THURSToN'S ALLEGED LETTER

John f. Colburn tells the public by
word of mouth that he has a letter
from L. A. Thurston in which the
Commissioner says that annexation,
without the help of the royalists, is
doomed.
Various people have wanted to see
such a compromising message but all
Mr.. CoIburn will show is the date line
and the signature. Inasmuch as the
statements which Mr.. Thurston is said
to have made would, if published, in.
spire the "Queen's friends and de.
press her enemies, the refusal Of such a
faithful royalist as Colburn to give them
out in black and white is strong evi
dence that the letter will not bear the
construction which he wants the public
to place upon it
That some sort Of a missive from
Mr.. Thurston is in Colburn's hands
the STAR knows very well; but we are
warranted in the belief, while the ex
Minister Of the Interiyr pursues his
inexpicable course, that it is a very
harmless and non-committal writing

BISHOP WILLIS VIEWS.
A Correspondent Subjects Them To A
Calm Analysis.

EDITOR STAR;-In reading, the many
contributions to our local dailies on the
absorbing question Of Hawaiian politics,
the writer feels constrained to regret
the very plain dishonesty and lack of
manly sentiment in the discussions of
Civil Rights, which characterize the ut
terances of the pro-Royalists. 1t will
readily be conceded by every judicial
mind, that the advocacy of the past
regime" by its paid agents, sycophants
and such like, must in this liberal age,
and among tolerant men, be granted a
certain degree Of charitable forbearance
by the healthier body polite; but when
men like Bishop Willis, who pose in
every community as leaders Of thought,
and in moral ethics the expcnents of
what is pure and lofty in the moral and
mental life of man-does it not seem
fitting that they should know truth
wherever met and not contend against
it2 Should not they possess every day
common-sense as much as, or more so,
than their ordinary and less lettered
brethren2 Does Bishop Willis self
confidence urge him to formulate a new
nfallabilty, as instance his enunciation
in the Bulletin Of the nth inst, "Mis-
sionaries and their families to the third
and fourth generation should abstain
from meddling in revolutionary pro
ceedings in the countries to which their
fathers we're sent" How refreshing,
how novel and pharasaical doctrine,
how saving, by inversion if applied to
Egypt to-day.
Can the learned divine broadly assert,
apart from physical nature, that sue
ceeding generations, to the fourth degree,
must accept and abide in the condition,
constraint and disability, which as pro-
gress is perpetual, their forefathers
lived under7 In other words that a
carpenters descendants to the fourth
generations should not aspire above
carpentry-that the moral, mental and
political aspirations for progress and
development Of mankind can be retard-
ed or checked by his philosophy Such
doctrine is preposterous, and coming
from an admittedly educated source is
simply disingenuous.
1t is not the purpose Of the writer TO
challenge controversy with the Bishop,
but his proposition is broadly stated
thus: am man of learning as the
world knows | admit that the logic Of
facts and common sense must govern
all matters pertaining to human affairs.
l know that all healthy minds will
readily gauge the true inwardness of my
position, yet as an Englishman in whom
monarchy is Unborn and ingrained, and
as an adorer Of royalty l must stand
by my colors.
To conclude, Mr.. Editor, if we must
have royalty, for one would say, let
it be of the ring of sterlirg metal, but
of no baser sort; yet far better than all
commonwealth of those who have
toiled and builded, who have planted
and watered and reclaimed these islands
from the savage hand OF man and nature,
to whose industry and zeal every stone
and every tree is monument, whether
they be in the first or fourth degree
from the missionary fathers. Thank
ing you for your space. TRUTH.

GF the plotting Queen and her evil
clan Of intriguers we're banished by the
first steamer, there would be peace now
and annexation soon. No other coun.
try in the world would let its enemies
stay on its soil to scheme against its
government. In any other land the
Queen and her advisers would have
been lucky, when popular revolution
burst, to escape its fury with their lives.

self preservation in these islands, any.

BOURBON THEORIES.

In this paragraph Of letter TO
New York paper Guardian Davies sets
down a curious idea
Princess Kaiulani is, by constitutional
right, successor to the throne, and that
right can only be cancelled by the vote
of the Hawaiian nation or by the de.
fault Of the Princess herself.
This is the ancient Bourbon plea
that successful revolution makes no
legal change in the status quo ante.
1t is what led Louis XVIII to take no
account of the Napoleonic empire and
to write his reign down, when he first
came to the throne after Bonaparte'S
fall, as being IN its twentieth" year.
The laughter Of the world deferred
most succeeding Bourbons, official and
lay, with the one exception of Guardian
Davies, from committing the same folly.
In the case Of the guardian, the full
tether of the Bourbon pretence seems
to have been reached.
How like voice from the tomb OF
the French kings comes this refrain:
"Kaiulani's right can only be cancelled
by the vote Of the Hawaiian nation OF
by default Of the Princess herself" II
that is true, then Dom Pedro is yet the
real sovereign of Brazil, and Leo XIII
is the temporal monarch Of the myth
ical Papal States. Fortunately for good
government the truth is not in it. By
all modern precedents, in spite of the
fact that the strange leniency Of thi:
government has allowed the ex-Queer
to keep up share of royal pretenct
here, Kaiulanls "rights" are now null
and void. There is no longer a roya
constitution here and no throne tc
succeed to, and what is more there
went be.
