Every one is enquiring Who is Dare. confess
that did not know him myself, until he appeared
in his chair in the House, but then | have not
been in the country very long time. 1t is
rather hard on the kaHaaiItas, as you call themt
to have man in the cabinet whom they do no,
know even by sight.
Ny friend vavasour Brown took trip up to
Maui last week. While on the steamer he over
heard your friend Sir Claus talking OF the Minis
try. He reports him saying that had your
people said nothing about himself, he would have
turned Gibson out long ago, but as you have said
hard things about him (Claus) he was going to
keep Gibson there to spite you. Sakes, what
set you are to be sat on as You are, but you seem
to like IT.
KauIukou is a shrewd politician and 1 think,
pretty efficient deputy sheriff. Now, wonder if he
ever heard anything in Hilo about a rumor of de-
felt in the tax receipts amounting to about $1,000
/ would be real pleased, if there Is any truth IN
the rumor, to have Lot tell me truly all he knew
about it. Wouldn't you?
don't think that that old gentleman from Ko-
hala did quite right in resignlDg from the Finance
Committee am supported IN my opinion by the
appointment of George Richardson Ia Government

place. He should have staid on and helped Dickey.
Now the indefatigable Dickey will have to, prac-
tically, wrestle alone.
And, en- passant. may mention that the dear
George is having rather unquiet time of 1t ID
playing the part of Tantaus. Several official cups
have been, almost as good as rendered to him,
but some unforeseen circumstance has stepped
in and compels him to still remain, without his
thirst for office appeased.
Which reminds me, my dear Richardson, of the
old adage that, "Hope deferred maketh the heart
SICK" and if such is the case, do not run any
additional risk, of being stomach sick, by taking
that trip to Molokai.
By the way was it not Keau that raised that row
long ago about some of the papers calling him
"wiseacre''2 Of course, like OConnelPs fish,
woman twas the name that hustered him. Now
wonder if he believes the miracle of Balaams ass?

OF course you don't know that that dare devil
fellow from California is poet? But you would
if you had been with me in the lobby last Thurs
day when heard his baritone voice uttering these
lines
For all the ills beneath the
There is remedy or there Is none;
If one, find it;
If none, never mind it.

About that time the smell of "a mess of pottage'
must have tickled the ofactory nerves of the poet
do miss Paul Neumann. 1 have sat IN the
lobby crossegged. for hours, just for the sake of
hearing some of his sarcasms. And, when Paul
spoke, he generally said something; | now listen
in vain for-something.
The patey of the liquor and opium bills of last
session, the renowned linguist and artist, Llika-
lani, astonished the members of the Assembly the
other day by rising in his place and, in sentorian
tones demanding that, "a voice be heard in Homo
lulu" The eagle eye of the speaker being fixed
on the nervous messenger, that official supplied
what voice he could by Immediately kicking an

You bet there's something IN him, and he frequent

Dole, his left bower.
Dickey is a daisy for springing things, in tho

Don't you bother about those rumors, floating
about at present. relative to. the decapitation of
Soper, Dayton Trip and some lesser lights. The
changes will take place. but not all, nor now; the
sweet mahope is time enough for them. The
members of the House are not in very amiable
mood and it will not do to permit Santa Claus to
make any more presents, just now.
