TUESDAY, JULY 80, 1894.
MINIsTERIAL COURTESY.

Mr.. f. M. Hatch, is certainly
unique specimen of Minister of
Foreign Affairs, il he is responsible
for the insult offered few days ago
to the OK. Queen of Hawaii, and to
Mrs. j. 81. Wodehouse, the wife Of
the ex-British Minister, Major j. 81.
Wodehouse. Mrs. Wodehouse ap-
piled for permission to call on the
ex-Queen previous to the family's
departure. The lady has known and
been on friendly terms with Queen
Liliuokalani for twenty-eight years.
Mrs. Wodehouse leaves these islands
permanently in few days and she
naturally desired to say a possibly
final goodbye to her friend of yore.
A clerk in the employ of the Minis
ter of Foreign Affairs answered her
letter, refusing the requested inter-
view. The poorest and commonest
prisoner in Oahu Jail is granted
privileges which are denied to the
woman who sat on Hawaii's throne,
and to whose company Mr.. Hatch
and his family were ever willing to
come. Robert Wilcox is given q
holiday at the birth of a child.
Another political prisoner is allow
cd to attend the funeral of a rela-
tion. Again others receive friends
and relations on all occasions, but
the proper and natural request Of
the wife of the ex-British Minister
to say goodbye to her quondam
royal friend is refused by team
like Minister f. M. Hatch and his
clerk 1t is commonly reported that
the refusal was caused by Mrs.
Wodehouse's reference to Liliuoka-
lani as ex-Queen Of Hawaii. Had she
asked to see Mrs. Dominis, it is said
that her request would have been
granted. We believe it. Such a
small transaction is exactly of the
size of the brain and body Of Ha.
waits Minister Of Foreign Affairs.

the Republic IS very proper Moth
ing encourages officials more in do
ing their duty than promotion
whenever opportunity offers. AS
Deputy Marshal Mr.. Brown has
done very well, and he has always
been found courteous aud obliging.

honors will not make his feet too
big Tor his boots, or his head too

like, az a rule, to advertise our
neighbor's goods, but the richness
OF some OF the expressions used
seems to have escaped the eagle eye
OF the gentlemen who furnish the
political psbulum for he morning
journal. We pass the wildly gor-
geous slush about the birds--mynahs
and alaes--"tuping their native
wood notes wild" and "the frailest
plant"-the Chinese stink weed
"twining its parasitical arms around
the supporting stem, lavishing it's
tropical sweets, upon the delightful
air of these beautiful mornings"
Every tourist will make these hor-
rid mistakes.
The other usual under-g graduate,
home from college, SMILES borrowed
from chemistry and psychological
poetry, are here also, but, it would
be cruel to drag them from their
present obscurity into the gsrish
light of day of Hawaiian criticism.
But when it comes to the political
situation the following is too lus-
cious to be- reserved for the amaze
ment of the fogies who still read the
Advertiser. Listen and wonder, all
ye who know the politics of that
venerable and antiquated sheet; we
have added few italics to empha-
size the fearfully wonderful accusa-
tion he brings:
"You need halt million Of good,
sensible men and women with
brains, culture, refinement and money.
| do not mean these extra goody-
goody folks, for the man or woman
who have no faults are generally
without virtues; neither has the man
aoi'hout en'mies any force of character.
[ mean human men aud women who
love home, country aud fag-who
will build up the home, develop the
resources of these islands and de-
fend the country, its constitution
and it's flag. a fea0 sugar barons and
coffee kings-the balance of the popula-
tiOn disfranchised n,en,als-apiH ntVer
make country in which men or money
wiH hare confdenee. Let the world
know the wonderful possibilities of
these islands. Offer the best in
ducements you can in the form Of
liberal land laws; remove all OBJ
struction, if any exists, to the i'm
portation of live stock, agricultural
implements, household goods, etc.
Secure specially low rates for those
who come to make the islands their
permanent home; believe some
people from the outside are honest,
and would come here for honorable
motives, and, in my Judgment. you
would soon have the wealthiest,
busiest and happiest Republic on
earth"

TOPICS OF THE DAY,

A "visitor" in the Advertisers
columns express himself as follows
re w. r. Castle:
"The American people will vel

He is very we'll known in the States,
and like his worthy predecessor, is
regarded as representing the highest
type of manhood as well as the
best interests of his nation. He will
enter the the United States by all
that great country's wishes blest,
whose every loyal man, woman and
child will hail the day when Minis
ter Castle can drop the official toga
and greet all Americans as fellow
citizens"

The retirement Of Marshal Hitch
cock is m,ve in the right direction.
The retiriuA official has not been
suitable TOD the position held hy
him. IL. is !nbued with the most
remarkable ideas 10 regard to the
relations between the tax payers
and their servaits, the officials. His
old positions a, the autocrat OF
plantation and, hter on, of che ISL
and of Hawaii, where the easy-going
inhabitants toleiated his arrogance
and officionsnes, spoiled him for
the Office recently held by him in
Honolulu. The tax payers here
stand no bulldosibg and they object
to having servaht-be he marshal
or common polcemeu-sweari
cursing, abusing and browbeating
themselves, their wives and chill
dren, and other female relations.
Marshal Hitchcock could not see
the difference between Hilo and
Honolulu and continued his OBJ
jectionable conduct. The public
resented it and made him feel tn.
resentment. That made him dis.
gusted and he now HES himself to
Hilo, where we understand he will
be far from welcome in his official
capacity. If the Hiloites will toler-
ate more of its reappointed sheriffs
browbeating all we can say is that
they deserve all they will get.
The Senate has fually killed the
y opposed Electric Car Franchise,
aud it has at the time proposed an
amendment to Chapter "a OF the
Laws of 1890, entitled: Gan Act to
permit the Hawaiian Tramways
Company, Limited, to Use and
Maintain Electric Traction" The
intention Of the new Act may be
very good, and we suppose it has
been brought forward as sop to
the different leagues, cliques, unione,
etc, who were induced to pass reso
lutions in favor of the deceased
franchise bill, but we are strongly
inclined to believe that the propos-
ed Act, in its present shape, is un-
constitutional. The Hawaiian Tram
ways Co. received its charter in
1884. In 1890 the privilege to change
the motor from animal to electricity y
was granted, aud no limit was set
for the said change. We hold that
the present charter, under our con-
stitution, cannot be changed by
legislative action except with the
sanction and by petition OF the
charterholders. All acts according
to the constitution of the Republic
which we're in force at thu time OF
ts promllgation remain so il not
contrary to its provisions. The pro.
posed amendment to the Act of
1890 would be er post facto legisla
tion and consequently unconstitu-
tional.
The members of the late Labor
@ ,mmission will get $1,000 for th-ic
services. Three OF the members
had signified their willingness to
serve without pay, while Mr. Sever
ance wanted money because he has
been sitting around the Office Of the
Commission every day and having
nothing else to-do. As the Legisla'
ture has decided to pay the mem,
