IMPRESSIONS.

BY D.L.H. THE PRINCIPLE has been reorganized at last. Liliuokalani recognizes it; the boodlers of all degrees and conditions recognize it. Perhaps the only ones in the whole country who do fully recognize it are some of the new made officers, miraculously called to a little brief authority, and they are too dizzy from the rapid revolution of Fortune's wheel to recognize their own image in a looking-glass. Humpy-dumpy sat on a wall, Humpy-dumpy had a great fall, All the King's horses and all the King's men, Couldn't set Humpy-dumpy up again. The Hawaiian monarchy is like a broken egg; all the doctors and tinkers, all the chemists and alchemists in the world could not it together again. So the United States and the great European powers would not be able to restore the Hawaiian monarchy even if they wished to; but no one gathers up broken eggs, and none of the powers will give a single thought to Liliuokalani and her choice collection of courtiers and sycophants. They are of the past and the thoughts of men turn not backward, but forward to the future - a future bright with promises of peace, progress and prosperity for Hawaii and all the inhabitants thereof. Thank God for the dawn of a new era! WHEN I strolled by one of the Palace gates after my return to town, it gave me a thrill of pleasure to see a white man on guard there. His gait and bearing were not military, no more were his clothes; but he looked fully capable of guarding that entrance. I like the native in his place, but it is not his place to lord it over the white man. I then visited the government build ing, the barracks and the stationhouse, and everywhere I saw the familiar faces of the Drei Hundred - the despised, persecuted, patient, long-suffering Drei Hundred. I found my friend Wagner, whom the enemy in derision called "Detective" Wagner, occupying the seat where King Bolabola used to hold his court and manipulate the reins of government. They were all extremely cheerful and contented, so I had to conclude that the revolution had been a great success. THE NEW GOVERNMENT deserves great credit for the liberal may in which the men on guard are treated. They are well led, well lodged and well paid. There is not a trace of the or of which men in subordinate positions have

so often to complain. Everyone is satisfied and if any of the enemy hope to weaken the government by sowing dissenstion in the ranks, they will meet with no response. I SUPPOSE the Boodlers will be disappointed to find that the most of the Liberals are satisfied with the new order of things, and are heartily supporting the new government. They would like the Liberals to do the kicking which they are too cowardly to do themselves. They have often played that game, but they played it once too often. Beatint the Liberals was a very fine pasttime; but every time they did it, they beat themselves; and finally they broke their necks in their last supreme effort to beat the Liberals The Liberals have undone a half-a-dozen cabinets, and finally they shouldered their guns and marched into the Government Building, and they will hold the fort will the country is annexed to the United States whether that be six months or six years. IT IS DISAPPOINTING that the Advertiser does not give the Drei Hundred the full credit for their part in the revolution. It is true that the Provisional Government is entirely Reform; nevertheless the real power to take and run the government came from the Liberal League. The Liberal League aided the Reform in the struggle for the principle which finally culminated in the revolution. Without the League the Mahope cabinet would in all probability be in power to-day. It would be becoming for the Advertiser in its account of recent event to recognize a little more generously the services of its allies. -
