a CRY FOR HELP.
Wanted an Able, Industrious
Lobbyist.

Jul AhgNN ohAANNAN -
can hardly restrain our tears
when we listen to the pitIful
whine which goes forth from its
columns, because the Royalists
have a strong lobby" in Wash
ington, and the P g. in spite Of
its numerous ambassadors have
have nobody who can take up
the fight for the Hawaiian oligar-
chy-beg pardon democracy as
the papercalls our present regime.
1t is OF course OF no use for US to
proclaim that Messrs. Parker
and Peterson, whose intentions
we happen to be in a position to
know, have only gone to San
Francisco and that the sole
object of .their journey was to
endeavor to make certain nego-
tiations which finally would help
to entirely extricate Mr.. Parker
from his financial difficulties.
If they succeed both gentlemen
will return to Honolulu on the
9th inst. per steamer Australia.
Mr.. L. G. Macfarlane went to
San Francisco, because his physi-
clan strongly advised him to go.
he having been suffering from
very severe attack of asthma, and
la grippe and it has been ascer
tained before that a change of
climate is the best remedy to
relieve his suffering. Mr.. Mac
farlane's poor health would sim
ply prevent him from the expro-
sure connected with a journey
across the American continent at
this time of the year. Mr. Ash
ford finally went to San Francisco
on certain legal businesss which
could not very well be transacted
through letters and he will return
by the China due here on Feb.
the 7th. Of course the Star is in
very pessimistic mood at
present and we don't expect that
the soothing syrup which we
have endeavored to administer
will have any effect whatsoever.
The medicine which the ambitious
Star editor desires is out
lined by the following sentence
in the following warning"
editorial: IF there was ever
the need of able expert,
enced industrious politicians at
Washington in behalf of the
Hawaiian democracy that needs
exists now in a supreme degree.
And Christian brethren do YOU
realize who the especially
able. experienced and industrious
politician is whom the editor of
the Star has in view? 1t is the,
not-to-be. Councillor Walter G..
Smith of Cornell, Tompkins
County, Ithaca, San Francisco,
Lower California, and Honolulu.
OF course we all know that the
ambitious gentleman was not an

took place-but what of it, He
has gathered so much informa-
ton from DR.. McGrew and Mr..
Emmeluth. and the shopkeepers.
and item makers around town that
he actually imagines that he was
here himself, and feels perfectly
competent to tell the Senate all
about it. Let us hope that
the Provisional Government will
