cynicism give their readers pic
ture of a politico-commercial sob. "
We confidently predict that its per-
usal will root up all confidence our
readers have possessed in the fair
ness, impartiality and essential ac-
curacy of the Nations view of the
Chilean episode, and, finally, of its
political temper of mind at large.
In its issue Of one week. later
February 9th), editorially they
treat the Thurston treaty as an ac-
complisbed fact. The men who
successfully blocked the negoti-
atoms for that treaty, under
whose favorable conditions the
Nation supposes us living, are,
consistently enough, in the ranks
of our opponents. True enough
(if such were the fact), that
treaty would not have made our
commercial, as we'll as our political
state, so unbearable. It's enemies
"builded for annexation better than
they knew" by its death and many
of them like not the fruit of their
work. We lack space to criticize
the editorial as it deserves and
must refer our readers to its perusal.
Suffice to say that a critic of such
pretensions as the Nation is in
excusable for this ignorance, and
should either accept our statement
of facts or be better posted before
opposing. We shall await positive
knowledge of the terms of the treaty
of annexation, before we enter fully
into it's discussion with its oppo-
nents here.

FEBRUARY "a, 1898
TIE RECEPTION.

The Opera House will hardly
afford ample room, as we believe,
for the throng who will wish to
shake hands with Captain Wiltse
this evening. We hope the genial
captain is in good fighting trim, or
he will be in danger of possessing
as lame q right arm Saturday next
as the President of the United
States used to have after recep-
ton at the White House. If the
vigor of the greetings is to be mea-
sured by the goodwill back of it,
liniment and bandages will be in
demand next day. We will spare
your arm, good Captain, and give
our greeting here. We congratu-
late you on living in Honolulu on
the memorable days of January and
February, 1898. The days of
January will become Hawaii's
historic phrase of glorious meaning
like Frances Gully days" yet anti
podal in the bloodless victory. We
congratulate ourselves that you
were here, and the old flag too.
May all the revolutions it shall
wave over be those of peace Au
revoir, and bon voyage.

A Complaint From MOIOkai.

a Complaint From MOlOkai.
Mr.. EDITOR: l ask for little space
in your valuable paper for few re
marks on the officers of Molokai.
They are all natives.
We're they natives who were honest
in the discharge OF their duties, we
would be glad to see them kept in by
the Provisional Government. But
men, who, as the Judge and Deputy
Sheriff were last July OF August,
mixed up in a disgraceful affair at
the Leper Settlement, which was
spoken of at considerable length in
the native papers, and was the same
racket that is said to have been the
chief cause Of the removal of the last
Superintendent. It is impossible for
a white man to get justice before the
present judge, and he will surely get
left, never mind how good his case, if
his opponent be a native, and appeal
ing to Maui is expensive work for
poor people, besides the trouble of
getting to Maui to attend court
Our Deputy Sheriff is not fit for
the position; he is blind to anything
going on, and DRINKS; liquor, sellers
and law-breakers have soft snap if
they are natives or Cinnamon who
have little money.
Liquor is sold under the caves, as
it were, of the Courthouse at Pukoo,
and it seems to those of Us not in the
ring as though the paternal hand of
the never watchful police must pro
tect them, instead of giving them
their deserts. We hope to have a
change for the better soon.

OUR OPPONENTS.

We are assisted to an acquaint-
ance with those American news
papers who oppose annexation by
the researches of some Of our con-
temporaries. We especially appre-
ciate this assistance, for the coterie
is relatively so small that only by
special effort would we otherwise
be able to acquaint ourselves with
its sentiments. When the contin-
gent is further reduced to those
who oppose annexation from the
same motives and for the same
reasons as their allies here Cor the
aggressive public spoken portion of
them), its numerical strength
wildly suggests high potency no.
meopathy.
So far as we have noticed, the
facts from which these papers have
drawn their arguments (if we may
so far dignity their remarks), are
limited to the national distribution
of the population, in some cases,
evidently not even availing them
selves of the last census.
The first, and probably the
only process necessary to the
conversion of majority Of these,
is to mail to their editors a copy of
Alexander's brief history--a history
of the relations between the United
States and Hawaii, which we have
seen and hope to soon see in print
and the GAZETTE Company's
brief history of the revolution. II
their influence, and the sentiment
they voice, are what we may infer
from the above, it is worth while to
furnish them the literature we have
named. The accuracy of its sub
juct matter, is, in all essentials as
incontestible by our opponents as
ourselves. We have boundless con-
fidence in its efficacy to convert all
fair and open-minded minds to the
wisdom and desirability of the inn
mediate fulflment of Hawaii's
manifest destiny" without any
addition from our editorial chair.
The treatment of the "days OF
January" by one Eastern journal,
however, calls for more than a gen.
eral remark. The number of read.
ers in this community, though de.
creasing, who have read the Nation
with respect has not been small
The construction it gives to the
revolution can hardly be resisted
by its local readers as wilful. In
possession of a clear-cut statement
of facts and without a scintilla O
evidence in rebuttal they, neverthe
less, disdaining to hold judgment
in suspense for further light on the
subject, by innuendo and the char
acteristic combination of wit ant
