EDITOR HoLoAUA:
JUSTICE

L or mock nerolcS, insane
driveling, and absurd pharisee-
ism, those who act, think and
write for the P. G. take the palm
aud are making an unenviable
record for themselves in this
country.
When President Dole in his
lamely labored composition adj
dressed to Minister Willis de-
Ginning to relinquish his usurped
powers, with a mock heroism and
sort of falstaffian humor, he
states that he recognizes no
earthly authority except that of
the "brave men" who put him
where he is.
Did Dole think hat the potent,
grave and reverend Senators, of
the United States would be de
ceived by such claptrap, or was
he simply footing to the rogue S
gallery of flibusters who are
playing such lively farce with
the peace, dignities and right of
this nation.
Brave men, indeed; arrant
towards and poltroons all of them,
who never would have dared to
have appeared in open treason
if they did not know that the
Boston sailors were landed to
protect them in their refarious
scheme. All the known records
of pirates, buccaneers and revo-
lutionists have never furnished
such an inglorious chapter Of
cowardice and dishonor as
characterized the piracy of jan
uary IL 1898 in Hawaii.
And then Mrs. Dole, consort
of the President writes to friend
in the U. S. with a mawkish
sentimentality speaking of their
holy cause Of liberty the
righteous wrath" of the Amer
lean people against Cleveland
and the "disgraceful deed" ex
pected from the U. S. navy.
What hypocritical hash Is it a
''holy cause of liberty to tram
pie upon the liberties of hither-
to free people and infict upon
them a despotic governm ent that
knows no constitution, and whose
naughty usurpation is dominated
by a turbulent clique of alien
adv nturers; whose government
is more despotic than that of
Russia and appears determined
to suppress the native Hawaiian
in their own land! Is it a
righteous wrath for the Amer
lean people in pursuing their
party politics to denounce Presi-
dent Cleveland for his honorable
attitude in trying to rectify a
political crime which had been
committed under cover of the
American flag. and which would
have damaged her standing In
the international comfy of
nations. Ought not rather Mrs.
Dole and the wrathy American
people be ashamed of themselves
for their attempt to shield a
crime which has been denounced
by the best writer's In America.
Next comes q crank who writes
an editorial in the Advertiser of
the 10th. commenting on an ar
ticle in the Japan Herald. With
refreshing naiveness he is sur
prised at any one proposing and
advocating an unprovoked and
wanton aggression of a strong
power upon weak one. in vio-
lation of international law, the
usages of civilised people, and
the principle of national justice"
referring of course to the p. G.
But what he deprecates as against
the P. G. is Just exactly what
Minister Stevens did against the
legitimate government of Hawaii.
Yet in that case. in the opinion
of the Advertiser and Of Mrs. Dole
it was a holy cause of liberty.
Can anything be more astounding
than the supercilious conceit of
these people.

JOY being ruled by an alien racel
Is there any reason for disbeliev-
ing the Queens statement that
at the beginning of her reign
petitions were sent from ali
parts Of the kingdom asking for
new constitution 1t would be
strange. indeed, If the Hawaiisns
did not believe in home rule.
The Queens offense, then, was in
attempting to give the people
other than the ruling classes
fuller participation in the govern
ment-
There were conferences bet
ween members Of the Cabinet and
certain gentlemen of the reform
or revolutionary part-the Queen
mentions Thurston as one of the
conferees-and after these talks
the Queens advisers refused to
append their signatures to the
proposed constitution and urged
her not to promulgata it. SO she
abandoned her purpose. This
IS the important point. On Sa-
turday. January IA. she announ-
ced to the Cabinet and to the
people that she had yielded to
the advice of her ministers, as
they had promised that on some
future day she could give them a
new constitution. BY Saturday
night the pretext on which the
revolutionists acted had ceased
to exist. There was not the
slightest disturbance Saturday
night or Sunday. At 10 o'clock
Monday morning the Queen says
that the ministry issued an official
notice. Stating that the position
| l took and the attempt 1 made to
promulgate new constitution
was at the earnest solicitation OF
my people-of my native subjects.
They gave assurances that any
changes desired in the fundamen
| tai law of the land would t,
sought only by methods provided
| in the constitution itself. an(
signed by myself and ministe +:
It was inten ded to reassure th,
people so that they might continl'
to maintain order and peace.
The Reform party had held
meeting on Sunday. and th
Queen probably felt that sh
would have to do something more
to assure them that the old con
stitution was to stand. This she
did as early as 10 O clock Monda,
morning. So by that time th
"royalist revolution" was over
And yet at 5 o'clock that nigh
the marines were landed fir ON tn,
Boston in utter disregard of tn,
protest of the lawful government,
and even before the revolutions t
themselves were quite ready fol
them.
| 1t seems to US that one thing at
least is perfectly clear, and that
is that the ground on which the
reyolutionists originally stood i.
cut from under their feet. The,
pretended that they were fighting
despotlc effort to force rev
constitution upon the people
That attempt was abandoned al
least fortv-eight hours before the
marines came ashore. Whatever
may be thought of the rest of the
native" case, this much at least
is plain. The liberties of the
gentlemen were not In danger
This being so, the whole move
ment degenerates into vulgar
grab for power. And whether j,
is true or not that our represen-
tative backed this raid upon an
