THEY SLEW THE OHIID
And thu child was born and tho
child died and The Independent
mourns its death Iu expressing
our personal regrets to one presum
ably interested in its conception and
birth either as father mother or
wet nurse the reply was I dont
think I am to be commiserated with
it ia the people in my opinion
The Independent entertains tho
same opinion It is not the mere
value of the Sunday Star as por
hapB an unnecessary publication or
tho wisdom of its promoters in in
augurating it It is the hypocriti
cal method of action in curbing tho
rights of tho peoplo that The Inde
undent protests against It is the
repressive hand of tho military oli
garchy brought to bear through
the oxpreBsod wishes of tho major
ity of tho directors tho men of tho
minority of the people associated in
almost every enterprise that HavorB
of a public character to enforce their
hypocritical puritanical dootrinos
Why should tho
organ he permitted
to have its employees working all
day on tho Holy Sabbath to prepare
their Monday mornings issue and
yet nearly all other trades be tabu
The Independent notiosd last
evening that at Brother Pecks
Chapel while he was stating a truism
that the trouble was that mission
aries wore too frequently sout out
to gathor in the strayed lambs into
tho fold thoroughly unproparod for
their duties or sentiments to that
effect he was talking feelingly and
in n gentlemanly manner to a very
slim houso
At tho mammoth and boautiful
Sugar Church pardon wo moan
Conlral Union the Rev S S
Palmar of Oakland with a most
musical down oaster harmony of
nasality re iterated to his drowsy
auditors the fact that the hireling
got out of his job all ho could whilo
tho boHB kopt putting up spot
cash or sentiments to that offcot
DBIWIWWtWWIIIIII
to a non paying auditorium Even
tho oxcolloul music nt this usually
woll drawing houso failed to attract
At tho Catholic Church to which
tho poor Hawaiians nud Portuguese
mainly riisort tlinro was a crowded
hotisn mainly of Portugueso and
thoir little ouos Kawaiahao and
tho Salvation Army also had largo
gatherings
Now mark our words tho next
move on tho part of tho Sabbatani
cal Phariseos will bo this They
will claim that tho Sunday Concerts
aud Ojfcliug so tiro tho Lords
Children that thoy aro too weary
to attend Evening Church Service
Consequently tho expressed wishes
of tho majority of tho Directors
will bo brought to bear upon our
Califoruiau andDomocralic Ministor
of Foreign Affairs and Berber aud
his Baud will havn their Sabbaths
rest aud tho people may go to
blazes
Tho oxpressod wishos of the maj
ority of tho Directors will not
however be powerful enough to suc
cessfully combat tho rising gener
ation of cyclists boating men aud
sports generally unless purse strings
aro tied up and thou tho merry
youngsters will create a business
cataclysm much to tho annoyance
of tho boss who according to Mr
Palmer puts up spot cash whilo
tho hireling grabs all he can get
Fcstina lenle make hasto slowly
gontlomeu our controllers broaden
tho peoples liberties instead of cur
tailing them Working men will not
toil hard all week merely to support
your churches Tho honest and in
dustrious man has his own religion
and ho will servo his Maker in his
own way Repressivo puritanical
measures in tho present age are out
of date Whilo wo are not yet pro
pared for a California or Europoan
Sunday we aro not willing to go back
to tho strict disciplino of tho way
back puritans of Maine and Ver

Clever Amateurs
Compliments are due to tho
dramatic troupo of Company B for
tho manner in which thoy presented
Under Two Flags to a woll filled
house on Saturday evening
Tho drama adapted from Ouidas
famous uovol is not easily handled
ovon by professionals and it is a
credit to our local porformors that
thoy got through thoir parts without
any apparent hitch
Mr and Mrs C D Wilson who
respectively played thn parts of
Bortio Cecil and Cigarette wore of
course tho principal figures of tho
play Mrs Wilson is possossed of
great vivacity specially adapted to
her part and has undoubtedly boon
on tho boards before
Mr Wilson did very well but
seemed Romowhat stiff on certain
occasions and at a loss what to do
with his arms aud legs
Mr Morris on tho othor hand as
tho colonel did too much with his
arms and legs and was frequently
inclined to throw himself into tho
Hal Viljuu attitude of tho regu
lation barn stormers
Littlo Florrio Dohnolly was sweet
as Vouotia and spoke hor lines iu a
vory natural and pleasing maniiHr
Tho beautiful voice of Miss Logos
as tho grown up Vouotia was pleas
ing to listen to She sustained hor
part in a vory satisfactory mauuor
although lacking bomowhat iu pas
sion
Mrs Lawrence especially as the
Arab girl looked brilliant and thrill
ed tho audionco at hor appearance
Rohert Scott as Itako was vory
amusing Wo hardly seo any rea
son howovor why a speciality
should havo boon introduced into
the drama although It took tho
audience
Altogether tho performance was
vory oroditablo indeed The staging
wa3 offectivo and tho members of
tho company had evidently studied
hard
Tho minor parts wero well sustain
ed and tho music under Borger ox
collent
Wo hopo that the troupo will re
peat tho performance in tho noar
futuro and wo think vo can assure
them a full house if they chooso to
do it
Tho costumes wore somewhat sur
prising Loaving tho persons alone
who except in regard to Vonetia did
not age for 12 long ypars we should
think tho wardrobes of dukos lords
and othor woaltby cattlo would have
to bo ronowed during such a period
Lord Rockingham would hardly
ovor bo mpt in Algiers in tho same
cut away worn by him 12 years
previously in Europe and wo doubt
that Berkoloy Coail oarl of some
thing or othor could havo prosorvod
his rod uocktio during a similar
period
Thoso aro small matters which
wo havo no doubt Manager Scott
will corroot boforo tho next per
formance
