II the editorial combination really
desires to build up the country let
it join us in showing every un-
healthy scheme, in exposing the
miser able state of the finances Of
the Government, aud in warning
strangers from coming to these isl.
ands while the labor market is over
stocked, Asiatic competition para
mount, and financial and CONNER
cial depression reigning. That is
what we are doing, for the good OF
the country, while the Advertiser,
when not filed with editorial rot
about English politics of which it
knows nothing, or school systems
and methods, Of which it knows less,
devotes its space to booming private
schemes, throwing out Inducements
to unfortunate "small farmers" and
wrongfully representing the official
and private financial situation as
being above criticism, and sounder
and safer than ever before. Let the
truth prevail and the country will
be built up under "the best govern
ment Hawaii ever had" when the
right architect and contractors take
hold of the job.

In the latest number Of the Ha-
waiian appears an article on the
actions of the officers and men OF the
American navy in Hawaii. While
we have always denounced their
political attitude, when used to
bolster up the jingoism, here and
have criticised severely the impolitc,
and at times extremely objection
able, steps taken by several of their
number we have had no objection to
the American navy as a whole, or to
its members when conducting them
selves, as they usually do, as gentle
men. Therefore, we deprecate in
the strongest terms, all such un
gentlemanly personal illusions as
the Hawaiian gives publicity to.
Supposing for example, you have a
dispute with chimney sweep, it
certainly doesn't make you any
cleaner to 6ght him with bare
knuckles. And no. gentleman ever
alludes to the foibles OF other
persons entitled to meet in his
company, by either rank oristation;
even in words, still less tries to
make them opprobrious in print,
which goes into the homes of his
relations. What difference does it
make to the actions of the Hawaiian
Government towards the United
States, or the reverse, what the in
diyidual conduct of any man be-
longing to either nation was, on any
festive occasion, unless the same
had some direct bearing on the
official transactions between the two

the Hawaiian's editor should blindly
rush in on the same pathway. He,
surely, hasn't had any business deal
ings with the Company. Neither
do we see why he should ascribe all
the sin and shame which he says he
encountered at Waiauae to the credit
of the management OF the sugar
company there, As we'll as might
he assert that the cause of all the
saloons in Honolulu is President
Dole, and that he is the only sup
port of the meat trust These
modes of argument are amusing, at
times, from their sarcasm, but their
witticisms are dulled by their
coarseness, aud they always fail OF
their object from their obvious ex-
aggeration and untruthfulness. The
railway to Waanae is public benefit
and is certainly of great benefit to the
whole population of Oahu. No mat
ter who owns it or who manages it.
Those things are personal affairs
not to be regarded in political
fights.

Last Saturday afternoon native
known as Joe, who lives near the
corner OF Liliha and King streets,
and who is somewhat deranged but
has been considered harmless, got
possessed OF a maniscal idea and
started running towards Kalihi yell
ing and screaming. Patrolman Paul
Moleuhauer, who was on the beat,
pursued the crazy man and over
took him outside the residence OF
j, l, Dowsett. He spoke to the man
who accused him of "having taken
my children" Molenhauer released
the fellow and turning to Officer
Jim Kupihea, who had followed
him. he inquired if the man was
crazy. While the two officers were
conversing the native suddenly came
running again and made an attack
on the mounted officer, stabbing him
in several places with a knife. The
horse got frightened and before any
one could interfere Molenhauer fell
off. Kupihea clinched with the ma
MAC who tried to stab him but with
out success, and he was finally over.

house. Molenbauer was sent to the
hospital and his wounds atteudedto

No reason can be ascribed for the
attack except the deranged mind of
the native, who presumably had
been filling up on swipes and saki.

BUILDING UP THE COUNTRY.

The official morning organ has
suddenly gone on the war-path
against the independent papers Of
Honolulu. It's cry that tits time that
something is done to the said pa
pers if they don't "build up the in
stitutions Of the country" is anus
ing and surprising. What country,
may we ask, is the Advertiser re-
ferring tot A country represented
by the Johnnies-come-lately, who

ditions, wants and sentiments

The Marshal wanted to suppress
our paper a little while ago. Now
the Advertiser, which is in the hands
of that gentleman's family relations,
wants to do the same thing, and be-
comes somewhat scurrilous on the
subject. 1t cannot suppose that
anyone can have honest convictions
but itself, or that any opposition to
its schemes can be anything but die
tated by personal enmity.

And 30 $1.15 was not the only sum
received by A. Gilfillan for his
opium seizures. Only he had to
give the rest away to supplement
the small salaries of the tidewaiters
and customguards. Just 80 as to
give them enough to live on. And
has the government come to this?
Must it take the la vful fines from
some people and give them to
others, because ii hasn't enough
revenues to pay them decent
salary and allow them to do their
duty honestly. Let the Legislature

badly better prepared to take charge

The criticism OF the actions Of the
Government advanced in our paper
is the means OF "building up the
country" in a structure acceptable
to the demands of the nation. The
schemes and measures advocated by
the non-independent Advertiser and
considered by the Legislature have
been defeated, not because those
measures were opposed by us but
because the hidden intents and sell
fish objects of the measure could
not be tolerated even by a Legisla-
ture which, virtually as whole,
stands pledged to support Mr..
Dole's administration through
thick and thin" The Advertiser
whines because we always see "a
nigger in the woodpile." He seems
to be there and appears to be plain
ly visible to the Senate as well. That
the "nigger" is owned or patronized
by the Advertiser clique is to be de-
plored, as far as the "nigger" is con-
cerned, because he is fated to meet
his death on every point.
