We do not wish to be unkind to
the political excuse which at pres
emit is editing that journal, but at
the same time wish it distinctly
understood we will not consent to
our friend, the last of the royalist
organs, Sinking the chill necessity
Of political fate by refusing to an
swer the previous "knockouts" OF
the minister of finance, and there
by attempting to throw the burden
of defense upon others. There is
not a doubt that the minister
of finance will be as pains
taking as heretofore and will
as fully explain the errors Of the
Bulletin, made during the past
week, at the meeting of the coun-
ellis to take place next Thursday
Should Minister Damon fail in this
duty, which he owes to himself and
the cause of good government
then it will be time for this journal
to take up the facts as demanded
by the Bulletin.

The Observation-Disclosures Suil

The Observation-Disclosures Suit.
The decision in the Spreckels
vs.. Macfarlane suit, rendered by
the supreme court yesterday, was
only q side issue of the main suit
of Waikapu Sugar Company
against the Spreckelsville planta-
ton, and known as the million
dollar suit" A decision by the full
court on this important case is
said to be expected shortly. The
decision of the first named suit in
favor of Spreckels would have an
important bearing on the main
issue, if Mr.. Spreckels by foreclos-
ure process should acquire owner
ship Of Mr.. Macfarlane's shares
in the Waikapu Sugar Company
before a decision is given in the
main suit, in the event of the de-
cision being against him, or in
Macfarlane's favor, as the owner
ship of Macfarlane's shares in the
Waikapu Sugar Company would
virtually give Spreckels the benefit
of the damages, or accounting to
be made by the Spreckelsville
Company.

HALEMAU MAU.
A Kamaaina Says the Word is
MisfransIafed.

A Kauaaina Says the Word is
MisfransIafed.
Mr.. EDITOR: Is it not time to
correct the erroneous translation
"hoLse of everlasting fire." for the
well known Halemaumau, even at
the risk of spelling any fancied
romance there may be in the trans
lation above given?
To begin with, the word is not
ha-le-mau-mau, but ha-le-ma-u-
ma-u, the pronunciation of which
is clear enough to those vino are
acquainted with the language, but
| as an aid to the uninitiated the
spelling may be anglicized thus :
Ha-leh- ah-ma- Gonna 90; the literal
translation being not "house fern, u
as stated by a critic some years
ago, when he was trying to correct
some erroneous translation of Ha-
waiian words, but house (of) fern,
or, correctly "fern house"
The name is supposed to have
originated from the original house
or hut that existed there, having
been matched with fern.
If any one disputes this theory
Of the origin and meaning of the
word-which is believed by the
writer to be fact rather than theory
"a lover of correct rather than
fanciful translations, will be glad
to hear from him through the col
umns of your paper.
There has been too much of a
tendency to carelessly adopt and
perpetuate false translations of
Hawaiian words, and some of the
attempts that have been made 10
give the pronunciation of these
words in anglicized photography
have exhibited a want of proper
acquaintance with the phonetics of
the language.
