OUR neighbor Gazette, under a new
editorial management, states in to-day's
issue, a purpose to avoid anything like per-
~sonality and on the same page insinuates
that Hon. S. K. Kaai is not the author of
his speech at ~Kaumakapili that it
"smacks of a certain style of Oratory," and
that the "howl against the Board of
Health is very amusing, coming from the
quarter it does" Now, this is mere in
situation and unjust suspicion and I'M
worthy of the principles of fairness of dis
cussion announced. The translation of the
speech in Saturdays advertiser was not
literal, perhaps somewhat anglicized but
any one familiar with the native language
will recognize in the native version pub
lished in the EleIe, the genuine ring of
Hawaiian thought and feeling, of which
the Honorable Noble, it is well known, is
an admirable exponent in his o~ratory.
Then away with your i~nsinuation, it is
unfounded and an insult to thisH Hawaiian
gentleman.

LONDON, October 10.-The Mark Lane E1
press in its review of the British corn trade
for the past week says: GA very small por-
tion of the Scotch crops is still ungathered.
The yield in Scotland is reported to be un-
satisfactory, and the quality varied. The
harvest has now ceased to influence trade.
The supply in London was liberal,
and offerings increased. The firm
ness of fine samples is due to
the pressing demand for seed wheat
Millers absolutely reject inferior The
foreign trade was weaker. Red wheat
declined a shilling at the close. The spot
supply, about half Of which was Am ricau,
was equal to the demand, which was
healthy although inactive. Buyers are
waiting for decline. The high rates in
New York had but little effect upon the
London or Liverpool trade, the buyers atten-
tion being now attracted to Southern Russia.
Flour was in fair supply, aud In healthy de-
mand throughout the country. The best
makes were firmly held. Foreign was In
fair demand, and the best makes thereof
were also firmly held. The most saleable
brands of American are practically out Of
the market. Barley (malting) was in good
demand and firm. Grinding was con-
stantly in buyers favor. The great
bulk of the British crop is only fit for
grinding. For good foreign there was
full inquiry at full prices. Maize was IN
moderate supply. Mixed American was
scarce and values were Sd. easier on Friday.
The large quantity Of grinding barley in
Great Britain tends to lower the maize
value. Oats were unchanged The samples
are so bad that values can barely be tested.
Foreign sells SLOWLY. Wednesdays
gain of Sd. was barely maintained
on Friday. The off coast supply was
restricted. Seven arrivals, five OF which
were American, were sold. Number two

CoNKIING's AVERSION For BAYARn--

CONKLINGS S AVERSION FOR BAYARD.-
Chicago Times special Senator
Bayard would have been elected Presi-
dent pro tenn. of the Senate during its
last special session had it not been for
Roscoe Conkling. Mr.. Conkling has
most intense dislike to Mr.. Bayard.
When the New York Senator learned
that the Democrats intended to elect
Mr.. Bayard, he went directly to Mr..
Arthur, and directed him to keep his
place as presiding officer until adjourn.
ment, and by that means defeated Mr..
Bayard. 1t was intimated on the part of
the Republicans that if the Democrats
would select Harris, of Tennessee, they
would permit an election to take place.
The Democrats regarded this dictation
as mere impertinence, and so the whole
matter went over The majority of
Democratic Senators who have been
heard from are of the opinion that, as
Mr.. Bayard was once so near an elec
ton, the Office should be rendered to him
again. There is no doubt that Mr.
Bavard would like to have the Office
rendered to him. After that, it is among
the possibilities that he may decline in
favor of Judge Davis.

A Just Indictment.
Philadelphia Inquirer (Rep.)

The other day the ex Governor of
South Carolina, whom President Grant
sustained in Office by the use of Federal
troops, stole an overcoat, and later he
swindled another person to the pitiful
amount of $25. But, at the very time
that he was calling upon the President
of the United States for more troops,
and getting them as often as he repeated
his call, he was devoting his entire time
labor and ability to robbiDg the people
of South Carolina, and he robbed them
with such excellent effect that, while he
is in jail for stealing coats and petty
cash, they are bankrupts. The fraudu
lent loans that he created in the name Of
the State of South Carolina, and issued
under the seal of that common
wealth, were sufficient in amount
to swamp her legitimate resources
and to brand him as one of the
most gigantic of political swindlers. He
caused to be elected, by the colored
people he controlled, Legislature COM
posed almost wholly of negroes, fresh
from the rice fields, who could neither
read nor write, and he used them to as
sist him in consummating his stupendous
rascalIties. But he would have been
powerless to continue his brief career OF
robbery and jobbery as Governor of the
State if he had not been sustained in his
Office by Federal bayonets at the COM
mand of President Grant. Ex Governor
Moses, sneak thief and confidence opera
tor, is legitimate result of the stalwart
policy of reconstruction in the South,
and the only satisfactory thing there is
to record concerning him is that at last
he is likely to get his deserts.
