w. o. Smith Writes Letters
Thinks the Present Rotten system
''GOod'' Government.

Cedar Rapids Iowa Nov. 10
To night William Waterhouse of
this city, member of the Water
house family which has large
commercial interests in the
Hawaiian Islands, received a
letter from ". 0. Smith, Attor-
ney General of the Provisional
Government, in which he said:
While all are waiting and a
few of the supporters of the Pro
visional Government are restless
there is a deep and abiding
sentiment against returningto the
monarchy and determination
to maintain a good govern
ment that will not be suppressed
and which will show itself in
armed resistance whenever occa-
sion calls for it. As time passes
an overwhelming portion of the
intelligent element of the com
munity manifests more and more
that it will not submit to return
to the old order of things"

Consul-General Wilder
Speaks.
Extracts frOm HIS Interview.

He was asked. " suppose Min
ister Willis should request, on
the part of the Cleveland admin
istration, that the Provisional
Government step down and out s,
what would be the answer
The answer would be that the
request could not be granted.
The Provisional Government
would decline to entertain any
such proposal. But if Mr..
Willis should threaten the en-
ployment of force. what then!
I'm that case the Hawaiian Gov
eminent could have but one
course to pursue. 1t would
reply, "hat resistance to the
military or naval power OF
the United States would be use
less. But it would protest with
all its moral force against such
high-handed outrage. If COM
PEELED to submit to the restoration
of the Queen, it would have, but
one request to make. 1t would
say to Minister Willis: "Whea
you have by compulsion put
Queen Liliuokalani again upon
the throne, stand aside and let
events take their course" Unless
the government of the United
States backs up the Queen by
show of force, the restored Mon
archy could not last a day.
In the event of the Monarchy
being restored and then left to
stand or fall-then uuquestion-
ably there would be blood shed
and that the next revolution
would be sure to come just as
soon as the L. S. protectorate of
the Monarchy was withdrawn.

Henry N. Castle, Opens His
Mouth and Drops Lies.

New York, Nov. 16.-In letter
to the Tribune discussing Hawai-
ian affairs Henry n. Castle, a
native of the islands, says: 1.-The
proposition of the Cleveland
administration to restore the
ex-Queen by force is very start
ling to Hawaiians who know the
facts of the last ten years. What
startles them more than anything
else, however, is the queer story
which Gresham has solemnly
published as an accurate finding
of the facts of the late revol-
ution. Every eyewitness of the
real event will believe that
Gresham has been sadly led
astray. Either there were
great many facts which Blount
forgot to put in his report or
there are a great many things in
that report which Gresham over
looked. l cannot leave this sub
jeet without expressing my rep
rotation of the attempt now
making to impeach the credit
OF the dead captain of the
Boston and of ex-Minister
Stevens. Stevens was a man
who understood the true nature
of the forces which were con-
tending for supremacy in Hawaii,
and the diplomatic course which
he pursued was in harmony with
the principles which have been
laid down by American states
men in regard to Hawaii for forty
wears. Had the Cleveland adj
ministration brought but half as
much knowledge and intelligence
to bear upon the situation they
would not now be attempting to
plant heather monarchy upon
the ruins of fourishing Amer
lean civilization. .

The President concluded the
interview by saying that ne had
absolute faith in the accuracy OF
all conclusions drawn by Secre-
tary Gresham, and that Minister
Stevens and Capt. Wiltse had
committed an act of usurpation
and did a wrong to a helpless
power, which it was the duty OF
the Mnited States government to
undo.
Mr.. Pratt consented to relate
the substance of his interview
with President Cleveland for
publication by the Associated
Press as detailed above.

A person residing in this city
and who is supposed to be an
Associated Press Correspondent,
has been talking freely. He is
reported to have said, that he has
written enough matter to the
papers to impeach President
Cleveland. That as such Press
correspondent he knows that the
statements made by the Star the
other day purpoting to be the
words of Minister Willis, were
true. Also that Minister Willis
will be given his passport by the
Provisional Government.

Corrupt and Rotten

One day last week a Portuguese
who owns a store on the side of
Punchbowl, was arrested for sell
ing liquor or swipes, and was
charged at the Police Station for
selling liquor without
license. The matter seems to
be dropped, and the man has not
yet been prosecuted. Report
has it that upon the suggestion
of Portuguese lawyer the Gov
eminent did not prosecute the
prisoner, for the reason, that If
they did, the Government would
lose the support of the Port
uguese. SO under the eircum-
stances it was thought better not
to prosecute. Explain Tiser

Private advices received from
Washington, say, that the howl
set up by some of the papers in
the United States, is natural and
was expected. 1t is in one sense

reasons for restoring the Hawai-
ian monarchy, there is no doubt
reason to believe that the present
howl will cease, and that he will
be commended for his action.

and Mr.. Pratt. Mr.. Cleveland 5
grandfather having been a
brother to his mother. Mr. Pratt
had a previous acquaintance with
! Mr.. Cleveland, having often seen
him while he was at Albany as
Governor of New York. The
former gentleman has also family
relationship in the Hawaiian Isl
ands and feels very much exer-
cised at the policy toward the
islands enunciated in Secretary
Gresham 5 letter. He drove out
to Woodley this afternoon and
had an half hours talk with the
President on the subject. As
result of the talk he learned that
Mr.. Cleveland approves thorough

ham letter and al that is con-
tanned in it.
Mr.. Pratt has lived much IN
the islands and does not at all
agree with Secretary Gresham.
He stated to the President that
Mr.. Gresham's letter read to him
like a special plea of an advocate
for his cause. He said his state
ment that the deposition of Queen
Liliuokalani was accomplished
by aliens was sufficient to dis
credit the whole letter. to his
mind, for he had knowledge that
most of the leaders of the revolu-
ton were Hawaiian born and the
parents of many of them were
Hawaiian born, though of foreign
parents. He urged, also, that
the best natives approved of the
present government and only the
disorderly element amongst them
desired its overthrow.
He stated to the President his
belief that in order to re-establish |
Queen Liliuokalani upon the
throne it would be necessary to
disarm every white man in the Is
lands. He did not believe the
queen could be maintained on the
throne day without the influence
of the armed force or authority
of the United States, The pre-
sent government, he argued, was
in possession of all the arms and
resources of authority of the Is
land government; had its forces
we'll organized and disciplined
and was able to maintain itself
against all internal disturbance,
He thenquestioned the accuracy
of the statement that Minister
Stevens aud Capt. Wiltse had
been instrumental in serving the
revolutionists, and that the sue
cess of the revolution was Deepen
dent upon the aid they rendered
it. They did 10 more support it,
he asserted, than they had been
authorized by Secretary Bayard
to Minister Merrill in July, 1887,
for guardiance in similar period
of disorder.
At this point the President
asked Mr.. Pratt whether he
thought he had as good opportu-
mites of information on the sub
ject as he (the President) had
after a careful investigation and
study of the subject for eight
Mr.. Pratt replied that he
thought he had, since he had

Some years ago the writer of this article
was fishing from boat in Mississippi
sound opposite Biloxi, when, growing tired
Of piece of gum which she had been try
ing in vain to learn to like, she dropped ii
into the water. What was her astonish-
ment when within the next half hour she
caught fish with this identical piece Of
gum in its mouth. This is fish story, but
1t is absolutely true, and not SO very remark
able either when one remembers that there
were half dozen lines hanging from the
boat at the time, each holding tempting
bait, so that tho fish who had snapped up
the gum would be apt to linger near the
Turing snares and be eventually caught.
Surprising, though, that some one else
had caught this fish and found the gum, he
might have hastily concluded that fish of
this particular family-it was catfish
were addicted to the very vulgar habit OF
gum chewing, and II he had examined the
gum he would have further reasoned that
the fish had migrated from Mexico, as the
gum was resinous sap Of q Mexican tree.
Going still further, he might have sur
missed that as the fish obviously could not
go on shore for the gum the gum must &c
20 the f1sh; hence the tree either dropped
its life huid from branches overhanging the
sea or sent out into the water long sappy
roots, from which the catfish extracted the
gum.

q man VINO Played tire Hair OIL Trick
Upon Him TO Advantage.
In New England city not many miles
from Boston Ii an old quack doctor known
throughout the town for his large supply
of "chcek." He had no regular abiding
place, but picked up his lodgings around at
different cheap boarding houses and lived
on the profits of his patent medicines. He
spent good deal Of his time in certain
drug store, and, moreover, he was accus-
toned to 20 there every morning and use
the back shop to make his toilet In. He
had an old greasy bottle Of hair oil and q
brush and comb, which he kept in the shop
without leave from anybody. The pro
prietor got rather tired Of having him
around SO much, and therefore he resorted
to stratagem to get rid Of him.
He took the hair oil bottle, poured out
the oil and carefully replaced 1t with q
mixture Of thin fish glue and bay rum
Then he put the bottle back in its aecus
toned place.
The next morning the old quack showed
up, and after some cordial greetings to the
proprietor of the store he asked leave to use
the back shop, as was his habit
Certainly, certainly" responded thu
druggist; "the back shop is at your dis
posal."
Whereupon the old gentleman started In
to arrange his toilet. Pouring out liberia
dose Of the mixture In the oil bottle, h
rubbed it thoroughly over his head till hi
hair was completely saturated with it
| Then he carefully combed and parted hi
somewhat long locks, and placing his oil
stovepipe hat squarely on his head h
passed out. wishing the proprietor pleas
