THAT LEIIER.

EDITOR BULLETIN What q nice
sweet letter Willie does write on the
Chinese question to be sure. But a
large number of this community
more especially some of the Anti
Chinese league would liked it better
if he had explained why he sailed
away in such n hurry just before
the third reading of the bill after
having fought so nobly TO get it to
that point. He was not in poor
health, none of his friends were at
the point of death, he did not go to
take unto himself a wife Cor if he
did is slow about it) nor was he in
such a hurry to settle down to work
in California as he says he has just
taken out a llcence and is going to
practice, and if we ask the China
men why lie left so quickly they
only put on that smile which is
"childlike and bland" and say "no
sabe."
William makes one very truthful
stateh.e .ent in his letter when he SAYS
Thurston is man without a party
behind him, and it strikes me when
Willie gets back here he will find
himself in the same hole, and think
he recognizes this fact and wishes to
pave his way into the good graces
of the anti-missionary party whom
he stJ les as "the boys" but it won't
work William unless you wish TO
come in with "the boys" in your
proper place that is near the tail
end of the procession as we don't
want you for leader just now till
we are sure your repentance is sim
cere. Bless you my dear boy there

part of those interested in cheap
labor than conscientious scruples,
that defeated necessary legislation
on that point, and made an irrepar-
able breach among the whites so
that nothing seems now TO remain
but to stand by and see them fight
it out to the finish. Some of us
have done the best we could to pre-
vent it, but that is past now. never
saw anything weaker, even in the
Gazette" than its editorial at the
close of the Legislative Session
when it said complacently "now let
us have peace"; crying peace,
peace, when there is none. Things
were fast verging to bitterness
when was there. 1t certainly can
not be any better now. am sorry
Thurston remained in the Ministry
after the amendment was defeated.
If the breach on that Chinese ques-
tion could have been avoided, there
would have been a party back of
Thurston. Now he stands between
two parties, neither of which can
be relied upon to support mm.
Queen street does not like his Chi
nese views, but there are many
others they would like less. He
serves them for foil. The other
side-"the boys"-do not like what
have been called his "mugwump"
ideas. He is not enough of a party
man to keep party support. He
could get into bee with Queen street
if he would give up certain ideas,
especially his Chinese views. This
do not believe lie will ever do. l
certainly hope not, for l have many
of the same political beliefs that g
has and hope he will stick to them,
supporters or no supporters. He Is
man to-day without party, though
he has great many political adj
hercnts, but not of the class that
are needed for successful politics.
when he was deserted ty the Legis-
lature on the Chinese question, he
should have declined to serve as q
foil between them and something
they dislike more.
| do not care to return to the
Islands at present, and therefore
this week took out a license to p,ac-
tice here; but this does not mean
desertion and whenever / feel that

REPLY TO w. A. KINNEY.

EDITOR BULLETIN:-I have. read
with interest Mr.. William A. Kin
ney's letter in your edition of yes
terday. which expresses with clear
ness and force his views Of the policy
which this country ought to follow
concerning Chinese. The letter
leaves no room to doubt the sin
cerity of his convictions, and his be-
lief in the Importance of securing
such legislation as will remove com
petition between white wage earners
Chinese, for such competition and
means, as he thinks, the gradual
absorption by Chinese of manual
occupations which otherwise would
sustain an efficient, decent, self
supporting white population. Mr..
Kinney has the courage of his con-
victions to an admirable extent. He
would have made magnificent
leader in a cavalry charge. The
purity of his motives in this matter
as in all the conduct of his life is,
in my opinion, not open to doubt.
He joins to the enthusiasm of youth,
the keenness of perception, aud the
habit of acute analysis, which usu-
ally grow from experience only.
But while admiring the brilliancy
with which he discusses this ques-
tion of national policy, and the. un-
relenting, unhesitating and even re-
morseless vigor with which he de-
ducts from his premises the conclu-
sion that we must and shall legis-
late this country into a white mans
country, l think that he uncon-
sciously omits to consider facts and
conditions, which cannot safely be
ignored, and which when duly
weighed, will cause thoughtful men
to decline to accept his statement
as conclusive.
However magnificent this attack
on Queen street, and the wealth
producing interests of the country,
as well as on the Chinese, it is not,
as it seems to me, either statesman
ship or common sense.
There are enough Chinese here
now who are engaged in mercantile
pursuits and as skilled laborers, to
do large part of the retail trade
and TO furnish large part of the
mechanical labor of the country if
the white population see fit to en-
ploy them. Does anyone think of
any method of getting them out of
the country, or of debarring them
from any honest industry? If the
Chinese now here can be excluded
from trade and mechanical work,
how about the cheap work and
prices of Portuguese and japanese
and the low wages of the large class
of skilled native mechanics who are
coming on? Can the white wage
Garner or trader keep down this kind
of competition? And yet if he
cannot do so, the exclusion of
Chinese immigration except for
agricultural purposes, would be
futile,
No one can more earnestly
than myself desire the sue
cess of honest, intelligent, skilled
labor. A serious objection to life
in Hawaii or anywhere else, is the
presence of large degraded popu-
lation to whom menual labor is
mainly gwen up, so as to cause
young men and women to look upon
it with aversion, if not with con-
tempt. No country, in my opinion,
is desirable as residence in which
such labor is not regarded as honor
able and dignifed. l look forward
with pleasure TO the results of the

to assist such veterans as need help,
and extend needful aid to their
