THURSDAY, NOVEMBER I, 1888.

"THE grating and scraping and rasp-
ing" sensation of which the Bulletin
complained as a result of our plain pre-
sentation of sound doctrine appears to
have extended to it's staff of regular and
semi-editorial correspondents. Their
sufferings are evidently severe, but we
hope they will prove salutary. We are
sorry for them, of course, but hardly see
how we can afford them any present re-
lief. To their perverted and depraved
tastes, the medicine doubtless seems
very bitter. But it is wholesome and, If
they only knew it, will do them lots OF
good. If on the other hand they will not
listen to good advice, but continue to
dance and howl like lot of bedlamites,
it will be our duty to continue " the
grating and scraping and rasping' pro-
cess entirely regardless of their feelings.

The ouestioner Questioned.

Mr.. EDITOR: The Liberal" CORE
spondent in last evenings Bulletin ex-
hibits his liberality mostly in the line OF
filings and innuendos for which he can
not furnish any foundation and slurs
upon somebody or other whom he dares
not name. To reply to anything SO in
definite would be an absurdity. [ wish
only to notice one point. He asks,
''Why was it that at the last convention
no one dared say word in favor of the
Government? ?" l retort by asking him
why it was that no one dared say word
against the Government? Some OF the
bitterest enemies of the Ministry were in
the convention, and one OF the bitterest
and ablest of them was a member of the
committee on resolutions. Here was a
fine chance. Why was it not made use
of? FACTS.

HILo has obtained very unenviable
nOtoriety for crimes Of violence. Sew
eral crimes have been committed and
the officers of justice, though they have
very strong evidence and are almost
morally certain who the parties are who
committed the whole series of crimes, or
rather we should say who originated and
planned them, have not yet sufficient
evidence that would satisfy a court
of Justice. There is no doubt that
the whole series of crimes have
been committed by Cinnamon, and
there is also further no doubt that the
Chinese societies here are very strong
and that a few terrorize over the mass of
Chinese. To break up those societies
should be the aim of the Hawaiian Gov
eminent. What is true of Hilo is true of
several other districts, only that the
number of plantations in the Hilo dis
trict and the large number of hands en-
ployed concentrate a large population
in a comparatively small sphere. The
alarm felt through Hilo and Puma on ac-
count of the recent events is very real
and the Indignation expressed by the
native population over the cold-blooded
mUrder of the old schOolmaster Kapahee
was very strong. The deputy Sheriff
did noE dare to take his prisoner to Hilo
from the lookup at Pohoiki overland, for
had he attempted it, he and his small
.(,ofx I
in alive. The prisoner was carried by
water, in whale boat, and even then a
crowd rushed down to the wharf at Hilo
eager TO lynch the man, and it took
strong force of police to get him safely in
Jail. Our readers will remember the cir
cumstances of the murder A native
schoolmaster named Kapahee was struck
down, in broad daylight, not quarter of
a mile from Captain Eldert's house, and
the body hidden in the bush. 1t is not
often that Hawaiians feel as strongly as
they have done on this occasion, and
their feelings are so very clearly ex-
pressed that for the present few Chinese,
we are informed, care to travel through
Puma. Meanwhile the inhabitants them
selves are very careful to go armed when
they move about from place to place.
And though we must say we object to
the carrying of firearms, still we think
there is some justification for people to
feel alarm when they have to travel
miles of bush, where habitations are
two to dozen miles apart, and where a
man can be knocked on the head and
his body hidden away twenty yards from
the road, and no one be bit the wiser
I'LL the unfortunate is missed" 1t was
TWO or three days before the actual fact
OF hapahee's murder was discovered
de was only missed"

P s. I had just finished the above
when l received the Bulletin containing
the Bishops rejoinder to my first letter.
/ see nothing therein to cause me to
modify what l have written. If the
Bishop finds any expressions which he
deems severe or harsh, l beg him to re-
member that my contention is not with
himself personally, but with the policy
of his church as seen from the Protestant
standpoint. do not accuse him of any
conscious desire to persecute anybody,
but the record of the Catholic church in
the way of enforcing its own ideas and
suppressing those of others by the strong
arm OF the civil power, when the same
has been at its disposal, is something
which no amount of special pleading can
get rid OF. 1t is one of those ugly facts
of history which will have to stand. It
is not necessary to go back to the records
OF medieval bigOtry, or to rake uD the
history of the Spanish Inquisition.
Things have happened in Italy, Spain
and other places within our own day.
which give at least some ground for the
suspicion that the more liberal policy of
the Catholic church in recent times is
due as much to lack of power as to change
of purpose. I hope the Bishop is as
heartily ashamed OF the excuses of his
own church as [ am of those too numer-
GUS instances in which Protestants have
its bad example.
| cannot undertake to discuss the doc
trinal points advanced by the Bishop in
his second letter, or whether and how
far belief therein is essential to saliva
ton. My quarrel is not with the theology
Of his church, bat with its politics.

Gathering.
The Y. NJ. @. A. reception to MIR. C.M.
Cooke, delegate to the Worlds Conven-
ton at Stockholm, was largely attended.
Mr.. F. J. Lowrey, President, was in the
chair. Messrs. T. R. Walker and L.
Nav gave a vocal duet as prelude.
Mr.. P. G. Jones, in an Introductory
speech, referred to the service done by
Mr.. Cooke in representing the Associa-
ton at his own expense on the other side
of the globe.
Mr.. Cooke described the route he had
travelled, besides giving copious informa-
ton regarding the convention. He was
accredited from the Chinese and Japan
csc local associations as we'll as from this
parent organization of English-speaking
people. King Oscar had contributed to-
ward the reception of the worlds dele
gates.
Mr.. A. F. Cooke, who accompanied his
brother, also gave some of his impress
sions. A vote of thanks for the high
service rendered was moved by Mr.. I. L.
Walker, seconded by Chief Justice Judd,
and unanimously accorded the delegate.

The Hi1o Tax Appeals.

Mr.. EDITOR: In your issue of October
23d J. A. M. takes occasion to speak
disparagingly of the Tax Appeal Board
and the Tax Assessor. Perhaps a few
words on the other side may prove of
interest to your readers. During the
session of the Board a certain plantation
manager objected to being assessed 800
per acre on his four ton cane, stating
that such an assessment was more
than the plantation could stand. In the
crOss-examination conducted by our
Tax Assessor, the manager admitted
purchasing cane grown by Portuguese in
the immediate vicinity of his plantation,
paying $40 to $3.50 per acre. The case
was apparent to all. The manager would
be willing for the poor Portuguese, who
grows two or three acres, to be taxed for
the true value, and then cOolly request
the Government to permit the wealthy
plantation be let off on the payment OF
only one-half their proportion toward
the support of the general Government.
1t was quite natural the plantation man
ayers and their able counsel should feel
disguised and withdraw from the con-
test. Why should they not?

The Second District Radical COnventit
NOminates Two Candidates.

The Second District Radical Convention
Nominates Two Candidates.
The Republican Congressional Conven-
ton of the Second (Black) District met in
Weldon Thursday of last week. The most
prominent candidates for the nomination
were Lon j. Moore (white), of Craven,
and H. T. Cheatham (col J, of Vance. The
committee on credentials, in order to make
Cheatham nomination more certain, seat
ed the delegation from Edgecombe which
had been unseated at the State Conven
ton. This kicked up fuss in the Edge
combe crowd, and they broke up the con
vention, deposing the temporary chairman
from the chair. They then nominated
Geo. A. Mebane (col), of BERTHE, unani-
mously.
The Cneatham delegates, with the aid
of the Edgecombe delegates who had been
seated, afterwards reorganized and nomi-
mated H. P Cheatham (col.) of Vance.
JOS. J. Martin, of Edgecombe, was made
elector
This gives the Radicals in the second
district two candidates for Congress. The
convention, like all conventions in the
second district, was disgraceful and evi-
denced still further that whenever the ne
gro has a chance to give his own race pro
motion, white Radicals have to take the
cold shoulder. Two negroes were noml-
mated for COngress-a white man Is the
