The Daily bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Hawaii]) 1882-1895, 1891-05-08

Close examination Of your news
papers and interviews with visitors by
the Zealandia fail to furnish any JUS
LITIGATION for letter dated from Ho-
nolulu, published in the Evening Post
of this city April 2Sth, although the
opening sentences shows ii was not
written there. If its statements are
trustworthy you are on the brink of
another revolution to establish a re-
public. The Honolulu press must
be very deficient in newsgathering
and patriotism if the letter in ques-
ton reveals true state of facts, be-
cause it fails to sound note of
warning of any kind. The effect Of
the publication must he injurious to
the Islands which are supposed to he
at least prosperous, but which would
really appear to be upon the brink of
bankruptcy and rum. This sensa-
tional story will no doubt be tele-
graphed East, where its improba-
bility will not be so easily detected
as here. 70 speak of 1.-THE wide
spread ruin among the sugar plant
ers and the country generally" is
certainly wonderful imaginative
effort in view of the opuIence of the
former, and the increasing values of
property as reported at public sales
in Honolulu, to say nothing of The
rapid expansion of Hawaiian trade,
for which two steel ships will soon be
under contract at Glasgow, in add-
ton to the extra steamer service by
the Oceanic Company.
For bankrupt and misgoverned
country Hawaii appears to hold up
its end very credltablv among pro-
ducing and commercial communities.
Why Minister Carter's reported re-
si9nation should be selected as a
peg upon which to hang this attack
upon the Queen and native Ha-
waians is matter which may pos
sbly be explained, but which Is not
distinctly evident on the face of the
story. One thing is abundantly evl-
dent, however. The same policy of
detraction which bounded kalakaua
to death is being adopted in the case
Of his successor, forgetful alike of
the sex Of the Sovereign and the
chivalrOus devotion men owe to a
woman, and one so highly placed
and so surrounded hv legal lmita-
tions and restrictions as to be wholly
unable TO defend herself.
This mornings Examiner contains
an alleged interview with the Queen
on political questions, and especially
the treaty relations between Hawaii
and the United States. 1t may be
genuine but it must have come up
by pigeon express" inside of six
days, unless tie date was changed
by the wide-awake editor to give it
the appearance Of late news.
The Canadian Pacific Company s
new steamer, Empress of India, ar
rived at Victoria, b. c., on the 29tb,

days ahead of the best previous
time, and makes Yokohama as near
to Victoria as Liverpool was to New
York ten years ago.
