How long, o Lord how long?
How long will the covert insults
of the Advertiser to the COM
mander and officers of the Amer
lean navy stationed here, be
allowed to continue unrebukedl
In this mornings issue of the
Advertiser in connection with a
fake story of the "Royalists
expected troops ashore yester-
day" the writer closes his canard
with an insult to the boys in blue
by saying:
THE most probable explana-
ton (why the U. S. troops did
not GOMEZ seems to be the in
clemency of the weather. The
Admiral was afraid the gallant
tars would get their feet wet. "

Runors.

From time to time the annexation
organs print some very wild rumors
and accuse the royalists of making
them. As rule no royallst ever
even heard of the rumors before he
read them in the columns of he
Star o -Aduertiser and they are
generally a surprise to hint
would be interesting if the Adrer-
tiser would state next time it is
going to print royalist rumor, the
source from which it gains it. We
are anxious to know the Royal
lst (?) who is filling the reporters
of the P. G. organs and We beg them
TO state his name unhesitatingly.
Ten to one that he is unknown as
a Royalist among our friends
The reported poisoning of the sold
iers a few days ago didn't have
much effect although it came out
in time for the outgoing mail. The
Star made very little capital out of
it and the Advertiser hesitated to
accuse the royalists of having done
the distardly act although it hint
ed that of course it wasn't unlikely
that 1t was royalist plot. This
morning private of company E
writes letter to the Advertiser in
which he says:
Filth again reigns supreme IN
the kitchen. 1t was owing to moth
ing else that the supposed attempt
ed poisoning was due"
This solution" of the s'plot'' is
not very nice to the fastidious
Advertiser man but it ought to be
a lesson to him to give q wide
berth in the future to the rumors
which he claims are floating in the
air, read the HoLosuA. study its
news and be wise.

The Grand Inquisition.

The Advertiser seems to approve
Of Mr. W. o. Smiths conduct IN
Thee Fl. Davies We must com
pliment the morning organette on
Its liberal views. We thought that
Its editor had imbibed some liberal
ideas while studying IN Germany
but it was perhaps in Russia that
he was. The learned Attorney
General according to the advertiser
was justified in sending for Mr..
Davies in the peremptory manner
used by him and also justified in
publishing the result of his inquisit-
ion. The manner in which Mr.
Smith saw fit to present the inter
view to the public can be seen from
the tone used in the Star which used
Mr.. Smiths information under the
scare-heading. ''Theo H. Davies
on the rack" 1t is safe to say that
if Mr. Davies had had the slightest
notion of the purpose Of Attorney
General Smiths invitation he
would not have gone near him
and what would the learned At
torney have done then? We know
of nothing in the laws of this
country-not even those remarka-
BILE products of P. G. brains
which gives an Attorney General
power to send for people, question
them and otherwise annoy them.
If Acknowledgement Smith suspect
ed Mr.. Davies of treason it was his
duty % arrest him in a proper
manner and then take his
chances for damage suit but simply
to assume the role of grand inquisit-
or will hardly be approved or
allowed by the liberty-loving peo-
pie in the country.-If the Attorn-
ey-General desired to read a certain
newspaper fake to Mr.. Davies he
should have acted like a gentleman
and called on Mr.. Davies. This
gentleman is so we'll known for his
politeness and courtesy that we
have no doubt that he would have
listened patiently to Mr.. Smiths
complaints and actually RETAINED
from giving him the kicking which
his unparalleled stupidity so fully
entitled him to. The use which
Mr.. Smith made of the interview
through his mouth piece the Star
is only another instance of that
lack of tact and common decency
for which he has been noted since
the day he ordered British subject
NAL treated and abused at the
Police Station.

The reports from the Mud
Winter Fake is not very en-
couraging for the Hawaiians who
were induced by Mr.. Thurston to
go there-and get stranded. The
whole company that went up can
be expected back by an early

passage. The whole fair is
described as a muddy fake from
beginning to end solely instituted
and carried out as a cheap ad-
vertisement for that interesting
specimen of humanity Mike de
Young.

A number of our dearly be-
loved friends who worship under
the "spy-tower" of the Central
Union Church, are mourning the
loss of dollars and cents. They
did not actually put up the coined
representatives of the golden
American eagle or the silvery
Hawaiian King. but they did
allow him to get lumber, nails
and other materials with which
a house can be built. Annex

In Command at Hawaii.

is now in command OF the United
States naval feet at the Hawaii
an Islands. is one of the typical
sailors Of the old navy. bat has
kept himself well abreast of the
recent developments of the ser
vice. He was but Is years of age
when he saw his first service as
midshipman with the feet off
Vera Cruz, toward the close of
the Mexican war, since then he
has done duty in every quarter
of the globe and has gained con-
siderable fame for gallant and
meritorious services.
The outbreak of the civil war
found him at Pensacola, with the
rank of lieutenant. and be Is
said to deserve at least equal
credit with General Slemmer for
saving Fort P ckens after the
Federal forces found it impossi-
bic to hold the Pensacola navy
yard. Pickens was the one
stronghold on the mainland from
the Chesapeake to the Rio Gran
de over which the flag of the
Union never ceased to float.
While attached to the Wabash
Irwin bore a creditable part in
the capture of Port Royal and as
commander of a gun detachment,
ashore in, the bombardment of
Port Pulaski. After his promo
ton to lieutenant commander, he
was for a time executive of
Dupont's fiaghip, the Wabash,
but subsequently received COM
mand of the Pensacola of the
west gulf blockading squadron
under Farragut. His last sea
service as captain was In COM
mand Of the same vessel in the
Pacific squadron. After that he
was stationed at Mare island and
San Francisco as president OF
the examining and inspecting
boards until his promotion to
his present rank May Is. 1891
when he was assigned by Secre-
tary Tracy to the command of
the Mare Island navy yard.
Admiral Irwin was born at
Pittsburg April Is, 1882. His
father sat in congress for term
and was afterward minister to
Denmark, whittier his son, then
lad of IL, accompanied him.
While in Copenhagen the boy at
tended the Royal Danish Naval
school returning to his country
in time to accept an appointment
as midshipman in 1S47. His
brother, Robert Irwin, is Ha-
waiian minister and immigration
commissioner in Japan, appoin-
ted by Liliuokalani originally,
and continued by the provisional
government in the same place.
The admiral is of medium sta
ture and sturdy build and still in
the enjoyment OF excellent health
and vigor. He will be due for
retirement, under the, law in
April, 1894.
The HoLoMUA vote s
its appreciation of the command
ing qualities of Rear Admiral
Irwin while here at Honolulu and
his thoroughly American manner
of conducting his business with
both Loyalists and Provisional
Government people. Admiral
Irwin is g-nleman and an officer
of whom the United States Navy
may feel justly prond.

Those Nominations.

We fully agree with the Adrer-
tiser that it is piece of imper
Thence for any insignificant and
secret political organization
to assume the right to dictate
to the government. We expect
that the German league will have
man nominated and as the Star
always claims that the leading
Chinese are faithful annexa-
tionists, we cannot see any good
reason why they should not be
allowed a voice in the govern
ment to which they contribute
a great deal more money in taxes
than all the members of the
league put together. The league
has nominated Mr.. D. B. Smith
to q seat in the Advisory
Council. As we have said In a
former issue it is perfectly
immaterial to US who sits in the
Councils, and we find therefore
no cause to criticise the selection
of Mr.. Smith. If the Annexa-
ton club also should nominate
him, we suppose that he will be
elected to the councils-if they
are yet in existence-and it will
then be time enough to analyse
whom Mr.. D.B. Smith represents
and what particular interest he
will advocate. He may possess
some very great hidden qualifca-
tions which will make him an ex-
cellent legislator, ibut of course
these'qualifcations so far have,
we presume, only been presented
to the League-and that, we must
remember, is very secret and very
deep institution. The Star does
not believe that anybody outside
of the annexationists should ever
be allowed to vote or to have
voice in the affairs of the country.
We presume that the Star would
find it perfectly legitimate if the
Democratic party should refuse
to grant the Republicans a vote,
because the Republicans are not
in favor of the Democratic gov
eminent. That would undoubted-
ly simplify matters, great
deal all over the world, if the
minorities were deprived of
representation, but in Hawaii
the difference is that the tempo
rary outs are the great majority,
and the temporary ms a very
insignificant minority. However
Mr.. Smith of the Star will find
out that things in this country,
never mind what our future is
will never be shkaped according
to his ideas, and if he remains
here a short while longer, he
will yet see an electoral snow
storm, which will politically
bury his dearly beloved allies
from the learned Attorney Gen
eral to the tinpot-making
president of the Star company.
Who by the way does the editor
of the Star desire to see in the
Councils-besides himself? He
is evidently dissatisfied with the
present members of the govern
ment, because, as he says they
do not represent the rank and
file. But who is the rank and
file! We plead ignorance as to
the existance of that worthy
body-and so does the tax
collector. After all, perhaps the
only way to gain information.
which We seek, is to advocate the
proposition in this mornings
advertiser. We therefore say:
publish the names of the members
of the secret leaguei

Boycott.

to any stranger who has closely
watched the affairs in Hawaii
since the revolution, that the
people who are loyal to the law
full government have never organ
lied, and instituted regular and
properly regulated boycott The
annexationists have adopted that
measure long ago. They have
in their business relations as
shown done all in their power to
injure parties who differ from
IN them political opinion. They
have waged war against business
houses as well as against private
indiyiduals-in fact their boycott
has been complete. We believe
that the time has now arrived
when the great mass of the peo-
pie should adopt retaliatin g
measures, and that distinction
should be made between friend
and foe. Why should the loyal
people trade with, and spend
their money with men who not
alone are directly responsible for
the depressed state of affairs, but
who daily attempt to inquire and
damage the nation and the coun-
try. The Hawaiians are prin-
cipally cash-buyers, and even if
their custom is comparatively
small, it is of great Importance
to most of the shop-keepers in
town. We encourage all Hawai-
ians to only trade with men, and
firms who have remained loyal to
the cause of Hawaii, and to cease
all patronage of stores, the own.
ers of which have assisted in
overthrowing the Hawaiian self
government. and shamefully
attempted to deprive the Hawai-
ians of their country and their
flag. A boycott has often been
considered illegal, but there are
occasions when the illegally
ceases, and the measure becomes
both proper and advisable and
!ustifiable. A decision by the
Pennsylvania Supreme Court gives
an illustration as follows:
Philadelphia, Jan. 2.-Justice
Dean, in the Supreme Court, to-
day delivered an opinion which
defines the legality of boycott.
1t was in the case of George NJ.
Cote against Hugh Murphy and
others, from the Common Pleas
Court of Allegheny county, and
the decision reverses the judg-
ment of the lower court. The
plaintiff obtained 81 500 dam
ages from the defendants on the
ground that the latter "by unlaw-
full and successful conspiracy
injured him in his business.
The defenda hts were members
of the Planning Mill Association
of Allegheny county and of the
Pittsburg Building Exchange.
The plaintiff and six other dealers
refused to join the defendants in
boycotting contractors who con-
ceded to the demand of strikers
In May, 1891, and the members
of the associations then refused
to sell them material. In revers-
ing the judgment the Supreme
Court decides that when trade
associations boycott contractors
and dealers who encourage strikes
and concede to the strikers
demand and when such associa-
tons extend such a boycott
among other disinterested dealers
such boycott is legal.
1t will be noticed that the
learned Judge decides that there
are instances where the boycott |
is legal, and we don't know of |
any more reasonable ground for
carrying it out than the Hawai-
ians have against the enemies of
their independence and them
selves. We shall in a coming
issue furnish the names of those
dealers who sra enf;tled IN tba

Notice to the Public.

There is an article offered for sale
labeled Roberts Odorless Dsinfectant,
manufactured by the Crescent Chemical
Co., OF Wheeling. The undersigned
prepared and labeled the article by
order OF Mr. W. J. w. Cowdsu. When
Mr.. Cowden got the control OF the sales
he put the price up TO our citizens near
double what they had been paying for
il for fifteen years, and what Mr.. Cow
den had been paying for it himself for
years. | told Mr.. Cowden thought he
could not get that price from our citi-
zens. In reply, Mr.. Cowden said il he
could not get that price he would keep
it,; the people must have it and let them
pay for It. The people would not buy
il at that price, and said il was another
trust formed. After Mr.. Cowden kept
it for four months, | offered TO buy
what Mr.. Cowden had if he would sell it
to me for fair profit, spot cash down,
so that l could supply the great number
of persons that stopped mo on the
streets that wanted it for sick rooms.
Mr.. Cowden named price that
would give him a profit OF one
hundred and twenty per cent by the ton
and OF course did not buy it at that
price. On the 18th day OF June, 1891,
Mr.. Cowden stored large quantity of
il in the basement OF the old Court
House and quantity Of it is there yet.
On the 9Th day OF last April ssked Mr..
Cowden not TO put on sale any of that
dislnfectant with my name on it. as l
thought the boxes 1t is 10 are worth
more than the contents. Mr.. Cowden
said it was good yet; ho claimed more
for it than l do. l started again this
spring aud put out several thousands of
circulars, trying to get nv old trade
back again, and one of the men who was
out with circulars and selling q good ar
ticle, said he met Mr.. Cowden on the
Island, and be told him that he could
get that disinfectant for considerable
less than Roberts would sell it 10 him.
The man bought some OF Mr.. Cowden'
! stock, and has been selling it and usiug

know l will not guarantee the article
