carne-
gie's only in the matter of time. Mr..
Schwab seems willing to live poor.

Peace in the party was broken by the
carpet-baggers and monarchists who
maliciously assailed the Republican

and let the public business go on un-

way.

Notes..

Sleeping after eating is condemned
by German physician, who has
shown experimentally that stomach
movements are lessened and acidity is
induced.
Government experts who have been
at work for nearly four months ap-
plying tests, state that the butter
made in this country is of high class.
The tests we're very rigid, the favor
counting forty-five points, the body
twenty-five, color fifteen, salt ten,
and the package FIVE. Samples from
all parts of the country were tested.
o. May 1 the first shipment was re-
ceived. After that, shipments came
every day, and before the month had
passed, more than five hundred max
ers had sent butter to Chicago for the
test. Every month since then the
dairymen sent twenty pounds of their
best butter to that city. US. Inspec-
tor William D. Collyer said that the
butter, while none of it was "perfect, "
that is, scoring one hundred points,
was high class. One lot was rated
ninety-eight points, or within two
points of perfection according to the
tests.
