We agree with Judge Estee that
the time has come to even use the
court rooms in which to teach Am
ericanism and we trust that in teach
ing it the fact will not be overlooked
that the Territory, by an Act Of

of men with whom hatred of thine

And we hope that in teaching
Americanism Judge Estee will dis
penss his own brand. The Estee
brand of Americanism is what the
natives want and what the haoles
should most desire. Ga the other

When we said that the native Ha-
wIilan was, is and will be Royalist,
we meant exactly what we said; and
did not imagine that there was a
mind on this beach so dense or pre-.
JUDGED as to question the truth OF
it, and, more than all, spasmodical-
ly ram its nut against the stone wall
of a condition fashioned by the
Most High and not amenable to the
antics of the Republican admins
tration. The Hawaiian is the best
sort OF an American citizen. He
gave up everything when he became
one, which is a good deal more than
some other people can say.
We understand that Wailuku peo-

baggage into crevice in a gnat's

room to move around in, Hospi-
tality that charges fifty cents to
cross a wire fence, fifty cents to
enter an enclosure, a dollar to get
into the grand-stand, two bits for
bottle OF soda water or ginger ale
and anywhere from fifty cents to
two dollars for sandwich and cup
of coffee is not the kind people
