1S1. 80 for a contingent fund, making a total Of
5000. The report Of the committee was received
and approved.
Hon. Mr.. Kaulukou gave notice of intention
to introduce a bill encouraging and maintaining
> street-car tramway in the city OF Honolulu.
Hon Dir. halua called the attention OF the
Assembly TO the appearance of an artlc !e IN the
Eisie and +. G. ADVERTISER copied from the
). +. -ArgORIut, and the writing of which had
been charged 10 a late Minister OF His AIajesty's
Government. He considered that the article
went beyond all proper bounds, and reflected
upon the editors of the papers who reproduced
1t. Mr.. Armstrong was the gentleman whom 1t
was iutimated had written the Objectionable
article, but the speaker stated that he had seen
a letter from Mr.. Armstrong denying any con-
nectIon with the article as written. Mr.. halua
thought that u paper that would publish such
an article must be IN accord with the ideas ex-
pressed. Considered that the President should
compel the editors OF the Eide and ADVERTISER
to explain.
HIS Ex. W. VI. Gibson said that he regretted
the publication, regretted the present discussion
and the explanation which would be necessary.
Although he exercised at present no control
over the columns OF the ADVERTISER or Etie, yet
having an interest III those papers lac deemed it
right and proper to make Il few remarks. He
said that on the first appearance IN this city of
the article III the .1rgOhGUt Il number OF people
had said to HIM unhesitating!y, that 1t was the
Inspiration, II not the actual production of the
late ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. The letter OF denial re-
ferred to vas received IN this city simultaneous
with the article, and thus, before any accusation
could he made, Mr.. Armstrong had denied hav-
ing written the article III question. Now he
would say to the Honorable gentlemen that some
time previously an article containing many SIM
liar statements TO those IN the A,gonaui had ap-
Feared in the Souhsra Uorkman. Il paper pub
lished and edited by a brother of Mr.. Arm
strcug's IN which one-half the adult HawaIians
are spoken OF rs lepers, &c. When that artj-
Gle III the southern HOrEIRqH appeared.
Mr.. w. y. Armstrong interviewed the editor OF
the Z. c. ADVERTISER and begged that the repro
duction of the article he stopped. Doubtful of
the action which thu editor might take, Mr..
Armstrong wrote to the speaker and begged his
intercession III having the publication o. the ar
ticle stopped, stating that the matter in the
Southern HOrkotdn WAS mere memoranda ana
notes which he had written i'll his journal and
had forwarded 10 his wife Tor only private perus-
al. If the article which appeared IN the Southern
DTOrEm1n over the signature OF w. y. Arm
strong was placed side by side with the Arsoaaut
article, it would bs seen that they were very sim
liar ia many points. The articles were repro
duced in the Daily 4. G.. ADAERIisEr: 70 show
that an article offensive tn HIS Majesty the King.
