The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1856-1888, 1883-01-13

The Gazette of the 18th of last month said: 1T
is noticeable that the p. c. A. does not attempt
TO deny that the Slavery article quoted by
the S. F.. Chronicle was once a leading article in
the p. c. A. columns In this connection, we
clip the following from the S. F. Merchant. feel
ing confident that the 6a-ette will freely endorse
the sentiment expressed in the closing para
graph 1.-The Chronicle, amongst other slurs on
the Islands, has quoted a paragraph from the
HarGiiaH Gazette, but omits the context. We
could as easily pick isolated paragraphs from
American papers to show that the United States
was the most immoral, vicious, and worst gov
verned country in the world. The mere fact Of
the publication of such an item in Hawaiian
papers proves that the press there, as here, is
always on hand when abuses are to be remedied
or anything like oppression is to be denounced
The same paper, commenting upon some
Chronicle editorial squibs regarding an interview
between the editor of the Boston Herald and w.
Irwin of the firm of W. G.. Irwin and Co., of
Honolulu, says 1.-The 1ntervrew was sought
by the Herald and not by Mr.. Irwin, though the
Chronicle intimated n few days ago that Mr..
Irwin was running around Eastern newspaper
offices. The truth is, Mr.. Irwin made a short
trip East purely on pleasure. But the Chronicle
is advocating a bad cause, and in every possible
way has tried to back up its arguments by mis-
representations and falsehoods. The report in
the Herald is intended to be a fair one. but of
course contains some slight errors and some
additions, which the Imagination of IA pr~acticed
journalist supplied. All the interviews which
Mr.. irwin had with Eastern editors or reporters
were unsought on his part.
Mr.. Irwin spoke the truth when he said the climate
was not eneryating to any person accustomed to
the temperate zone. OF course a Norwegian, used
to severe weather, may miss his accustomed long
winter of ice and snow. But a climate cannot be
enervating in which the thermometer ranges be-
tween 60 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit, and in which
the trade winds blow all the year round. 1t is no
more enervating than semi-tropic California Valley,
and not nearly so much as one California valley
San Joaquin-with its hot northers. The charge
of manufacturing public opinion on false premises
does not rest on Mr.. Irwin or the Island planters,
but on the Chronicle itself. Indeed, Eastern
editors were kind enough to tell Mr.. Irwin that
they had not hitherto been properly informed on
matters connected with Hawaii, the treaty, and
the working of reciprocity

THE GIFTS REJECTED.

The following lines were composed by a planters
servant on Kauai last Christmas, and offered by
him as an apology for refusing to accept a lady's
gift:
Once on a time-as story tellers say
There were lovers, that seemed in day dreams;
SequesteredSn bowers festooned with gay
And fragrant blossoms, which the mellow beams
OF sunset flooded with their mystic streams
Of blended gold, yermillion pink and blue.
Both were young, and one was radiant with CLEANS
OF budding beauty in its fairest hue,
On noble birth enshrined, without a flaw to rue.
The youth sprang from a humber plebeian sire,
Who raised himself from poverty to power,
And died endeavoring vainly to reach higher
From his own broad and self-buiIt Babel tower;
Where he had baffied all the storms that lower
Adversely DER a we'll won battle field,
When vanquished foes return a leaden shower,
Ere they abandon those last works, that shield
Life, fortune, hope and fate of heroes forced to
yield.
The son, surviving, urged by no sternwants,
Had finished leisurely his school career,
And lapsed into Iuxuriant social haunts,
Where elegance and fattery appear
To scatter sunshine and suppress a tear,
That it may burn the deeper all unseen.
The first among his proud companions here,
Don X, a Spanish nobleman, did feign
The most devoted heart and most respectful mein.
That Grandee's daughter, too, with all the art
OF complicated destinations, strove
To win the rustic's fortune through his heart,
Succeeding all so we'll, in what she wove
From smiles and gifts and counterfieted love,
That when, anon, financial ruin came
On her paternal roof, and she would move
Him to avert with all his means the same,
He granted her appeal in friendships sacred name.
They were betrothed, and he deluded tenderIy
Until the spell was broken prematurely,
And love, that turns to hate when nourished
slenderly,
By most unIucky chance heard her demureIy
Declaring to her mother, she most surely
Adored another with untold affection,
And sold herself for golden glitter purely,
While the maternal lips taught no correction,
But only prayed the secret flame might blaze with
out detection.
Enough-'twas hard, but love. that might have
bound
His life ever in one delightful fold,
Then fed nor e'er again can the dear sound
OF praise excite warm feelings as of old,
For they are dead and, till his hands are cold,
And grasp the final chilling gift Of death.
Perchance he never shall again Mold
On presents, which Of yore had tongues and breath,
Aside from their intrinsic value, saying
81 We are a token of regard
The while they only were betraying
The wilfuI youth and humble bard.
Your SERVANT.

Mr.. EDIToR,-rte party who wrote to one of
the weeklics from Wailuku last week, to the
effect that the new sidewalk being laid from the
Post Office down the main street to Girvin's
store, sis likely to be as great a farce as any part
Of the proceedings of the present Ministry is as
Singular in his opinion as in this matter as he is
ungrammatical in his expression OF it. The par
ticular 81 proceeding +" that he finds fault with,
i.e., the construction OF this sidewalk, is very
highly approved of by the people of Wailuku,
and as the work will be completed about the
time you get this note, | cannot think there has
been any unnecessary delay in it's completion.
learn that Mr.. Girvin, alais - Lahaina, !" intends
to have a nicely planed board laid in the middle
of the walk from his store to his residence, which
will be very nice. HA-HA.

A Card to the Public.

A certain statement emanating from CnAs.J .FrsHEL
in his advertisement in some Of our native papers
appeared in last weeks issues, wherein he used my
name without my authority, stating 10 the public
that he can undersell nae, and soliciting patronage
in this cunning and scheming way. His trade ~
fast falling off, from both the foreign and native
population. on account Of the high prices that he
charges for his old and withered stock, / desire to
warn the public Of his cunningness, and TO con-
vince all that my Goods are always marked down
to Bedrock Prices, and I cannot be undersoId by
said Fishel; besides, my Goods are always new and
fresh. Respectfully, A. NJ. MELLIs.

Determined to UnderselI.
NOTICE.

Notwithstanding the impudent, ignorant, and
audacious notice published in your paper by A. M.
Mellis regarding his personal attack on me, and
his ability to sell his goods at bedrock prices, and
other similar fabricatious matter, / would say that
his TRADE by this method TO deceive the public has
long since bson fully played out and even the
native element has been too often deceived by over
charges, and goods palmed off on them entirely
adverse to what he represented them to be.
Compare for one moment my large, varied, ana
splendid stock in my fancy and dry goods depart
ments with the miniature assortment OF A. M.
Mellis. When / dissolved partnership with Nellie,
some two years ago, the store then was no larger
than his is now but since that time / have in
creased my store four times its former size, and
even now my stock is too large for the store. Ia
it any wonder that 1 undersell Mellis II Is not
the slightest difficulty for me 10 sell my goods in
any department from % to so per cent. lower than
him, and 1 have plain and conclusive facts to
prove the assertion, all Of which Mellis knows az
well as the public, but like some natures whom
difficulty arises-trade falling off, ETC., he risks his
last chance TO redeem himself by publishing A
sickly card TO mislead the public. Tho actuaI
drawback TO A. VI. MeIlis as a business man IL M
non-acquaintance with the Eastern and Fnpliah
manufacturing houses which sets him all at seas
when buying as he does Indirectly paving high
prices through commission agencies and finding
my prices so far below his. 1t would be
simply ridiculous for me to compare my choice,
we'll selected, and varied stock. importing az i do
directly from the manufactures abroad, with the
fow lines Of remnants Of A. NJ. MelIis' small stock,
If one-third Of my stock Of dry and fancy goods
were placed in A. NJ. Mellis' store, there would NOT
be sufficient space left to hang a miniature portrait
of the proprietor, A. NJ. Mellis. / would advise
Mr.. Mellis TO start ont in the new year with fair
dealings and honest approximations and apply
himself TO his business instead OF classifying his
neighbor and making indiscreet assertions,
which eventually will terminate sadly against
him. To be jealous, as Mellis has SO conspicu-
ously shown himself to be by his card, simply
because my well-regulated prices and goods are
drawing OFF his small custom is a sad omen indeed
to Mr.. Mellis, but if he cannot compete with me in
goods and low prices he must'sink into oblivion, az
time and tide waits for no man in this enlightoned
age.
Believing, from the kind and generous patronage
bestowed upon me, and feeling fully assured that
my word is TO be relied upon when / say / can nm
tersell Mellis, that / always have and always will,
/ remain, respectfully,
