With little taste for the discussion, we pen a paragraph or two for the information of our readers abroad. There has been the usual activity in electioneering, possibly more than the average amount of acrimony. Much that has been spoken may charitably be construed as Bunkum. No earnest enthusiasm has been conspicuous upon either side. The extreme views avowed by the "Liberal" party, led by Bush, Wilcox and Ashford. have caused a substantial union for a time, of the various sections of more conservative views, in support of the "National Reform" ticket. Bush and Wilcox sought to restore by force, in 1889, the much abused Royal prerogatives exercised under the constitution of 1864. They have now, in anger at the conservative course of the Queen, inverted their standard, and are clamoring for a Convention to create an entirely new constitution, intended to dethrone the Cjueen and establish a republic. This intention was explicitly avowed in letters of Wilcox to Moreno, prematurely published by the latter in New York. The alarm created thereby among Ha waiians who are generally loyal to the (jueen, has led him to attempt a partial disavowal of those letters; but the intention is not doubted. Their second avowed object is to prevent the ratification of the new treaty negotiated with the United States as being damaging to Hawaiian independence, especially in the cession of a naval station at Pearl Harbor. Mr. C. W. Ashford who defeated a similar treaty two years ago, is applying himself to this end in the interest of his Canadian employers against the United States, with an activity and zeal which deserve their highest appreciation. Nearly all foreigners, and a majority of the more intelligent natives, are strongly opposed to both of these enThe deavors of the Liberal party. Convention project is viewed as revolutionary, and subversive of public security and credit. No tampering of any sort with the Constitution is much favored in the present depressed financial outlook. As to the treaty, both capitalists and working men see in its full Free Trade provisions the only relief in sight for the present depression caused by the ruinously low price of sugar under the McKinley tariff. All intelligent citizens believe it to be of vital importance to perfect that treaty. These considerations have rallied so united an opposition to the common enemy, that we may hopefully look for the election of a fairly conservative majority in the coming Legislature. The New Church Edifice is assuming imposing form. The steel shingling of the extensive annexes is nearly finished, and very becoming. Several large arched windows are conspicuous. This edifice is only befitting to the great pecuniary prosperity of the country in which members of this church have largely shared during the past years. It needs, however, to be borne in mind that Christian ardor and fruitfulness are very apt to develop in inverse ratio to the costliness of the house of worship. Holiness and consecration have in all ages been more apt to grow in conventicles than in Cathedrals, in cottages than in palaces. This need not be so. This favored church may confidently be expected to become more and more abounding in all good works. Else its new and comely housing would be put to shame. Rev. R. R. Hoes, Chaplain of U. S. S. Pensacola, preached January 10th, at 11a. m. in Central Union Church, with great acceptance. Mr. Hoes has in many ways, made himself favorably known in Honolulu. 9 TheFriend. Number 2. THE RELATIONS BETWEEN THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS AND SPANISH AMERICA IN EARLY TIMES. [Kead before the Hawaiian Historical BuCsety Jan. M, 1801 ] The whole Pacific Ocean belonged to Spain by a double title; viz., by the right of discovery, and by the Bull of Pope Alexander VI. Certainly the Spaniards had a long start of other nations in its exploration. In 1513, only 21 years after the discovery of the New World by Columbus, Vasco Nunez dc Balboa beheld the Pacific Ocean from a peak in Darien, and afterwards wading into the sea, took possession ot it "and all its appurtenances," in the name of His Catholic Majesty, the King of Spain. Seven years later, Ferdinand dc Magalhaen (or Magellan), a Portuguese navigator in the service of the King of Spain, sailed through the straits named after him, and crossed the Pacific Ocean, discovering the" Ladrone and Philippine Islands, which became Spanish possessions. This new route to the Indies was claimed by Spain as her exclusive property. In addition to this, Pope Alexander VI in 1493 granted to Spain the property and dominion of all places either already discovered, or that should be discovered, west of a meridian line drawn from the North to the South Pole, a hundred leagues to the westward of the Azores and Cape Verde Islands. Pope Martin V had already, in 1432, granted to Portugal the same exclusive privilege in respect to all countries beyond Cape Bojador to the eastward. The line of demarcation was moved 270 leagues further west in 1494, by mutual agreement, in order to give Portugal a title to Brazil. This famous Bull of Demarcation did not, however, prevent the explorers of the two nations from coming into collision on the other side of the globe, where they contended for the possession of the Moluccas or Spice Islands. In the latter part of the next century Spanish expeditions from Peru discovered the Solomon Islands in 1567 and the Marquesas in 1595. But what is of more interest to us, is the fact that Hernando Cortez, immediately after his conquest of Mexico, fitted out an expedition on the western coast to reinforce his countrymen at the Moluccas. The little squadron, consisting of three small vessels, carrying 110 men, and commanded by Don Alvarado dc Saavedra, sailed from Zacatula, Mexico, Oct. 31, 1527. The narrative of the voyage is preserved in Herrera's work and also in �10 Burney's "Discoveries in the South Seas," both of which are in this Library. When the squadron was about a thousand leagues from port, it was scattered by a tempest. The two smaller vessels were never heard from again, but Saavedra pursued the voyage alone in theFlorida to the Moluccas, touching at the Ladrone Islands on the way. Nbw a well known Hawaiian tradition relates that in the reign of Keliiokaloa, son of Umi, a foreign vessel was wrecked at Keei, South Kona, Hawaii. According to the tradition, only the captain and his sister reached the shore in safety. From their kneeling on the beach, and remaining a long time in that posture, the place was called Kulou, as it is Unto this day. The natives received them kindly, and placed food before* them. These strangers intermarried with the Hawaiians, and were the progenitors of certain well known fami lie's of chiefs, as for instance, that of Kaikioewa, former governor of Kauai. IT we reckon by generations, allowing thirty years on an average to each generation, we find that Keliiokaloa was probably born about A. D. 1600. and was' reigning at this very time. This coincidence was first pointed out by Mr. H*. R Peirce, in a paper read before the California Acadamy of Sciences in 1880, and was' afterwards fully worked out by Horl. A. Fornander. As the latter has ahbWn, Saavedra's squadron, at the time of trie storm, was probably within 200 miles to the south-west of the Hawaiian Islands. The time was probably near the' erid of November, and the storm a regular Kona from the south-west, which would drive a vessel directly to the western coa** of Hawaii. No white people e'Kce'pt the Spaniards, were cruising in thtr Pacific Ocean at that early period, sftld' there stems to be little room for doubt tnat the foreign vessel which was wrecked on the Kona coast about this frhVe' Wis one of Saavedra's missing ships. No trace of Spanish influence on the1ancient Hawaiian arts, religion Or language has been proved to exist. Feather helmets were also worn by TaMtiari chiefs, although less artistic than thtrife' of the Hawaiians. The HawaiisttfWord' potto, right, has been supposed By Some to be derived from the Spanish butno, but it is a New Zealand word, rfleaning straight, or true, in that dialect. Poto is also a New Zealand word, meaning 1short. Again in 1542, Don Ruy Lopez dc Villalobos with Juan Gaetano as pilot, sailed from NaVidad, near Acapulco, in Mexico, for the Philippine Islands, the tfrriperor, Charles V, having sold his claim to the Spice Islands to Portugal ih 1839 for 380,y00 ducats. The narrative of the voyage states that 30 days tail from the coast, between 9* arid 11* N irth latitude, he discovered grbup of islands fringed with coral, * arid abchiriding with cocoanut trees, inhabited by Savages, nearly naked, wear- Februay, 1892.

A curious old document exists in ,the archives, appointing Don Marin captain in the Hawaiian Army, dated P«c. lQth, 1819, and signed by Boki. The Don deserves to be remembered for his example of industry and thrift, and his Access in cultivating many useful fruits and flowers such as oranges, figs, grapes, roses, &c. As early as 1809 we find him making butter, salting beef for ships, manufacturing wine, &c. He is said to have introduced the prickly pear for hedges, hence called by the natives "panini." The loss of his journal is much to be deplored. Another old settAsr was one Don Juan Eliot dc Castro, who was for a time employed by the Russian* in the fur trade on the American coaat. Having been imprisoned by the CaJifomian authorities in 1816, he was released at Capt. Kotzebue's request, and returned with him to the Islands, where he became Kamehameha's private secretary. His subsequent career I have apt been able to trace. The story of the Spanish piraXes who arrived here in 1818, has already haen my published in the Frietfd and "Brief History." The main points are as follows. -During the Chilian war of independence, the crew of the "Santa Rosa," a sloop of war from Buenos Ayres, mutinied and ran away with the vessel, After pillaging a town on the South American coast, they arrived at Kealakekua Bay with their plunder, where they sold the vessel to Kamehameha, and abandoned themselves to drunkenness and debauchery on shore. Their orgies were suddenly interrupted by the arrival of the frigate, "Argentina," Capt. Bouchard, which had been sent in pursuit of them, and promptly seized the "Santa Rosa." Capt. Bouchard having explained to the King that these men were pirates a°d robbers of churches, he had them caught and delivered up to justice. Mostofthe church plate and ornaments were- also restored. The ringleader was captured and shot on the beach at Waimea, Kauai. Capt. Bouchard afterwards sacked and burned the town of Monterey, and spread terror along the Californian coaat. Another pirate, the Qrocann* from Well- »» �12 Peru, visited the Islands under a false name in 1822, and was afterwards captured in the Austral Islands. The trade between the Hawaiian Islands and Spanish America steadily increased. Horses and cattle were frequently imported from California and sold at good prices. For example, in September 1828, a French ship, he Heros, from San Diego, brought down 17 horses, which sold for from $85 to $110 apiece. Flour was imported from Chili, and superseded the mouldy article brought around the Horn. As cattle multiplied and became an "important part of the wealth of the country, Californian and Mexican "vaqueros" or cowboys were imported to manage the "ranches;" hence the native term 4 'paniolo," a corruption of "Espagnol." They introduced the Spanish method of lassoing, breaking and training horses and cattle, and perhaps the barbarous method of milking cows formerly practiced here. The Spanish saddle, stirrup and spurs, the sombrero or broad-brimmed hat, and the Mexican poncho were all familiar to the old residents. The use of adobe or sun-dried bricks for building purposes, which was formerly common here, was no doubt derived from Spanish America. The only currency in circulation consisted of Spanish silver coins and gold doubloons, and it is only of late years that thereal has been withdrawn from circulation. On account ofthe lack of good schools in California, several boys from some of the best families were sent here about 1840, to be educated at the old "Oahu Charity School," under the care of good Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Johnstone. One of these boys, Romualdo Pacheco, afterwards held the offices of State Senator and lieutenant governor of the State of California, after its annexation to the United States. This event and the discovery of gold in '49 ushered in a new era in the history of these islands, and set in motion a series of changes which have nearly obliterated the last vestiges of early Spanish influence. [February, 1892. THE FRIEND. W. D. Alexander. An "Old Probabilities."—Prof. C. J. Lyons is running a "Weather Bureau" at the Survey Office. He is getting to be an adept. About the 20th ult., he said to us, "It is going to rain on the 29th." It did, and poured so hard that we felt it necessary to telephone and ask him, if he was not overdoing the matter. Mr. Lyons is working out some most valuable scientific results from his careful record for many years of barometer and tide-guage. The peculiar position of this group in the center of a vast and exceptionally quiet ocean, makes such records of peculiar importance. The Hawaiian Historical Society. Central Union Church Building. Chaplain Hoes of U. S. S. Pensacola, has been rendering a most important service to our Islands, by lending his valuable special experience to promote the organization of this Society. A leading feature of its work is the collection of all printed and manuscript documents of every sort, calculated to throw any light on the past in these Islands. Mr. Hoes is lending his experienced service as the Librarian. He has already collected and arranged a wonderful amount and variety of material, such as would otherwise be steadily going to waste, for lack of such a nucleus as is now provided. A meeting of the Society was held at the Public Library on the evening of the 28th ult., when Prof. Alexander read the excellent paper printed in this issue of The Friend upon "The Relations between the Hawaiian Islands and Spanish America in earlytimes. " Over one hundred new members were votedin. The admission fee is five dollars. Considerable funds are required for binding and other expenses. To illustrate the importance of this old document business; few persons perhaps are aware how much important information Prof. Alexander, while writing his new History, has unearthed from certain old boxes of loose papers found stowed away in the Government buildings. On Wednesday evening, the '27th ult., there was a special meeting ofthe church and congregation to hear a report from the Building committee. Prom this report it appeared that it was necessary to make an early provision of additional funds in order to carry on the work of building. Such additional supply of means it had been expected to call for somewhat later; but owing to the hard times, there had been some difficulty in the collection of the old subscriptions, although it was believed that very nearly all would ultimately be realized. About $6000 a month are needed, and about $40,000 more than are yet provided for, which amount is not very much above the original estimates. Three courses were said to be open. First, to suspend progress on the audience portion of the building, and finish the School and other rooms for temporary use. Second, to issue bonds for $40,000., thus incurring a heavy debt. This the Committee favored. Third, to raise the funds by subscription, which in the present financial stringency, they deemed impracticable. The congregation rose bravely to the occasion. A strong determination was expressed to raise the needed money by subscription, and a committee for that purpose was appointed. A general unwillingness to saddle the building with debt was earnestly expressed, although that would be better, economically, than to half finish it. The only demur that arose from anyone, was from the apprehension that such a severe drain upon the means ofthe church would paralyze their contributions to their regular Mission and Educational work, than which result nothing could be more ..ilamitous, or more discreditable to the ihurch. The character of this church is too well established to believe that they will allow any public claim to take precedence of our outside Christian work, and of fillingthe already alarmingly depleted treasury of our our leading agency in that work, the Hawaiian Board. To meet this sacred obligation, and at the same time to carry on our noble building, will call for a degree of effort and sacrifice, that only a most consecrated purpose will prove equal to. Such effort and sacrifice will bring rich spiritual The Kamehameha Glee Club gave a concert at the Opera House, on the 22d ult. It was highly praised. Mr. Theo. Richards conducted. There was an instrumental quintette of five. Good for the Kamehameha boys. A Specialist for the Lepers.—The Board of Health have the definite prospect of very soon securing from England the services of a suitable expert to locate at Molokai and treat the disease in the most scientific manner. Correspondence to this end has been going on for sev- eral months between the Foreign Office and the National Leprosy Fund, of England. While no effectual cure for Leprosy is yet anywhere in sight, very great relief can be given. The road to discovery of a cure lies through such scientific treatment. A most serious difficulty in such efforts at Molokai, will lie in securing obedience on the part of native patients to the prescriptions of the doctor, against whom the entire force of the kahunas is arrayed. His success will largely depend upon his power to win the confidence of the people, which will not be easy. blessing with it. Annual Reports of Central Union Church.—The usual annual reports were presented at meetings of January 20th and 27th. No specially new features appeared. The various departments of the church work had been fairly prospered. The reports will as usual, be printed in pamphlet form. �Volume 50, No. 2.] Spiritual Labors Among Seamen. It having transpired that Rev. F. N. Greely during his late passage around Cape Horn had been deeply interested in the crew of the ship, and had been the means of leading some of them to the Savior, several gentlemen interested in seamen frequenting this port have asked him during his visit here to do such work among them as his strength permitted. Mr. Greely has been somewhat actively engaged in visiting and conversing with the seamen in port, and having his attention thus directed to their numbers and their spiritual needs, he has taken occasion to lay before the Christian public of Honolulu, some of those needs as he finds them. He says: "The following facts have been impressed upon me during a single month of even most superficial effort. "From two hundred to fifteen hundred men at a time in your harbor; hearty welcome and gratifying responses, in manner at least, and words of greeting and a cordial hand-grasp; a disposition on the part of some to visit the reading rooms and attend the services to which they have been personally invited; the need of a Home designed and built with special reference to their entertainment and welfare; and a possibility, yes, a promise of men led to the truth and to Christ from efforts attempted in his name." The American Seamen's Friend Socie ty terminated their Chaplaincy here some seven years ago, when the lamented Father Damon retired from labor by reason of age and infirmity, Some colporteur work has since that time been quite regularly maintained by our Christian people, and many seamen have been brought into our religious meetings, notably those of the V.M.C.A. In the meantime, the Trustees of the Sailor's Home have been preparing to build, and are now well advanced in their plans. No doubt the present financial stringency tends to hinder. It is to be hoped that Mr. Greely's work and wisely earnest spirit will contribute effectively towards a full and early materialization of those plans; and that by their means, the moral and social needs of this most important class of frequenters of our ports will be provided for, as they now are not. Such a Home, as we hope ere long to see in operation for the cheer and comfort of seamen, will be also a most important auxiliary in promoting their spiritual advantage. When a sailor becomes a Christian, we know how warmhearted, zealous, and resolute a Christian he is apt to make, and what cheer and stimulus he often brings into our Christian gatherings. A Sailor's Home will naturally become a rallying place for such earnest Christian men. THE 13 FRIEND. Mr. Shimchi Ando, Ph. 8., is now assistant chemist at the N. Y.

Those whom the Council had approved rose as their names were called and repeated, after the pastor, the Creed and the Covenant. They then arranged themselves in the form of a cross, two lines leading from the pulpit to the entrance, and two others extending from the centre aisle to the walls on each side. The pastor, accompanied by Rev. A. Y. Soares bearing the baptismal bowl, passed down the lines baptising each individual, and the thirty-three children who had been brought forward by their parents. Some few did not care to be rebaptised, accepting as valid their baptism while previously connected with the Romish Church. Then those who were to partake of the communion took 6eats in the main room and received the bread and wine in the usual form, the The Funeral of Maurice Adler was largely attended.

While your Committee feel in a measure there is much cause for joy and congratulation in the above report, yet there is so much still untouched in the work about us, that it behooves us to urge forward to greater endeavor; especially do we refer to the necessity of a SubCommittee on Harbor Work. A grand field lies open in this direction and our Association should embrace this opportunity for furthering the interests of the Master's cause and sending good cheer and the gospel over the seas. With an additional suggestion we close. Reference is occassionally made in our meetings to the limited number who take part.

This building was fitted up by the association, its name changed to Bethel Hall and services began in it on December 26. Prom the very beginning these meet ings have not only been well attended but also of great interest. Men have been inquiring the way to God. A score or more have expressed their determination, with God's help to lead a Christian life. Of these quite a number have come out very clearly as to their knowledge of their acceptance by and sonship with Jesus Christ. The work has been of great benefit to some of those, who although Christians had allowed themselves to sleep while on duty. Work for God biings its blessing not only to those for whom we labor but also to the laborers. When the Divine life in the soul is quickened then men respond to the pleadings and leadings ofthe Holy Spirit. The work is still going forward; work for God once started never stops. The meetings in Bethel Hall will continue, if not every night at least thiee or four nights in the week. The members of the Y. M. C. A. cannot afford to allow a few to carry on this work. Let us put some of our prayers into actions, some of our aspiring thoughts into loving deeds. "For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. We often pray that God's kingdom may come; do we mean it; or is il a mere form of words ? Our actions and life tell to others as well as to ourselves how much we are in earnest. Reading Room. By the contributions of a few of our members the reading room committee will he able this month, to add to the attractions ofthe reading room by placing half a dozen large photogravures with handsome koa frames upon its walls. These will not only add to the attractiveness of the room but also give visitors some idea of the loveliness of this Hawaiian paradise. Monthly Meeting Y.M.C.A., held January21, 1892.

Coming at a period when the hostility of the foreigners to the missionaries was perA large audience assembled on Sun- haps at the height of its bitterness, he day evening, January 3d, at Central was to them a prudent and stedfast Union Church, to htar the informal re- friend, as he ever continued to be. His Council. port made by Justice L. McCully, as Delegate from the Hawaiian Evangelical Association, to the International Council of Congregational Churches, held in London during July, 1891. Our Delegate began by thanking the churches for having added to his European tour such an unusual social and religious enjoyment, as was experienced at this Council. It was opened at Memorial Hall on July 12th, and continued ten days. Mr. and Mrs. McCully were made the guests of Mr. A. Spicer, at his palatial home in the suburbs, where they were brought into intimate intercourse with many prominent delegates. The speaker noted the great variety and interest of the many papers read, and of the addresses made, extended reports of which have appeared in the American religious journals. He was especially impressed with the advanced theological views of the English divines, as contrasted with the conservative opinions of many Americans. Our Delegate twice embraced opportunities given him for brief speeches at the Council, in which he took occasion to correct some mistaken impressions current in Faigland respecting social and political affairs at these Islands. FVom printed reports of those remarks of Judge McCully, as well as from his own statements, we judge his statements to have been made with excellent judgment, and likely to be useful. The hospitalities and entertainments at the Council were abundant and varied, and were greatly enjoyed. Among them were trips to John Bun yan's Bedford home, also to Scroobywhere the Plymouth Pilgrims originated- unusual business capacity was proved by his success in the then difficult business of sugar planting. Practically, he was the father of successful sugar industry here. Dr. Wood was one of the very last links connecting us with the days of the old chiefs and people who had known and feared Kamehameha, and the old gods and sacrifices. In 1839 when he came here, Honolulu was a town mainly of thatched huts, with wheeled vehicles almost unknown. Results of Astronomical Work at Waikiki. Nature, of Dec. 3rd, reports Sir William Thompson as saying: "Prof. Eoerster of Berlin tells me that he has already received from Honolulu a first instalment of several hundred determinations of latitude, made during a first three months of the proposed year of observations; and that, comparing these results with the corresponding results of the Berlin Observatory, he finds beyond doubt that in these three months the latitude increased in Berlin by one-third of a second, and decreased in Honolulu by almost exactly the same amount. Thus we have decisive demonstration, that motion relatively to the earth, of the earth's instantaneous axis of rotation, is the cause of the variations of latitude which had been observed in Berlin, Greenwich, and other observatories, and which could not be wholly attributed to errors of observation." "These irregular movements of the earth's axis are believed to be produced by temporary changes of sea-level due to meteorological causes."

These works had only recently completed their great contract for the Ewa Mill, for over $200,000. Meantime the older establishment, the Honolulu Iron Works, continues to supply the needs of the country, as to machinery. The immense depreciation of sugar values consequent on the McKinley Tariff Act will undoubtedly cause the suspension of the weaker class of sugar plantations to a considerable extent, and a general shrinkage of values in all of them. Hawaii has enjoyed fifteen "fat years;" we will hope that the coming years will not be distressingly lean, although "hard times" are evidently entered upon. Here is an eloquent citation from Sir Bartle Frere's article on the adaptation of Christianity to all forms of civilization, in the "Missionary Intelligencer" (linglish): "I speak simply as to matters of experience and observation, and not of opinion; just as a Roman prefect might have reported to Trajan or the Antonines; and I assure you that, whatever you may be told to the contrary, the teaching of Christianity among 160,-000,000 of civilized, industrious Hindus and Mohammedans in India is effecting changes, moral, social, and political, which for extent and rapidity of effect are far more extraordinary than anything you or your fathers have witnessed in modern Europe. Presented for the first time to most of the teeming Indian communities within the memory of men yet alive—preached by only a few scores of Europeans, who, with rare exceptions, had not previous!' been remarkable among thi ii own people in Europe for intellectual power or cultivation, who had little of worldly power or sagacity, and none of the worldly motives which usually carry men onward to success—Christianity has nevertheless, in the course of fifty years, made its way to every part ofthe vast mass of Indian civilized humanity, and is now an active, operative, aggressive power in every branch of social and political life on that continent." Doing wrong always poisons something good in your own soul. The man who conquers himself fights a battle that the angels exult in. There are no disappointments to those whose wills are buried deep in the will of God. No man is really a large man who does not feel that his duty is larger than himself. Holiness does not consist in doing uncommon things, but in doing everything with purity of heart. �18 THE FRIEND. CASTLE & COOKE, HARDWARE, Inootpontteed ihmo.

Willi the must heart)- good will we wish to all our nailers and patrons a Happ>' New Year! May this year ol 1892 be filled with blessings and mercies to each one, and maj we all have cheerful and contented hearts, to rejoice in all that is bright in our lot. and not to repine at what may be otherwise. One of those things which ma)- be taken cheerfully or otherwise, is a diminished pecuniary ability to meet the claims upon is of God's work in these Islands, wl.;!. those claims are increasing rather than diminishing, The regular work of our Hawaiian Hoard now calls for an outla) of nearly two thousand dollars a month. To meet these and other needs will require on the part of our Christian people somewhat heroic efforts, and perhaps serious self denial and sacrifi c. We feel confident that they will n j tice to make such sacrifices. They will gladly embrace the opportu- JANUARY, nity for participating in the Christian heroism that has adorned the lives of Christ's saints through the ages, and has heen not least resplendent in these days of glorious growth of the Kingdom. The circular issued by the Treasurer and Secretary of the Board, reprinted in this issue, tells the story of their needs. We are confident that the many and earnest prayers of our Christian people will he answered by adequate succor to this great work in its many branches Our political affairs while free from serious turbulence, or sense of insecurity, are in a somewhat undefined condition, without definite issues clearly made by responsible parties. This state of things is doubtless one of the conditions incident to a period which has begun, somewhat transitional in our national life. Christian people, who believe that political order and security must depend upon a general love by the people of righteousness and honesty, will the more earnestly address themselves to make the power of their Lord's holy life and teaching felt by the whole community, so that our government may be administered in the fear of God. Meantime all will earnestly pray that our good Queen may be abundantly endowed with wisdom and grace for the difficult duties of her responsible position. Illness of Gen. S. C. Armstrong. NUMHF.K 1. 1892. 1 Volume His case seemed likely at first to be speedily fatal. Subsequent symptoms indicated the cause not to be a clot on the brain, as at first supposed; and there seems to be a good prospect that with the General's vigorous constitution, he may so far recover as to be able to attend somewhat to the affairs of the school, although he will undoubtedly be debarred from public efforts. As the school has hitherto depended upon his personal labors to raise the large sums required for its annual outlay, great solicitude is felt in the matter. In the meantime his Hampton choir are going on with their work, and money has been sent unsolicited, to the sufferer at the Parker House. It is gratifying to know that his mind is clear, although speech is much obstructed by the paralysis. A series of graphic and serviceable letters about the Hawaiian Islands from Gen. Armstrong's pen have appeared in the Southern Workman since his return from here. His so recent visit to his native land and our delightful intercourse with him renders more poignant the sorrow with which Hawaiians mourn this check to his activity. Hawaiian Politics.—Notwithstanding the fact that it is only five weeks before the biennial election of legislators, no very definite public action seems to have been taken by any party except the •'National Liberals" led by K. W. Wilcox and J. E. Bush. These gentlemen who three years ago were seeking to restore arbitrary power to the King, now avow a desire to overthrow the Monarchy and establish an independent republic. It is not believed that any considerable proportion of either natives or foreigners are with them. The motive commonly attributed to their course is mainly a despair of gaining office by any other means. The notorious C. C. Moreno, now in Washington, has been parading in the eastern papers, the terrible designs of these revolutionists of Hawaii, who are held in check only by the "oppressive, rapacious, etc., missionaries." To these repressive agencies might be added the great majority of the native and foreign inhabitants, who do not appear to desire any change of government. We make these observations in hope of relieving the anxieties of our readers abroad, who may very naturally feel disturbed by those reports According to present appearances, this noble philanthropist and educator of the American Negroes has come to the end of his active career, greatly to the sorrow and dismay of the friends of the Hampton work. With a corps of Hampton singers, he was holding a series of vigorous and successful meetings in Massachusetts, raising funds for the school. On Thanksgiving Day, in the midst of a meeting near Boston, he was struck down with paralysis of the left side. He was carried to the Parker House, where he doubtless still lies, as there was no prospect of a very speedy removal to his home. His {amity were soon with him. He had felt symptoms of the trouble for three days, but had of Hawaiian revolutionizes. attached little importance to them. �("January, 1892. THE FRIEND 2 .' - Founder's Day at Kamehameha School.

We fjiye the following vivid description from the pen of Robert Louis Stevenson in his story, "The Wrecker," in Scribtttr'i Monthly. It powerfully delineates that peculiar combination of energy, intelligence, brutality, and yet on the whole, good intention, which is found in so many American shipmasters and officers, men who on shore are often excellent citizens and family men, yet at sea maintain what is little else than a state of cruel war with their men, themselves deeply brutalized. We have reprinted this description in the hope of siding to a better understanding of those evil conditions which so terribly pervert the happy relations which ideally should subsist between employers and employed at sea as well as on land. Christ would have us to make peace; but to do so, we must clearly apprehend the nature and causes of the war, and the mental states of the contending parties. We regard the following description as a most valuable contribution to that end. I had no lack of intellectual exercise nl a different order in the study of my inconsistent friend, the captain. I call him friend, here on the threshold; but that is to look well ahead. At first, I was too much horrified by what I considered his barbarites, too much puzzled by his shifting humors, and too frequently annoyed by his small vanities, to regard him otherwise than as the cross of mv existence. It was only by degrees, in his rare hours of pleasantness, when In forgot (and made me forget) the weaknesses to which he was so prone, that he won me to a kind of unconsenting fondness. Lastly, the faults were all embraced in a more generous view : I saw them in their place, like discords in a musical progression; and accepted them and found them picturesque, as we accept and admire, in the habitable face of nature, the smoky head of the volcano, or the pernicious thicket of the swamp. He was come of good people down Last, and had the beginnings of a thorough education. His temper had been ungovernable from the first; and it is likely the defect was inherited, and the blame of the rupture not entirely his. He ran away at least to sea; suffered horrible maltreatment, which seemed to have rather hardened than enlightened him; ran away again to shore in a South American port; proved his capacity and made money, although still a child; fell among thieves and was robbed; worked back a passage to the States, and knocked one morning at the door of an old lady whose orchard he had often robbed.

The obsequies were held at the residence of the deceased on the afternoon of Sunday, December 6, and were attended by a great throng of our citizens, as well as by Her Majesty the Queen, with public officials, and foreign representatives, etc. The services were conducted by the pastor of the deceased. Rev. E. G. Beckwith, who spoke feelingly of his Christian spirit as well as of his exalted public services. The pallbearers were Gov. Cleghorn, His Ex. C. N. Spencer, Hon. J. T. Waterhouse Jr., L. A.

She was sleeping very quietly when the final spasm closed the struggle. Her birth was at Birmingham, England, Eebruary 14, 1813. Married July 6, 1838, to Mr. Waterhouse; after several years of residence in Australia, they removed in 1851 to Honolulu, which has since then been their family home, although of late years, the aged couple have resided much at Cedar Rapids; lowa, and have spent much time in England, crossing the Atlantic almost yearly. Mrs. Waterhouse was in many respects, a woman of rare excellences of character. While of a sweet, cheerful, and controlled spirit, she was strong in will, and clear in judgment. She was a strong helper and wise counsellor to her husband, in both the acquisition and the management of his large property, as well as to an unusual degree the stay and solace of his domestic life. None but her own children can tell what was her unsurpassed excellence as a wise, tender, Christian mother. Her own life was one of faith, and she had the joy of seeing all her children walking in the ways of Christ. Her surviving children are Messrs. John and Henry Waterhouse of this city, Mr. William Waterhouse of Cedar Rapids, and Mrs. W. H. Rice of Lihue, Kauai. There are also two grandsons, Messrs. William and Henry Dimond, by a daughter deceased in early life. It is with grief that we consider that we shall no more meet so familiarly and delightfully the cheering and comforting face of this honored Mother. Our tenderest sympathies go out to the aged and bereaved husband, whom may the dear Lord comfort and guide. Hawaian Types in Sculpture.— The Kawaiahao Sabbath School children were feasted with a luau on Christmas Day. Her Majesty the Cjueen lent her presence, to the delight of the young folks. The Cjueen attended Pontifical mass in the morning at the R. C. Cathedral. The annual Christmas 'free ccltbia tion was held Tuesday evening the 22nd, in the audience room ol the church. The great school was rather reinforced in numbers for the occasion than depleted. A very funny ami snowy-bearded Santa Claus dispensed the copious fruitage of the large and brilliant tree, after which the children adjourned tti the parlors below, to till up with cake and ice cream, which were plentifully supplied.

It seems to contain everything that one can want of statistical information respecting these Islands. Pour pages give results of the Census of population. Seventy-five pages aie occupied with miscellaneous matter of great interest. There are two photogravure plates of Hawaiian Land Shells, accompanying an article by Prof. A. B. Lyons.

All who desire to be intelligently informed thereon should get this number, and also previous numbers if not already owning them. Judge L.

The Chilian Trouble.—It is with great pain and solicitude that we notice the apparently unconciliatory attitude of Chili toward the United States in the Baltimore matter. The latter government has no glory to gain by a war with Chili, nor can Chili reasonably expect anything but disaster from such a conflict. No friend of either country can tail to deprecate a war which must beso injurious to the progress of the weaker state. We feel assured that the stronger and limit enlightened Power will exhaust the resources of diplomacy before employing force to gain redress. This kingdom, as well as the Pacific states, cannot fail to nolo one necessary result of this contention. It will strongly fix the attention of the whole American people upon their naval necessities in the Pacific, towards which a majority of them have been extremely indifferent. A continuance of this quarrel with Chili must create a strong sense, now lacking, of the immediate need of the Nicaragua Canal, which if now open would arm the United States with triple power against her adversary, such as would probably secure the most considerate behsvior on the part of Chili. Coming nearer home, this affair is likely to intensify the American sense of need of their proposed Naval Station at Pearl Harbor. Both of those measures seem likely now to receive fresh impetus.

That.the Hawaiians are a race of unusual stature, has Kmo been matter of common observation. Superiority Of muscular power has not been so commonly attributed to them. Much doubt has been expressed whether they would prove capable of the protracted endur ance shown by the English and American teams who pulled against each other for three hours continuously without result, the British team gaining the victory the next night.

This time our page is luiitor. devoted to a statement of the financial condition of the Hawaiian Board. We believe our pastors are interested in the facts and are willing to face them even when they argue a need of funds, and suggest the propriety of contribution. Il is a great benefit all around that tbe Board is carrying on so extensive a work. Its organization is not vet complete, nor are its newer missions adequately developed, and some day We hope to see it establish a mission to the unchurched white man of these Islands. But to keep it at what it is now doing is the obligation of every one. Many have received our circular. We ask oil who read this page to take it as a personal matter, and send us what the)- can. The first to respond to our circular was the beloved pastor of the Central Union Church. The coffers were about empty when his hundred dollars came in. Next came a niter from latin i Waterhouse promising the Board one hundred and lift) dollars a month for twenty-four months. Such a promise is a stout staff to lean on. and will help can')- the work forward a Ion:; way. Such a way of giving is very acceptable, and will save the Secretary and Treasurer a good bit of won)-. Another has promised to give twenty dollars on the last day of the voir. We hear of still a foiutii who was inquiring after tin- Secretary with a purpose to make a donation. A letter has come from vet another, a firm, strong friend of the Board and of every other good cause, saving that he will certainly give in his contribution soon. Who will be the next to help us ? Good friends, if you will all do something, each according to his ability. the required balance will be forthcoming and the work will go on without a jog. We want you to have a propertyright in what is being done even to the smallest sum. When you have given us your hard earned money, we knowthat we shall also have your kindly interest and continued remembrance at the throne of grace. Two live dollar subscriptions just received, are hereby gladly acknowledged. Rooms of the Hawaiian Board, Honolulu, Dec. 15, 1891. Dear Sir: The Board of the Hawaii Evangelical Association, through its Secretary and Treasurer invites your kind consideration of the following facts touching the work it has in charge: an There are now six separate missions which are being cared for by our Board. They are in fair state of organization with Church buildings and school houses, and pastors, teachers and evangelists. fhe heavy outlays called for at the starting of the new missions have mostly been met. A few hundred dollars are yet due on the l'ortuguese chapel just erected at Hilo. With this exception, it but remains that we keep the work on its present basis with a view to natural enlargements. The monies we accordingly ask are not for building purposes. By your generous aid this part of the work has been already well advanced. Our aim is now to perfect existing organizations and keep the field manned with wellsupported and vigorous workers. In what we are doing ioi native Hawaiians, tin- educational department requires most outlay. The North Pacific Mission. try Institute and the Kohala Girls' School, which are directly under the charge of the Board, have been brought, at a considerable expense, to a fine state of efficiency. It remains that we continue to these institutions, so invaluable to the cause, our most generous support. We lack the means to extend, as we feet we ought, the list of our Hawaiian publications. The late Mr. H. R. Hitchcock's valuable translation of the "Story of the Bible " is still in manuscript, awaiting the means of publication. Though our missionary pastor, the Rev. S. Waiwaiole, is doing a good work among our afflicted brethren of the Leper Settlement, we have not yet established our long talked of school there. Lor such a work funds would be needed. There is also a special call for schoolwork to be done among the Portuguese and the Chinese. Our school accommodations for these people are already over-crowded, and yet new pupils are pressing for entrance. Whatever else is done, this demand for the education of the youths of thase two prolific races which take so naturally to our Hawaiian soil must be met, for so we shall best be preparing them for intelligent, Christian citizenship. Our responsibility for the evangelization of the Japanese has been greatly enlarged. Formerly, the laborers of but one island, now those of the entire group, are under our care. In view of the present and prospective increase of these people among us, this community cannot afford to let them remain unevangelized. In assuming to establish a general city mission with two resident evangelists, and with Queen Emma Hall as a center, we have virtually added a seventh mission to our care, a rescue mission, this time for wanderers among our white brethren as well as for other unchurched people. In its support we ' 7 THE FRIEND. are ably seconded by the brethren of the Y. M. C. A., and by the sisters of the W. C. T. U. This mission is daily proving its usefulness, and we aie confident that our patrons will continue to grant it their liberal support. Most hopeful reports of a great awakening in our Gilbert Isl.mils' missions have come to gladden us, and revive interest in the foreign work. The feeling is, that this mission, which is now manned in part by aged Hawaiians, should be reinforced with new recruits. A most urgent request for aid has come from the Hawaiian brethren laboring in the Marquesas, With much toil, and with almost no help, they have built up two boarding schools the only two Protestant schools n( the kind on those islands. In response, the Board has ventured, and we believe with the approval of its constituents, to vote a slight addition to the usual giant. It is with these man) 1 appealing voices in our ears that we lay the facts before you, glad to tell of what has been clone, and confident, that with your liberal aid, we shall be permitted to achieve yet larger things.

One night Cjueen Emma Hall was so crowded that all could not be accommodated. In view of this fact an experiment has been entered upon of hiring for one month the galvanized iron building on Bethel street, that has been used as saloon, shooting gallery, and for political caucuses generally. It will accommodate about 160 persons, it is thought, and has the decided advantage of being in a much more central position than Cjueen Emma Hall, and the street preachers and workers, can tbe better bung in the different ones, whom they may be able to persuade to attend. Referring once- again to the Sunday Evening services, we would oiler the following statement by wav of compan son. 'l'he gain in attendance upon last month is very marked. Last month's average was .s:;. as compared with the present months average ol lU7, again of an average of 2 1 per Sunday. Then again take it as compared to one year ago. 'l'he corresponding period of one year ago shows a total of 219, and an average of a I as compared with present total of 128, and an average ol 107. 'l'he increase has almost (11 nihil il, or I 00 per Cent, more than one v ear ago. We regard all these indications simply • therefore, believing as encouraging, and, that the Lord of Hosts is with us. we may rightly expect more, and ever increasing iios is than ever.

Our �THE FRIEND. 1 (Continued from page J.) sufficient; but Nares knew what he was doing. The sight of her old neighborly depredator shivering at the door in tatters, the very oddity of his appeal, touched a soft spot in the spinster's She clothed heart. * him, taught him, had him to sea again in better shape, welcomed him to her hearth on his return from every cruise, and wrten she died, bequeathed him her Since then possessions. he had prospered, not uneventfully, in his profession; the old lady's money had fallen in during the voyage of the Gleaner, and he was now. as soon as the smoke of that engagement cleared away, secure of his ship. 1 suppose he was about thirty; a powerful, active man, with a blue eye. a thick head of hair, about the color of oakum and growing low over the brow: clean-shaved and lean about the jaw; a good singer; a good performer on that sea instrument, the accordion; a quick observer, a close reasoner; when he pleased, of a really elegant address: and when he chose, the greatest brute upon the seas. His usage of the men, his hazing, his bullying, his perpetual fault-finding for no cause, his perpetual and brutal sarcasm, might have raised a mutiny in a slave-galley. Suppose the steersman's eve to have wandered: "You little mutton faced Dutchman," Nares would bawl; "you want a booting to I know a litkeep you on your course tle city-front slush when I see one. Just YOU glue your eve to that compass, or I'll show you round the vessel at the but-end of my boot." Or suppose a hand to linger aft. where he had perhaps been summoned not a minute before. "Mr Daniells, will you oblige me Instepping clear of that main-sheet ?" the captain might begin, with truculent courtesy, "Thank you. And perhaps you'll be so kind as to tell me what the you aredoing on my quarter-deck? I want no dirt ofyour sort here. Is there nothing for you to do ? Where's the mate? Don't you set me to find work for you, or I'll find some that will keep you on your back a fortnight." Such allocutions, conceived with a perfect knowledge of his audience, so that every insult carried home, were delivered with a mien so menacing, and an eye so fiercely cruel, that his unhappy subordinates shrank and quailed. Too often violence followed; too often have I heard and seen, and boiled at the cowardly aggression; and the victim, his hands bound by law, has risen again from deck, and crawled forward stupefied—l know not what passion of revenge in his wronged heart. It seems strange I should have grown to like this tyrant. It may even seem strange that I should have stood by and suffered his excesse*- to proceed. But I was not rfuite such a chicken as to interfere in public; for I would rather have a man or two mishandled than one half , I —, of us butchered in a mutiny and the rest suffer on the gallows. And in private, I was unceasing in my protests. "Captain," 1 once said to him, appealing to his patriotism, which was of a hardy quality, "this is no way to treat American seamen. You don't call it American to treat men like dogs?" "Americans?'' he said grimly. "Do you call these Dutchmen and Scattermouches," Americans ? I've been fourteen years to sea, all but one trip under American colors, and I've never laid eye There on an American foremast hand. used to be such things in the old days, when thirty-five dollars were the wages out of Boston; and then you could see ships handled and run the way they want to be. But that's all past and gone; nowadays the only thing that dies in an American ship is a belaying pin. You don't know; you haven't a guess. How would you like to go on deck for your middle watch, fourteen months on end, with all your duty to do and every one's life depending on you, and expect to get a knife ripped into you as you come out of your state-room, or be sand-bagged as you pass the boat, or get tripped into the hold, if the hatches are off in fine weather ? That kind of shakes the starch out of the brotherly love and New Jerusalem business. You go through the mill, and you'll have a bigger grudge against every old shell-back that dirties his plate in the tluee oceans, than the Bank of California could settle up. No; it has an ugly look to it, hut the only way to run a ship is to make yourself a tenor." "Come, Captain," said I, "there are degrees in eveiy thing. You know American ships have a bad name; you know perfectly well if it wasn't for the high wage and good food, there's not a man would ship in one if he could help; and even as it is, some prefer a British ship, beastly food and all." "Oh, the time-juicers?" said he. "There's plenty booting in lime-juicers. I guess, though I don't deny but what some of them are soft. * * It was in 1874 I shipped mate in the British ship, Maria, from Frisco for Melbourne. She was the queerest craft in some ways that I ever was aboard of. The food was a caution; there was nothing fit to put your lips to—but the limejuice, which was from the end-bin, no doubt: it used to make me sick to see the men's dinners, and sorry to see my own. The old man was good enough, I guess; Green was his name; a mild, fatherly old galoot. But the hands were the lowest gang I ever handled; and whenever I tried to knock a little spirit into them, the old man took their part ! It was Gilbert and Sullivan on the high seas; but you bet I wouldn't let any man dictate to me. 'You give me your orders, Capt. Green,' I said, 'and you'll . find I'll carry them out; that's all you've got to say. You'll find Ido my duty,' I said; 'how I do it is my lookout; and there's no man born that's going to give me lessons.' Well, there was plenty dirt on board that Maria first and last. Of course the old man put my back up, and of course, he put up the crew's; and I had to regular fight my way through every watch. The men got to hate me, so's I would hear them grit their teeth when I came up. At last, one day, I saw a big hulking beast of a Dutchman booting the ship's boy. I made one shoot of it off the house and laid that Dutchman out. Up he came, and I laid him out again. 'Now, I said, 'if there's a kick left in you, just mention it, and I'll stamp your ribs in like a packingcase.' He thought better of it, and he never let on; lay there as mild as a deacon at a funeral; and they took him below to reflect on his native Dutchland. ■* But you wait a bit, the cream's * coming. We made Melbourne right enough, and the old man said, 'Mr. Nares, you and me don't draw together. You're a fust rate seaman, no mistake of that: but you're the most disagreeable man I ever sailed with; and your languageand your conduct to the crew I cannot stomach. I guess we'll separate.' I didn't care about the berth, you may be sure: but 1 felt kind of mean; and if he made one kind of stink, I thought I could make another. So I said I would go ashore, and see how things stood; went, found I was all light, and came aboard again on the top rail. 'Are you getting your traps together, Mr. Nares,' says the old man.— 'No.' says I; 'I don't know as we'll separate much before 'Frisco; at least,' I said, 'it's a point for your consideration. I'm very willing to say good-bv to the Maria, but I don't know whether you'll care to start me out with three months' wages. He got his money-box right away. 'My son,' said he, T think it cheap at the money.' He had me there.'' It was a singular tale for the man to tell of himself; above all, in the midst of our discussion; but it was quite in character with Nares. I never made any good hit in our disputes, I never justly resented any act or speech of his, but what I found it long after carefully posted in his day-book, and reckoned (here was the man's oddity) to my credit. It was the same with his father, whom he had hated; he would give a sketch of the old fellow, frank and credible, and yet so honestly touched that it was charming. I have never met a man so strangely constituted: to possess a reason of the most equal justice, to have his nerves quivering at the same time with petty spite, and to act upon the nerves and not the reason. — Whatever becomes of my body or my In ma-lingo (Pads*) ■'Dun hman" include*all Teutons estate, I will ever labor to find someand lull: front ttie basin ..I tin- Baltic; "Scatlsswoui Ii". all what added to the stature of my soul.
