MONDAY, APRIL 10, 1893, A HIDEOUS INSULT. On Friday p.m., the Daily Bulletin stated trrot it had intelligence that Mr, Blount had orders to teplace the de posed Queen upon the throne; that whatever '"violent denials were made, its information was correct; and that as its former intelligence had proved re liable that the American flag would be removed, so would this last prove true, E. C. Macfarlane, just arrived, did at a luau on the same evening, make loud proclamation to the same effect, to the natives and others assembled. As the consequence the royalists were greatly elated, and the very active annexation . movement among the natives received a check through fear. This morning, the natives were circulating the rumor that the Queen was to be restored to day. We do net believe the Bulletin, be cause such a thing is incredible in the nature of the case. -We regard it as a bravado for the purpose of intimidating native annexationists. But we are not going to expend our strength in denial We herein will only denounce the foul insult of which the Bulletin and Mr Macfarlane are guilty. It is implied by them that the forces of the United States are to be employed to restore the discredited regime which this civilized community, after long endurance, has cast out; a restoration which, if achieved, would have to be by outside force. Unless crushed by tha force, our people will permit no such dishonor. The thing proposed is, to replace over this clean, refined, civilized com munity the ex-Queen with her two per sonal favorites, re-establishing them in the high offices from which the indig nation of our outraged people expelled them three months ago. The honor able men and women of Hawaii had long striven to shut their eyes and close their nostrils to the filth of that court, Now that the whole of that garbage has become spread out to the world, we are told by our insulters that we are expect ed again to pay our humble respects to that exalted Triple Alliance, and to compete again for its favor, withal, no doubt, accepting such penalties as it may mete out to us for our contumacy, This contains the elements of "The inexpiable wrong, the unutterable shame, That turns the coward's heart to steel, the sluggard s blood to flame. It is an insult to Mr. Blount, to speak of him as capable of such an act. It is supposed that when the deed is done. he and his are to advance and pay their devoirs to the unspeakable trio ? What an atrocious insult this is to him! It is especially an insult to the officers and men of the United States ships of war, to talk of their ibeing employed in such a revolutionary task. Above all, it is a deadly insult to the people of the United States, to talk of remanding their noble American Colony in Hawaii, so high in character, in cul ture, in patriotic sacrifice for civilized constitutional government, back under that loathsome and paralyzing regime which it had expelled. It will not be done. The authors of this insult who propose this deed will slink away and be forgotten. Were they indeed able to carry it into effect, the scorn of all civilized men would pursue them to the last hour and the lowest pit. SELF-IMPOSED LAW. It is quite true that each step in the development of civilized government in Hawaii has not only been taken or induced by foreigners, but that a large and powerful Hawaiian element was constantly opposed to such innovations on their ancient ways. Law as known to the Hawaiian early chiefs meant the absence of law, and the gratification of their personal whims. Many of those chiefs did not take kindly to the limit ation of their traditional control over the land and persons of the common people which was made by the first Bill of Rights declared at Lahaina n 839, or by the Constitution made by Kamehameha III. in 1852. That chief is said to have declared at that time that he reserved to himself the right to change the Constitution. He did not attempt to do so, but Kameha mcha V., in making his Constitution of 1865 in a way not provided for, to put it mildly, relied, it is said, on the Ka mehameha reserved right. But the royal line of Constitution- makers disappeared with Lunalilo, and the elected sovereign Kalakaua was sovereign solely by virtue of the power given to him by the Constitution itself. The same was true of Liliuokalani. 'Hie "aggressiveness" of the latter regime had not the foundation in fact or in law of the old regime. We shall allude again to this topic in connection with the claim that repre sentative constitutional government was at the mercy of Liliuokalani, because Hawaiians were induced to ask her to throw off constitutional trammels. Under the querulous caption, "On Which Side ?" the Bulletin prints the following: Walter G. Smith, managing editor of the Hawaiian Star, is correspondent at Honolulu for the San Francisco Chronicle and the Chicago Herald. In a Honolulu despatch in a recent issue of the last-named newspaper ap peared a statement by ex-Attorney General Peterson, and this paragraph followed it: There is no doubt here that Peterson tells the ptain truth in this statement. It is import ant as showing the part played by Minister btcvens in the conspiracy to overthrow the queen and secure annexation in the first flush of enthusiasm, belore the American govern ment should learn the full facts. The paragraph is not an editorial comment, but a part of Mr. Smith's correspondence. Now, how does Mr, Smith stand? Is he carrying water on both shoulders? Perhaps the manage ing editor of the Star can explain. Mr. Peterson's letter was printed separately from Mr. Smith's correspon dence and the comment referred to was written, so far as we know, by Mr. Peterson himself. The Chronicle rep resentative was handed the ex-Attorney-General's essay just before the steamer left and had no time to read it. He sent it on with the annotation "Un read and unedited," and there his con nection with it ended. The New York Independent, than which there is no paper more qualified to speak fi.r the thinking class of Amer ican citizens, is strongly U r annexa tion. It does nut consider the with drawal of thu treaty nn unfncnd'y act on President Cleveland's p rt, but expresses the belief that he will again send that instrument to the Senate, possibly with some minor changes, and warmly approve its passage. Touching the local sentiment of the islands the Independent says: "We think we know the natives well enough to understand that they are composed of two classes, the one progressive and Cnristian, the other drunken and enslaved to their Kahunas, or witch doctors. The form er, we believe, side with the missiona ries and the white natives in desiring annexation; the latter, we understand, side with the New York Herald, the Evening Post, and the late Quren in opposing it." While the editor of the Star was writing his revelation .of Provisional policy regarding the franchise for that paper, the Chronicle was on its way to Honolulu as fast as the Alameda s en gines could carry it, with the editor's exposition of Provisional policy, written before it was found necessary for the party to effect its change of base. Bulletin. The editor of the Star is not and has not been a correspondent of any coast paper. He employs men who write over their signatures to various American journals but what they choose to say in their letters does not commit the Star in any way. It will be time enough for the royalists to charge the Star with inconsistency when its edi tor-in-chief writes one way in one paper and another in this. The British side of the island contro versy was given to Col. Blount Saturday by ex-Sheriff Hayselden of Maui and Lanai. Mr. Hayselden as son-in-law of Gibson and as a man who has always worked for English and royal domina tion here, was glad of the chance, which Col. Blount's attentive ear gave him, to free his mind about the "missionaries." It may occur to Col. Blount now we hope it will to give the "missionaries" chance to unburden their mind about Mr. Hayselden. He has been a ruther noted man in these parts though not in just the way to commend his ad vice to an American envoy. The resolutions in favor of the suf frage which the Annexation club has passed ought to convince the natives that the reform element has no desire to trespass on their natural rights. No doubt there were those who, at the start, felt that it would be unsafe to give much rope to the Hawaiians, but that idea has been dispelled by the peaceful and intelligent course which the natives have pursued. They have shown themselves capable of law-abid- Ing citizenship and we fully and candid ly believe that, if annexation comes, Congress will deal with them In justice and generosity. Bishop Willis missionary forces dwindle in the light like Fallstaff's nine men in buckram. A careful count proves that less than one-and-a-half per cent of the members of the Annex ation Club have missionary blood in their veins. The Star trusts that the Bishop will be fair enough, now that he is given to see his eiror, to notify the natives of Madagascar that there is no cause for alarm. One could not tell what they might do if they were permitted to hold much longer the un easy views about Hawaiian matters which His Lordship credits them with, An Eastern journal wants to know why the American people should ''steal an island from a poor old colored worn an ?" It does seem rather hard, but when the old lady never owned the isl and and has salted down a fortune while pretending to, the case wears a different aspect. Our esteemed con temporary could make better use of its tearful sympathies by connecting them with a main sewer. Kaiulani's tender appeals to the American people might have been writ ten by a romantic school girl with her heart full of pangs and her mouth full of caramels. A throne occupied by so languishing a young creature would soon have wads of chewing gum stuck on the back and perfumed valentines piled under the seat. And what dudelet's paradise this would be, to be sure 1 The yarn about a restoration is told to stop the native rush to the annexa tion side. It is merely a political trick, quite worthy of the men who are play ing it and without basis in Colonel Blount's purpose or in the logic of the situation. The revolution is going forward and not backward. Does the Bulletin duplicate its sub scriptiun list as it does its advertise ments ? STAR STOCKHOLDES.

Are we to be, or not to be, a part 6f the Great Republic, seems to be the burning ques tion of the day, and one we had rather leave to wiser heads than ours to solve; and while great statesmen are wrestling with this momentous question, we want to have a little "prtu- tuenv " with you on some other subjects, that concern you as well as ourselves. Has it not occurred to you that you've been weariner that old hat long enough ! In these progressive times if you intend 1 ... t to oe "in it, you ve got to keep pace with fashion. No matter how otherwise well dressed you may be. unless vour hat is the correct thing you bear a shabby appearance. We have already laid in a stock of the Latest Hats of the coming Spring and Summer styles, in hard felts, soft felts and straws, and including a line of the celebrated " Fidora " Hats, at present all the rage in the United States. There is therefore, no necessity for you to hang on any longer to that old Tile that bears such a strong resemblance to the hat ' your father wore. Believing that business will be better in the near future, we have not hesitated to keep our stock full in all lines. Take collars for instance : We have almost everything you could wish for. If you wear a stand ing collar, just come in and take a look at our " Narenta" or "Ardonia ;" or if you prefer a turn down collar, trv the. "Winnipeg" or "Goswell;" we have have lots of others, and can t iail to suit you. Cuffs m abundance, links or otherwise. Neckwear in profusion, scarfs Windsors 4-in -hands, and a special lot of " Boys' Bows;" suspenders in great variety, leather and woven ends, good strong, serviceable goods. We might go on indefinitely, but space is valuable, and to enumerate everything we carry would fill a pretty fair sized Book. If there is anything you want in the men's line, just drop in and see us, and if we can't suit you, we don'tbe lieve any one can. If you should want a pair of nice shoes, let us try a hand at fitting you. Did it ever occur to you How much a man is like his shoes; For instance, both a soul may lose. Both have been tanned; Both are made tight by Cobblers; Both get left and right; Both need a mate to be c mplete; And both are made to go on feet. They both need healing; oft are sold, And both in time will turn to mould. With shoes the I st is first; with men The first shall be the last; and when The shoes wear out, they're mended new; When men wear out, they're men dead too. They both are trod upon, and both Will tread on others nothing loth. Both have their ties, and both incline When polished, in the world to shine; And both peg out Now would you choose To be a man, or be his shoes. M. McINERNY, r 1 r : i.C it . . .S " Ml
