AAclOPHOBIA.
Their last Straw.

Whenever the supporters OF
the government here feel that the
sympathy in the United States is
going against them. they resort
to the never failing remedy of
twisting the British lions tail
which act how cowardly it may
be done, is always followed BY a
triumphant SCREEN of the iingo-
eagle. The Honolulu correspond
emit to the Chronicle has taken bis
refuge to the said remedy and
used il in a rather large dose
The following editorial from the
San Francisco Chronicle is based
upon the latest correspondence
from Honolulu:
THE Hawaiian Rovalists still
clutch at straws and dream OF the
restoration of the monarchy.
which is as dead as Julius Caesar.
Two large meetings of Royallsts
We're held recently at Honolulu.
and the peculiar feature of each
was the presence of officers of a
British gunboat. That England
would like to see the ex-Queen
restored is certain but thus far
British representatives have not
openly attended meetings of the
native conspirators. 1t would be
we'll for the British Government
to investigate the acts Vf these
Naval officers who. under its uni
form. lend aid and comfort to
Hawaiian plotters
The two large royalist meetings
which lately have been held.
according to the Chronicle, are
rather ancient history but that
British officers were present in
any fficial or semi official cap
acity is simply lie. An Amer
lean Admiral with staff was pre-
sent on both occasions. In fact
the last meeting was called in
the day time to enable Admiral
Walker to see who were there
and how many.
The British officers have kept
extremely neutral and decidedly
avoided all interference or even
expression of opinions since
their arrival. Can the same
be said in regard to the American
officers? Have we not time and
time again noticed the disgrace
full sight of stump speaking
ward-politicians dressed in the
uniform of the United States
navy ,addressingpubl assemblies
and openly criticizing their Com
mander-in- Chief. the President
of the United States. And when
ever then did the Chronicle cor
respondent denounce such ua-
dignified acts or call for an in
vestigation by the naval depart
ment. Wasn't there fellow
named Cochrane who a short
while ago had the unparalleled
impudence to address a public
assembly, and say words to the
effect. that although he was not
authorized (sicD to speak on be-
half of the President of the
United States, be yet felt con-
fdent that the president has seen
his error in his Hawaiian politics
and would act differently In the
future. = And in spite of such a
gross breach of etiquette. disci-
pline and common decency the
Chronicle correspondent, who it
is said edits the Star, had nothing
to say. except praising the lofty
sentiments of the brave Captain
of marines. Now, that man
would have been court martialed
and cashiered in shortorder in any
navy in the world where there is
discipline and proper spirit. In.
the American navy, it seems that
those qualities are not to be
found.
As far as the British officers are
concerned they have never mixed
in politics here or lent comfort
to Hawaiian plotters' They
have attended strictly to their own
business, job which with adj
could be initiated by the
Chronicle Star man. And then |
he should use Long Life Whiskey |
as a sure remedy for acute
