A BOLD FALsEHooD.

In the yellow" columns Of the
once reputable Advertiser appears
the following paragraph which 10
intended to cast slur on the peo-
pie who received Prince David upon
his return from q tour around the
Island OF Oahu during tho recent
campaign:
II was on the occasion OF the lusu
at AnahAu to celebrate the return
OF Prince David from his political
tour OF the Island, undertaken about
six weeks ago. On that occasion,
and while slightly under the ipfu-
snoe OF liquor, Bennett attempted
to make speech 10 favor of the
principles OF Democracy. The as
sembled crowd, composed for the
most part OF irresponsible persons
infamNd with drink, would MT
grant him hearing, however, and
he was loudly iseredl at.
That the man B .nnett WAS drunk
10 au iudi'pltable fsct, and that he
had no business on the premises OF
Prince David became very evident
whom he was requested to rstire.
There we're no persons on that po.
litisal occasion under the influence
OF liquor, q fact which the "yellow"
journal could easily have secured
by referring to its own reporter
who, by oourtsay in that instance,
was . tolerated guest. The constant
vili6eatiors OF the Hawaiians in the
Advertiser will simply serve to
widen the ohasm between the fam
lily compact and the voters. That
the family compact will 60 under in
the fight goes without saying, but
II the missionary party insists in
committing political suicide it is of
course ct liberty to do so. But after
the missionaries" have buried for
good and for ever we hope they
will not do the baby spook act and
cry for suocor in Washington
against the people they have wan
tonly insulted aud ridicaled. II
the Dole clique hopes to have any
influence in tho oominR Legislature
it should appoint press censor and
provide him with a muzzle to be
used on the indiscreet bunglers who
are politically running not alone the
local Republican party but the best
interests Of the country.

A Curious Character.

Yesterday James Bennett a we'll
known character in town died at
tho Victoria Hospital. The de
ceased was about 81 years OF age
and was one OF the typical chsrac
ters who in the easy life OF Homo
lulu now turns up as . common
drunk, then as daring smuRglcr OF
opium aud then as well infofmad,
educated man. He was originally
q printer aud we have reason to be-.
lieve the truth OF his statement that
he was . brother to the father OF
James Gordon Bennett, the cele,
brsted owner of the New York
Herald. When 10 liquor Bennett
rarely mentioned his relationship
to the famous commodore. When
perfectly sober he was as rule re.
ticent, but tho writer was fellow
prisoner with him in Oahu Jail he
spoke in way which carried with
it the conviction that the man told
the truth, aud subsequent investiga-
tions at Washington have not shak-
en- that belief. "Bos'n Ben the
name by which he was known here
admitted always that he Was the
black sheep in his family, but he
always claimed that he was swipdlsd
sad robbed by his brother and by
his nephew, the world-known news
paper man and millionaire. Who
can telli Sometimrs facts are
stranger than fiction, and to day
perhaps the uncle of the Herald
man lies in paupers grave in Ho-
nolulu.
