PuNALuu, Feb. IL, 1894.
EDToR STAR: In the issue OF the
daily STAR OF Feb. LIST appeared an
article headed "Crumbs from Kau" and
signed by one "Qui Nivc."
This party's veracity is not beyond
question, as the following, which can be
sworn to by ma jority OF the residents
OF kau will attest.
In the first place, the luau held ut
Punaluu, on Jan. cost, was given in
honor of the first anniversary OF the Pro-
visional Government.
A subscription list with a heading TO
that effect, was carried by me around
the district, and among the subscribers
was "Qui Nive," who, after carefully
reading it, attached his signature for the
sum of 81.
He was heard to remark later in the
day, when some people were debating
as to the ACCESSIBILITY Of parting with
their hard-earned cash, 80 give dollar
and help the good cause along"
Knowing full well the object for which
the luau was given, he rushes into print
with a slanderous account OF it, placing
me in false light in the eyes OF public
opinion, and quoting me to the effect
that, financially speaking, catering to
the tastes of the multitude has its draw
backs and cannot be always calculated
upon to prove monetary benefit to the
protector thereof.
must emphatically deny ever having
made any such remarks, and brand the
author of them as contemplate falsi-
fer.
The residents of Kau can boast of hav-
ing among them Americans in the flesh.
Speaking of the financial benefits ac-
cruing to the hotel by reason OF its prox-
unity to the scene of the luau, | will
state here, with the permission OF the
manager, Charles Stone, that he rendered
the use OF the hotel to the people who
came from distance, and would not
accept any payment.
! left the hotel at IL 80 p. M, and up
to that time / had not seen any liquor
sold nor any indication OF anyone hav-
ing been indulging in the use OF it.
On SUNDAY, January 2lst, services
were held in the district church at Puma
luu, Rev.J. Kauhane officiating.
This unprincipled writer, "Qui Vive,'
AYERS that the meeting was one Tor the
formation of an order called the "Kau
Association Tor the Reclamation OF Fallen
| W OHtn, anu states llldU II ldrSe Hclu
is open on each island"
Ii this was original with him it would
not in any way tend to lessen the grev-
BUSINESS OF the offense, but being second
/ hand, it goes to show that he does not
confine himself strictly to his own pro-
life Imagination, but borroWs from
others.
Truly the vaporings of this individual
or httn inn IN. n urly
able degree.
as saying that he (Rev. Kauhane) had
advised the eX-Queen to be more cir
cumspect in her attitude towards the
residents.
The Rev. J. Kauhane told me that he
never made this assertion.
The Rev. J. Kauh@ne is an old and re.
spected citizen and his word can be re-
lied upon.
Now to give the public true account
of this "Qui Nive." As liar, he stands
pre-eminent, and his ability in this par
ticular gift is equalled only by his mora
depravity.
An association for the reclamation o
depraved morals would not be amisi
here and, at least, one subject could b'
assured in the event of "Qui Nive'
crawling out of his shell.
Owning to the fact that the STAR o
February LIST did not get here until FEB
ruary 9th, was unable to send this re
ply by the Hall, which left here Febru
airy 8th.
Trusting that you will give space t,
the publication OF this in your paper
