- Tbe Xew York Oi>$erver is not as a rule a proj>eT paj>er whieh is laiil umler our uapkin on our breakfast plate. It does oot rank eiactly with Mr. Heniy Ctstle’s morning issue of the poor ohl dilapitated Adverti<tr in fact it is a niissionHiy paper aud we are | both shocked and disgustei by having receivcil a copy in whieh references to the “Wiiliama' College” are tuade. We canuot afford to devote sufficient sp*ce to all the merits and demerits of the college mentioned. But we consider it a solemn duty to meniion that from that college fappeared the men whom we to-day ! i eall Amerioan Missionaries. j The article from whieh | - we gain our information | 1 says that “it was the birth plaee j 1 of American missions,” and we I naturally ask how was the birth- < day plaoe erected. And what is i the answer? Simp)y thia! We i quote from tbe Obmtn)mr'. j

TttE P. G. has gained the | powerful aid of Mr. Kapahu of Kau. Hawaii. wlio now is p*raded in the A>lverti*er as a firm anne^atiouist, p.nd &ā a solid sopporter *of the P. G. 0f oonrse we f»-el disiuclined to be inqoisitive and we are not selliug g n at present, but we dofeel justified in reraind ■ ing tfae Advertiaer of the eoin ments whieh were nse<l at one time in its eulnmna ahout Mr. Kapahu. The Adterti*et was far i from compliment.!iy—nor are we today. But we saggest that Mr. Kapaha if he desii.*es to bec»'me * a puulie charactar elplain a few transactions during his last legislative experience whieh t * say the least, make him look — i well, say funny. Mr. ‘ Box’' has got the floor — WhEN the National Band play to-uight at tfae R»i\’al Hawaiian Hotel the boys remember that one year ago they were dismissed by Mr. S. B. Dole «nd left to shift for themselves. Tbe boys liave stood together shoulder to sboulder, and in spite of the many temptations offered to them not one of them has ever gone back on the principle whieh led tfaem to loyally stay with tbe cause for whieli all Hawaiians faave fouglit patiently, and persistently. Wo believe that to night‘s concert will gather together a bigger and more enthusiastic an assembly tban ever Las heen the case so far. May it iudicate that the feeliugs of Hawuii’s Sons are unaltered. an<l th <t the dav of relief is speedily approaching. The wreck of the C. R. Bisbop whieh we mention elsewhere is to be mueh deplored. The proprietors of that popular little steamer have tho sympatby of the whole comruanity. We differ political!y from the men who ruu the Inter Islaud Steainship Coml>anv T , bnt we are always ready to acknowltdge the great service whieh is d»nie to the countrv thmngh their «gency. We nnderst;ind that tlio oflicers of the company plaee no hlame on the shno!ders of the acting eommander, bnt e<11 the disister due to bid jndgm»nt. It is fortnnate that verv few accidents have bappened in these ls1ands whieh ean justifv adverse cri ticism and it is wortbly of notice that the Inter Island Steamship Company have excelled any known record throngh their care fully selected and competent I officers.
