one in which resort must be had to
scandalous and systematic lying, and
that this method seldom succeeds. We
have taken up every point made by the
Opposition and demonstrated its utter
falsity. The result rests with the people.
The independence of the country is not
safe in Opposition hands. 1t is honey
combed, as party, with disloyalty, and
would only use its influence and position
to break down the constitutional barriers
which stand between the country and
annexation to a foreign power. The
native voters understand this, and will
sustain the King and Constitution by
their votes, despite the golden shower
that has been fallen from the treasure
chests Of the Opposition.

1t may be all that ''Mr. Commune
Gated" says of it in the Evening Mag
pie" but why does he not ask the
responsible party to eradicate the pest.
The Government has no responsibility in
the matter, although in time doubtless
q local tax will be levied to pay
for destroying it, just as thistles are
eradicated in the Australian colonies,
and as the rabbit pest is now being
fought at the expenditure of millions OF
dollars ANNUALLY.

The Opposition says the national debt
is running the country, and that if it came
into Office the Government would pay it
off. We pointed out that this could only be
done by selling all public property and
Crown lands, or by imposing special
tax equivalent to F13 per capita of popu-
lation. Either plan would serve the
policy Of the Opposition, which is to
strip the natives of their land and so
destroy their political strength. To that
end the Opposition party has been
steadily working, in Office and out of
power, ever since the system of land
tenure was changed by Kamehameha
III. 1t has made very long strides
towards the accomplishment of its pur-
pose, and the only thing that stands
between the country and its final achieve
ment is the National party, led by the
Administration.

Gentlemen-In reply to your inquiry con-
ceruing the opening of the BurglarProOf
Chest iii the safe of the office of the Clerk of
the Supreme C0urt--now well known as
The Mccarthy Safe,
will say that I took charge of the office on
Wednesday, the 9th instant.
For some days previous, unsuccessful at
tempts had been made by various experts
to pick the lock. On Thursday, further
similar efforts were made with the same re-
suit by Mr.. Ensign and other noted experts
ALL OF WHOM FINALLY DECLARED
THAT THE LOCK COULD NOT BE
PICKED, and that the safe must be opened
by force.
On Friday employed the expert of one
of your competitors, who did faithful and
honest work, for that purpose.
On Saturday morning work was begun,
and this morning Wednesday,, FOUR
DAYS AFTER. the expert succeeded in
drilling through the door and opening the
safe.
consider it was an extraordinary severe
test, much beyond what burglar could
possibly employ under any circumstances,
and can assure it has inspired me with the
highest confidence in the security of your
Burglar-Proof Safes, AND THAT YOUR
LOCKS ARE PICK-PROOF AGAINST
THE BEST EXPERTS.
After working for some hours on the lock,
one expert said that he had found that
was one letter, and another that was one.
On examination, neither Of these letters APP
peared in the com bination. Yours, truly,

And this reminds us of the absurdly
illogical position of the Opposition IN
reference to. future borrowing. The
voters are told in one breath that the
country has gone to the very brink OF
bankruptcy that the Administration
has ruined its credit at home and abroad !;
and that its expulsion from Office is the
only escape from kunuiakeaing by
Twelve per cent" In the next breath
the voters are told that if the National
ticket succeeds, the Government will
certainly borrow ten millions dollars.
Both statements cannot be true. If the
credit of the Government is so good thai
il can borrow ten million dollars, it must
he untrue that the country is in bank
rupt condition. AS u matter OF fact, the
credit of the country never was so GOOD
"a it is under this Administration. 1t
had run very. low down under former
Administrations but thanks to the
public spirit and intelligence OF the
presest Government, public credit has
been rehabitated.

OF course Mr.. Paris had no idea of the
mischief he was doing when he ignor-
antly assumed that 'lantana" would
make useful hedge plant. But that does
not alter the fact that he introduced
''this most dangerous plant into Kona
that fills our mountains and valleys, and
j., like leprosy, curse to the country. d"
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1886-01-28

is, like leprosy, curse to the country"
It is a curious coincidence also that
''lantanao was introduced into Oahu by
another equally well-meaning but mis-
taken gentleman of the Opposition per
suasion, who would button up his
breeches pocket tight if any one sug-
gested that he should bear the cost OF
Graduating it. I'VE mention these his
torie points toshow that the Opposition,
finding nothing that can be truthfully
charged against the Government, has
put out drag net to catch the mistakes,
malfeasances and errors OF its own friends
for the purpose of saddling them III
whole or in part on the Gibson Admins
tration. If "Mr. Communicated" pays
for eradicating an acre of well-established
''lantana," he will probably conclude
that ten million loan would not be too
much for the whole job. Something
ultimately must be done to get rid of the
pest or it will reduce the value OF land
fifty per cent at low estimate.

On motion of Mr.. G. n. Ealer, it was
resolved that the Board unanimously
protest against the appartionment of

out of the funds of 1885, because they
consider the same erroneous and unjust
in this, to-wit that the number OF edu
cable youths between six and eighteen
years is reduced according to said ap-
portiOnment between three and four
thousand in number, when it is a well
known fact that the population of the
parish has continually increased since
1890.
Wherefore, they most respectfully
pray for a subm iSsion to them by the

cation of the State of the causes of
said reduced apportionment and for
general relief.

the schoolmaster to do, and very
creditable thing for him to say. The
preacher simply retorted: All | ask

salary, or with no pay at all, till he can
get another job.
When You ask after the condition of
friend who is dangerously ill, and the
doctor remarks: lone should never
be too sanguine-life is uncertain,7 he
means thai the undertaken has got Il
dead-sure thing on your friend.
When you, without present income
or future prospects, ask the millionaire s
daughter to marry, you, and see says a:
No." she means No, and by Il very
large majority.
When the aristocratic swell, acci-
dently put under personal obligations

sunshine on an iceberg: My dear
fellow III be delighted to have you
dine at my house-come any day. he
means any day when he and his family
are out of town for the season.

around Washington for three months,
rushes up to you in the hotel reading
room with a telegram in his hand and
says: II find that my wife's health is

that he got left on the local postmaster

his friends and his credit at his board

And when you say: "Ah, I'm very
