Mr. Bishop Specifies and Characterzes
Them.
Editor STAR AT your suggestion
| make note Of the characteristic un.
truths Of Charles Nordhoffs letter of
May %, which is spread upon your
columns to-. day Among these | do
not number his denial that he asked for
the protection of The American Minister,
although most people will be surprised
to hear it, as well as to learn that DIR.
| MCGrew was the first to move in the
matter
First as a notable untruth appears
his SHbbreSSio 5cri, in emitting the
Attorney Generals citation of the libel
lous statement made by him against
Messrs. Dole and Stevens. 1t charged
them with conspiracy to induce the
eX-Queen to abdiCate.
| Mr. n rlhohf appears to act in a
ICowardly manner in co ealing the
nature Of the SANDER charged upon
him, although
| Secondly, he reasserts that 'the
statement enclosed is absolutely true"
as to the alleged conspiracy of Messrs
Dole and Stevens Mr. Nordhoff does
not dare to publish that accusation any
where in these Islands, because to do
SO would put him at once outside the
scope of American officiil protection.
He is prudent This foul and baseless
SANDER against two eminent men, he
r keeps to retail abroad.
Mr. Nordhoh is to be credited with
the very qualified admission that he
was mistaken in saying that almost all
the Provisional Assembly signed the
, petition for the lottery. "Only a part
did So he says, the fact being that
not a single member of the present
assembly did SO, and that all of them
were violently opposed to it. This
| then is the Hiyd slanderous statement.
S FoWthy, he proceeds to give a
sample of one of the Lottery petitions.
In doing this, he carefully suppresses
the date, which was not later than
August, or five months before the
e Queens act in signing the Lottery Bill
on January 18th, an act to which he
o had declared that those petitions i'm.
PEELED her In this suppression of the
date is manifest his wlful and malig
r nant asperslon Of the noble Christian
t civilization Of Hawaii.
+, The following are facts of universe
notoriety AS soon as those secret
petitions, for the most part heedessly
or ignOrantly signed, came to the light
e instant war was opened upon thai
. lottery scheme The honorable anc
8 watchful supp rters of good morals ir
Honolulu were complete viCturs in their
} effort to ,array the Influential public
sentiment of the country against it
S Not paper of any prctention to de
. cency but sided with us. We had q
+ splendid ca'npaign. We we're PROUD
of the high and worthy record that uul
people made, as a clean and civilized
community, unjtedly denouncing thai
+ pirltiCal scheme.
And now comes this base and flul
o slanderer, and publishes in his Satanic
Herald, born in black mail, that the
business community of Honolulu act
n ually pushed the Queen into that in
+ fanny which she wlIfully chose in the
face of their IN st vehement protesta
tiOns.
1t is very rarely that any faIsiher sue
ceeds in earning Tor himself s infamo1,
a memory in the minds of whole p o.
pie as Charles Nordhof has done in
. Honolulu. He has vilely DETAINED the
high and hon lrable Christian Civlliza
ton of the Great American Colony in
Hawaii which he 81 bitterly hates.
FVHly, he says that the editor of the
HOlomHd was arrested for "critcising
' Mr.. Stevens when in fact it was fol
r charging him with piracy in selling the
Islands. NordhoG also says that the
editor Of Kd Leo twas arrested fol
criticising the VIGOROUSLY feeble finan
cial policy # the Government" wher
in fact it was for the specific false allie
CATION that the Minister Of Finance hac
been selling bonds at 20 per cent below
par And this is his proof that the
$ government is trying to "foter free
press"
Mr.. Nordhoh's long established babi
of classifying facts forbds any charitable
hope that he will mend his ways, Hi,
l letters will Continue to come back to us
n copious, voriegated, and h4ent, anc
f utterly devoid Of conscience or shame
SERENO +. BISHOP.
