men is given in another column. and we
have no doubt that it meets with the po-
liticaI Bishops hearty approval. Even
now we can picture with what gusto
he will rub his hands and Irvine one of
his supine caliper extremities over the
other as he gleefully observes what a
splendid convert he has in one ]. P.
I.ytton. If Mr.. Lytton were anything
s.r- q Blind follower of our great and
good friend, Bishop Willis, he would
be amenable TO the charge Of gross and
premeditated deception; but under the
circumstances we are obliged TO give
him the benefit OF the doubt, excuse his
Ignorance and extend sympathy TO a
poor fellow who doesn't know what he
is talking about.
The source of a great portion of his
information is let out when he tells
the people TO what Office he was directed
by his 1.-the political superior. Then he
goes on to tell about the celebration of
the Fourth. He says the American flag
predominated, and little later in hH
wanderings talks about there being no
American interests in Hawaii to pro-
tect. Where. oh. where. Brother Lytton.
did those flags come from if there are
no Americans, no American interests
here? Put up just for effect, possibly?
Doubtless this was the idea of the po
utical Bishop, but the American people
know better. The poor pupil of the
Bishop doesn't, since all his associ-
alton and study has been under the SUI
pervision OF an Englishman whose mar
rov-minded bigotry disgusts even his
own countrymen. If Mr.. Lytton had
made an attempt TO post himself upon
The true situation his remarks would be
8 disgrace 10 the American people and
the American flag. There were others
of high official standing in the United
States who not long ago made just the
same statements as Mr.. Lytton- These
men were politicians. They were proved
TO be prevarieators of the worst type,
men who had no regard for the truth,
and their action was condemned from
one end of the United States TO the
other. One has been relegated to po-
litical oblivion and the others will fol-
low in his footsteps shortly. Possibly
Mr.. Lytton's teacher didn't tell him all
this, but the American people know it.
And the people OF Hawaii know it.
Again the political pupil says the
Government expenditures are far in ex-
cess Of the revenue. This is not true.
He says also that taxation is enor-
mously high This is not true, and We
do not believe it would be safe for him
TO compare the taxation of West Plains.
No. with that of Hawaii in support OF
the mfsstatement.
Taken all in all. Mr.. Lytton's com
munfcation to his fellow citizens is a

zeRwe suppose Mr.. Lytton is citizen

IN dealing with Misrepresentation
penned by Pupil Lytton it is not the
purpose Of this paper 10 rake over the
history Of the affairs in this country
which finally led up TO the revolution
OF 1883 The whole matter was thor

made against Minister Stevens. the on

Pupil Lyttou has been taught TO stand
upon The pupil has simply resur-

records Of the United States Congress
and which every honest citizen Of The
