Doca thie silly writer know that tho Aus.

10 tho Premiership IN England Of Mr., Glad

had to explain away ~ boat he could tho Of
icnsvc phrases ho had uscd IN cnnyaaning

Queen Victoria did not talk about contempt I;
nho, better perhaps than any ono olsc, knows
that the British Crown In beyond the roach Of
contempt, aud itp wcnrSr nbovr such petty np-
| prohonnions. About tho same time new
Ambassador wna commissioned from France to
England A poction In the House of Commons
| objected to aon,c rcpn,cd nntoccdcntn IN this
| gcntlomnn's history, aud loudly demanded Of
| the Government that ho bc not accepted M
Ambassador to 81. Jnmca'. The Govclnincnt
on the other hand, decided that tho objections
were futile, mot aud vnnquinhcd their oppo-
ncnia in open debate, and neither tho British
Sovereign or tho French Prcsidcnt began to
whmper about contempt. Tho Ambassador
| himself kept digniicd silence. aud never
| thought of publishing list of celebrities he
| had known.
We have acnrccly space TO call attention
| TO the unconscious irony Of this writcr
| in comparing possible objection made
| by tho Hawaiian Consul in London ns against
| Mr.. Gladstone with tho action of tho three
| Rcprcso natives here, M obloc,ing 10 Moreno.
| The writer does not even know that tho Rep
| rcscntntvcs of tho great European Powers
forced upon the Sultan change Of Foreign
| Minister: neither does ho know apparently
| what happened to tho late khcdivo OF Egypt.
| Finally, we have to call attention to soinc ol
| tho many mis- statements in the letter. IL is
not true that the three ilags were hoislcd with
| out occnsion, or that they were secured 10 tho
| poles night and day and If it were true, then
we say that tho Representatives themselves
| ia ,,,.l, u v,hu ut ihav al,
| do in such n matter.
Further, il IL not true that tho British Com
missioner opposed Moreno on account oi II book
written by him (Morcno). for the simple reason
that no such book was ever written, as far as
we can learn
1t is not true that the American Minister
"callcd as friend to see the King His Ma
jcsty sent for aud invited General Comfy to u
conversation.
1t is not true that when "Morcno resigned
''his Office, still the Foreign Representatives
"dd not recognize the Government" II is
simply impossible that the rest Of the para
graph should bo true, viz, son account of
" this non recognition by the Representatives
" of other lands, the Ministry (9f rhich Moreno
" 'ras member at Mc time '') decided to
enter complaint against them, because" Sc.
Here we actually have Moreno as Minister
making complaint against tho Representative
ON the ground of their nou recognition of n
Ministry after his own resignation had been
accepted
We shall see what fruit his outra gcously
foolish re-opening Of the Bush Moreno blundcr
may bring forth; meanwhile like our contcm,-
porary, we promise that this exposure il To
