published we say next 20 Mrs
Dole's letter. SAYS about
the men and women whom this
community has learned to honor,
revere and love. The missionary
tone of the letter IS conspicuous
It IS evidently wrong in the eyes
of the reverend writer to wrong
a woman and rectify the wrong
by marrying her. Such, step IS
only taken at the earnest request
Of the missionaries SAYS this
hypocrital correspondent. Ye
gods. it would evidently be bet
ter TO follow the examples of our
missionaries, aud like the Smith,
Bailey. Alexander, and many
others put the stamp of bastardy
on the forehead of any child and
then 90. to church, pray and
praise the Lord and-marry
some nice American girl.

But we unhesitatingly advocate
and counsel that the men and

characters and good names OF our
families should be stamped out
without more mercy than that
shown towards a centipede or a
scorpion.

a Convention.

The latest proposition OF the
Provisional Government is to
call a constitutional convention
which is to be empowered to frame
a Few constitution and new gov
eminent. The idea is of course
as much of a fraud as anything
which heretofore has been done
by the revolutionists for the pur-
pose of bamboozling the Hawai-
iaus. 1t is the intention to form
the convention from the present
councils with an addition of ten
members to be elected by voters
registered on the grand register
of the country. This apparently
might lead the people to think
that general representation was
granted and that the proposed
government would be a truly po-
pular one but when we remember
thatonly ten representatives efthe
people will be allowed while the
present government will retain
eighteen, it is easily seen that
the people will simplylnot be sin
it,. If the government and the
annexltionists really desire to
learn the will of the people, they
should grant a general vote for
members of the convention. If it
is true that there are a majority
back of Mr.. Dole and his crew
why do they hesitate in taking
a step which will gain them the
respect of the world and streng
then them immensely in their
foreign and domestic relations?
But the American League will
never tolerate convention elect
ed on representative and popular
principles. The Star always
st ties that the opposition has no
right to be heard and that only
the domin mt party shall decide
the future of our country and of
course the councils will never
dare to hold a different opinion
from the League. The japanese
and perhaps even the Chinese
may also want to be heard at
such a convention and who is
going to refuse them? We con-
slider anyhow that the proposition
is premature, 1t will be we'll for the
Councils to go slow and remain
as they are until they learn what
actions the United States and
the Treaty powers will decide on
in Hawaii. A few weeks or per-
haps few days will settle the
final affairs of our country and it
will be advisable for our wise
Councillors to keep their brains
quiet and their shirts on in the
meantime.

A Proved Record

In the correspondence bet1een
Mr.. Willis. United States Repr,
sentative in Honolulu, Admiral
Skerrest, and the DEPARTMENT Of
State in Washington, some of the
causes Of Admiral Sksrrett's remov-
al from the command on the
Hawaiian station TO that on the Asia
tic, are indicated. Ga Nay 81
1898. the Admiral wrOte:-"As |
stated. ! am Of the opinion that the
Provisional Government is solidly
and firmly established. and that
they are bringing quiet and
contentment TO the islanders. "
On June Is, 1898. he wrote:-I
must inform the Department that
the stability and solidity Of the
Provisional Government is not
considered to be all that had im-
pressed me 50 favo"rSbiy. II
would appear that the iron heel
of military law is really what serves
to keep the Provisional Govern
ment in authority. One Of the
Government officials said 10 Minis-
ter Blount that he considered the
condition Of affairs here as bad as
it have ever had been" A month
later the Admiral Surely,
the Government they now give the
people is the best they have ever
had. | believe in their eventual
success, and have implicit faith IN
it, Under the date of Sept. l.,
1898, Secretary Herbert notified
Admiral Skerrett that he had mis-
construed instructions, and
directs him to afford TO
British subjects and property such
protection as has always been
accorded by vessels of American
fleets to the subjects of Her
Britannia Majesty. and the pro-
perty under like circumstances in
the absence of British vessels.
The next telegram, under date OF
Oct. 9, marked confidential" di-
reefs Admiral Skerret to transfer
his flag to the Boston at San
Francisco and proceed there with
his personal staff by first mail
steamer. 1T is the intention, "
he says, "of the department to
transfer you to the command of the
Asiatie station. A similar tele-
gram Of the next day directs Adj
miral Irwin to proceed to Homo
lulu. The instructions to Admiral
Irwin do not appear in the bud

is the following paragraph in a
letter from Admiral Irwin to the
Department, dated Honolulu,
Nov. III have carefully
studied the Instructions of the
Department; they are perfectly
clear to me, and will be carried
out to the best of my ability. !"

Political Infamy.

We would desire to change our
pen for a pair of tongue yet because
the subject which we feel called
upon to approach is of such a
nature that any decent man feels
disguised by beingforced to touch
it any missionary or literary
scavenger of course will gloat in
wallowing himself in the indies
cribable filth. We have had &C.
casion before to give some space
and attention to that man Serene
E. Bishop who calls himself a
Christian and a servant of Christ.
The wholesale COMBINATIONS of
the Hawaiian women published
by him in the N. Y. Independent
has made him in spite of his age
entitled to public fogging. The
cowardly and base attacks on
men. who differ from him
in political opinion to Mr..
Blount and now published to the
world in Blount's report will
cause accounting to be asked
which will make the hoary-
headed sinner tremble in his
boots. But the letter which APP
peared in the ". 7. Sun in the
same issue in which the letter
from Mrs. Anna G. Dole is pub
lished, breaks the record of
Infamous policy and political
infamy yet noticed in this coun-
try. Mark, we cannot say for
sure. that the communication in
question is written by this Very
reverend Serene E. Bishop. The
coward always stab his enemy
in the back and in the dark
and Consequently the coward who
blackens the reputation of our
best citizens and their familie, in
the n. Y. Sun does not sign his
name to his dastardly deed. The
Sun is perhaps the only news
paper in the United States $50

alism-which would open its

are running in the columns
of his paper. Whoever wrte
the letter. which we refer to, in he

The recent cold snap has greatly injured
the fruit and vegetable crops of this section.
Several of our farmers had corn up, and
1t is said that it was not killed, but OILY
nipped. It will come again.
The Bible is true: when the wicked
rule the people mourn" Everybody seems
to regret the recent excitement and trou-
BILE caused by the killing at Darlington.
1t seems to be pretty well agreed that the
Dispensary Law is failure, and that the
manner of Its enforcement has conduced
to make it failure. No law can be made
a success against which 30 many of our
citizens are open in their denunciation aud
opposition, and which depends for its en-
forcement upon spies and constables, who
gre working for money, and not for the
peace and veal of the citizens of the State.
The law as now undertaken to be enforced
Is surely failure, and the sooner it is 80
regarded the better for our people and the
cause OF prohibition. Would it be saying
too much to declare that in this instance
the remedy is worse than the evil" I
am positively sure that we are not being
benefited by the condition of affairs as they
now exist We have no peace. We have
no prosperity. We have no hope Of either
so long az We are striving the one against
the other. Suppose We were 10 stop all
this strife, would we not greatly displease
the devil, whose purposes are servei by
our chickering's and vituperations Would
not the angels rejoice to see us all working
harmoniously together for our mutual
prosperity and peace, and for the elevation
of our people, for the betterment of man,
for the development of our resources, and
the advancement Of the cause of religion ?
