By the bye when the sheriffs issue duplicate
certificates as ordered by Fred. Hayselden, how
many are going to be given to men who have not
paid their taxes or who have no right to vote.
The attitude of the Organ at present is very much
like that Of the valiant major in "a Widow Hunt"
at the Music Hail the other evening, when he got
"a his sword and good clothes and rushed up SO
srcely and ratified his weapons at the quiet gen.
tleman who had pulled his nose.
The Government is well represented in Mr. Am
ara who at Waiaiua the other day publicly stated
that be should be reelected, because he tried TO
Get a law passed last session whereby the poor ka
naka might be allowed TO 90 and help himself Gd
AbitRm from other peoples property. But, he
added sternly, " the measure was killed by that
selfish Opposition
The Roman Catholic church yard on Fort street
seems to be gathering place for the clans on Sun
dav From about eleven till into the afternoon is
given over to political talk. The Hon. j. L. IA
ulukou last Sunday performed his duty rs Sheriff
of Hawaii by occupying the rostrum from about
II N. till p. IN. shouting the praises of Gibson,
his master. As one of the disinterested bystanders
remarked, He hi Ia olelo, aka he paa ka noonoor
By and-by Mr.. Gibson will pray, oh Lord, save
me from my friends =
The Government organ has fairly lost its head,
and the fash of political conflict howls about
task masters and labor serfs in a manner equabto
the SanFrancisco Chronicle in its most ferocious
vein. The government are so mad that they can
not buy the tax receipts that they are willing 20
bring any charge against those vino are working
by fair and honest means.
The Government campaign is being vigorously
conducted. Evidences of this are abundant. The
road from Honolulu TO Eva and Waianae, and to
waialua, is lined with empty gin, brandy and
whisky bottles. These are what might be expected,
aud are really the only arguments possible for the
present Administration. No doubt these are
weiehty arguments and will have full effect.
1t Is on at that the Government party has the
aid and assistance in the coming campaign, of
some members Of the gentler sex. Too bad that
the cause IS so weak that 1t requires the support

success of platform whose planks, like the creed
of the "Yeiled Prophet are made but frail

We confess 10 a feeling of disappointment at
the beginning our courteous neighbor, the AdreI-
User has made in its threatened exposures of for
mer administrations. We, and in fact all of the
| Opposition who read the 4drcTfi-er, were on the
gVi rire for some sick developments, some awful
and secret misdeeds of former administrations
which the talented grave digger of the great
newspaper had succeeded IN unearthing, and
the publication of which should reflect undying
| lustre upon the whole concern,-editor, manager,
suggester, grave digger, banker, reporters, devil
and all. But TO be treated to rehaSh OF well
| known stale Qualifications of Mr.. w. NJ. Gibson
for his hired opposition to the Pearl River Scheme
and to q string of incoherent rawlings, evidently
] intended 10 place upon the shoulders of the OPP
position the responsibility of the failure of the
Board of Health to attend TO sanitary matters, Is
! less than We had a right to expect from an hon
orable newspaper. after Its very definite promises
Trot ont your exposures, neghbor; the time is
almost up aud do not forget that You are : great
