tho late movement which reflected upon him
but he should ever look back with great sat
isfaction to the present event as proving the
entire confidence of the b ittaliou It was
his desire to allay all dissensions and sink
petty jealousies arising from the late move
ment and interfering with its permaneutuc
cess He believed the Honolulu Utiles could
be depended upon to stand together to the
last m defense of the principles enunciated
on the 30th ot June There was not in his
knowledge a more efficient body of volunteer
soldiers than this Counting the late revo
lution as one he had been in live wars serving
under three flags and it was not m flatter
that he stated that ho had never seen three

Tlio Loan
ThejEuglish public and Parliament seem to
have been concerned over a rumor that the
Hawaiian Government purposed the repudia
tion of that purtioa of the loan which was
flo iled in Loudon By this timo they will
probably have been definitely informed tint
all the Hauaiiiin Government will insist upon
is a foun of bond according to the law so as
to be under oblg ltiou to repay no more than
is borrowed also that tins country will bo
releisedfrom all demands for commissions
and charges not authorized in the Act

Reply to Archimedes-
Editob Gazette The efforts of jour
Archimedean correspondent from Hilo must
perforce discover a better fnlcium over which
to pry his lever of animosity ag mist our pres
ent good government agaiust tho effortsthit
led to ls success and against the ladividuils
who lisked their lives and property at that
critic 1 time in the support and furtherance
of measures conducive to the success before
anogatiug to himself that power of criticism
and exhibition by ins venom an antagonistic
spirit to our present regime t
Truly if Archimedes will exert his power
oil one end of tho lever upon the other end
of winch we pi ice ourselves with the weight
of our convictions with the sentiment of
Luuion eest le force binding us together
as one unlike the expeiience of his great
predecessor a stiange reversal of the effects
of those principles the latter discovered
might take place and our modern Archimi
des unfortunately find himself hoisted into
the ethereal spaco from which he seems to
have absurbed oo much of the gaseous ele
ment
Not qnite two years ago at a time o mis
rule ot shameful autocratic administration
of public officials of binful profligacy in the
expenditure of the peoples mouev an al
most universal cr of indignation went up
from Nnhan to Hawaii that the day for
chauge had dawned As m the other districts
ou the different Islands the Beform party
then called the Opposition placed us ticket
in the field a ticket composed of uood men
What was the result Bj the use of gin of
the power of the administration of the most
shameful and barefaced bribery that reform
ticket was defeated and another two years
of misrule and corruption inflicted on a na
tion already groaning and staggering under
an eiormous debt Which cause did Aroh
ituedes then espouse Wei e his money and
influence and sympathies cist in with the
oartv for it form It is writers like Arch
imedes who would introduce strife nnd dis
sension whire none exist but ui itv reigns us

and Archimedes forgets his cu tomarj cau
tion confounds the definitions of the terms
fslsehood and troth which as yet are not syn
on vmuus when he allows the figures and
fncief of Ins otfii vivid imagination to take
substance from his pen
Archimedes has discoversd a mares nest
nnd the idea of ousting the present incum
bents of government positions nnd supplant
ing them by others is ridiculous let alone
the fact of the Cabinets well considered ac
tion expressed by theii circular and Archi
medes need take up no cudgels in behalf a of
certain relative who by virtue of occupying
positions an infinite uuruber of them at that
shows himself to be possessed of such an ab
normal meutal development that the people
could ill afford to spare him especially at a
time when a reduction of salaries will prove
a boon to the people at large Hiio
