SHELDON ARRESTED
KENYON AND NOKEII. ARE
THE REAL EDITORS.
Il Bit of History, and the Con-
nectiOn OF "Friday" and
his Companion with
the Paper.

| Yesterday afternoon when Johr
Sheldon, the alleged editor of the
Holomua, was before the Advisory
Council on Il charge Of contempt
G. Carson Kenyon, or Friday" a:
he is better known, was present
that is, he was present for a mo
ment, or long enough to answer one
question which was put to him by
a member of the Council, and then
he made himself a very scarce arti.
Gle. He had very good reason
for getting out. He was afraid that
he would be placed under arrest
also, as there is but little doubt
that he or Norrie wrote the con-
temptuous articles for which Shell
don was arrested.
Although Kenyon's name has
never appeared in the paper as the
editor of the English portion, he
has been connected with the sour
rilous journal ever since it changed
management some months ago.
The present owners have placed a
dummy at the head, in the person
of Sheldon, who is supposed to be
the editor, but as a matter of fact
he has no more to do with the pol
icy of the paper and of the conduct
of the English portion than the boy
who delivers it.
K.enyon's connection with the
miserable sheet was proved some
time ago when cratic Francis
Harding was arrested for sending
a challenge to the editor. Sheldon
caused the arrest of the young
man, who admitted that he was
after Kenyon, and not Sheldon.
During the progress of the trial,
Sheldon was placed on the stand,
and, when questioned by Harding
as to the real author of the English
articles, he would not answer. He
admitted, however, that he received
them from outside sources.
Friday" has assistance in edit
ing the English page. His assist
ant is no less an individual than
J. Norrie, whom nobody seems to
know much about. He is hanger
on of Sam Parker's, and he used to
loaf around the Police Station
under the Wilson regime, and it
was reported that he was on the
salary list in some capacity. Nor
RE seems to be proud of his con-
nection with the polyglot sheet,
and is always boasting about what
he will do. He remarked the other
day that as martial law is over he
would turn in and roast the Gov
eminent and everybody connected
with it.
These two unsavory persons have
been abusing respectable people for
months. Nobody is safe from their
attacks, and any person who is
anti-royalist is looked on as an
enemy and treated accordingly.
AS to the ownership of the paper
the public will be surprised to
know that it was sold to and is
now nominally owned by Joe Hele-
luhi, the coachman of the ex-
Queen. When Wilson was mar
shall. he opened the preliminary
negotiations with Mr.. Waller the
then owner, and then the matter
was turned over to Kenyon who
completed the arrangements for
the sale. The paper was then
turned over to Heleluhi.
The foregoing group of names
will naturally suggest that the real
owner of the sheet is the ex-Queen
and that is considered by those
who know to be the case.
THE OBJECTIONABLE MATTER.
Appended will be found two sample
paragraphs which appeared in the
Holomua on Tuesday last:
Come, then, great Republic, and
make this great and glorious conquest
and let the handful of bankrupt ad.
venturers dictate to you and persuade
you to commit an infamy which will
make the cheeks of the coming gen
erations blush for their fathers.
After careful perusal of all the
newspapers bearing upon the Hawai-
ian situation it becomes more anC
more evident that the five commits
sioners under Thurston's management
are sailing under false flag and try
ing to gain their point under falls,
pretenses. Such q deceitfuI attitude
is really very childish and will Ger
tainly not be approved by the Ameri
can public, when it learns that thu
Provisional Government does not hole
office with the sanction of the nation
or in anyway represent popular feel
ing or sentiment, but simply is tn
sickly child of the union between Mr.
