Nh EDIToR: LII a late issue OF the
Bulletin az editorial appeared which
for consistent and logical sequence
was 4 most remarkable effort, pre-
sumably a coup d. essai Of the
schooI-boy order. The diatribe in
Quesli IN purported to be a sweeping
condemnation Of certain articles
published in the San Francisco
Chronicle and Examiner, bnt in
reality was no more nor less than q
vituperative attack on the PERSONAL
ty of the writer. To fully under
stand the venom which tie editor of
the Bulletin impregna'es his article
With, and The stupidity displayed by
the latter il asserting IN one line
that I am the author of the article
which appeared in the Chronicle of
the 18th, and in the next line he (the
EDITOR says that l was repudiated
almost in advance By private letters
sent to one or more journals here,''
shows the utter inability of the edi-
tor Of the Bulletin to present a mere
statement in consistent light and
also excites the ridicule and disgust
OF all logic loving people. When I
first arrived in this city, which at the
time was plunged in the deepest dis
tress and bereavement for the loss
of the late King, I paid a
visit to the various editors OF
the home journal. Probably in
recognition of my visit, the editor OF
the Bulletin honored me with per
sonal mention, which stated in effect
that was here as Chronicle CORE
spondent. How he got the impress
sion that was q Chronicle represen
tative I have yet to discover; how
ever, a copy Of the Bulletin with the
falsely reported personal found its
way into The sanctum Of editor De
Young Of the Chronicle, aud, as [
did not represent the Chronicle. Mr..
De- Young took means to make the
editor Of the Bulletin cognizant of
that fact. Hearing Of this, l hast
ened to the Bulletin office aud de
mauded an explanation. The editor
Ia turn told me- that the personal
had crept into the Bulletin IN the
pressure of an editorial rush." /
then requested that an explanation
he sent to Mr.. De Young; my request
was complied with, and u letter ex-
onerating NE from all blame in the
matter was sent by Mr.. Johnstone.
the editor of the Bulletin. Now l
am accused Of being presumably"
the author Of the following article.

Ii must be remembered that these Off

word Kings" was carefully expnnged
and The Cabinet" was made remov.
able only by vote OF the lie islature
Moreover, the regnng family We're
elected to their high Office by Legisla-

her oath Of office under the new consti-
tu'inn. This family are not the de-
scendants of the kainellamthas, so even
the sentimentalism Of prerogatiye is
lacking.
The Judges of the Supreme Court are
all of the Caucasian race exclusively,
and have none OF them internarried
with the Hawaiian race. Though ar-
pointed by lac sovereign, they are known
TO he intelligent. and have generally
b EN- supposed TO be honest.
The late Legislature did not cease lis
