lOuIS truly,
\. NJ BROWN.
Marshal, Republic of Hawaii, Com
handing Citizens Guard.
Word was sent around Saturday that
the Citizens Guard was wanted to
prevent a possible riot, though by
whom we cannot say. Perhaps the mes
sage was sent by the authorities. who,
not sharing Mr.. Browns views Of the
"inoffensive" character of the Chinese
and japanese population, wrote a hur-
ry call to Colonel Mills for the United
States troops, and ordered out the ak
helve brigade besides. 1t is all very
well for Brown to talk about no dan
ger on Saturday afternoon, but every
body knows that such a statement is
absurd. If'the Asiatics had rushed, he
and his police would have been carried
along like chips on the rapids. That
the. Asiatics did not do so is more to
the credit of the National Guards
men and the ax-helve brigade, largely
composed of volunteers from the Citi-
zens' Guard, than it is to the few ex-
cited policemen who surrounded the
chief. -.-
This paper has not intended to ques-
ton the value of the Citizens Guard.
but it insists, touching the efficacy of
the present organization, that the
Marshal could not have got the Guard
out in time on Saturday if he had tried
to-especially if that force had been
wanted under arms. Those members
who understood that a call had been
issued and were serving as sanitary
inspectors gave as an excuse for not
that they considered it
their duty to stay where they were.
Yet on the brink of possible riot they
should have dropped everything. They
would have done so in McStocker's
time and in that of the lamented z. G.
Those officials were not
much on uniforms and shape but
they knew how to run a Citizens
Guard.
Now If Marshal Brown wants to
rush into print some more, we will
give him room to explain why he per-
mitted so many Chinese stores within
pistol shot of the police station to be
robbed on Saturday night.

ter from Marshal Brown, which ex-
plains itself:
Editor Advertiser: In your issue OF
| the 21st and 22d criticism is made OF
the Citizens Guard. as a body, for
/ falling to turn out for duty when. as
you alIege, they were called upon to
do so.
Such criticism is extremely unjust
and unfair to the members of this
organization, for the reason that the
facts do not support any such criticism.
The Citizens Guard was not called
upon to turn out for duty last catur-
day, the 21st, there being no riot nor
any apparent necessity for such q call.
The Citizens Guard, an organization
consisting of persons holding commits
sions as special police constables, is
auxiliary to the regular police force
and subject to call only by the Mar
shall in cases Of great emergency. to
which calls the Guard always has and
always is ready to respond.
The handling of the mild, inoffen-
sive inhabitants of the infected dis
trict last Saturday was fully within
the power of the regular police, the
National Guard and the Board of
Health officials: and to have called
out the Citizens Guard for any such
purpose would have been absurd in
the extreme.
The Citizens Guard, as an organi-
cation, is today in better shape than
ever before and more fully prepared
and equipped for service. when need

verse in this months issue is also very
good. The number as Il whole is very
