The Hawaiian Flag was Invented about 1S13 at the suggestion of an Am erican. Prior to that date the flag of Great Britain was used as the ensign of Hawaii. There is no doubt of the friendship which existed between Ka- mehameha and the great explorer, Van couver, -who had showp much kindness to him and his poople and probably on receipt of a present of a British flag the King was pleased to adopt it as the ensign of his country. On the break ing out of the war of 1812, between Great Britain and America, Kameha- nveha I was solicitous that he be not considered an ally of either of these great powers, with both of whom he was in friendly relations. He, there fore, decided to adopt an ensign which at onoe should show his friendship to both and at the same time would dis play his independence of either. The inventor of the Has: was no doubt the King, himself, and the mak er of it under his directions, was Capt. Geo. C. Beckley, an Englishman who had been made a high chief, and whose descendents are still amongst us. The King said that the adoption of the "Union Jack" was to demonstrate his friendship for England. The "Union Jack," named so from its being a union of the crosses of St. George, St. Andrew, and St. Patrick, and which was called the "meteor flag of England" was invented after the union with Ire land in 1801. By adopting the stripes and tricolor of America he showed his friendship to that country, and the tout ensemble of the flag linked his with the two greatest commercial countries of the world. ' The King understood the meaning of the three colors better than he did that of the three crosses. He ordered -white, symbolical of pur ity and sincerity, for the uppermost stripe, nothing being higher than the sun from whence emanates the bril liant white light by which all things are discerned. The ancient priests in variably wore white tapa garments when officiating at any propitiatory sacrifice. In ignorance of the wisdom of Ka mehameha, the Great, in adopting white for the upper bar, many natives of late years have declaimed against it, saying that it presaged that the white man would eventually rule the land. Kauikeaouli. Kamehameha III. had no such presentiment. The motto he adopted for the Hawaiian coat of arms, "Ua mail ke ea o ka aina i ka pono" (the breath of the land is con tinued through righteousness) is the highest sentiment to be found on the escutcheon of any of the nations of the earth. Had the Hawaiian rulers lived up to it the whites would never have dominated the land. The King ordered red as the color for the second bar, as it was a color very highly prized by the people, it being symbolical of blood, "which is the life." Singular it is that this is the only color which will not fade and has been held in as high esteem by royalty as purple among the nations. The best red we know of is manufactured from the cochineal and is in reality the blood of that insect. He ordered blue for the lowermost stripe, blue being a symbol of continu ity, in the hope that his Kingdom would continue forever. From the azure vault of heaven which encircles the globe and from the deep blue sea which encircles the Islands his idea of continuity was obtained. These three stripes were thrice re peated. At the present time the legally adopted flag of Hawaii is minus the lower or blue stripe, as the Hawaiian Flag, as seen and described by Capt. de Freycinet floating at Kawaihae and over the fort at Honolulu in 1817. At what time this last bar was dropped, or why, history sayeth not. It may be that some ingenious person, wishing to make a more symetrical flag, or one of better proportions, dropped the ninth bar and soothed the Hawaiians by suggesting that the eight remaining bars represented the eight inhabited islands of the group. This was absurd, as late discoveries have proven that Niihau was as much an in habited island as Kakoolawe. How ever, Ave have the Hawaiian Flag as it is and it has been universally admired. We trust it will long remain- the State Flag of Hawaii. It is a singular co incidence that at this period of the world's history when the great Anglo- Saxon -nations, Great Britain and Am erica, are approaching so near to one another in a great alliance, that the latter should have annexed a people whose flag was a combination of those of the two, and probably just in time to save that flag from being absorbed by an aggressive oriental nation. JAMES W. GIRVIN. Jt ilk Jmm rmVm EMPEROR FRANZ JOSEF. The tragic death of the Empress of Austria made it necessary to grreatly modify the arrangements that had been made to celebrate the fiftieth year of the reipn of Emperor Josef. On December 2, anniversary of the accession of Josef, in 1848, 4,000 civic honors were conferred. The reign of the Emperor was eulogized in the Reichirath. W.
