FROM FAR AWAY TONGA.
An Account of Missionary Work
Now Carried On by Bishop Willis

Dear Sir:-I write this letter to
you thinking that you may be inter
ested to know something about my
first experience in travelling in the
South Sea Islands. After my short
stay of two weeks in Nukualofa, the
Bishop went to visit Haabai, about
ninety miles to the north, and took
me with him two of the native
Church members going also. We
went by the S. S. Manapouri to Lifu-
ka, the principal island of the Haa-
bal group. During our stay there a
arge number of natives were receiv-
ed into the Anglican Church by the
Bishop.
On Sept 3rd. we went to visit an isl
and called Mouga-one, which is about
twelve miles west from Lifuka At
nine o'clock in the morning we got
on board of a decked sailing boat
thirty feet long by twelve feet wide.
Eleven natives went with us. When
we got out side of the coral reefs,
We were in the open ocean, and the
wind being directly aft, we made the
passage in three and half hours with
only the jib. On the way We saw
large shark exercising itself by leap
| g up into the air. The natives
took out their large conches and
blew them for all they were worth
This gives very piercing sound,
which one can hear about two miles
off, supposed to be a charm to the
ferocious monster, as | have learned
On nearing the island, 1t being low
tide, We could not land at the side
nearest to us, which had a sand
beach. So We had to sail to the
back of the island where the coast
is formed by low coral cliffs worn

Now 'as soon as Prince Ku-hio
(stand slantingly or flop over) has
answered the foregoing questions sat
isfactorily, we guarantee to give him
some more of them, and mayhap will
pledge ourselves not to say anything
more against him as the Republican
party desires The Independent not to
attack it's candidate, but rather to sup
port him. We are sorry for him and
his new found friends.

a POLITICAL HOAX FOR VOTES.

In it's last issue the Star publishes a
campaign hoax, and hoax it really is,
that the Queen favors Prince Kuhio.'
This is probably intended as a bait to
the Hawaiians, but such tactics are too
well known by the people it is intended
to ensnare. We cannot believe that the
Republicans will make much of a sue
cess in publishing such trash and
wherein is the comfort that they can
find in it. Following is the sort of
rubbish given out to it's readers
I'm replying to some statements of
Wilcox on Hawaii Prince Kuhio relat-
ed bit of political history which
shows the attitude of ex-Queen Lili-
uokalani. Wilcox made the statement
that Her Majesty disapproved of Ku-
hio's conduct in leaving the Home Rule
party, and was angry with him for
running as a Republican. In reply the
Prince told of conference he had with
the eX-Queen before the nomination
was offered him, and after his bolt
from the Home Rule party The Prince
stated that he had explained matters
TO the Queen and had told her that he
considered that the Republican party
was the only one that could do any
thing for Hawaii. If you think it is for
the good of the people, said the Queen,
referring to the proposed campaign, go
ahead and make the fight as Republl-
can.'"

A prominent Maui Republican, so it
is reported, was so raving angry, next
door TO being mad, over certain re-
ported accusations against his con-
duct, private as we'll as official, for be
it known he is an important official
besides, that he used some very
strong invectives against others and
against his political party saying that
he was done with it, And further,
that on arrival at his official office at
the Wailullu Court House, he took off
the Cupid button pinned on the lapel
of his coat, cast it to the ground, then
spat and stepped on it. But on Sec
ond thought he repented OF his hasty
action and begged forgiveness of the
political boss of the island and at last
accounts he was back again into the
fold as if nothing had happened. But
we would suggest to the Maui Repub-
licans to Kalua Pogue and serve hot
on election day, when you'll be done
for.

with the Queen? Was it not after he
had pledged himself to accept the Re
publican nomination? Is it not fact
that he saw Her Majesty after he had

his people, all on account of certain
promises made to him and for business
reasons not yet known, but Alexander

TOPICS OR YHE DAY.

The Independent must give Prince
Cupid credit for the conservative spir.
1t displayed by him in an interview
published in the last issue of the Bull
letin. We cannot help but admire
him for it. He does not give such a
roseate account of his campaign tour
on the Big Island, but says in sub
stance that honors are about evenly
divided between him and his oppo-
nent, Delegate Wilcox. But his reas-
suring belief is rich that the last man
to be there before election will carry"
that Island or only the District of Kau,
place not yet visited by him. We
do know, though, that the last man to
get to the voters gets the best show
and Wilcox will do it, the same as he
did the last campaign, when he follow
ed on the heels of Prince David and
Sam Parker and defeated both of
them. Remember the Scriptural say
ing-"the first last and the last first. I"

CITY AND COUNTY SLOGAN.

One of our topics of last Friday was
unintelligible, in that we failed to give
out its subject matter. 1t was in the
one referring to the speakers at that
Pauoa luau of the great Republican
party, where all those who spoke, with
the sole exception of Candidate Long,
studiously evaded the city and county
proposition. What's the matter with
them all? Has insincerity already
erept in? Didn't we say so some time
ago that they are not honest nor are
they earnest in their desire for it. 1t
is merely bait and feeler, but they
are found out now to be very insin-
cere. Home Rulers and Democrats
are in for county and municipal gov
ernment and will both work with
will to get it so that the people will
rule according to their full rights and
privileges as Americans. The Repub-
lican Governor, Mr.. Dole, does not
want those measures, nor does his po
litical co-partners, Smith, Thurston G.
Co., and the sugar planters. AS
they've held on to power too long in
this country, they do not relish the
idea of relinquishing their hold at
present Their days of ruling as they
pleased are fast approaching the end
and the people will eventually rule in
the long run. County and municipal
government we will have, and we are
going to have them too whether our
holy rulers and their saccharine sup
porters like it or not The days of op
preston are nearing their close, and
the people mean to rule here in the
future, mot as soon as practicable"
but right soon at the coming session of
lne Legislature. Gentlemen, mark
these well.

NOT aFsA1D THE P4opap.

Gov. Odell of New York, unlike Gov.
Dole of Hawaii is evidently not afraid
of the rule of the people. In recent
address, he declared himself, as fol
lows;
Home rule for cities has been guar
anteed, SO that legislative. interfer-
ence with local affairs is less than
ever before. Mandatory legislation, of
which we occasionally hear, is more
a myth than a reality, because there
is none of the municipalities of the
State which does not possess to the
highest degree the veto power, both
ever the acts of the Legislature and
the Executive. The responsibility for
practically all legislation affecting mu-
inequalities rests with the mayors of
such cities, and their advice is, OF
should be, the guiding influence
villages and towns do not possess
this right, but / believe that we would
reach in the highest sense practical
and absolute home rule if the same
privileges were accorded to the small
est unit of our Commonwealth"
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1902-10-06

What encouragement can Republi-
cans find in such statement imputed
to the Queen? And even if Her Majes-
ty told the prince to "go ahead and
make the fight" does that show she
favored his detection? Mighty poor,
cold comfort this. If Prince Cupid did
so state the foregoing, we must ques-
tion his veracity, and we are most
sorry to do so, knowing him personal
ly as we'll as we do; and further, we
feel rather surprised that he should
make such statement, which makes
us all the more much mistaken in our
once ideal of a true, loyal and patriotic
prince and son of the soil We cannot
believe that the Stars hoax is correct,
for we know that it is not the truth.

action of the waves. Here were sew
eral little bays and in one of these,
the sea being calm on this side, the
boat was brought alongside of rocks
on which 1t was quite easy to land.
After half miles walk through an
avenue of cocoanut trees, with yam
plantations on either side, we got to
| the village In little while dinner
was set before us consisting of
chickens and yams cooked in Hawai-
ian style.
About four o'clock in the afternoon.
the natives of the whole village.
numbering about sixty, came together
to meet the Bishop. Each family
brought their present with them and
laid it down en- the grass in front
of the house. where the Bishop and
the chief of the feast could see it.
They then went back to their places
and sat down forming semicircle.
There were three cooked pigs, sew
eral baskets of yams, bananas, etc.
Presently large kava bowl was
placed in the centre of the people.
six men were appointed by the chief
to act in the ceremony. The kava
roots having been presented to the
Bishop, were handed to the man who
had charge of the kava bowl to be
pounded to make the drink, when it
was ready, the master of the feast
calls out the name of the person to
whom the infusion was to be given
first, second, third, etc. The first
bowl was presented to his Lordsnip
In the olden days they would club
the man if he delivered it to the
wrong person, and would not give
him another chance of doing it again.
During the distribution man sat |
in the centre and sang. After that |
the chief ordered the liver of the
roasted pig to be presented to the
Bishop according to the Tongan Gus !
tom. But he did not eat it, as the
natives may have been expecting
hat he would. So it was taken away
after he had accepted it. The pigs,
}ams, bananas, ETC., were then div
ded into shares forthe different fami-
les. This was the end of the cere-
nony
At 1880 in the evening there was

,eived thirty people into the church,

in their native tongue.

SWEET BREATH
When Colfoe is Left Off.

A test was made to find if just the leaving off of coffee alone would pro- dUce an equal condition of health when coffee is left off and Pcsrum Food Cof- rle used in it's place.
 A man from Clinton, Wis. made the experiment. He says. About a yea: ago I left eff drinking coffee and tea and began to usc Postu1n. For several years previous my system had been in wretchad condition. always had thichly furrad. bilious tongue and foul breath cften accompanied with severe headaCh2s. I was troubled all the time With chronic constipation so that l was
 norose in disposition and almost dis cour& ged.

 The ccIlCpse of the proposed dem7n- stratiCu was traceable to q drenchinS rain and overwhelming precautions taken by the police. which seem to place further disturbances in Brussels out of the question. The feeling is gaining ground that the government will entirely reject the proposed re vision of the constitution.
