Th« w Advert*ser” in jesterd*y> j is«nie *atn*rte th*t lb« lfou>MCA \ *ttacks ali reepect*ble people *nd ; ir.dalge* in {icreon»l abu«e. W e ‘ reqaest the editc*r of the ‘*Adver- | ti*er ’ to point out to us * single j insl*nce in whieh we have *Iluded 1 to, or *bu»ed U»e private life or afT*irs of *ny of our pulitic*l opponenl*. We cr»tici*e in strong. *nd, we feel n»sured, truthful l*ngu*ge, the puhlie *ctions of the men who h*ve heeome eonapieuoue politic*lly by their aetions in tbe cummunity, but nobody ean s*y that we ever print anytbing for tbe scand*l-monger or prunent tu delight in. The *‘Ad▼eilieen” on theoontr*rv, in neariy eveiy issue indulges in vi!e pereonai slandern ag*im«t private people, and it never discusses the opinions and action» of the men oppueed to the Heforra Party’s GoverHmeut, but only tries to find *nd puhliah aome malieiou» *nd untruthful slar against the private life of eueh men. The “Advertiser” favors annexation and wishes us all to heeome Americ*ns and adopt Americsn institutions. At the «ame tlme it whinee over our form of journalism, whieh ev«ry American newspa|ier-man will stamp as the milk and water sty!e cumpared to the American slyle. and wants every paper 6uppressed whieh thmws the light of truth on tbe pi>licy of the “Advertiser” clique. Should the “Advertiser” wish, though, to initiate an era of personal jour.ia!ism here aueh as it hae started in its attack on Messrs Kenyon and Nurrie, we ehall, howover objectionable it may be to our feeling», ful)ow suit, and we think that the family oumpaei will Ihen feel very 8hortly very sick indeed, and wish the skeIetons whieh we ean conjure np, haek to their resjH*ctive fimily-cioset6 again. W r e recommend to the perusal of tbe Provisional Government and the “Advertiser” editor Mr. Thuretou’s 8{>eeche8 in the Legielature of 1892 on the ooeaaiona ikhen certain mombers of the House wenl aflcr the scalp of the u Advertiaer” editor. Altough tbe **AdvertiBer” pubhshed the most in9ulting artielee against the Hawaiian memhen and against tbe Nalional Reform Party, Mr. Thu»ton always held that the country »nd especially anybody of puhlie men whieh BhouId attempt to suppres9 free epeeeh and ltberty of the press were not worthy to bold rank in the civilixaiion of the 19tb oentury. W’hen we get ieisure, we shall hunt np the speeches of Measrs Tbureton and 6mith on this poini and reproduoe them. • The repoaling of the law i»roviding for a third district m*gistrate at Hilo is the mon remarUble of aii the remarkable prooeedings o i the Adv»8ory OouneU. The hill w*s paomd in oon»cqueo«e of * «« peiluim Wll I ner of U» Beforn Party, reprw*«t-J

' p, becaus« the hill was undoubted1T b*d. W*e bave oommented on ihe repe*l of the opium 'license hill. I*t that go heeauee to a cer- i tain extent puhlie sentiment is against the pnneiple of Ihe hill. But the repe*I of the Hilo judge hill is simoly * pieee of person*l legisl*tion wbjrhonghtn<>t to be to- | lerated. and to whieh Mr. D-*lc em- • phatically should have ivfused to [ilaee his signature. The editnr of this pa|>er Mr. J. Sheidoo was prnduced betore the Advisory Conncil yesU'rd*y after- | noon at 2 p.m., as it «eemed that f the assembled wiedom bad decided j to g» on with his ca»e h*-fore tbem ignoring the f«ct that a writ of; habeas corpus was pending before j the Circuit Court. Better oounee! prevailed, tbough, *nd , Mr. Sheldon was relea.«ed on 1100 j bail to await tbe decision of the haheae oorpos case. The case of Mr. Sheldon eame op l>efore Judge Frear at Chambere this morning at 11 o’eloek. Mr. Aahford for the defendant opened the eaae and raade a most eloquent addre88 laetiug oue boor. The pru8ecution repre«ented by Mr. Hatch will answer this afternoon, The imf»ortant question at iaaue is if the country has got a constitution or not, and if tbere are establiahed laws here, or if &11 citixeu8 are to be at the mercy of any arbitrary aeiiou the Provisional Government may take. The community sbonld be grateful to the Hoi.omi'a for bringing this vitai point to a test at a great deal of expense and inconvemence. The final deciaion will be awaited with a greatdeal of interest. The “Advert>8er” is daily reprinting from American papere expression8 of puhlie men io regard to annexation. We will fullow the example, but we will quotc from the “Advertiser” and aeleel Mr. Thurston’s speech on October the 16th, in the Hall of the Legislarure. Mr. Thureton’8 views on annexation coincide very mueh with our own and as he is reoognized as the prophet of the Reforpa Party his remarks deserve a great deal of attention. “He (Thureton) wAs not tal king on an annexation basis. The UniUd StaU$ vould never lake po*se*sion of thu conntry again*t the will of the peopU. It was not a live issue now, and when it was introduced, lt was done solely witb a view to mislead. Annex*tion was brought up and trotted out regularly, and was simply a 8'\bstitute for the old missiouary cry. When an election etc., wae over it would not be heard of again uniil a sirailar oeeaaion aroee. Before being frightened by the annexation scare crow, H wae well to stop *nd think. Att hi»tory belied the idea thnt the UniUd StaU» wouUi ever take thi» eountry again»t the wiU of the peopU. Jt had been firet to recognire its indepeodence. Daniel Webater aaid, “if the French took the ialands, tbey would take tbem haek and reatore their independence, lf it iook th« whole power of |Jnited States todo it” Th«t waa their poailipn and it h*d heen oonaletent1y maintained ever ainoe.” * % , >. ,, Tbe “Advertieer” oomee oui with hig beadtioee and a h*lfoolumn ei Ihe English io I m . _ _ * a | > I T i■! i i : I * m {litt bot dnn% H I

wh*t ean be expected from tbe j u Advertiser’ crowd who l*tely have themselves prominent in sttempting to create * race /eeling between tbe H*waii*ns *nd the foreigners here. To *void »ny opportnnity for poesible trouble smong the sailore, it would be expedient if the wmnunders of the different vessela would afrange *moqg themselTe« so tbat thire resp«rtive ships crews don’t get sbore le*ve on the s*me night Soch a preventive me*sure 5s very frequently *dopted in otber porta. The British n*val anthorities ; sbould be very careful in li«tening I to *ny compI*ints against their men. as these will be accused of all poeaihle irregularit»es and offenses ! by the cl»que who consider them betes noire. Tbe*mounted poliee were arouad I*st night and we regret that there *re loud coroplaints over their laek of competency and discretion. A large crowd had gathered on the corner of King and Nuuanu Streets bnt tbere was neither any distorhanee or any special reason to interfere with them. The mounted poliee, however, saw fit to charge on horeeback into the mass of people without any warning, exposing the peaeeahle citizens to the danger of being ridden do«n. A well known young gentleman who waa in ihe crowd barely escaped being run over by one of the oflficere by grabbing the bridle of the T»oree. He wasimmediatelvarrested by two of the miniona of the law and yanked to the Station at a ftUl trot helween two mounted men and in emineul danger of having his favorite corn stepped on by ft»e honea. — % Arrived at the Station House the Marehal was sent for, and after a sbort inveetigation he recognized the blunder of his newly created polieemen, and, with his usual urbanity, apologized to tbe Iatest victim of oflSciousness and al!owed him to depart. Has Martial Law heen secret1y declared, or what has struck our military forces? Last night beiween twelve and one o’eloek a haek containing three well-known gentlemen on their way home was held up with a round turn by two men evidently belonging to the regul*r army pok»ting tbeir ritles with hayonets on, at the horse, without even calling out to the driver to stop. To avoid having the horee speared the driver pulled up, and upon enquiry by the occupants of the carriage bv what right they were moleatad in a puhlie road, they were coolly informed by one of the riflemen that he wanted to see who was in the carriage! This oeennenoe took piaoe on Beretania 8treet outeide the forraer residence of Dr. J. firudie. The appeannee of the gentleaen ia the carriage aeemed to have B*t : .sfied the em-bryo-general and he proceeded to piaoe hia full-cocked rifle at safety with the muzxle still pointing into the csrriage where a sympathetic prayer for the «alfare of tbe life inaumuoe eompaniee waa silently breatbed. Afler aome incoherent statemeot about English aailon ihe cam«ge, waa al!owed to prooeed.
