Away Without Papers.


As matter of law and custom
the British coaster Grandholm
ought to be in port As amatter
of fact, to which the law some
times reluctantly yields, the
Grandholm, her nose pointing
toward the north. is blowing the
sea. If there are clearance papers
aboard the Government officials
here say they do not know it.
However. John Rosenfelds Sons
say that the vessel was duly clear
ed. At any rate the coaster has
vanished from her bel tn at Mis-
sion No. 2 wharf.
There Is something mysterious
about the Grandholm now. When
II came from Nanaimo coal laden,
consigned to the Rosenfelds, she
did not attract any particular at
tention. Her cargo was dis
charged and then for some reason
Collector Wise and his deputies
became suspicious that some
where in the grimy hold opium
was stored, and they looked for
1t. 1t is hardly usual for the
Collector himself TO take a hand
in expeditions of the sort. but
this time he accompanied his
men. With Assistant Collector
Ruddell and Boarding Officer
Harker he searched the Graf;
from stem to stern. Whether or
not he got his hand upon any
thing more valuable than coal
dust is not related, but of this he
got plenty. and some Of it be
brought away.
Captain Messer naturally re-
his visit. albeit possibly
battered at the distinguished
character OF the visitors, and
took steps to prevent repetition.
In the night. it is affirmed. the
irandholm started for the Golden
iase. not waiting for farewells,
ior even for the formal leave that
; regarded as almost necessity.

We reprint from the Bangor

letter written to that paper by
Ellen H. McCully, widow of the
late Judge McCully. We regret
| to have to refer to a lady with
the seven head lines, used above,
but it is necessary to expose and
condemn the slanderous and
spiteful character of that clique

and position as the widow of re-

Monarchy. to have kept in her
own heart her i'll feelings against
the Hawaiians:
My attention has been called
to an article in your paper upon
Hawaiian affairs, which purports
to be the opinion of Mr.. Claus
Spreckels upon the situation at
the Sandwich Islands. Without
taking time or room to deny all
the misstatements and falsehoods
contained in the special there
are some of them, which, by
your courtesy, l would like to

too weakly yielded in 1887.
In order to carry her ends she
did not hesitate at bribery. The
queen comes of family OF chiefs,
not the highest, and who were
always poor. Upon the extinc-
ton OF the kamehamehas. kals-
kama was elected to the throne
and appointed his brother and
sisters his heirs. The elevation
spoiled the whole family. They
were not strong enough morally to
use the newly acquired power with
moderation and patriotic I'M
selfishness.
As soon as Kalakaua felt him
self securely seated on the throne.
he began to abuse his power and
to usurp authority. The revolu-
ton of 1887 checked him for
time only. He had forgotten his
promises made at that time and
the constitutional obligations i'm
posed upon him and was reaching
after unlawful power again when
he died.
His sister came to the throne
only to Guido her brother in the
stubborn determination to be-
come an autocrat From the
beginning of her reign, she meant
to have a new constitution, and
one which would practically
make her supreme ruler and des-
pot. All moves for constitu-
tienal government fell through.
The entire white population was
against a new constitution, or
nearly the whole of it. The
ordinary Kanaka doesn't know
what constitution is, nor has he |
an interest in such things.
When other and lawful means
for securing a new constitution
failed, the queen attempted
coup d'etat. There was a great
pretense of a native political or
ganizaticn carrying the draft of
constitution TO the queen and
asking her to promulgate it. 1t
was all pretense. The queen
had originated the idea and had
the constitution written herself.
1t is significant fact that that
constitution upon the failure to
promulgate it, was destroyed.
Its friends never dared show it.
The attempt was made at the
palace Immediately upon the
Propagation of the Legislature.
rhe Legislature has lasted eight

The masses do not want the |
queen restored. From my own
personal knowledge the native
masses are entirely Indifferent
about the matter. A popular
vote would be no true expression
of native sentiment, for the
ordinary Kanaka reflects the
opinion of the man who had his

biggest bribe. Ordinarily be

From her first appearance the audience

her profession demonstrates that the
perfect rendition OF her part springs
