Hawaii holomua = Progress. [volume] (Honolulu) 1893-1895, 1893-11-22

Another prominent official who
enjoys life at the expense of the
taxpayers is the Deputy Collec-
tor of Customs. He is travelling
ostensibly for the purpose of In
specting Custom Houses-a per-
fectly absurd transaction as all
collectors have to forward their
statements and money monthly
or quarterly. The Deputy Col
lector is doing a little political
jobbing at the same time. and
holds meetings of the different
local annexation clubs. at which
he encourages the bewildered
islanders to stand firm and
shoulder to shoulder in their
glorious and praiseworthy efforts
of supporting the P. G.-and
continue to pay the salary of the
said Deputy Collector. If the
annexation club desires to send
a man around on the stump, by
all means let them do it, but let
them do it at their own expense
and not saddle the depleted
treasury with any more useless
expenditures. The time of the
government officials belongs to the
taxpayers who furnish the money
that pay the officials If the
Custom House en- get along
without a deputy collector, do
away with that Office. and let the
present incumbent devote all his
time in rubbing the back of such
men as John W. Kalua. But if
the Office as deputy collector is q
necessity las we believe it to be.
the man filling that Office and
drawing the pay connected with
it should be made to stick to

his business and carry out the
duties incumbent on him. and
for which he is paid instead of
being allowed to travel around
on a political speech-making tour
to the neglect of his Office. The
sanction of that kind of business
on the part of the government
comes with bad grace from an
alleged honest, upright, eeonoml-
cal and non-corrupt administra-
tion-but then it is only the
hired organettes that use such
terms about Mr.. Dole and his
seventeen satellites.

TOPICS OF THE DAY.

Our extremely economical gov
eminent which according to the
Advertiser and the Star, has
never been equalled in HAWAII Is
at present wasting the money of
the taxpayers by sending gov
eminent officials on lunketlng
expeditions of a most useless
nature around the country. The
Postmaster-General makes a big
showing by writing lengthy and
tedious reports about his pleasure
trips to the other Islands. while
the people in Honolulu are being
put to great inconvenience, and
ANNOYANCE by the new rule OF the
Post Office that the mails for the
foreign steamers close two hours
before the sailing of the vessels.
The Postmaster-General is visit
ing the Volcano and furnish
ing the admiring govern
ment with such novel and
astounding facts as his latest
statement that there are not
many residents in the vicinity OF
the Volcano House. We have
been told that the reason for
closing the mails so long before
the steamers leave is that the
Post Office officials are very busy
in making up statistics for the
international Postal Union. We
should imagine that these status
tics would be Of some concern to
the head of the Postal depart
ment, and that it would be OF
more Importance to Mr.. Oat to
be around, and attending to the
supervision at least of the works
of his clerks that spending his
time at the Volcano, where we are
told, there are not many residents.

partisan official. but it reflects
verv little to the credit of the
government which at least in
directly tolerates the infamous
and extremely corrupt action of
the Acknowledgement. The
libels against Mr.. c. B. Wilson
and the outrageous lying ISLANDERS
againstthe Queen have been made
for the purpose of creating a row
through shamefully aggrayatng
the friends OF the parties men,
toned. The hireling who calls
Wilson a Tahitian coward has
not succeeded in his nefarious
schemes. Mr.. Wilson mas so far
been on the right track and
simply appealed to the laws OF
the Kingdom. The course of
Mr.. Wilson has naturally been
a source of annoyance and dis
appointment to the clique repre-
sented by ". o. Smith and he
has therefore cowardly misused
the authority vested in him to
prevent any further appeal to
the laws by the outraged and
assaulted citizen. The infamy
with which the government
stands covered through ". Q.
Smiths political conduct will
rest on each individual member
for ever. Ii any of them ever
believe that they can be tolerated
in public life in these Islands
their knowledge of human nature
and of political decency and
honesty must be sadly wanting.
The Hawaiian Nation will bide
its time, but when the hand OF
judgement falls it will fall
heavily and crush W. o. Smith
and his corrupt abettors.

indicated at least that the govern

When the Advertiser bemoans
the necessity of keeping the town
in a semi state of martial law and
overrun with armed men II
should mention who it Is that
has brought on this state OF
affairs in our formerly peaceful
community, and who it Is that
has brought the undesirable
element of toughs to the surface
The government does not fear
any uprising from the royallsts-
1t is perfectly we'll aware that
there never has been any nten-
ton on the part of the loyal
citizens of Hawaii who believe IN
self-government to take the law
into their own hands and over
throw the provisional govern
ment. The loyal Hawaiians have
perfect faith in the justice and
honesty of President Cleveland S
administration, and they will be
perfectly satisfied by abiding by
anv decision which the United
States Government will give IN
regard to Hawaii's future. But
the government has made a great
mistake In arming the undesira-
BILE element of which it stands
in fear themselves and clothing
all the beach-combers In town
with a certain authority. The
government finds itself In
quandary through its own foolish
! and ill-advised action, and 1t Is
now wondering how to get rid OF
the pretorian guard which 1t
unfortunately has created and
which now is a standing menace
to the peace of the community.

Smith.
ORDERS ISSUED TO
THE MARSHAL
Refuse any Further Warrants for Libel
Against the Star Editor.
SMITH of the "Star" Protected
by SMITH of the PIG.

That the Attorney General of
the Provisional Government has
succeeded during his brief in
cumbency in becoming the most
unpopular man in town is no
secret any longer. Even the
very supporters of the revolu-
tionary government regret that
it ever should have been thought
advisable to select man like
Mr.. Smith for the all-importaDt
Office of Attorney General. His
narrow mindedness, his bigotry,
and his incapabilitv as pros
ecuting officer have become
hard and cold facts, but the
community has tolerated him be-
cause he has generally been
considered harmless as long
as the impartial and fair spirit of
Sanford Dole's brains dominated
and acted as a check on the
vagaries of the Acknowledgement.
But when a most glaring act of
injustice and favoritism is COM
mitted by the Attorney General
for the sake of shielding the
hired scribbler who revels III
libellous ISLANDERS in the Star
columns, it is time to make a
strong and determined protest.
Attorney General Smith hes
instructed the Marshal and
his deputies to refuse
to sanction the issuing of any
further warrants against Editor
Smith of the Hawaiian Star.
The provisional government In
the person of Encouragement
". o. Smith has placed its seal
of approval on the paper. and the
writer who daily violates the laws
of the country by publishing
libel after libel. Mr. S. B. Dole
the ex judges administration
encourages through Mr.. ". ..
Smith the learned Attorney
oeneral-measures which will lead
to the taking of the law into the
hands of the men who are assault
ed bv the black guards in the hire
of the annexationists. Mr. Dole's
administration which has been
held up to the United States as
an honest and fairminded gov
eminent refuses justice and right
to all citizens who differ polite
ally from the attorney general.
We shall refrain from comment
ing on the marshal. He has
shown himself so outrageously
partisan in allowing Mr.. Smith
of the Star to 90 at liberty WI 1t
out furnishing any bail that he
has stamped himself as unworthy
of holding any Office of trust or
Importance in this country
That the attorney general
now shows himself as favor
ing and supporting the
methods of Mr.. Hitchcock Is
perhaps some excuse for this

Mr.. Kenyon was at the time OF
his arrest the responsible editor
of the HoLoMUA. An editorial
which appeared in an Ohio paper
and which dealt severely with
Mr.. John l.. Stevens-at that
time American minister to Hawaii
was reproduced in the HoLoNUA,
and Mr.. Kenyon was arrested ON
a warrant sworn out by Attorney
General Smith. Mr. Kenyon was
arrested by two police-captains,
and on a Saturday afternoon.
He was brought to the Station
House where he was searched
like common felon and locked
mn in a cell in the basement of
the building in which a bucket
with excrements was placed.
This was done, as it was stated at
the time to Mr.. Kenyon by Dep
uty Marshal Brown, according to
instructions from headquarters.
Although, everybody knew that
Mr.. Kenyon would Immediately
be bailed out this outrage was
committed at the special orders of
the alleged honest and decent at
torney-general. Mr.. Kenyon was
released on a bail-bond for $500.
while we recently have seen the
stranger who edits the Star all
owed to 60 on his own recogni-
zance. The case of Mr.. Kenyon
should have been tried at the
last term of the circuit court,
but the attorney general was not
ready to go on claiming that he
had to get some very necessary
and important papers from the
United States Legation which at
that time was closed. Now the
case we should have supposed
was ready to go on The
legation is open and minister
is here. The learned Attorney
General has now undoubtedly
access to all the documents which
he needs -but now he enters
a nolle prosequi without making
the slightest explanation for
such step or for anything con-
nected with this business. That
Mr.. Kenyon of course will bring
suit for damages against Mr..
w. o. Smith goes without say
ing. 1t is perhaps the only
remedy for redress which he has,
but we trust that the British
Minister who has followed the
different phases of the outrage
against Mr.. Kenyon viii not
allow the matter to drop or be
Hawaii holomua = Progress. [volume] (Honolulu) 1893-1895, 1893-11-22

Since Minister Willis has
given out that he will maintain
the peace in this country at all
hazards, there is no possible ex-
cuse for the retaining of the arm
ed forces. 1t is direct insult
and a threat against the United
States for this government to
keep up an army after the repre-
sentative of President Cleveland
has taken upon himself the
responsibility of keeping the
peace and the order here. The
Provisional Government which
at present manages affairs here
will shortly be made to
remember that it does not
stand as an independent gov
eminent, but that it will have to
bow humbly to the United States
which although temporarily
recognizing it as the de tacto
government of Hawaii will make
their voice heard and their will
felt in the re-establishing of a
constitutional and proper govern
ment in the country. The
buster and braggadocia of the
revolutionary government and Its
organs don't 60 for much.
Whatever the United States
d emand. in regard to
Hawaii will Le done and
nothing in the power OF the
P. G. or their supporters can alter

regard to Hawaii-nei-even if a
brief delay b as been secured

atoms and deliberate falsehoods-

western bay mare AliN in three straight
heats, the last heat being trotted in 2.OS,
the fastest mile ever done in November.
In the first heat they came up in the
line with Alix a neck in the lead. The
bay had this advantage when they got the
word to go. She gradually forged to the
front in the first quarter. As they passed
the twO-furlOng mark she was leading by
a length In the backstretch Directum
moved up to her. As they neared the turn
for the hill AliX broke badly, and in a
twinkliug Directum was half a dozen
lengths to the good. Although Curry got
Alix down again, and she came strong
and fresh at the finish, Directum won by
two lengths in 2.l5"4
In the second heat Directum was at
Alix's withers when they got the word ia
go, and AliX was leading by a good half
length all the way down the backstretch,
As they swung around the Uurn Directum
began to improve his position. At the

DON'T BE BULLDOznD.

The attempt of a small coterie Of
party wreckers to force certain ap-
pointments upon the recently elected
Republican county officials should be
nipped in the bud and it is hoped the
officials will have the courage to
act according to their consci
ence and make the appointments
on the merits of the applicants, ire
spective Of any political pull It is
their duty to select competent men as
their assistants and a failure to do
80 will lay a foundation for bad man
agement of their offices. When few
back number political heelers assume
that they have the right to dictate
who shall be appointed TO the
positions referred to they should be
made to understand that if there
is to be any such dictation
every man who voted for the elected
officials has a voice in the matter.
Most of the men recently elected have
sufficient integrity and common sense
to make proper appointments without
interference of outsiders and they
should do so. The political heelers
who are pulling wires for personal
gain and qualification should take
warning in time. If they persist in
their bulldozing tactics the people
who helped to achieve the recent
glorious success will arise in their
might and crush the meddlers with
such force as to kill what little life
now clings to them and demand in
the interest of justice and good gov
ernment that merit shall receive its
reward. If the elected officials take
clean men and clean methods as their
motto the people will be with them.

You may expect to hear of the
queerest kind of travelling baggage
these days for it would seem as though
human ingenuity had been exerting
itself to the utmost to devise ways and
means whereby it would be possible
TO render travelling less troublesome,
especially in the matter of children.
In st. Louis the other day queer noises
were heard in connection with laree e
valise in the waiting room of one of
the railroad companies. Upon investi.
CATION the noises were found to pro-
ceed from a pair of pretty twins about
three weeks old, who had been care
fully packed in it, a hole having been
cut in the singular baby receptacle to
furnish the little ones with air. That
they were not smothered seems
miraculous. They were taken to a
neighboriug hospital and released
from their unique and dangerous
imprisonment.
