THEY SHOUT AND SHUTTLE.

hoN luSy siulIill, Vic Quar- duo us |
prompter in history! They do not
venture to meet the argument of the
BULLETIN, however. This paper did |
not affirm that everything was lovely
and of good report under the mon
archy. 1t did and does maintain,
and can prove, that the issue of reli-
gion and morals raised injustifcation
of the late revolution was only a
base pretext for the attempted theft
OF this nation. Many of the leading
spirits in the movement were avowed
lottery men, who would support a
lottery to-day so far as principle
only is involved. Mingling with the
insurgents whose anti Hawaiian ran
cor was intensified and intlarned by
the Queens signing of the lottery
and opium bills, there was rabble
comprising the element that had
been in several reasonable con-
spiracies within two or three years,
there were scores who would vote
for opium licensing every chance
they got, and some who had served
terms in the penitentiary for unlaw
full dealing in opium and for gam
bling. During the period of martial
law maintained by the Provisional
Government with volunteer forces,
there could at almost any hour be
seen from a single point Of view,
in the Government yard, church
members and ex-convicts parading
with rifles and fixed bayonets for the
intimidation of the Hawaiian peo-
pie. If the Star wants names and
athdavits it may be accommodated.
With regard to social morals the
motley crowd that rallied to the
overthrow Of the constituted autho-
rites would just as poorly stand in
vestigation of individual records.
And the case in this respect is worse
for the party of high moral preten
sions, from the fact that many of
the insurgents, among those who
were given civil or military con-
spicuity by the revolt, had led lives
of the foulest example in point of
morals to the natives.
Chafe and fume as the Star
and its coterie may over getting
back part of the measure they mete,
barring the malignant falseness Of
their emanations, they cannot pro-
duce anything of more value as
argument for their cause than
"hypocritical bombast"-the epithet
has evidently struck home between
the joints of their harness-so
long as they continue their at
tempts at justification Of politi-
cal outrage by the alleged moral
delinquencies of dead and living
representatives Of the monarchy
The dead whom they assail with
such bitterness was the creature ol
their own party, while their assaults
on the living are either condemned
by or condemn their very recent
fawning sycophancy toward her
They have to acknowledge that the
abominable lottery business came
from the very country to which the.
would fly for relief from such insti
tutions. Was the power of the lot
terry suppressed in the United States
however, by riot and insurrection
Did the revolutionists imagine tha
after they had secured the transfe
of these islands to the United States
all peril of the establishment Of
state lottery here would be abolish
eds When one OF the Dakotas ha'
only just saved itself from the insti
tuition by narrow margin, after
struggle in which its opponents ha'
all the advantage of the whole mora
forces of the Union, it would be tn
height of absurdity to suppose tina
the body polite of Hawaii, as it
composition is known, could wit
the lower franchise inevitable unde
the United States flag successful
resist siege by the power Of tn
lottery grown immensely wealthy o
American soil. Failing for an al
swer for what this paper had sale
the Star writers resort to abuse c
the BULLETIN for what it ha
not said. 1t had not accuse
Mr.. Thurston of completely i
the lottery scheme, Not fo
the first time although previousl
unanswered we showed that tn
origination Of the lottery was nc
with the monarchy, and in proc
showed that its chief propagandii
was secretary OF an organization q
the head OF which was Mr.. Thurstol
