be had day and night by any one who
wanted it. For the purpose OF ''elevat-
ing the morals OF the people" he took to
dragging female members OF the family |
around by the head, in full view of the
public streets; and performing the hula
kui, with all the modern Improvements, |
at official entertainments.
Upon one occasion he entered the |
saloon, where a number of Germans
were seated, called for glass of liquor,
raised it on high and said
"HERE's DAMNATIoS TO THE GERMAN
EMPEROR"
A hasty flight through the back door,
and the protecting darkness OF the night,
was all that prevented the final termina-
ton of his diplomatic career then and
there.
He finally succeeded in educating the
simple natives up to such high stan
dard OF independent government that a
number of the High chiefs including
KING MALIETOA, WROTE TO THE HAWAIIAN
GOVERNMENT ASKING FOR MIR.
BUsH's RECALL.
Mr.. Gibson, in accordance Herewith
sent letters dismissing him from office a
month prior to the change of admins

tigate matters there. Among other re-
ports on the subject Mr.. Webb wrote
from Apia to Mr.. Gibson on June 81,
1887:
81 have become aware that letters,
the contents of which must have given
great pain, went forward to you last
month, and that number of important
chiefs are sending by this mail a request
for new Hawaiian Minister to be sent
here. have also been spoken to by a
number of the white residents here who
are friends of Hawaii.
THINGS HAVE BEEN WORSE THAN DEEMEI
POSSIBLE.
On hearing, however, that was or
board the Kaimiloa Mr. Bush made {
desperate effort, and after passing
through that sort of bad time which
follows indulgence, has for fortnigh
been very temperate and more discreet
Ii letters do not come to hand with in
structions shall use my best endeavor
to get him off to Tonga promptly. HI
cannot recover himself here.
The majority of the chiefs are sobe
men and feel very much that the Ha
waiian chief should disgrace himself
Malietoa, very temperate and religion
man, sent for him twice to expostulat
with him, and on one occasion kept hin
at Afenga several days in order that h
might get straight. AS to that part c

BLUNDER,
