ofthe Hawaiiaus were greatly enraged |
and highly incensed. All or these
statements, except the conclusion
drawn from the first, are statements
of facts, are true, and can be easily
verified by any one who undertakes
! the task.
The ADVERTISER seeks to answer
these statements of fact with personal
abuse of the writer. If this were
| sufficient answer, or if thereby these
facts could be changed or mod1ned, or
| If more of the same in kind would

end, the writer will give upon request
the names of papers and INDIVIDUALS
| who will furnish columns or similar
stuff, and no one would be better
pleased than the writer to see the re
suit accomplished.

that does not rest solely in the MIND
of the writer. The HawaIlans from
one end of these islands to the other
are aroused and indignant at the out
