The Mass Meeting.

and foreigners gathered at Palace
Square last night, for the pur-
pose Of listening to the speakers,
who represented to them the
ideas of the prominent Hawai-
ians and their friends. Mr.. J.
E. Bush. who we are told-toour
great surprises running a
newspaper, took the trouble to
publish an extra, in which he
stated that some fellow by the
name of Emerson was going to
club some other fellow. Under
circumstances Mr.. J. E Bush,
who, if we can believe him-runs
a Hawaiian newspaper-staid ct
home, and encouraged by such
prominent foreigners, as Mr.. Mar
ques and Major Seward-foreign-
ers who always risk their necks
for the cause Of the Hawaiians-
he issued a terrible proclamation
In which he stated that the Ha-
waiians were being mislead etc.
by bad, bad, haOles like the editor
of the HoLoMUA, (who does risk
his neck in their seryices) and
Wundenberg and Ashford. Mr..
j. L. Bush evidently desires to
open a personal campaign. The
editor of this paper can accom-
modate him. But when he in
sinuates that the HoLoMUA is pur.
chased by Mr. S. NJ. Damon, he
exceeds the boundary of free
press. While he, like a jumping
jack, has been running from one
party to another, the editor of
this paper has been firm and
consistent in the line of one
policy since 1884. And that
policy has been, that Hawaiians
shonld rule Hawaii-nei. he has
never held government Office,
and he Eas-as Mr.. Bush
knows-been unsparing in his
criticism of any government here
which have been unable or
unwilling to follow and abide
with the sacred principles of gov
ernment by the people. More
than thirty men-all of good
standing and representing all
classes, called the mass-meeting
last night. If Mr.. Bush desires
to have his little say, he is en-
titled to it. He and the medium
sized potatoes who callthemselves
the Aloha Alma League" have
pfered and they have secured a
fght with the only paper that
ever stood up to the mark and
was ever backed from Hawaii
to Niihau by the Hawaiians.
But Mr.. Bush should not use
the name of the Queen. 1t
is not right and it is unauthorized.
Mr.. Bush does not speak for Her
Majesty, and it is a pity that
through his-and his haols
friends, the name of the sovereign
has been dragged into the contro-
versy, which undoubtedly exists
between the HoLoMUA the and
We are surprised to her it-a
newspaper edited by our religious
friend. The meeting last night
was a glorious success. Hawai-
ians and foreigners alike /
flocked together and listened
with the deepest interest to the
words of eloquence which flowed |
from the lips of the true friends |
of Hawaii. Mr.. Bush should /
have been there, and he should |
have opened his ears aud listen |

any more than was the absence |
of the rest of the so-ealled-but

Alma men. Judge Kaulukou call
ed the meeting and spoke as
follows:
To all of YOU, natives of Ha-
waii as well as foreigners, l wish
a very good evening. We have
been called together in this great
meeting to consider our rights,
personal and otherwise. As you
know, at the present time every
hing is not satisfactory. This
party that is now in power pro-
poses to hold a constitutional
