/ we declared that a good healthy
liberal-minded opposition was a most
valuable adjunct to good government.
We deplOred the personal nature of
the contest, and showed how much
more effective fight would be made
were the acts of the Ministry, and
not the Ministers, assailed. But
tered certain members of that party,
egged on by gentlemen as malignant
as themselves, from neglecting the
true issues of the work before them
in their efforts to pillory one man.
And this is the result. At almost
the last day of the session the fasco
is crowned with an abortive effort at
political filibustering, for the tactics
of thursdays proceeding come under
that head. Ring down the curtain,
for we have seen the last act. Turn
the electric light on the closing tab
leau, and keep the boys in the gallery
from making noise. Let the
audience feel about for their UNI mbrella
checks, for the play is over, and they
will go out in the rain directly. 1t
began as tragedy, and the first
scene was ushered in amid gloom and
thunder. It ended as farce, though
the materials for the tragic were
there, but the actors were deficient
in their parts. Put out the lights,
call the gentlemen's carriages, shove
the squeaking little Bulletin (which
acted as the orchestra) into its green
baize bag, and let us thank the Lord
that we have received our moneys
worth.

BACKING DOWN.

NJ. Ferry's demand that China pay
an indemnity of $5,OOO,OOO for the
attack on French troops:at Langson,
was outrageous. The attack was un-
authorized by the Chinese Govern
ment. which offered prompt apology
and reasonable indemnity. But the
French Premier affected the greatest
indignation in the presence of the
Chinese Embassadsr in Paris, almost
refused to listen to any explanation,
and talked as though nothing short
of the annexation of the whole celes-
tial empire would appease France.
Evidently he had forgotten the
time when julius Fevre and Adolph
Thiers pleaded for mercy at the hands
of Bismarck when the German armies
were encamped within the walls of
Paris. Although Bismarck had a
thousandfold better reason for exact
ing the pound of flesh than M. Ferry,
he showed an infinitely better temper,
more courtesy, and more generosity
and fOrbearance. France had been
the aggressor. The great statesman
only proposed to punish her and
make her pay fhe cost of the war. In
this case China is no aggressor. She
is the victim of French ambition, and
because she cannot help herself in
the Tonquin matter, M. Ferry pro-
posed to take advantage of her weak
ness. pared with his demands,
those of Germany were the prompt
ings of benevolent heart.
Fortunately for China, however.
still more fortunately for the reputa-
tion of France, M. Ferry has decided
to be less exacting. lie will not de-
clare war or require the annexation
Of the Chinese empire he will be
satisfied with the payment of an in
demnity of S8OO,OO0. This smacks
of reason. While the sum
demanded is more than enough to
recoup France. China will probably
be quite willing to pay it. She has
no ambition to become involved in
war with France, and to avoid it, she
will be willing to submit to unfair
ness.

and dumping into it all their malign-
ity, could make uO better reply, we
would not employ them To defend a

can adduce no stronger arguments
against the course of this sour-brained
publication than Mr.. Damon has of
ferred. "Were 1 alone," he says, Gin

address you on this subject, but feel

zens of all nationalities, who would,

attempts to impeach the honor of the
Sovereign"
But the impeachment of the honor
of His Majesty from such D source is q
compliment. Praise and commenda-
tion would indicate that the Sover-
eign of these islands and the Bulletin
syndicate are harmonious on some
points, and this supposition would be
the most grievous and objectionable
insult that could be offered His
Majesty.

AMATEUR DOCTORS.

This community is sadly given to
the vice of amateur doctoring. A
man afflicted with boil or the prick
ly heat, or any other disorder, no
sooner mentions it to his friends
than he is surrounded by a crowd
of amateur medical advisers. It
is curious when one comes to
think of it, that people should
be so exceedingly ready to set
about the remedy of anything amiss
in the system, either of themselves
or those about them. If mans
kitchen clock wheeZes and whirrs "a
little, and presently begins to betray
q difficulty in getting along, he will
admit at once that he does cot know
what is the matter with the thing,
and will have the cl0ckmaker ordered
in to attend to it. If his watch gets Il
little slow, and does not seem to be
amenable to the regulator, he will not
even run the risk of touching it here
and there with u little sweet oil; or if
his piano gets out tune III only u uote
or two, he does no dream CT Investing
in tuning hammer and putting it in
order himself. He does not under
stand the business, he will tell you,
and might do more harm than good.
But if his own internal mechanism
begins to wheeze little, and to show
symptoms of running down, if he
himself feels somehow little out of
tune, he will go to his friends and
they will tell him all about it. Ply
sicians are often charged with killing
many of their patients, but it is
doubtful if they kill more than anna
teur doctors.

DROP THE CURTAIN.

The Opposition gave its final wobble
Thursday morning, and then expired.
It was fitting close to its political
history, an appropriate ending to a
career where so much had been at
tempted and nothing accomplished.
The Indemnity Bill was the special
order of the day, but up to 1890 there
was not a quorum present. The gem
tlemen of the Opposition had con-
cluded to stay away with the honor
able exceptions of Mobiles G.. r. Bishop,
J. Mott Smith, and Representatives
Richardson and Sanford 3. Dole,
who evidently did not coincide
with the other gentlemen of their
party in the belief that the public
business should be neglected because
the Indemnity Bill was before the
House. They took their seats, and
spoke and voted against the bill. The
amendment introduced by j. Mott
Smith was unanimously accepted,
and the Indemnity Bill was passed.
Now, if the memb berS of the OppO-
sition party had mustered and regis
tered their votes against this bill, we
are sure the gentlemen whose opinions
they represent in this community
would have had much more respect
for them. We cannot imagine what
they hoped to accomplish by neglect
ing their duties to the people. 1t
was, to lay the least, a childish, sulky
way of displaying their animus. 1t
placed them in an absurd light, and
but confirmed the generally enter
tanned opinion that their fight from
the beginning to the close was badly
managed.
The gentlemen who would not con-
sent to go on record as parties To
Thursdays childish attempt, Messrs.
Bishop, Dole, Mott Smith and Rich
ardson, are entitled to all credit for
their firmness and good sense.
Throughout the session Mr.. Doie's
speeches have been the most mOder-
ate and most logical of any delivered
by the active members of the Oppo-
sition. But among that class were
lew nOt-heaueu, NloleHl, pllCel ih0HA
bers who never got on their feet with
out injury to the cause their advocacy
finally ruined. They called to their
aid n newspaper, into which every
thing too malignant for the House
was infused; they spoke through this
paper; it was the echo of their senti-
ments; it was brimful every evening
of the most biting personalities; I
the conservative members of their |
party deprecated the indecency of
this warfare, but there was no stem |
ming the torrent of vituperation and |
scandal. The ADVERTISER was in !
full sympathy with the Opposition
at the start. Over and over again |

PERNICIOUS FOREIGNERS .

A recent letter from Mexico con-
| tains the following: ''Mr. 2. M. San
vale, editor of French paper called
Trait o. Union, having, in several is
| sues of that paper, made insulting re-
marks about the country and the
President of the Republic, ETC., was,
as per Article 33 of the Mexican Con-
stitution, expelled from the country
as 'pernicious foreigner He was
| taken a prisoner, and sent as such to
| the fort at Vera Cruz, where he was
kept in close confinement until the
sailing of the American steamer for
New York, with instructions never
TO return to Mexico.n
The necessity of dealing with the
''pernicious foreigner seems to have
been overlooked by King Kameha-
meha V and his councillors. True
ways and means have been found to
rid the country of such people. The
thing was easy and not uncommon in
the old days of a despotic monarchy,
ruling under the influence of such
modified form has descended
almost to our own day. Only of late
years it has been necessary to lay
traps for the unwary feet of such for
eigners as become 'pernicious' in the
eyes of influential people, such as har-
assing them with prosecutions on
trumped-up charges and so forth. The
old methods are, however, pretty
nearly played out, and it might be
well if the Assembly used the leisure
which the King has afforded it to
frame constitutional amendment,
modelled on Article So of the Constitu-
tiou Of Mexico. We mention this in
the interests of the Independent
party, who tell US they are sure to
come into power before many years
are past. When that time arrives
they will want to get rid of some of
the ''pernicious Foreigners" who are
plaguing them at present, and it will
be well for their conscience if these
modern Binghams should have an
''ArticIe 33'' available, instead of
having to resort to crooked ways for
the accomplishment of their objects, |
and, after all, the chagrin of failure |
added to their remorse.
1t is not probable that If we had |
this Mexican law here any foreigner |
would be likely to find himself in Mr.. |
position for the offense of |
insulting remarks about the !
country and the King. In this highly I
developed community, it is reserved |
to the chickens Matched in the land |
to busy themselves with the fouling
Of the nest. @~,z

THE KING AND THE NEWSPAPERS

Mr.. S. M. DAMON has written a
letter to the Bulletin, which appeared
in the columns of that journal last
Friday. Mr.. Damon's theme was
the attitude af the Bulletin towards
the King, and the propriety of dis
cussing His Majesty in that or any
other newspaper. He SAYS
Hawaiian etiquette, and the GUS
toms of all mOnarchical states, forbid
that the chief of the state should en-
ter the newspaper arena and defend
his reputation and his honor, which
you so ruthlessly assail.
Another answer might be, that to
discuss His Majesty's supposed acts in
only to throw slur upon him pub
Iicly, bat it reacts by casting a last
ing stain upon the people"
We perfectly and sincerely agree
with Mr.. Damon. We like the tone
of his letter, which is manly, logical
and straightforward. He places him
self on neither one side or the other,
but quietly and forcibly points out the
error of which the journal he adj
dresses IS guilty. He might have
added that because the Chief of the
State is forbidden to enter the news
paper arena, to attack him is coward
ly. But Mr.. Damon, as q Hawaiian
subject, simply criticises the act of
the newspaper without condemuing
the sentiment, though the Inference
of the condemnation is plain enough.
Again, he says -
Gone more answer TO your ques-
ton, and this is Toes not your ques-
ton, and especially what follows your
question. simply prove that the party
to which you belong has fursaken
their principles. and the principles
which guide all countries with con-
stitutional basis, when it asserts that
the question of responsibility can be
transferred from the representatives
of the people and the Ministers of the
Crown, to the throne? 1t would seem
that you are willing to yield the very
essence of liberal ideas"
Mr.. Damon gets to the very kernel
of the argument when he speaks of
the attempt to transfer the response
bility from the Representatives and
the Ministers to the throne. Now,
let us see what the Bulletin has in re-
ply to this dignified and convincing
argument. Magma Charta, that an
cient apology for all sorts of indecency
which has been handed down to anti |
newspapers from time |
If the syndicate of |
lawyers, the bright glowing legal in
tellects which stands behind this nasty |

A MELANCHOLY RECORD.

When, some years hence. the mem
ber> of the present Opposition are
seated in their i0,iois, and their chill
dren are gambolling about their
knees, those worthy gentlemen
will tell their offspring to amuse
themselves by firing out cabinet.
With that concession of age to child
hood, which is so touching and
graceful, they will relate to them the
history of the Legislature of 'S4. The
sportive little ones will begin by fix
ing up with their blocks Finance
Committee report. After citimg their
playfeilows, who may be selected to
represent the cabinet, to appear be-
foe them to answer for a misappro-
priation of chocolate creams, they
will move resolution of want of
confidence, which will be voted down,
the cabinet voting for themselves,
and they will then adjourn for "a grand
torchlight procession. But, jesting
apart, what n sad bungle the Opposi-
ton has made Of a good fight. All its
self-glOrification cannot obscure this
fact. It's triumphs are purely imagi-
nary. 1t claims to have slaughtered
bank bill, which one Of its promi-
nent members introduced, and which
both parties sat on with the only feel
ing of unanimity exhibited during
the session. 1t assumed that a sensi-
bic and magnanimous message from
theKing was slap at the Cabinet, and
it turned out with blazing torches and
fooled itself most magnificently. We
do not question the honesty of its in
tentiOns, nor do we doubt that some
of its members acted from pure con-
conuiotions. But it all went wrong,
and after the first month got an at
tack of the dry rot which eat out all
its energy.
Even yesterday Mr.. w. o. Smith
adopted his old tactics of attacking
His Majesty. This was totally un-.
called for, and in decidedly bad taste.
1t seems that when some of the
orators of that faction grow tired Of
jabbing away at everything apper-
tanning to the Government, they CON-
centrate their abuse on its head,
whose impartiality in the entire
must be unquestioned. We
have asked before what can they hope
to gain by this policy? What have
they gained by it, what could any
party gain by assailing the indi-
vidual in whom the power of acced-
ing to their desire is vested? The
record of their achievements is the
best answer. They have accomplished
nothing, they have achieved nothing,
and fighting with such principles
personal aninosity para
mount TO verything-their record
could wear no other complexion than
hat Of disaster and defeat.

CAPTAIN II. w. MIST has assumed
editorial charge of the Hdwniidn,
succeeding Mr.. d. w. G.. Nesfield,
who has accepted charge of the local
department Of the ADVERTISER "a
position he is eminentiy well qualified
to fill. However, Mr.. Nesfield is too
well known by his work in this COM
munity to need any praise from US.
Mr.. Brown, whom Mr.. Nesfield sue
ceeds, will act as head book-keeper
and general business manager Of the
ADVERTISER. This is about all the
newspaper gossip we know, though
there is a rumor that we are shortly
to have weekly illustrated journal
which will take the vilest liberties
with the names and pursuits of the
good business people of this COM
munity, and keep the lawyers busy
with libel suits.
THE Gazette made a weak attempt
last week to revive the Gordon con-
troversy. No use VIC must find out
new. Gordon has been
worn threadbare, and the ADvER-
TIsER has, of course, triumphed. The
very latest European kilograms prove
that our position was perfectly correct
from the start.
