ASIATIC LOVER

liable paper to air a certain griev-

attack made upon me little more
than a week ago, anent the author

dissemination of certain published
agricultural information among ma
tive Hawaiians. which was introduc-
ed in the House of Representatives
and fathered by Representative A. S.
Kaleiopu. This grievance seems ra-

With regard to its attack upon
Representative kaleiOpu. | deem IL
so puerile, thereby showing its Sc
nillty, that 1t needs no notice what
soever beyond silent contempt. The
editor shows his usual antipathy To
iIawaiians in general as well as to
everything native Hawaiian. When
he encourages Hawaiians to study
the example of John Chinaman," he
shows his Asiatic teeth. who at one
time had Asiatics TO build his house,

It Is no disgrace to be credited
with the authorship OF such n rcso-
lution, which all the daily papers,
the Advertiser included, termed as a
sensible measure" What need Is
there to say more, unless It be to ex-
pose its cantakerousness. II II Is
such a sensible measure, as reported
in even its own legislative columns,
then surely II must be good, and
when II is good, then II also must
be a just one. Everyone to whom
the matter has been spoken about as
well as those who have read the
newspaper reports, all speak well of
II with the only exception as herein
noted.
