white skim and III ulduid (red skim have
been the terms used throughout the existence
of that paper to keep distinctly before the
minds of its readers (ili ulnula) the line
which demnrks and distinguishes the white
man from the native, and eve" from the
context of the Eieis, is always to be inferred
as directly alludng to the latter race. From
the utter absence Of expressions of sympathy,
or respect, towards foreigners as a class !.
from the frequent allusions to wrongs sus-
taincd by the natives as Il ciiss, and Tor none
other, and from pointed allusions to acts iu-
consistent with the welfare OF the notire, and
reminder of who the deinqueuis were by n
reference to color, all points to the truth Of
the charge which lie would now deny before
his foreign readers. But the man that would
call record Of his own life published from
reliable sources, and largely endorsed with
his own hand in writing, " the made up story
of convicted thief, dead these many years."
it would be difficult indeed TO mcte the extent
to which his unscrupuous and brazcn
cifrontery will lead him in his denial of truths
written in characters that may be read from
the moon. Can any one read the following
statement made by Gibson in thc d,yrsrt;srr or
last Saturday, and then the sequent quota
tions from his ndiire paper, and imagine a
grosscr insult to the common intelligence of
his foreign readers than the first will carry
with it? "Mr. Gibson, in all his interconsre
with the Hawaiian people having any refer
ence to public questions, has been particularly
conciliatory and conservative He has never
advised or taught anything contrary to the
most cordial determination of races. His
antagonists know this, and of course at this
time, they are not seeking, and do not want
the truth, when lie serve their turn better"

A lie certainly does not suit MS better than
tho truth, Ms Mr.. Gibson asserts. II it did,
we would be on better terms with him, and
be ready to acknowledge our obligation to
him for his important services in this particu-
lar line.
What Mr.. Gibson wrote in the E2sLe in the
latter part of 1880, has been kept mp in spirit
ever since :: and il he Las any popularity among
the Hawaiians to-day, it is the direct off,
spring of the race antasonism he has always
cultivated in that paper. And he has not
been reniss with such an object in
view, TO torture facts and figures and
invent phantoms and chimeras to his own
ends. Latterly, perhaps, his attacks on for
eigners have been less open and more nsdious;
but the spirit and motives which actuated
them from the beginning is now neither dead
nor abated. 1t is but u little time since when
he informed his native readers that threats OF
narm to his employer. John Sheldon, had bsen
made anonymously through the post by letter,
in case this young man persisted in serving
hia employer. But, he did not fail TO inform
his readers that the missile was not the pro-
duc,ion of a naiire. 1t was insnuated that
the alleged epstle was the work of a foreigner
Ii we could believe that such threat was
ever made by any one,-we would ask by
what process Of reasoning the inference as to
its authorship could be made, unless by the
supposi,ion that as the champion of native
rights, IA contradstinguished from those Of
the foreigners, he had incurred the i'll will OF

Mr.. Gibson would now also deny his politi-
cal friendship for Moreno, during the exct-
Ing period of August, 1850 !" but h,s paper
from that date on for many months, was sur
feiting with letters, and other matter, highly
colnmendatory of this gentleman. We canno,
here afford space for quotations, but could
give them in dozens; and we deem it unneccs-
sary TO establish fact so universally known.
