THE ACHIEVING ARTICLES.
The Editorial Utterances Which Preci
plated the Shooting of Stevens.

The two articles which appeared in
the Republican and which precipitated
the attacks on r. S. Gill and his shoot
ing of Mortimer l. Stevens were a
leading article and another article in
the local columns. The editorial was
as follows:
BEWARE! SHE'S POOLING THEE. ~
1T looks like a mighty mean thing to
to "tip-off" another fellows game
but The Republican really cannot see
the young men of the city devote their
undivided attention to young ladies'
from the Mainland of whom they have
but little knowledge. At one of the
hotels there are three young ladies'.
They are here on a visit. They are
pretty and dainty and accomplished
but the young men who swarm about
them are wasting their time for the
ladies are all three to be married very,
very shortly. We have this from an
unimpeachable source-the young ladies
themselves. For in the eXuberance of
their spirits over the jolly good time
they have been having in this city they
have taken nearly everybody in town
into their confidence except the young
men who are paying them suit. We do
not mean to say that the young ladies
have come to us and made a heart to-
heart confession of their little affairs,
but the lanai of the hotel is large and
its acoustic properties have consider
ably aided in the spreading of the news,
J by the careless, light hearted way the
| girls have of discussing what Charley
or Frank or Ben has done, or will do to
make it pleasant for them. Just to

home"
The local article was as follows

Now it has come to pass that there
are certain young ladies sojourning
within the gates of Honolulu who have
made a nine-strike with several young
men. The latter for the time being
have laid by the ordinary duties of life
and are sitting up nights trying to thinl
out nice and novel ways for entertain.

ters are at the best, there is one young
man who is fast losing his heart. The
young lady to whom he is paying parti-
cular attention seems so appreciative
too. She upbraids him for his prodi-
! gality, and tells the dear boy not tC
spend his money, intreats with him, i'm
plores, does everything in fact, but re-
fuse to accept his attention. All this
time the one young man in particular
is unmindful of the fact that even now
in far away Los Angeles, the engrave
is working up a plate from which viii
soon be printed invitations announcing
the young lady's marriage to a wealthy
young Angeleno. And the gentleman
in the land of sunshine, fruit and tOu
rists fondly thinks that his beloved Il

married young lady should.

their actions, put up such an innocen
front that their would-be censors haV,
not the heart to criticize them. A wore
of advice might not be out of place. fl
