OUR POSITION.

Referring to the "Amende Honor
able" in these columns to-day, it
seems necessary to remove some
current misconceptions of this journ-
ais position. The BULLETIN is neither
the property nor the "official organ"
of the Hawaiian Government. 1t is
published by a chartered corpora
ton as business enterprise. If it
has contained more of the official
advertisements of the Government
than its English daily contempor-
ary, since the change of Ministry in
1890, that has only been in accord
with the practice of all Ministries in
Hawaii of throwing the major part
of their patronage into the journals
most friendly to them. The Adver-
tiser has a column headed with the
royal coat-of-arms and the words,
''By Authority" which is scarcely
ever vacant and which has often, in
the past two years, contained some
of the most lucrative official an
nouncements of the Government
which were not published in the
BULLETIN. If Government adyer-
tisements contained in it constitute
newspaper Government organ,
then the claims to the title between
the two papers named are only to
be adjudged relatively to the guam
tity of such matter. The BULLETIN
if it had the greater portion, would
be the major organ, while the Ad
vertiser would be the minor organ
and thankful to be so till it got
something better. There is nobody
in the ownership of the BuLLErr
connected with the Ministry who
could prevent the papers going
to-day into active opposition to thu
administration.
With reference to the communi
cations on the wrecked ship VIM. A

More Opium on the Castle.

G. L. Crabbe, Port Surveyor, has
been keeping a sharp eye on the
barkentine S, N. Castle, since the
day the police captured the carpen-
ter coming ashore from that vessel
with 102 tins.
Yesterday there were symptoms
exhibited about the vessel of a pro-
jected attempt to land some of the
stuff. A strong watch was maintain
ed all night in hope of catching a
possessor as we'll as the opium itself.
This morning, however, the Port
Surveyor concluded that further de-
lay might endanger chances of
catching even the contrabatd. He
therefore sent officers on board, who

AMENpE HONORABLE.

The BULLETIN has never held itself
responsible for the opinions of cor
respondents. At the same time this
journal knows that it is responsible
for the protection of private charac-
ter and reputation from unjustifiable
injury at the hands of anybody who
contributes to its columns. Several
communications have been published
in this paper, rejecting on official
American Representatives, relative
to the wrecked ship VIM. A. Camp
bell. So far as such communications
have been honest even If severe ex-
pressions of public opinion, without
evident malice or personal prejudice,
they have been published here in
accordance with one of the cardinal
principles on which the BULLETIN
was founded and has in the main al
ways been conducted-namely, that
a public journal should afford a
medium for the expression of the
peoples views upon any matter OF
public interest. An organ of public
opinion should, however, be ready
and willing to make honorable
amends for any wrong committed,
inadvertently or carelessly, in its
columns. In one of the communica-
tions referred to above, we are salts
fed that expressions were used to-
ward the United States diplomatic
representative of personally often
sive nature. Although we were
made aware of a high state OF
resident American feeling on the
subject, it was lapse of editor.

feeling to take such offensive per,

question, the United States officials

mnnications, we're, however, accepted
as being what they we're, in truth, the
utterance of the sentiment of resi-
dent American citizens only ex-
ception being that one of the calmest
of the productions, which seized on
the incident as an argument against
annexation. If the Advertiser chooses
to hold the BULLETIN responsible for
the utterances of its correspondents,
it should pull down its own antiquat-
ed sign, eve do not hold ourselves
responsible for the opinions of our
correspondents" without Haunting
which it is afraid to give any hum
BILE citizen hearing.
The BULLETIN might, as it had a
right to do, have editorially discuss
ed the question raised as to search
ing for the distressed American
mariners, but that it presumed the
American officials knew their duties
better than a Hawaiian newspaper.
At the same time when American
citizens sought our columns to ex-
press their views on the matter they
were not turned away nor are their
expressions of legitimate tone
apologized for. In their own coun-
try they make free to criticize the
course or the conduct of their Presi-
dent, and this is rightly esteemed
one of the most valuable privileges
of an American citizen, one of which
tends greatly to keeping the admin
istration perpetually honorable. 1t
would be indeed hard if Americans
in Honolulu, forming the largest
alien colony of civilization here
were debarred from like freedom
of honest expression regarding the
conduct of their national represent
atives appointed by the President
Both the diplomatic and consular
representatives of the United States
have often placed the BULLETIN un
der debt of gratitude and esteem
for courtesies such as journalist:
: highly value. Personally, it holds
both of them, as well as their sub
: ordinates, in the greatest friendly re
gard, and would deeply regret i
any of them have been led to mis-
understand it's position as an indie
: pendent newspaper.
