&c If We discern the temper of the people, the an
nouncement Of the names Of any such will be ex-
tremely hazardous to the peace of Hawaii mel, espec-
tally at a time when, from every part of the group,
the mutterings Of popular discomfort are clearly
audible"
A statement so reckless and so well known to
be devoid Of foundation as the above, which APP
pears in the editorial columns of the Gazette of
this week, might safely be treated by us with
silent contempt as the harmless twaddle of imbe-
cility but unfortunately it will be read abroad,
among people who are not acquainted with the
GaeeIe's character for unreliability, and thus it
will be likely, if uncontradicted, to seriously
injure our good name and to create a distrust in
the stability of our government, which may prove
prejudicial to the interests of the country. We
desire therefore to say, in so many words, that
8 the mutterings of popular discomfort =" which
60 from every part of the group =" are so {" clearly
audible " to the Gazette writer, are utterly I'M
heard outside of his sanctum, and that with him
the wish is father to the thought. 1t is however
true that in his native paper, the KuOkOa, this same
writer, aided by the small circle of his eo-labor-
ers, has Persistently striven by misrepresentation
and appeals to ignorant native prejudice to arouse
a feeling of a. popular discomfort" And if,
among the unreasoning, unsettled portion of the
native people, who so largely make up the floating
population of this city, these attempts prove sue
c~essfCl, and there shall be bred such a " discon-
tent . as will lead to deeds of violence-tbe sedi-
tious teachings of the Ruokoa will unquestiona-
bly, be found to be the cause. But in every other
part of the group, outside Of Honolulu, the
people are industriously employed, and have
neither the time nor the inclination to become
''Popularly Disconnected" Truly the Gazette
and KuOkOa are evil birds, that would fam foul
their own nests
