The effort to vote out the new Cabinet which failed on Sept. 16th was renewed October 17th, and carried by a vote of 31 to 15. Seven natives changed their votes. The white vote stood the same as before. The natives had found that the removal of Marshal Wilson, which had been promised them, did not take place. The white opposition members appeared to have cared less for this, than for a somewhat conspicuous element in the Cabinet of hostility to the American Minister, which incapacitated them for securing desired treaty advantages from the United States. That element was believed to have found expression in the personal attacks upon the Minister in the Bulletin. As we write ten days have elapsed since the removal of the Cabinet without a new one being appointed, leaving matters in a deadlock, awaiting Her Majesty's action. She apparently declines to regard a request made her to let some leading member of the opposition nominate a Cabinet, and doubtless insists on having a Ministry who will retain Marshal Wilson in office. There is little or no public agitation about the matter, which will be adjusted somehow. Mr. Walkup is expected here in three weeks with the gasoline issionary yacht Hiram Bingham, on his way to the Gilbert Islands. out HAS HAWAII STABLE GOVERNMENT? to restore the old order.

But it is a terribly wrong thing to entice these poor people to a country where they are at the mercy of Spanish masters, and where the climate will be fatal to most of them. We hope that the British authorities now in possession of the Gilbert Islands will forbid any more of the natives to ship to Mexican or Central American ports. Death of Mrs. Sinclair. From the I'. C Advertiser. Under the usual heading will be found notice of the death of Mrs. E. Sinclair, of Makaweli, Kauai. Mrs. S. arrived here with her family from New Zealand, twenty-nine years ago, and having made the purchase of the island of Niihau, for a sheep ranch, from K.mn li.nn. ha IV., for the sum of $l(l,00o, scttkd at Makaweli, which large tract she sub sequently purchased, and where she has lived ever since she arrived here, never having left Kauai except for a short visit to Niihau. She leaves two children, Mrs. Knudsen, now in this city, and a son, Francis Sinclair, now living in Alameda, Cal. Besides the above, several grand and great grand-children survive her, residing here and in California. Mrs. S. was a most remarkable woman, of Scotch birth, and possessed of an active business mind, which enabled her to be the ruling spirit and manager of her large property. She always enjoyed remarkably gnod health in her mountain home at Makaweli. A few weeks since she had an attack of grip from which she recovered, but it left her so weak and helpless that she felt it was of no use to make any effort to recover and prolong life in such a helpless condition. Then calling her grand-children and friends to her bedside, she bade an affectionate farewell to each, closed her eyes and expired at the age of 93 years, with apparently no pain, but with a bright hope of eternal glory in the spirit land. [Mrs. Sinclair has been a constant subscriber to The Friend.] The Island ports of entry outside of Honolulu which had been closed for three weeks, as a precaution against cholera, have been reopened upon recommendation of the Board of Health. �Volume 50, No. 11.] BISHOP MUSEUM.

We regard the establishment of the British protectorate over the Gilbert Islands as probably a great good to those islanders, who need protection from the disorderly and anarchical natives, as well as from evil-minded traders. They have already for the most part abandoned their heathen ways, under the teaching of the missionaries. The people and the Hawaiian missionaries alike seem to have welcomed the British flag. British rule, although on the whole substantially just, is apt to be sometimes too peremptory and arbitrary. Such seems to have been the acton of Capt. Davis in expelling Rev. W. B Kapu, who was formerly a missionary of the Hawaiian Board. He was dismissed by the Board a few years since for a causejiot impugning his moral integrity. He had some land in Tapiteuea, and preferred to remain there He has supported himself partly by trade, in which he encountered the jealousy ot white traders. Meantime he continued to exhort and instruct the people, laboring in harmony with our two missionaries, His expulsion Kaaia, and P.ialubi. to false acowing to have been appears cusations, and is a terrible injury to him and his family. No doubt the Hawaiian Government will make proper ,n ;uiry and seek redress from the British Government. Ponape Reparation Denied. —We learn from the official report of the American Board, that while Spain promises indemnity for Mr. Doane's losses five years ago, reparation is denied "for the destruction of mission property at Ova two years since, on the ground that the missionaries were aiding the natives in their rebellion and the burning of their houses was*a military necessity. Our Goi#:rnme*t refuses to entertain the charge against our missionaries, and insists on due indemnity." It will be remembered that at the time of the rebellion no missionary had heen in Ponape for several months, except the devoted young Miss Palmer in charge of the Girl's Boarding School. To her and her school the insurrection was worse than an eruption of a volcano at her doors. Our missionaries at Ponape, Messrs Doane and Rand, wore themselves out in laboring to induce the natives to submit peaceably to their Spanish rulers, in spite of the reckless oppressions of the latter. Everybody knows that the real reason why our missionaries have been expelled from Ponape is because they were Protestants. �84 MRS. LEAVITT TO RE-VISIT HAWAII. Libel Upon the American Minister. Through Mrs. J. M. Whitney, i'resident of the W. C. T. U., we are glad to be able to announce that Mrs. Mary Clement Leavitt will probabiy arrive here on November 18th. She expects to spend the winter in this country, on account of her health. This distinguished lecturess and agent of the W.-C. T. U., after her well remembered visit here in 1883, spent eight On the 2<>th uit., the editor of the Daily Bulletin was arrested for criminal libel. The offense was the publication of several letters speaking in terms of reproach of His Fxcellency John L. Stevens, Minister Plenipotentiary ami Knvoy Extraordinary. Upon the complaint of Minister Stevens made person, iliy to the Queen, the AttorneyGeneral gave the editor the opportunity of printing an apology, which he dill, but in a form which implied that the Minister was nevertheless to blame. Hence this arrest. We believe this is the first case of the kind in this kingdom. The international law is very strict in such cases, and neither the Minister nor the Government have any option except to secure redress for any attack made upon the former, whether such attack be well-grounded or not. I'lie Minister is exempt from molestation. years in visiting Australia, Japan. China, Corea, Siam, Burmah, Hindustan, Madagascar, theCongo, England and Burope. In these countries she organized 13 1 societies of the W. C. T. U. She bji ke through 131 different interpreters. In these manifold journeyings and labors, Mrs. Leavitt received everywhere the kindest welcome and entertainment. The only exception was last year at Bahia, Brazil, where she was assaulted with large stones by a mob, set on by ecclesiastics, who probably misapprehended her mission. Honolulu *vill again gladly listen to Mrs. Leavitt's wise and gracious speech. A Golden Wedding. Our venerable and clear friends the Hon. and Mrs. Samuel N. Castle, celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of their wedding, October 13th. Four sons and two daughters were present to congratulate their parents. Mr. Castle was suffering from the effects of a fall, hut was able to see and converse with a large number of guests, who looked in informally. No man has been more intimately connected than Mr. Castle has for 66 years with the business, social and religious interests of these islands, during which whole period his ability and character have made him a leading citizen of Honolulu. He came here when whites were few, when Honolulu was an irregular assemblage of grass and adobe cottages, without trees or shrub bery, when the stately old thiefB lorded it over the land, and the natives in crpe and mala trotted around with their burdens on each end of a pole, glad to »am a real a day. But what do the younger generation care for the fond reminiscences of us old fossils? Thei November,1892. THE FRIEND. The Government Deadlock continues as we go to press. The Queen appears determined to appoint no Cabinet not of her personal choice. The Legislature are as full}' resolved to cast out any Cabinet not reasonably satisfactory to the majority. No one is more anxious than Her Majesty to get a Cabinet into the vacant seats. But she has thus far proved quite unable to liiul four gentlemen who, however willing to accede to the peculiar views and policy of the Queen, are jet prepared to undergo the unpleasant shock of being flung promptly out of their seats by an unconfiding House, who thus appear to have Her Majesty at an extreme disadvantage. The contest now becomes complicated by the fact that Government pay-day has come, and no appropriation has been made for the salaries and dues of the past month, while the House declines to act until a reliable Ministry has been secured. It is the old story of contest between Prerogative and Parliament —which always ends in one way in enlightened countries. of Methodists there are 63,415, and of Baptists, 14,826 j Congregationalists number 6,686. Two-fifths of the entire population of New Zealand are affiliated with evangelical denominations. In respect to morals, the only comparative test we find is in the number of illegitimate children born in 181)1. Their number was :!"> in every 1000. It is 47 in the United Kingdom. As to health, the New Zealand annual death rate is under 10 per cent., or less than half the lowest European death rate. Labor Wages of Japanese on the sugar plantations are officially reported to have fallen from an average of $20 a month, to aboutsl2.6o, or about 40 per cent. Similar reductions have been made in other classes of labor, and alone make the continuance of the sugar industry possible at present prices ol sugar. A Cut in Wages has been made by Portuguese, who have accepted $1.60 a day lor heavy dock labor in unloading ships. $2.00 has hitherto been paid to Hawaiians. There is much destitution among both classes in Honolulu for want of employment. Abundant work at low wages can be obtained on plantations, but as elsewhere, the laborers have flocked to the capital, and planted their homes here. Many, especially Asiatics, are pure vagrants, of whom the town would be well rid, to the great advantage of the more decent and honest classes. Plant.—The Proposed Pumping Special Committee on Water Works recommend an expenditure of $60,01.0 for artesian wells and steam pumps capable ol adding two million gallons a day to the water supply of Honolulu. The annual increase of cost, including interest on outlay, is carefully estimated at $7,(il. per annum. The increase of revenue is estimated at $9,266. The gieat reason for adopting the new system is, that it is the only possible one by which an adequate supply of water can be secured for the city; or by which the residents shall not be reduced in dry months to not more than one-third of the water they require. It is also the only means for extending the water supply to the suburbs. This pumping system is especially needed to furnish an adequate supply of water to extinguish fires. Artesian wells will also-give us pure water instead of the foul fluid scantily supplied in time of drought. We hope that no delay may be experienced in leali/ing these plans. It will be a great day for Honolulu when the water we pay for so heavily, and which is in such exhaustless abundance below us, shall be distributed without stint. r> community heartily sympathise the much esteemed family of R.

Coi.umri's Day, Oct. 21, 1892, the four hundredth anniversary of the discovery of America, was commemorated at Oahu College in a very interesting manner, in accordance with the recommen dation of Congress that it should be especially observed in the schools. The leading contribution to the occasion wis a stirring address by Prof. A. B. Lyons, closing with the words, "But my thought goes out with equal admiration and wonder to those voyagers who, centuries before the days of Columbus, without compass or chart traversed in their frail undecked vessels almost the length and breadth of this Pacific Ocean, and while I recognize the Vastly greater 'mportance in the world's history of the discoveries of the great Genoese, I hold not less worthy of honor the Malayan "Hawaii-loa," if that was his name, who made known to the people of Kahi kiku the existence of Hawaii nei. and established here the colon)' which became the Hawaiian people.'' 85 THE FRIEND. grow well, I where bananas and perishable for "Didn't Know She was Loaded." but are too the distant The adage says that a gun is seldom transport required.

We were familiar near sixty years ago with primitive Hawaiian costumes, but we do not recognize as belonging to that period any of the articles of apparel worn by the Kaala performers. It may be said that the dress of those times was not altogether adapted to the modern stage, although that is not very fastidious. Xo doubt the costumes chosen are well adapted to interest an ordinary audience, who will not know but that they are genuine Hawaiian. The three articles of universal native wear have entirely disappeared from view, except the undo, still worn by men when stripped for labor or fishing. The fti'it was worn by women, the kihei by both sexes. We suggest that the Bishop Museum should be provided with large colored drawings showing these primitive costumes. A majority of oui white people have little idea how the native people looked sixty or seventy \ ears ago. Banana Meal.—This is one of the commodities recommended for Hawaii to engage in as a very profitable product. We have never seen the article, and do not know what place it is adapted to take among food products. Not improbably it might be produced here with profit. There are fertile districts in these islands, distant from seaports, I The Oahu Evangelical Association. The pastors and delegates of the native churches met at Kaneohe, Oct. 6th. and 7th., for their semi-annual session. We make the following excerpts from a report of their proceedings in the Pacific Commercial Advertiser. Steady effort and progress in Christian work has heen evinced. A Commit tee has visited the various churches. Bible schools have been established for instruction of church leaders, with debating meetings for discussion of bible and church topics. Hauula church is as yet provided with no successor for Rev. S. Kapu, removed to Waikapu. Waikane has called Mr. James Davis, a recent graduate of the North Pac. Missionary Institute. At the Institute, a class often is expected, coming from the other islands. The Association voted approval of the efforts of the pastor and people of Waianae in soliciting funds for the extensive repairs of their church; but expressed disapprobation of a class of songs reported to have been sung by their chorus who gave conceits on Kauai. A committee was appointed to investigate the titles to church sites. In discussing prevalent social evils, one delegate thought the Association was transgressing its limits in considering any Government measures, such as the Lottery Bill. He was almost unani moiisly voted down, and the Lottery suitably denounced and petitioned against. Interesting Sunday School concert exercises were held, and a choice Hawaiian collation served. The weather was fine, the people hospitable, and the interest of the exercises well sustained. The young pastor, Rev. M. Kuikahi, did his best. Great improvement has been made in the appearance of the parsonage and premises. There has been much lack of food supplies among the natives of that district. Rev. H. H. Parker has given some of them the free use of two patches for their support. Hilo has a prosperous public library and reading room. Till". Morning Slur was last heard from at Butaritari, July sth. A law has been passed to promote the extermination of Mongooses. The new brick smoke-stack at Makaweli Plantation is I f>o feet high.

When the fox begins to pray, look out for your chickens. The first step in *debt is like the first step in falsehood*. People who run into debt generally have to'crawl out of it. Consciousness of ignorance is a large part of real knowledge. Those who neglect to please, cannot complain to be neglected. A small man becomes really no bigger by standing on a bag of money. A wide-spreading, hopeful disposition is a true umbrella in the storms of life. Brains cannot be gauged by the size of the head, nor eloquence by the extent of the mouth.

HONOLULU, H. I This page is devoted ta the interests of (he Hawaiian Board of Mission-., and the Kditor, appointed by the Hoard is f—pOntJbU f" 1 ill COQtOfttS* Rev. O. P. Emerson, 87 THE FRIEND. - Editor By letter written Sept. 26th from New York we hear from Mr. Bingham that the publication of '.he Gilbert Is. Bible is progressing at the rate of about twenty-four pages S week. By the end of September one third of the entire Bible was to have been finished. The work at the time of writing had progressed as far as 1 Kings, 1 1:23. The Portuguese Society for Mutual Improvement, which meets in the chapel on Miller street, is to be commended for its progressive spirit. Not only does the society carry out an instructive program at its weekly meetings, it has also contributed quite a little sum of money for the purchase of books. It is hoped that so the nucleus of what may become a valuable library may be secured. It seems that the hoomanamana spirit is manifesting itself in a very open way on the island of Molokai. One of the evangelists of the Association for the Suppression of Idolatry has lately returned from a visit to the south eastern side of the island. He reports at least five different houses where kahunas live that are openly marked as such. The Kahuna has his sign out. On the outside of the entrance it is a colored or red patch of cloth, and on the inside it is a white one. All this is seen in the district of Kaluaaha where is settled, as we had supposed, one of the strong men of the Maui presbytery. Truly some one is needed to wear the mantle of the lamented Bicknell and carry on the work which he began. The fight with the hoomanamana spirit must be carried on to the end. The Society for the Suppression of Idolatry has memorialized the Hawaiian Board, asking it to memorialize the American Board to the end that the Rev. O. H. Gulick may be retained in these islands for the conduct of the work which the Rev. Mr. Bicknell began and carried on so well This the Hawaiian Board consented to do, and the letters have gone on to Boston by the last mail. The Society has also written an urgent request to Mr. Gulick to come to their help if permitted. We understand that Mr. Gulick is not averse to undertaking this work if the way is made clear. Should this devoutly wished for result be achieved, and Mr. Gulick be transferred from the Japan field to Hawaii and to this city, he would find both the Japanese and Hawaiian work open to him. Speaking the language of each people fluently, and having had years of As Paaluhi writes, "the proselytes which experience of missionary work both in they (the priests) claim are those of the Japan and Hawaii,, it is safe to say, heathen party, and they still practice as father Bond has written, "not another idolatry, and are given over to drunkenman on earth could probably be found ness and to the hula." But we trust who would be his equal here in this that these proselytes to the Romish service." Church are only candidates on probation, It is not easy, as we have found to our cost, to bring a white man into immediate and close relations with the native work on these islands. But here is an opportunity not to be lost—an important opening into the field, a position of commanding influence and a man to take it. Should Mr. Gulick be permitted to place himself at the head of this devoted band of workers whom Mr. Bicknell gathered together, we predict that he would soon make its influence felt over the entire group as a cleansing, uplifting, leavening power. and that in time they may be so improved as to be fit for church membership and so become an honor to their teachers. The Rev. W. B. Kapu of Tapiteuea. Last Saturday the Rev. W. B. Kapu, who has been on the Gilbert Islands and away from his native land for nearly thirty years, arrived from San Francisco by the Alameda. He left for the Gilbert Islands as the missionary of the Hawaiian Board, Nov. 7th., 1862. He was accompanied by the Rev. S. Nalimu and was stationed with him on the Island of Tapiteuea. There he labored till 1885, when he was relieved from connection with the Board. Since then he has made a living by trade. During these thirty years he has visited his native land only twice. Though the Hawaiian Board came in time to disapprove of some of Kapu's doings as ill-advised and piejudicial to the work, we have yet to learn that he has wilfully acted an unchristian part, or proved himself disloyal to the people and land of his adoption. And yet here he is among us, sent here as he avers by the British authorities on the island of Tapiteuea, as then represented by H. B. M. Ship of war Royalist. He claims that Capt. Davis' mind was prejudiced against him by enemies. He declares these enemies to be the Romish priests against whom he had spoken at the Sabbath School celebration. Kapu is the owner of lands of considerable value which he has left in the hands of his missionary brethren on the ground and which* it is suggested the Hawaiian Boarß might buy of him for the benefit of the mission. Kapu was accompanied by his wife, who is a Gilbert Islander and his child. The father and mother and sister of his wife came with him as far as Guatemala, and there they were taken as contract laborers. Kapu mentions the fact that he was himself so afraid of being made a contract laborer, that he set his foot on land but once after leaving Tapiteuea, till he took passage on the Alameda at San Francisco for Honolulu. He says that they were well fed on the Montserrat, but that the people suffered from lack proper clothing. Religious services were held twice a day on board the Welcome news has come from TapiIt will be remembered that the good work noticed in our last Annual Report as done in our Central and North Gilbert field, had failed to reach the more southerly island of Tapiteuea. That region seemed to be given up to the hula, to drinking and hardness of heart. But by letters just received and dated July 24th and August 26th of this year we learn that the obdurate people of Tapiteuea are turning toward the Gospel, or at least toward the meeting house and toward the Sabbath and day school. Indeed the Rev. Paaluhi reports many converts and baptisms. He writes, "I verily believe that the power of our Lord has been with us during this year, for there are souls among us whom he has turned to the truth. A large number have been baptized. The study of the Scriptures has been greatly promoted both on the Sabbath and on week days. The Sabbath and Wednesday services are attended by large congregations. The women's meetings are well sustain cd. A union Sabbath School exhibition held on the Bth of July called out a very great company of people, more than filling a commodious structure larger than most any of our Hawaiian church buildings. This was a Sabbath School meeting for the entire island. On January 1, 1893, there is to be another. But the Rev. Paaluhi and his brother worker, the Rev. Kaaia, are not left to themselves in this work of trying to christianize those rudepeople, for Romish priests have at last come upon the ground. Perhaps this is well; perhaps Roman Catholicism may help protestantism as protestantism has helped Roman Catholicism by starting competition and by the gendering of a certain spirit of emulation, which, in this imperfect world of ours, seems a necessity, even in the church. But it is a pity that those Romish brethren are not more careful in their selection of proselytes, for it would seem that they look with tod lenient eyes on practices which our brethren have been accustomed to class as heathen. Montserrat by Mr. Kapu. teuea. �88 November,1892. THE FRIEND. I have seen many skeptics converted. These men said when they were willing to do God's will they found peace, and this is so with all. A skeptic wanted to talk with me. I said,* "When you find out what is right for you to do, will you do it?" He said he would. "What are you doing that is wrong?" "I am cross in my family sometimes." "Will you stop it ?" "Yes." "What else do you do?" "I get 'drunk sometimes.'' "Will you stop it?" "Well, I don't want to talk with you this way. I want to argue about this and that verse in the Bible." "Yes; but I want you to stop doing what is wrong, and do what is right. What difference does it make to a man if this or that part of the Bible differ, so long as he gets drunk and commits other sins?" So I kept him to thepoint. He said he believed in God, but not in the Bible or Jesus Christ. He believed in prayer. "But what do you say in prayer?" "Well, I say that this is a pretty good kind of a world." "Well, that is a good kind of a prayer sometimes, but will you kneel down and say, 'O God, if you can show me what to do, I will do it ?" He prayed that prayer, and said he found that was the best kind of prayer. "Trying to do what I ought to do resulted in my belief in Jesus Christ." And his wife said, "We have had a bonfire of all his infidel books." So men are brought in by trying to do what they ought to do.—B. Fay Mills.
