that brought him to grief by being dropped

says this is an nctionabe ofense, and shows
his simplicity by not going TO law Ito recover
his property. What stupid shallow cocoanut
he has, anyway! Go and demand your letter
OF the one who found it, and not OF us lest you
be fooled for your pains.

All the people of this town are praisng the

Indignation is felt at the base conduct of

and Gibson TO you is simply scandalous, and
their being leaders opposed to the interests Of
the Hawaiian people is means of bringing

THE NATIVE PRESS.
THE GIBSON BUSH CABINET.

We fill three columns and more of the first
page OF our issue to-day with the outspoken
thoughts Of the people from one end of the land
to the other, approving and praising the stand
taken by the Paf .4ina, and condemning the
Cabine; and the 6ass legislature, as the people
fear not to call it. And what is noticeable is,
that among these writers are two tax assessors,
one tax collector, and one custom house officer
who are opposed 10 the bad government of the
Cabinet.
In looking over this exhibit Of the sentiment
oil the people in opposition to the present Cab
met which has not the confidence of the people
be retained in their positions, as rulers.
Taking office on the goth Of May four full
months will have passed since they began their
management of affairs, and what, we ask, are
their important works accomplished during
this period
These are only the important works we can
see they have done the treasury of the nation
has been robbed the Government is called
upon to plunge into debt of $500, 900, for the
purpose probably of paying the officers of gov
eminent ; the ministers have taken in $40
piece; and the mind of the nation has been
stirred through and through and has sent up
cry OF opposition to the present Cabinet.
Are these the sort Of actions the nation de-
sires of its rulers, and that it should be said
that its bankrupt premier is being enriched at
their expense?

A RAscALLy ACTION OF MR.. BUSH.


We cannot see why the Minister of Interior
should select the p c. Adoryfiser and the
Haaoaiian Gazette (ne) to print the laws, and
leave the truly Hawaiian newspapers hnokoa
and FN dina out in the cold. Does
this black heart think that thu: foreigners out.
number the native Hawaiians who number
$1,000, that he should deprive the pure Ha.
waiians of the sight of the laws of their own
land? Mo- This act of his comes simply of
revenge and spite, and can meet only the con.
domination of the nation aeaina Sept. I6,
1882.
TWO THOUGHTS.
Two principles are now contending with
each other in this country these two princi.
pies are struggling with each other in the news.
papers, and in the mind of men. The former
OF these may be stated thus The government,
to return to its state when there was no consti.
tuition, and the whole power and authority to
be vested again in the hand of the sovereign.
his wish and his word alone to be carried on,
whether right or wrong, regardless of the rights
Of Others.
The opposing principle or alternative is this
The King to rule, subject to the constitution.
that he be unable to perform any act of his
own wish in opposition to the constitution of
the land that he be restrained from using his
power as King to oppose the rights secured to
the people.
Let our readers look carefully at these
thoughts and Judge what is being done ut the
present time. II the former principle triumphs
in this land, then the citizen will no longer
have any rights under the constitution; pro.
gress will be at an end the right Of suffrage
and that of legislation will become good for
nothing and be entirely subverted.
But this is the principle which Gibson and
his fellow ministers are striving to make victo.
rious, and it was for this purpose they went
into the cabinet. lie is strong in his public
professions Of love to the Hawaiian, and many
are captured by him. But he is diligently dig
ging pit in which to bury the civil rights and
freedom Of every Hawaiian citizen.
II there remains to this nation a raw of hone
mat they will maintain their rights under the
laws, and their privileges as frecmcn. LET them
rise and denounce the deeds that are now being
Done Let them in all proper and lawful way,
rise up and oppose those who are con,endinp
TO rob this people Of this country Of their civil
rights. -Anekoa, Sept. 10, 1884

Closing Scenes fn the Sturla Trial.
 CHICAGO Dec. 13.-The closing scenes in the Sturla trial were witnessed to-day by an assemblage of men and women that literally packed the spacious court room. At ten o'clock A. L. Trudel resumed his argument for the defense and spoke for an hour and a half. He reviewed the evidence of the med ical experts at length and argued that while five eminent physicians had testified that the defendant WAS insane, the experts of the prosecution had only contradicted them- selves. Tn closing he asked the jury not for sympathy, but for iron handed justice. Let them consider the strength of the man and tue frailty of the woman. They could say she was insane when she fired the shot and insane now, insane then and sane now. If they found her guilty he asked them to make it guilty of murder ill the first degree with the death penalty, but if they thought this frail piece of humanity had suffered enough, had endured enough, knowing her qualities of heart her virtues--for chastity was not the only virtue-he asked the jury to render such a verdict that when they looked their moth CTS, their sisters, their sweethearts in the face they would not sec the agoaized face of this unfortunate girl. An uproar of applause followed this appeal. One of the jurors overcome by the eloquence of Theresa's counsel retired in fanting condition. When quiet was restored State Attorney Mills be gan his closing address. He said as he stood under the social dome he heard million voices crying, 'sLet the law without fear or favor be honestly administered and execut- ed" The defense from the first had been characterized by trickery. The State, how over, had resorted to strategism, fraud or conoealment, but had devoted itself to an in. vestigation of the simple facts.

The Uses of a Mans Money.

The Uses of Mans Money.
 DEDHAM, Dec. 13.-William s. Slater of Webster, whose indorsement of the insolvent Royal o. Storrs' paper led to the enormous credit which the latter succeeded in estab- fishing, had a legal examination to day be- fore the assignees of his estate and that of Storrs, the object being to ascertain if he had any property besides that shown by his schedule of assets. He said his fathers es- tate was divided into four equal shares which
 went to his mother and her three children. Three hundred dollars in cash was distrib-
 uted. He had spent a great deal of money in supporting his family in the style their social position demanded, had been liberal in personal expenditures, lost considerable by loaning indorsements and small speculations, lost $2O, 900 in the New England nail compa ny. of Worcester, and had paid S4O, 900 of Storrs' paper. He admitted that previous to the failure he had by legal advice transfer red $50, 900 worth of railroad and other secu rites to his mother, but in justification there of he said that his mother really owned three fourths of the property, although the whole was in his namc, also that he was in debted to his mother to the value of the other l fourth The hearing occupied four hours and resulted in satisfying the representatives of the creditors that Slater is not financially shrewd and was easily plucked by selfish per sons. To day the help at the mill of R. o. Storrs were paid s$G,3OO. Six offers have been made for the mill and tenements It is expected that purchaser will be found with in sixty days.

He called Bowen to him and told him that Dickson had ample time to make any proposition he saw fit, but that witness would not talk with him. Mir. Cameron further testified that he never authorized Mir. Bowen to approach Mr. Dickson with a view of buying his vote. The cross examination of Brewster Cameron was in process when the court adjourned un- til to- omorrow. He will probably occupy the stand several days.
 Noros was the only witness before the Jeannette board to day. His testimony was very brief and confined particularly to state- ments made concerning the treatment of the naturalist Collins. He said that he treat ed as an officer and gentleman, and as such was respected by the crew. Noros said he had no knowledge of any disagreement be- tween MT Collins and any of the ships crew. There was no unnecessary delay in the re- treat from the Jeannette as far as he knew, and Captain De Long never assumed sickness for the purpose of delaying in March. The witness was here discharged. MT. Newcomb will be examined briefly to-uorrow. After him Long Sing, the Chinaman, will be called.
