As we said las, week the public is
indebted to Mr. Damon for stating the
kings side of the argument. And it
required some courage on his part to
write as he did in the teeth of public
opinion. But we consider Mr.. Damon
unjust to himself in declining at
least neglectlng re-state his posi-
tion SO that it shall not be misunder-
stood. Mr.. Damon's clear-headed-
ness as a man of business, and his
knowledge of both the principles Of law
and the outlines Of history, must teach
him the folly of sitting free and full
discussion Of every department land
every official of every Department. OF
government whenever may be ne
cessary. But Mr.. Damon-and in this
he has many supporters-believe that
the kings acts ought to be discussed in
a different tone, even in different
spirit, from that employed in discuss
ing other men. Mr. Damon believes
in studied courtesy towards the king,
as much IN the public prints as in the
interchange of official courtesies; and
he may very consistently think so with
out having any absurd ideas about
"the divinity that doth hedge king.
But certainly if Mr. Damon believed
merely what we think he believed he
should have said so clearly; and should
not have sent to press hastily pre-
pared letter-no matter how strongly
he may have felt,

sUAll ur Br DiscrssrDg

In the symposium Of citizens who
have been considering over their own
signatures the important question
Should, or Should Not the King be
Discussed" Mr.. s NJ Damons is so
far the only negative voice. 1t is true
that one newspaper has come to his
support its principal argument being
that the Magma Chaua incident in
English history is not sufficiently
good illustration to enforce the Bul.

But while we consider Mr.. Damon's
letter the manly utterance of gentle
man whom we believe, in the language
of the Bulletin, ito honestly differ in
opinion with us as to the proper course
to be pursued concerning this matter"
we disagree with him almost in toto,
whether his position is merely what we
have stated it to be, or what it has
been considered to be by others. We
do not believe that mere courteous dis
cussion of the kings acts, unaccom-
panied by strong denunciation, is going
to accomplish any thing in this clearly
outlined fight for good government.
Calm, cold, dispassionate, courteous
talk no longer jibes with popular opin-
ion. Men are thinking earnestly, are
talking outspoSenly and are feeling
deeply, The popular indignation no
longer contents itself with wishing the
king would reform and give us safe

stronger language than any Hawaiian
newspaper has ever uttered. II the

observation just what is being said by

granted, the Press will become,

Much has been and much may be
truthfully written in favor of Portuguese
immigration. The best that has been
said for it has been said in these
columns. But our support OF Portu-
guese immigration for plantation labor
was based upon the profitable cond'-
ton OF the sugar industry then existing.
There we're too many unmarried Lhl-
nese in the country for the counlrys
good The planters recognized this
fact and willingly paid more for Port
uguese than they had to pay for Chi
nese partly because good prices for
sugar enabled them to do so, and partly
because the general good OF the coun
try was considered OF the highest i'm
portance. With Portuguese laborers at
$roo a head and sugar at 81 so a ton,
the Portuguese immigration was desira-
BILE Tor population and may have been
profitable as labor. Now, with Japanese
at SIS per head and sugar at only 500
per ton, the latter immigration Is GER
tainly the more desirable, as labor,

Suicide Of a Murderer.

An Easton despatch OF the 22d, says ever
since Sabato d'Allessndro, the Italian, was
found guilty o. numbering Phillip Petrie
fears have been entertained that he would
commit suicide. Though he made one at
tempt and afterwards promised Father
Grsetzer not to take his life, the fear that
he would kill himself was justified to day
Shortly after one o'clock, when Warden
Reed opened the blind doors on Ssbatos
cell to give him his dinner, the body of the
murderer was fou nd on the floor, face
downwards. Examination proved thst life
was extinct and that Sabato had comm tilted
suicide. By some means, probably through
the prisoners IN the carpet department,
sabato had obtained a quantity OF carpet
chain aud made it ito a rope about a yard
long and a third of an inch thick. This he
had tied tn the unper portion of the grated
door ON his cell, having first fastened a
moose about his neck. lie had then thrown
his feet back, intending to choke himself 10
death. After hanging awhile the rope
broke, but the moose about his neck held
firm and strangulatioH followed. lie fell
IN his face and blood flowed from his nose.
A handkerchief was tied over bis mouth.
The deed has been done soon after noon for
at ~ O'Clock, when the deputy Warden
received Sabato's plate to get him his din
ner, he was in his usual mood. Both the
Warden and his deputy had talked with
the prisoner in the morning and they say
that they noticed nothing unusual in his
manner. The refusal OF the Board Of Par
dons to commute his death sentence L
imprisonment for life undoubtedly led t,
the crime. The prisoner had not been in
formed by counsel or officials Of the refusal
but three prisoners testified at the inques
that having read ofthe action OF the Board il

he said he would kill himself. To one h
