Nor satisfied with an underhand at
tack on the Interior Department, the
Ad0eytisey Of yesterday takes occasion
to slur the entire management of the
Government. BY implication and an
unfair comparison of the useless trap
pings Of royalty, with the "air OF
Republican simplicity" the AdSs,fise'
goes to the length of indirectly censur-
ing the King; and, by logical innu-
endo, at least suggests that Republican
simplicity is preferable to our presen,
monarchial form of government. But
what is the pretext which the Ad0<rtise'
uses as justification of this general
abuse and unfair discrimination agains,
the internal economy of the King
dom ? Simply that apartments allotted
to the men who rattle the dry bones oi
the law, are not fixed up at a useless ex-
pense in the State style which doth
hedge Royalty forsooth Are not these
Judges paid their salaries in gold, and
housed from the fury Of the weather
while they dispense justice ? Could
they mete out the law with better
equity or add to the dignity of their
Judgeships if they we're clothed in fine
raiment and cushioned in rare satin,
than they now do, surrounded with
Republican simplicity, and protected
by the sacred majesty of TRUTH Does
the Adae,1isey dare insinuate that Mr..
Justice Preston has been placed in a
legal pig-stye which is "simply dis
graceful, and expect to go unscathed
and unrebuked by generous public,
who know Mr.. Preston and know the
facts of the case7 No thousand
times no We want the .AdSSyftsey to
understand, once and for all, that its
underhanded attack upon-the Govern
ment will not aid the fight it is making
against right and justice. But the
AdUe,hsey even goes so far as to in
sinuate that the Government is trying
to force the Judges ito furnish their
chambers in the Supreme Court de-
partment of the Government Build
ing" Now, this is another sample Of
the willful Misrepresentation of the
Government by the Adseytisey, whose
prejudice runs away with its judgment
Such reasoning is on a par with the
AdVs,7iSe,'s attempted defense of those
who are complaining of the roads
and bridges on the other Islands.
Now, the AdOet7kser knows better than
anybody else, as it has had the conf
dence of the Government before it be-
trayed the trust, that the reason the
Government has not fixed up the Court
Chambers is simply because there have
been no funds at disposal, after the
wants OF the King and the Administra-
ton we're supplied. Does the Ad0er-
hsey suppose for minute that the
Hawaiian people would allow the ex-
penses of royalty to be cut down in
order that the judiciary of this King
dom may loll supine in costly state :
Bah, AdSsyfisery you might as well
attempt to throw the blame of our
dilapidated roads and bridges upon
the Administration, when you well
know that as the road tax is insufficient
for even local requirements that the
blame rests upon the people for not
voting more aid to the Government
through the Legislature. We cannot
make out what has caused the Adaxy-
Hssy to turn so suddenly against the
Government, who are doing all that
they can, with their limited means,
to keep both the name and honor OF
Hawaii unblemished. Not satisfied
with parading our poverty the Adssr-
Gsey hints that change of the form Of
Government would remedy the whole
matter We wish to give the Adavy-
