1t is to me something perfectly
miraculous how members of the
genus "blatherskite" will roll off
steamer on to these shores and
tell as all about ourselves, our
country, our wants, and our
prospects, inside of five minutes
after they have landed, but l
suppose il comes easy to them
after some practise, and that they
have as much faith in themselves
as they would like others to have
in them. l am afraid, however,
that they would fall terribly, even
! in their own estimation, if they
could only realise for moment
how very little their views and
opinions are considered by those
who read them.
Before closing my remarks on
the particular P b who airs
himself in this mornings Adver-
tiser, l would like to ask what the
sense of the opinion given on the
Durrell case is? We Are told the
P B aforesaid is "a learned
visitor" so L presume he will not
mind giving another interview in
which he might explain what it
is the President of the United
States should do when a citizen of
the United States is outraged in a
foreign country. Would it be en-
tirely satisfactory to the learned
visitor if the President of the Unit
ed States on reading this morning s
Advertiser was to say that the
opinions published in the news
paper, with which the future Ha-
waiian Minister is so intimately
associated, had found favor in
his eyes, that he repented of hav-
ing made any attempt to set right
the injustice done to a citizen of
the United States, and that Mr..
Durrell and any one like him in
any other part of the universe
may go to the dickens for all the
President of the United States
cared? The head of the United
States cannot with justice be call
ed "malign," "discourteous,'
"ill-advised," "politically deprav-
ed and licentious," because he
interferes to protect a citizen Of
the country at whose head he
finds himself when that either
