The Russian fleet at Port Arthur, if
1t numbers fifty-seven vessels, as the
cablegrams say, will make formidable
showing against the japanese fleet. In
case of war there may be collision in
the Yellow Sea that will take rank with
the greatest naval battles the world
ever saw. Modern battleships have
never yet been in action against each
other. At the battle of the Yalu all

the same was true of the battle of San
tiago. At Manila the fight was between
cruisers and gunboats on both sides.

1t is not given to many pastors to
serve forty years in one pulpit and in
that respect, as in many others, Rev.
H. H. Parker is an exceptional man.
One of the last Kamehamehas, in
berating the Christian ministry, eX-
copied Mr.. Parker, whose labors' he said
were disinterested and unselfish.
Modest, retiring and unassuming, the
pastor of Kawaiahao is rarely before
the public save in his own pulpit, and
he takes few If any vacations. His in
fiuence for good in the native church
has been and is enormous; and it must
deeply crafty him to see, as he did last
evening, how his work is appreciated
by those he serves.

AS TO PRIMARIES.

II the Advertiser imagines for mo-
Inent that the Republicans Of HAWAII
will tolerate close-cOrpOration prima-
ries. next year. it has another guess
coming or we lose the wager--lnde-
pendent.
What the native organ calls the
"close-corporation primary" is the
primary where only party members are
permitted to vote on party affairs. 1t
is the only primary which has vestige
of honesty or fair-play. The wide
open rule permits Home Rulers or
Democrats to come into a Republican
primary and dictate a ticket which
they are in the field to beat; or Re
pubIicans to manipulate Home Rule
and Democratic policies the same way.
The Republican party was burdened
with the wide-open primary when the
scheme was to ally the Royalists and
carpet-baggers against Gov. Dole in
the organization which was supposed
to back him up This incubus yet ex-
lists
Perhaps it may not be shaken off. 1t
is too early to say. But if it is main
tanned, it will be for no other purpose
than for a fractional element in the
party, in more or less open alliance
with the Home Rulers, to widen the
party split.

Representative Aylett cannot be said
to have left the Republican party. He
never was in IL. Certain of the old
Royalist faction chose to be known as
Republicans while running for Office but
Npce elected they put in their time fight
ing the Republican Territorial admins
traitor. Aylett is honest enough to
have come out into the open and show
his colors. The rest are still hiding in
the Republican underbrush waiting to
get shot at Governor Dole or Secre-
tary Carter.
