Candida Pax.

We ongratulate tbo eountrv up«n the acceptable terr,iination of the contention. between the; Queen and the Ministers. The majority of honest thinking people are pleased at the retirement of an unj:opnlar cabinet and the native Hawaiians are proud of their Queen, ffho has uiaintained what remnant i« left to her of the dig»ities and prerogatives of s©vereignty that h:ive b«:»*n so brutaily tran»pled pn of laie ye:irs. The late "dißability" Cabinet belng now rem<ived it is to hope«l that the n a w (ineen's reign t wiil ijejrin 'in per.ee und eoniinue prosperitv. andreaiize all the bright \ l»ron)ise thnt to our fancies seenied ; contaii:eu in that bea«tiful rainbo\v • tiiiil over the Palaeo with a raui:nit lulo ou the <lay when thoi Kin«iV corp-e \vas lunded.

But we will blot out the past record and trust he wi l 'begin again upon a more dignifie 1 »nd honorable plan; We note wit a satisfaction- that there is such & fair r«presentation of the Nstional Reform Partv in the cabine It is a tardy though a - trieve of the gross - injustice done toour party when that wjretobel c«mpromise cabinet was foiste [1 H upon the country, It was wiih a® uncertain purpose that the naiive votes and their sympathi£©rs ar©se * 4 en masse" a year ago and voted down the Ref©rm Gover»ntent, anli the3 r fecl keenlv the violatfon of and insults to whieh thev have einee been treated by the conapromise cabinet.
