and he ssid there was nothing new
to report regarding our treaty or
Hawaiian sfairs.

made bv Mr.. Biount of submitting
the question TO a popular vote, and
Il certainly did not come from Sec
rotary Gresham, or the president,
As absolutely nothing has been
made public by either Of them re-
speotng the report. and if it did so

The Caly remark that has been
made by tie president was in re-
Spouse 10 s senator who inquired of
him If anything was likely TO be
done 81 the extra session regarding
Hawaiian affairs. Mr.. Cleveland
replied, Nothing whatever will be
done until after our financial affairs

This Is authentic, and means
that nothing viii be done at the
extra session, or even at the regu-
lar December session, until after
the silver and tariff questions are
definitely disposed OF. These are
considered Of paramount import

matters must lie in allegiance till
the more important domestic ques-
tons are settled.
The only thing that remains for
Us Is 10 firmly maintain the pres

TIE SYMPATHY DODGE.

The Bulletin not being able to
compete with It's business rivals
either under the defunct monarchy
or the Provisional government is
again reduced to playing the sym
pzthy dodge in the hope Of pro-
longing It's lease on life. which its
merits as 3 business concern or q
newspaper would long since have
closed with Z period. The print
ing law under which the Proyis-
ional government has been letting
government printing since last
January Is the same law under
which al went merry ss q mar
riage beIl7 with the Bulletin when
Il was engaged in the pleasant
task Of sucking treasury pap"
under ex-royalty.
The Bulletin whines at the IN
business Of the old law. We admit
that almost any thing pertaining
to either the politics or business
methods Of the monarchy has
been for years open to criticism
and amendment. The printing
law which was interpreted by
the rule Of favoritism in the
most open and barefaced
manner under the monarchy, es-
pscialy by the Gibson and Nation
81 reform regimes, certainly needs
the amendment which the Pro
visiOnal government is proposing to
give II through the resolution
lately introduced by the minister
OF finance. Had the monarchy re-
manned in power, which was i'm
possible after its abuses, It is more
than likely the law would never
have been changed and the Bulletin
would never have whined.
At present We intend only reply
ing to the structures Of the Bulletin
made against the ADVERTISER and
the Hawaiian Gazette Company.
When the merits of this 'jObbery"
or printing law, long in force under
the monarchy, comes up for dis
cussion the ADVERTISER viii have
something TO say on the awarding

GEORGE BROWN.
He is Now in Command of a
Navy Yard.

Commodore George Brown, who
has been promoted to rear-admiral
by President Cleveland, is now in
command of the Norfolk navy
yard. He is a native of Indiana
and was appointed to the naval
academy from that state. He
served through the war with dis
tinction. He was at Valparaiso at
the breakout of the Balmaceda rev.
olution.
Admiral Brown has seen a vast
deal of service in the Pacific. He
was in command of the vessels in
Hawaiian waters for a considerable
period and was on friendly terms
with ex-queen Liliuokalani. 1t will
be recalled that it was through
Admiral Browns efforts that the
United States was granted by the
queens government the use of
Pearl river harbor as naval coal
ing station.
Admiral Brown favors the estab-
lishment of a protectsrate over the
Hawaiian islands, believing, as he
does, that the natives are incapable
OF self-government. His promotion
meets with a great deal of favor
among naval officers. Brown is
democrat, but Notwithstanding this
is very intimate friend of ex-
President Harrison. Harrison ap-
pointed his son to the naval acad-
F. Chronicle.

sPRECKELs GOT THERE.
Bat Somehow He Failed TO Stay,
and the AnneNationists were
Sorry to See Him Leave.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 25. The
Hawaiian question has again been
brought to prominence by the re-
cent visit to Washington of Mr..
Claus spreckels, who has come out
as strong anti-annexationist in
order that he may continue to en-
ploy cheap coolie labor on his sugar
plantations. He started a contro-
versy with Hawaiian Minister
Thurston and got utterly routed,
and since then Mr.. Spreckels has
left Washington, much to the re-
greet Of those who favor annexation,
because they knew that his pres
ence did harm to his own cause.
They were really sorry to see him
leave town, because his utterances
have so plainly and strongly ac-
centuated the fact that annexation
is not desired as a sugar conspiracy
in any way, but that anti-annexa-
ton is the desideratum of Mr..
Spreckels that he may establish a
planters plutocracy of the few in
opposition to the desires of the
Provisional government to make it
a white mans country conducted
on American lines. The sentiment
in favor of annexation is just as
strong in Washington as ever it
was, but other prominent topics,
and the uncertainty of how Mr..
Cleveland will act, keep opinions
from being expressed.
1t was remarked that Mr.. Spree
kels did not appear before the
ways and means committee when
the sugar men had their hearing.
He probably thought it best not to
do so, as he might have been cross
questioned too closely by the COM
mittee as to his diversified sugar
interests. In recent years Mr..
Spreckels has become known as a
lobbyist at Washington, and, it is
true, he generally finds some poll
teal henohman willing to do his
bidding. One of these was ex-
Senator FELTON,, who is said to owe
his political advancement entirely
to Spreckels. Mr.. Felton's success
sor, Senator Perkins, is also friend
of the sugar monopolist, being, in
fact, associated in business with |
him as a large stakeholder and |
director in Speckels' steamship |
company and no doubt Spreckels !
had something to say as to the APP
pointment of the new California |
senator, who will not be able to
help him much politically, because
he has hardly acquired his politi-
cal land legs. Spreckels has al |
ways had a great idea of his own
influence and Importance here,
though few others have. He is a
liberal contributor to the campaign
funds of the republican party in
California, but how he expects this
to help him with a democratic adj
ministration it is hard to say.
Should Mr.. Cleveland decide
against annexation, Spreckels will
any doubt take to himself
The credit of having worked it and
fixed him. New York Sun.

THEY ASKED RESTORATION.
Now John F. Colburn Demands
Indemnity for Needy
RoyaIistS.

NV eAAGNSs
Under date of Honolulu, Sep
TENDER 18th, John F. Colburn, a
member of the deposed Hawaiian
queens cabinet, writes to Cesar
Celso Moreno, Of this city, as fol-
lows:
Il have refrained from cores
ponding with any one in regard to
the revolution that happened in
our country, owing to the position
that l held in her majesty Liliuo-
kalani's cabinet. We all antici-
pated that President Cleveland
would appoint some one whom he
had confidence in to investigate
and sift the matter to the bottom,
and the gentleman that he did
send, Mr.. J. H. Blount, was the
right man in the right place.
He has given satisfaction to
both parties. l think, that is, the
way be has conducted himself and
his investigations. What his re-
port will be, or what he will advise
as the best for Hawaii no one ex-
cept those Immediately connected
with him knows. l, speaking for
myself-and l know l am voicing
the sentiments of the Hawaiian
people and such foreigners as have
not allowed themselves to be mar
row-minded by the object of imme-
date personal gain-hope and trust
and do pray that the president the
United States of America and his
chief advisers will do what is right,
fair, just, and equitable for US,
considering that our queen has
been deprived of her throne, loyal
subjects of their queen and the
country precipitated into the trou-
bic and debt through the conni-
vance and assistance of Americas
representative and naval comman-
der, and the troops and guns of
the good ship Boston.
THE Hawaiian people ask from
America nothing more than what |
is right, and that is to restore
things as they were January II, |
1898, and indemnify US for dam
ages. l care nothing for these
people here, Thurston and the rest
of his missionary brethren and |
their followers. The United States
government, through its represen-
tative and naval commander, did |
Us the wrong. Had they not ac-
guessed in the crimes that the
rebels planned, and not only lent
their moral assistance, but their
physical assistance, against all in
courtesy, Liliuokalani
and her government would be in
power today. Hawaii would be
prospecting as has been her wont,
and peace and happiness would
reign supreme.
ave are waiting patiently for
the affair, and the sooner it is de-
cided the better it will be for all
If our fate is to be
annexed against our will we will
have to succumb then to the in
evitable, and will take our poison
like men, although it viii be a big
dose, but if Providence shall rule
that right shall be might, then I
expect our political enemies will
swallow their medicine as it be-
comes them.

loyal subjects are accepting the
situation like Christians. viii

printing expenses Of the Provision
al government" since last January
would show that the Hawaiian
Gazette Company (owner Of the
ADVERTISER simply lives and
moves and has its being from the
public funds" This statement we
brand as 8 lie; this is the plain
English of it, and when the Bull
letin's attack is so evidently made
from business jealousy, as in this
instance, there is no necessity of
mincing matters by seeking a more
polite and less expressive epithet.
Perhaps the Bulletin, which is
lately given to using the truth
with such persistent frugality, will
remember the time under the
monarchy when a notice was
posted in the interior Office order
ing that advertising was not to be
given the ADVERTISER without the
special order of the head Of that
department ? This was before the
Provisional government came into
power, when the Bulletin had full
swing on treasury pap" under
the National reform party; and
vet, in 1892, the ADVERTISER had
more advertising and subscription
patronage than would have been
necessary to buy twice over all
the issued stock of the Bulletin
Company at par value. If the
Bulletin wishes to challenge this
statement, let it produce its figures
and they will be met with sworn
statements.
This was under the monarchy,
when neither the ADVERTISER nor
weekly HAWAIIAN GAZETTE were
given a government job except
when the law demanded it should
be given to the papers of the largest
circulation, or where it was neces-
sary to have notices published on
the other islands.
The ADVERTISER and the Hawai-
ian Gazette Company managed to
get along without government aid
under the monarchy, and the
same feat could just as easily
be performed under the Pro-
visional or any other govern
ment established in Hawaii,
if any political change, such as
the one which now appears to be
swapping the Bulletin, should take |
place again. The ADVERTISER and |
Hawaiian Gazette Company are
established upon business and not
political principles, and this fact is
fully appreciated by the advertisers
and the reading public of Hawaii,
as our books will show when COM
pared, in any year lately and in
any department, with those of our
bankrupt contemporary.
One other point. The Bulletin
charges that the ADVERTISER, as
one of the organs" has been 4gob-
bling up patronage without author
ity." We are under the painful
necessity of again exchanging the
lie direct with our contemporary.
The ADVERTISER has a general bid
for government advertising, and
when its services are needed the
becomes its patron.
Our prices are fixed, and special
bids have never been made from
this Office to cut under other news
papers. The Bulletin mentions an
instance where " the publication Of
the laws was given out to the low
est bidder" under the monarchy.
Perhaps the less the Bulletin has
to say about that piece of gross
favoritism the better, as the bids
to are still on record.
