The putting in the name of Others is merely
a tricky falsehood Of Gibson, by which he
seeks to make the work of the people of no
effect. What he says is false, for at all times

To his second question, "Can a suitable
Hawaiian cabinet be formed il the present one
is abolished?' There is no trouble about that:
it can be done. Does Gibson fancy that he is

the foreigners so greatly oppose him3 They
see and hear that he is one of the ministers
that resist the wish of the people; and he
breeds greater disgust in them than any of his
fellows. Yet with shameless efirontery he per.

spues him out; the people of his own color

not in this list they probably receive weekly
wages from him at his printing establishment.
