Mr. I’arker reprosents the Queen nnd the majority of iutelligent llawaiiana Mr. Widemann is looked up to by the numerous foreignere who have stood solid and unflinching with the cause of constitutional government. Mr. Cummins finally represents the ‘other kannkas,” those who, througb their mouth pieee the Ka Leo show tbat tbey know no more uhont politics than do their or«cle« Mr.Bush aud Mr. Nawahi, j and who. insteud of fightiug for their owu rights have preferred to sit on their />oi filled fundament.»l hasis aml wait,like Mieawher. for something to turn up. The raission will, of course, he fruitless. Tbat is, as far as any j ho{>e of Amerioan interference is concerned. But it will have the eflect to satisfy all iutelligent aud honest Hawniiana, whatevor the ! answer may he, und prove, undis putahly to thcm, that they have got to take the destiny of their country in their own hauds, and ; either -well. fight or vote.

The rosult of their visit. if telegraphe»i to San Francisoo.should reach us on the Alameda. While Sam goes out shootingduoks with old Grover, and the Judge shows Gresham how to “raise (tax on cards) and John euts ohowder with Brown «nd Schofield, and the Major visitaold friends in street,the atfaire «>{ Hawaii will be progressiug aud we will receive tbe most protnining and most unique reV>orts.
