undertake the mission they simply asked this
Government to accredit its representative for,
and who was empowered TO charter steamers
for tho needs Of tho service This showed
they were in earnest and meant business, and
asked not any delay at the hands Of the
Board Of Immigration owaiting appropriations.
II the Government could share in the expense
well and good, but they were and are in q
position to undertake such action as the oxi-
gcncies OF the case demand. And while the
p. c. 4. in this absurdly transparent attempt
to contradict the calumnies which have been
circulated against the Premier has endeavored
to "plastcr" the leading interest Of Hawaii in
the foregoing, il has avoided any alusion to
the steps taken to stop the Portuguese immi-
grafton On this important branch Of labor
supply it lodges the question entirely. We
hope our people will see through the double
dealing here attempted, and not allow them
selves to he won over in confidence to one
who, seeing his power already waning with
those whom hc thought were secured to him
and lie to them forever, now attempts (his
usual game of) seeking favor from those who
have interests at stake, which he has done his
level best to ride over rough shod for the past
two wears

His FrandnIoncY The sheepicr

Rccluo5 not ON q bed of roses. The "happest
day Of his life hls not been prolific of happy re
suite. His transient dream Of greatness has nj
most vanished Mgthuls / hear him, under the
torture of his disappointment and modification,
CRYING out in the stiffness of the night, "Who am
l, what am -" Aud echo moclingly replies,
"Froth fraud Fraud rroih =" What fall ia there
my countrymcn Even his most crcdulous dupcs
are opening thcir eyes to his duplicity and utter
unroliability, and most bitterly regret their be-
trayed rustfulncst How this doyisor of ingenious
swindlcs, which he never communities, must feel
when he realizes his support surely sinking from
under him aud recouzcs what rope of sand''
he cliugs to!
How his fond dreams OF Bismarclian state. craft
have been dispcllcd His grand strokes of di-
plomacy faded from the imaginatons of tho most
visionary. His pct hobby, "prmacy," has proved
unruly and is about bucking His Fraudulcncy into
the ditch of public disgust No matter how liber-
ally he contributes for putting dispatches 10 the
American press, he finds himself founderng in
the quicksands of public distrust, and thore is
help for him; and he goos down to the sweet re-
frain y of "He can't be trusted" Perhaps he il
more deserving of pity than condemnation, for it
is really sad TO witness such wreck of what
'might have been Some Of his latest acts
would indicate that even his emaigg is desert
ing him. Witness his late proclamation ON
the health programme. When ho found he had
slightly ver-shot his mark he pleaded that the
language of the proclamation did not express his
reverse. or course wo can allow for his inerpeti-
ence in writing the English language and is awk-
wardness i'll expressing himself but We would
advise him TO obtain assistance before he pro-
claims again. And what n surprising flphop he
made Ill the Assembly whon he found tho Hon
| member from Kona after him. What fawning
sycophant he has always proven himself He may
yet find the health question an Elephant on his
hands But the most startling evidence of ap-
proaching weakness of mind was his unwarranta-
BILE and cowardly attack on w. N. Armstrong it
was plainly an exhibition of childish venom, pos
sessng no merit whatever either i'll derocation
of Mr.. Armstrong or in making capital for himself.
Aside from his inconsistency and bad taste in
publishing the IIYouant article i'll the manner he
did, he invites pen-lashiuG from source that
will sting He will find that Mr.. Pixley il eminent
iy qualified TO do his own writing, and if he conde
scends tc notice such object at all he will
probably make sharper Comparisons than he did
i'll previous article, wherein he likcned his fraud
ulency TO Il body louso on the Royal person.
What great man tho Primate is-in his mind
And how soon he will bC consigned to disgrnceful
| oblivion he does not realize.

The passage by majority of tho Legislature of
largo appropriations without also laying down in
structlon5 that shall direct explicitly how these
large sums of puplic moneys shall be expended, is
in our opinion, neither good government nor wise
economy. Such work as this is unauthorized
wastefulness. an unconstitutional squanderng of
public treasure.
From the time when tho present new dynasty
elevated to tho throne of Hawaii and in ac-
cordance with the authority conferred on it by the
constitution of our land appointed Minister'S to
the present time, we have probably not had
Cabinet that has sought to begule us into an inn
mense debt, as this Cabinet is striving TO do
earnestly seeking to trap like rats in the Jaws
of debt or to load us down with the heavy burdens
of adversty and distress. When this new Cabinet
was appointed, great hopes were raised in the
mind of the nation, that the country was to be
blest and its interests advanced, but if actions of
the Cabinet are carefully observed, does il look
like patriotism for the Ministers to go out of their
way to acquiesce Ill the numerous ill-consdered
petitions for money, without lifting up a
warning and restraining voice? To contract q
suitable debt for the purpose of opening new roads,
making new landings, buoys and bridges, Deepen
ing the channel of the harbor, and filling in low
lands--works which in our opinion will open the
gateways of prosperity s all very we'll; but 10 go
in debt for things the use of which is not made
apparent either by the officers of the Government
or any one else is outrageous.
While the present head of the Cabinet Was in
the outs and was engaged III criticiZing the ex-
penditures of tho previous Ministry, he was very
earnest in opposition but now that the burden of
leadership has fallen to him, it is seem that the
Appropriation Bill for the next two years is enor-
mously large, and people are becoming disguised
with his manner of conducting tho Government
Perhaps he IS only skilled in talk and lacks skill
in real work. If so the leader of the Government
will fail lfR

THE EGYPTIAN TROUBLES

Every mail that arrives from the Coast re-
ports affairs in Egypt to he in a more critical
condition England and France are preparing
large bodies of troops to bo moved to the
scene if complications continue, and thirty
six vessels of war flying different flags are
anchored before Alexandria. This powerful
and unanimous demonstration would not bo
made by other countries unless affairs were in
u most serious state, and it will he interesting.
TO uoto tho causes that has brought about the
proseut crisis in the "Khedive's Egypt"
Mchemot Ali, the founder of the dynasty of
Khedives, appointed Governor oilEgypt, made
himself viceroy, and his family has been kept
in power ever since, and by increasing the
amount of tribute paid to Tutkcy have secured
several concessions until now the country is al
most Independent of the Porte. Mchcmet Ais
successors have not possessed his rmncss
or wisdom aud their extravaganza has led the
country deeper and deeper in debt, until it
seemed that there was no way left to turn.
England and Franco hold the greater part OF
the country's bonds, and when it was found
that it would be impossible for the Khedvo' 3
corrupt Government to liquidate it's debt, those
two countries appointed commissioners to
manage the financial affairs Of the country,
which they have done with such ability that
confidence was inspired in the credit of the
nation, taxes were made equal and paid will
| ingly and the Government gradually emerged
from the Slough of dospond' into which it
had s.rayed.
AS soon as the country got its head above
water again the Pasha, or patrician party, led
by Arab Pasha, an INSCRIPTIONS and ambitious
| schemer, became jealous of foreign influence
and particularly of the foreign officers whose
efforts alone saved the nation from bankruptcy,
and movement was organized to dismiss
them. Egypt has an army and navy of heI
own, raised with the intention, eventually, OF
securing total independence o. Turkey, but
now it is proving a source OF trouble. The
. demonstration in favor of the programme oil
the Pasha party has thrown the country into
a state of anarchy and has given Alexandria
over to the mob Much blood has been shed
and the end is not yet. There is possibility
that English and French forces will occupy
the country jointly; the future at any rate does
not look bright.
History repeats itself over and over again
We know of one kingdom that may in the moi
distant future find itself in the same boat il
which Egypt is now drifting. We should lool
as we run

ON THE WRONG SCENT.

All men have an equal right to form an
| opinion on any subject whatever. Every man,
woman or child who visits this kingdom is
probably more or less favorably or unfavor-
| ably impressed by it. 1t makes not the
| slightest difference whether the latest arrival
from the Hawaiian Islands who is undergoing
the customary cross-examination be a visitor
or resident, an ex-Attorney General or a
taro merchant; they are alike subjected to an
impromptu or premeditated interview on the
subject of Hawaiian affairs in general; of the
labor question and the future of the country
In particular. This was not always the case
but it is inevitable at present, when the Ha-
waiian Government is exciting in America
considcrable-shall we say, amusement?
Since man cannet help having an opinion,
and the expression Of it is not infrequentIy
wrung from him by the ubiquitous "inter-
viewers; since, too often, the opinion which
he has quietly impaired to friend is passed
from lip to lip, and thus becomes distorted, is
added to, and finally gets into print in q shape
which passes his recognition-can he be Justly
held responsible for the sentiments as they are
expressed in tho columns Of Journal? Again,
what right has the reader to attribute to him,
or to any one in particular, the instigaton
Of an article which doubtless meets with the
approval OF a vast number OF people. any one
Of whom might have furnished material for
an article Of similar character?

1t is the late Attorney General to whom the
Premier has the presumption to attribute
the Argonam article relating to the possible
future of the Islands The late Attorney
General, knowing the characteristics of the
recently appointed Premier, took occasion 10
inform his friends in Hawaii that he was in no
degree responsible for the article which he
had been told had appeared in the ArgondW,
and yet the Premier, in his Daily, translates
the article and publishes it under the title OF
The thoughts of W. n Armstrong (Limai-
kaika"D Perhaps nothing less contemplate
can be expected of ono whose highest nmbi-
ton was gratificd when he obtained his pres
ont uuenvablc and prccarious position.
Saturday press. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1880-1885, 1882-07-15


Much interest has been manifested i'll the
Argonam leaders on the, Hawaiian situation,
and more prominence Civ Gn thereto by an evil
dent desire of the p. C.. H. to father them onto
Mr.. w. n. Armstrong; reasons best known
to the Primate editor, but which the majority
OF our people strongly suspect To those who
have read, or will read them carefully, they
can readily trace their authorship to foreign
hand from any party who resided here,
especially for any length Of time, for although
fair knowledge of our situation on the whole
is apparent, and some hard truths are made to
fit in certain places; it is a matter of regret
that the points made and suggestions given
should be modified or injured by Objectionable
personalities and expressions used, but which
are quite peculiar to California. The articles
give US all food for thought, but is cold and
unfeeling for the Hawaiian, probably from the
fact that our Hawaiian politicians evince no
forethought themselves. The suggestion that
various nationalities here should drop their
petty jealousies and unite for tho country 3
good and foster the feeling of American pro-
lection and influence is golden truth that we
hope will be accepted. Annexation schemes
are not what is wanted, neither by this people
nor by the United States.

GIBSON AND THE LOAN.

The editorial in the daily r. c. i. of Thurs
day last on the Ten Million Loan Bill shows
us what We may expect from the country's
law makers, and shows, too, that that journal
recognizes the enormity of its crime in letting
the Million Loan craze developc into some
thing of tangible shape without so much as
saying word in opposition The proprietor
of that paper. recognizing during the late
campaign that the "Loan" was the iavorte
horse on the course among the natives, olung
TO its tail and was dragged into the Legislative
Hall. His refusal to oppose the project while
it served as stepping stone for himself was
virtual Endorsement of it. Time and again
he has waxed virtuously indignant at those
who have opposed the bill and sought to de-
nolish them with his childish editorials. He
has in the columns of his paper favored the
negotiation of u loan and given it to he UNDER
stood that he would support Il large loan of
several millions. After thus patting the ma
tivcs OH the back and encouraging them in
their course, the "statesman'' Lilikalani intro
duced bill into the House providing for the
negotiation of such q loan. When Mr. Bishop
moved its indefinite postponcmcnt Mr.. Gibson,
his colleagues in the Ministry, and a majority
of the native members voted mo" And now,
al this late hour, when tho Premier Che likes
to be called Premier), realizes the injury he
has done, his paper comes out cditorially OH
the matter in plai" language for the first time,
and says: "It is rumored that heads have
hna tal - 1
certain that the Ten Million Loan Bill will re-
| turn full-Hedged from the Committee. i
We very much regret to believe that there ia
any foundation for such rumors. No greater
mistake, financially or politically, could be
made by the Legislature than to pass such Q
bill as this"
As long as danger from the bill was mol
imminent Mr.. Gibson preferred to remain
quiet on tho question and keep in with itt
| supporters; hut now, when he at last sect
what the result will be, he holds out his feeble
hand to stay the tide of destruction which nc
one has done more to encourage than he. Bu
! is not this another Gibsonian dodge? Is thi:
editorial not intended to pave the way for tn,
i"e'i'"pic' W piePaie ihe PeoPie ioT thc pdss-
| age of the bill? This first, only and perhap.
last slap at tine bill was evidently to make tn,
Premier solid with those who opposed it
But as Mr.. Gibson got into the Legislator,
and afterward into the Ministry by being al
acknowledged supporter Of the Loan, and az
he has said or dono nothing against it, he cal
not consistently go back on his course now
If he is sincere in his editorial utterances Of
| Thursday last he must council the King tc
veto the bill, and if the bill pass the Hous,
and receive the Kings signature, it will thcr
be in order for him to resign. Which way will
| he turn?
