LAST PABADE OF VETERANS. of patriotism that What a pageant was in Chicago on August 28th when ihe surviving members of the Grand Republic marched In review', Army of the probably for the last time, as a great gathering of the men who fought to preserve the Union one and inviolate. Although the line of march was greatly shortened, to what it has ever been before, it was too long for many of the men who tried to keep step to the music with the old martial tread. Th elastic step of youth has gone from these soldiers of the Union never to return. The enthusiasm of youth U there yet when the old banners are raise J aloft, but the llesh is old.and decrepit, and weak, and can not respond to the life and drum as of yore. The -boys" are and bent with age now, but despite this they marched with a vim in Chicago that art the millions who watched them cheer-lug and cheering, the first cheer only dyinc away down the line when the second began, and thus it continued until the crowds were hoarse. Old battle llags under which men fac shot and shell and rilie ball were bronjUt forth from their places of sate keeping and unfurled that the new generation, the young men and young women who have grown up since the civil strife subsided might see that these men were not remnants of soldiers who saw no war, but that they took part in the greatest and bloodiest war of modern times. And the younger generation, seeing these torn and faded battle flags, showed a reverence for them almost sublime. Cheers for the veterans gave way to deep silence that,, was heroic in its deference to the war-stained banners. Fast falling are the survivors of the days from '61 to '65. A few years more will see the reunions of the G. A. It. attended by only a few hoary-headed men who served in that mighty army, unable to parade or carry aloft the banners of which they are so fond. Instead of grand parades and marching in review they will assemble around the camp Are with reminiscences and with story, awaiting the souud of the revlelle that comw only from tho other shore. Now that Iwilei is closed on Sunday we hope to see It also closed on all legal holidays, like the other departments of the Territory of Hawaii. SOFT SOAP POB THE ftUKEN. Ex-Queen Liliuokalani has now fallen mnder the blighting editorial favor of the Advertiser. The sweet words that sheet now has for the dethroned queen are no doubt grateful and ought to be effective salve to the deep scars and res left by the vllllfication, the persecutions, the libels, the Indecent abuse which the AdTertiser and its owner showered on the same lady. In reality, the whole thing probably amuses the queen, the only feeling aroused thereby being that of curiosity "Wkat does the Advertiser and its schemers want?" The queen, can rest content and enjoy la utmentary verbal ointment, if it shouldn't prove too noxious. Her experience in this regard is not singular. High Sheriff Brown has felt the lash of th Advertiser and at & rather recent period. In the estimation of the Advertiser Mr. Brown was a pretty useless and had official about the beginning of this year. Just before his appointment ra made to the United State District beach. Judge M. M. Estee, taea of California, was quite a disreputable sort of a gverrilla, unlit for the beads and "unlit for association with republican of the type of those wsrsaslea by tn Advertiser.

Everything that has been urged against labor is more than answered in this one object, resistance against encroachments. And since capital first taught labor the value of organization and combination and co-operation it ought not to find fault with Its younger child, especially in this free country. However, both ought to so shape their actions that the least possible harm and injustice may be done in the inauguration of new rules and new customs. The raising of wages, the cutting down of hours of labor and other determinations of that sort should be arranged amicably between laborer and employer whenever possible and without unnecessary friction.

This mighty floating fortress of the seas is a much more powerful ship than the famous Oregon. She was required to show a speed of sixteen knots an hour for four hours, a most marvelous speed for a war vessel of her size and type, but the Alabama not only reached that requirement but much surpassed it Her average speed for the four hours was 17.1 knots and for six and one-half knots she ploughed the seas at the rate of 18 knots an hour. With the acquisition of the Kearsarge, Kentucky, Alabama and Wisconsin, all of which will soon be in commission, Uncle Sam will have four more pacifiers that will rival, if not outclass, anything of the kind possessed by any other nation in the world, England with her powerful navy not excepted. Grand Jury On the "Social Evil.' From The Friend. Thft reDort of the crand Jury states that at Iwilei, a quite isolated penin sula In the city, there is a colony or five buildings enclosed by a high board fence, owned by a local company. These buildings contain 225 rooms and are at the present time occupied by 147 females, of which 135 are Japanese. These Inmates are all registered prostitutes under the "Act to Mitigate, etc." "The condition of the premises and general management, which Is conducted under the supervision of the police department and the board of health, is as satisfactory as could be expected, provided this shameless vocation must be tolerated as a necessary evil. The location of the place could not be im-J proved upon, ana tne eviis oi prostitution are probably now largely confined to this locality instead of being distributed about the city." A strong movement was made last year for the suppression of Japanese procurers and their dens on Pauahl street In the central town. The burning of Chinatown cleared out the whole thing. It appears now to be revived in an enlarged form, in an isolated section and under police supervision. It must be difficult to answer the strong censure of The Honolulu Republican against the grand jury for not attending to the enforcement of the law against fornication, to which also Circuit Judge Humphreys called attention in his comments upon the report of the grand jury; The onlf answer attempted must be that the vile practice Is one impossible to suppress, and therefore government can only control and regulate it Such an answer is most unsatisfactory to those people who regard purity as sacredly to be cherished, and social impurity as an abhorrent crime. Excessively loathsome and pitiful is it to think of those hundreds of poor wretches herded together in lives of the vilest shame. How can the deadly infection of such a Sodom be tolerated in our city? Yet only a few months ago the same thing was spread over some of our central streets. What can be done to remove this plague-spot? Tae evil has its strenuous source la the unbridled passions of men who are wicked and bent upon vile gratification. It is also nourished by the very low moral condition of a large class of females and their natural protectors, of both the Japanese aad the Hawaiian races. Tae latter race are gradually absorbing a fitting sense of the abomiaatioa of Impure living. The lower classes of Japanese are extremely defective in tate respect? In dealing with J the existing condkkms the execution of wholesome laws Is unlikely to rise very high above .what the moral sense of a majority of , the voters demands, ana that senoe is undoubtedly lu Tery debased coaditiom.

About the Count and how well fixed He Is to be supreme. He'll have command of all our troops, But all the others, teo; And all the Allies must obey And do as he says do. But don't let. that bother you. my friends, He's not so darned supreme In running things out there to suit Himself, as it would seem. Of course the Kaiser thinks he is, And.maybe he does, too. But that's no sign, as you will see, When I explain to you. The fact is, gents, we rule the roost, I mean Americans, And though Count Waldie is on deck He doesn't shape his plans. Because, by Zucks! he's got a wife, A lady, too, of birth; And was there ever married man Who wholly owned the earth? I guess not; and that wife of his Was horn in Yankee land, And though he wears the. epaulets, She's in supreme command. In other words, while it might seem The Germans are on top, The really truly fact is that The Yankees have the drop. Which shows, you, fellow citizens, That as a diplomat, And soldier, too, your Uncle Sam Knows just where he is at W. J..L. in New York Sun. GREAT CHANGES WBOTJGHT. English. Sunday Much Less Puritanical Than a Few Years Ago. It can hardly be denied that there has been a great and widespread move-merit in the direction of greater laxity. To put it shortly, thirty years ago the English Sunday, though far less strictly observed than the Scotch "Sabbath.' approximated in some degree to that type rather than to the Continental; it now resembles tie Continental rather than the Scotch, or perhaps we should say what the Scotch used to ce, for in Scotland, too, there has been a vast change. A foreigner's Idea of Sunday in London was, and probably still is, the picture of everything that Is dull and triste, a day on which locomotion is Impossible and amusement forbidden; a day which, if not kept holy. Is "kept stupid" (Kinglake, we think in "Eothen," applies these words to holy days in the East) the veritable triumph for English hypocrisy, Its dullness being, as it were, tae tribute paid by indifference to religiosity. Conventional ideas often survive the facts in which they are based, but any onp who observes the streets cf London or The Thames at Maidenhead or the great cycling roads on a Sunday in summer will confess that the facts on which this idea of the Engllsn Sunday was based have very largely passed away. For good or for evil? What Is the verdict to be? There was, It must be confessed, a good deal which was narrow and repellent about the old conception of Sunday. Something of the atmosphere of the Jewish Sabbath hung around it; and Its motto was too prevalently "Thou shalt not ;" it was not seldom made a day abhorred of children, and Its compulsory observance savored of the letter Tather than of the spirit Bub to be weighed against this there are the enormous opportunities for rest and quiet, for spiritual refreshment and freedom from the cares of business and the not less absorbing cares of pleasure, for systematic study of the Bible and Instruction of children in holy things inside the family circle, which have now become, unhappily, rare. And the increased attractions of pleasure have, we 'think, undoubtedly had a serious effect upon the attendance at divine service. The old Sabbatarianism was largely founded on a false view of what Sunday is, and we are paying the penalty for the exaggerations of Puritanism in the loss of much that was In practice good, which is now disappearing under the influence of the ideas which are at present fashionable. Not that the change is entirely due to any reasonable conviction. In part, no doubt. It is so. and chiefly with more thoughtful minds; but a number of other causes have been at work.. The increased strain of life and pressure of work during the week, the growth cf the habit of travel and of facilities for travel and the systematizatlon of pleasure have- combined with a decay of faith in some quarters and a greater cosmopolitanism of feeling, to counteract and override the old sense of obligation: The voice of pleasure calls with absolute clearness in one direction, and if the voice of conscience is heard at all'there are always those who will suggest that. In reality, it Is prejudice or superstition which, is speaking. not conscience. Wo should like to see it laid down as aa axiom that, all pssatable discussion of Sunday observanos must start from a recognition the net that the first day of the week aao been universally and .contlnaoualymarkod oat In the Christian church as a may of worship, evoraince ther resurrection, and that la tho aboeace of explicit and detailed given, by the: authority of the ohurch every Christian is bound to so keep it thathomay secure lor himself sndf;othevs;proper opportunities ot .worship and, spiritual irefreahmeat Tho Goardlan. .
