TOPICS OF THE DAY.

We ma«Je a scgge*tion yesterday for tbe bencfit »*f the Adverti9«r j n reg*rd toa new rereion of Hawaii ponoi ■* deeired bv the churchly inorning piper. An esteemr-d eontemporary sendg us a song eom- | poe.,! by tue l.Ue vener ; ble Fither Lvuns of \\ limw, Hawaii, whieh he ihinke would be fitting to be ug-,d as a Nat:onal Anthe n and sung every Sunday at the Central Union Church by the degoe: dant!> { the true miseionari*s, as <*f great benefit for then prts* nt and future ep’nl'.al weiiare. lf *‘Prt)f*rsor” Lyons insie»d of Sec'y Taylor will “presided" at the <>rem the cff ct would be Diagniticeut indte<l. Thia is what g>..d F.*lhcr Lyons tanght the Hawaiiane to sing: Pa» maa kaa mauao aluha I'm man, paa maa, P«a maa, knn manao aloha 1 kau ama hauao e! <HOKCā: A»l« an e kipi No No No, No No, No, Aole ao e kipi, kumakaia He aloha aina mao. F> r ihe bentfit of those of the 1 members of the Ceniral Union \ who lately have *‘forgolten” the ; Hawuiian Janguage we preseot a free translation; Evcr!antiug my love shall be Steadfast ever, steadfast ever Ev(.rlastiug my love ahall be To my own, my uativo land. CHOKrs: I will never be a traitor No uo uo, no no, no Never bo a dooblefaced traitor My love sholl ever be true. It is becoming more and inore obvimi8 all over the world that the men wlio nre selected for dip!omalie and consu!ar 8ervices by the U. S. adniinistrations sre only too npt lo get into trouble and cover the name of America with odium aml contempt. Tbis is especial!y the case of those men who are appointed by the Republican party. Kagan in Chile, Mizner in Central Amenen, ond Stevens in Hawaii, helutig tu hiatory already as examples of the mability of the ordinary Americ.ni politician to act as hecom»s a diplomat and a representative of a great }x>wer. We are pleasod to add some more names to Ihe liet of infamous shy8tere who disgrace the Unitcd Stat*‘8 in foreign countr5es. The following is fr> m the New York World: Washingtou. P*<;. 1(>.— The State Departmeut has r> , ceived a copy of j a rocent isauo of H Corrirre dt I Ca(auia (Co»rier of Uulania. i SicilyJ, in whieh appears a violent j attack upon the Amenean e »nsolnr ! service in general, »nd upon the Unittd States C**nsuls appointed Ui Cat*nia in particular. A translation of a part of Ihe articles ts as follows: “Mr. C. B. Huret, United States C >nsul. Jeft to day. We are glad of hia departure, whieh taKcs awayJ from us the «nn«»yance of one of the mnel disagrecable functionaries of the f*»reign colony.

To say nolh- j ing about Mr. Charles ilealh. j whose ungracious fame is still «Jive in Catania, let us speak one | momenl about Mr. Hurst, so well i known among us fv»r his penumal ! bfth»vior ami conduot. whieh was I' thftt of ab»olute indiffereuce to all thftt surrounded him.

The , blue ba«lge lu«s evidently made j Mr. bmith f«»rg'. t that the honeft(!) »nd suj>er —virtuous l.eg si.ature of 1888 ript'1lrd Mr. Kauhi who was the roeml»er froro Kwa for being convictrd <*f being a | bribe taler —b «t perhaps bribe- ) taking is not consi*lered a sin among the P. G. rulors and not considered a bad quality for a poiiee officer. AN*e now fully | expect to see Mr. O. Smith pitchfork that other faonest (?) Hawaiian Mr. J. W. Kalua into office—say as jndge for W ailuku. “Bir3s of a feather flock togcther” seoms to be a true proverb as far as our missionary g-»vern raent is concerned.
