THE BED CBOSS AND FIE
The Advertiser mnu is getting into
byotericB over the supposed Rod
Gross Society in Honolulu At first
the purposo of tho now society was
to nurse tbo soasiok soldiers who
will bo landed in Honolulu on their
way to Manila An entertainment
committeo was appointed and
meetings of tbo doar ladiis were tho
order of the day The men who
have taken their chances in tbo war
os men should do wore to bo troat
ed as sickly infants and nursed by
tho looal Rod Gross whiob thor
oughly misunderstands the duties
and objects of that great and noblo
international society
The soldiers of Amorica and Spain
who tako part in the present unholy
war must faco tho music War is
not a picnic It is tho saddest of
all tho events which can occur in
tho life of a civilized nation Tho
injudicious peoplo of Honolulu who
got off their base whenever thore is
a jollification in sight now want to
help the men whoso indigestion
they have ruined with potato salads
and pios under the auspices of tho
Red Cross
Bo kind doar ladies and treat the
soldiers bound for Manila in n sane
and judicious manner and omit
from your bill of fare tho deadly
pie and tho indigestible mayouaiso
Tho following proclamation
whioh appoared in tho S F Call
should have tho special attention of
the Red Cross ladies of Honolulu
who do not go to the front and who
apparently expect that Hawaii is to
be tho dumping ground iu spito of
quarantine regulations of the boys
in blue who will suffer from in
fectious fevers bubonic plague
smallpox and other diseases indi
goneous at this time of the year to
Manila and tho Philippine Islands

Tlio olliaial organ has plnued a re
markable construction on a circular
letter issued by Colonel Fisher to
the members of tho N G 11 Tho
orgnu claims that the Oolonol is
sure of annexation and it throws
terror into tho bosoms of tho volun
teers and thoir families by iuferring
that Colonel Fislior wants his boys
in blue to go to Manila
We understand tho Colonels lot
ter simply to mean that he wants
to take stock of tho Government
property now in tho hands of tho
members of tho National Guard
Tho possibility of active service
probably means that our boys
may bo asked to dofoud us against
an attack by a Spanish cruiser or
called out to suppress a Japanese
riot in Faunhi stroot or bo request
ed to attack several kegs of boor at
a regimental hop or onlortaiu tho
noxt batch of boys in blue
Wo ask our readers to judge for
themsolves whether Colonel Fishers
letter can be construed in the ridi
culous manner adopted by the Ad
vertiser and for their benefit wo
publish it in full

TOPICS OF THE DAY
The Independent extends its most
cordial greeting to the new editor
of the Evening Bulletin Mr Wallaco
R Farringtou Ho has already
honorably won his epurs iu Hono
lulu journalism and has the happy
gift of creating friends instead of
making enomirs among all with
whom he has tho misfortuno of dif
fering on matters of public interest
His pen is as puru and trouchant as
his principles are manly
Minister King has returned to
town feeling greatly improved in
health since his visit to the Volcano
Tho report that ho has reBiguod
from tho Cabinet doos not sound
probable Mr King is not a man
to shirk his duties when he seos
dangoraus breakers ahead As his
successor Senator McCaudless has
beou mentioned by Dame Rumor If
the gonial Senator is ambitious for
tho Ministorial job wo foar ho will
have to possess his soul in pationce
for a few moro years oven if ho has
our best radical wishes
Many peoplo think it would bo
wiser for our industrious and court
eous postmaster gonornl to change
his rulo in regard to dispatohing
mails especially thoso to Europe
and tbo Eastern States Why should
thoy not be forwarded by the first
steamer to leave unlosB thoy are
specially marked for certain named
steamers It is to ourry favor with
tho United States in tho cause of
annexation that lottors sent to the
Eastern States aro not sont by tho
Canadian Australian steamers Thoy
would in fact roach Now York lot
us say in many instances much
quicker than if hold two or three
days for the San Francisco liners
Thoro is a boy in bluo in town
who was left by his officers and
comrades without any provisions
being mado for him He had com
mitted no offenBo and was only too
willing to proceed to Manila but in
spito of the certifleato of tho board
of examination to whom ho submit
ted upon tho time of his eulistmont
and by whom ho was passed ho was
found unfit for military Borvico whon
he roaohed Honolulu This is an
instance whoro tho ontortaiuora of
tho boys in bluo ought to como to
tho frout and put up sufficient
money to send him back to San
Francisco If tho entortalners
havo no money for such n purpose
tho Rod Cross might stop iu or
what is the mattor with tho
Strangers Frioud Society Tho
U S Consul General stated yester
day morning that ho had offered tho
man a passago on tho Bennington
but tho sailing hour of that vessel
is very uncertain and it was not de
finitely stated whether the young
fellow was to travel as a passeugor
or as a sailor It is rumored that
the man has called upon tho British
representative and received promise
of succor from that gontlomau
Klondyko woathor should be folt
whon an American soldier is forced
to kuock for help at tho door of
Groat Britain
Whon mou quit tho prize ring and
