Will you oblige some oi
your anxious country re aders BY
enlightening Us on some vexed
points. as We are not in touch
with the capital and cannot IN.
derstsnd sill that is going on.
What mad lunatic wrote the
new p & constitution. and Why
don't you people of Honolulu
lock him up in the Insane Asylum
whera he can do no more harm
Since the royalists outnumber
the filibustering p. 6. gang 100
to l are the Hawaiians and royal
lists of Honolulu such crayens as
TO submit without protest or
resistance to such an internal
tyranny as the p. g. constitution

Call ON the rural districts. we

ccre. and fighting mad.
Why is the Patriotic League so
silent! Her Majesty the Queen
aud the officers of the league sent
out an Injunction to the people
all over the islands to keep the
peace, pending an answer to our
appeal which was in arbitration
before the government of the
United States. That we must
trust to American honor to undo
the political crime of Stevens and
restore the constitutional govern
ment which he subverted. Is it
not high time this injunction was
removedl Is it not now amply
evident that American honor is a
doubtful quantity2 Do not the
dishonest attitude Of the Ameri-
can press, and the conduct of the
United States Senate indicate a
plot to cruelty deceive the Hawai-.
ian people, aud sell them out to
their tyrannical usurpersl
Did not Minister Willis show a
distinct part;ality to the p. g.,
when he tsmely left with them a
mild suggestion to give mp the
government. which they were to
answer at their leisure, while the
Queen was compelled to give I'M
mediate answer to a serious
question, and though her answer
was polite enough since it was
not in her proven under the cons
titution either to order or to revoke
punishment, and though our laws
do not provide for "beheading"

Does the gossip of the capital
give any clue as to whether the
United States representative still
beltrsves that the great p. g. men
represent the "best intelligence"
of the islands. and that the royal
lists are not to be intrusted with
the welfare of the country as be
intimated in one of his published
dispatches Has he not yet dis
covered that the royalist majority
include some of the leading names
of the country, the peers in
wealth and Intelligence, and of
higher rank in experience, ability
and liberal ideas who enjoy the
confidence Of the people at Target
And what has become of the
much vaunted American prin-
ciples OF liberty. freedom and the
rights of an enlightened peoplel
Are they only y mythical romance
made for sprsad-eagle, fourth-of
July orators3 Else why do we
see cabal controlled by usurp-
ing Americans and countenanced
by the diplomatic and naval
representatives of the United
States sitting in solemn conclaye
for the avowed purpose of quench-
ing the rights and liberties and
freedom of the citizeD of Hawaii,
and attempting to erect on them
the strange anarchy Of despotic
and tyrannical republicl
There is lots more that l would
like to ask. but this will do for
this time. Yours.
