private letter in which the Ha
waiian Exhibit at the Midwinier
Fair was severely critizsd. The
BuUetin is able to DO its own
fghting-aud generally comes out
on top-but We consider it oar
duty to say few words about
the miserable affair which per
haps was intended rs an adyer
tisemeut for Hawaii aud has
turned out to be the worst adj
vertisemeut qq0inst Hawaii that
any Of cur enemies coald desire
The HoLoMUA gave lots Of space
and lots Of ink to show the peo-
pie here that the Hawaiian Ex-
hibit would be "A financial fzz!e
Mr.. I. W Hebron who Is the
agent, if rot tie promoter Of the
company til conducts the Ha.
waiian Exhibit had a grievance
and a libel suit against the editor
Of this paper and we consequent,
~ refrained from saying SO much
about the matter as we really
ought TO have done in honor to
truth ard justice. We did not
desire that orr criticism of the
scandalous affair should look as
instgated by personal feelings
or spite against Mr.. Hebron.
Now the Fair has gone on and
it has proven as a whole a mis-
erable failure. Next to the
Egyptian fake-which was closed
in bankruptcy, nothing has APP
preached the Hawaiian Village
in its attempt Of becoming an I'M
mitigaied swindle. We do not
listen 20 hearsay or to rrejudiced
evidence. We have inquired from
different people who have visited
the FAN; people of different po-
litioal idoee, lseorIo como of who
worship Thurston aud Hebron
and some who don't, but, the
answer from all is that the Ga-
waiian Exhibit is blot on the
fair name Of our Island Home, a
scandal t. the men and women
who call this country their own
and n disgrace to the men who
for their selfish ends exhibited
Hawaii as "mudho!c inhabited
by stomach-dancing strumpets -
The grind feature of the Hawai-
ian Exhibit is the hula. That
dance is forbidden here through
the laws passed by the fathers of
Thurston and company. The
vIleness of it has been used as a
cause for the late revolution
although everybody knows that
Queen Lilinokalani never tolerat.
ed a hula inside the Palace or
inside her private residences
The boat house hulas of Kala-
kaua, about which we hear so
much, were respectable in com
parsion with those exhibited by
Lorrin A. Thurston. tue Hawai-
ian Minister to Washington at
the Midwinter Fair.
The very worst specimens of
Hiwaiian womanhood have been
selected to do this performance
condemned so often by our i'm
maoulate missionary rulers.
Women who have spent most of
their time in the police-cells in
Honolulu on charges of drunk
and disorderly conduct. have been
