Truth is unpleasant and as Mr.. j.
W. Luning advices man in Michi-
gan not to invest in coffee lands in Ha-
waii, and gives good reasons for his
advice, he is treated to an ebullition
OF scurrilous personalities, which
breaks the record even Of the organ

Without asking any questions as
to how Mr.. Luning's letter to Mr..
Ward got into the possession of the
Advertiser we will state the plain
facts. In the month of May, 1897,
Mr.. Luuing received the following
letter:
BATTLE CREEK, Mich, May 5, 1897.
JNo. w. LUNINe, ESQ, Honolulu.
Dear Sir:-What information can
you give me as to the coffee produc-
ing business of the islands, have
. book issued by your Government
but desire to get the opinion of
others, do you consider it desir-
able business to enter into, and
about how much capital is required
to insure a comfortable margin.
Are the crops often failure, and do
you know of any desirable lands for
sale, anywhere near some town. An
carly reply will oblige. Yours,
FRANK w. WARD,
Wholesale Grain and Coal, Milling

Mr.. Luning answered this letter
ON the End of June and wrote to
Mr.. Ward:
FRANK W. WARD, ESQ, Battle Creek,
Mich, U. S. A.
Strive are in receipt OF letter
from you under date of May 9th, to
which we can reply with very little
satisfaction, as the subject is one
that is hard to write about.
The book you say you have will
most likely give you as accurate in
formation and figures, as any person
could privately, as it was compiled
by the Government in order to at
tract white people to the islands,
and we say God help them when
they come as we have been here 20
years, and ought to know what the
outlook is for white men. If you
want to do constant wedding and
hard work personally miles away
from any town or civilization, you
may be able to do something with
coffee, but the experience of one

be greatness in being conspicuously
nothing. She is herself clean shoot OF
a very corrupt old tree. clean, but with
out the vigor that marked her ancestors.
The Georges were bad lot ali four OF
them. The assertion made by one OF
the big divines of the country the other
day that she had directly and continu-
ousiy descended from a line OF thou
sand years of great kings and queens IS
not true. And if il were true, she is not
great except as above asserted. Her
genealogy runs so:
George ". was her dissolute uncle,
commonly called 1.-The first gentleman
in Europe" George Ill, her grand
father. was the grandson Of George II.
The Georges were descended from
daughter Of James l., the father OF
Charles l., who was beheaded IN
l649. None of Victoria's ancestors
reigned from James death until George
l. came to the throne. He was the
German Elector of Hanover.
Then there is another stretch OF
more than a century in which none OF
her ancestors reigned; for James was
the son OF Mary, Queen of Scots,
whose grandmother, Margaret, was the
daughter of Henry VII, who defeated
Richard III. and took his crown.
Henry VII, too, was not descended
from any Of the kings who reigned for
. hundred years before him, but was
great randson of John Of Gaunt a
Younger son of Edward III. During
that injury Incurred the war Of the
roses in which both branches Of the
royal family nearly exterminated the
ether Henry VI, however, married
a daughter of Edward ", SO that Vic
toria is descended from the ''house Of
York" Henry being Of the house OF
Lancaster, whose first king, Henry w.
dethloned Richard H., who was muir
dered n prison.
Edward Ill was OF direct descent
from Henry II. Plantagene0 whose
r,other, Matilda, the only daughter Of
Henry l., kept up long and ruinous
civil war with King Stephen, the son
OF William the Conqueror's daughter,
Adela; his three sons having died
childless; so that the male lines Of
descent from the bastard William the
Conqueror, lapsed in the first genera
ton.
AS for anything farther, the Eagle is
Tot interested in Queen Victoria further
than to rebuke the toadyism Of Ameri-
cans. When she first opened her eyes
upon the world America wasn't much
further away from the war of the Rev.
olution, in which we had whipped Eng
land than we of today are away from
the Rebellion. The men who had driv-
en- the redcoats back and out Of the
country for the most part were still liv-
ing when Victoria was born She was
born neither queen nor a princess. but
as the daughter of the Duke Of York,
a poor but nice gentleman who happen

swer is no. Then why should we. Arc
we more forbearing than other people,
or 40 we sympathize SO deeply with the
people who have made promises Of re-
form simply to break them. The .yir-
ginian nan asked yesterday why the

that they had no cars to do the work.
